Advisor to student ratio below optimal level

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Cori Kromrei | Staff photographer Downtown Mount Pleasant offers a variety of businesses for students to utilize, however most of the student traffic is at restaurants and bars.

Downtown divided Student traffic downtown begins and ends with nightlife

By Kelly Rocheleau Staff Reporter Annie Kozlowski doesn’t often visit Mount Pleasant’s downtown district.

The Mount Pleasant senior said she doesn’t believe there is much to do, and when there is she often doesn’t hear about those events in time.

“I’ve lived here my entire life and I don’t hear about things going on downtown until the day of (the event), when I’ve already made plans,” she said. “There really isn’t a lot for college students to do there.”

Many of her friends who also attend Central Michigan University don’t venture to the downtown district unless it’s to find one of the many bars in the area.

“I know a lot of people that go down there at night to go to the bars, but not a lot of people who go during the day, to the shops and places like that,” Kozlowski said.

With restaurants, shops and grocery stores located both on CMU’s campus and on Mission Street, few significant efforts have been made to get college students to explore the eight blocks to the downtown district.

“There are a lot of shops downtown that are more expensive,” Kozlowski said. “We all know that college students are poor, so a lot of people can’t afford to shop down there.”

It is not uncommon for downtown districts of college towns to battle for students’ free time and dollars. Yet some cities like Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor have downtowns with stores and restaurants that attract university students.

Michelle Sponseller, the city’s director of downtown development, said her department doesn’t have the budget to advertise toward any certain group, college students included.

“I don’t have a separate budget to market specifically to college students. When I’m doing marketing for an event I think about what will have the widest audience that would be interested in that event,” Sponseller said.

Sponseller said the department only has money to spend on marketing events, instead of

any specific downtown businesses or locations, limiting the number of different groups that can be specifically marketed.

Last month’s Christmas celebration is an example, she said. The event, which hosted musicians, Christmas carolers and other attractions downtown on Dec. 5 and 6., was given a marketing budget of $2,000. Half of that budget was spent on fliers distributed to businesses.

“However, by the time we were done with the paper we had [spent] $1,000. (That) is not a lot for a marketing budget,” Sponseller said.

“In a perfect world, we would have the money to market different things not only to students but to a much wider audience, but unfortunately budgets are very tight and we just don’t have that ability,” Sponseller said.

Written by Sponseller, a summery of plans to improve downtown within the next five years offers multiple ideas meant to increase foot traffic downtown. A $10,000 study planned for this year will determine where additional lights should be included downtown.

The lighting changes are scheduled for implementation in 2017 and 2019 with a price tag of $200,000.

Sponseller did mention one aspect of the downtown section she said college students flock to.

“From Thursday to Saturday after 9 p.m., Mount Pleasant has an active nightlife,” she said.

The Bird Bar & Grill is widely considered to be a large component of that nightlife. Ben and Stacey Breidenstein, general managers of the downtown staple, acknowledge CMU students are a large part of that success.

“There are a lot of specialty shops [downtown] that aren’t directed at college students,” Stacey said.

Adjusting to an increase of students in need of advising during the spring 2015 semester, the Office of Academic Advising is making the best of its limited time.

Executive Director Michelle Howard calls the strategy “Express Advising.” Each student appointment will be 15 minutes.

Although this semester isn’t as busy as the fall scheduling period — during which Howard’s office alone saw 5,000 students — the Office of Academic Advising will be running at full strength this month.

The ratio of students to advisors is 1 to 600-700 at CMU. This is more than double the National Academic Advising Association recommendation of 1 advisor to every 300 students.

Howard said her department recognizes that students require advising on a caseby-case basis and individual students have different needs.

General academic advising is provided to students who have not signed a major at each of the success centers on campus.

CMED finalist hopes for expansion

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

Expanding the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center by helping serve rural areas in Pennsylvania, James M. Herman said his career has been developing him to be the dean of a College of Medicine.

One of four finalists to replace founding dean Ernest Yoder as leader of Central Michigan University’s, Herman is the associate dean of primary care and primary care research at Hershey.

CMED has inducted two classes and will accept its third class after April 30. The next dean will have to finish the curriculum for fourth year students as well as develop and maintain key relationships with practices in Michigan.

He graduated from John Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1978. He also was a family physician for more than 20 years.

During a campus forum, Herman met with CMED officials Wednesday Jan. 14 in the Health Professions Building.

Herman joined Penn State College of Medicine as a Hershey Medical Center company professor and chair of family and community medicine in 1991. He joined the college when it was under stress with only seven physicians and one struggling practice.

After implementing a collaborative approach with hospitals, the opportunity to expand was presented to the college. The college now has 80 physicians and w CMED | 2

“The future really depends on the collaboration of colleges, social sciences in economic and engineering,” Herman said. “A new medical school really needs to understand that collaborative research is the way to go.”

CMED’s mission is to provide health care to underserved areas in Michigan.

Herman said this appealed to him because Penn State had a similar mission.

“Penn State was the first to divide the state of Pennsylvania into seven counties to provide healthcare in those rural areas,” Herman said.

The response is each graduate student that finishes (his or her) residency is worth about $2 million to the economy,” Herman said. “The convenience aspect of it, bringing healthcare more close to home. Also the research and crossover of business’, all the materials they provide us.”

Personal comfort room open in UC

Provides privacy for students, faculty

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

In the midst of busy schedules, work and class projects, a room exists where students can escape the crowded atmosphere for some muchneeded privacy.

Last semester, the Bovee University Center opened a personal comfort room to meet the expanding needs of students, faculty and staff on campus.

“We hope to provide a space for people to use for reflection, prayer, breastfeeding or meditation when they cannot travel off campus or go home between classes or meetings,” said Mandee Matzke,

assistant director of Events and Conference Services.

The room can be reserved at the UC info desk for no cost on a first-comefirst-serve basis. A valid ID must be provided and is held as collateral until the key is returned.

There is a 45-minute limit placed on the room. Matzke said the room is reserved at least 10 times a day for a variety of uses on the third floor of the UC. “The process has been successful and I think the growing awareness of the room will be a good resource for university administrators on expanding the initiative to other buildings on campus,” Matzke said.

Matzke hopes the space provides a safe place for students, staff and faculty that is not provided elsewhere on campus.

Grand Haven freshman Dimitra Niotis said the room gives her a place where she can reflect.

“I think it’s important because everyone deserves a place where they do what they need to do but not everyone has the opportunity to in their place of residence or are too busy,” Niotis said. “It’s nice that this room welcomes the opportunity to have that time to yourself.”

Claudia Douglass, vice provost of Academic Effectiveness, said because the room is located centrally on campus it will be very effective for those who need personal space or privacy.

“The room will be able to be locked because if you are pumping or nursing or if you really want individual privacy,” Douglass said. “If it’s prayer, you can go check out the key and leave the room unlocked and people of a variety of different beliefs can be in the same room at the same time and be quiet and respectful.”

Cal Seelye, director of Events and Conference Services, said regardless of needs, the personal comfort room is a great asset for students.

“I believe the room is important because it provides students and staff members a place for a quiet sanctuary,” Seelye said. “Whether they are seeking prayer, meditation or simple reflection, this space provides a quiet, off-the-beaten path place for such opportunities.”

This Week in CMU history

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Imagine a freshwater lake twice the size of London. It’s full of more than 40 species of mollusks, yet the water quality is so poor that researchers can’t even touch it.

Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, China was the destination last month for a research group from Central Michigan University.

The trip was part of an initiative by the Institute for Great Lakes Research and China reaching out to Central Michigan University for help.

Daelyn Woolnough, assistant biology professor, has been studying mollusks in the Great Lakes and traveled to China to give presentations to Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang University and Beijing Capital Normal University. Poyang Lake is highly influenced by water levels and extreme levels of nutrients, but is understudied.

That’s where CMU’s biology and geography experts come in.

“The neat thing about the presentations was the audience,” Woolnough said. “I was really struck at how interested they were even though their first language is not English. They were very interested in our data from the Great Lakes and how that could parallel with the research they are doing there.”

Along with the research side of the trip, there were also discussions of academic exchange between the universities. Four students from Nanchang have studied at the Central Michigan Biological Station on Beaver Island and faculty hopes to send graduate students from CMU to China.

Student artists have the opportunity to enter their work for the annual juried Central Michigan University art exhibition presented by the University Art Gallery.

Each piece entered will be judged by an art professional outside of CMU. The pieces will have the opportunity to win a $200 grand prize, two juror prizes of $100 or 4-5 merit awards of $50. There is also the possibility of a purchase award—a spectator purchasing one of the pieces.

Students interested in entering can fill out a form at the University Art Gallery and pay an entry fee of $5.

Work and entry forms are due Feb. 16-17 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The exhibit will take place Feb. 27- March 28 in the Main and West Gallery, with a reception at 2 p.m. on Feb. 28 in the Main and West Gallery. Entry is open to all CMU students.

Residence halls were given the vote on alcohol use

Courtesy Photo | Daelyn Woolnough Faculty researchers and graduate students from CMU meet with researchers at Nanchang University in China.

“We’ve had a few graduate students come with us on visits but never had a formal exchange with the university,” Woolnough said.

“Dr. Xiaoguang Wang who also went to China is working with Dr. Dave Patton to organize a possible study abroad opportunity. There is so much potential for collaboration, it’s very exciting.”

Trevor Hewitt, a graduate student and assistant of Dave Zanatta, associate professor of biology, accompanied faculty on the trip.

Hewitt has studied abroad in Costa Rica but had never been to China.

“It was really different being there, but I jumped right into it,” Hewitt said. “I study freshwater ecology and how DNA can be used as a tool in ecology. I was honored to be involved in this research trip and it was really interesting to see all the different and unique species we don’t have here in North America.”

The fieldwork was done in a river that cuts straight through the city. The river has a diversity of native freshwater mussels de-

spite its large nutrient input, and researchers are trying to figure out why that is.

There is also a type of snail in the rivers and lakes that carry a disease called Schistosomiasis, and faculty at CMU may be able to collaborate with faculty at Jiangxi to identify the snails.

Despite research opportunity, no one is able to go into the water without high waders and gloves.

“It challenges us because we can’t just go out and dig for these things,” Woolnough said. “There are a lot of fishermen in the area with very large nets and the neat thing was that they were looking for snails, but with those snails came the possibility of finding the mussels we were trying to identify. It was really cool to be able to work with them and see if they could find anything that was useful to us.”

While the group performed the study, they found a species called “The Golden Mussel.” This type of mussel is even smaller than the known Zebra Mussel and gets into

smaller crevices.

Along with the Golden Mussel, many species were found that researchers were not familiar with, such as ones with different grooves, patterns and bends.

“The organisms were so unique.

It’s amazing how they are related to those in the Great Lakes,” Woolnough said. “They had bumps and curves that I’ve only really seen in pictures or in a museum. Seeing it all was like crossing something off of my biology bucket list.”

Zanatta also studies freshwater mollusks. Although he has been to China before, he went on this trip to work on restoration of the Poyang Lake and collaborate at Nanchang finding new genetic markers for freshwater mollusks.

“The trip was such a unique experience because the language and culture is so different,” Zanatta said. “It’s really exciting that Central is investing in these opportunities and that the faculty at these Chinese universities are interested in working with us because of our knowledge of the Great Lakes.”

On Jan. 17, 1972, Central Michigan Life reported a policy change allowing students to consume alcohol in residence halls that was passed at a Board of Trustees meeting.

With the change of this policy, each residence hall was permitted to vote as a whole on whether or not they would like to adopt new Central Michigan University regulations. An affirmative 75 percent would be need to permit consumption of alcohol in that specific hall.

The proposal of the policy came after Michigan’s new Age of Majority legislation, which lowered the drinking age to 18 on Jan. 1, 1972.

According to the story, the Residence Hall Assembly believed residence halls should move toward a more natural living situation, following a more realistic attitude toward student behavior.

The drinking age was raised to 21 in 1978.

Michigan was the first state to raise the drinking age after lowering it.

EDITORIAL | Global Campus could lessen impact of dropping enrollment

Insult to injury Jacob Kahn Columnist

World-wide impact Central Michigan University’s Global Campus provides 7,211 students with online classes.

In his State of the University Address in October, President George Ross said he wants to increase that number to at least 10,000 by the year 2020.

We applaud Ross for focusing his efforts on the growth of the awardwinning program, which was ranked 13th in the nation for its online bachelor programs and fifth for its online graduate education programs by U.S. News this year.

CMU offered its first online course in 1994. Online enrollment has fluctuated ever since, down from the record 7,535 in 2005 but up from its decade low of 6,913 in 2009.

Students and administrators may ask, why put resources into a part of CMU that isn’t on the physical campus? Michigan is facing a decline of both high school graduates and enrolling college freshmen over the next decade. CMU needs a plan to compensate for this loss of students.

CMU’s status as the fourth largest university in the state, according to Forbes Magazine, is in part due to its Global Campus enrollment.

Other universities in the state will face the same challenge to maintain enrollment, but they will be following CMU’s lead. We already have highly-ranked online programs thanks to the Global Campus.

A brush with Ben Bradlee T.R. Shaw Jr. Guest Columnist

News of the death of Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee is a loss to the world of journalism.

Bradlee was an icon in the newspaper business and played a significant role in the history of our nation as he oversaw the development of the Watergate Scandal story, which brought down President Richard M. Nixon in 1974, elevating Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford to the presidency.

In March 1979, I was a freshman at Central Michigan University pursuing journalism. I was a writer for Central Michigan Life, and found a calling in journalism. A few years earlier, the Watergate Scandal elevated the status of journalists, making folk heroes of Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. Much of the credit for their work also rested with their executive editor, Bradlee, who oversaw all their activity and guided

them through that historic time.

At the time, Bradlee was the largest figure in the newspaper world and he was coming to speak at CMU. Through luck and timing I was asked by University Events if I’d like to pick Bradlee up at the airport in Midland. I jumped at the opportunity and was given a university car and his schedule. By default I became his driver and personal escort during his visit, getting him to all his engagements, both professional and social. What an opportunity that was!

Since I was a journalism student, they later asked me to go ahead and introduce him at his speech to a crowded Warriner Hall. It became my first true speaking opportunity in front of thousands of people.

One thing you have to remember about the Watergate era is that it all happened pre-Internet. Reporters’ tools were notepads, typewriters and the telephone. Likewise, when I went to research Benjamin Crowinshield Bradlee, the only resource I could find at the CMU Library in 1979 was a “Who’s Who” and Bradlee’s

grams internationally.

To ignore a faction of the university so vital to its health and future survival would be nearsighted. To put time and dollars into a campus that less and less high school seniors plan on coming to would be equally misguided.

Just because fewer millennials are showing interest in physically attending college does not mean fewer people are seeking an education.

Any number of personal or familyrelated reasons could keep potential students in their hometowns. Global Campus allows students, young and old, to learn from the comfort of their own homes.

Not only does the Global Campus provide CMU with a potential solution to chronically declining

enrollment, but it can be a boon to on-campus students as well.

While a CMU student will pay $2 less per credit hour for a class taught on-campus rather than through the Global Campus, online courses have their advantages.

Substituting an online course for one taught on-campus can sometimes make or break a student’s schedule. Balancing classes, employment and extracurricular or clubs sometimes necessitates taking a course or two online.

No matter the reason for taking an online class, students should feel confident in their highly-ranked Global Campus and its ability to keep CMU afloat in the midst of a statewide student decline.

book “Conversations with Kennedy.”

Bradlee became very close personal friends with John F. Kennedy, a rarity in the journalism world in those days.

The library also had a copy of, “Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye,” a memoir of Kennedy written by his closest friends and advisors where Bradlee was mentioned. Needless to say, I couldn’t put my hands on a lot of information about Bradlee like we can today, much in the same way Woodward and Bernstein had to work hard to find information.

I learned enough about him to carry on an intelligent conversation in the car, but as a true journalist he asked me more questions than I asked him.

We talked a lot about CMU and the school’s journalism program. He was a pretty down-to-earth guy for being on top of the communications world.

While taking him around campus and visiting the journalism classes he repeatedly urged aspiring journalists to “learn Chinese.” He was a visionary and ahead of his time when it came to seeing the rising impact of China on the entire world.

His speech at Warriner Hall was promoted as “To Print…or Not to Print.” His signed poster still hangs in my office. Much of his discussion

focused on the media’s dilemma of releasing stories and information that could be damaging to our nation and national security. In those preInternet days, organizations like the Washington Post and major networks took their role as “gatekeepers” of information seriously.

The topic of his speech concerned a Midwest newspaper which obtained information that was previously classified on “How to build a Bomb” and lamented on whether or not to publish it. This opened a debate in the media about their role as gatekeepers and what was “fit to print.” The New York Times banner motto for many years was “All the News that’s Fit to Print.” It was a heady discussion the internet later made moot, but at the time was an ethical conundrum in the publishing business.

Honesty, accuracy, integrity and relevance was a concern for editors before the Internet. Those values still exist today, but the Internet has added the dimension of speed in reporting and oftentimes speed trumps accuracy.

That’s a topic for another column.

Following any of Bradlee’s speeches the questions and answers always circled back to Watergate. The inevitable

Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, compared Obama to Hitler on Tuesday, arguing that, “Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris.” Weber’s remark was as offensive if not more so than the President’s failure to attend the march.

Sunday’s snafu was yet another example in a long list of Obama’s tactlessness. In 2009 he gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod, conveniently pre-loaded with photos of his inauguration as well as audio recordings of several of his speeches. Following that fiasco, the President was overheard snickering with France’s Nicolas Sarkozy about another world leader, saying, “You’re fed up with him (Israel’s prime minister), but I have to deal with him more than you do!”

Suffice to say the man is a public relation manager’s nightmare.

Americans expressed outrage at their feckless President’s failure to attend, or even dispatch a high-ranking official, to France’s march. Making headlines Tuesday, one voice of disapproval rose above the chorus.

Evidently Weber was trying to place first in the radical Republicans’ ongoing competition to see who can swallow more of their own foot. Until Tuesday the crown was held by former Missouri Representative Todd Akin, who in 2012 explained the difference between rape and, “legitimate rape.”

It appears Weber is vying hard for first place by marginalizing the behavior of the man responsible for the most infamous Holocaust in the history of humankind. Of course Obama’s latest political blunder is offensive, but Weber’s remark is far worse.

In an age of Holocaust denial and the continued persecution of minorities across the globe, comparing a political faux-pas to the actions of a man responsible for the extermination of millions of people is far more offensive than missing a march.

Weber went on to describe Obama’s mistake as “just appalling,” which is the best way to describe his own thoughtless response. question arises on the identity of Deep Throat, the key source of the entire Watergate Scandal. (It was ultimately revealed that Mark Felt, a former deputy director of the FBI admitted to being Deep Throat a few days before his death in 2008.)

Sure enough that evening in 1979, a question was asked about the identity of Deep Throat. Bradlee was a master at responding to that question.

He stated “I’m sorry, but the identity of Deep Throat will have to remain Washington’s best kept secret.” The questioner then followed up and asked “Can you tell us anything about him?”

Bradlee simply responded “Him?” The audience roared. He thanked the audience, gracefully stepped away from the podium and the event ended.

Life in BRIEF

Five CMED students to live in Saginaw Mansion Five medical students will have the opportunity to live in a Saginaw historic mansion next fall.

The mansion is the birth place of Saginaw’s Pit and Balcony Theatre.

Zoning officials in Saginaw will allow five, unrelated, third or fourth year students to live in an area zoned for singlefamily homes.

The 4,355-square-foot, seven bedroom, Saginaw

mansion is owned by Dick Garber. The businessman plans to donate the mansion to St. Mary’s Hospital of Michigan in order to ensure it’s place in Saginaw.

St. Mary’s will set up a scholarship with CMED that allows them to host five students in the mansion for the upcoming fall semester. Students eligible for the scholarship must receive their

instruction at St. Mary’s or Covent Medical center while living at the home.

Neighbors who wanted the house to remain a single-family home signed a petition to stop the plans late last year. The zoning variance comes with conditions approved by residents of the neighborhood.

Michigan drops act for sat high school assessment

Abbie Robinson | Staff photographer Each residence hall has placed a sticker with Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates information on each individual room’s door.

The ACT is no longer the State of Michigan’s required high school assessment. Instead, SAT will become the new standardized high school assessment in 2016.

The Michigan Department of Education announced the three-year, $17.1-million, contract last Wednesday. A Joint Evaluation Committee scored a proposal from SAT producer, College Board, higher and $15 million cheaper, over a three-yearperiod, than the ACT. The announcement brings an end to the ACT’s tenure as the state’s standardized exam, which began in 2007 when it replaced the MEAP exam.

All is not lost for the ACT, however. A threeyear, $12.2 million, contract ensures the ACT WorkKeys examination, which assesses workplace readiness skills, will continue to be distributed in Michigan high schools.

Both ACT and SAT scores are accepted by Michigan colleges. However, each exam is structured, timed, and scored differently. For example, the ACT has four sections, one optional writing section and is scored from zero to 36.

Whereas, the SAT has 10 sections, a mandatory writing section and no science assessment portion. Scores range from 200 to 800.

The ACT has appealed last week’s decision to make the SAT the state’s standardized high school assessment, calling College Board’s bid, “Improper.”

SGA to help with student tax forms

Academic senate discusses online exams

By Zahra Ahmad News editor

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Student Government officials are establishing a free-to-use tax website for students to provide help during tax season.

Chuck Mahone, president of SGA, said the tax website would be in partner with the Honors Accounting fraternity, Beta Alpha Psi. Members of the fraternity who are IRS certified will help students fill out their tax forms.

Mariah Urueta, vice president of SGA, said the website would also come equipped with tax software from H&R Block.

“If a student were to run into a problem or get stuck on a process, they could be talked to by a certified professional and helped through (filing taxes),” she said.

File Photo Mariah Urueta, vice president of the Student Government Association, speaks at an SGA meeting.

The website also will be available in “multiple lanuguages,” according to Urueta, in order to include non-English speakers.

What sold SGA on creating a website rather than having in-person tax assistance, Ureta said, was the necessity to be available to all students despite scheduling constraints. “(SGA) was debating on whether in-person would be better because you get that one-on-one assistance, but the reality is that because we would have to rent out a lab, the hours would be very limited,” Mahone said. “By

taking it to the online realm, (tax help) would be 24 hours which would allow us to help students in any way, shape or form.”

A help line for the website will be established, with hours set from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

While a URL for the website is unavailable as of now, Mahone said it should launch in February, just before the start of tax season.

Alongside establishing the website, Mahone and Urueta also revealed plans for a charity color run this coming April. The charity Angel Wings is being considered to be this year’s recipient of the

Professor to conduct studies on muscle pain and flesh wounds

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University health professions professor Blaine Long will conduct two studies on the treatment of muscle pain and flesh wounds this semester.

Long’s first study employs an innovative rehabilitation method to treat something that often affects students carrying heavy backpack loads—myofascial trigger points. Muscle knots, as they are more commonly referred to, are lumps in the neck and shoulders that cause pain.

With the assistance of a CMU colleague, Kevin Miller, Long will focus his studies on post-acute care rehabilitation, which refers to medical treatment following the initial treatment of an injury or illness.

“The unfortunate fact about these trigger points is that they can be very debilitating and they can be found in most people; especially college students who often have bad posture as a result of excessive backpack loads and improper backpack carrying,” Long said.

Long said his study will use an innovative Electric Point Stimulator designed to locate and treat myofascial trigger points.

When a trigger point is located, the EPS will make a sound alerting the investigator to send a small electrical pulse to the afflicted area.

The procedure is simple and non-evasive.

Long’s second study will compare the traditional method of treating flesh wounds and abrasions with the use of Low Level Light Therapy. The Low Level Light therapeutic approach is a new method of

funds raised.

“The foundation is related to Damon Brown, the Director of Student Activities and Involvement,” Mahone said. “It will be great support for him, great support for the organization, and just something that we want to get behind.”

The charity, created in memory of Brown’s wife, who passed away from cancer last year is dedicated to raising scholarship money for children who have had a parent pass away due to cancer.

This semester’s first SGA meeting will take place the Monday after MLK Day on Jan. 26.

Global Campus will soon be offering students a new way to take final exams, without having to leave the house.

At the Academic Senate’s first meeting of the spring semester, Peter Ross, vice president of Central Michigan University’s Global Campus, explained the new testing method for students enrolled online.

Now most Global Campus students taking final exams must be proctored. Global Campus hopes to have the program ready to launch in the summer.

When using the new program, a student opens his or her exam, the computer will lock up, making sure no other tabs or sources are available during the test. The student also will be unable to take a screen shot, print or access any other tabs.

The student must also have a webcam. The webcam will be activated to make sure the student doesn’t have outside

help while taking the exam.

There has been one trial of the program in the fall semester, another trial will take place in the spring semester.

“This new test-taking system is hard to implement right now because many students don’t have webcams,” Ross said.

CMU’s Global Campus is in the national top 10 percent for online education.

In a Oct. 16 budget priorities meeting, a projected decline in the state’s high school enrollment is expected to be the university’s biggest enrollment challenge. Steven Johnson, vice president of Enrollment and Student Services, said even though CMU’s entering freshmen enrollment increased this year, it is projected to decline.

Online classes are offered for eight-week periods instead of 16-week semesters.

“Roughly 25 percent of undergraduate on-campus students will enroll in an online class,” Ross said.

CMU has set a goal of 10,000 Global Campus students by 2020.

treating skin abrasions.

“LLLT is effective in the facilitation of wound contractions of partial-thickness wounds, promotes tissue healing by facilitating collagen synthesis, increases motility of keratinocytes in the skin, and stimulates the release of growth factors responsible for skin regeneration,” Long said.

The study will compare the effectiveness of the therapy to occlusive dressings. Contrarily to non-occlusive dressings, occlusive dressings allow oxygen and other gases to pass through, but are resistant to water and bacteria. They are believed to promote healing and decrease infections better than non-occlusive dressings.

“It is thought that treating

a skin wound by cleansing it with water or saline, applying a topical antibiotic cream, and then covering the wound with a non-occlusive dressing or Band-Aid speeds the healing process. However, this is not true,” Long said.

Long said occlusive dressings are beneficial in the treatment of a superficial wound, however it is unclear as to whether they are a better treatment option as compared to LLLT. As of now, no CMU students are participating in either of Long’s studies.

According to Long, neither studies are grant funded. He has applied for a grant for the second study, which is currently pending.

Women’s coach Guevara gets 250th win

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

On Wednesday night, Central Michigan University women’s basketball’s coach reached an impressive milestone.

When the Chippewas defeated Miami University 60-54, Guevara earned her 250th career win and her 127th victory since coming to CMU. “It means I’ve been coaching a long time,” Guevara said. “I’ve been

privileged to coach really good players. I’ve had an opportunity to work with some very good assistant coaches. I’m just grateful.”

Guevara has been the head coach for the Chippewas since the 2007-2008 season. She quickly turned the program into a MidAmerican Conference contender, posting a winning season in seven of the eight years she has been in Mount Pleasant.

“She is very energetic all of the

time,” senior guard Crystal Bradford said. “She’s a little lady full of energy. She listens to her assistant coaches and I think that’s huge.”

Bradford said she admires Guevara’s courage.

“She not afraid to try different things,” Bradford said. “I don’t think she is stuck in her ways at all. What makes her unique is how personable she is. She can adapt to all personalities. She understands how to interact with everyone.”

The veteran coach has seen a lot of basketball over her years, and has learned a great deal throughout her career.

“I’ve always been a pretty intense coach, but now I think I tend to have a better balance in my (life) instead of just basketball,” Guevara said. “I take some time for me to understand the stresses of the job and how to relieve it.”

Coach Tom Borrelli speaks with his players after practice on Wednesday Jan. 7.

After more than two decades, Borrelli more than a coach to his players and staff

By Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

On a brisk winter evening along a highway stretching somewhere through the Midwest, a bus packed with Central Michigan University wrestlers is headed home.

The men belch, tease each other about former girlfriends and eventually fall asleep in their seats.

Long before the bus falls quiet, the CMU wrestlers decide a game of cards is the perfect way to pass

time on the roadtrip.

Surprisingly, when the players ask their head coach Tom Borrelli to join them, he refuses with a smile.

“I try to stay a little bit away from that kind of stuff,” Borrelli explained. “If you play cards with a guy, you can study him and get to know what he’s really like.”

In attempt to get the best out of his players, Borrelli makes sure to maintain a psychological edge.

“Wrestling is such a close and personal game,” he said. “You re-

ally get to know a kid’s personality.

You have to push them to the limit three or four times a week. You can do that so much more effectively if you stay distant a little bit.”

Effective is exactly what Borrelli has been during his two decades with CMU’s nationally-acclaimed program.

Claiming 13 Mid-American Conference titles, Borrelli has coached multiple wrestlers to AllAmerican honors in nine out of the past 10 seasons.

“He really is like a father figure to a lot of guys. I know he was for me.”

Ryan Cunningham, former CMU wrestler, assistant coach Borrelli’s most impressive stretch is 2002-12 is when the Chippewas won 11 consecutive MAC crowns.

“Even during that time, there were dips in our performance,”

Borrelli said. “Every four or five years you have to start over again regardless of success. I’ve been blessed with a number of talented w BORELLI | 8

Wrestling to take on No. 4 Missouri during conference road trip

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Maintaining focus will be key for Central Michigan University’s wrestling team (4-4, 3-0 in MidAmerican Conference) this weekend as the Chippewas head on a crucial roadtrip that will feature meets in back-to-back days.

CMU faces Southern Illinois University (3-11) at 8 p.m. on Friday, and the University of Missouri (13-0) at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Head Coach Tom Borrelli said this weekend’s road swing could be the most important of the season. “(The wrestlers) are probably all looking forward to Missouri on Saturday. We have to tell them we can’t have any let downs (on Friday),” Borrelli said.

Missouri is the No. 4 college wrestling team in the nation and is undefeated this year.

Here is what you need to know about each meet:

SIUE

The Cougars are young like CMU. Individual matchups in this meet will be closely contested. While SIUE is 3-11 overall, CMU cannot afford to overlook the Cougars.

“We’ll be able to gauge ourselves against a team who’s doing the same thing we are,” Borrelli said.

An important matchup for CMU will be against 174-pound SIUE junior Jake Residori, who is 15-8 overall this season and regarded as one of the nation’s top wrestlers.

So far this year, CMU redshirt freshman Jordan Ellingwood has wrestled in that weight class for the Chippewas and has experienced some success.

Missouri

CMU travels to Missouri for one

of the most anticipated meets of the season.

The U-M Tigers are 13-0 this season, and sit atop the MAC standings heading into the weekend.

Borrelli said this will be the ultimate test for his squad, which will have an opportunity to knock off some of the best individual wrestlers in the country while attempting to pull off an improbable upset.

“We can’t be tentative. We have to go out and make things happen,” Borrelli said.

Missouri senior Alan Waters currently ranks No. 2 in the country for the 125 pound weight class.

Drake Houdashelt, another senior, is ranked fifth in the 149-pound weight class.

In the Southern Scuffle tournament earlier this year, the Tigers placed second behind Penn State University, CMU placed 13th.

Watching former players and assistant coaches grow and take better jobs and opportunities is what has kept Borrelli optimistic and rejuvenated each year, he said.

Ryan Cunningham, a former wrestler at CMU under Borrelli and assistant coach on the team, said Borrelli’s legacy cannot be measured by mere conference titles or the athletic achievements of his players.

Borrelli’s presence inspires something much greater than wrestling.

“He really is like a father figure to a lot of guys,” Cunningham said. “I know he was for me. He just has a way of making it obvious that he really cares. The guys really appreciate that.”

When he is not preparing for the Chippewas next match or on the road recruiting in the offseason, Borrelli can be found in his office chatting with his family of players both past and present about school, life and the love of the sport they share.

“With social media, it’s

a lot easier to keep up with people than it used to be,” Borrelli said. “That’s probably the most rewarding part of this job … getting to see those guys go on to achieve great things.”

As season after season passes, the former Clemson Tiger has watched the sport he is fascinated with evolve and modernize.

“We change little things from year to year,” Borrelli said. “Every generation has different things that motivate them. You have to change with those things.

Technique and how you teach the game changes, too. I’ve had to adapt.”

During his four years with coach Borrelli, senior wrestler Mike Ottinger has

watched his coach adjust and connect with each one of his teammates.

“It’s really kind of hard to describe,” Ottinger says. “It’s almost like you wouldn’t ever understand if you weren’t one of his players. He really loves us. It’s all about that for him.”

Ottinger recalled Thanksgiving dinners and holiday bonding time at coach Borrelli’s house in Mount Pleasant.

“He makes that kind of stuff so much fun,” Ottinger said. “It’s crazy how close we’ve gotten … all of us really. He’s seen so many guys over his time here, but he still makes it special.

“He really can’t be replaced.”

A long winter has commenced in Mount Pleasant and coupled with classes, Central Michigan University students are looking to stay out of the cold and relieve some stress.

The staff at the Student Activity Center has the solution.

The spring semester of intramural sports are headlined by basketball and soccer and set to kick off on Sunday, Jan. 25.

Leagues will run from 4 to 11 p.m. on Sundays and from 6 to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Students have the opportunity to sign up for either league through Friday without a $10 late fee attached to the $75 team fee. There will be leagues offered for men, women, Greek Life and corecreation for all sports.

Assistant Director of Intramural Sports Scott George said those wanting to participate will need to have matching uniforms with a permanent number on the back of their jerseys.

Jerseys can be checked out at the SAC front desk if teams do not have their own. Basketball will be

played at the SAC courts while soccer will be played in the indoor gymnasium.

“It is very competitive in all our leagues,” George said.

“The unique thing about intramural sports is that you get a wide range of skill levels.”

Basketball will be played five-on-five for two 20 minute halves with unlimited substitutions.

George said the average number of members for each team ranges from eight to 10 athletes. There is a 3:2 women to men ratio for both basketball and soccer co-recreational leagues.

One of the unique things about the IM basketball league is its Unified Sports division, which will be played on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

The league partners CMU students with the Special Olympics of Michigan. CMU is one of the first organizations in the nation to offer such a partnership.

“We have a good relationship with the Special Olympics of Michigan office here,” George said. “Unified Sports is a trend that has been gaining a lot of steam with high schools and we really wanted to bring it to this campus. This is something we are proud of because it is inclusive. There

is a lot of joy and happiness and it really embodies what sports should be about.”

Dan Ekonen, Director of United Sports Initiatives, defines Unified Sports as “a fast-growing initiative that brings people with and without intellectual disabilities together on the same team to compete.”

He said his organization is thrilled to pair CMU students with SOMI athletes.

“For our athletes, it gives them a social outlet with people that have similar interests as them,” Ekonen said.

“Our athletes are able to come to a college campus, interact with the students here, play competitively with them and they are equal. Our athletes always want to know what event is next and how they can participate.”

Ben Wrubel, a sports and training intern at CMU, sees the difference Unified Sports makes in the lives of people involved in the league each year.

“Unified Sports gives CMU students a chance to give back to the community and realize that they can make a difference,” Wrubel said. “It is awesome to see the friendships made between the students and athletes.

Gymnastics to see first conference action this weekend

With high hopes and low scores so far, the Central Michigan University gymnastics team is attempting to finish its three meet home stand on a winning note.

CMU will faceoff with Seattle Pacific University and Mid-American Conference foe Eastern Michigan University at 7 p.m. on Saturday in McGuirk Arena.

With No. 1 in MAC on the beam, senior Taylor Noonan out indefinitely, the Chippewas underclassmen will be called upon to fill the void left by Noonan’s absence.

team performance against Temple University, scoring nearly 194.

The Chippewas have posted scores of 192.55 and 193.475 for final tallies in their last two matches.

The Eagles are led by redshirt senior Chantelle Loehne, who boasts a 9.85 on floor.

SPU lost their opener to national contender UC Davis, scoring 191.2 overall.

Sophomore all-around gymnast Kristi Hayashida leads the way for the Falcons with a score of 38.3 in that category. Hayashida has also been impressive on the balance beam, as she scored a 9.825 her first time around.

“I think were moving in the right direction,” coach Jerry Reighard said. “The concentration for a gymnast has to be a full minute and a half.

We have to readdress staying alert and staying in it.”

But CMU has had moments

of greatness so far this season.

Moraw has been consistent for the Chippewas in her routines, scoring two 9.8s in CMU’s Jan. 11 loss to Illinois University. MAC bars champion and senior Kylie Fagan scored a 9.9 in her opening meet against Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

Since losing Noonan, the Chippewas say staying focused is key.

Unlike many other MAC programs, CMU houses a gymnast who has scored well enough this season to qualify for a championship by last season’s standards.

The Chippewa bar rotation this season has the potential to set a program’s best.

Juniors Karlee Teet and Taylor Bolender are poised for a championship run on bars. Meanwhile, Fagan has the chance to win back-toback titles in that event.

Bradford is arguably the most successful player Guevara has coached. The Inkster native has claimed numerous CMU career records, and was named MAC Player of the Year last season.

“She has helped me by staying on me,” Bradford said.

“She’s helped me become a better person. She won’t let me get complacent. No matter how big the award gets,

the next day at practice she’s always on me and critiquing my game.”

Freshman Cassandra Breen is just getting to know Guevara, but said she appreciates the effort her newest coach puts in to making her a better player and person.

“Coach is very driven and she does a lot for the team,” Breen said. “She’s a great lady. You can talk to her about anything. If you have any problems she will work with you and she always has everybody’s best interest.”

Basketball lucky to have Davis Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

The question is no longer whether coach Keno Davis can build a contender out of the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team. The team is making huge strides this season with a 12-2 record and the second-highest scoring offense in the nation.

The question is how long CMU can hold onto the 2008 Associated Press College Basketball Coach of the Year.

Last time Davis had a successful season was in 20072008 during his first year as a head coach at Drake University. He took Drake to a 28-5 record and a NCAA tournament berth that year.

The next year, Davis took a coaching gig at Providence, a school in the now debunked Big East.

Fortunately, it seems like Davis has long term plans in Mount Pleasant.

CMU has seen its share of successful coaches.

Brian Kelly and Butch Jones turned Chippewas football into a MAC West powerhouse for a few seasons.

But then they moved on.

Kelly is now at Notre Dame, Jones at Tennessee.

The rebuild had to begin again.

CMU fans can only hope Davis has been swayed by a few other wildly successful coaches that have decided to keep their talents in Mount Pleasant.

Margo Jonker has 34 years under her belt and a .620 winning percentage as the CMU softball coach. CMU’s stadium is named after her.

Jerry Reighard has coached the gymnastics team for 29 seasons. They’re repeatedly a Top-25 team and appear to get better and better each season.

Steve Jaksa and Sue Guevara have already made names for themselves in baseball and women’s basketball, but haven’t taken the opportunity to get out of town.

Will Davis follow the same path?

“I don’t have a dream job or ending,” Davis said. “I just want to make sure that as I’m coaching. I really enjoy where I’m at and I really enjoy it here at Central Michigan.”

It’s taken some growing pains, but it’s easy to see Davis is the right fit for CMU. He talks about how next year will be the year the team really has potential. He recruits guys like Chris Fowler, Luke Meyer and DaRohn Scott. He dreams about packing McGuirk Arena for every game and creating an atmosphere that “would rival any school in the country.”

Davis has finally brought some excitement to the CMU men’s basketball program.

Let’s just hope CMU is his foundation, not his stepping stone.

Men’s basketball heads to Akron with confidence

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

Eight of the 12 Mid-American Conference men’s basketball teams are deadlocked at the top of the standings with a 2-1 conference record.

Two of those teams—Central Michigan University and Akron University—will face off on Saturday night at James A. Rhodes Arena, which claimed the third-largest average home crowd in the MAC earlier this season.

The Chippewas ended a sixgame losing streak to Miami (Ohio) Wednesday in dominant fashion, and will look to end a seven-game losing streak to the MAC East powerhouse.

“It seems like they’re good every year and wouldn’t expect it to be any different this year,” Head Coach Keno Davis said. “To get a win on the road in the conference is tough this year.”

McGuirk Arena hosted 2,724 people on Wednesday night.

Akron has already brought in over 28,000 total fans in its 10 games this season, second only

to Ohio and Toledo.

The Chippewas were not rattled in their MAC opener at Toledo, where the attendance was 4,584. Davis said that is a testament to the maturity of his squad.

“Even though you think of us as a veteran team with one senior and a lot of juniors, we still have a lot of youth,” Davis said. “I’d love to see the shooting display that we put on (Wednesday), but more so I’d like to see the effort and the drive be there each and every night even on the nights when the shooting is not as good.”

Akron has finished first or second in the MAC East the past three seasons.

The Chippewas are second in the country in scoring, but Davis believes the defensive improvements have made the biggest difference this year.

“The thing that is going well is the offense,” Davis said.

“The thing that has allowed us to be 12-2 is that we’ve gone from a poor defensive team to an average defensive team from last year to this year.”

Junior forward John

UP NEXT CMU @ Akron When: Saturday Time: 7 p.m.

Where: Akron, Ohio

Simons, the team’s leading rebounder, said the rebounding letdowns are one of the main aspects standing in the Chippewas’ way.

“We’ve lost a couple of games this year because of rebounding,” Simons said. “I think inside this gym, inside our locker room, we’ve always had high expectations and high goals for ourselves.”

CMU ranks sixth in the conference in scoring defense.

“I believe in all 18 of my teammates that we can sit down and get stops when we need them and rebound the ball,” said junior guard Rayshawn Simmons. “Sometimes we’re not as focused as we need to be, but I definitely believe in everybody.”

Women’s basketball heads to Ohio

Despite shooting troubles, women finding ways to claim wins in MAC

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

It is time to see what the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team is made of.

The Chippewas head to Ohio University for a 2 p.m. matchup against the Bobcats on Saturday.

OU comes into the matchup with one of the best starts the program has had in school history.

The Bobcats have posted a record of 12-3 overall and 3-1 in the Mid-American Conference.

Averaging 72.9 points per game, OU’s offense ranks second in the conference.

CMU coach Sue Guevara said the Bobcats are even more dangerous than their statistics show.

“OU is a really good offensive team,” Guevara said.

“They have two guards that can really shoot it. We are going to have to tweak our defense a little bit.”

The Bobcats are led by junior guard Kiyanna Black, who ranks sixth in the MAC with 15.2 points per game. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Quiera Lampkins is ranked in the top ten of the MAC with 13.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

Holding its opponents to 57.9 points per game, the Bobcats are defeating opposing teams by an average of 15 points.

“They do a really nice job defensively of packing it in, and forcing you to hit that outside jumper,” Guevara said. “I thought Northern Illinois was a pretty good defensive team, but watching OU on tape, they’re very

disciplined on defense.”

Patience on the offensive end is what Guevara said she has stressed to her team in practice this week.

“If we come down and up it goes, then we ae going to play right into their hands,” she said. “We will have to continue to work on getting our offensive efficiency going.”

A big key in the Bobcats early success this year has been due to their efficiency shooting the 3-point ball.

The Bobcats’ 35 percent from the 3-point line this season is well above the 27 percent they shot during the 2013-2014 campaign.

Lexie Baldwin is the player to watch for the Bobcats on the perimeter, as she is shooting a team-high 45 percent from long range.

Crystal Bradford, CMU’s senior guard, said she has

Breen is the future of women’s basketball Coming into the 2014-15 season, most of the spotlight has been given to the upperclassmen on the CMU women’s basketball team. Seniors Crystal Bradford and Jas’Mine Bracey do the brunt of the work needed to win games.

Given the injuries to Jessica Green and Jewel Cotton, other players have needed to step up.

While every player on the team has chipped in a little more, one freshman has taken a lead role in her first season with the Chippewas.

Freshman guard Cassandra Breen has made a big impact on the team during her opening season in a Chippewa uniform. She is the most impressive freshman on the team this year.

Breen became a starter for

Head Coach Sue Guevara after Cotton’s injury. She is averaging 22 minutes per game, more than double the minutes of any other freshman. Breen is also the only freshman to start a game this season.

Established herself as a 3-point shooting threat, Breen has hit 38 percent of her shots in her first 13 games. She is averaging 6.6 points per game and has proven she can hit big shot in big games.

Against Kentucky, she was 3-for-3 from long range, hitting one 3-pointer with 2:59 left in the game to cut the Wildcat’s lead to one score.

While Breen is a guard, she has also had an impact on the boards. Her 39 rebounds is more than any other freshman on the team.

One of Breen’s biggest

noticed the improvement in Ohio’s offensive game during her four years in Mount Pleasant.

“They pretty much have the same players from last year, but they are shooting the ball better than they were last year,” Bradford said. “They have a really good guard and they like to get up and go.”

A win on Saturday would put the Chippewas at 5-0 in the MAC, something freshman Cassandra Breen said would be a good confidence booster for the CMU women.

“I think it will just keep us rolling on this journey that we’re taking right now,” Breen said. “I think what we are really focused on is the MAC tournament and trying to get a good seed going into the tournament.”

Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

attributes is what she can do on defense.

She is a natural ball hawk who has constantly disrupted the flow of opposing teams.

Though a big percentage of her defensive work doesn’t show up on a score line, Breen has fought for 10 steals this season and has blocked three shots in the process.

She is quick to get back on defense, which has allowed her to take charge during key points during games.

As she gets more Division I minutes, Breen will improve and has the ability to become a leader for Chippewas teams of the future.

There is no doubt that there is plenty of talent in this season’s freshman class, but Breen has stood out and looks like she could be a future lynchpin of a program with so much history.

Head Coach Sue Guevara has built a 3-point shooting reputation during her time at Central Michigan University.

Guevara’s teams have repeatedly set program records for 3-point field goals and percentage since 2008.

Last season, the Chippewas shot 35 percent from beyond the arc. Three players hit more than 40 shots from long range, including 100 3-pointers from alumna Niki DiGuilio.

Seventeen games into the 2014-15 season, the Chippewas are hitting 29 percent of the threes they take.

Guevara’s confidence in her team’s shooting abilities has not wavered.

“I talked to our team about it and I don’t want to beat a dead horse,” Guevara said.

“We have good 3-point shooters. Right now they are just a little inconsistent. I still have all of the confidence in the world in them.”

Senior Kerby Tamm was pegged as the Chippewas’ main threat from deep coming into the season. She is shooting 32 percent so far.

“I just need to have no conscience coming onto the court,” Tamm said. “If you miss a shot, just know that the next one is going in.”

Tamm is accompanied on the 3-point line by freshman Cassandra Breen. The Woodhaven-native was a prolific shooter in high school, starting all four years and leading her team in 3-pointers.

“My role on the team is to get hustle plays,” Breen said.

“I’m trying to go the dirty work. I’ll take charges and get rebounds. I’ll do anything to help my team.”

The loss of senior point guard Jessica Green to injury has forced the Chippewas to adjust their long range attack.

Sarah White | Assistant Photo Editor Senior forward Lorreal Jones (2) avoids NIU defenders at McGuirk Arena, Saturday, Jan. 10. CMU defeated Northern Illinois (56-43).

“We do miss a little bit of an outside scoring threat without Jess,” Tamm said.

“Other people have stepped their game up and we are scoring more on the inside.”

CMU has managed to win despite the lack of their most historically successful gameplan. The Chippewas are 4-0 in conference play

with several wins coming from strong post and defensive play.

According to Guevara, this might be the way her team will have to win postseason games in March.

“We are digging deep and finding ways to win,” she said. “That’s just what we are going to have to do.”
