Still no agreement reached by FA, CMU Closed court hearing, bargaining session scheduled for today

By Hailee Sattavara Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University and the Faculty Association were unable to reach a contract agreement after six hours during a closed session Thursday.

CMU and FA bargaining teams’ attorneys met Thursday for a closed session with Isabella County Trial Judge Paul H. Chamberlain at Chamberlain’s request.

The bargaining teams plan to negotiate this morning.

“It was very helpful,” said FA Attorney William F. Young. “The parties were not able to reach an agreement.”

CMU Attorney Robert Vercruysse did not comment other than to confirm the session happened, and bargaining is planned for today.

Vercruysse left for a meeting after 3:35 p.m. Young left at 4 p.m.

The last time the two groups met was Nov. 4, but no agreement could be reached.

When FA President Laura Frey learned of the hearing, she said it was unclear if the hearing will be regarding the ongoing contract negotiations or the FA’s plans to challenge Public Act 54.

The act prevents all “wage step increases” after the expiration of a collective bargaining agreement.

Since the FA’s contract expired June 30, about 40 to 60 promoted faculty members have not received their lump sum payments for this year, Frey told Central Michigan Life in August.

Frey said the university has filed to change the location for the hearing on PA 54 from Isabella County to Ingham County.

The FA has filed for the PA 54 case to remain in Isabella County since it is the jurisdiction where the action is occurring, Frey said.

After the closed session was over,

ACADEMIC P R I O R I T I Z AT I O N

There was little difference between the preliminary Academic Prioritization report and the original recommendations from the College of Education and Human Services, said Interim Dean Katherine Koch.

The report was released by Provost Gary Shapiro on Oct. 27.

“I think in almost all cases the rankings provided by the college were supported by the provost,” Koch said.

“There were a couple (programs) ranked at a 3 by the provost that were ranked at a 2 by the college.”

Of the 61 programs listed in the report, 15 were given ranks of Priority 1 or 2, both of which mean increased resources and funding for the programs.

About half of the programs, 27 in all, were given a Priority 3 ranking and will continue to receive the same levels of support they currently have. The remaining 19 programs received rankings of Priority 4 or 5, which will lead to decreased funding and resources, consolidation with another program or elimination.

More than half of these low-ranking programs are graduate programs.

Koch said one of the main problems with these programs is that it is difficult to get students seeking master’s degrees, who often have families and full-time jobs, to come to campus for classes. Because of this, many of these programs will be moved off-campus or online, or combined with other programs.

“We want to make (the programs) more attentive to the different needs and demands of nontraditional students,” Koch said.

Of the 11 programs ranked Priority 5, six have been recommended for elimination.

The actions recommended by the prioritization report will not change the structure of the college, but would change the flow of resources within it, Koch said.

In the department of Recreation, Parks and Leisure Services Administration, the undergraduate program in therapeutic recreation received a Prior-

Frey said it was to her understanding that the discussion was about the contract negotiation, not PA 54.

Fact-finder Barry Goldman’s nonbinding set of findings came Tuesday in an attempt to break an impasse in the four-month-old contract talks, in which mediation has already failed.

Goldman sided with the university’s proposals on economic issues such as salary and benefits, and with the FA on retirement and promotion increases.

‘MANHANDLED’

By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

A fourth-quarter shootout ended with Ohio holding on to its 43-28 victory against Central Michigan Thursday night at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for two touchdowns and 193 yards in a fourth quarter comeback, but the Chippewa late spark fell short.

CMU’s fate was sealed on a 48yard touchdown run by running back Beau Blankenship with two minutes on the clock. He scored twice in the fourth quarter for the Bobcats, compiling a career-high 129 yards on the ground.

“They rushed for 300 yards and we dropped about 12 passes,” said head coach Dan Enos. “We got manhandled, that was a well-rested, good football team.”

Coming out of the half trailing OU 19-14, CMU’s defense held strong and forced a punt only to give up a safety two plays into the drive on a tackle by Alphonso Lewis.

OU quarterback Tyler Tettleton led the Bobcats down the field, hooking up with Jerry Gross on a sixyard score. The sophomore finished with 12 competitions for 218 yards and three passing touchdowns (one rushing).

The Bobcats tacked on three touchdowns and a field goal in the second half to improve to 7-3 overall

A male journalism student has been suspended after allegedly making threats to journalism faculty members.

Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley said a statement was made by a student in regard to harming a CMU professor. After collecting evidence and statements he said information was sent to Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick, who will decide if criminal charges are appropriate.

Because of the nature of the issue, the safety of the campus was a concern, Yeagley said.

Wednesday evening, Provost Gary Shapiro emailed the CMU student body to verify the suspension, but provided no reason.

Calls to Shapiro’s office were directed to Director of Public Relations Steve Smith.

“It (sending the email to students) was a simple decision based on the concerns in the journalism department and the fact the information had been shared with so many people and erroneous rumors were being spread,” Smith said. “This was an attempt to allay those fears.”

The suspended student never worked at or applied to Central Michigan Life.

According to an anonymous source, the situation originated in weeks earlier when an individual outside of the journalism department contacted police with reports of the student’s aggressive behavior.

The police became involved shortly after and the student reportedly commented to a fellow student that he wanted to kill every professor in the journalism department, with a particular professor on the top of the student’s list.

“It was an absolute death threat,” the anonymous source said.

At 3 p.m. last Friday the student in question met with a hearing officer.

Student Behavioral Administrator Ben Witt sent an email to the student stating there was evidence he had violated section 3.2.7 of the code of stuA STUDENT | 2

Quran-burning pastor’s visit provokes mixed student reactions

By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

Rev. Terry Jones stood at the front of the class defending his infamous Quran burning to journalism students.

Invited by Associate Professor of Journalism Tim Boudreau, Jones spoke to Boudreau’s JRN 102: Introduction to Journalism and JRN 404: Law of Mass Communication classes Wednesday in auditoriums in Pearce and Asnspach halls.

Boudreau said he brings in a controversial speaker every year to illustrate how offensive speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Jones, pastor of Dove World Outreach Center, sparked mass protests after he pledged to burn about 200 Qurans on the 2010 anniversary of

the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Jones made no apologies and told students to observe how freedom of speech exists only for mainstream opinions.

“Even if you do not like it, it needs to be tolerated,” he said. “It needs to be thought about without fear.”

Jones said there is currently a $2.4 million on his life. After receiving hundreds of death threats, mass protest and objection from both Christian and Islamic groups, and even personal requests from President Barack Obama and General David Petraeus, Jones agreed to cancel the 2010 burning, giving his word they would never burn a Quran.

His word ended on March 20 when Jones served as judge over a mock trial of the Quran at his church. After a jury

with no Muslim members found the book guilty, an assistant pastor burned the book in the sanctuary.

Jones said he had not planned to burn the Quran, but he changed his mind.

“I lied,” Jones said. “It was not on purpose, but I lied.”

The mock trial was streamed live and resulted in mob protests in Afghanistan, killing 30 people and injuring 150 more.

Saudi Arabia freshman Ammar Assiri is a Muslim and said he remembers the day when his class saw Jones on the news. He said he felt like crying.

Jones said what he did in burning a book was not comparable to radical Muslims killing innocent people. Assiri A JONES | 2

dent rights, responsibilities and disciplinary procedures for the threats to CMU staff members.

The student was immediately suspended from all classes, journalism facilities and denied contact with journalism staff for the remainder of the fall semester.

The student is allowed to visit other on-campus facilities and will be allowed to re-enroll next semester in any academic unit other than journalism.

The letter stated he is “encouraged to seek out academic advising assistance in choosing an alternative academic program.”

“CMU is committed to the safety of its students, faculty, staff and community,” Shapiro’s email read. “We take any possible threat seriously and use appropriate measures to investigate or otherwise address the situation.”

However, some argue the university has not taken the issue as seriously as it should because the student has access to other departments where he or she

Tettleton had his way with the Chippewas defense in the first quarter.

The sophomore quarterback threw for 115 yards and a touchdown while rushing the ball for 38 yards and a score. Tettleton’s only incomplete pass was picked off by sophomore Leron Eady with just over a minute to go in the quarter.

Radcliff found Davis for a

He hooked up with Williams in the second on a 14-yard touchdown, which moved Radcliff into second on the all-time passing touchdowns list at CMU. CMU slips to 3-8 this season and will close out the year at home next Friday at 8 p.m. at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

could cause threats.

“It’s unbelievable that the university would not ban the student from campus after all these allegations,” the anonymous source said.

Journalism Department Chairwoman Maria Marron agreed.

“The professors and the students in their classes have undergone considerable stress in recent weeks because of the behaviors of this one particular student who has now been suspended, but not dismissed, from the university,” Marron said.

If another violation occurs, the student will be permanently dismissed from the university.

The student had five business days to appeal the suspension.

Throughout the 2010-11 academic year, 16 students were cited under section 3.2.7, which includes four distinct categories: threat, endangerment, assault and sexual assault.

Commonly on first offenses, Witt said students are put on probation until graduation and are suspended if a threat is made and chosen punishments ultimately depend on the particular violation.

As a result of the student’s threat, two classes were moved,

at least one class was canceled and at least one student refused to come to class, the anonymous source said.

Journalism Adjunct Teresa Hernández chose to comment to teach students how to react and handle serious situations.

“Let’s learn instead of accuse or blame or hide in fear,” Hernández said.

Monroe senior Meghan Morelli said the situation has led her to question her safety on campus and does not feel the threat was taken seriously enough.

“It’s not something that I have ever thought deeply about before, but now that I have been forced to, it really makes me contemplate whether I feel safe on campus or not,” Morelli said.

Ultimately Morelli said she blames administration for not fully informing students of the issue, which she considers to be potentially dangerous.

“I find it disturbing that administration didn’t take it seriously enough to even have the decency to fully alert students,” she said.

man Cain as a presidential candidate in the 2012 election because he is a “businessman who tells it like it is.”

Jones said he believes President Obama is a Muslim who was not born in the U.S. Rochester Hills junior Kelsey Houghtlin said she was glad Boudreau brought someone to campus with an interesting perspective.

Although Houghtlin, who attends His House Christian Fellowship, 211 W. Broomfield St., said she does not agree with

Jones’ actions, she does believe he has the legal right to protest and burn the books.

“I think he has the freedom of speech to do it, but I don’t think he’s right,” she said. “It doesn’t demonstrate Christian beliefs.”

Jones said he plans to run for president in the 2012 U.S. election. His campaign, Stand Up America Now, has a seven-point platform, including deporting all illegal aliens, reducing military spending and reducing corporate taxes.

ity 1 ranking, while the master’s program in the same subject was ranked at Priority 5. In his comments on the graduate program, Shapiro cited low enrollment and recommended the program be eliminated.

“Currently the practice credential is a bachelor’s certificate,” said Bob Frost, chairman of the department. “You don’t need a master’s. The (master’s) program services students who don’t have an undergrad (degree in therapeutic recreation) but want to cross over and get their master’s.”

Recreational therapists, Frost said, usually work in a clinical setting, treating patients with

disabilities or special needs using recreation and other activities.

Lansing senior Renee Hufnagel said the program is growing because of an increased demand for recreational therapists in the health industry.

The department is “already doing an excellent job” with the program, but could use the increased funding for more adaptive equipment to help students practice their therapy techniques, Hufnagel said.

Overall, the prioritization process has been beneficial to the college, Koch said.

“Initially, it just looked like it was going to be a lot of work, but now we’re glad we did it,” she said. “It was a good learning experience.” university@cm-life.com

Michigan State Police Col. Kristie Kibbey Etue answers questions for the Mount Pleasant area and Flint news stations after speaking at the Women’s Initiative’s “Look Who’s Talking” Speaker Series and lunch, Wednesday at the Comfort Inn Conference Center, 2424 South Mission St. More than 300 people attended to hear Etue talk about cuts being made to the Michigan State Police districts and posts. The elimination of posts resulted in $17 million saved without laying off a single trooper. “Troopers save lives, buildings do not,” Etue said.

First female state police director visits Mount Pleasant

By Jordan Spence | Senior Reporter

Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue said she never believed what she was told as a young girl — women do not belong in the state police.

Her father was a state police officer for many years and had hoped his sons would follow in his footsteps.

“Every night at dinner we would have to listen to his stories about the day. My brothers would roll their eyes and I was the one listening to everything he would say,” Etue said. “So as a young girl I would tell him, ‘Dad I want to be a state trooper’ and he would tell me, ‘No, women don’t belong in the state police.’”

Etue spoke Wednesday as part of the Sixth Annual Women’s Initiative “Look Who’s Talking” Speaker Series. The Women’s Initiative Fund is an endowed fund within the Mount Pleasant Area Community Foundation to benefit women and children in Isabella County.

As the first woman director in the post’s 94 years, Etue has served with the state police for 25 years at every rank. During that period of time, she said she has seen women come a long way.

Etue said never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would become the director of the entire state department.

“Her career is another great example of a woman rising up the ranks,” said Women’s Initiative Co-Chairwoman Darcy Orlik. “It’s because of the regional policing plan that she has implemented that affects us and our economy.”

Strategic planning process in ‘infancy,’ draft complete

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

Strategic Planning Team CoChairpeople Claudia Douglass and Barrie Wilkes said the Faculty Association negotiations have not interfered with the strategic planning process.

Douglass and Wilkes head the team of 12 faculty, administrators and Student Government Association President Vince Cavataio.

Douglass, also the interim vice provost of Academic Affairs, said they have received “outstanding cooperation” from everyone.

Wilkes, also associate vice president of Financial Services and Reporting, said Central Michigan University is gathering information from various groups on campus to develop vision priorities for the university. He said the strategic plan will have three to five priorities at the highest level.

According to a PowerPoint presentation by Douglass and Wilkes, draft strategic priorities for CMU are student success, scholarship, research and creative activity, fostering an intellectual community of high-quality faculty and staff, being active partners in improving communities it serves and ensuring university resources and infrastructures

support that mission.

Douglass said the strategic planning process is still in its “infancy.” She said the team’s goal is to have specifics refined next semester.

Wilkes said the university has yet to talk to a lot of stakeholders who will craft what the vision is.

He said the challenge of coming up with specific action steps is a big task for the campus community.

“It’s important that the strategic vision plan applies to the entire campus,” he said.

Wilkes said the strategic plan encompasses the whole university, including off-campus programs, and it does not “call out” any one particular college.

“The College of Medicine is one more college,” Douglass said. “It gives us new avenues, but that’s about all.”

Wilkes said a fair amount of time will be spent engaging the campus community on how to best involve stakeholder groups in the strategic planning process. He said it is yet to be determined specifically how CMU will be engaged in the community.

“We realize they are an important stakeholder,” he said of the community.

Wilkes said the timeline for the strategic plan is variable because it is linked to the campus budget. He said once the com-

munity decides the action steps, the plan must fit into the budget cycle.

Wilkes said the strategic planning process will continue after the next semester, and the plan will be modified as necessary.

Cavataio addressed SGA Monday on the strategic planning process and issued an online survey that, in part, requested responses on how to best reach out to the student body.

The Shelby Township senior said his goal is to continue receiving feedback from students through the end of this semester and into next semester.

“As long as there is a convincing amount of student input, I will be satisfied,” he said.

Cavataio said it has been a pleasure working with the team.

“I am respected and given just as much opportunity to contribute to our initiatives and priorities as everybody else in the room,” he said. “I would like to see our initiatives come to life, with the addition of input from university stakeholders.”

The transition team final reports on Academic Prioritization, administrative and staff priorities, alumni priorities, business and community priorities and student priorities are some input documents the strategic planning team is reviewing.

“Her career is another great example of a woman rising up the ranks. It’s because of the regional policing plan that she has implemented that affects us and our economy.”

Darcy Orlik, Women’s Initiative Co-Chairwoman

REGIONAL POLICING PLAN Since Etue has been director of the department, the Michigan State Police has had a $17 million reduction in its budget.

As part of the regional policing plan, the number of state police posts were cut from 62 to 29, without a single trooper being laid off.

“I’ve always said troopers save lives,” Etue said. “Buildings do not.”

Etue has raised the number of detachment posts from 20

to 58, took sergeants out of the office and back on patrol and has created more mobile offices in state trooper vehicles.

Mount Pleasant Director of Public Safety Tony GomezMesquita said he thinks the plan will benefit the whole state.

“The number of resources available to post commanders has expanded which is key since we rely on the state police daily,” Gomez said. metro@cm-life.com

From Sunday to Wednesday, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education will be on campus to decide if the College of Medicine will continue steps toward accreditation.

CMED is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013, and remains about halfway to its fundraising goal of $25 million in pledges, as it has since April.

Accreditation is a process designed to use peer reviews to assess the overall educational quality of both new and established programs. Medical schools in the U.S. or Canada seeking accreditation are evaluated by a team of certified individuals from LCME. The Academic Senate approved a resolution to halt further action on its part toward CMED with a 76-percent vote at its Nov. 1 meeting.

It is unclear if the A-Senate has the authority to stop the process, or if the vote will be symbolic.

A-Senate Chairman Jim McDonald sent an email concerning LCME to University President George Ross and Ernest Yoder, founding dean of CMED, on Nov. 2.

“I hadn’t heard anything, so I made my own outreach to the LCME accreditation team and they granted it,” McDonald said in a previously published report.

He said during the visit four faculty members will be invited to spend 45 minutes with LCME members to discuss their concerns about CMED. Several departments and the Faculty Association have also voiced concern about CMED, and have several requests for information pending with the university.

ACCREDITATION PROCESS According to the LCME website, the first step in being considered for accreditation is a school must apply to be visited by LCME professionals 18 months in advance.

The survey team is composed of medical practitioners, basic science and clinical educators, educational researchers and administrators selected by the LCME Secretariat at least a year in advance.

91.5 MODERN ROCK

Ross plays blues during show

By Logan Patmon Staff Reporter

University President George Ross went by the DJ name “Fourteen” as he took over the airwaves of 91.5 Modern Rock radio station Wednesday.

Ross, who co-hosted the radio talk show Black Circle Radio, said he chose the name because he is the 14th president of Central Michigan University.

He made his own playlist which included a lot of Motown, funk and blues music and added his own commentary between the songs. The station played all vinyl disks while Ross was in the studio.

“Being from the south, I really got into blues,” Ross said as he prepared to play a song from blues artist Z.Z. Hill. “A lot of it came from my dad, so I’m going to dedicate this next song to him.”

Ross also chose to play songs from artists such as the Temptations, Aretha Franklin and Prince.

After 30 minutes on the air, Ross told the hosts of Black Circle Radio he appreciated the opportunity to relax and do the radio show.

“We were a little nervous to do an interview with President Ross. We don’t really have guests like him on the show a lot,” said Rothbury senior Mitch Anderson. “He was re-

ally cool. We had a whole lot of fun, and his choice of music was awesome.”

Grand Rapids senior Mike Hoover is co-host of Black Circle Radio and the station’s business grants director. He said the co-hosting was a success.

“We had a great time with Dr. Ross and really connected with him over some awesome music. He loved every second of it, and even busted out an air bass guitar for some of the riffs while the rest of us took up an air instrument ourselves,” Hoover said. “We only anticipated President Ross being here for a half hour, but he

ended up staying closer to 45 minutes. Him staying longer is like a testament to how much fun we had.”

Several students who listened to the show said they liked the glimpse they got at President Ross’ personality.

“I liked the radio show a lot.

I feel like I know President Ross a little bit because I got to see him talk in a place where he wasn’t having pressure put on him to fix something,” said Warren freshman Mark Plotts.

“I also liked his selection of music, it was different than what I usually hear.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Perry’s gaffe exposes problem Rick Perry’s gaffe Thursday night was catastrophic.

He stood on stage at the Republican debate at Oakland University, desperately trying to remember the third federal agency he would axe if elected president.

The first two came quickly, but a minute of futile grasping led nowhere, “commerce, education and the uh ... the uh,” and it got worse from there.

Ron Paul was more than willing to offer up agencies he would eliminate, like the EPA, but Perry had meant to refer to the Department of Energy, as he does in most of his campaign speeches, but he never managed to remember.

The thing that left me most confused was how easily the audience accepted the first two legs of his antigovernment trifecta.

No one in the audience had any negative reaction to the suggestion that the U.S. Department of Education could meet the needs of its citizens more easily by being demolished.

It seems Perry would have received praise for his attacks on cabinet-level departments if he hadn’t flubbed his lines.

It’s one thing for Paul to roll out his list of targets, it’s another thing altogether for someone who entered the race as a front-runner, someone who before last the debate had large, if lessening, conservative support.

The current reactionary mood of the Republican party, outside the unknown Jon Huntsman and the electable but seemingly undesired Mitt Romney, is based on a profound misunderstanding of the mechanisms that made this country an economic powerhouse in the first place.

Our economy didn’t fall apart because of the existence of governmental institutions, it came as the direct result of a lack of financial regulation or oversight and irresponsible tax cuts instituted by the previous administration.

The furthest right wing of American politics doesn’t just want to throw the baby out with the bath-water, they want to smash the bath up and let it be run by private porcelain concerns.

Are there legitimate gripes with some kinds of regulation? Absolutely.

But in order for business to succeed it needs educated employees, physical infrastructure, a fair market to operate in and a sizable class of consumers.

Moving toward privatized institutions displays a confidence in the ability of unregulated free market to always get things right, an idea our current crisis has shown to be unreasonable.

Further reducing our tax base will lead to equivalent reductions in our national ability to maintain things that were once taken for granted.

Perry’s campaign effectively ended with his performance at the debate, but the idea of crippling government rather than reforming it remains a popular position.

Then again, as Perry and others like him see it, there’s no need to fund and fix programs that don’t need to exist.

What we don’t know

Sunday marks the beginning of a four-day trip for members of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education at Central Michigan University.

The group will go over progress of the College of Medicine and ultimately decide whether CMED should be put on the path toward accreditation.

But there are a list of questions the current CMU administration needs to answer, not only to LCME members, but to the campus community as a whole.

Budget concerns mark the top of that list.

CMU has said before no money from the general budget will go toward CMED and fundraising will generate what is needed, yet there are major concerns as University President George Ross and his administration have not opened books to make sure this isn’t going on right now.

These concerns were brought up at the most recent Academic Senate meeting, and following the meeting several Freedom of

Information Act requests, were sent regarding the budget. The FOIA requests still have not been given to the A-Senate, Faculty Association or Central Michigan Life, the three groups that asked for the documents.

The bigger question is, will this “investment” make any money?

For three years now the CMU community has been told there will be no issues and CMED will lead the university to greater things, but that light at the end of the tunnel seems to be getting further away.

Even when construction and planning costs are disregarded, the possibility that the day-to-day operations of CMED will continue to lose money well in to the future is another serious concern the university has failed to address.

Furthermore, the administration needs to address the widespread dissent CMED has provoked in recent weeks.

In fact, the original idea for CMED was essentially slipped into a board of trustees meeting with little public comment because

nobody knew it was happening.

The problems with secrecy have extended from the time of former University President Michael Rao to the current administration, where documents haven’t been extended to A-Senate. This has forced senators to send FOIA requests and go through general counsel rather than our own leaders.

CMED Dean Ernest Yoder hadn’t appeared at an A-Senate meeting from January through October. This clear lack of respect for concerns about the college shows CMED is safe on a pedestal while other programs are left to wonder if they will receive cuts.

The biggest question is why are these not issues at other schools?

Several other Michigan universities are in the process of opening a medical college, yet none have reported problems even resembling the issues at CMU. That means something isn’t quite right with how CMU is running the college as an institution.

All this gives good reason to wonder about the university’s

direction with CMED. The project has not had one guiding leader for long, but rather a revolving mirror of new faces.

The project started with Rao, who left and was followed by Interim President Kathy Wilbur, who was soon followed by Ross.

Furthermore, the college started with Dean Cam Enarson, who was hired as an interim, was offered the full-time job and declined. He was followed by current Dean Ernest Yoder.

That’s not to mention the medical school’s associate deans. Originally four were hired for positions, then Dr. Nehad El-Sawi’s resigned from one of those positions and since two other associate deans have been hired leaving five associate deans.

Unfortunately, the problem doesn’t end with a lack of strong leadership or direction for the project.

It extends to a general lack of accountability from the very beginning to students, faculty, staff and taxpayers.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

CMED issues abound As senators, we rarely make public comments about university issues.

However, after watching the proceedings of recent Academic Senate meetings with respect to questions regarding the funding of the proposed medical school, we feel compelled to comment. The issue has become one of public as well as university-wide concern.

When asked about its plans to fund the medical school, the administration has been less than forthcoming.

Central Michigan University has not made public the proposed budget for the medical school or specific plans for securing that funding. Nor has CMU released to the public the self-study document it submitted to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education as part of its accreditation application. It should be noted that all these documents are widely available for the numerous other medical schools currently in the process of accreditation.

The administration’s refusal to release this information leads to speculation that it expects to use internal funding to finance the proposed medical school. Sources of internal funding include the usual revenue streams: state appropriations, tuition, existing donations and cost-savings measures.

All of these should be troubling.

Using regular state appropriations to underwrite the medical schools means that funds currently maintaining existing programs will be diverted.

Therefore, the sustainability of existing programs will be in jeopardy.

We are not at all convinced that the general university community is willCentral Michigan Life serves the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities, and is under the jurisdiction of the independent Student Media Board of Directors. Neil C. Hopp serves as Director of Student Media at CMU and is the adviser to the newspaper. Articles and opinions do not necessarily reflect the position or opinions of Central Michigan University. Central

ing to make the financial sacrifices to existing programs necessary to fund a medical school. Additionally, as the administration has repeatedly pointed out, given economic conditions in the state, increased state appropriations are highly unlikely.

Tuition increases on students enrolled in existing programs as a means of funding a medical school would mean that those students will bear some of the costs. It is difficult to imagine students and their parents willing to make this additional financial sacrifice for the sake of a medical school the vast majority of them will not attend. Additionally, given that enrollments are expected to decline in the coming years, even increases in tuition represent a diminishing resource.

The CMU administration has not identified the amounts of individual donations to the medical school nor have they confirmed that they have pledges from unspecified donors who wish to remain anonymous. In April 2011, the administration did report having secured 50 percent of the $25 million it was seeking. Hidden in this news, however, is something especially disturbing.

Former President Rao initially reported that the medical school could be started with $8 million, which is far below the $100 to $150 million startup costs cited by D.J.W. Associates, a medical education consulting firm.

In fact, the New Program Planning Form for the Doctor of Medicine degree, which is dated September 30, 2009 and was submitted to the CMU’s Academic Planning Council, states that expenditures for the first Michigan Life is a member of the Associated Press, the Michigan Press Association, the Michigan Collegiate Press Association, the Associated Collegiate Press, College Newspaper Business & Advertising Managers Association, the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce, Central Michigan Home Builders Association, Mount Pleasant Housing Association and the

three years alone would cost twice that, i.e., $16,277,796, while revenues for that same time were expected to be $2,863,500. In addition, operating expenditures for the next four years (2012-2016) were projected to be $65,829,860, while revenues were projected to be $55,066,647, of which $46,027,147 was to come from tuition.

With a maximum enrollment of 400 students by year four (100 per year for four years), that would be of an average of $115,067.87 per student per year (irrespective of the difference between the in and out-of-state rate), which seems high even for a medical school; thus, it’s unclear what “tuition” actually means. The remaining $10,763,213 was projected to come from “Program revenues, university designated funds, gifts, endowment income, practice plan income and grants/contracts.”

But because the administration has not released an updated budget or a copy of its self-study explaining how it will meet financial needs, it is impossible to tell how much the new medical school will actually cost or how CMU will pay for it. Furthermore, the medical school was marketed to the CMU community on pledges that it would be self-funded and pose no negative impact on existing programs.

However, the LCME in general prohibits setting medical tuition at a rate that will pay for itself, insisting that “The costs of conducting an accredited educational program leading to the M.D. degree should be supported from diverse sources.”

largely on the grounds that it lacked adequate financial resources. According to UC Riverside’s own publiclyreleased proposal, costs for starting its medical school are on the order of $500 million with an annual operating budget of $87 million. What is even more troubling is that these costs cover only initial classes of 50 students, half the class size CMU proposes.

To repeat: the CMU administration has persistently withheld from the public specific information about the funding of its proposed medical school, this despite repeated requests from the faculty senate. That alone is troubling enough in a public institution — let alone a university — to raise serious concern.

More troubling, however, is that in the absence of this information even generous reasoning fails to imagine how such a medical school could be established at CMU without severe and permanent damage to existing programs. We cannot imagine, and the administration will not tell us, how this will be avoided.

Euchre tournament raises $300 for Listening Ear Crisis Center

By Kendra Happy Staff Reporter

Euchre players of all ages put their cards on the line while raising money for the Listening Ear Crisis Center.

Wednesday evening 24 people participated in the Always Count on Your Partner for One: Charity Euchre Tournament held at the Central Michigan University Events Center Upper Lounge.

A group of five students from RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events, worked all semester to make the event a success and decided the money raised would go to Listening Ear Crisis Center, 107 E. Illinois St. “Every little bit helps, whether it is one dime or $30, and with the success of tonight, we would love to keep this as an annual thing,” said Kathy Tarrant, director of Listening Ear. Listening Ear is a nonprofit

organization committed to helping others through various means. It has a 24-hour crisis hotline, in-home assistance programs, child sexual abuse treatments and more.

“We had over 30,000 calls come in last year to our hotline,” Tarrant said. “This money will help us keep answering those calls.”

For $5, each participant received pizza, pop, donuts, a deck of cards and a seat in the euchre tournament. Raffle tickets were also given out to those who chose to provide a donation, giving those players the opportunity to win various prizes.

All the prizes were donated by local businesses and other sponsors, from a visa gift card to a movie package, said Shelby Thornton, event organizer and Clinton Township junior.

Participants ranged from beginning euchre players to experts who have been playing since childhood.

“I heard about this event through Facebook and decided to come because the money is going to a good cause, and trophies are cool, too,” said Traverse City senior Andy Innis.

The euchre tournament champions were Troy junior Crystal King and Gerald Strachota, a Mid Michigan Community College senior.

Their team accumulated the most points by the end of the fourth round and were awarded the grand prize of a gift basket filled with food coupons, gift certificates and free oil changes. They also received a trophy.

By the end of the night, the class raised about $300.

“Listening Ear is a good place that helps people,” said Kim Nunemaker, Mattawan senior and one of the event organizers. “It’s hard for them to get money — we want to keep the facility going.” studentlife@cm-life.com

PI SIGMA EPSILON

Fraternity wins Midwestern competition for third year straight

By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

As part of the Professional Sales Program, Pi Sigma Epsilon won the Pro-Am-Sell-aThon for the third consecutive year.

The Central Michigan University chapter was founded two and a half years ago. This year the competition was Nov. 4 at Miami University (of Ohio).

Fifty students competed and the group took the top two spots and had six students in the top 10. The students beat teams from Ohio State University, Purdue University and Ball State University, among others.

“We are now the team to beat,” said Ken Cherry, assistant professor of marketing and hospitality services administration. “We go in and we’re up against these bigger schools and we get it done.”

Cherry, the fraternity’s faculty adviser, said other schools like Ohio State were a little dismissive of CMU students.

“They acted like, ‘Who are these people?’ And that’s great, but look at the scoreboard. We win, and that’s pretty cool,” Cherry said.

Commerce Township senior Eric Blaszczyk won the first place spot and Greenville junior Mark Gustin took second.

Gustin agreed with Cherry about the arrogance of other schools.

“Every Ohio State student would say they were from ‘The’ Ohio State University,” Gustin said. “But as far as the program goes, it gets our name out there and it proves CMU has a great program. Our marketing program was in the Princeton Review recently as one of the top marketing programs in the country and this proves it.”

Gustin said the competition involved getting a scenario in advance and required selling to judges who were in the industry and sometimes recruiters. Each competitor had 12 minutes to make a sales call.

Judges later watched the tapes and selected the winner.

“It’s almost confirmation of everything that I’ve put not only into the organization, but into professional sales itself,” Gustin said.

Southgate senior Dan Stocking, the Student Government Association liaison for the fraternity, said tryouts were held for the students who were sent to the competition.

“Companies like AT&T and Northwestern (Mutual) came in for a face-to-face speed sell and people have to pitch why they should be allowed to represent CMU,” Stocking said.

Stocking and Gustin agreed the group would have had none of its success without Cherry.

“Professor Cherry has put in countless hours and he deserves recognition for that,” Gustin said. “I can’t even imagine where the program would be without him. I personally probably wouldn’t be in professional sales if it weren’t for him.” studentlife@cm-life.com

On the Rox to entertain today

By Melissa Beauchamp Staff Reporter

Expect current hits and oldies at the Broadway Theatre today.

Central Michigan University’s female a cappella group, On the Rox, will perform a 2011 fall concert at 7:30 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre, 216 E. Broadway St. Sterling Heights senior Stephanie Condne has been singing in OTR since her sophomore year.

Condne said the group of 15 girls will be singing 12 songs, many of which are popular on the radio.

“We will be performing Natasha Bedingfield, Sara Bareilles and throwing some oldies in there, like songs from The Beatles,” she said. “We are singing a Spice Girls song.”

During the concert there will be a raffle and a beat-box-

ing competition.

She said an a cappella group entirely composed of girls is rare.

“We’re spunky and we have a lot of fun,” she said. “We’re all about entertainment. Sound is important, but our numberone goal is to entertain.”

Condne said she has always loved singing, and was in choir and a cappella in high school.

The Michigan State University Accafellas are opening for Friday’s performance.

“The MSU Accafellas are awesome,” she said. “They open for us and get us really pumped.”

She said the MSU Accafellas have an amazing sound and range, and they pump up the audience without stealing the spotlight.

South Lyon junior Lauren Miloch, the president of the group, said she has been

a member of OTR since her freshman year.

“I’m really excited about the concert,” she said. “We’ve tried really hard to get some arrangements in there of old and new songs.”

She said the group encompasses good dynamics.

“I like the energy in the group,” she said. “I’ve (sung) my whole life. It’s kind of an irreplaceable aspect of my life.”

The tickets cost $5 and can be purchased in advance from an OTR member and $6 at the door. The money goes to fund competition fees and potential outfits for the group.

Fenton senior Samantha Wuerfel said the concerts generate a fun atmosphere.

“It’s impressive how much work a student group can put into it,” she said. “The crowd gets really into it.” studentlife@cm-life.com

This weekend will provide an opportunity for people to share their work and discuss human rights and social injustice with scholars from around the world.

The conference, Human Rights, Literature, the Arts and Social Sciences: An International Conference, will be held Friday and Saturday in the Bovee University Center.

Conference Convener and Professor of English language and literature Maureen Eke said the conference is internationally focused with scholars coming to mid-Michigan from Egypt, India, Ethiopia, Canada and Brazil.

“Any students interested in human rights and social injustice ... this is the conference for

LCME | CONTINUED FROM 3

According to “Rules of Procedure” found on the website, upon arrival, the survey team “conducts a site survey to verify and update information compiled in the school’s medical education database, clarify any issues that are unclear, view the environment and facilities for learning first-hand, and meet with administrators, faculty members and students.”

The team then meets with the dean of the school to discuss the purpose of the accreditation.

DRAFT | CONTINUED FROM 3

Lauren Krupsky served on the alumni priorities subcommittee and said the goals of the committee included introducing alumni to University President George Ross and helping him understand alumni interests. A survey by the committee found 94.2 percent of alumni had a “favorable impression” of CMU. The most frequent recommendation for change from alumni was to keep the cost of tuition down. Krupsky said keeping tuition affordable was an issue important to alumni because many former students have traditions for their children to attend the same university.

“They want to make sure it’s something they can afford for their kids so their kids can have

them,” Eke said.

Human rights and social injustice will be explored through a variety of outlets including literature, music, politics and plays.

Professor of English language and literature Ronald Primeau said present times are creating a lack of civility.

“The future of our country can no longer depend on isolation,” Primeau said. “We’ve had a history of not studying other cultures since World War II.” Admission to the conference is free to those affiliated with Central Michigan University, with a $10 charge for lunch if desired.

“It will focus on the human rights beyond the framework of human experience,” Eke said.

Those who attend will have the opportunity to hear from

scholars who have experienced human rights and social injustice issues.

Portions of the conference will take a look at environmental rights as human rights, Eke said.

Primeau said he deemed the event an interactive conference.

“There will not only be lectures, but panels inviting discussion,” Primeau said.

An extension of the conference will be held at the Ziibwing Center, 6650 E. Broadway St., with a focus on the rights of indigenous people.

“It’s an exploration of human rights from a diverse perspective,” Eke said. “It is a tremendous opportunity for students to hear what people are saying globally.”

The school must earn satisfactory evaluations in all of the following categories: Governance and Administration, Academic Environment, Educational Programs, Teaching, Curriculum Management, Admissions, Faculty and Educational Resources.

The survey team then collaborates each finding into a survey report that outlines whether the school met each requirement.

“The LCME bases its accreditation determination on the survey report, supplemented as necessary by information contained in the medical education database and the institutional self-study,” the website stated.

Schools may appeal the LCME rulings by coordinating a meeting with a review committee.

Full accreditation can take up to eight years to obtain and the LCME reserves the right to request status reports during that time.

LCME representatives were contacted for further information. Secretary and Senior Director of Accreditation Services Dan Hunt declined comment.

Secretary Barbara Barzansky was unavailable for comment and Assistant Secretary Robert Sabalis also declined comment.

the same experience when they’re here,” the Livonia senior said.

Krupsky said alumni relations are important because a lot of funding for anything on campus is brought through fundraisers, and alumni are going to be more willing to donate.

“If you have a good relationship with those alumni, they’re gong to be able to come back year after year and contribute to helping out on campus because they believe in what the school is doing,” she said.

Krupsky said it was important to have student input on the committee because, as a student, she is eventually going to be an alumna. She said she wanted to understand how alumni are treated so she can have a better relationship with the university after graduation.

Washington Township senior Rachel Thomas served on the subcommittee on business and community. She said in an

email there are many faculty members and students who are active in the community through organizations on campus. She said the point of the committees was to capitalize on the successful aspects and find ways to improve.

“Looking specifically at these groups, the relationship is strong and positive, but CMU could always improve on a better overall presence,” she said.

Thomas said the committee considered different demographics in the community and how CMU could improve its relations with local business, community members and faculty.

“Empowering CMU administration to be more present in the Mount Pleasant community by attending different community events is one of my favorite recommendations,” she said.

Noon tip-off against Wildcats

Trey Zeigler (left) and Austin McBroom (right) met in 2004 in California, but went their separate ways. The two are now teammates on the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

courtside chemistry McBroom, Zeigler, friends long before Central Michigan basketball

By John Manzo | Sports Reporter

About 2,268 miles have separated Trey Zeigler and Austin McBroom since 2006.

The two met at an Adidas Phenom camp in 2004, quickly became friends and went their separate ways.

In that time, McBroom went on to become a standout point guard at Campbell Hill High School in North Hollywood, Calif.

Zeigler turned into a highly-scouted guard at Mount Pleasant High School.

The two lost contact with each other for six years, but then their stars aligned.

And all it took was a phone call.

“We touched base probably a year ago to see how we were doing,” McBroom said “He called me and asked what school I committed to. I told him I was indecisive and after that, he said the team was looking for a point guard. I came to visit out here, got an opportunity and committed.”

He came to Mount Pleasant for the opportunity to play with his old friend an attempt to become a Central Michigan point guard.

UP NEXT CMU vs Ferris When: Saturday Time: 7 p.m.

Where: McGuirk Arena The relationship began at the Adidas Phenom camp and blossomed into more after realizing both lived in Palmdale, Calif.

“They would go over to Austin’s house, spend the night and work out with him there,” said Trey’s dad and CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler. “He had a gym at his house. They’d also wor kout at some local gyms there.”

That’s what McBroom and Trey loved to do.

“He moved around my neighborhood, maybe about 10 minutes away,” McBroom said. “We used to work out, probably almost every day.”

The two developed a bond through basketball, but it was put on hold when Ernie left his assistant coaching job at the University of California, Los Angeles for the head coaching position at CMU. McBroom and Trey understood the nature of the coach-

Confused by Penn State scandal

Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor I flipped between ESPN and CNN truly devastated and confused.

A man I looked up to and respected was fired for not doing enough to put away a child molester he worked with.

That isn’t what I was devastated or confused by.

Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno found out about his former defensive coordinator showering with and abusing a child in his facilities. But he didn’t do enough.

He told former PSU Athletics Director Tim Curley, but when he didn’t do anything, Paterno should have.

That isn’t what I was devastated or confused by, although it was still sickening.

The media constantly showed Paterno outside his house and students rioting, but

that isn’t the story. That’s not what had me devastated and confused.

I’m devastated and confused by what Jerry Sandusky did.

Gross, disgusting and inhumane.

I’m devastated and confused by the athletics director’s response to Paterno going to him with this information. He told Sandusky he can’t bring kids on campus any more and can’t shower with them here.

That’s why I’m devastated and confused. That’s why I’m disgusted.

It makes me sick.

I don’t have kids, but instantly tears began to well up thinking about if I did and if something like this happened to my kids.

And what if someone knew about it happening and did nothing to put this man behind bars? The athletic director knew in 2002 when a graduate assistant saw him in the shower with a boy and told Paterno.

That’s nearly a decade of this monster on the loose. It makes me sick to think of the kids he could have reached since then.

This isn’t a story about a legendary football coach.

I’m not devastated because a

man I used to adore did nothing. I’m nearly in tears thinking of these poor kids.

This man maintained a charity organization called Second Mile to get closer to disadvantaged and vulnerable children.

Outrageous, disgusting and unbelievable.

He used his status as PSU defensive coordinator to molest children.

So far there are eight known Sandusky victims. More will come forward.

That breaks my heart.

It disturbed me flipping the channels. Seeing rioters not rioting against Sandusky’s actions, but rather supporting their legendary coach.

Penn State students rioting: think about those poor victims, not who will stand on the sideline this weekend against Nebraska.

Listen to that legendary head coach when he leaves his house to tell you to pray for the victims.

So I watch these events continue to unfold. Read worse rumors of Sandusky’s schemes and I nearly get sick. I get angry, devastated and confused.

ing business and moved on with their lives.

Trey rose to a national level with his play at Mount Pleasant High School, becoming the No. 30 prospect in the nation, turning down offers from Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA and Arizona State to build a program with his father.

McBroom blossomed into a versatile point guard, averaging 25.1 points per game and 3.9 assists in his senior season of high school.

He received offers from California Riverside, Hawaii, Pepperdine, San Diego, UC Davis and UC-Santa Barbara and the Chippewas.

But it was a no-brainer for McBroom.

“I didn’t want to stay in California, I wanted to go to a school out of state,” McBroom said. “It was kind of about me being comfortable. I knew Trey and the type of player he was and being able to play with one of the best players in the country. I knew his dad was a great coach and I knew that there was a spot at the point guard that needed to be filled.”

The respect is mutual and Trey is glad to have McBroom aboard in an attempt to rebuild a program that hasn’t had a winning season since Ernie was hired as head coach.

“His basketball IQ is off the charts as a point guard and that’s what you need,” Trey said. “He knows how to give people shot as well as score himself.”

McBroom is different from the three other newcomers to the CMU roster. He worked out with Trey, establishing chemistry between them, but that also branches out to the entire team.

“Chemistry will be a huge part of the ultimate success of this team,” Ernie said. “As a group, everyone likes everyone. It’s a great chemistry that everyone has on this team. And Trey and Austin are definitely a part of that.”

McBroom and Trey are two games into their collegiate careers together and results have shown.

The two averaged 14 and 12 points respectively in two exhibitions this season.

The real season starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at McGuirk Arena against Ferris State.

One part of that game will be certain: McBroom and Trey are back together.

“It’s exactly how it was when we were little,” Trey said. “We were always goofing around and joking and he’s a fun guy to be around. I’m glad he came.”

Noon is an unusual time for a Friday basketball game, but that’s how the Central Michigan women’s basketball team will open its season.

The team will face Northwestern at McGuirk Arena today.

“We have to be able to rebound, especially our guards,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “Northwestern is very big inside and our guards need to box out. Against their defense, we need to make them shift.”

The Wildcats have six players above six-foot-two in comparison to the Chippewas two.

But playing big isn’t CMU’s style.

“We have our attack offense and we’ll press more than we pressed last year,” Guevara said.

Northwestern hosted the Chippewas in Evanston, Ill., on Dec. 11, 2010, winning 9284.

“The fans should expect a very high-paced, intense and loud game tomorrow,” said sophomore guard Niki DiGuilio.

NW lost guard Beth Marshall, who put up 34 points in the win against CMU and center Amy Jaeschke dropped 37 points. Jaeschke is now a member of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky. “They bring back (Brittany) Orban and (Kendall) Hackney and have the No. 14 recruiting class in the nation,” Guevara said. “It’s going to be challenging.”

The Chippewas bring back Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year, DiGuilio, junior guard Brandie Baker, senior forward Skylar Miller and MAC Sixth player of the Year Taylor Johnson, who will maintain her role as the sixth player.

The Central Michigan wrestling team continues preparation for the uphill climb it faces this coming season in the Michigan State open on Saturday.

The team will be without All-Americans Jarod Trice and Scotti Sentes who plan on redshirting.

Sentes is hampered by an injury while Trice is taking an Olympic redshirt.

CMU head coach Tom Borrelli will bring the entire team, which is contradictory to last year’s opens, when he took a few experienced players.

“We just felt some of our guys needed to get in action earlier in the year,” Borrelli said. “We have a young team, so we feel we need to be a little more seasoned and these are good opportunities.”

Borrelli looks forward to seeing his wrestlers square-off against some opponents who will not be donning a maroon and gold uniform.

”Really, it’s a chance for our guys to get matches in and see different styles, see different competitors and kind of gauge themselves,” Borrelli said. “It allows us as a coaching staff to know what we need to work on.”

Men’s basketball to face Ferris State in regular season opener

By John Manzo Sports Editor

The Ferris State men’s basketball team has at least one advantage over the Central Michigan men’s basketball team entering Saturday’s game.

And that’s playing competition.

The Bulldogs opened their exhibition schedule on Oct. 30 against Michigan State.

Although they lost, the team gained experience versus toptier competition and has a two-headed monster leading the way. “(Daniel) Sutherlin is an undersized forward who can play the three or the four,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler. “(Jerrell) Sanders is going to be a great challenge for us defensively” The two upperclassmen led FSU with 14 points each in the game against Michigan State.

The Bulldogs lost 85-58 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, but should not be intimidated when they come into McGuirk Arena at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

The Bulldogs finished last

season with a 24-8 record, having a winning record on the road (7-5).

Guard Dontae Molden was one of three players on FSU who started all 32 games last season. He scored 25 points in three exhibition games this season.

Molden will likely face an ultra-quick backcourt for CMU. Point guard Austin McBroom has been what he calls, “the floor general.” He’s averaged 14 points per game in the two exhibition wins over Marygrove and Northern Michigan, limiting himself to three turnovers.

McBroom has been a bright spot from long range, knocking down 62.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

Derek Jackson was third on the team with 7.5 points per game last season and second with 57 assists. He’s been doing more of the latter with more scorers on the floor.

“I like my ability to share the ball,” he said. “I’ve been getting everybody else shots.”

Jackson had eight assists in the exhibitions, including

UP NEXT CMU (0-0) vs Ferris State (0-0) When: Saturday Time: 7 p.m.

Where: McGuirk Arena

a game-high six in the 90-82 win against Northern Michigan last Saturday.

The 90 points against NIU weren’t even the most scored

by CMU so far this season.

The team scored 93 points in the win against Marygrove on Nov. 2, thanks in large part to more scorers and a runand-gun offense implemented by Zeigler.

“I’m very comfortable, I like running,” Jackson said about the offense. “We got more guys and are deeper this year.

Everybody can shoot, so us getting the ball up the court is going to benefit us well this year.”

Ferris State against Michigan potentially good thing for CMU

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team is catching Ferris State at the right time.

The Bulldogs face Michigan in Ann Arbor tonight and then come to Mount Pleasant on Saturday.

Back-to-back games are usually played in tournaments, such as the trip CMU takes to Anchorage, Alaska, playing in the Alaska Shootout beginning Nov. 24.

FSU comes off an exhibition loss to Calvin College Tuesday night. It went 1-2 in exhibition play, losing to Michigan State and beating Grace Bible.

Junior forward Daniel Sutherlin averaged 17 points

in the three exhibition games J e r r e l l Sanders adds length to the Bulldogs offense.

He’s 6-foot-4, 210 Ernie Zeigler pounds at the forward position.

CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler said, “Both are really athletic guys, Sanders is going to be a great challenge for us defensively. He can make shots from the perimeter and he’s really athletic at finishing at the basket.”

“It’s going to be interesting for us to have those type of caliber players to defend against.”

CMU and FSU have faced off 89 times. Only Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Alma and Northern Illinois have played CMU more in men’s basketball.

The Chippewas won 82-69 in the last meeting in 200910.

That same year was the last time CMU lost its season opener. The Chippewas fell to Princeton by three.

“It’s very important, putting in all the hard work in the offseason, it’s starting to show,” said CMU guard Derek Jackson. “We just want to start our season on the right foot and get off to a good start.” sports@cm-life.com

Four Chippewas placed in the top six in last year’s open at Michigan State.

Redshirt sophomore Kyle Waldo finished fifth in his first year at CMU after transferring from Nebraska. Adam Miller also placed fifth, while Christian Cullinan and Scott Mat-

should round out the starting five for the Chippewas.

They lead the all-time series 68-21 over the Bulldogs, a match-up that dates back to 1926.

CMU remains home after the weekend, facing Charlotte at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

ing for finishers.”

CMU held a closed-door scrimmage Sunday and Guevara liked what she saw from her team.

“It was good,” she said. “I got a chance to see a lot with different combinations. It served its purpose.”

A game against a Big Ten opponent will play a role at the end of the season when the NCAA Tournament committee looks at RPI rankings. A win

against the Wildcats could go a long way in determining if the Chippewas get into the NCAA Tournament if it fails to win the MAC Tournament.

“It would be a huge win and confidence boost that we’ll carry on for the rest of the season,” DiGuilio said. “It is import for us to give us the confidence to upset the bigger teams.”

tingly jostled for the sixth spot in their divisions.

Tyler Keselring, at 133 pounds, dominated the freshman/sophomore division. He added an exclamation point to his title, defeating Ohio’s Gavin Moore with a 15-4 major decision in the championship match.

Mattingly, Ben Bennett and Peter Sturgeon look to continue the momentum gained from wrestling with a crowd as wit-

nesses to their successful intersquad matches.

They won by a combined score of 42-11. Sam Hanau, Kurt Adler and Mike Murray were their adversaries.

“We’re really looking for our individuals to wrestle as good as they can and bring home some championships and figure out what we need to work on,” Borrelli said.

This is Trey’s team

Basketball position breakdown

By John Manzo Assistant Sports Editor

Here is a breakdown position-by-position of what fans can expect to see on the court for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

POINT GUARD Projected starter: Austin McBroom, 6-foot, 162-pound freshman.

Off the bench: John Morris 5-foot-10, 157, junior Jorddan Myric, 5-foot-11, 177, freshman McBroom earned the starting job with excellent three-point shooting and scoring ability he’s shown so far.

If the freshman slips up, he has two talented guards behind him. Morris has shown the ability to pass, dishing seven assists against Marygrove without turning the ball over, making his only shot.

Starting the season McBroom has sole possession of the starting role, though.

The true freshman from North Hollywood, Calif. has impressed coaches.

“What’s going to end up happening when the other team doesn’t stop him,” said head coach Ernie Zei-

gler. “He’s got the ability to score. When they do stop him it will take more than one person and it’s going to create opportunities for others.”

SHOOTING GUARD Projected starter: Derek Jackson, 6-foot, 171-pound sophomore.

Off the bench: Finis Craddock, 6-foot-1, 179-pound junior.

Austin Keel, 6-foot-3, 180-pound freshman.

Jackson has the ability to get above the rim and score.

Against Northern Michigan with the game very much in doubt, he showed he can knock down a crucial jump shot.

Keel led the team in scoring in the first exhibition game. He took 14 shots in 19 minutes, showing he’s not afraid to pull the trigger.

SMALL FORWARD Projected starter: Trey Zeigler, 6-foot-5, 203-pound sophomore.

Off the bench: Finis Craddock.

Trey won’t have to carry the offense by himself like he did much of last year. He said how blessed he feels this year compared to last year, having more options

for scoring.

“I’m not afraid to pass it to anyone on our team when they’re open,” Trey said.

“That leads to a lot of easy buckets for us.”

FORWARDS Projected starters: Olivier Mbaigoto, 6-foot-7, 225-pound junior and Andre Coimbra, 6-foot-9, 235-pound senior.

Off the bench: Colin Voss, 6-foot-7, 236-pound sophomore.

Jevon Harden, 6-foot-8, 222-pound sophomore.

Zach Saylor, 6-foot-8, 232-pound junior.

Coimbra and Mbaigoto are both junior-college transfers and both come from different countries.

Coimbra is from Brazil and is CMU’s big man down low. With his big 6-foot-9 frame the Chippewas look for him to rebound.

Mbaigoto has shown early that he can score in different ways, making threes and scoring down low. “(Mbaigoto) gives you a little bit of everything,” Trey said. “He’s going to be our glue guy. He rebounds, scores and also works hard.

We look for him to make hustle plays as well.”

Voss is the first big man off the bench. The Grand Rapids native played in 29 games last year as a freshman and can shoot well for his size. He finished the season 3-3 from three-point range last season.

Behind him are Jevon Harden and Zach Saylor.

After the exhibition season ended, Ernie said Harden looked uncomfortable on defense. He also said Saylor could be the fourth guy in the rotation.

This is still Trey Zeigler’s team.

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team has brought in a bunch of nice pieces surrounding him, but this team’s success will run through No. 0.

Zeigler, voted onto the preseason All-Mid-American Conference West team, still controls this team’s destiny.

Last year, even as a true freshman, he was the offense. At times, it looked like a chicken with its head chopped off. Look at the Eastern Michigan box score if you don’t believe me.

This year, with some complementary players around him, he will have a much easier time.

It will make a world of a difference for CMU, but when it comes down to crunch time, look to number zero.

When Northern Michigan made a second-half run at the Chippewas, it was Zeigler who stepped up.

Zeigler was blocking shots and getting rebounds, going the length of the court and finishing.

He will pick his spots to attack, but when the team needs it, Trey will be able to attack opposing defenses.

His role is different this year too.

Last year it was an awkward transition between older players with Zeigler taking over the team.

Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

There’s no questions this year, it’s Trey’s team.

He said it after the first exhibition.

“Last year I was trying to find my way myself,” Zeiger said. “I feel more of a captain now. This is my team and these are my guys.”

That has to excite CMU fans.

He seems poised and confident. He took over against Northern Michigan in the second half, battling a cold and blister on his foot.

It will be a huge boost to have other scorers around him, but don’t get confused when you see Trey not putting up big numbers early.

This is his team and he will be taking the big shots.

So enjoy watching Austin McBroom light up the scoreboard early in games or Olivier Mbaigoto fill the box score.

But when it’s winning time, still be glued to Zeigler. Because whether he makes it or misses it, it will be his last-second shot to take. sports@cm-life.com

BASKETBALL

Senior Andre Coimbra leads young group Zeigler hopes he can make the jump from junior college

By John Manzo Sports Editor

Only one senior fits in the starting rotation for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

Center Andre Coimbra will be heavily relied on as a leader, a scorer and a defensive presence on a team loaded with youth, but limited in size.

“We’re hopeful that he can make that same jump that (junior college) transfers that we’ve had in the past like Marcus Van and Jalin Thomas made from their junior to senior years,” said

head coach Ernie Zeigler at CMU’s media day on Oct. 18.

Coimbra is one of five forwards expected to earn a majority of playing time.

The 6-foot-9 center played in all 31 games as a junior, but struggled to stay on the floor because of foul trouble.

“It’s going to be extremely important for Andre to stay out of foul trouble,” Zeigler said. “It’s been a point of emphasis in this first week of practices.”

His 19.6 minutes per game ranked last out of all CMU starters last season.

Coimbra was a newcomer from Northeastern Oklahoma A & M last season and instantly became a fan favorite. He dons an afro and a defensive presence that resembles Detroit Pistons

“We worked all summer in the weight room, getting more pounds on, each day is just one more day for work.

center Ben Wallace.

His energy brought sparks to the Chippewas during last season, but his emotions got to the best of him at times.

Coimbra finished last season with a team-best 114 fouls, averaging 3.7 per game. He fouled out 11 times.

“For him, it’s partly because of the vigor and enthusiasm he plays with,” Zeigler said. “He has to change in terms of not looking to make a play that we

don’t need him to make defensively. I think he’s starting to understand that.”

Coimbra means to be someone the Chippewas must rely on. He said he put the work in over the summer and is ready for the season.

“We worked all summer in the weight room, getting more pounds on,” Coimbra said. “Each day is just one more day for work.”

Volleyball team wants momentum heading into MAC Tournament Faces Toledo, Ball State this weekend

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

weekendideas

Central Michigan volleyball is trying to piece itself together before the Mid-American Conference championships.

CMU is trying to better its position in the tournament with a MAC Tournament bid already intact, but it aims to improve before the tourna-

ment, traveling to Toledo and Ball State.

“I keep telling my team to put it all together,” said head coach Erik Olson.

“We’ve had points where all our phases of the game are going well, but the last few matches we haven’t.”

The Rockets come into the match looking to obtain a bid. They took the Chippewas to five games on Oct. 8.

“They’re fighting to get into the tournament,” Olson said. “They have a slim shot, but they are fighting.”

BALL STATE The Cardinals know they have a tournament bid locked up, But it doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to play for.

BSU is fighting for a No. 1 seed and a share of the MAC regular season championship, aiming to outlast Western Michigan and Northern Illinois for it.

“We’re going to play against two motivated teams this weekend and I keep challenging the team to play their best ball,” Ol-
