SPORTS Detroit Lions kicker Hanson to speak on campus Wednesday The Detroit Lions all-time leading scorer will be in Mount Pleasant on Wednesday night to speak to students. Jason Hanson will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the Football Team Meeting Room, presented by the CMU Fellowship of Christian Athletes. All are welcome to the event. Hanson was the kicker for the Detroit Lions from 1992-2012 and has 2,150 career points. Only Morten Andersen and Gary Anderson have more career points in NFL history. Hanson was the longesttenured Lion and set an NFL record for the most seasons with one team. The Lions selected the Washington State graduate in the second round of the 1992 NFL Draft, the season after Detroit’s last playoff victory. Hanson hit 21 of his 22 field goal attempts in the Lions 0-16 season in 2008. He made 82.4 percent of his field goal attempts in his career with a career long of 56 yards. In his final season, 2012, Hanson hit all 14 attempts inside the 40-yard line and scored 134 total points, the most of his career in a single season.

Bookstore addresses gift card abuse Students rack up $45,000 in gift card purchases for food, travel in 2014 By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

Cash strapped students used to be able to use the Central Michigan University Bookstore to charge entertainment expenses to their university accounts. By purchasing gift cards available at the bookstore through their CMU

accounts, students accumulated large sums for products ranging from Amazon and iTunes to Southwest Airlines tickets. It wasn’t until $45,000 was charged to student accounts in 2014, that bookstore officials decided to discontinue the service. Students charging inordinate amounts to their accounts for gift cards will have to pay back their

balance only a year after the service was introduced. Barry Waters, director of the CMU Bookstore, was troubled by the substantial charges to student accounts for gift card sales. Students were able to charge significant amounts to their accounts for things other typical bookstore purchases because items purchased are not specified on account statements. “You could buy a $500 Amazon gift card, and it shows up on the account as ‘bookstore,’ not ‘gift card,’” Waters said. In the 12 months that gift cards were available for purchase through

David Roden wears an old sweatshirt after his weight loss on Friday, Jan. 23 in Moore Hall.

In high school, Roden was pre-diabetic and had knee problems. Aside from the physical effects of being severely overweight, Roden said he felt like a complete failure. He was tired all the time and unhappy with himself. He even contemplated ending his life. “I hated who I was as a person,” Roden said. “I was always known as a happy, laughing person. Inside I really hated myself.” Throughout high school, Roden’s parents tried to motivate him to live a healthier lifestyle. His mother Karen said she was worried about his future. “His father and I were concerned about his long-term health,” Karen said. “We decided it was something David need to do on his own.” Roden’s mother was right. Until deciding to lose weight for himself, nothing worked. “For me, it’s not really about how you lose weight, it’s more why you want to lose weight,” he said. “That’s when it clicked.” In the last year-and-a-half, Roden’s life has changed significantly. While losing weight, he read anything he could get his hands on about health and motivation. Roden said he looks at his new habits as a lifestyle change as opposed to calling them a diet. “Diet has a negative connotation,” he said. “People hear the word and they think of all the w scale | 2

CORRECTIONS An article published Monday, Jan. 26 incorrectly reported that CMU’s boiler four was to be converted to steam. All four boilers in the powerhouse produce steam to heat water for campus use. The boiler mentioned was being coverted to burning natural gas. Also, boiler five produces 85,000 pounds of steam per hour, not 8,500. Boiler five is the main boiler, but boilers one and two operate during winter to meet campus heating demands. One and two are the boilers that are 54 years old, not boiler five. Central Michigan Life regrets these erros.

SGA offers students legal advice By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

For the fifth consecutive year, the Central Michigan University Student Government Association will partner with legal fraternity Phi Alpha Delta to offer free legal counseling to students. Although the legal clinic has been open since 2010, this will be the first full year that landlord and tenant legal counseling will be offered to students by the legal fraternity. SGA President Chuck Mahone said the idea for the newest addition to the clinic came to them when SGA noticed a large influx of advice seekers attended for counsel on renting houses and apartments. “When we had the legal clinic, one of the trends we were seeing was that when students were renting properties, they weren’t understanding their rights. They weren’t understanding what they can and can’t do,” he said. “(SGA) decided to make our own subsection of the legal clinic that focused solely and directly on that because we were getting such a high volume of students who had concerns about (tenants and landlords clinic).” Students suggested the addition of tenant and landlord counseling would be useful. Sparta senior Daniel Metivier said the clinic is overall “a good idea.” “Having (these) facilities could be a good step towards students educating themselves,” Metivier said. “Most students wouldn’t know where to start (with legal counseling) so that would at least give them a stepping stone.” Mahone described the newest subsection’s addition as being “pretty successful.” The most traffic for the clinic, he said, generally comes around Welcome Weekend and move-in days. “It’s basically a pro-bono legal clinic,” Mahone said. “Students can come in, tell us their problems, and if they don’t know how to proceed we can offer them legal advice.” From there, Mahone said students would be able to meet with attorneys Hope May, Gordon Bloem and William Sherley in order to discuss possible courses of action. Zach Diederichs, director of CMU SGA Legal Clinic, said students interested in meeting with a lawyer must first send an email through the Orgsync page and a representative would contact them for a meeting. “There is a formal way of setting up an appointment through the Orgsync legal clinic page,” Diederichs said. “If (students) give w LEGAL CLINIC | 6

One student used his account to buy five Southwest Airlines gift cards, which he promptly put to use after dropping out of the university. Parents who called the bookstore to inquire about charges were denied financial information because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which mandates that unless a student gives permission, the university cannot reveal details of a student’s finances, such as the specifics of charges to student accounts. “We are not allowed to disclose the nature of those charges unless the student has given their parents access to the account.,” Waters said.

ome bookstores don’t have an address or a physical location. Some Central Michigan University students browse aisles as easily as scrolling down a page. Facebook’s role in the lives of college students is continuing to evolve, becoming an alternative to purchasing textbooks at a campus bookstore. Textbook Exchange is an open group created by senior Andy Les Paul with over 1,700 members. Another group, CMU Book Exchange Swap, was created by senior Nick Erickson and is frequented by around 1,300 students. Both pages exist as a network for students to cut the bookstore’s profits out of the used book purchasing process by using the power of Facebook to exchange and sell among themselves. Alumna Tasia Bass, who graduated in December, previously used the CMU Bookstore preorder service before discovering she could save hundreds by renting and purchasing books from other students. “Between Facebook and Amazon, I saved $200 to $300,” Bass said. Bass graduated from CMU last fall with a B.S. in English Literature and a minor in Public Affairs, but that wasn’t always her plan. Students in art, mathematics and science courses often have limited alternatives because of online access codes and other non-textbook course materials, Bass said. “Having to buy books was half the reason I dropped my economics minor,” Bass said. She recommends buying books through Facebook, but Bass advised students to be careful to purchase the correct books, as different professors may use different editions.

Comment

Write a comment... Senior Benjamin McDonald, who is attending Kalamazoo Community College but plans to return to CMU in the fall, advises students to take advantage of the online opportunity. “Anybody that’s strapped for cash should definitely find students who are selling books,” he said. McDonald estimates he saved $200-$300 by purchasing used books from students and through

Amazon. He once found an algebra textbook, $102 in the bookstore, for only $10 on Amazon. Livonia Junior Josh Palmer rented his JRN 551: Case Studies in Public Relations textbook, normally $170 new and $116.75 used on Amazon, for free on Facebook. Farmington senior Kelly Potter responded to Palmer’s post asking for the textbook within five days, and now the PR

major is ready for JRN 551. “Every time I’ve (bought/rented a book on Facebook) it’s been easy,” Palmer said. “A lot of people from my major are on there looking to buy and sell books.” Palmer’s arrangement was made through the CMU-exclusive group Integrative Public Relations. This page is just one of many groups that are available for students of specific majors.

Man vs. Mountain race offers student discount By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Students willing to test their strength on a grueling, 5k off-road race can get a discount if they register before Jan. 30. Mount Pleasant is hosting its own version of a fun run like the “Warrior Dash” and “Tough Mudder” with a mid-Michigan twist. Stretching throughout downtown, the first “Man vs. Mountain” race will offer 5k fans a winter-based obstacle course including both man-made and natural obstructions. If students register by the end of the week, they can enter the code “CMUMVM” for $10 off the price of registration for the Feb. 7 race. The standard registration fee is $60. Registration closes Feb. 5. “The snow could be very slippery, and all other aspects of winter will be thrown into this race that make it exciting,” said Steve Hofer, interim director of the Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation department. Harsh cold and icy streets are only some of the obstacles participants face in the “Man vs. Mountain.” Aside from the elements, the race features a wall climb, tire trap, hills and trails. Even the most brawny participants might be tested with strenuous sections like the “Log Carry” and a hay bale hurdle. Creating a race from scratch was tough, Hofer said, but Parks and Recreation had help from the Mount Pleasant Conventions and Visitors Bureau, which also sponsor the event. Conceived by CVB employee Matt Young, “Man Vs. Mountain” was engineered as a way to get city residents active during winter months. Seeing

the popularity of intense obstaclebased races, Young and his co-workers thought they too could capitalize on the trend, said Chris Rowley, executive director the bureau. Young died in 2013. The race is a continuation of his work with the bureau, Rowley said. The bureau hosted a version of the race in 2012, but this year’s run is managed solely by the recreation department. Running “Man Vs. Mountain” is going to be an expensive venture, Hofer said. The race will end up costing the department $3,000. Sponsorship and registration fees will help Parks and Recreation make its money back. Participants must register for the race by Feb. 5. To register, visit the event’s webpage. Participants must be over 18 years old.

This week In History

Head coach hired for 1998 women’s soccer team On Jan. 28, 1998, Central Michigan Life reported on the hiring of a head coach for the new women’s soccer team. The decision was made to hire Mark Salisbury from the University of Missouri-Rolla. The article stated Salisbury would have the opportunity to build the team up from the bottom when it was scheduled to begin the next fall. The article added Salisbury would not do a lot of recruiting for the new team; he would instead start with the club team and go from there. Salisbury added that every girl who wanted a chance to play for the Chippewas would receive that opportunity. Salisbury worked at the University of Missouri-Rolla for three years as the men’s and women’s head soccer coach. While there, he turned a team that was coming off six straight losing seasons into a team that placed 24th in the country for Division II. CMU joined eight other teams in the Mid-American Conference for soccer in the next season. The new team played its season opener at Bowling Green against Robert Morris and Western Illinois. Its home opener was against Toledo. Andrea Peck, Staff Reporter

Let’s talk about sex

EDITORIAL | Students can Fire Up about basketball this season

A filled-to-the-rim McGuirk Arena cheers Saturday, Jan. 24 as the Chippewas hosted Eastern Michigan.

Comeback season fires up students, fans

entral Michigan University sports fans have two teams they can rally behind this semester. On Saturday, 4,041 fans made up the second-largest men’s basketball crowd in McGuirk Arena’s history, many of whom braved harsh winter conditions out of love for both CMU basketball teams—the

women lost in a heartbreaking 74-72 game against Akron.

This tremendous show of support showcases that CMU Athletics has always had the potential to engage the student body. The women’s basketball team has consistently been recognized as one of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference, while the men’s team is now statistically among the nation’s elite teams. We are proud of our men’s basketball team and how far it’s come. So far this season, the men remain undefeated at home. The Chippewas have lost only four of the 18 games they have played thus far, proving that a few poor seasons cannot derail an entire college bas-

ketball program, or its coach. Led by point guard Chris Fowler, forward John Simons and guard Braylon Rayson, the men have proved time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. Fowler is among the NCAA’s Top Ten in the country in assists. A game-changing start to the season has lit a fire in the hearts of fans hot enough to draw the largest crowd since 2010 to McGuirk Arena. Our basketball teams have given students a reason to fire up once again, and we should continue to support a rejuvenated winter sports culture.

Head Coach Keno Davis has made it a priority to connect with students and community members since his arrival to Mount Pleasant. It is evident in his comments to media that he believes a strong fan base is important in cultivating a successful team. Davis went as far as saying a raucous home crowd can be a difference-maker in a few games and “can be the difference between being a nice team and being a team that’s dancing in March.” We believe this year’s squad has the potential to claim a conference crowd this spring. CMU Athletics has scheduled

several men’s and women’s basketball games as double-headers this season, promoting an inclusive atmosphere that ought to attract fans of both teams. Sports fans have been given a second chance to channel their spirit in the men’s and women’s basketball teams. Not taking advantage of a group, indoor activity during the winter months that brings students and the community together in mutual celebration would be foolish. If our student athletes can keep up this momentum, students and community members may have a new sport to call their favorite.

Here’s a question: What is one major aspect of college life that Central Michigan Life is not currently addressing in any of its content? Sex. Let’s talk about it. Let’s not continue to ignore an aspect of social life that pertains to such a large portion of our student body. Central Michigan Life published a sex column in the past. One of my goals as the Voices Editor has been to bring it back. Whether you’re having it, saving it, wishing you had more of it or realizing you don’t know that much about it, sex is a topic that is relevant to all students in one way or another. This sex column, which will appear in the paper every other Wednesday, will first and foremost seek to educate. According to a 2009 study conducted by Guttmacher Institute, over half of men and a quarter of women surveyed aged 18 to 29 had inadequate knowledge about contraception. This statistic alone is enough to substantiate a call for more discussion and education when it comes to sex among young adults. Columns will first be based in research and fact before being expanded upon by our columnists. Contributions from Ashlea Phenicie, president and public relations chair of Voices for Planned Parenthood, and Lori Wangberg, health educator at Central Michigan University Health Services, will help make the content of this column that which you can rely on. Rather than a “Dear Abby” format, in which readers write to us for advice, this column will address a new topic each issue ranging from basic sex education and navigating sexual heath issues to relationship dynamics and large scale sexual issues in society. I hope this column challenges and intrigues you with its content. Promoting deeper thought on a subject is the purpose of any column. This one will be no different. Perhaps you’ve wondered if there might be a better way to navigate a long distance relationship, or you were intrigued by the discussion of sexual practices in foreign countries in one of your classes. These topics and more will be addressed by our writers and presented to you in a way that both academically informs and provokes further thought and consideration. To suggest potential topics for our sex column, email ideas to voices@cm-life.com

Siblings Weekend events to begin in Finch By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

To address the separation from family members when students are away at college, the office of Student Activities and Involvement will host its annual Siblings Weekend, starting at 3 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, and continuing through Feb. 1. In its 52nd year, Siblings Weekend will host events and activities in Finch Fieldhouse and the Student

Activity Center. On Friday, students can take their siblings for registration in Finch Fieldhouse starting at 3 p.m. to collect materials needed for the weekend. Beginning at 3 p.m. siblings will be able to enter the SAC for free and bowling will be available until 11 p.m. Starting at 5 p.m. laser tag will be offered in Finch. Other events offered on Friday include bingo in the SAC and open rock wall

climbing in Finch. That night’s “kick off ” event will feature ventriloquist and comedian Lynn Trefzger preforming at 7 p.m. in Plachta Auditorium. At 8 a.m. Saturday a pancake breakfast will be served in Finch. Throughout the day, siblings can participate in movies, a talent show and watch the CMU women’s basketball game as the Chippewas face Ohio at 1 p.m. in McGuirk Arena. There is also a talent show

Student Government Association President Chuck Mahone welcomes students back for the spring semester on Monday night in Anspach Hall.

Up to 70 new representatives could be joining the Student Government Association, after Monday’s meeting, according to SGA officials. The semester’s first meeting brought many new faces to SGA, said Membership Officer Teal Olson, though it’s too early for a complete headcount. “It’s really hard to say because a lot of new organizations haven’t figured out who their main (representative) is going to be,” Olson said. “Just from emails I have roughly 50 to 70 new members (attending).” Regardless of new or old membership status, all SGA members are still required to fill out the required membership applications each semester in order to be able to represent their RSOs at SGA meetings. Representatives vote on legislation and initiatives to pass through the SGA house to receive support and possible funding from the organization. “The membership form just gives (SGA) an idea who the main representative is,

taking place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Bovee University Center Student Lounge. The highlight of Saturday will be a carnival taking place in the SAC. The carnival will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. and will feature inflatables, games and crafts. During the last day, bowling will be available until 11 p.m. Late registration will be allowed until Friday. A full list of events is also available online.

A proposal to change the way students could earn academic certificates was voted down by the academic senate on Tuesday. The proposed change in wording in Central Michigan University’s curricular authority document was narrowly voted down with a 53 percent vote in favor of keeping the policy as it is. College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Associate Dean Timothy Hall proposed the change in wording in the amendment that could have created a more simple path for students to earn a certificate while pursuing a degree. Hall said they ran into a snag with the language when discussing some of the pitfalls students run into when they assume they can use the same credits needed to satisfy their majors, to count toward certificates as well. The CAD amendment, Appendix F, states “students cannot receive a certificate with the same name as their major, minor, concentration or option or due to the fact that the subset of courses is already on student’s major, minor, concentration or option.” Hall proposed the wording could be clarified by cut-

ting out “or due to the fact that the subset of courses is already on student’s major, minor, concentration or option,” which could potentially lessen students’ time spent at the university. “Concentrations on a degree are just an understanding in a field,” said CHSBS Dean Pamela Gates. “We are looking to see how to help students market their credentials when they leave, and having a certificate does that.” Several senators, including Provost Michael Gealt, raised concerns about the change during the dissection period, asking why the wording exists the way it does now. “If the change is approved, would this change the bulletin?” Gealt asked. Hall explained CHSBS would have to make seven different majors, with seven different concentrations, and seven different certificates to accommodate student demand. It would be far easier on the student to embed the certificates into the program. Hall was not at a loss after the meeting, instead feeling hopeful that something will change in the near future. “I suppose there is a silver lining to this,” he said. “We heard a lot of good ideas and options from the other senators. I guess we’ll wait and see.”

as well as the proxy who is in attendance that week,” Olson said. “Because we do have absences we have to know for the committees.” If individuals obtained a certain amount of absences, they could be disallowed from voting on important SGA legislation. Chuck Mahone, president of SGA, said membership forms this semester had become easier to fill out in an attempt to “try to make it as simple as possible,” to become a member. All organizations aiming to join SGA simply have to “want (a representative),” Mahone said, to be able to participate in SGA events and discussions. “They have to meet, create an executive board position (for SGA representative) throughout their organization, and then they have to elect someone to that,” Mahone said. “Then they just have to come to the

meeting, fill out our membership forms, and they’re a full-fledged member.” Vice President of SGA Mariah Urueta said that the benefits of electing an SGA representative to an RSO’s eBoard enabled student organizations to receive financial benefits and have a say in legislation passed. “Also (RSO’s) have a say in legislation that is brought forth in SGA and they are able to introduce legislation if they want,” Urueta said. “If (an) RSO ever wanted to do any kind of project or go on a conference, they cannot apply for SBAC—the Student Budget Allocation Committee—or any sort of SBAC funding unless they have an SGA representative.” Students and RSO’s interested in attending SGA are still able to be a part of the organization. SGA’s next meeting will be held at 8 p.m., Feb. 2 in Anspach Hall 162.

Global campus continues to meet needs of students across America By Adrian Hedden News Editor

Through continued expansion of its online programs and focusing on student needs throughout the country, Central Michigan University’s Global Campus brought $23.8 million in net revenue to the university last year. In 2014, Global Campus generated overall revenue of $62.9 million and delivered $23.8 million in net revenue to the university. Global Campus delivers online programs at 40 locations across the United States and Canada site, and online where CMU is licensed to deliver online programs. These are a combination of physical centers staffed by CMU employees and locations where CMU offers a cohort at a partner site. “Everything the campus prides itself on, we do at every center, at our home office and online,” said Carol Bale, director of Marketing for Global Campus. The top three undergraduate programs students enrolled in during 2014 were the major in administration and organizational administration with 636 students, psychology with 420 and integrated leadership studies with 243 students. Once students are admitted to Global Campus, Bale said a team of program administrators, new student

“Everything the campus prides itself on, we do at every center, at our home office and online.” Carol Bale, Director of Marketing for Global Campus services, call center representatives and advisers are charged with helping students through the enrollment process. “Life changes happen,” Bale said. “A lot of students started out on campus, but maybe their mom or dad lost their job and that campus student can no longer afford to live on campus. We don’t want to lose students just because they are no longer able to live on campus. If they’re moved to online, CMU still wins.” Global Campus aims to be relevant to both traditional college students, as well as working adults both military and civilian, with attractive programs, flexible schedules, condensed terms, online and face-to-face program options. Several Global Campus staff are located on military bases throughout the country. “Periodically, branches of the military do an educational needs assessment of their installation,” Bale

said. “When the base identifies a need, universities can respond to that need through a request for proposal process (RFP).” After the installations have reviewed the RFP’s and made evaluations, the installation tries to to maintain one provider for each educational program. CMU’s Global Campus currently offers its Master of Science in Administration degree at all bases plus civilian centers and online. In 2014, the MSA program saw 3,820 enrollments across all audiences. “The MSA degree offers the broadest range of concentrations,” Bale said. “It has the most appeal because of its range of concentrations. The program is portable. If it isn’t at the base a military student is transferred to, the student can finish the degree online.” A master’s degree often is required for military personnel to be promoted to an officer rank, Bale said. Top concentrations for the MSA degree in 2014 were human resource administration with 900 enrollments, general administration with 813 and leadership with 713 enrollments. CMU also offers its MBA, DHA, MPA and a number of education focused Master’s degree programs via Global Campus. To grow awareness for Global Campus and its pro-

FIGHTING FLU THE

Campus health care professionals offer advice to stay healthy during flu season

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

Forty-three states across the country are experiencing “widespread” flu activity according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Michigan is one of them. The CDC reported 9,926 laboratoryconfirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations across 13 states since Oct. 1, 2014. The

Get a flu shot. Deaton said he has given out about 1,000 shots this year—a 20 percent increase from last year. CMU’s Student Health Services actually took third place this year in a state-wide competition testing which university could administer the most flu vaccines. Deaton is happy, but not satisfied, considering 19,000 people on campus may or may not have a flu vaccination. Shots cost $30 at Student Health Services.

Michigan Department of Community Health confirmed the state’s first adolescent influenza fatality last Friday. An average flu season lasts 13 weeks and this season may even exceed that due to an early start. That is roughly 100 days of fighting a virus that is constantly mutating and changing. Because people generally spend more time indoors during the winter months, risks of getting the flu significantly in-

crease. College students are particularly in close proximity during the winter months putting them at even greater risk, said Dr. Michael Deaton, Director of University Health Services. “Think of a crew ship returning to port because a norovirus made the passengers sick,” Deaton said. “A lot of people living closely together, it’s the same thing that happens in dorm halls.” Director of Residence Life, Joan Schmidt,

Five tips to fight the flu

“Live healthy and lay off the alcohol and pot,” said head nurse Lora Zenz. She also suggested sleeping well, eating right and exercising to naturally combat illness. Alcohol and marijuana weaken the immune system by altering the way our cells respond to fighting viruses. So party in moderation this winter.

“The No. 1 answer is soap and water,” Deaton said. While hand-sanitizer may be sufficient, nothing beats a thorough hand washing. It is recommended to wash hands for 60 seconds, try singing the alphabet or birthday song.

said residence hall staffs do their best to warn students and educate them on illness prevention using posters and flyers, but ultimately it is the student’s responsibility to stay healthy. Deaton said a flair in flu cases has already impacted the Towers just before winter break. So how can students protect themselves this winter when classmates and roommates are dropping like flies?

“Keep your saliva to yourself,” Deaton said. This one is simple. Abiding by this rule might prevent flu, mono and many other viruses. Drinking off somebody else’s water bottle or spending all night swapping spit are excellent ways to contract an illness.

Be courteous with your germs. “If you’re sick, stay home,” Deaton said, which may be difficult for some people. Deaton also cleared the air about proper sneezing etiquette which will clear the air from germs. “Instead of sneezing into an open palm, then touching everything, sneeze into your arm sleeve,” Deaton said.

Want to see the world? Study abroad By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

Although the number of American students studying abroad has more than doubled in the past 15 years, less than 10 percent of students graduating with an associate or bachelor’s degree study abroad. Director of Study Abroad at Central Michigan University Dianne De Salvo said although amount of students from the United States studying abroad has increased, it’s still “pathetically low.” According to O pen Doors 2013, published in partnership with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, roughly 295,000 of American college students studied abroad in 2011-12 for credit and non-credit programs, up three percent from last year.

The Institute of International Education’s Generation Study Abroad initiative aims to double this number by the end of the decade. CMU was among the first schools to join the initiative and De Salvo said CMU’s partnership with Generation Study Abroad shows the university’s commitment to get more students studying abroad. Last year, about 3 percent of CMU students studied abroad. According to De Salvo, several factors could contribute to this number, such as cost, America’s distance from other nations, and the attitude that the United States is “the number one power” and people should want to come here. She said students need to make the decision to enhance their degrees through study abroad. De Salvo said ideally, the study abroad program will grow and

become part of the curriculum. For some departments, such as the foreign language department, study abroad is an important part of the curriculum. Frankenmuth senior Brittany Garcia spent a semester studying in Spain. The Spanish major said she benefitted from applying class learning to real-world experience. “I feel like the only way to truly learn a language is to be put directly in the middle of it,” Garcia said. She said her study abroad experience will show employers she is independent and has good problem-solving skills. According to De Salvo, studying abroad has helped students get jobs after graduating.

STUDY | continued from 7 them got a job within a year of finishing college. “I was at a presentation for a research company and they said, ‘if you have not studied abroad, don’t apply here because we do research with people in other countries and other cultures,’” De Salvo said. Though some students may have no intentions of working overseas, studying abroad still has its benefits. “You may be working on a project for a country outside the U.S. — you have to know how to deal with the country and the person,” De Salvo said. Garcia said knowing another language gives her an “extra edge.” “Personally, I like being able to communicate with more people. Being able to connect with people on that extra level, you can understand them in their own language,” she said. Though majoring in a language takes dedication, Spanish professor Alejandra Rengifo said having a major in another language “will open up doors.” “The fact that you learn another language makes you different. Unfortunately,

Americans have the reputation that they don’t want to learn another language, they think they’re better than everyone else, but the moment you go abroad and you speak the language, people immediately warm up to you,” Rengifo said. Both De Salvo and Rengifo said that it doesn’t matter what language students learn or which country they travel to. “The idea is that you understand that there are differences and you know how to notice them and you know how to work through them,” De Salvo said. “It’s not that we’re right and they’re wrong; there are just differences.” The Office of Study Abroad is located in Ronan Hall 330. Students can meet with a peer advisor to learn more.

Analysis

Who will it be? Head football coach search continues By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Nearly one week following the resignation of head football coach Dan Enos, rumors regarding who Central Michigan University’s next coach have been buzzing through social media feeds and wordof-mouth around campus and across the nation. Here is Central Michigan Life’s updated list of who has the best chance to be hired for CMU’s most important coaching position: 1. John Bonamego (Special Teams Coordinator, Detroit Lions)—According to Spartan Nation Magazine on Sunday night, CMU interviewed Bonamego during the weekend regarding the head coaching vacancy. Bonamego has worked his way up the coaching ladder starting at the University of Maine in 1998 as an assistant coach. He made his jump to the NFL in 1999 with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He served as the Jags’ assistant special teams coordinator until 2001. Bonamego has since served as the special teams coordinator for the Packers, Saints, Dolphins and Lions. He has been with Detroit since 2013. Most notably, Bonamego played football at CMU during the mid-1980s as a wide receiver and quarterback. 2. Zach Azzanni (Wide Receivers Coach, Tennessee)—Azzanni coached under Butch Jones at CMU as the wide receivers coordinator from 2007-2009. He also has an Urban Meyer connection. Azzanni was a graduate assistant at Bowling Green State University from 2001 to 2002 under Meyer. Azzanni followed Meyer to the University of Florida in 2010 as the Gators’ passing game coordinator. Also a CMU alum and Utica native, Azzanni appears to be one of the fa-

vorites for the job. However some reports on Monday suggested he is in the running for the offensive coordinator job at the University of Tennessee. 3. Tony Annese (Head Coach, Ferris State)— Since the 2012 season, Annese has been the head man in Big Rapids. Prior to coming to FSU, Annese had three impressive seasons as head coach at Grand Rapids Community College. In his first season at FSU, Annese led the program to a 7-4 record while Ferris ranked among the top schools in the nation in rushing offense and total offense. In that same season, Annese was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. Last season he led the Bulldogs to a 11-1 record. Annese is a member of the

Michigan High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame and was 195-41 in 22 seasons as a high school head coach in Michigan. 4. Matt LaFleur (Quarterbacks Coach, Notre Dame)—This is the hometown guy. LaFleur played quarterback at Mount Pleasant High School. His father, Denny, served as an assistant coach at CMU. Before joining the Fighting Irish in 2014, LaFleur worked with the Houston Texans as an offensive assistant (20082009) and quarterbacks coach with the Washington Redskins (2010-2013). LaFleur’s first major coaching job was as an offensive assistant with Saginaw Valley State University in 2003. 5. Brady Hoke (Former Head Coach, Michigan)— For the past four seasons

He served as the wide receivers coach at Michigan for four seasons (1990-1993). The Wolverines reached four bowl games under his tenure, which included two Rose Bowl berths. He has also made stops at Southern Illinois, Tulsa, Indiana, Western Kentucky and Cincinnati where he coached wide receivers. From 2002-2009 Weist worked various jobs while on Western Kentucky’s staff including coaching wide receivers and running backs. He was the Hilltoppers offensive coordinator for seven seasons (2000-2006).

The Tigers wanted Max Scherzer. But Scherzer didn’t want Detroit. Last March, Scherzer turned down a seven-year, $160 million offer from the Tigers. He knew he was worth more. He wanted his 2014 season to do all the talking. He promised no contract negotiations with Detroit during the season, frustrating many fans in the Motor City. Most knew what was next—Scherzer would be wearing a different uniform come 2015. On Dec. 11, Tigers General Manager and President Dave Dombrowski said, “I guess anything can happen but we’re not in active pursuit of that situation at this time.” Dombrowski never wavered from that stance with Scherzer. The Washington Nationals offered him a seven-year, $210 million offer on Jan 18. Scherzer jumped at it. Detroit made the right call by not signing their most dominant pitcher last summer. Trying to build for the future means saving money for other pieces to add to a winning puzzle. The best players require top dollar, but as an organization looking to win for many years, you have to weigh the positives and negatives of a contract the size of Scherzer’s deal with Washington. It’s not smart. More money for Scherzer means less flexibility with other players. He won 70 games in four years with Detroit, which included a Cy Young Award in 2013 when he went 21-3 with a 2.90 earned runs average. Winning baseball comes at a price and for any team. It’s bittersweet. Max meant a lot to this organization and community, but in the end, I know the Tigers made the right call.

Track and field teams gear up for conference, interstate competition The women

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter

One week after Central Michigan University’s track and field teams notched six first-place finishes at Saginaw Valley State University’s Doug Hansen Open, the Chippewas hope to do even better on their own track. The men’s track and field team is set to face Eastern Michigan University at 3 p.m. on Friday at Jack Skoog Indoor Track. The women will follow with a triangular against the Eagles and rival Western Michigan University. The women’s home event will begin at 5:30 p.m. Mark Guthrie, director of track and field, said he and the Chippewas are well aware of the magnitude of their first MAC action this season. “It’s big in the fact that you are competing against your in-state rivals,” Guthrie said. “There is a little bit of bragging rights and a little bit of pride on the line. Clearly, Eastern Michigan is a much better team right now on the men’s side. But we are going to stick our nose in there and see where it gets us.”

The men

EMU’s men are coming off a victory at the Notre Dame Invitational on Saturday, edging out schools like Michigan State University, Indiana State University and Purdue University. Eagles sophomore Tyler Brown took the 400-meter dash with a time of 46.26, which is the second fastest time of any runner in 2015. Anthony Jones helped build up his EMU record in the weight throw with a distance of 20.75 meters in South Bend. EMU’s Harry Dixon won the 3000-meter with a mark of 8:18.45. The Eagles also took home wins in the 4x400-meter relay, long jump and triple jump.

The EMU women finished fifth in the Notre Dame Invitational, scoring 53.5 points. The Eagles’ only first-place finish was in the pole vault from Ellie Braidic, who won at 4.00 meters. EMU had a sixth-place finish in the 60-meter dash from Aaliyah McKinney who finished at 7.64, three hundredths of a second away from CMU freshman Tina Davis’ final time in the Chippewas race last week at SVSU. WMU is coming off the Gladstein Invitational, an unscored meet, last weekend in Bloomington, Ind. WMU had two first-place finishes in the event: Kathryn Pickett in the long jump (5.97 meters) and Naiomi Dulaney in the 200-meter dash (25.24). “I think it is a little bit more balanced on the women’s side,” Guthrie said. “I think it is good for track and field and good for the state of Michigan. A lot of these kids in high school competed head-to-head. It is about personal pride and team pride. That is what makes it exciting.”

Chippewas health update

Sophomore hurdler Ja’Corey Lipsey, will be out for multiple weeks with a hamstring injury endured on Friday at SVSU. Polish hurdler Ziemowit Dutkiewicz, high jumper Matt Mueller and distance runner Abbey Kelto, who all rested last week, are all expected to compete. “Once you give somebody a break you hope they bounce back at a higher level,” Guthrie said. “Our distance kids just cannot run every week. Track and field gives you the ability to move people up and down the list.” Guthrie admits that some of the athletes did not have their performances last week in Saginaw. “Every meet there is good and bad and you try to see what you did well, repli-

CMU track and field athletes participated in a meet on Friday, Jan. 16 against Oakland University.

“I think it is a little bit more balanced on the women’s side. I think it is good for track and field and good for the state of Michigan. A lot of these kids in high school competed head-to-head. It is about personal pride and team pride. That is what makes it exciting.” Mark Guthrie, Director of track and field cate that, and you want to identify it and not repeat it,” he said. “Each week you try to be better. For some of the people for whatever reason they were not ready to go or they were ready to go and that is where they are at in this point in time. Each day you build on what you did previously.” CMU will try to make a statement this Friday against their in-state rivals, which is senior day at Jack Skoog. This is their only MAC event before next

month’s MAC indoor championship in Mount Pleasant. Guthrie is treating Friday like the real thing, but also said playing with pride will be the Chippewas’ first priority. “They need to compete with pride and they need to represent,” Guthrie said. “I’m sure a lot of these kids know each other but when you are on the track it’s headto-head. If they’re going to beat us then they are going to have to go hard and if we are going to win then we are going to have to go hard.”
