Letter from department chairs critical of CMED Council asks for meeting with LCME

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

The Council of Chairs is requesting to meet with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation site team

to voice concerns about the College of Medicine, according to documents obtained by Central Michigan Life.

In a letter dated Oct. 19, the chairpeople of some 36 academic units at Central Michigan University listed multiple concerns about CMED. The letter was signed by Brigitte Bechtold, chairwoman of the Council of Chairs and the department of sociology, anthro-

pology and social work, and undersigned by the rest of the members.

The council wants to meet with the LCME when the site team visits campus Nov. 13 through 16.

Bechtold said she did not know who gave the letter to CM Life and would not comment further.

In the letter, Bechtold and the undersigned chairpeople and

members said the addition of a medical school did not receive campus-wide discussion before it was passed “almost clandestinely as an add-on agenda item at a meeting of the board of trustees in summer 2008.”

The council said the campus community’s involvement has been limited since the board of trustees approved CMED. It said CMU has not been able to raise significant new funds

for CMED, unlike Oakland University and Western Michigan University which have found success in fundraising for their new medical schools.

It appears unrestricted funds the university has accumulated from tuition increases and academic unit taxation are earmarked for CMED, the council said.

CCFA could see cuts after prioritization

By Catey Traylor Staff Reporter

FORUM

Editor’s note: This is the first story in a series about Academic Prioritization.

Seventeen majors or minors are being considered for consolidation or elimination in the College of Communication and Fine Arts.

Programs that received low ratings in the preliminary report of Academic Prioritization include acting and design concentrations in the theatre and interpretation program, the public affairs minor, music education, piano, speech education, organ, the photojournalism concentration of the journalism department and piano pedagogy.

Randi L’Hommedieu, school of music chairman, said he expected some of the lower ratings.

“Piano pedagogy is a highquality program, but there’s simply not room for it to be included in the graduate level,” L’Hommedieu said.

“Unlike other schools where standalone programs are part of a single degree, CMU historically did it separately. I truly believe the program will be stronger once it’s consolidated.”

The report gave piano pedagogy a 5, the lowest ranking, saying “High quality, but only three students enrolled. Requires specific courses. Not expected to grow.”

Provost Gary Shapiro released documents about Academic Prioritization Thursday. The report showed nearly one-third of academic programs could be targeted for cuts.

Shapiro will host an open forum about the report at 4 p.m. today in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

“Many individuals participated in determining the rankings,” said Shelly Hinck, associate dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts in an email. “The rankings are based from each de-

48 students help woman’s dream reunite foster-care siblings

By Mike Nichols | Senior Reporter

Cindy Vezinau had a dream of opening an inn to help fund nonprofit programs that reunite foster children with siblings.

Forty-eight Central Michigan University students traveled by bus on Friday to Rogers City to help make Vezinau’s dream a reality. Lorie Tuma, recreation parks and leisure services adjunct and friend of Vezinau, brought her LDR 200: Introduction to Leadership classes to help renovate the inn.

Vezinau will name it The Purple Martin Nature Center and Lakeside Inn, after the birds that frequently visit her in Rogers City. As a child, Vezinau said she would visit her grandmother in the bay town, where some of her favorite memories were formed.

Hinck said she hopes the recommendations will help the departments focus the direction of their programs and the courses they offer.

“Rankings were based on a multitude of factors including the importance and quality of the program as well as the opportunity for program growth and improvement,” she said.

Some CCFA students aren’t happy with the report.

Emily June, a Jenison junior, is working toward a bachelor of music in orchestral instruments.

She said she is upset with the results, specifically with the rating given to the music education program.

“I think the fact that music education got a low score is terrible because I would guess that a lot of music students at Central are music education students,” June said. “It doesn’t really make sense for it to get consolidated. If Central stops having a good music education program, they’re going to stop getting music students period.”

June also said the value placed on fine arts is lacking at Central Michigan University.

“Our university doesn’t value the arts,” June said. “It’s oriented toward sports, which doesn’t even make sense because our wind ensemble is A CUTS | 2A

“Rocky Horror” screenings draw big crowds Midnight shows sell out; attendees pledge to film’s ‘decadence’

By Jamie Favazza Staff Reporter

Rice and rubber gloves flew through the air as a scantily-dressed crowd chanted about group sex while dancing to “The Time Warp” this weekend.

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was on the big screen Friday and Saturday

at the “sexual temple,” otherwise known as the Broadway Theatre, 216 E. Broadway St. Before the show, audience members had to “pledge allegiance to the lips of ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and to the decadence for which it stands.”

The honorary theater fraternity Alpha Psi Omega organized the event and acted out the film in front of the screen for the fraternity’s biggest fundraiser of the year.

“The 8 p.m. showing had more people than last year

and we sold out (the midnight showing) Friday and Saturday night,” said Catherine Callahan, Saginaw senior and co-chairwoman of the event.

Callahan said the new additions to the show, such as the gender swap at 8 p.m. on Friday night, went over well with the audience.

“The new stuff is so fun to see,” Callahan said. “The audience has been fantastic, and their shout-outs are my favorite part.”

Xander Meyers, APO business manager and Bloomfield Hills senior, acted as Dr. Frank-N-Furt-

er at 8 p.m. Friday and attended Saturday night.

“There aren’t words for the event,” Meyers said.

“It’s a night you’ll never forget and if you’ve never been before, it can be quite a shock. My dad had never seen it before and he was very taken aback.”

Oscoda sophomore Sam Legere made the pledge Saturday night for the consecutive year.

“I went last year and it was extremely fun,” she said.

“I’ll come back the whole time I’m in Mount Pleasant.”

The broadcast and cinematic arts major was one of only two programs that received ratings of “1,” while 27 of 53 total BCA programs received a rating of “3,” which indicates a neutral level of support.

“Prioritizing using a number scale is interesting,” said South Lyon sophomore Catherine Kelley. “I wonder what criteria the provost uses to rank these things because if you’re doing something as drastic as cutting or combining a program, it seems like you would need to consider a lot of variables and a one to five ranking system seems kind of silly.”

“The whole thing may not be a completely thorough exercise,” Yin said.

She said she hopes costs can be cut without sacrificing the quality of the academic programs.

“If that can be done that’s great, but I’m hoping cutting cost is not cutting corners,” Yin said. “We are educating the future of this country and we don’t want to short-change this.”

Kelley said more thought should go into ranking programs.

“The popularity of the programs, extracurriculars that the programs put on and how the campus benefits from the program should be considered,” Kelley said. “I don’t think it’s fair to just look at statistics on paper, especially when you’re dealing with people’s majors and minors.” university@cm-life.com

The administration has been able to save “minuscule sums of money” by not extending the faculty contract that expired June 30, the letter states. It also said the administration has pushed to exclude CMED faculty from the Faculty Association bargaining unit, which would create different classes of faculty.

It said the CMED dean and associate deans do not attend semi-monthly Academic Senate meetings, further adding to the perception of separation between CMED and other campus units. The Academic Senate is the university’s body of joint governance over the curriculum, which

includes CMED. The council said other campus units have received budget reductions at the expense of CMED that are likely to diminish CMU’s overall academic standing, including inadequate resources, higher tax rates on gross tuition revenues and a reduction in tenured and tenure-track faculty.

It said faculty are concerned their programs are being “bled excessively” to pay for CMED. CMU Board of Trustees Chairwoman Sarah Opperman declined comment since she said she was unfamiliar with the letter, and had a lack of background knowledge on the subject.

back to the past “The Robber Bridegroom” demands endurance, enthusiasm from cast

By Chad Mitchell | Staff Reporter

Howell junior Elly Mikula said the cast of “The Robber Bridegroom” will impress the audience with both their performance and endurance.

Mikula, who will play Salome in the University Theatre’s upcoming production, said the entire cast is on stage for the whole show, acting, singing and dancing.

“We don’t ever really get a break,” Mikula said.

“But it looks great and I think the audience will really enjoy it.”

Howell junior Elly Mikula said the cast of “The Robber Bridegroom” will impress the audience with both their performances and endurance.

Director Annette Thornton, an assistant professor of communication and dramatic arts, said she is confident in the cast.

“They’re bringing a youthful, optimistic energy to the process,” she said, “that’s what is exciting.”

Thornton said she likes to tell stories and this is a great one to tell. The story depicts citizens of presentday Rodney, Miss. telling the stories of their ancestors. The setting of the story then shifts “to 1795 as the residents portray their ancestors in the tale of Jamie Lockhart, both gentleman and robber, and Rosamund, the beautiful and naive daughter of wealthy Clement Musgrove,” according to the University Theatre website.

“The music is beautiful,” Thorton said. “The show has very touching and very funny parts. It has something for everybody.”

Thornton said the show is a little unconventional, but not in a way that is off-putting. She said some parents might not think it’s suitable for children, but it’s nothing they haven’t seen on TV. Mikula said the show will appeal to a variety of people.

“The beauty of this show is that there are a lot of different age groups,” she said. “I think the audience will find at least one character they can relate to

Fair showcases info for people with diabilities About 300 attend event at Finch Fieldhouse

By Danielle Cywka Staff Reporter

Playing with dogs and riding horses are just two therapies available to those with disabilities.

The Disability Awareness Fair was held Saturday in Finch Fieldhouse, showcasing treatments and speakers.

Director of DeafBlind Central Beth Kennedy put on the fair for the third year. She said she believes each year the fair gets bigger and better.

“I see the vendors and information booths learning about one another, as well as providing resources,” she said. “I hope that this fair has somehow left an impact on everyone here.”

Kennedy said about 300 people attended this year.

Housing more than 50 information booths and vendors, the fair showcased resources for people with disabilities and those who care for or live with them.

The Mount Pleasant Kennel

Club Tale-Waggers, a group that improves literacy of children by having them read to dogs, participated at the fair.

“We were invited to the fair because of the therapy work we do,” said Cathy Kennedy, a dog owner and participant in TaleWaggers. “The kids get a chance to read to the dogs and pet them in a stress-free environment.”

Kennel Club member Diane Gaw explained the dogs’ therapeutic value.

“When the kids read to the dogs, there’s no pressure or adults to correct them,” she said.

“The dogs can’t judge them on their reading skills and it’s a great way for kids with speech disabilities to practice speaking.”

The dogs make visits to local libraries, as well as the Charles V. Park Library, and often come to residence halls during exam week to provide stress relief.

“Research shows there’s actually an endorphin released when you pet dogs that releases stress,” Kennedy said. “That’s why they’re so great for therapy.”

HopeWell Ranch, a horse therapy farm in Weidman, presented the benefits of therapeutic riding. Reaching out mostly to kids, the ranch takes in any type of disability, whether it be

physical, mental, emotional or behavioral.

“As soon as the kids step out of the vehicle, they enter a peaceful atmosphere with calm volunteers who give them individualized attention,” said Bonnie Pitts, who works with the children and the horses at the ranch. “Riding helps the kids build confidence and self-esteem as well as body strength.”

Chicago freshman Traci Bian-

chi volunteered at the fair.

“I have to get involved with special education kids as part of my special education class,” she said, “and instead of sitting and observing a class, I decided to take a more hands-on approach because I thought it would be fun to be able to interact with the kids and step into their world and get a better idea of their lives.” studentlife@cm-life.com

G.I. Jobs Magazine ranked Central Michigan University in the top 20 percent of military-friendly universities for the third year in a row.

CMU has offered a tuition discount since 2001 for veterans enrolled in select off-campus and online programs.

“Central began this discount as a way of thanking military members for their service to our country and recognizing the opportunity provided to CMU by the Department of Defense in allowing us to offer classes on military installations,” said Steve Rellinger, director of the Veterans Resource Center.

Veterans in approved offcampus and online programs pay only $263 per credit hour for covered undergraduate programs and $288 for graduate programs as opposed to the usual $359 paid by other students.

“The discount is really helpful,” said a Midland veteran receiving the discount, who wished to remain anonymous. “Transitioning back to regular life is hard, and being able to rely on a university to offer a discounted tuition rate is really a dream come true.”

About 1,400 students in CMU’s off-campus operations received the military discount for the fall 2011 semester — about 5 percent of total students.

“The discount is geared toward veterans off-campus,” Rellinger said. “We have a large number of students taking advantage of this opportunity.”

In addition to a tuition discount, CMU offers a number of scholarships and additional financial assistance oppor-

tunities for both military and Department of Defense students.

“I qualified for the U.S. Armed Forces Textbook Award and received it last semester,” the veteran said. “It helped out tremendously and opportunities like that make it possible for me to attend a major university.”

The Veteran’s Benefits News and Information Organization also ranked CMU 10th in the top 25 military-friendly colleges and universities in Michigan in 2011.

“CMU is dedicated to helping students from all branches of the military reach their potential with a world-class education,” said Tim Lavelle, a contributing writer to the organization.

Rellinger said he is proud CMU offers classroom instruction at 22 bases across the U.S. “Being a veteran myself, I have a soft spot for the topic, but I truly believe that thanking our veterans is important and CMU has started programs to thank our vets across the U.S.,” he said.

CMU is designated as a “Yellow Ribbon School” by the Department of Veterans Affairs and has been recognized as a military-friendly school by the Military Advanced Education Magazine four years in a row.

“Central is a great place for vets,” the Midland veteran said. “I’ve felt really welcome from day one and the attitude of gratitude for what we’ve done is mind blowing.”

The Veterans Resource Center, located in Warriner Hall, offers academic advising, scholarship and educational opportunities and support in making the transition from active duty to everyday life.

“Through the programs and support offered, CMU proves time and time again that veterans are welcome on their campus and encouraged to attend,” Lavelle said. university@cm-life.com

Number of Centralis hopefuls rising More than 1,000 scholars competed Saturday

By Shelby Miller Staff Reporter

Forty-four of the more than 1,000 high school seniors who competed to earn the annual Centralis scholarship Saturday will enroll at Central Michigan University.

The scholarship gives students a full-ride to CMU, priced at more than $86,000.

Seniors with GPAs of 3.5 or higher are eligible to compete.

Honors Program Director Phame Camarena said over the past five years there has been an increase of high school students participating for the scholarship and recently more students who are awarded the scholarship decide to attend CMU. “It is an increasing trend,” Camarena said. “People are recognizing the scholarship and that CMU is a good academic school to come to for a college career.”

Camarena said the scholarship is an important part of the recruitment process.

Of the 1,650 to 2,150 students who compete for the scholarship each year, about 44 percent of competitors enroll at CMU as first-year students, Camarena said.

“Historically, the majority of students receiving the scholarship decide to come to CMU,” Camarena said.

Novi senior Rob Low was

awarded the Centralis Scholarship in 2008 after applying in the fall of his senior year of high school.

After only applying to CMU and Michigan State University, Low said he planned on attending CMU without the scholarship, but the award solidified his choice.

“CMU offered me more scholarships and I thought their broadcasting department would give me better options,” Low said.

However, Low said the scholarship was not as hard to get as he thought it would be, because there were not as many people applying for it as he originally assumed.

“I was definitely surprised that I was awarded the scholarship,” Low said. “I did not think that the essay I wrote that day was very good.”

Two different Centralis scholarship values will be awarded to the top 40 to 44 incoming 2012 freshman, depending on the content of the submitted essays, Camarena said.

“Scholarships are renewable if the student maintains a 3.25 cumulative GPA, stays in satisfactory progress and meets the honors protocol requirements,” said Rebekah Schaub, assistant director of Financial Aid. Saturday was the first Centralis competition of the year and two more competitions will be held on Nov. 19 and Dec. 2.

Final scholarship decisions will be made in January and scholarship recipients will be notified in early February. university@cm-life.com

VOICES Monday, Oct. 31, 2011

GUEST COLUMN Editor’s Note: Throughout the semester Central Michigan Life will run a guest column by Student Government President Vince Cavataio detailing work in SGA. For many years the Student Government Association has lacked a venue to disseminate important updates. It is my sincere hope that our partnership with Central Michigan Life will allow SGA to engage students. During my campaign I consistently orated the adaptation of SGA to the needs of our majority, inherently asserting relevance throughout our student body.

I am proud to say that during the past nine weeks our members have worked admirably to represent the students.

On Oct. 17 Brad O’Donnell, governmental affairs Committee chair and SGA senator, introduced a resolution to Central Michigan University SGA to support Michigan Senate Bill 258 and Michigan House Bill 4372.

These bills would protect minors who require or are assisting those who require medical attention while intoxicated. The resolution passed unanimously in the SGA House and Senate.

On Oct. 24 Justin Gawronski, diversity committee chairman and SGA senator, introduced a resolution to the SGA to oppose Michigan House Bill 4770 and to support the equal treatment of employees and their partners. Michigan H.B. 4770 would end benefits for unmarried partners working at public institutions in Michigan, including CMU. Both of these resolutions support the CMU community and have been determined as exceedingly important by our student body.

Outside of resolutions, the SGA Legal Clinic is under the direction of Christopher Armelagos, a graduate student at CMU. Christopher is working to align the legal clinic with a more stringent foundation for a successful future. In the process, the Center for Professional and Personal Ethics is providing the legal clinic a stable home.

Another concern that students have long-criticized CMU for is the minimal Charles V. Park Library operating hours. I have personally been working with Dean of Libraries Thomas Moore to form a plan that allows for a trial period, extending the hours of the Park Library.

Currently, we are working to determine the demands of students as well as the cost for this improvement.

Before the end of the semester there will be an open forum for students to communicate ideas and needs to Moore. On a side note, the willingness of Moore to ensure student success in this project is sincerely encouraging.

University President George Ross has also taken this concern to another level with the operating hours and offerings of the Bovee University Center.

Although this is all preliminary, we will be working to encourage dialogue throughout the student body.

Finally, I am working with Antonio Brown’s agent, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, to establish a scholarship event with SGA and RSOs. For details on this event, watch for coverage in the coming weeks from CM Life.

There are various other projects going on throughout our committees, such as an undergraduate research journal, extension of engineering computer lab hours, membership rule changes, sustainability education with the Student Environmental Alliance, bylaw and constitutional amendments, and the availability of online audits and major-signing.

I’d like to thank CM Life again for this opportunity and I look forward to the next update.

EDITORIAL | More time deserved between prioritization report’s release, forum

Analyzing Academics A

process of more than one year came to completion Thursday when Provost Gary Shapiro released the preliminary report of Academic Prioritization.

In the report, Shapiro recommended about one-third of academic programs be either eliminated or receive less funding.

The evaluation was originally scheduled to be published in January, but the date was repeatedly pushed back to this month.

It seemed Shapiro already had a pretty good idea of where his recommendations would fall after meeting with departments, it was just a matter of putting it in writing.

After reviewing the documents, it seems there are no hugely significant cuts, which begs the question, why did it take so long to publish the report?

Shapiro will take questions during an open forum at 4 p.m. today in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium, a mere four days after the release of the report.

This is hardly enough time for students and staff to analyze the information presented and form substantial questions about the material that directly affects their careers or educations.

What is the point of extending the release date, to make sure the recommendations are clear and well-described, if no one has enough time to understand the document?

The argument may be, in order to address concerns as soon as possible, the forum was planned for several days after the release

date.

A period of about one or two weeks would have been a more reasonable amount of time for people to digest the information and realize legitimate concerns rather than instant, surface-level complaints.

To help reduce clarifications Shapiro will most likely have to address at the forum, there should have been a heavier emphasis placed on explaining in the document why certain areas are planned to be eliminated or receive less funding. A sentence doesn’t give much insight.

If the administration claims it is focused on improving transparency, it must show it by clarifying to everyone exactly where the university stands and what the rationale is behind cutting certain programs.

This idea of transparency is diminished even further by the requirement of a username and password to gain access to the Academic Prioritization report.

Students’ parents, alumni and the taxpayers who help fund this public university have as much or more of a right to know the academic priorities of this university as anyone else.

Closing programs students show no interest in and reducing those that are unpopular makes sense, but those small recommendations seem to be the only

changes shown.

However, the No. 1 priority is evident in the report — the College of Medicine.

Categorized with a ranking of 1, CMED is described as, “New program. First students expected Summer 2013. Will meet critical societal need.”

CMED has only raised a fraction of its funding and departments across campus are displaying vocal opposition.

This may be the administration’s No. 1 priority, but it is not No. 1 for Central Michigan University as a whole.

The administration knows it’s skating on thin ice with faculty, staff and students, so sticking to little cuts across campus was most likely a decision to appease them for the time being.

The release of Academic Prioritization is a time to re-evaluate the state of university funds, and an opportunity to wholly analyze what should remain a part of education at CMU. It seems CMED is at the forefront of administrator’s minds, so everything else was simply skimmed over and given little thought.

If there was no CMED, would we be in the shape we are in today?

What programs would have been targeted for expansion if CMED did not exist?

Maybe the proposed cuts wouldn’t even be necessary.

CMU needs to determine if having a medical school, funded by cuts to other programs, is how we want to be defined by as a university.

A job with meaning

This month has been labeled as Disability Awareness Month, but my awareness came this summer.

This summer I was able to snag a job as a camp counselor in Grand Rapids. The camp is dedicated to give those with disabilities an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

This opportunity gave me the meaning I was searching for in a job.

During my very first night, there was a camper who slept in the cabin two other counselors and I were responsible for. This camper’s habit was spitting on the sidewalk and rubbing it with his hand until it was gone. The camper would get out of bed to open the front door to spit on the sidewalk, slam the door shut and walk back to bed.

He did this quite often.

The other counselors and I figured he would eventually tire himself out, but after two hours, we realized we had to do something.

We tried to move a dresser in front of the door, which the camper just moved out of the way. We tried standing in front of the door to block him, but he just stood there and screamed, keeping the other campers awake. We eventually took the camper to a separate building, where the three of us took shifts throughout the entire night keeping an eye on him.

That night was when I first realized working with those who have disabilities is not always the easiest task.

As the days went by at camp, I learned more and more about how to make the campers I have meaningful experiences. Whether it was paddle-boating with them on the lake, sitting with them during a breakdown or challenging them to a game of checkers, these campers were experiencing activities and opportunities they normally wouldn’t have had in their day-today lives.

One of the campers would tell me every day how glad he was I was there and how he loved having me as a friend. I also heard from the camp nurse about another camper I had whose mom told her the main topic at the dinner table was “O” (my nickname).

Everybody is aware of people who have disabilities in one way or another, but not everybody is fully aware of their challenges, as well as those of the family and friends who take care of them.

Even fewer people realize they can have a big influence on their lives.

As the keychain I got from the camp says, “One person can make a difference.”

I was kind of a self-conscious kid when I was in middle school.

So I wasn’t eager to go out trick-or-treating with my friend one Halloween because I thought we were too old, but he eventually convinced me.

We went out into the night around 7 p.m. and I remember nearly every moment: The early dusk of late Michigan autumn, feeling just a bit too warm in my leather jacket — which, together with sunglasses and my long hair brushed over my face, was a total cop-out Cousin-Ittjoins-a-biker-gang costume — and hollering faux-obscenities at the annoying neighbor girls.

the world need a night where they can go out, raise just a little bit of hell and end it in a pile of candy wrappers and a hyperglycemic coma.

Call it candy welfare if you want, but we owe it to them. A lot of things have changed since my parents and even myself hit the bricks for Pixy Stix, but no video game or social networking site can drop a couple chocolates in your bag in exchange for braving a spooky yard of plastic gore and depravity.

So do the youth a favor — if you’ve got the cash, get a bag or three of cavity-cronies and don’t be stingy with the handouts. If you’ve got kids old enough to look both ways before they cross the street, give them a flashlight and send them on their way.

Their blood sugar will return to normal eventually.

Plymouth freshman Josh Perrin is reflected off of an old mirror as he refills his staple gun Friday afternoon at The Purple Martin Nature Center and Lakeside Inn, 194 Depot Road. The students’ goal was to help local business owners renovate their establishment as well as create social change.

INN | CONTINUED FROM 1A

CMU students dance in the middle of an intersection to Van McCoy’s disco classic “Do The Hustle,” during a flash mob Friday afternoon at the corner of Third and Erie streets in Rogers City. Each student devoted the last 10 minutes of every Friday class period practicing their dance moves in hopes of inspiring the residents of the city.

“A lot of us really had a great time and saw how successful it was. They knew if we came back it would be so much more successful and so much better.”

Konnor Robinson, Westland freshman

Students work together to lift sheets of metal siding outside of the inn on Friday afternoon at The Purple Martin Nature Center and Lakeside Inn, 194 Depot Road. About 50 students arrived on a chartered bus, for which they raised the funds themselves, prepared to work for the entire day on the project.

Tuma said since the students have to complete six hours of service for the course, the project fulfilled that and allowed them an opportunity to bond.

Students raised money for the bus, provided at a discount by the bus owner, with a bake sale.

After a quick tour of Rogers City, home of the largest limestone quarry in the world, students were split into three work groups — interior, arbor and mason.

The interior group spent its time inside the inn painting walls and putting up insulation. The rock group helped put stones around foundation pillars. The arbor group worked outside putting together the walls for what will eventually be a grape arbor.

Leslie freshman Garrett Kanik had previous experience with carpentry, which he said helped in this project. He spent the day cutting wood, nailing up boards and designing the arbor entrance.

They started with a pile of wood and ended with a halfcompleted arbor, Kanik said.

“It was pretty fun,” he said.

“It was definitely worth our time coming out here.”

‘THE HUSTLE’ Students had one more surprise for Rogers City — its first flash mob.

Tuma had been teaching them “The Hustle” by disco writer Van McCoy in preparation for this trip.

“Usually we’d practice the last 10 minutes of class every Friday for the past three weeks,” said Grand Rapids sophomore Brooke Manikowski. “We wanted to get the town pumped and have a surprise for them.”

At about 3:30 p.m., the students marched downtown to perform under the only stop light in the county. An article in the Presque Isle County Advance newspaper had “warned” the town that the flash mob would take place, drawing a crowd of about 100

to come and watch.

The town cheered as the students twirled, strutted and clapped in unison to the music. Many locals joined in on the dancing.

Many students agreed this moment was their highlight.

“The flash mob was amazing,” said Bay City freshman Brook Bernreuter. “When’s the last time anyone got to dance in the street in Rogers City?”

After meeting townspeople and taking photos, students headed back to the bus, but not without free Purple Martin T-shirts, a cookie and one last hug from Vezinau.

Vezinau said she hopes to open the inn next year and said the students have helped bring that date closer.

“They’re a breath of fresh air

into this community and into me,” she said.

Many students expressed desires to return and help Vezinau complete the project.

Konnor Robinson, a Westland freshman, told Vezinau he wants to come back and help finish the job.

“A lot of us really had a great time and saw how successful it was,” Robinson said. “They knew if we came back it would be so much more successful and so much better.”

Tuma told her students she could not be more proud of them.

“This was absolutely a career highlight for me,” Tuma said. “It’s one of the best trips I’ve ever been on.” studentlife@cm-life.com

A pair of outgrown work boots are recycled as shoe flower pots in the front yard of The Purple Martin Nature Center and Lakeside Inn, 194 Depot Road. “I was greening long before everyone else started,” said Cindy Vezinau, the owner of the new Rogers City inn.

achieved by a Central Michigan runner in three years.

Director of cross-country and track and field Willie Randolph was pleased that all the hard work that Adams put in has paid off.

“Tec had a really strong race. He really worked for it,” Randolph said.

“He ran a very tactical race today. He put in a lot of hard work this season.”

When Adams arrived on campus, Randolph knew he had potential.

“We’ve known since day one how much talent Tec had,” Randolph said. “He had a lot of potential, but it was just getting him to become balanced. It is really great and exciting to see it come together for

him.”

Assistant coach Matt Kaczor was one of the coaches that helped bring out that potential.

“It’s never a guarantee on who will take first,” Kaczor said. “Tec has had quite the progression this season and we knew coming into the MAC championships that Tec had a good shot at the title.”

Randolph predicted this meet could be an epic battle between CMU and Eastern Michigan and his prediction came true.

The Chippewas finished second to last at the MAC Championships last year. It was a different story this year with the team finishing second.

The Eagles took first place again, beating CMU by ten points.

“This was definitely an epic battle again,” Randolph said. “The last mile was so close between the teams. It came down to who made fewer mistakes and they were able to place ahead of us.”

CMU improved its MAC championship score from last year by 65 points.

CMU placed six runners in the top 30.

Junior Jason Drudge had another All-MAC performance, finishing sixth with a time of 24:41.

FOOTBALL

Disaster was averted Saturday as the Central Michigan football team dodged another second-half collapse against Akron.

The Chippewas had another second half meltdown, but this time they were able to hold on, beating the Zips 23-22.

The game changer came in the third quarter when Akron went for two after its first touchdown, but failed to convert. After the game, Zips head coach Rob Ianello said that it was a call by the holder, junior quarterback Patrick Nicely.

Akron decided to go for two after scoring a touchdown on the final play of regulation, trailing by one, but the attempt was incomplete.

“I thought we played extremely well for three quarters,” said head coach Dan Enos. “Our special teams were great and offensively we were in and out.”

It was a slow start to get anything going for the CMU offense, but they found some stability in the running game.

The CMU offense was controlled by the play of freshman running back Anthony Garland, who ran for 141 yards on 19 carries.

He had a highlight-reel run at the end of the first half when CMU appeared to be running out the clock, content with a 10-0 halftime lead. However, Garland had other ideas, breaking off a 58-yard run, giving his team some much need breathing room.

“I consider myself a humble guy and I have to thank the offensive line,” Garland said. “I ran behind them and they ate up the yards with me.”

David Harman converted on an 18-yard field goal on that drive, giving the Chippewas a 13-0 lead.

Enos has multiple running backs that opposing defenses need to prepare to stop.

“It helps us tremendously and if we ever get Paris (Cotton) healthy again, that will help because he is a different kind of back,” Enos

Vollleyball sees loses twice during weekend games against WMU, NIU

By Nicholas Conklin Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan volleyball team found itself on the wrong side of the victory column twice this weekend.

Western Michigan and Northern Illinois, two top-tier Mid-American Conference opponents visited McGuirk arena, but both matches ended in similar fashion, with back-to-back 3-1 losses.

The Chippewas (14-8, 7-5 MAC) began the weekend against No. 34 WMU (19-5, 8-2).

Although the Chippewas managed to push WMU to extra points in the final set (28-26), they lost the three previous sets 2522, 25-18 and 25-22.

Senior Kaitlyn Schultz and freshman Kaitlyn McIntyre led the team in kills (20) and sophomore Danielle Gotham had 16.

Schultz bumped her season total to 163 kills, which is good enough for third-best on the team.

WMU opened with a 10-8 lead, before CMU was able get within one point (22-21).

However, errors and missed opportunities cost the Chippewas the first set, falling 25-22.

The Broncos jumped out to a five-point

lead in the second set and capitalized on tipped balls, winning 25-18. Miscues and missed opportunities Friday in the set were a source of some headaches for head coach Erik Olson, who said his team fell into WMU’s game plan.

“We fell into Westerns hands a little too much in sets one and two with just an overall Saturday lack of aggressiveness,” he said.

Olson said part of WMU’s strategy was to keep the ball in play as much as possible, essentially canceling out the strong blocking of CMU’s frontline.

The Chippewas made a strong statement in the third set after a few substitutions. Juniors Val Deweerd and Katie Schuette provided a boost for the team, combining for nine kills in the set.

His only mistake came on an interception by senior defensive back John Carr in the CMU end zone late in the first half.

Freshmen continue to make impact for football Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

The freshmen continue to have a big role this season for the Central Michigan football team.

A total of 14 freshmen made an impact on the game Saturday afternoon in Akron, Ohio.

“We came in this summer not looking to redshirt,” said running back Anthony Garland. “We came together and said we were going to work hard for these other guys that have been here for three or four years.”

Whether it was special teams, in the backfield, catching passes, on the line, with the linebackers or defending the pass, a Chippewa freshman was there to make a play.

The place CMU has hurt the most this season is in its backfield. Senior Paris Cotton is out and Zurlon Tipton missed a majority of the season with a foot injury.

Garland expected to redshirt, but with the injuries was forced into the role and has impressed, especially this week after he carried the ball 19 times for 141 yards.

“I look up to Zurlon (Tipton) and Paris (Cotton), they’re like my big brothers and I try to imitate what they do,” Garland said. “I want to play for them. I know sometimes they’re incapable with

injuries and I want to be the guy they can depend on.”

There have been injuries to upperclassmen and a freshman has come up in their place.

Senior defensive captains linebacker Mike Petrucci and lineman John Williams have been in and out of the lineup all season, giving a chance for freshmen linebackers Cody Lopez, Mike Kinville and lineman Matt

Losinecki to step up.

The trio came up with eight tackles against the Zips.

Center Andy Phillips and tackle Kevin Henry, both freshmen stepped in with the offensive line banged up and allowed junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff to stay on his feet and make plays with his arm.

CMU needs to learn how to finish games

ood teams know when the opponent is struggling and falling behind.

Good teams then step on their throat and don’t let up, not allowing any motivation or hope to get back in the game.

Central Michigan instead helps the team back on its feet, giving the opponent a chance to come back.

The Chippewas won for the first time since Oct. 1, partly because of two failed twopoint conversions by Akron, arguably the worst team in the Mid-American Conference.

The Chippewas must learn how to put their cleats into an opponent’s throat, stomp on it and then twist it.

CMU has had opportunities to do so, but hasn’t.

CMU was up 17-0 against Ball State last week and ended up losing.

The Chippewas were up two touchdowns with less than three minutes left Saturday, but gave it all away.

Akron could have kicked the extra point to put the game into overtime, but decided to throw it for the win, which earned it the loss.

Akron went for two earlier in the game and the trick play was stuffed up the middle.

If the Zips kicked the extra point both times, CMU would have lost 24-23.

Silly Zips, extra points come after touchdowns. The Chippewas should thank the Zips for squandering a chance at another meltdown.

CMU led at Kentucky and competed at half against North Carolina State before not showing up for the second half.

Akron is bad. It has lost 20-of-23 MAC games. Come on CMU, you have to win that game, not have them hand it to you.

Granted, Ryan Radcliff and the CMU offense didn’t turn the ball over like some of the complete collapses, against N.C. State, Kentucky and Ball State.

But three-and-outs as well as a defensive prevent that let Akron walk down the field

allowed for an opportunity at spoiling a CMU win.

I predicted a big win for CMU, but actually thought the team could play four quarters.

I should now know it can’t put a full game together.

The Chippewas play another MAC dweller in Kent State Friday and need to play a full game and win to prove the team isn’t a MAC dweller itself.

CMU needs to get a lead and keep it in throttle to show it has made improvements from last year’s three-win season.

Beat Kent State then upset Ohio or Toledo and minor improvements will be made.

Wins against South Carolina State, Akron and Northern Illinois can’t be your only victories.

Especially since CMU could have, possibly should have, lost two of them.

This team has shown promise and how explosive it can be. The Chippewas just need to show it for a full game, then they will pick up wins — without having the game handed to them.

Radcliff had good time to throw. I’d say they did pretty well,” said head coach Dan Enos.

Radcliff used the time given, to throw 17 completions for 191 yards and a touchdown. Freshmen were on the receiving end of those 11 completions for 117 yards and a touchdown.

Courtney Williams came down with a touchdown after a two-yard slant after he broke

Randolph knew how focused Drudge was coming into the race.

“He was really working hard in practice,” Randolph said. “He came in today really focused. Jason should be really excited after having back-to-back All-MAC performances at the MAC championships.”

Randolph and Kaczor both agreed that the team effort was great.

Sophomore Nathan Huff finished 17th with a time of 24:59. Junior Matt Lutzke finished 25th with a time of 25:12.

Randolph knows this is one step in building the program.

“All the coaches here do a great job of recruiting and working with the runners,” Randolph said. “We are a very young team and have everyone coming back. These young men are starting to mature and are heading in the right direction. They came so close to winning it all today. We are looking ahead now to the next race because we have unfinished business.”

free in the first quarter for 27 of his team-leading 53 yards.

Meanwhile Titus Davis lead the team in receptions with four, keeping drives alive for the Chippewa offense.

“I never would have predicted at the beginning of

the season that we’d have this many guys play,” Enos said. “(Courtney) Williams and (Titus) Davis looked like veterans today and they’ll continue to get better and better.”

WOMEN CMU’s women’s cross-country team finished in the same position as the men’s team with a second place at the MAC championships Saturday in Muncie, Ind. It was the second year in a row that the women’s team finished as the runner-up.

The Chippewas were led by junior runner Charnele Lyons.

She finished in sixth place with a time of 21:13.9.

Randolph said it’s the first time in CMU history the women’s cross-country team has been back-to-back runner-ups in the MAC championships.

He said the team felt fine during the drive back to Mount Pleasant.

“They’re fine right now,” he said. “Of course, they’re a little

bit down. The ‘shoulda, coulda, woulda’ pops in your mind, but right now they’re fine.”

Toledo won the championships with a score of 33. Four of its runners finished in the top 10. CMU scored a 73.

“It just wasn’t the day it was supposed to happen,” Randolph said about the team’s second-place finish. “There are just things that didn’t come into place. The women raced really well. They gave everything they had. They ran really well with the pack, which is what we focused on all year. The Chips fell just a little bit short this year.”

The unfinished business for the cross-country teams begins Nov. 12 at the NCAA Regionals in Toledo, Ohio.

Volleyball faces tough end Field hockey enters MAC

Tournament as No. 3 seed

By Jeff LaHaye Staff Reporter

Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

M

y cheeks stay red in the cold.

Even when I’m inside, they stay red, like I’m still embarrassed by a racy joke my roommate told me a few weeks ago.

Then I went to McGuirk Arena to cover volleyball during the weekend.

The color drained from my face.

Central Michigan (14-10, 7-6 Mid-American Conference) lost 3-1 against No. 23 Northern Illinois (22-5, 11-2 MAC) on Saturday, CMU’s Senior Night.

CMU also lost 3-1 Friday against No. 34 Western Michigan (21-5, 10-2 MAC).

The Chippewas did not win their last two home matches of the season.

It wasn’t the losses or the stats that drained my face. In arguably its toughest weekend of matches this season, CMU made it very difficult for the Huskies or the Broncos to win.

My face drained at the thought of an upset. Meanwhile, the faces of the CMU players never drained — they screamed and celebrated each point they scored. Their faces reddened and their eyes grew wild when they scored a point, especially after a kill, rightfully named.

The Chippewas scored many kills throughout the weekend, 124 to be exact. From courtside, I also felt under the spike.

LOSS| CONTINUED FROM 1B

nine kills in the set. McIntyre also added nine kills. CMU went on to win its one and only set, 25-22.

Sophomore Kelly Maxwell contributed with a matchhigh 68 assists.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS No. 23 Northern Illinois (205, 8-2) defeated the Chippewas in four sets, 25-23, 22-25, 25-18 and 25-20.

CMU took an early lead in set one, with kills by Schultz and McIntyre.

Although the lead never broke more than two or three points by either squad, the intensity on CMU’s side was something noticed by Schultz.

The lack of aggressive play was what Schultz attributed to the slow start on Friday, but

Junior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude hits the ball as junior defensive specialist Samantha Brawley watches on Saturday night at McGurik Arena during the volleyball game versus Northern Illinois University. Central lost 3-1 to Northern Illinois.

In the first two sets against each opponent, an upset seemed likely.

On the bright side, CMU head coach Erik Olson said after Saturday’s loss that the team can play with the top teams in the conference.

But, Olson said, there’s one important element the team has to work on.

“We need to learn to be more consistent in being aggressive,” he said.

The lack of aggression was underscored by CMU’s low set hitting percentages. In Friday’s match against the Broncos, CMU’s hit percentage in four sets was .297.

WMU’s was .328.

Against NIU, CMU’s hit percentage was .185, while NIU’s was .236.

“We had some great moments, and some not-so-great

moments,” said sophomore defensive specialist Jenna Coates.

The teams split the first two sets, but the Huskies won the next two sets to win the match.

The remaining schedule is away games, including a Nov. 12 match against Ball State, what is unbeaten at home.

CMU’s biggest blemish over the weekend was losing momentum and aggression for short periods of time.

They lost a few points here and there to errors. In these times, CMU was mercy to small rallies that extended NIU and WMU leads. The Chippewas couldn’t produce enough rallies for themselves.

did not carry over to Saturday.

“We Just decided to become more aggressive (after set one),” Schultz said. We just have to be more aggressive than we were in the first two games (on Friday), because we just felt really non-existent.”

Ties were recorded eight different times within set one, but CMU lost 25-23.

The Chippewas began the second set with a 4-1 point advantage before the Huskies pushed it to 20-19. Juniors Lindsey Dulude and Deweerd both contributed kills that helped them win 25-22.

They jumped to an early lead (4-2) in set three, but the Huskies sophomore outside hitter Lauren Wicinski was too much for CMU to handle, and it fell 25-18.

Dulude propelled it to a lead in the fourth set behind three-straight service points.

The theme of back-and-forth

scoring continued, but the Chippewas lost the final set 25-20.

Defensively, CMU combined for 12 blocks and 22 digs, something sophomore Jenna Coates (nine digs) said helped slow the fast pace and power hitting of NIU. McIntyre provided a spark with a team-high15 kills on the night. Maxwell contributed 35 assists, pushing her weekend total to 103.

McIntyre said that the speed the Huskies played was different than what it has seen from other opponents this season.

“Both of those teams are great opponents to play, so I think it was a good learning experience and next time we will be better,” McIntyre said.

CMU’s next match is against Eastern Michigan (19-6, 7-3) at 7 p.m.Thursday. sports@cm-life.com

This was the last opportunity to gain momentum and solidify the second seed in the Mid-American Conference Tournament next week for the Central Michigan field hockey team.

After Saturday’s 2-1 overtime loss to Kent State, CMU needed to win Sunday against Ohio to keep its second seed ranking in the MAC. They couldn’t do it losing 0-1 against Ohio.

The Chippewas shut down the MAC’s highest scoring offense in the first half, but failed to score and were only able to create two shots.

“Our defense did a great job at containing Ohio,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “We made some mistakes, but playing higher-caliber teams such as Kent State and Ohio before the MAC Tournament will help us down the stretch.”

The Bobcat offense started to create more scoring opportunities during the second half and set up for a corner oppor-

tunity. The ball was deflected and rebounded to Ohio junior Andrea Biegalski as the ball came in from the corner. She shot it past CMU goalkeeper Anastasia Netto for the first goal of the game and Biegalski’s second goal of the season.

Ohio’s Taylor Brown was given a yellow card with less than six minutes remaining in the game, giving CMU an 11-on-10 advantage for the final five minutes. The Chippewas were unable to produce a shot on the advantage. CMU earned a penalty corner with four seconds, but failed to execute and for the fifth time this season, was held scoreless.

“Ohio’s defense played pretty good and their goalie had some nice saves,” Freese said. “I thought we played a really good game, but there is a need to improve on offense and the coaching staff needs to make some corrections.”

CMU only had eight shots in comparison to Ohio’s 15, but the Chippewas did manage to create 10 corner opportunities against the Bobcats.

she fired a shot from 20 yards out in to the top left corner of the goal. It was her team-high fifth goal of the year.

CMU added another goal 75 seconds later when Abbott capitalized on a Zips turnover and took a shot from 30 yards out that found the back of the net for her third goal of the season.

“I thought Chelsi Abbott was the star of the game,” said head coach Neil Stafford. “Her maturity and how she managed the game was just instrumental for us today.”

Akron cut into CMU’s lead in the 40th minute after senior Rachel Phillip took a cross from redshirt senior Jordan Clark and shot the ball past CMU goalkeeper Stefanie Turner. The goal was just the second allowed by CMU at home this season.

The Chippewas controlled the play throughout the first half, outshooting the Zips 8-4.

“Until the last five minutes of the first half, I thought we dominated the half and really imposed ourselves on the game,” Stafford said.

Akron had a chance to tie the game in the 85th minute when Clark took a shot from 20 yards out that just sailed over the crossbar.

It would make another last minute push, but was unable to find the equalizer.

Stafford believes his team was able to adjust from its first meeting with the Zips, which was the opening game of conference play.

“We didn’t do the basics well enough and I think we really learned from that today,” Stafford said.

Study finds public items covered with illness-causing germs

“Luckiest broad on two feet”

Actress and comedian Betty White laughs while taking questions from the audience during her appearance Saturday night at the Soaring Eagle Casino, 6800 Soaring Eagle Boulevard. “Well, I guess I’m awesome because you can’t get rid of me,” White said. “I’m just the luckiest broad on two feet.”

Lather, rinse, repeat is a routine everyone should follow according to a recent study on germs in public places Dr. Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona, found 71 percent of gas pump handles and 68 percent of corner mailbox handles are covered in germs prone to cause a high risk of illness.

Other common places where germs lurk are ATM machines at 41 percent, and escalator rails at 43 percent.

Health Sciences Associate Professor Irene O’Boyle said people should remember everything has germs.

rant menus, shower curtains and remote controls are just some of the places many people do not think to clean.

Royal Oak sophomore Katharine Shepard said she knows germs are everywhere and is very conscious of them.

“In the (cafeteria), if it’s food you eat with your hands, I’ll use my left hand to get the food because I’m right handed,” she said. “I’ll be grossedout at eating my food when I’ve touched something (one) million other people have.”

Shepard said hand sanitizer is her best friend, and she never shares her drinks, food or chapstick.

“I wash my hands before and after I eat anything and after I’ve touched something I know a lot of people have touched, like the computer lab or after being in class,” she said.

Studies from the Journal of Medical Virology report germs like the cold and flu viruses can survive for up to 18 hours on a hard surface.

A 2007 study at University

of Arizona found handles of almost two-thirds of shopping carts were contaminated with fecal bacteria.

Although many germs are stereotyped as the “bad guys,” O’Boyle said some are actually good for your health.

Healthy germs, also known as probiotics, are found in yogurt and cereal, she said.

They replenish the good bacteria in our bodies, help fight infections and build immunity.

To help fight against the not so “nice” germs, O’Boyle emphasized routines to maintain health.

“Do regular nail care and use a moisturizer to protect skin from cracking,” she said.

She said do not share towels and avoid close contact with individuals who are sick.

“Germs live everywhere and most of them won’t harm you,” O’Boyle said.

Environmental Awareness Day Tuesday Actor, speaker Tatanka Means performs Nov. 8

community to give back to Mother Earth,” Green said.

Green said volunteers will have the opportunity to clean up campus before the first snow.

“It is a way we show how important our natural environment is to all of us by coming together for this community service learning project,” she said.

The month’s events will include a free screening of the film “Reel Injun” at noon and 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

The documentary examines portrayals of Native Americans in film.

Lake Isabella senior Jeannie Snyder said as an American Indian, she feel it is important to share aspects of her culture to help eliminate misconceptions.

At noon on Thursday, Dee Ann Sherwood, the Denison visiting professor of Native American studies, will discuss myths and truths about American Indian culture in the Bovee UC Terrace rooms as part of a Soup and Substance presentation.

“I personally feel educating and immersing people in cultures outside their own is a perfect educational component to their own life and to show how diverse we are as a society,” Green said.

At 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium, actor, comedian and motivational speaker Tatanka Means will perform.

Tatanka Means will be using comedy to motivate people to excel in life and in all of their endeavors,” Green said.

Snyder said Means comes from a famous family and his father is known for his political activism with the American Indian Movement.

Events will conclude at 6 p.m. on Nov. 30. with Tobacco Teachings in the University Center.

“CMU also has a long-honored relationship with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, which brings in another aspect of educating and including the community into events and programs,” Green said. studentlife@cm-life.com
