Clery Act: Police encourage students to report crimes

By Evan Sasiela Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

After an increase in domestic violence and rape cases at Central Michigan University, police encourage students to report crimes to them or other appropriate departments.

Lt. Cameron Wassman discussed the release of this year’s Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, which was released Thursday, Sept.

28. The annual report documents offenses reported to the university and is required as part of the Clery Act. The Clery Act requires federally-funded universities to release an annual security report to the public by Oct. 1. CMU released the information in an email the afternoon of Sept. 28.

The locations include on-campus, non-campus, public property and residential facilities.

Go to cm-life.com to find the online version of this story. The full 209-page report is attached in the article.

CMU had an increase in sexual assault and domestic violence from 2015-16, according to the report. In addition, 24 domestic violence offenses took place overall in 2016, as opposed to two reported in 2015.

There were 18 reported rapes overall and 10 on campus in 2016, according to the data. One rape incident was unfounded. There were four reported rapes overall in 2015.

“We want to know these (offenses) are happening so we can address it and ultimately make CMU a safe place,” Wassman said.

With the increase in rape and domestic violence offenses, Wassman said part of the uptick can be attributed to people more willing

to report those type of incidents.

“We very much realize there’s a lot of things that go on that don’t get reported,” Wassman said. “The takeaway is, we want to encourage people to report those things. From a police perspective, we encourage them to report to the police department so we can complete a criminal investigation.”

Rape reports do not include statutory rape.

There have been zero statutory rape reports on campus reported from 2014-16.

Fondling reports decreased — dipping from 21 in 2015 to six last year.

There were increases from 2015-16 in burglary, motor vehicle theft, liquor law arrests and drug law arrests. Decreases were in incidents involving robbery, aggravated assault, dating violence and stalking.

Wassman said those reports included in the Clery Act do not just include police reports. It also includes non-police investigations the university may have conducted, he said, whether it be in the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equality or the Office of Student Conduct.

If a criminal investigation is not desired, victims have alternatives such as OCRIE and their hall staff, Wassman said. CMUPD reviews each offense and looks at ways to improve how to create a safer campus, Wassman said. He added CMU is generally a safe campus compared to others and thanks CMU offices and local law enforcement for keeping the numbers low.

“I think CMU really does do a good job when it comes to safety,” Wassman said. “It’s not just the police departments. Our officers do a good job and are dedicated to keeping things safe, but our relationships with the other departments are really important. We’re very fortunate with that.”

Thorpe Hall evacuated after reports of ‘strange odor’

By Mitchell Kukulka News Editor news@cm-life.com

Thorpe Hall was evacuated shortly after 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6 after the Central Michigan University Police Department received reports of a foul odor and students suffering from medical problems, such as coughing and difficulty breathing.

The odor was discovered near the second-floor stairwell on the northeast side of the building. “(Resident assistants) called us to come over because they thought something was wrong,” said Sgt. Doug Lobsinger of the Mount Pleasant Fire Department. “Word is, the product was some type of irritant, like

“Whatever was there is gone, or it’s in a small enough amount that it’s not noticeable.”

Students were allowed back into the building around 9:40 p.m.

CMUPD officers stopped by throughout the night to doublecheck the stairwell and determine if the threat had returned.

No additional cases of the odor have been reported.

OCT. 22 DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT TO RAISE MONEY TO HELP HEART DEFECT RESEARCH Central Michigan University’s Graduate Sport Event Management class will host a disc golf tournament to raise money for child heart research Oct. 22.

The “Harvest Classic for Heart” disc golf tournament is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.

Sunday, Oct. 22 at the CMU Disc Golf Course, located in the Center for Applied Research and Technology.

Check-in for the event starts at 8 a.m. Participants will split into divisions based on their level of experience. Registration fees range from $25 to $55 based on the participant’s level of difficulty.

The event was first

organized last year to raise money for Sawyer’s Light, a nonprofit organization created by the parents of Sawyer Bruursema, who was born with the heart defect Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

Sawyer’s Light is dedicated to helping families who have children suffering from congenital heart defects.

All the proceeds from the event will go through Sawyer’s Light to the Save a Heart Foundation at Mott Children’s Hospital, which treated Sawyer while he was suffering from the disease.

Sawyer’s father, CMU faculty member Jordan

Bruursema of the department of recreation, parks and leisure services, said he is happy to be able to give back.

“We wanted to give back to a place that gave so much to us,” Bruursema said. “The care the hospital gave our family while we were there was amazing.”

Bruursema also hopes the event will help its participants become more aware of heart disease.

We need research

Congress needs to repeal the Dickey Amendment to allow for gun violence research

I

n the wake of the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, many people are left with the same question: What do we do about gun violence?

“Banning guns” violates the Second Amendment and doing nothing is no longer an option.

In our lifetime, we have seen the headline “The worst mass shooting in U.S. history” too many times – Sandy Hook in Connecticut, Virginia Tech in Virginia, the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando and now Las Vegas.

That’s four too many times.

Following the mass shooting in Orlando last year, gun violence was declared an epidemic in America. Epidemics need action, typically starting with research so we can fully explore the issue before deciding on a solution.

One of the problems with this epidemic – we don’t have any research because of former Arkansas Congressman Jay Dickey.

“Can you stop violence?” asked Dickey in a 1996 Congressional hearing. “You can’t stop violence unless you stop people from committing it, can you? How can you stop violence by attacking the gun?”

Mark Rosenberg, the man investigating gun violence as a public health problem at the Center for Disease Control, responded: “We’re not trying to attack the gun, sir. We’re trying to understand the problem…And absolutely yes, we can prevent violence.”

After this exchange, Dickey, the self-described point man for the National Rifle Association, created the Dickey Amendment. His legislation does not prevent CDC the from researching gun control, but it had the unintended consequence of shutting down all gun violence research at the agency.

This amendment, along with the lobbying power of the NRA, has effectively shut down meaningful research into gun violence in America for the last 21 years.

Now is the time for change.

Repealing the Dickey Amendment will allow researchers to search for precursors and warning signs of mass murderers before we have to read the headline, “Worst Mass Shooting in America” yet another time.

We know we can’t stop every shooter. There will always be people who evade detection and commit terrible crimes, like Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas gunman. He had no history of mental illness, no criminal record, or other red flags, but he is not a case study for these tragedies.

He’s the exception.

But if research could help authorities identify the traits and behaviors shared by mass murderers and we are able to stop just one murderer, why shouldn’t we try?

The Dickey Amendment was created because the NRA did not want the CDC advocating for stricter gun laws.

We don’t want that either. We want smarter gun laws.

The possible research could help create more succinct background checks and identifying clues to someone’s motive. The research will

provide states and law enforcement data they need to tailor gun sale procedures and background checks in a safer and more proactive way.

Law enforcement needs the research that will help them identify ways to combat and prevent the next mass shooting.

It’s common sense. What doesn’t make sense is continuing to let the NRA shape all political policy in regards to firearm legislation. Even the Dickey seemed to have a change of heart after he helped the gun lobby forever alter the national’s discussion about gun violence. The Congressman told the Huffington Post in 2015, “I wish we had started the research and kept it going all this time. We need to turn this over to science and take it away from politics.”

The prevention of researching gun violence stops us from understanding the warning signs like depression, threatening behavior and bipolar disorder, all things shooters have had in common, and how they can be recognized gun sellers and those around them.

It’s understandable that some people reading this are wary that this can lead to a slippery slope of putting limitations of their Second Amendment rights.

We get it. But this isn’t about taking your guns away. This is about us as humans recognizing there should be a reasonable attempt to prevent these atrocities. Allowing the CDC to research gun violence is the most responsible and reasonable approach to preventing the next mass shooting.

How can we say there is no way to prevent mass shootings if we have no evidence and base to go forward from? Right now, understanding gun violence is a pitch-black cave and America is lost with nothing more than an empty matchbook.

We need the research to illuminate the path so we can start searching for the solution.

Doing nothing, and hoping for the best, isn’t enough to stop mass murderers.

OPINION

Bannon’s ‘economic nationalism’ is white nationalism in disguise A man enters a room in his house that’s been converted into a studio. He’s wearing his best black shirt, a sports jacket and khaki pants.

He’s ready for his first TV interview.

It begins with sharp and pointed questions. He’s quick, angry and bites back against the man sitting opposite to him. Like a feral dog, he chews through every question as the interview continues.

Then, in a moment of comedy, he is compared to the Grim Reaper. He responds, “They can call me a racist…

As long as we are driving this agenda for the working men and women of this country, I’m happy. And by the way, that’s every nationality.”

He adds, “Every race, every religion, every sexual preference… you’re part of this populist, economic nationalist movement.”

As Stephen Bannon says this, time stops.

Time stops and there he stands in a black room.

In a moment of self-reflection, he watches himself as he compares

refugees entering the U.S. to the novel, “Camp of the Saints”. The novel depicts the end of Western civilization by an invasion of subhuman-like migrants from India, Africa and the Middle East.

Bannon looks to his right and sees an email he sent Breitbart’s former Tech Editor, Milo Yiannopoulos. It reads, “Drop your toys, pick up your tools and go help save western civilization.”

He thinks America is facing the same destruction as in “Camp of the Saints.”

He sees himself as the righteous crusader trying to save it from invaders.

Bannon then looks to his left and sees the email he sent expressing his love of the idea that Yiannopoulos holds a press conference in front of a mosque.

“Brilliant,” it reads, “Btw they [mosques] are ALL ‘factories of hate.’”

Then Bannon sees the Breitbart headlines, “DATA: Young Muslims in the West Are a Ticking Time Bomb, Increasingly Sympathizing with Radicals, Terror,” “Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew” and the section devoted just to “Black on Black Crime.”

But I know that didn’t happen.

He lied through his teeth and Charlie Rose let him get away with it.

It’s not just because of a few clues or some dog whistle headlines that prove Bannon’s a white nationalist.

The proof lies in his own emails.

Emails uncovered by BuzzFeed show Bannon’s collaboration with Yiannopoulos as he courted known white nationalist Devin Saucier, neo-Nazi Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer and Vox Day. They give the clearest glimpse into a machine that knew exactly who and what ideology it wanted to support.

The white nationalists, neo-Nazis and racists that made up Yiannopou-

los’s team were integral to Breitbart’s expansion and Bannon’s success. He knew they contributed ideas and stories and edited articles.

To avoid accusations of racism, Bannon edited Yiannopoulos’s work to hide overtly racist sentiments and tones.

Under Bannon’s watch, Breitbart did more than tolerate some of the most disgusting and vile voices in America, it thrived on them.

He provided a messenger for them.

At no point did Bannon communicate about some great economic plan for America, he focused on culture wars and pandering to people who only care about the color of your skin.

Let’s stop pretending there’s any economics to his beliefs.

It’s all nationalism.

And judging from what he’s said and allows, his nationalism is all white.

It speaks volumes to his character, because today we see politicians blindly siding with their party or members of their party because it’s safe.

When President Donald Trump

was in Alabama, his supporters booed McCain for his decisive healthcare vote, even though they have the most to lose if Obamacare is repealed.

This is a man who stayed with his men in a Vietnamese P.O.W. camp to be tortured and beaten in war, yet here are Americans booing him because he did the right thing.

Even though he was booed and ridiculed, he showed grace and class by staying silent and not falling in the mud with Trump.

Early in Trump’s presidency when the war on “fake news” started, Mc-

Cain showed he wasn’t happy about the way Trump was treating the press.

On “Meet the Press,” McCain said, “The first thing dictators do is shut down the press.”

He stood up for free press and realized the harm Trump was doing to the civil liberties we enjoy, even though many in the Republican Party would not do the same.

McCain is not perfect, but he is someone both parties should listen to and take note of as a model of decency and bipartisanship.

Special Olympics Homecoming 5K celebrates 30th anniversary Oct. 14

By Emily Holycross Freelance Reporter news@cm-life.com

Special Olympics Michigan and Central Michigan University will team up once Oct. 14 to raise money and awareness for the Special Olympics program during the 30th annual 5K walk/run.

For those interested in participating in the walk/run, registration is $35 from Oct. 7-14.

All participants will receive a free t-shirt. The proceeds of this event benefit more than 23,000 athletes.

The 5K walk-or-run race has been a part of homecoming weekend at CMU for the past 30 years. This is the 10th year SOMI has been the beneficiary of all proceeds.

Registration opens at 7 a.m. The timed race begins at 8 a.m. on Homecoming. The race will start and finish at Finch Fieldhouse. There is also a one-mile fun run-or-walk, open to all ages, at 8:05 a.m. in front of Finch Fieldhouse.

For the 5K, participants will run along a

path circling campus, starting in front of Finch Fieldhouse, traveling down Franklin Street, Bellows Street, then West Campus Drive, before circling back via Broomfield Street and East Campus Drive. The race will conclude at Finch Fieldhouse.

The one-mile run will see participants starting in front of Finch Fieldhouse, traveling down Franklin Street, Bellows Street, East Campus Drive and Preston Street before ending at Finch Fieldhouse.

SOMI’s mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Athletes are supported by a network of volunteers, coaches, family members and staff.

Donations from Michigan citizens and businesses provide funding for the program.

“Central Michigan University is a huge partner for us,” said Kelly Berryhill, development and event coordinator for SOMI. “Our biggest group of volunteers comes from the students and staff. They do a campaign every spring for us and raise more than $30,000 on campus. We

have a tremendous amount of Greek Life support, whether it’s through volunteering or fundraising.”

Berryhill said the fundraiser started off as a campus-wide event to bring alumni and current students together for the purpose of celebrating homecoming weekend.

New for this year’s race, all runners who take part in the fundraiser will be eligible for incentive items. Some of the prizes include a new Apple iPad, CMU apparel and CMU bookstore gift cards. Awards are given to the overall male and female top finishers across several categories: top finishers, “masters” (ages 40+), overall CMU student top finisher, overall CMU alum top finisher, youngest runner (5K only) and CMU most spirited participants.

“Being halfway through September, we have doubled the amount of people who have registered for the event compared to last year,” said Jacob Sanchez, development and events intern.

“The projection certainly looks like it will be a bigger event than it was last year.”

Sanchez said SOMI expects to bring more than 400 participants for this year’s race.

Native American faculty, students discuss meaning of Indigenous Peoples Day

By Lauren Brown Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Although the second Monday of October is recognized as Indigenous Peoples Day in Mount Pleasant, in other cities throughout the U.S., it is still celebrated as Columbus Day. On Oct. 6, President Donald Trump released a statement declaring the second Monday of October to be recognized as Columbus Day, saying Christopher Columbus was a courageous man of faith and helped jumpstart the explorations that eventually led to the founding of the U.S. Faculty and students in the Office of Native American Programs on campus hope people use this day to learn more about American history and indigenous people.

There will be three films and discussions regarding Indigenous Peoples Day starting at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. Light refreshments will be provided.

The films that will be shown are “Our Spirits Don’t Speak English: Indian Boarding School” from 3:30-5 p.m., “The Canary Effect: Kill the Indian, Save the Man” from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and “Awake, A Dream from Standing Rock” from 7-8:30 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the Office of Native American Programs and North American Indigenous Student Organization.

Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs, believes Columbus is celebrated on this day because many were taught false information in school and do not know who Columbus truly was and what he did.

“There are a lot of inaccuracies in our history,” Green said.

Columbus did not actually discover America as many believe, Green said, but rather stumbled upon the Caribbean Islands. He and his men murdered and destroyed the communities of the natives in search of gold and treasure.

She believes it’s offensive that the U.S. celebrates a man who cost so many Native Americans their lives.

Memphis senior Hunter Sagaskie, Native American Programs peer adviser, also thinks

“To celebrate somebody like that just seems disrespectful to the people that he tried to take advantage of.”

HUNTER SAGASKIE

NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS PEER ADVISOR

the national holiday is disrespectful.

“To celebrate somebody like that just seems disrespectful to the people that he tried to take advantage of,” Sagaskie said.

He believes changing the name of Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day allows the focus to be taken away from Columbus and celebrate the fact that Native American peoples survived this genocide and are still around today.

Sagaskie said he is proud Mount Pleasant recognizes this day as Indigenous Peoples Day. He finds it exciting and hopes it will catch on in other places as well.

Sagaskie believes the day is a time for reflection and not a holiday that should just be ignored or brushed off. Recognizing the problem with calling this day Columbus Day is an important and huge step, Sagaskie said.

He wants his fellow students to know more about this day and find it important enough to research. He wishes for respect to be given to him and all other Indigenous peoples every day, but especially on this day.

Green believes people need to recognize and remember the true history, and learn more about the history of Indigenous people because they were actually the first to live in what we now call America.

Green said she wants students to realize Native Americans have a long history on this land and they are still here.

The misconceptions about this day and who Columbus was are strong and widespread, Green said, but something as small as learning more about Native American history and recognizing the tragedy they faced can do so much to help.

The Cherry Project, a photography and blogging campaign that focuses on positivity, sharing people’s personal stories and raising awareness of issues people face, is also a co-sponsor.

DACA temporarily protected some people who came to the U.S. as minors from deportation and allowed them to be eligible to work. In September, the Trump

Mindfulness Club provides space to discuss conscious living news@cm-life.com

What started as a leadership minor capstone project in January 2016 has since blossomed into a registered student organization that meets weekly to speak about incorporating mindfulness into everyday life.

On average, about 10 people attend each meeting. The RSO meets at 7 p.m. on Thursdays in the Bovee University Center Isabella Room.

Davisburg senior Sam Ekstrom started the Mindfulness Club because he thought about starting a similar program before but it never worked out. He saw his capstone project as an opportunity to share the power of meditation.

“I had seen the power of meditation in my own life and I wanted to share that with others,” Ekstrom said. “After completing the project, I strongly chose to continue the club.”

The Mindfulness Club is an RSO that incorporates readings into their meetings to spark discussions on the topic of being mindful.

This discussion is not only led by Ekstrom, the founder and president of the Mindfulness Club — a different member of the club speaks each week and shares their takeaways from the text the club has decided to read.

The meetings take place around a discussion table. The club welcomes members and interested newcomers by hanging a bright, handmade banner outside the discussion room. The meetings are usually an hour to an hour and a half long.

Ekstrom enjoys watching community form within the club. He has seen a spike in meeting attendance and is looking to implement new activities.

The group is planning to start Skyping various meditation teachers. The Mindfulness Club may also host a few meditation teachers on campus. They are working out how to attend or host a meditation retreat with a trained teacher.

“I would also love to see the community continue to grow both in and out of meetings,” Ekstrom said.

Before coming to Central Michigan University, sophomore Logan Evans, Mindfulness Club treasurer and event coordinator, knew he wanted to be part of a group focused on mindfulness.

“If they did not have a mindfulness club I would have started one myself,” he said.

Evans enjoys the sense of community and how conferrable he can be with his beliefs. He believes

Faculty, staff express concerns regarding academic organizational review

By Evan Sasiela Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer Political Science professor Sterling Johnson speaks about the reorganization of the university on Oct. 6 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

“I think way too much money is being spent on the reorganization process and students should be concerned about that. Tuition dollars are being spent on this process for reasons that are not clear.”

-Mary Senter Faculty member in Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work Teaching for more than 35 years

Transparency and an achievable timetable are the major concerns faculty and staff have for Central Michigan University’s academic restructuring.

Ian Davison, senior vice provost for academic reorganization initiative, said all input from the community will be welcomed as committees draft recommendations for CMU’s academic organizational structure.

An open forum, hosted by Davison and Provost Michael Gealt, took place in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

The organizational review effort falls under CMU’s updated “Advancing Excellence” strategic plan — running from 2017-22.

The review will look for ways to improve the efficiency of the university and enhance student success, Davison said.

The reorganization initiative began in August after approval from the CMU Board of Trustees. The university hopes to implement changes by the 2018-19 fiscal year.

CMU last conducted an academic reorganization in 1996 — leading to the creation of the College of Communication and Fine Arts, College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences; and the College of Science and Engineering from the College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Health Professions was also created in that process.

The goal of a reorganizational review would be to advance the goals in CMU’s strategic plan and determine how CMU can improve going forward, Davison said.

The imperatives listed in the strategic plan approved by CMU trustees in June are nurturing student success, fostering scholarly activity and strengthening partnerships in Michigan and beyond.

Criteria for change would be: • 1. The Way — Any organizational change must be justified by a clear rationale • 2. Assessment — Changes have defined metrics that relate to goals in strategic plan

• 3. Budget — Considering costs • 4. Broader Impacts — Considering the entire university The review is not designed to achieve budget savings, reduce faculty or staff or eliminate academic programs.

THE PROCESS OF ORGANIZING CMU President George Ross has appointed committees offaculty, staff and students to conduct the review, Davison said.

Those appointments could be announced Tuesday.

The timetable for the rest of the semester is to solicit ideas and suggestions through November and develop drafts and recommendations by December.

Davison said recommendations should be approved by CMU’s Board of Trustees by the end of this academic year. He hopes to implement those recommendations by 2019.

“How long the implementation (process) will take depends on some extend of what the reorganization is,” he said.

Davison encouraged input and suggestions from the CMU community, saying he was happy to meet with departments, small groups and individuals if they wish.

During the question and answer session, faculty and staff members, who made up the majority of the audience, expressed concerns with the timetable for the review and how the potential recommendations could affect student success.

Since very few students attended the open forum. Davison said there are plans to meet with the Student Government Association.

Mary Senter, professor of sociology, questioned how Davison was spending his time in his new position. Davison, the former dean of the College of Science and Engineering, is an at-will employee of CMU. Davison responded with he is working more than 40 hours per week and is talking to colleges and departments as much as he can to gather input.

Senter said rumors have been spreading between departments due to the secrecy of the overall process. She has also heard of a rumor that an academic prioritization process will begin soon. Gealt and Davison both said that is a rumor.

“I have a telephone and an email,” Davison said regarding such rumors. “If you have a question, please ask.”

ACADEMIC UNREST Senter does not know why CMU is engaged in this reorganization process.

“The link between organization and student success is not clear,” she said. “Way too much money is being spent on the reorganization

Michael Mamp, a professor in fashion merchandising and design, said there is a climate of mistrust and rumors are developing because of that mistrust.

“You need good faculty to have student success. Good faculty are getting irritated and may leave, which will impede your ability to achieve student success,” Mamp said.

Susan Grettenberger, director of the social work program, said she is concerned of the timing and whether that will allow for sufficient dialogue.

“The climate is fear and anxiety right now.

Rumors develop because of mistrust.”

“(Reorganization) will benefit CMU maybe in making us look, I don’t know, fancier, bigger, more (of a research university) than we are now,” Grettenberger said. “I just don’t see this being student successful.”

Self Love Beauty campaign photoshoot, pop-up shop on campus Oct. 10

By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Self Love Beauty, an online store and women’s empowerment campaign will be on campus to promote body positivity and self-love with a popup shop and photo shoot from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 10 in Fabiano Botanical Garden.

Lisa Thompson, founder of Self Love Beauty, will be managing the “Beautiful Me” photoshoot to inspire confidence and empowerment in women.

Self Love Beauty began as a blog in 2012.

Over the years the site has grown into a T-shirt collection with positivity campaigns active in East Lansing, Midland, Bay City and New York.

“Our photoshoot campaign began at the end of March of 2016,” Thompson said. “I came across the idea while looking for ways to bring a variety of people together.”

The campaign allows women to purchase a shirt from the Self Love Beauty Shop at a discounted price of $20. They will then be featured in a group and individual photoshoot that is later uploaded onto social media.

Courtesy Photo |Self Love Beauty Michigan State University students pose for a photo in March 2017 after Self Love Beauty visited MSU.

Self Love and Beauty ambassador Ashley VanOchten, a Kawkawlin senior, immediately fell in love with the campaign and its mission over social media. She applied to be an ambassador to host events and promote self-worth on campus.

“We are expecting a pretty large turnout,” VanOchten said.

The shirts available to participants come in t-shirt and tank top styles and are decorated with a positive quote like “she believed she could so she did” and “strong is the new beautiful.”

VanOchten said the hope is the shirts inspire

“We have had women that have had experiences with bulimia and other eating disorders who are willing to share where they are at in the recovery process,” Thompson said, adding she believes it is extremely important to remind women that they are never alone on their journey to finding self-worth.

“If you really were considering what your faculty were doing on a day-to-day basis, and you really wanted our input, you would give us time to be thoughtful and deliberative,” Strachan said.

“There is no way in that timeline that we have the time and space to do that.”

One of the final points of the forum came from David Jesuit, chair of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. Jesuit also expressed concerns with the timetable, saying there needs to be more time if no plan is in place.

“To me, it just doesn’t pass the smell test,” Jesuit said. “To me it doesn’t seem sincere that this is really an achievable goal. There’s something else there.”

Davison said he will gather suggestions and input to see if it is an achievable time. He added the reorganization will most likely not please everybody.

CHSBS faculty and staff were concerned about the relationship between deans, because current CHSBS Dean Pamela Gates will retire in January 2018. Gealt said an acting dean could be announced this week and a national search will be conducted to find Gates’ replacement.

“I use the term ‘worthy’ above everything else, because no matter what you are fighting with or society standards a person is always worthy of love,” Thompson said.

Photoshoots have already been conducted at Michigan State and Wayne State universities.

Thompson said college campuses are in special need of empowerment.

“At that age everyone is trying very hard to find themselves and groups where they can belong in,” she said.

In college, Thompson struggled with her identity and felt her success was determined by a standard that suggested she be a smaller size and attend parties with the ‘right crowd.’

“I was trying so hard to find myself and in that process I felt that I was constantly comparing myself to others,” she said.

Thompson hopes her work and campaign will encourage other women to feel confident in their own beauty. Her vision for Self Love Beauty is “to create a world where women are empowered to love themselves and achieve anything they desire.”

‘Dozer being Dozer’ Club baseball player dies in car accident; remembered fondly by friends and family

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

For Mary and Doug Moors Jr., the mother and father of Doug “Dozer” Moors, July 29 was a normal evening.

Mary received a text message from Dozer on the way home from a semi-pro soccer match in Troy saying his favorite team had won and he was going back to friend Eric Hergenreder’s house to stay the night.

Everything seemed normal.

The next morning was anything but.

“Frozen,” Mary said. “I was just frozen and I don’t know how else to describe it.”

Around 7 a.m., the Moors’ had a knock on their door from the police telling them their son had died in a car accident on I-75 in Troy.

Dozer, a 22-year-old, reportedly died on the scene after Hergenreder’s car struck a party bus that was parked on the side of the road for repairs.

Hergenreder suffered serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital, but he recovered.

“No one wanted to believe it was real,” Doug said. “I still don’t sometimes. I just keep telling myself about all of the good times and try to make it okay, but you really can’t.”

Dozer, a Goodrich native, was a senior completing his final semester for a degree.

OCT. 9, 2017 | CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM Teammate Nick McNamara, a 21-year-old Grand Rapids native, said the team felt lost without him on and off the field.

“When I found out, I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. I still haven’t,” McNamara said. “It doesn’t seem right without him here.

“It’s a hole that cannot be filled.”

Alex Cesal, the CMU Club Baseball President, couldn’t find enough words to describe what he meant to the team from a mental standpoint. “(Dozer) just loosened everyone up. If we were losing he found a way to pick us back up,” Cesal said. “You simply can’t just replace someone like him, but I can tell you we won’t ever forget him.”

of the first people to find out about the incident.

Dozer and Manarino planned on living together for the fall semester until the news broke. They met in the same fifth grade class and had been friends since. “(Dozer) was always someone I could count on and he’s just been that person since I got to know him,” Manarino said. “We didn’t have to be going out or partying. I just loved all of the little things

about him.”

Doug said Dozer created trouble as a toddler and he made sure he had quality friends growing up.

“Picture a kid barely over a year old pushing things and finding ways to get into trouble, yet the things getting him in trouble shouldn’t be possible at his age,” Doug said. “I think that kind of showed who he was, Dozer being Dozer. No matter what, he would make sure the people he was with were in a good mood.”

Dozer’s aunt, Kim Moors, said he would take any chance to have fun. She recalled Dozer’s experience at a family

get-together.

“Around 200 people were there and (Dozer) had the time of his life,” Kim said.

“When we got home, the first thing he said was ‘I want my birthday party at the same place,’ and I asked him who he wanted to go.

“Dozer smiled and said ‘the same people would be fine by me.

I just want to have a good time.’”

Mary said the amount of people Dozer impacted while being here was unbelievable. It was something special to her.

“You pick a restaurant or whatever, it didn’t matter, Dozer knew somebody there and would go have a conversation

with them,” Mary said. “None of us wanted those times to end, but I believe he will truly get remembered for the person he was — caring about others more than himself.”

BASEBALL MEANT EVERYTHING From the minute Dozer picked up a baseball bat, he couldn’t get it out of his hand, Doug said. Though he also played basketball in high school, nothing compared for his passion to play on the diamond.

“All of those summers with (his teammates) playing baseball was where he was truly happy,” Doug said.

Manarino said he would always know what happened in any of Dozer’s games because “it was where he truly belonged.”

“If there was one thing Dozer said could bring him up on a bad day, it was going to play a baseball game,” Manarino said.

“He loved the sport and couldn’t get enough of it. Trust me, he could not stop talking about it.”

Dozer made the varsity team each year at Goodrich High School. He played on travel teams in the summer, but Doug believes Dozer was happiest while playing CMU Club Baseball.

“He loved that team, he said. “It kind of gave him a second family.”

REMEMBERING DOZER’S LEGACY Mary said Dozer would want to be remembered as someone who would do whatever it takes for someone he loves.

It didn’t matter the situation he was in; the people in his life felt meant more than anything.

“My son had the biggest heart and I know he would want people to remember him for how he treated them,” Mary said. “That’s all he ever cared about. I believe he will be thought of that way.”

Zach Kallgren, another teammate of Dozer, said he wouldn’t forget him for the way he played the game.

“He never gave up on a play or game, and that really reflected who he was as a person,” he said.

Doug believed the way Dozer saw every opportunity in life speaks to his character.

He would never turn down any challenge.

“If this was someone else, Dozer wouldn’t leave them alone, and that’s why we all try to be there for each other now,” he said. “He taught us to be this way and there is nothing more Dozer would want to be remembered by.”

Conklin’s return from injury potenially saves season for football Heading into Athens, Ohio on a three-game losing streak, the Central Michigan football team needed a spark in the worst way.

As the Ohio Bobcats entered Saturday’s game on a three-game winning streak, both teams were on complete opposite trajectories and a fourth-straight loss — and 0-2 start in Mid-American Conference play — looked likely for the ailing Chippewas.

Facing a potentially disastrous start to MAC play, CMU received the spark it needed as a familiar face made his way off the bench and onto the field during CMU’s 26-23 win.

Senior tight end Tyler Conklin made his 2017 debut on Saturday after missing the first five games with a foot injury and helped lift the Chippewas to the much-needed victory.

The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Chesterfield native made his presence felt immediately as he had three catches for 40 yards on the opening drive, capped by a 16-yard touchdown reception from graduate transfer quarterback Shane Morris.

Morris continued to feed Conklin throughout the afternoon as the Bobcat’s defense looked lost trying to cover him over the middle. Conklin finished with 10 catches for 136 yards — both career highs.

Clinging to a 19-14 lead with nearly 11 minutes to play, Morris found Conklin once again to essentially win the game with a 10-yard scoring pass.

Not only did Conklin’s return help the Chippewas earn a huge victory on Saturday, but it potentially flips the script on the season.

CMU was on its way to finishing towards the bottom of the MAC West Division once again.

Now, after a win over the defending MAC East Champions on the road, the Chippewas (3-3, 1-1 MAC) give themselves a fighting chance the rest of the way.

Coming off a career-high three interceptions against Boston College, Morris was struggling to find any rhythm. CMU’s running game had been a no-show through the first five games as well.

TYLER CONKLIN Conklin gave Morris a security blanket over the middle and made life much easier for an offense that desperately needed it. Morris finished an efficient 25-for-35 passing for 249 yards and two touchdowns.

Senior wide receiver Corey Willis also made his return on Saturday after missing three games with a hand injury. While Willis was used primarily as a decoy, having both him and Conklin back makes CMU a completely different team

going forward.

Central Michigan returns to Kelly/Shorts Stadium this Saturday for a homecoming matchup against the preseason MAC favorite Toledo Rockets before heading to Ball State and battling Western Michigan on the road.

Before Saturday, very few would have given the Chippewas much hope in those games.

With Conklin now back in the fold, however, anything appears possible.

Soccer blows early lead, falls 3-1 to Bowling Green on road

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

After earning its first Mid-American Conference victory on Thursday, the Central Michigan soccer team fell to Bowling Green on Sunday.

The Falcons (8-5, 3-3 MAC) defeated the Chippewas (6-5-3, 1-3-2), 3-1.

Central Michigan scored first after a defensive orientated first half between the two teams.

Junior forward Lexi Pelafas found the back of the net on passes from Savannah Beetcher and Shannon Magnan to give the Chippewas a 1-0 lead with 31:51 left in the game.

Pelafas still leads the MAC in goals. Earlier this season, she broke the CMU career goalscoring record.

BGSU responded with a goal of its own just a minute after Pelafas’ goal. Marissa Swindell beat CMU goalkeeper Zoie Reed. About five minutes later, the junior forward had another scoring opportunity, which she executed to give the Falcons a 2-1 lead.

“It changes the game a lot,” said head coach Peter McGahey, regarding the momentum swing in the game when Bowling Green responded to Pelafas’ goal.

The final goal of the game was scored by redshirt junior midfielder Erica Hubert with 5:53 left, giving the Falcons a two-goal lead. It was Hubert’s fifth goal of the season.

CMU logged seven shots and six shots on goal, compared to 13 shots and seven shots on goal for Bowling Green. The Chippewas had opportunities to score, but goalkeepers Kathleen Duwve and Victoria Cope rejected five shots in the game.

“I think today we made it a little more difficult on ourselves than we needed to,” McGahey said.

WHAT’S NEXT The Chippewas’ next game is against Miami (Ohio) at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 13 at the Redhawks Soccer Field.

The RedHawks are winless on the season (0-12, 0-5-1) and have been shutout nine times.

They are last in the conference in goals and assists. Meanwhile, they rank No. 10 in the MAC in goals conceded.

Miami (Ohio) has only scored four goals in 12 games this season. Last season, CMU topped the RedHawks in double overtime, 1-0.

“We will re-group as a staff and with the leaders of the team to look at the game on field, make some corrections, and come out flying on Friday,” McGahey said.

““I think today we made it a little more difficult on ourselves than we needed to.”
