Michigan to pay CMU $850,000 for 2013 By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

The University of Michigan will pay Central Michigan University $850,000 to come to Ann Arbor to play football on Aug. 31, 2013. The contract states CMU will also be given 450 tickets to the game according to information Central Michigan Life gathered from filing a Freedom of Information Act. This was the second nonconference game scheduled for 2013. CMU is also traveling to North Carolina State two weeks after going to U-M. The Chippewas will make $250,000 from that game. The total is low because the N.C. State Wolfpack is coming to Kelly/ Shorts Stadium in 2014. CMU Athletic Director Dave Heeke said traveling to Georgia in 2008 was the biggest contract, where the Chippewas made $875,000. This would be the second-highest compensation, but the net gain might be greater by not having to travel and stay in Georgia. The Chippewas are 0-3 against U-M. The last time CMU played at Michigan Stadium was in 2006 and the Chippewas lost 41-17. This was when U-M was ranked 10th in the country. The $850,000 is considerably larger than the $500,000 Michigan State University paid CMU to come this fall. “Large schools are able to pay more out,” Heeke said in a previous interview. “Michigan will

That’s why they’re able to pay visiting teams that they’re favored to win. The more competitive the game, the lower the price.” Heeke also said on the best day; CMU will make $300,000 on a home game. The 450 tickets is more than the 400 tickets MSU gave, but the Spartans gave CMU the option of purchasing another 5,000. U-M will have until Feb. 1, 2014 to pay CMU.

A sketch has been released of the man who attempted to abduct an 18-year-old woman Oct. 14. The incident took place at about 1:50 p.m. near 1100 Crapo St. in Mount Pleasant. The suspect is described as either Hispanic or American Indian, in his 20s to 30s with black, curly hair, approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds. Jeff Browne, Public Information Officer for the Mount Pleasant Police Department, said the attempted abduction started when a male came up and approached the woman to ask a question. The suspect then began to follow her for a short while, he said. The girl told the suspect to stop following her or she was going to punch him. She then pulled out her phone and be-

She said no and continued to walk, then he got out of the vehicle and attempted to grab her with both arms. She broke free and was able to get away from him to a residence where she called the police. “It’s pretty unusual for this area for something like this to happen,” Browne said. “It’s a bit out of place for us.” The vehicle is described as a red single cab older model pickup truck, with bigger tires and possibly a yellow sticker in the back passenger-side window. metro@cm-life.com

Joe Rogers used humor to engage the audience at a raptor show that featured a variety of birds. Rogers, a biologist of the Wildlife Recovery Association and resident of Oil City, co-hosted the show Thursday night put on by the Wildlife Society, a registered student organization. His wife Barb also was a co-host of the show, which brought about 150 people. “A lot of people study birds now but don’t get to see them up close,” Joe said. “I grew up taking care of animals and worked with the DNR and was a veterinarian, so that’s how I became involved with the WRA.” The WRA began in 1979 and provides wildlife services and care for orphaned and injured raptors, or birds of prey Joe talked about various birds including screech owls, which he compared to teenagers. “They make weird noises and drive their parents crazy,” Joe said. He also said screech owls can have up to eight babies at a time and can sound like ghosts. He said often people will go to old, empty barns and hear ghost-like sounds, but when any outside noise is made, the owls go quiet. Barb said the best part about

helping these endangered birds is that it’s a worthwhile cause. “Being able to see the connection and reaction these animals have with people is the most rewarding,” she said, “as well as helping the environment.” Unfortunately, many of these animals are in the care of the Rogers because of tragic experiences.

Phi Kappa Tau hosts Phry Tau, raises money CMU could be first in Sales benefit terminally ill children By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

The Phi Kappa Tau house smelled of batter and french fries as brothers fried food for a charitable cause. The event ran Thursday night at the Phi Kappa Tau house, 906 Main St., where endless fries were served with cheese, chili and other condiments. Fried Oreos, pickles and Twinkies were also sold, with proceeds benefitting the Hole in the Wall Camps. “The charity was founded by one of our brothers, (famous actor) Paul Newman,” said Grosse Ile sophomore Zack Kowalski. “It sends terminally ill children to summer camp for free.” About 300 to 400 people

attended the event, Kowalski said. The first Phry Tau event last year raised about $1,000 for the charity. Tristan Nelson, a Ypsilanti senior and the fraternity’s philanthropy chairman, said the event will be held annually. “I’m just excited to have this big event,” Kowalski said. “Sometimes people bring things for us to fry for them, so we throw some batter on it and see if it works.” There was live music at the event. Saginaw junior Ben Schuller played acoustic sets at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. “We’re hoping to make $1,500 to $2,000 this year,” Nelson said. “We set it up all day and volunteer at night for free. Apart from raising money for kids, we just like to hang out all day with our brothers.” Kowalski said he felt like the event was more organized this time, but would have

Central Michigan University would be the first university in Michigan to implement a new style of online learning. In Tuesday’s Academic Senate meeting, Provost Gary Shapiro addressed the option of using the National Center for Academic Transformation, a nonprofit organization, to implement more online learning to save the university money. Carolyn Jarmon, NCAT vice president, said the center has worked with about

200 universities and community colleges to enhance learning. They use six different models of restructuring courses that can be formatted for different academic disciplines. For many students, lectures are not engaging, Jarmon said. NCAT focuses on information technology, meaning students use more self-learning online software to take quizzes and view shorter lectures. She said it is normally used in prerequisite undergraduate courses with larger class sizes. The NCAT system allows universities to save money by placing more students in classes. “Those kinds of things reduce time having to grade

quizzes, and when faculty don’t have to do that kind of thing, they can have a few more students in their class,” Jarmon said. “All of a sudden, you have a faculty member who was teaching extra courses, now has more free time and can offer more graduate courses.” Jarmon said CMU is aware of NCAT, but has not officially applied to be in the program at this time. The universities that have, she said, have seen successful financial savings. It creates a larger class with more tutors and graduate assistants, meaning less work for faculty, she said. Laura Frey, Faculty Association president and associate professor of counseling and special education, said she is concerned NCAT would create problems for faculty by making them essentially expendable. Frey said implementing more online coursework could allow for more chances to get around work or to cheat. Additionally, it leaves faculty less time with students, meaning students have to learn on their own. Why should students have

to pay higher tuition just to do more self-teaching, Frey asked. “It blurs our role as faculty and diminishes our direct involvement,” she said. “I hope there may well be a true sincere desire, as Provost Shapiro said, to improve quality of learning, but I think the bottom goal is to save money.” Jarmon said they have not seen faculty losing their jobs because of NCAT. In most cases, institutions have goals for additional upper division courses, and NCAT frees up faculty personnel to develop and teach them, she said. Monte Boisen, chairman of the math department at the University of Idaho, has used NCAT and is supportive of it. He first tried it when he was teaching math at Virginia Tech University. He saw improvement in the grades and has gained ground ever since, he said. “NCAT was very helpful,” Boisen said. “The thing they helped the most with was they provided rubrics to guide us along in terms of organizing our transformation.” Universities go through an

application process before NCAT chooses them. The center coaches individuals on how to enhance their particular class and let the university take it from there. Universities that choose to use the program can individually implement it for courses, without applying it to the entire department or college it falls under. Boison said using the approach helped him teach groups of students with different learning styles all in

A new national study, “The Hidden Costs of Community Colleges,” reports that federal, state and local governments invested nearly $4 billion in full-time community college students who dropped out after their first year. In Pennsylvania, that five-year expenditure amounted to about $87 million — $98 million in New Jersey — in government aid to students and support to schools, according to data released Thursday by the American Institute for Research of Washington. Nationally, the report’s authors say, nearly $1 bilone class. “There’s no cookie cutter approach,” he said. “But in order to be successful, they need to have the one-onone time.” As a faculty member, Boisen said it is normal to have fears about NCAT, but it does not cause loss of tenure-track faculty. It did, however, cause disconnect between them and their classes. “The tenure-track really became disconnected from

The hidden costs come when the colleges are seeing swelling enrollment and increasing demands on their services. Their student bodies now include displaced workers, remedial students, nonEnglish speakers and students seeking more affordable higher education. Also, community colleges feature prominently in the Obama administration’s pledge to substantially increase the number of the nation’s college graduates by 2020.

those courses, which isn’t all good,” he said. “But I think they were overall happy about it.” Frey said she did think some of NCAT’s ideas were good, but is concerned CMU administration would force it on the faculty without letting them have a say. “The words sound nice,” Frey said. “But at this point, the faculty haven’t been involved with steps forward.” university@cm-life.com

LOS ANGELES — Facebook Inc. has struck a partnership with the U.S. Labor Department to help the unemployed find jobs. The deal could position the social-networking site with more than 800 million users to increasingly move into professional networking, a field now most closely identified with LinkedIn. But at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, LinkedIn Corp. Chairman Reid Hoffman shrugged off the notion of Facebook as a competitive threat. Asked whether LinkedIn would be held back by its demographic — the average user is in his or her early to mid-40s — Hoffman retorted: “You mean, like someone who could give you a job?” His response elicited quite a few chuckles from the audience. A year ago, LinkedIn Chief Executive Jeff Weiner said Facebook profiles might not be a good fit for professional networking.

AP tests more popular but CLEP tests more passable last year By Alexandria Woolworth Staff Reporter

Although Advanced Placement tests are more popular, students found CLEP tests more passable last year. College Level Examination Program tests can be administered to any Central Michigan University student, and cost $95 ($70 to CLEP and $25 to CMU for a scheduling fee). The College Board’s Advanced Placement exams, or AP tests,

cost $87. They are taken before college, usually after a high school AP class. Students who score a three or higher out of five earn credit for a comparable course. Sterling Heights sophomore Rebecca Pittman earned college credit by passing the AP tests for calculus and psychology. She also passed the CLEP test for English 101. “I feel that the CLEP tests are easier then AP tests, but I feel if I had not taken AP classes in high

school, then I would not have been able to pass the CLEP tests,” she said. “I feel both are a good option for saving money.” A passing score on either test earns the student credit. CLEPs are offered in 33 different subjects. Eighty-three percent of the 326 students who took a CLEP test last year passed. The English composition test was the most popular, which made up 64 percent of tests taken. Last year 2,302 freshmen took an AP test in the fall and 51 per-

cent passed with credit. The most popular test was the AP English, followed by AP Math, AP Science, AP History and AP Language. Out of 647 students who took AP English, about 57 percent passed. These results were similar for AP Science and AP Math. For AP History and AP Language, however, the results were lower. In history, 333 tested and about 23 percent of these passed, and in language 36 students test-

ed and about 33 percent passed. Some students think their high school teachers’ curriculum and rigor affect how they perform on AP tests. “(My teacher) really cared about us and pushed us really hard, so there was definitely an advantage, gaining an opportunity to learn more,” said Zeeland freshman Panuka Phomvongsa. He passed the AP Psychology test and earned credit. There is also a sample test that can be taken for $10; both the

Liquor tax cut by 1.85 percent

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

The job market for teachers may have taken a downturn in recent years, but that has not discouraged some seniors and alumni from pursuing careers as educators. Stephanie Glowacki graduated from Central Michigan University in 2011 and now teaches third grade at Sacred Heart Academy in Mount Pleasant. She said she decided to stay in Michigan because she wanted to be near her family. “That was my biggest concern,” she said. Glowacki said her backup plan was to be a substitute teacher until she found a job, and if she had not found a job after a couple years, she would have moved out of Michigan. She said she was nervous about finding a job in-state after graduation, so she set up multiple job interviews. “That’s what I wanted to do, so I just kept looking,” she said. Right before her third interview in July, Glowacki received a phone call with a job offer. She said she was glad to have a job near her home because she loves the area. “I think Michigan has a lot to offer,” she said. Nicole Samuilow graduated from CMU in December 2008 and is now teaching kindergarten in West Bloomfield. Samuilow said after she student-taught, she was hired at the same school the next fall. She said the school ended up needing another kindergarten teacher, and she received a phone call with a job offer two weeks before the school year started in 2009. “It wasn’t really a consideration to go elsewhere,” she said. “I was in the right place at the right time.” Samuilow said she graduated when people were beginning to worry about teaching jobs in Michigan, so she had a lot of friends who had to go out of state to find jobs in education. She said she believes fewer students are going into teaching because of pay cuts in school districts, and because teaching is a lot of work for not a lot of pay. “I think it’s much worse now,”

CLEP and sample test are scored on a range of 20-80. CMU decides the CLEP scoring based on the rigor of the classes that will follow. Depending on the test, its scoring may be more difficult than the AP scoring. CLEP tests are given in the computer-based placement testing center located in the lower level Robinson dining commons.

Sushi, martini bar opening after a year and a half of renovations By Lacey Johnson | Staff Reporter

Midori Sushi and Martini Lounge will open today after a year and a half of waiting. The restaurant, 105 W. Broadway St., had delayed opening after experiencing ownership changes, as well as a grant approval process. It was originally scheduled to open in June 2010. Midori will have an upscale, contemporary atmosphere that will bring a unique dining experience downtown Mount Pleasant, said owner Rich Swindlehurst in a press release. Swindlehurst said he wants Midori to be a dining experience unlike any other in Mount Pleasant. “As soon as you walk in the door of Midori, the lively design will transport you into a metropolitan atmosphere,” Swindlehurst said. In an email, Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller said she is looking forward to the opening of the restaurant. “Before renovations started on the building, it was a shell of a

building that didn’t have much life,” Sponseller said. “Today it’s a fantastic looking building with a lively business inside.” According to the press release, Executive Chef Jake Wendt created the menu to include Japanese cuisine with other Asian influences. “We are receiving multiple orders of fresh fish per week from both East and West Coast markets.

A plate of California rolls along with salmon and Tuna Nigiri is ready to be served to invitation only customers Thursday evening at Midori Sushi and Martini Lounge, 105 E. Broadway St.

We choose to purchase fish from vendors who can guarantee certification for being fished sustainably,” Wendt said. Some students and community members said they would likely visit the new business. “If there was a sushi place that served authentic sushi, I’d go there,” said Goodrich sophomore Terrance Elizondo.

The martini bar will feature a handcrafted cocktail menu with fresh mint, basil, ginger, house-made syrups, fresh fruit and purees created by CMU alumna Leah Hetherington. “I’d go there in a heartbeat,” said Austin Douglas, Mid Michigan Community college student. “I love sushi.” m et ro@ c m -l i fe . c om

Grocery and party stores will see a dip in what they pay in state liquor tax after Gov. Rick Snyder signed a bill Oct. 11. The law cuts the liquor tax by 1.85 percent at off-site premises, which includes grocery and party stores. The change will allow retail stores to stay competitive with restaurants that cater off-premise events using their own supply of alcohol, which was not subject to the tax, the governor’s office said in a statement. The bill, which was approved 38-0 by the Senate on June 1 and 79-29 by the House on Sept. 20, will result in Michigan losing $14 million from the state budget. Rep. Jeff Irwin, D-Ann Arbor, voted against the bill. “Everyone knows the Michigan budget is in a tough spot,” he said. “I understand my colleagues leveling the amount of taxation on liquor, but if they want to fulfill that goal, they need revenue neutral. It’s like spending money you don’t have.” Continuing to cut funding for schools is not a pathway to prosperity, he said. Irwin said he doesn’t feel the tax cut will directly impact students who drink on campus, because the cut is so small. Rep. Kevin Cotter, RMount Pleasant, said in an email the $14 million is from the Liquor Purchasing Revolving Fund and only the excess of that fund is deposited into the state’s General Fund/General Purpose budget. “Revenue could be generated to off set the decline to the general fund because border sales of liquor will be lowered because of the elimination of the specific tax,” he said. He said they have been working hard in Lansing to create a level playing field for all businesses to grow in Michigan, and that includes looking at tax codes that have not been thoroughly reviewed in years.

Student works with CMU Police to enforce bicycle safety laws By Chad Mitchell Staff Reporter

Cyclists on campus may find themselves being pulled over and ticketed for violating bike laws in the near future. Lt. Larry Klaus of the Central Michigan University Police Department said it’s not the tickets they’re after, though. “Our primary goal is to have a safer campus,” Klaus said. “We want to accomplish that through an education component, training and enforcement.” Klaus said he was excited about a month ago when Brighton graduate student Samantha Fiani came to the police department. Fiani approached

the CMU Police with the goal of educating students on proper cycling. “Mostly what we talk about is how to develop a mutual respect between cyclists, motorists and pedestrians,” Fiani said. “The best way we’ve come up with is to educate everyone.” Fiani said she is willing to donate her time to handle the task. To instruct bicycle safety courses, she has to get certification from the League of American Bicyclists. She said certification is the biggest cost she is planning to incur. She wants to make pamphlets from the League of Michigan Bicyclists available to students, which they provide at the cost of postage. Fiani said

she can get 300 pamphlets for as low as $20. She plans to instruct for free once she is certified. Fiani said she wants to educate students, community members and anyone else who is willing to listen. “It’s really important because the kamikaze style of cycling that we currently have at this university is not sustainable,” she said. “Someone is going to get seriously injured.” Since August, three bicycle accidents have been reported to CMU Police. In two of these cases, the cyclist was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Klaus said he believes accidents involving cyclists are more common than they know.

“Unless somebody gets hurt, those aren’t getting reported to us,” Klaus said. He said he sees unsafe practices all over campus. A cyclist breaking the law on campus could face penalties ranging from a warning to a $100 ticket, he said. Klaus said he doesn’t expect every student to be happy with the enforcement of bicycle laws, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of students. Fiani has collected about 300 signatures from students and faculty for a petition to enforce these laws. Not all students are as excited as Klaus and Fiani, though.

Best option for marijuana Across the state, attention has recently been given to the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries’ legality under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA). Brandon McQueen, the former owner of Compassionate Apothecary, a dispensary that facilitates the patient-topatient sale of marijuana, lost a court case at the Michigan Court of Appeals in August and recently held a rally in Mount Pleasant. His dispensary rented out lockers where clients could store excess marijuana for the future sale to other patients. McQueen argued that because the dispensary did not own the marijuana, that it was not “selling” the marijuana nor in violation of exceeding the amount of marijuana allowed per patient or caregiver. This logic, while sound on the surface, falls apart when looking at precedent from previous court cases. Through dispensing the marijuana in exchange for monetary payment, while dispensaries do not own the marijuana, they clearly “exercise dominion or control over the substance,” which courts have said falls under the term “possession.” Because the dispensaries are also taking a percentage from the price members had set, and because a sale would not take place without the dispensary, the court rightfully found that dispensaries were engaged in “selling” marijuana. The court correctly ruled that under the MMMA, that “medical use” does not permit the “sale” of marijuana. The court’s line of reasoning is further supported in the MMMA itself, which states, “A registered primary caregiver may receive compensation for costs associated with assisting a registered qualifying patient in the medical use of marihuana. Any such compensation shall not constitute the sale of controlled substances.” The only money that can be given for marijuana is the amount of money a caregiver loses by helping someone administer marijuana. If dispensaries or caregivers are making money from the transfer of marijuana, this violates the act. The court ruled that because the dispensary possessed more marijuana than its owners were allowed to have, they were in violation of the MMMA. Furthermore, it ruled that any dispensary facilitating the sale of marijuana is also illegal under the Public Health Code because the MMMA does not allow the sale of marijuana. While the appeals court correctly ruled on the case, the issue is far from resolved, and an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court is likely. Problems with the law were predicted after it passed a state-wide vote, and there is an easy solution — legalize marijuana altogether. It is time the nation ends its double standard between keeping alcohol and tobacco legal while keeping marijuana criminalized. Legalize marijuana and punish those who abuse it like we do with alcohol. Doing so would not only end debates such as this, but would allow police and officials to focus on things that do more harm to society. Until this is done, the debate over medical marijuana will continue, but under current Michigan law, it is unlikely that marijuana dispensaries will be allowed to reopen.

EDITORIAL | Proposed online program brings questions

For whose benefit? A

t Tuesday’s Academic Senate meeting, Central Michigan University administrators and senators clashed over using more technology in classes to reduce costs. Carol Twigg, president and chief executive of the National Center for Academic Transformation, the non-profit organization that would implement the new technology, said in a report by the Chronicle of Higher Education that the programs include online quizzes and assignments. Twigg said NCAT’s programs reduce the needed number of professors and, on average, reduce the costs of teaching a course by 37 percent. This plan by the administration, and the response by the senators, was a calculated move by both sides. Still in the midst of a standstill in faculty contract negotiations, intro-

ducing plans to reduce the need for professors is obviously intended as a jab. Even if the quality of education is exactly the same and it is an economic no-brainer to make the switch, the timing of the announcement makes its intent clear. As the FA works without a current contract it seems interesting that this subject would come up in a meeting. The negative reaction of the academic senators, many of whom are FA members, is understandable. But before condemning NCAT’s program as impersonal, specifics should be provided for what exactly the program would do if implemented.

Would these more-automated courses free up professors’ time for higher-level classes and research, or would they be out of a job? The NCAT system allows universities to save money by placing more students in classes, said Carolyn Jarmon, NCAT vice president. This could throw CMU’s studentprofessor ratio, which is a relatively low one for our position in Michigan higher education, out of balance. Students also pay for the on-campus experience. Should students have to pay the already-inflated rates to take more quizzes online? Would using online software for classes normally taught by graduate assistants greatly reduce the ability of graduate students to pay for their education? Most importantly, would the quality of education provided meet the current standard of education at CMU?

TRACIE SIVEC AND ERIN BATT [BATTING ZERO]

[your voice] In response to “Academic transformation discussed at Academic Senate meeting; academic prioritization to be released within a week” UTFmember - Thursday Just a few weeks after Arum and Roksa presented their findings from Academically Adrift, arguing strongly and with strong evidence for an increase in rigor, writing, reading, and face-to-face pedagogy in college-level education, the Provost tries to force faculty into a program that would reduce class time, cut costs, and emphasize the sort of cheap, automated, multiple-choice curriculum which is largely responsible for students today getting As and Bs without actually learning anything in their classes. The A-Senate is right to resist this strongly. Cavataio’s suggestion that faculty concerns are “not addressed in the Academic Transformation documents” counts against, not for, those documents, which should be read with the care and scepticism we apply to advertising copy. In response to COLUMN: “Decision to ban holidays right move” Tay Owens - Thursday American schoolchildren spend more hours in school each day and have more homework than children in almost every other Western nation, including many which do far better than we do on performance indices. Part of the reason our schools are failing when compared with those of dozens of other countries is that we give children too much scattershot work rather than concentrating on more focused curricula and letting them have more free time to digest their lessons while just being kids. We should have more relaxed holiday time in schools, not less, surrounding more focused lessons. The other thing making America’s schools fail is mis-“educators” like Foley, who are responsible for making our curricula unfocused by overloading them with multicultural Central Michigan Life serves the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities, and is under the jurisdiction of the independent Student Media Board of Directors.

Nathan, you assume learning only involves sitting at a desk. Can these students learn nothing by celebrating these Holidays? And when you talk about this being a problem in our schools I asked my dad, who would have been in elementary school in the late 1940’s if they celebrated holidays in school...you know what, they DID. Besides much of the “problems” in our schools come not from the schools from societal issues affecting the students. All you have to do is look up stats on income and educational achievement, or on race and educational achievement. We will never compete with ethnically homogenous and smaller countries like those of Europe and Asia when it comes to test scores. They do not have the wealth/culture disparities we have. Look at the country ranked no. 1 for education in the world, Finland, with less than 4 million people, few wealth disparities, and almost totally homogenous. Furthermore, do we want to simply be the best test-takers in the world, or do we want to teach our children how to THINK? You are only a kid once. These kids deserve the celebration and they can LEARN from it as well. You are being extremely ignorant, because you obviously assume nothing can be learned in celebrating these holidays.

In response to “COLUMN: Ban smoking outright” harleyrider1989 - Thursday We’ve been told for years secondhand smoke is deadly dangerous but we are here alive and there are no deaths from it, not even close. It’s an exaggerated, created science all its own. It’s propaganda - fallacies created to have justifications for a new round of tobacco prohibition. I am for freedom, freedom for all people to have their own place in this world, including the smokers! Tobacco smoke maybe an irritant to some, but that’s about it. Its chemical makeup has been so exaggerated by tobacco control pundits, it’s insanity. Only 6 percent of tobacco smoke constitutes those 7,000 theorized and identified components of the smoke. Theorized is the word, since the claimed chemicals are themselves so small they can barely be detected. Nanograms, femtograms are the sizes of what can be detected so they theorize the rest. Four percent is carbon monoxide, while nearly 90 percent constitutes ordinary atmospheric air! These figures come from the surgeon general’s report in 1989. Oh the pundits may bring up benzene in tobacco smoke. The average cigarette produces roughly 300 micrograms of benzene (1986 report of the surgeon general. p.130) 0.3 micrograms - 300 nanograms. Benzene is normally found in fruits, fish, vegetables, nuts, dairy products, beverages and eggs. The National Cancer Institute estimates that an individual may safely ingest up to 250 micrograms in their food per day, every single day of the year. Thus, the “safe” exposure to benzene from one day of a normal diet is roughly equal to the exposure experienced by a nonsmoker sharing an airspace with smokers for over 750 hours.

Broken phones; broken dreams

In June I was lucky to score an expensive smartphone for free. Now I want to run it over with my car. My texts don’t send, I have to flick my touch screen to get it to work and Words with Friends isn’t nearly as fun as everybody made it out to be. The phone before the one I have now was a dumb phone. It had the computing power of a cat. It could make calls. It sent texts. I was happy. The blazin’ fast 4G internet that I pay extra for each month is so slow, I could walk to the library and use one of those computers faster than it takes a page to load on my phone. I thought it would be good to check my email on the go. It didn’t take very long to realize that even if I really did want to check my email on the go, it would be quicker to build a time machine, travel to the past, and connect via dial up. Yes, I do understand that makes no sense. I don’t even know what half the settings on this thing do. I’m afraid that if I touch anything, the nuclear reactor inside will melt down. I don’t want to be responsible for that. It could just be my service provider, I didn’t have nearly as many problems with my old phone. I used to get great reception in my basement with my old phone. Now I have to catapult to space and touch the satellite with the tip of my phone if I want to be able to make out anything the person on the other line is saying. That’s why I think technology for technology’s sake is bad. I got sucked in because I thought smartphones sounded great, and now I’m realizing I’d rather just have a phone with a cord. The more I break it down, the more I realize I’m paying for nothing. I have the luxury of looking something up on Wikipedia while I’m in class instead of having to remember to do it when I get home. But if I get home and forget about it, it probably wasn’t all that important anyway. Some people are in love with their gadgets. I don’t get that. I guess when you spend that much money on anything it’s hard not to be in love with it, but it makes me wonder about the point of spending thousands of dollars on something so you can connect to the internet while you’re kayaking.

Gadhafi’s death signals transition New FYE class starting in spring added for LGBTQ students, allies

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

Political Science Department Chairman Orlando Perez said Moammar Gadhafi’s death after 40 years in power represents a transition for Libya. “I think it’s a significant move forward for Libya and the Libyan people,” he said. “It’s an end of an era for the North African country.” According to CNN, Gadhafi was killed Thursday in his hometown of Sirte, Libya. Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril said Gadhafi died in a crossfire between government troops and his loyalists. Perez said he believes this is a vindication of Barack Obama’s policies in Libya. Perez said Gadhafi’s death is a major global event that illustrates how governments change and collapse under popular uprising. “It’s certainly a major victory for U.S. policy and for our allies in NATO,” he said. “It’s a culmination of U.S. and NATO policy of supporting the rebels and attacking the Gadhafi regime.” Netherlands freshman Karsten Kip and Bad Axe junior Nick Varner are part of the

PSC 353: Model United Nations class, which will be representing Yemen at the American Model United Nations International Conference in Chicago this semester. Kip said the class is preparing for the model UN conference based on current Yemen policies, which are unstable and could change at any time. Kip said the Libyan leader’s death was to be expected, and it serves as a signal to other countries that dictators can be toppled. He said the future of the region is uncertain, and studying these events makes political science more interesting. “It’s one of the big things going on right now,” he said. “It’s like anything could happen.” Kip said, as an international student, he was glad to see European forces were also involved in Libya. “At least we’re doing something,” he said. “It’s a promising sign.” Varner said he would have preferred to see Gadhafi tried for crimes against humanity, but he knew his death was inevitable if he was in Libya, because of the citizens’ hatred for him. “There was no way he was going to be able to survive be-

ing taken captive by the type of people in the National Transition Counsel’s army,” he said. He said the loss of a prominent leader of the former government in Libya will have a considerable impact on the insurgency in Libya because they no longer have a single person to rally against. “I think the dwindling support (for the opposition) will evaporate,” he said. As for the international community, Varner said he does not think there will be a great effect, because Gadhafi had isolated himself in past decades. However, Gadhafi’s death could create an increase of rallies in countries such as Yemen and Syria that have struggled with oppressive governments, he said. Varner said he has been following the Arab Spring since the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. He said all Americans, especially students, should make efforts to become aware of international politics because they affect everyone. “We’re all members of a global community and it’s time we awoke to that fact,” he said. university@cm-life.com

She said there are opportunities for teacher education graduates in Michigan, but she would like to teach elsewhere while she is young and has the energy to travel. “At this point in time, I think it would be good for me to move out of state,” she said. Binder said she is concerned about finding a job because teaching is a competitive skill and there are limited teaching positions. She said all of the teacher education students at CMU have good test scores and GPAs, but interviewing skills are what will make graduates marketable. Binder said she has gained new responsibilities teaching social studies and reading throughout the semester, and in a couple weeks she will have the whole class to herself. She said student teaching has been her biggest learning experience because she has had the opportunity to get in the classroom and help students. “With student teaching, you’re thrown in there for eight hours a day, constantly, every day,” she said. “There’s nothing else that can really prepare you for that other than just jumping in there and doing it.”

she said. Student Teaching Some teacher education students at CMU hope their experiences student-teaching will prepare them to establish their careers as they approach graduation. Crystal Falls senior Tyler Morkin is student-teaching French at Mount Pleasant High School. Morkin said in an email he plans to look for employment in Michigan after he graduates in December, but he ultimately plans to move out of state. His reasons for moving have more to do with the climate than anything else, but the school budget challenges and recent funding cuts to public education do not seem positive for teachers, he said. “This is unfortunately a problem in most states nationwide, however, so it’s not like I’d be able to dodge the bullet just by leaving Michigan,” he said. Morkin said he is not worried about employment because he is the coordinator for Learning Management Systems Instructional Support at CMU, but he

would be “terrified” if he were unemployed. “December is an especially challenging time for teacher education graduates as very few schools hire teachers in the middle of the school year,” he said. “And if they do, it’s typically for a temporary position of some kind.” Morkin said student teaching has given him authentic classroom experience. It’s easy to give a mock lesson in a teaching methods class to a group of future teachers who are attentively engaged, he said, but as a student teacher he can discover what works and what doesn’t. He said he believes it is important for teacher education graduates looking for jobs to have enthusiasm and show they care about the students they will be teaching. Ann Arbor senior Amy Binder is student-teaching fifth grade at Renaissance Public School Academy in Mount Pleasant and will also graduate in December. She said she will probably stay in the Mount Pleasant area next semester, but she isn’t sure where she will go after that.

Some of the behaviors Fiani and Klaus want to enforce include the need for cyclists to cross roads at crosswalks, pay attention to drivers who may not see them and avoid using cell phones and music players while riding.

sociation.” He said there were 29 legislators who voted against the cut. “There were 29 heroes, and 79 goats,” he said. “Twentynine got the message.” The sponsor of the new bill also was the one who cut the tobacco taxes, he said. “It makes me sick to look at it,” he said. The alcohol taxes in Michigan have not been raised in 50 years, Tobias said. He said if the

taxes on alcohol were raised a nickel, Michigan would raise an extra $100 million in revenue in a year. This money in turn could be put toward education, law enforcement and benefitting the community, he said. “They’re struggling for money to help prevent problems, but some people in office just don’t care about the people,” he said.

A new First Year Experience course, FYE 101D: First Year Experience Course for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Ally Students will be offered this spring. Student Ombuds Officer Jon Humiston said the main reason for creating the course is to make underclassmen aware of the resources available on campus. “Campus climate studies conducted at CMU indicate that LGBTQ students are not connecting to the resources available to them on campus until their second or third year at CMU,” Humiston said. The class was scheduled to launch for the fall 2011 semester, but was canceled because of low enrollment. FYE and LGBTQ services are working to get the word out about the new course so students will register for spring. “Sections of First Year Experience are a growing trend on campuses across the U.S.,” Humiston said. Shannon Jolliff, director of LGBTQ services, said student assistants are working through email groups to find out which schools throughout Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana have gay/straight alliance programs. They hope to contact students who are in the process of deciding where to go to college and raise awareness of Central Michigan University’s LGBTQ program and support, Jolliff said. Macomb sophomore and Spectrum President Justin Gawronski said he focuses on helping promote the new course at general meetings and campus events like Tuesday’s Speak Up, Speak Out forum. Although the class is not available for registration yet, Humiston said Jason Bentley, director of First Year Experience, are working to get it added to the system by the time most freshmen can register. The course will be held Monday and Wednesday from 12 to 12:50 p.m. “After this upcoming semester’s course, the hope is that this special section of FYE will be filled every fall semester from this point forward,” Humiston said. The new course will meet the same objectives every FYE course meets, while tailoring activities to LG-

guage was changed and removed, Republican lawmakers still would not pass the law in 2009 and had another chance in 2011 to do the same. Why are our lawmakers going to wait until we lose more children to suicide, or worse, wait for a major school shooting, before they act on this issue?” Because the language of the bill has changed, people such as Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, expect it to be passed and signed into law. “We did not think it was necessary or positive to segregate students in special classes,” Glenn said. “In states such as Iowa, antibullying laws with specific language that included gay students can set a precedent for homosexual marriage.” Jones said while the bill isn’t perfect, it’s a good start and he has not seen too much opposition from anyone yet.

Janet Fase said the Dash for a Difference 5K Saturday isn’t like most charity runs. “It’s something different,” the Kalamazoo junior said. “I know 5Ks are everywhere and for every cause imaginable, but we put a fun twist on it.” Battle Creek junior Kellie Murphy said the run will be broken up by obstacles like a tire run and carrying an egg on a spoon. “It freaks a lot of people out when they hear ‘5K,’ but it’s definitely laid back,” Murphy said, All proceeds from the event will go to Special Olympics Michigan. Runners will meet at 10 a.m. at Finch Fieldhouse and the run will begin at 11 a.m.

People shouldn’t be intimidated by the length of the event, Murphy said. Fase and Murphy are working together as part of a small group for a class, RPL 340: Therapeutic Recreation: Developmental Disabilities. This is their final project for the course and they are hoping to make an impact with it. Based on data from previous years, the group is planning to raise $300 with Dash for a Difference. They want to make a donation to Special Olympics Michigan, but also help spread awareness about the organization.

East Lansing resident Kevin Epling hopes that a new Michigan anti-bullying law goes further in the Michigan legislature than others in the past. Senate Bill 137 is now out of Senate Judiciary Committee and will go to the Senate floor sometime this fall, said the bill sponsor Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. “The difference between this bill and past bills is that it will include every child,” Jones said. “It doesn’t include specific groups, like others in the past that included specific language for overweight students or gay students. This bill doesn’t exclude people.” Jones said the legislation will require all Michigan schools to have an anti-bullying policy. The bill is also known as “Matt’s Safe School Law,” named after Matt Epling, Kevin Epling’s son. “In 2002 our son Matthew was assaulted by upperclassmen as a ‘welcome to high school hazing.’ This affected Matt deeper than what we

thought,” Epling said. “The night before we were to talk with police about formal charges, Matt took his own Rick Jones life. We decided to be vocal about what happened and have worked to make change and that begins with education and awareness of the issues.” The first bills aiming to end bullying in Michigan schools were introduced in 1999, but none have been signed into law. Epling said there have been so many different excuses over the years to prevent the law, and every time one excuse is corrected, another takes its place. The only three states that don’t have anti-bullying laws are Michigan, Montana and South Dakota, Epling said. “There has been much opposition to the bills from Republican leaders,” Epling said. “Even after the lan-

CMU looks for revenge after last year’s loss to Toledo Team plays Ball State on Sunday in regular season home finale By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

One loss. That was it for the Central Michigan women’s soccer team last season in Mid-American Conference play. And that one loss came against Toledo, the team it faces at 4 p.m. today. The Rockets feature a trio of offensive players. Senior Kristen Lynn leads the team with eight goals followed by sophomores Nicole Gyurgyik (seven goals) and Rachel MacLeod (six goals). Toledo is the only team in the MAC with three players registering at least 15 points. Head coach Neil Stafford knows if the Chippewas capitalize on more of their scoring chances, then the game should have a favorable outcome. “If we score two Neil Stafford goals on a team, it is very difficult to see a team scoring three goals on us,” Stafford said. But CMU will encounter a stifling Toledo defense which has allowed only four goals in MAC play, posting six shutouts in eight games. BALL STATE The Cardinals are coming off a 2-0 loss to Kent State Sunday and a scoreless tie against Buffalo on Oct. 14 and look to get back on track at 1 p.m. on Sunday against the Chippewas. Freshman Jasmine Moses and junior Brigit Reder lead BSU in scoring. The two have seven and six goals respectively. “We just need to put the teams under pressure and just play our game,” said senior defender CMU (11-2-3, Claire Horton. 5-1-2 MAC) vs Toledo (9-5-2, The two 7-0-1 MAC) games this weekend will When: Friday be her last Time: 4 p.m. regular seaWhere: CMU son games Soccer played at the Complex CMU Soccer Complex.

Field of Faith

Radcliff, Wilson, Westendorp embrace, spread their faith By Justin Hicks | Senior Reporter

ootball is more than just a game for Ryan Radcliff, Cody Wilson and A.J, Westendorp. “Our intent is to use our platform as athletes to point to God and glorify God in what he’s done in our lives,” Westendorp said. As popular as sports are in the world today, it’s common for people to fail to realize the other dimensions of athletes. “As a football player, it’s something I like to do, but it’s not what defines me,” Wilson said. “With success, people start to look at you differently and one verse I really take to heart is John 3:30, ‘He must increase, I must decrease.’” The bible verse hangs above Wilson’s locker, reminding him of why he takes the field. With the opportunity to reach larger crowds, being on that platform can be a tough responsibility. “With that platform comes the fishbowl effect,” Radcliff said. “People have their eyes on you and you can either use it in a good way or in a bad way.”

Radcliff was recruited by seven MidAmerican Conference schools and picked CMU out of the crowd simply because it felt right. “Something was different here,” he said. “I know God had his hand on that and looking back I can definitely see that I’m here for a reason and I don’t think I would be where I am in my faith without having come to Central.” Westendorp had a similar experience, stepping further into his faith when he arrived at CMU. Building a relationship that wraps around God with Radcliff, Wilson and long snapper Brian Bennyhoff was a strong piece of the puzzle for the young quarterback, who was able to grow in faith at CMU. “Coming to Central, some of the big things to shape my faith have been when I went on a mission trip to Atlanta and also leading bible study in the dorms with some of the guys,” he said. “We have been blessed to be able to do that.” A NIGHT WITH THE CHIPPEWAS His House gave Radcliff, Wilson and

Westendorp, along with other Central Michigan athletes, an opportunity to lead a service known as A Night with the Chippewas on Sept. 29. Radcliff opened the service by giving the offering and Westendorp led the musical performance of the night around Wilson’s sermon. “Honestly, it went better than we expected,” Wilson said. “The music was great, the message came together and God really blessed that night and it was great to be a part of.” Standing on stage in Plachta Auditorium, Wilson spoke of the importance of resisting temptation to bend and his experiences in which he faced with such challenges. “I was on the edge of my seat,” Radcliff said. “It felt like he was done in five minutes and he did a heck of a job.” The idea to have athletes lead the service came from a similar event the Detroit Lions put on each year. As the Lions chaplain for 27 years Cody Wilson’s dad, David Wilson, is a

Football team begins another three-game road trip By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

Ball State marks the first stop of the Central Michigan football team’s second three-game road trip of the season at 2 p.m. Saturday at Scheumann Stadium in Muncie, Ind. CMU hopes to have more success on this trip after finishing the last one 0-3 with losses coming against Kentucky, Western Michigan and Michigan State. “We can’t worry about that,” said junior safety Jahleel Addae. “The only thing we can do is travel to the

destinations they give us and go out and play Chippewa football.” The Chippewas are coming off a 35-28 loss to Eastern Michigan Saturday in which the Eagles rushed for 350 yards to crash CMU’s homecoming. “Ball State is very similar in they have got two backs and two tight ends and they pound the ball,” said head coach Dan Enos. “The only difference is (their quarterback) isn’t as good on the run, but he’s a better passer.” Quarterback Keith Wenning, whose 184.1 yards per game ranks

eighth in the Mid-American Conference, leads the Cardinal offense. Quarterback Ryan Radcliff is ranked third in the conference, averaging 249.7 yards per game and throwing almost twice as many touchdowns as Wenning. Radcliff has thrown to 17 different players this season. His favorite targets have been Cody Wilson (35 receptions), Jerry Harris (21 receptions) and David Blackburn (17 receptions), though freshman Titus Davis and Courtney Williams have

Volleyball aims to improve winning streak to five Senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz expected to play By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Confidence is high as the Central Michigan volleyball team comes home with a three-match winning streak. And it will look for five-straight wins this weekend against Akron and Buffalo. “A five-match winning streak would be huge for us,” said sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell. “We’re so competitive in the Mid-American Conference and our division.” The Chippewas have beaten To-

ledo, Bowling Green and Miami University since their only home loss against Ball State two weeks ago. A five-match win streak would be CMU’s longest streak since 2009, when they won six straight from Sept. 5-25. The Chippewas start the weekend at 7 p.m. Friday against the Zips. “I would’ve liked to play them a couple weeks ago,” said head coach Erik Olson. “They’re kind of like we were four weeks ago.” Akron had three players with 10plus skills in its loss against Western Michigan last Saturday. BUFFALO If CMU wants the five-match winning streak, it needs to beat the

The Cadinals are a balanced team and Wenning is the quarterback who keeps the offense composed. He has completed 62.3 percent of his passes this season. Reason to watch: Wenning managed last week’s win, passing for 179 yards. CMU could cause trouble because Wenning isn’t a scrambling QB.

Travis Freeman — MLB

Edwards is the featured running back in the Cardinals offense. He has almost double the carries that backup Barrington Scott has.

Freeman leads the Cardinals defense in tackles (65). He has a 34-yard interception and one sack this season.

Reason to watch: Edwards rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown in last week’s 23-20 win against Ohio. Expect more against CMU’s defense.

Reason to watch: He had four tackles last week, but he also recorded his first interception of the season. Look for him to be an enforcer for the Cardinals defense.

Paris Cotton — RB

Radcliff had himself a relatively nice game against Eastern Michigan. He passed 50 times for 351 yards and three touchdowns in windy conditions. Reason to watch: Radcliff can be successful against the Cardinals, but the team needs to establish a run. BSU is ranked second to last in the MAC in rushing defense.

Cody Wilson — WR Wilson is Mr. Consistent. He makes at least one catch a game and he leads this offense by example.

Cotton will be the featured back early on in the game. If he can open up the field, CMU could have a field day. Reason to watch: He is the x-factor of the game. He has rushed for the most yards on the team this season (304). Cotton is an explosive back who ha provided versatility for CMU.

Zips and Buffalo. The Bulls are on a fourmatch losing streak and have been swept in their last two games. “They serve tough and they’re huge,” Olson said. “We have to make sure we don’t run our offense into their big blockers.” The job of directing the offense falls on the shoulders of Maxwell, who is ranked no. 67 in the nation in assists per game with an average of 10.48. “I just need to find my open hitters and put them in good situations,” Maxwell said. Junior Val DeWeerd has stepped up and performed well in the absence of the injured junior Jocelyn VerVelde,

but the starter is still uncertain. “Val (DeWeerd) has been training real well and Jocelyn (VerVelde) has been getting better everyday,” Olson said. “Right now I’m undecided, we’ll see.” Senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz, who has been out of practice this week due to illness, is expected to play this weekend according to Olson. This week marks the first of a two-week homestand and final one of the season. “McGuirk has been awesome,” Maxwell said. “Last year we were in Finch (Fieldhouse) and it felt like we were always on the road.” The MAC Championship race is starting to shape up toward the final month of the regular season.

part of A Night with the Lions, which draws a crowd that usually doesn’t come to church. “We have a really good crowd on Wednesday nights, but it always triples when we have the Night with the Lions,” David said. “I think the reason people come is that they’re interested in knowing something about these guys off the field.” CHEMISTRY As the team’s top two quarterbacks and number one wide receiver, the trio has to have chemistry on offense and having faith to lean on strengthens that bond. “There’s a depth to our friendship that I don’t feel like most friendships have,” Cody said. “We’re really close spiritually and I think that enters a deep level in a friendship.” The religious side of the team expands past the three offensive weapons though. Several other players on the team join Radcliff, Westendorp and Wilson after practice

to take part in prayer before heading into the locker room. “It’s awesome to have all those guys, just to hold you accountable,” Radcliff said. “You can do it on your own for a while, but at some point something is going to get you and make you bend or break.” Like his father, Wilson plans to speak about his faith after his football career ends. “It’s something I want to do with my life after football,” Cody said. “My parents are probably the best examples I’ve ever been given on how to live life and who I want to be like.” Cody’s father has been in the ministry for 35 years. In his time he’s seen preachers both good and bad, and said Cody is a natural. “I could have never done that at 20 years old,” David said. “Being humorous and powerful and teaching the word and being relevant and practical and challenging all at the same time. He has a gift and what God does with it will be interesting to watch.” sports@cm-life.com

Ball State expected to be similar to EMU offensively, defensively By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

Last week Eastern Michigan rushed for 350 yards. Central Michigan expects more teams to try to do the same. “The blueprint’s been set,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. The scary thing for the Chippewas is Ball State runs an offense that resembles Eastern Michigan. The Cardinals are big and they run. “After being ran on a lot last week, they’re going to try to run the ball,” said CMU junior safety Jahleel Addae.

“This guy isn’t quite as good as a runner, but I think he’s a better passer,” Enos said. “With all that run, there’s going to be some play-action that our secondary will have to account for.” BSU is similar to EMU on defense as well. “They’re pretty similar to Eastern,” said CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff. “They do little stuff differently, like certain blitzes with different coverages behind.” The Cardinals have allowed the most passing yards (244.3 yards per game) in the Mid-American Conference so far. The rush defense is

“The defensive line has to penetrate and cause havoc in the backfield.” Jahwan Edwards is Ball State’s leading rusher. He’s a 5-foot-10, 232-pound true freshman, rushing for 543 yards and seven touchdowns. “Ball State is very similar (to EMU),” Enos said. “They have two backs and two tight ends. They pound the ball, they’re very physical. Their offensive line is very good and they have a big back.” One difference between BSU and EMU is the dualthreat quarterback. EMU has one, the Cardinals don’t.

second-worst in the conference allowing 216.7 ypg. “While my gut tells me CMU would like to stay balanced, I’d be surprised if they don’t challenge us often through the air this week,” said Ball State head coach Pete Lembo. Enos said this week he’d like to stay balanced, as he has all year, but noted if CMU can take advantage through the air, they obviously would. His quarterback agreed. “Hopefully we can go out there and exploit their weaknesses,” Radcliff said. sports@cm-life.com

TRACIE SIVEC AND ERIN BATT [BATTING ZERO]

[YOUR VOICE] In response to “Academic transformation discussed at Academic Senate meeting; academic prioritization to be released within a week” UTFmember - Thursday Just a few weeks after Arum and Roksa presented their findings from Academically Adrift, arguing strongly and with strong evidence for an increase in rigor, writing, reading, and face-to-face pedagogy in college-level education, the Provost tries to force faculty into a program that would reduce class time, cut costs, and emphasize the sort of cheap, automated, multiple-choice curriculum which is largely responsible for students today getting As and Bs without actually learning anything in their classes. The A-Senate is right to resist this strongly. Cavataio’s suggestion that faculty concerns are “not addressed in the Academic Transformation documents” counts against, not for, those documents, which should be read with the care and scepticism we apply to advertising copy. In response to COLUMN: “Decision to ban holidays right move” Tay Owens - Thursday American schoolchildren spend more hours in school each day and have more homework than children in almost every other Western nation, including many which do far better than we do on performance indices. Part of the reason our schools are failing when compared with those of dozens of other countries is that we give children too much scattershot work rather than concentrating on more focused curricula and letting them have more free time to digest their lessons while just being kids. We should have more relaxed holiday time in schools, not less, surrounding more focused lessons. The other thing making America’s schools fail is mis-“educators” like Foley, who are responsible for making our curricula unfocused by overloading them with multicultural Central Michigan Life serves the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities, and is under the jurisdiction of the independent Student Media Board of Directors.

she said. STUDENT TEACHING Some teacher education students at CMU hope their experiences student-teaching will prepare them to establish their careers as they approach graduation. Crystal Falls senior Tyler Morkin is student-teaching French at Mount Pleasant High School. Morkin said in an email he plans to look for employment in Michigan after he graduates in December, but he ultimately plans to move out of state. His reasons for moving have more to do with the climate than anything else, but the school budget challenges and recent funding cuts to public education do not seem positive for teachers, he said. “This is unfortunately a problem in most states nationwide, however, so it’s not like I’d be able to dodge the bullet just by leaving Michigan,” he said. Morkin said he is not worried about employment because he is the coordinator for Learning Management Systems Instructional Support at CMU, but he

Class Jr. Jr.

Travis Freeman — MLB

Edwards is the featured running back in the Cardinals offense. He has almost double the carries that backup Barrington Scott has.

Freeman leads the Cardinals defense in tackles (65). He has a 34-yard interception and one sack this season.

Reason to watch: Edwards rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown in last week’s 23-20 win against Ohio. Expect more against CMU’s defense.

Reason to watch: He had four tackles last week, but he also recorded his first interception of the season. Look for him to be an enforcer for the Cardinals defense.

Paris Cotton — RB

Cody Wilson — WR Wilson is Mr. Consistent. He makes at least one catch a game and he leads this offense by example.
