CMED issues, concerns spark several FOIA requests By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter
At least three groups have filed Freedom of Information Act requests asking for information on the details of the College of Medicine. The Central Michigan University Faculty Association, Academic Senate and Central
Michigan Life have not received their requests. On Monday, General Counsel Manuel Rupe received one request from the Academic Senate and three from the Faculty Association, Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said. CM Life also sent a request on Oct. 24, and received a re-
sponse requesting an extension. A-Senate Chairman Jim McDonald sent the request on behalf of the A-Senate. He said he requested the original application for CMED’s accreditation, information regarding CMED’s finances and the upcoming Liasion Committee on Medical Education visit to
campus Sunday. McDonald had tried to reach University President George Ross and Ernest Yoder, founding dean of CMED, but had not received a response. McDonald then contacted LCME and received an answer within 24 hours. The university’s continued lack of open communication
on the matter, McDonald said, is exactly the reason why the FOIA requests were necessary. “I feel like I have had to do it all on my own,” he said. “They have not been forthcoming with requests for information.” By law, the university must respond to a FOIA request within five business days.
LCME to meet with A-Senate during visit
CMU can request a time extension or a clarification on the material, but it cannot withhold the information without legitimate reason for longer than 10 days. Smith said he did not know why the information was not already online for the public.

Students beat system to register early Problem now solved, penalties undecided
Group will talk with four members next week

The Academic Senate’s request to be involved the with upcoming Liaison Committee on Medical Education visit has been granted. During the LCME visit next week, four faculty members will be invited to spend 45 minutes with LCME members to discuss their concerns about the College of Medicine. Jim McDonald, A-Senate chairman, is organizing the meeting. “I sent a request to LCME myself and they came back and said four faculty members could (talk) for a total of 45 minutes,” McDonald said. “I’m on the committee and I’m forming it.” The LCME will be on campus from Sunday through Nov. 16. McDonald originally sent an email about the visit to University President George Ross and Ernest Yoder, founding dean of CMED, on Nov. 2. He said he received no response. He called their lack of communication “frustrating.” “I hadn’t heard anything, so I made my own outreach to the LCME accreditation team and they granted it,” McDonald said. On Thursday, he sent a direct request to LCME and his message was returned in less than 24 hours. McDonald said the four faculty members have not yet been selected. He said they will not be there to discuss their problems with the university, but with accreditation issues. “They’re only interested in concerns about the standards A LCME | 2A

‘what he would want’ Sophomore promotes bone marrow donor registration in memory of late friend By Brad Canze | Staff Reporter After the death of her best friend in July, Sam Licari decided to continue working for the causes of leukemia and bone marrow donations. Licari, a Shelby Township sophomore, organized a drive to register bone marrow donors Tuesday in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. “I know that’s what he would want, and that smile on his face when I told him I would do it, that just replays in my mind all the time,” she said. Licari became friends with Kyle Nicholson while they were both attending Eisenhower High School. After graduating together, they both decided to go to Central Michigan University as freshmen in the fall 2010 semester, and were placed in rooms across the hall from each other in Sweeney Hall.

As an actor, Tatanka Means often has to deal with a film industry that created and maintains many of the negative misconceptions regarding American Indian culture. Means, a member of the Ogala Lakota, Omaha and Navajo tribes, spoke Tuesday night in
Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium for the Native American Heritage Month keynote speech. More than 500 were in attendance for the event, which was sponsored by Central Michigan University and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. Means spoke about stereotypes he often encounters as an American Indian and roles in American movies of American Indians. One member of the audience asked Means how he felt about the representation of American Indians in the “Twilight” movie series.

Some students have outsmarted the registration system by advancing the clocks on their computers to register for classes early. However, it did not take long for the Office of the Registrar to discover the problem and solve the issue. “Our office became aware of this and the problem was fixed shortly after we became aware of it,” said Registrar Karen Hutslar. Hutslar said although the problem is solved, the office is still figuring out how to find the students who took part in the early registration and then come up with a way to penalize those students involved. Although many Central Michigan University students were not aware of the issue, after finding out about the illegitimate registration, some students said they feel it is an unfair advantage. “I think it’s mostly wrong for upperclassmen who wanted the classes,” said West Bloomfield sophomore Adam Chuchla. “I’m glad that they fixed the system so kids cannot register earlier than they’re allowed to.” Austin junior Meaghan Fortsch agreed with Chuchla. She said she is most worried that underclassmen could be taking spots that older students may need to fulfill graduation requirements. “I think it is unfair to the upperclassmen who are being cheated out of classes that they may need to be able to graduate,” Fortsch said.

Gary John Reen pleaded guilty Monday to second-degree murder and to felony use of a firearm. Reen, 56, was charged with open murder when he went to the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department on April 1 and said he shot his wife, Cheryl Reen. When the police went to Reen’s home, 7120 East River Road in Chippewa Township, Reen’s wife was found dead on the ground in their pole barn after having been shot multiple times, according to a press release sent out by Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick.

In February of this year, Nicholson was diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia. His hope fell on finding a matching bone marrow donor for a transplant. After his diagnosis, Licari and 11 of Nicholson’s other friends, dubbed “Team Kyle,” organized several fundraisers and three bone marrow donor registration drives, which registered more than 700 potential donors, and found matches for four leukemia patients needing bone marrow transplants. “I’m going to try to make this an annual thing,” Licari said of holding registration drives at CMU. Despite finding three matching bone marrow donors, Nicholson was never healthy enough

the medical school is addressing and asking them to accredit them in,” McDonald said. Faculty Association President Laura Frey said she will not be selected for the meeting, but is supportive of the A-Senate. She said a possible reason the LCME had not previously looked into the FA’s opinion is because the university kept it off its radar. “It wasn’t the LCME that didn’t intend it, but the CMU administration,” Frey said. Tensions over CMED reached a peak during the A-Senate meeting on Nov. 1, when David Smith, professor of philosophy and religion, presented a resolution aimed at halting work on the CMED. The resolution read “all work by, toward, and on behalf of the College of Medicine pertaining to curriculum, non-curricular policies and procedures, and faculty recruitment be suspended until such time as the above concerns have been addressed by and to the satisfaction of the Academic Senate.” Although it passed with a 76-percent vote, it is unclear what type of response the action will garner. university@cm-life.com

The court asked several questions to Reen to make sure he was aware of the rights he was voluntarily waiving entering a plea, all of which Reen understood. After Reen made his plea, the defense attorney was asked to elucidate facts for a pleaing code. “Anytime someone pleads guilty, the court has to obtain a factual basis from them as to why they plead they’re guilty of the crime,” Burdick said. The court accepted the plea after determining it was accu-
rate, and he was then scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 8. Reen will also have to see a probation officer, who will conduct a pre-sentence report. Reen’s case was originally scheduled for trial on Dec. 12, the press release stated. This trial has been canceled after Reen’s guilty plea. Reen’s charges also led to the termination of his job as a maintenance technician at Copper Beech Townhomes, 4750 E. Bluegrass Road, according to a letter sent to tenants on April 6. Reen could be sentenced to life in prison in addition to a two-year prison sentence for the firearm conviction.
“My hope would be (the university) follow their ethical obligation and provide the documents to the FOIA request in a prompt and reasonable time frame,” Frey said. The general counsel has until Tuesday to answer the FA, A-Senate and CM Life’s requests. “This extension is being taken because the University submitted one 4-inch and two 3-inch binders to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education consisting of an estimated couple
thousand pages,” Rupe said in a letter to CM Life explaining the need for more time. CM Life’s FOIA designates the want for any documents regarding the institutional setting, faculty and educational resources of CMED. “I hand-delivered them to general counsel for efficiency,” Frey said. “They can’t say they didn’t get them.” Rupe was unavailable for comment and calls to Yoder were directed to Smith.
for a transplant. He died July 7 at age 19. “He was an absolutely fabulous person who touched people’s lives,” said Elaine Nicholson, Kyle’s mother, in July. “He was a very special person in a positive way.” Licari said she was with Nicholson the day he died, and until that day she believed he would beat his leukemia. “I didn’t know this until after he died, but he lied to me about what kind of leukemia he had ... because it was the kind with the worst outlook,” Licari said. “I noticed he was getting worse, but again I never thought he wouldn’t make it through” Licari said the day Nicholson died was the hardest of her life. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him,” she said. “I try to kind of live my life like, ‘Would Kyle like it if I did this?’”
Licari registers donors for bone marrow transplants through DKMS, a German organization that registers donors around the world. More information can be found at http://getswabbed.org. Sault Ste. Marie freshman Sam Strahl was one of about 75 new potential donors registered Tuesday. “I saw chalk on the ground and thought, ‘Why not?’” Strahl said. “My dad’s friend was saved by a bone marrow transplant. I thought if I could do it, then why not? I mean, I don’t need all of it.”

Football, men’s basketball have bright futures
By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter
The scenario was quite different the last time the Central Michigan football team took on the Ohio Bobcats. Instead of looking to end a disappointing season on a high point, the Chippewas were one win away from a Mid-American Conference title – and they got it. Dan LeFevour threw for 255 yards, two scores and CMU won 20-10 against OU. Now, junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff finds himself leading a 3-7 team coming off a 24-21 loss at the hands of Kent State, just itching to play a full four quarters of football. “We’re a resilient team,” said head coach Dan Enos. “We’ve been in a lot of these games and I hate to say we’re getting used to it because we’re not, it hurts.” Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. The Chippewas return home after a three-game road streak, still bogged down with injuries. Junior wideout Cody Wilson (lower-body injury) will miss his second consecutive game, forcing the team’s young receiver core to continue to shine. Freshman Titus Davis is coming off a 10-catch, 192yard performance Friday and freshman Courtney Williams added 47 yards on six receptions. “Cody is great and over the summer he taught me a lot when we’d come out here and throw and he would help me with my routes,” Davis said. “Without him, it’s been a big loss — he’s a great player and a great teammate.” With Davis’ big game last week, his 577 receiv-
The Central Michigan women’s soccer team will watch the first round of the NCAA Tournament from home for the first time in three seasons. The Chippewas had hopes for a third-straight bid into the NCAA Tournament dashed on Monday when they were left out of the field of 64. CMU appeared to be on its way to what would have been a Mid-American Conference record third-straight tournament appearance, but its 1-0 loss to Western Michigan in the MAC Tournament semifinals turned out to be enough to exclude the Chippewas. “I think we struggled a bit getting going,” said head coach Neil Stafford after the loss. “I thought Western Michigan had great energy and they really controlled parts of the game.” The Chippewa’s rival from Kalamazoo had their number
this season, being the only MAC team to defeat CMU. WMU also won the regular season meeting on Oct. 14. “Full credit to Western,” Stafford said.” But I feel like this is one that got away from us with all the pressure and opportunities we had.” Even with the loss, CMU still had a chance to make the tournament as an at-large team. The Chippewas had wins over power conference teams such as Pittsburgh, Louisville and Wisconsin. CMU finished the season ranked 53rd in the country. If the Chippewas would have made the tournament, it would have been the first at-large bid the MAC has ever received. In the end, it wasn’t meant to be. “We have had a quality program the last couple years,” Stafford said. “You could say we have had a great year, but it all comes down to conference play.” CMU finishes its season with a record of 15-3-3.

ing yards ranks first on the team, with Wilson’s 522 yards coming in second. Davis and Williams are tied for second in touchdowns, scoring (four) behind tight end Davis Blackburn’s five. “Titus Davis is very good,” Enos said. “He had a huge game and we see him get better every week and that’s credit to coach (Taylor) Stubblefield. They’re working on the little things and we’re seeing those things show up in games.” The offensive line that has been key this season continues to be dealt bad news. Junior Eric Fisher joins senior Rocky Weaver on the list of linemen out for the season after suffering a knee injury against Kent State. “(Weaver and Fisher) are great guys, great O-linemen and we look up to them as leaders,” Davis said. “It was hard to lose them, but we’ve had guys step in and do a good job.” Defensively, Enos expects senior Mike Petrucci to be back in the lineup at linebacker after missing the
last four games. The defensive captain’s return is much needed for a young team lacking leadership on the field. “(Petrucci’s) a great leader on the field and we’ve really missed him,” said cornerback John Carr. “The young guys have played well, but him coming back out there will really help us out.” If Petrucci is cleared to play, the linebacker core will finally be back in full swing for the first time since week two against Kentucky, just in time for a strong Ohio team. The Bobcats come into Mount Pleasant with a scoring offense ranked third in the MAC (32.2 ppg) and a defense ranked second (21.6 ppg). “Their quarterback is playing very well right now and progressing as the year goes on,” Enos said. Offensively, quarterback Tyler Tettleton will be at the helm, leading an upperclassman-laden team. Senior running back Donte Harden averages 99.7 yards
on the ground and senior receiver LaVon Brazill averages 81.6 receiving. When it comes to defending a quality receiver like Brazill, Carr said he enjoys the challenge. “It’s not football unless you go up against someone who’s good and you always want to see how you compare against someone else,” he said. “It’s going to be a fun day.” CMU has won four straight against the Bobcats and lead the all-time series 21-4-2. sports@cm-life.com

In sports, the only thing that matters are wins and losses. That’s not debatable. You are only as good as your last game or play. But if you think about Central Michigan’s future, it looks bright for men’s basketball and football. This is what the average CMU fan probably says: “Matt, you are an idiot, the football team is 3-7 and basketball went 10-21 last year. Quit drinking the maroon and gold Kool-Aid.” After I set down my juice box, I thought more about it. Yes, this year the football team is struggling and it won’t surprise me if it loses the next two games. But are you seeing how talented these freshmen are? Wide receiver Titus Davis looks like the second coming of Antonio Brown, wearing number 84 and hauling in everything Ryan Radcliff throws to him. He’s coming off a 10-catch, 197-yard two-touchdown performance. Courtney Williams isn’t far behind him. The fellow true freshman caught six passes for 47 yards and a touchdown against Kent State. “They have a lot of confidence, very athletic, good size and attack the football,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “It amazes me sometimes to watch these guys practice and think they’re only true freshmen.” True freshman running back Anthony Garland earned the start last week and is showing how effective he has been in his first year. The football team has struggled this year, but these freshmen should only improve and

their potential is high. On the hardwood it’s more of the same, only the results might be coming sooner than football. Sophomore Trey Zeigler isn’t a freshman finding his way. He’s the leader and captain of the Chippewas. And he actually has weapons to work with. He spoke after the first exhibition game about how he’s confident passing to any of his teammates and they will score. I have the feeling he didn’t have that last year. Newcomers Austin McBroom and Olivier Mbaigoto figure to be double-digit scorers. McBroom, a true freshman, already looks capable to run the offense, while consistently knocking down threes. Mbaigoto a junior college transfer, adds an instant presence inside for rebounding and scoring. Andre Coimbra is the only senior in the starting five. Surrounding him is youth that will continue to grow and improve through each game they play together. CMU students might assume they are in the dark days of CMU sports (for football and men’s basketball), but stay tuned. As long as you’re not a senior, I think you will see a few Mid-American Conference titles before you leave Mount Pleasant.
Exhibition games used to fix problems for men’s basketball By John Manzo Sports Editor
Exhibition games are played for a reason. The Central Michigan men’s basketball team used its two exhibition games to find out what works and what doesn’t. And if it didn’t work, the team wants it fixed before Saturday’s opener against
Ferris State at 7 p.m. Saturday in McGuirk Arena. “Our toughness is very much in question right now,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler. “We addressed it in our film session and our practice. When I say our toughness, I say our rebounding. Overall defensively, we need to get better with our scheme and pressure the ball and contest
shots. We have a ways to go there. That’s what the exhibition games are for.” CMU won both its exhibitions games, winning 93-36 against Marygrove on Nov. 2 and 90-82 against Northern Michigan on Saturday. The Chippewas implemented a more run-and-gun offense, looking to push the ball up the floor with freshman point guard Austin Mc-
Broom. Two 90-plus scoring games is evidence the offense has worked early. “I’m very comfortable, I like running,” said guard Derek Jackson. “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.” Trey Zeigler went 6-for-13

from the free-throw line in the exhibition season. He is someone who can get to the basket, almost at will, so knocking down free throws could be critical in lategame situations. Ernie doesn’t expect it to be a long-lasting problem, but said it is a concern. “It’s a concern because he’s put in the time and I think it’s more mental than
it is anything else,” he said. “He’s in the gym, shooting 200 free throws. It’s about repetition, 200 free throws a night and he’ll have shot over a 1,000 free throws by the time he plays his next game. I know he’ll be able to step up and knock’em down.” sports@cm-life.com

Women’s basketball hosts second annual Hoops for Hunger Friday By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
Friday is an important day for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team. Not only will it open its 2011-12 season against Northwestern, but the game will be the second annual Hoops for Hunger. Hoops for Hunger is a charity event where the Chippewas team up with local area schools in order to fight against hunger. “This is a great event for us to be a part of,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “This is a small contribution we can do for the community that supports us so well.” The goal is to create competition between the schools
to see who can collect the most food. Last year, the Chippewas collected more than 42,000 pounds of food throughout the event. Montabella Schools raised the most out of any school, collecting the equivalent of 10,000 pounds of food. “We really got involved when some members of my staff went out and were shown a presentation,” Guevara said. “It was about people who needed food and couldn’t afford to buy it and how we could help them.” As a result, CMU coaches and players have gone out and tried to encourage students to get involved. The goal is to beat last years total. Many area schools are expected to attend Friday’s
season opener, including Coleman Schools, Belding Schools, Montabella Schools, Mary McGuire Elementary, Fancher Elementary, Sacred Heart Academy, Chippewa Hills Middle School and Petoskey High School. “The main purpose is to teach our young kids how to reach out and help others.” Guevara said. The Chippewas play against Northwestern following the Hoops for Hunger festivities, with all the schools in attendance. “We have a Big Ten team coming into McGuirk,” Guevara said. “I expect it to be a full house, it should be a good atmosphere. sports@cm-life.com
Offensive line injuries plaguing football team By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter
Left tackle Eric Fisher will be sidelined for the remaining two games of the season after suffering a knee injury last week against Kent State. The junior started the first nine games of the season and Thursday’s matchup will end his consecutive game streak at 19. “That’s a huge blow for us, he was playing outstanding and he’s a leader in that group,” said head coach Dan Enos. “We had to put (Mike) Repovz in at left tackle and he hasn’t played there all year, but he went in and did an admirable job. Aaron McCord came in and did a decent job.” Fisher isn’t the first loss for Central Michigan’s offensive
line this season. Right tackle Jake Olson was sidelined with an upper body injury he suffered against Eastern Michigan and has missed the past three games. Senior Rocky Weaver slid over from right guard to fill in for the injured Olson, but it was short-lived as he endured a shoulder injury, requiring season-ending surgery. With Weaver and Fisher out and Olson’s status questionable for Thursday’s game against Ohio, Enos has had to look deeper down his depth chart to protect quarterback Ryan Radcliff. “Just the other day, Fisher got assigned an assistant captain,” Radcliff said. “His leadership, we’ll lose a bit of that, but those younger guys have been preparing all year for this.”
Andy Phillips has started three-straight games at center and will get the start Thursday. Henry will start for the third-straight week at right tackle and McCord will make his first start of the season at right guard. “We all have things to work on, but they come to work every day and they’ll get better as the days go on,” Repovz said. “We know we can get it down, we just need to execute.” Fisher appeared in eight games his freshman season and nine his sophomore year. He has put in time at right tackle, right guard and left tackle. The Rochester native has another year of eligibility, while Weaver has played in his last game for CMU.
The Central Michigan football team last faced Ohio at Ford Field for the Mid-American Conference championship in 2009. When the Chippewas take the field Thursday night at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium, they won’t have a championship to play for, but the Bobcats will. They are tied for first place in the MAC East division with a 3-2 conference record. “They’re a very good team, very well coached,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “Old veteran team. They have 27 juniors and seniors in their two deep. Their program has continuity and they’re solid every year because of that.” Ohio linebacker Noah Keller had a MAC Championship record 16 tackles in that championship game. “He’s very good player,” Enos said. “He can be dominant at times.” The Bobcats offense has a facet the Chippewas haven’t seen much of this season: A mobile quarterback. Tyler Tettleton, former Detroit Tiger great Mickey Tettleton’s son, has had success running the option for Ohio. “They run the option and they do a very good job of it,” Enos said. “They can throw the ball a bit, too.” The option is meant to draw the defense in, then the quarterback pitches the ball to the running back with space to run. “Just got to contain them,” said CMU cornerback John Carr. “We can’t have them running up and down the field and nobody on him. Really haven’t seen much (option offense), but we practice it all the time just in case. We’ll be prepared for that.”
When Tettleton pitches it, the football usually goes to running back Donte Harden. He broke an Ohio record for all-purpose yards last week with 322 yards. He rushed for 184 yards, caught for 75 and had 63 yards returning. “He has tremendous athletic talent as a running back and is an extremely tough, tough individual,” said Ohio head coach Frank Solich. “Those two things, when you add them up, generally produce an outstanding running back.”
Junior receiver Cody Wilson didn’t play receiver against Kent State, but was the holder on field goal attempts. He has a streak of 28 consecutive games with a reception and that streak wasn’t broken. NCAA rules say players who appear in a game as a placement holder on kicks don’t officially participate in the game. Enos said Wilson won’t be back for Ohio, but hopes he can return against Toledo, but that’s still in doubt. sports@cm-life.com

IN THE NEWS
Police: PSU failed to stop abuse By Mike Dawson Centre Daily Times, State College, Pa.
HARRISBURG — Penn State officials had three opportunities to stop Jerry Sandusky from preying on young boys but failed to take action, state police Commissioner Frank Noonan said Monday at a news conference with Attorney General Linda Kelly. “This is not a case about football, it’s not a case about universities — it’s about children who have their innocence taken from them and a culture that did not nothing to stop it or prevent it from happening to others,” Noonan said. Two Penn State administrators are charged with lying to the grand jury and failing to report an abuse allegation. Kelly said Monday that head coach Joe Paterno was a witness for the grand jury and faces no charges. However, when asked if Spanier could face charges, Kelly said only that the investigation is ongoing. And spokesman Nils Frederiksen
said Penn State president Graham Spanier was not a witness for the grand jury when he testified about what he knew regarding a 2002 incident in which a graduate assistant reported seeing Sandusky sexually assault a boy in Penn State’s Lasch Football Building. Paterno had testified that the then-graduate assistant, who’s been identified as wide receivers coach Mike McQueary, reported the incident to him as fondling or something sexual. Paterno released a statement Sunday saying he wasn’t told of the specific acts, just that it was inappropriate conduct. Paterno reported what he knew to Athletic Director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, former senior vice president for business and finance. “We believed that under the statute he had an obligation to report it to school administrators,” Kelly said, “and he did that.” “The graduate assistant described what he saw, the prosecutors took into consideration his age, the way he reacted when he saw this,
the fact that he immediately contacted his father to seek advice because he was so shocked by this, and then early the next day immediately contacted someone he thought was an authority figure, Joe Paterno, who’s the coach of the Penn State football team,” Kelly said. Curley and Schultz did not report the incident to police or child protective services, she said. The two were arraigned on the charges in Dauphin County on Monday, and their attorneys said they are innocent and the charges against them are baseless. The charges were filed Saturday, after a two-year subsequent investigation found evidence that Sandusky selected boys he’d met through The Second Mile, the charity he started in 1977 for at-risk youth, lavished them with gifts, and earned their trust. In the showers of Penn State football buildings, at his home, and in hotel rooms, according to the grand jury, he fondled and had sex with eight young boys between 1994 and December 2008.

Mixed reactions from college of Science and Technology By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter
Editors note: This is the fifth story in a series about Academic Prioritization. The Academic Prioritization report has recommended more programs for reduction of resources than for enhancement in the College of Science and Technology. A total of 87 programs were ranked in the college — the second most of any college after the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Four programs were ranked Priority 1 and 32 programs were ranked Priority 4 or 5. Ian Davison, CST dean, said in a letter to all CST faculty and staff on Oct. 28 he intends to use the rankings as a guide for the allocation of resources over the next few years. Davison said prioritization is a guide for future investments. “In common with all institutions of higher education, CMU cannot be all things to all people and we must focus our human resources, time and money on those areas that offer the best prospect for success in advancing the goals of the college and university,” he said. Davison said in an email prioritization was an objective process based on data that carefully analyzed university and career trends as well as faculty input. “It is important to remember that the rankings are not primarily a judgment on quality, but on where the college can best invest resources to ensure we offer students high-quality programs that are relevant to their future careers and that will position them to be successful in a rapidly changing technological society,” he said. Davison said the college does not plan to ask Provost Gary Shapiro to make changes unless rankings have been based on inaccurate information. Koblar Jackson, physics department chairman, said he was very pleased to see the physics masters program ranked Priority 1 because it is a reflection of the hard work of faculty and graduate students in the department. He said the physics undergraduate program was ranked Priority 4 because, although it has the same level of quality, it is a small program. “We recognize that the prioritization process is a way of trying to identify university priorities,” he said. “In this case, the undergraduate physics program is not seen as one of the more important things for the university as a whole.” The physics department is using the prioritization results to try to improve programs, Jackson said. Shapiro said during the Academic Prioritization fo-
rum on Oct. 31 that resources are being shifted from the physics undergraduate program to 500 and 600-level classes for the masters program. “We’ve established the physics major is a highquality major with a low demand,” Shapiro said. Mohamad Qatu, school of engineering and technology department chairman, said in an email the department was pleased to see almost half of its programs ranked Priorities 1 and 2. He said the department is considering deleting programs ranked Priorities 4 and 5 or introducing new programs to replace them. Qatu said prioritization was generally fair and reflected the opinion of the faculty of where programs should be. “It is a good tool to make sure that faculty and administrations are aligned on priorities,” he said. Biology Professor Elizabeth Alm said prioritization was a lot of work and she is uncertain the outcome justifies the amount of work that went into the process. “It seems as though some

of these decisions were made prior to the prioritization process and the evidence put together during prioritization was not regarded as extensively as it could have been,” she said. She said she does not have concerns about biology programs that were ranked Priorities 4 and 5, but there are programs she believes should have been ranked more highly. “I don’t know if the final ranking reflected the ranking that came out of the department,” she said. Greenville graduate student Chris Finch is in the biology masters program, which was ranked Priority 2. He said in an email he thinks the ranking was fair. “Most of the students in my program have teaching assistantships, so it does not generate a lot of money for the college,” he said. “However, we teach labs which saves the university money from having to hire faculty to teach biology labs, which has thousands of undergraduates go through each year.”

Alumnus one of 10 worldwide chosen for Japan internship Interns conducted geology research By Andrea peck Staff Reporter
Alumnus Adam Richmond was one of about 10 students chosen from around the world to be a Misasa student intern in Japan conducting original geology research. For six weeks in July and August, he studied at the Institute for Study of the Earth’s Interior, located at Okayama University in Misasa, Japan. He summed up his research as “finding the age of rock in Japan, looking at plate boundaries and relating it to seismic activity and tectonic movement.” “We conducted a science project using physics and analytical planetary chemistry,” Richmond said. Analytical planetary chemistry is a specific area of study that looks at magma formation and earthquakes. Scientists then use various dating methods and analyze isotopes and elemental redistribution to gain a better understanding of the origin, dynamics and evolution of the Earth and other planets. The field uses a combination of petrology, mineralogy, geochronology and geochemistry. Students were split up into research groups, and at the conclusion of the internship, students were required to put together oral presentations about their research, he said. Martin Steinbis, Earth and atmospheric sciences adjunct, served as one of Richmond’s references for the internship. Richmond served as an

undergraduate teaching assistant for Steinbis’ geologic field course in 2010 before graduating last May. “Adam is a very strong candidate for the position because he is very self-disciplined. He adapts quickly to new situations,” Steinbis said. Sven Morgan, Earth and atmospheric sciences chairman, also served as a reference for Richmond. “He was a great student in our department,” Morgan said in an email. “He is really bright, he worked hard, he asked questions, came in to see his professors and is very mature. He also volunteered around the department. I thought going to Japan would be an excellent experience for him and it worked out really well.” Steinbis said he spent 20 years in the field of international energy and feels strongly about the importance of international exposure for regional colleges such as Central Michigan
University. “I very strongly believe that the opportunity for international experience for CMU students is essential,” Steinbis said. Morgan said Richmond is currently applying to graduate schools for geology. “Living in Japan was a big adjustment,” Richmond said. “One of the biggest adjustments was learning how to talk to Japanese people. They spoke English but I couldn’t speak at the same level of English that I would normally speak. It was a mental workout.” He said he also had difficulty reading Japanese signs and getting around. For example, he went to the grocery store and couldn’t find anything because all the labels were in Japanese. “I ended up buying what I thought was ketchup and it turned out it was hot sauce,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com
Holocaust survivor to speak tonight By Hailee sattavara Staff Reporter
More than 60 years later, the sound of shattering glass still echoes through history. Known as “The Night of Broken Glass,” Kristallnacht was a series of attacks against Jews in Nazi Germany Nov. 9 and 10, 1938. Guy Stern will share his knowledge of Kristallnacht, the most significant night of the Holocaust, at 8 p.m. tonight in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. Admission is free. Eric Johnson, professor of history, said Stern lectured the German Parliament about the history of the Holocaust. “He’s the intellectual head of the Farmington Hills Holocaust Memorial Center,” Johnson said. He is now the director of the International Institute of the Righteous at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills. Johnson said Stern is a survivor of the Holocaust, as a German Jew born in Germany who is now 89-years-old and full of life. “In short, that night still sears into Jewish consciousness and into the conscious-
ness of all righteous people everywhere,” Stern said in a press release. “But what does it signify for the future? A lesson can be extracted from the horror of that event.” During World War II, Stern served in a unit of special military intelligence composed mainly of native Germanspeaking immigrants. Part of his job was to interrogate German prisoners of war and defectors, winning him the Bronze Star Medal. Stern was a professor for many years before going into
retirement from Wayne State University in 2003. Johnson said this is not what most people would consider retirement. Stern is speaking as part of the Dr. Harold Abel Endowed Lecture Series in the study of dictatorship, democracy and genocide. The series was established in 2009. Stern has published several books and compilations on German literature history and received many awards. university@cm-life.com

Mississippi’s ‘personhood’ amendment a tragic proposition Mississippi’s vote on “personhood” reveals a lot about the entire abortion debate and offers a good chance to examine the logic of some of the people who call themselves “pro-life.” These are the people who care so much about the baby when it’s in the womb, but care nothing about it once it’s out. Most women who would want to abort are teens coming from poor households, or they’re women not ready and who wouldn’t be able to support their children without the help of the government. The “pro-life” conservatives who push for the rights of a ball of flesh without a fully developed nervous system come off as pretty hypocritical. These are the same people pushing for cuts to welfare, Medicaid and other benefits for the worse off — the benefits these babies would need to survive. Making wild connections is bad, but it doesn’t seem so wild after considering the above statement to say these are the people who would force these mothers to birth children they can’t support on their own and then cut off funding. Thanks, Uncle Sam. It’s not insensitive. It’s pragmatic. Let’s face it, a woman with plenty of money and resources to support her child is much less likely to abort. There is no epidemic of well-off women aborting fetuses for entertainment. This is not a sport. Maternal instincts are as natural as hunger and thirst. If a woman is breaking those instincts there’s a guaranteed good reason for it, like their health, an inability to support the child in cases of poverty or an inability to love it in cases of rape or incest. And that’s the thing, there are so many factors complicating a case that it’s stupid for anyone to stick their noses in it. If you’re fighting for your god, then quit crusading and take care of your own kids. Your time spent in front of Planned Parenthood clinics holding signs about how your god hates them would be much better spent advocating for better health education and safer sex practices. Which brings up another point — the possible implications the ‘personhood’ law would have in restricting access to effective contraceptive products. Can Mississippi support the babies born by accident because the “morning after pill” is no longer legal? What about the strain of all these kids who are unsupervised because their parents can’t watch them or don’t care if they grows up uneducated and end up incarcerated? The prisons can’t handle any more of that. It’s a discussion that could go on and on. So what’s the alternative here? Abstinence? People are about as interested in abstinence as they are in starving themselves. It’s time to be mature adults and acknowledge that people will have sex, condoms will break and sometimes drastic measures will have to be taken. And that’s better than bringing a child in the world who’s going to be neglected.

EDITORIAL | Administration hiding behind FOIAs before LCME visit
Veil of Secrecy
All documents sent to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education from Central Michigan University should be public and available to all. In recent weeks, three separate Freedom of Information Act requests from Central Michigan Life, the Faculty Association and Jim McDonald, chairman of the Academic Senate and professor of teacher education and professional development, have been sent to CMU’s general counsel regarding the documents. Many booklets full of information have been sent to the LCME from the College of Medicine for accreditation purposes. It is uncertain whether the information will be released before an LCME accreditation team visits from Sunday to Nov. 16 and whether the entities asking for the information will have to pay fees to receive it. It is despicable and disrespectful to hide the information behind a FOIA from those who fund it: taxpayers and students.
The release of the documents should be a non-issue. Being funded by both parties should mean it automatically appears online or in an area where documents can be viewed, such as the Charles V. Park Library. Furthermore, this is a direct contradiction of University President George Ross’ claims of a move toward a more transparent administration. Academic Senate asked for the documents last week, saying members are concerned because they have heard very little about CMED. For Ross to not immediately turn documents over to A-Senate leaves those questions unanswered before one of the biggest weeks for CMED. A good comparison to this would be President Barack Obama telling the U.S. Senate to not worry about looking at documentation for his health care reform because he has taken care of it. U.S. Senators would not let this happen and neither should A-
Senate. What’s more concerning is these governing bodies had to go through lawyers rather than Ross’ administration, showing the disconnect the administration has with faculty, staff and students. The last big batch of documents released by CMU was Academic Prioritization, which required a cmich.edu username and password to view. That’s hardly transparent. Throughout recent memory, CMU has taken the approach of only releasing specifically relevant documents to the CMU general body and forcing all other documents to be attained through FOIA requests. This is the exact opposite of how a transparent organization should work. Instead of releasing all documents, except those for which it finds a compelling reason to withhold from widespread distribution, CMU does just the opposite. This all the begs the question: What does CMU have to hide?

Stolen innocence Growing up, I loved fall Saturdays. I will always remember the days of putting on my blue Chippewa Hills Rocket football jersey and playing bright and early Saturday morning. Then after the game, I would hang out with friends and watch the Michigan game because it was always on during the day, then playing catch afterward. I love the individual tradition that each team carries in college football. This week, news broke of a different college football memory. It has become sad and littered with scandals and investigations. Penn State and Joe Paterno have caused problems. After 409 wins, 62 years on the Nittany Lions coaching staff, 44 years as head coach, five undefeated seasons, three Big Ten championships and two National Championships, then end appears near for Joe Paterno. And I don’t think anyone would have seen it come to end
Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter like this. I always imagined Paterno dying on the sidelines and his son, Jay Paterno, an assistant coach and quarterbacks coach for PSU, taking his headset and finishing the game, taking over from there-on-out. I never imagined the end would involve a sex-abuse scandal. In 2002, it became apparent to Paterno that his defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused eight boys during a 15-year period and although the old ball coach did what he was legally obligated to do by alerting his superiors, he didn’t alert the authorities nearly enough. Legally he did right with the
university, but morally he did wrong to so many more. So does he deserve to get the criticism he has been taking? You would like to think that put in the same situation you would not just tell your superiors, but also call the police that someone you work with sexually abused children. I’m sure knowing what he knows now, Paterno would inform the police, but it’s too late. I believe the university would be doing Paterno a favor by letting him stay on until the end of the season instead of firing him now. College football has lost so much tradition lately and this scandal is by far the worst story to come out. But that isn’t what is important here. Not football, not legacy, not tradition, not my innocent look on what college football once was. What is important is the lost innocence of the eight boys that have to live with the memories of what was done to them.

Don’t worry, we still trust God Last week, the House of Representatives voted 396-9 in favor of reaffirming “In God We Trust” as our national motto. Phew, that was a close one! And with that, we can all rest easy tonight knowing that our beloved and sacred motto is safe from the godless, anarchist, anti-American forces that have longed to destroy it since it was created by our Founding Fathers. We still trust in God! Rejoice! Hopefully He’ll deal with our economic mess for us, because our congressmen certainly don’t have time for things like job creation. These mottos don’t reaffirm themselves, you know. Sarcasm aside, this is why Congress’ approval rating is at record-low levels, as low as 9 percent in some polls. Congress, especially its Tea Party Republican wing, has devolved to the point where it looks like it’s actually parodying how out of touch and inept it is. At least the resolution passed with bipartisan support. Why would any congressman feel the urge to pass such a resolution? Nobody in Washington has even suggested, as far as I know, that “In God We Trust” should not be our national motto. There’s certainly no major populist movement protesting this all-important phrase we print on our money. Every rational American, regardless of political beliefs, should see this as a huge waste of time that could be better spent doing something about the massive unemployment crisis that’s gripping the nation. So what gives? Why would Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., feel the need to introduce this bill? “Almost a year ago, the president in making a speech across the world said that our national motto was ‘E pluribus unum,’” Forbes said. What a patriot! Meanwhile, President Obama’s American Jobs Act, which could put millions of people back to work according to most nonpartisan economists, was struck down in both the House and the Senate. Some conservative critics say it is too large and there is no time to debate such a large bill. There is time to tell the president what our motto is, though. Republicans are basically saying, “Putting people back to work takes too much time! That time is better spent sending petty and insignificant messages to the president.” Perhaps this shouldn’t be so surprising to me, considering that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has stated publicly on multiple occasions that making Barack Obama a one-term president is “the single most important thing we want to achieve.” There’s no better way to achieve that goal than by ensuring the economy remains in rough shape. All the GOP has to do is to continue playing games and ignoring anything related to job creation. They’re doing a great job so far.

Meet J.D. Ryan GOT THE MOST OUT OF HER DREAM SCHOOL BY STARTING AT MID.
JD graduated from high school with clear goals. She wanted to attend Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) to become a graphic designer. It’s her dream school. “I’ve visited campus a lot and met with students and staff. It already feels like a second home,” says JD. “Plus, people who go to SCAD are really, really good at what they do.” For JD, getting into SCAD is a foregone conclusion— she was accepted for admission there during her senior year of high school. But, instead, she started out at MMCC. “I wanted to start where I would get a lot of oneon-one attention, where I could stand out, and where I could gain confidence that would let me accomplish everything that I’m capable of. I thought that MMCC would help me to get the most out of my education. And, I was right— I’ve loved my time at Mid.” JD will graduate from MMCC in Spring 2012 and attend Savannah College of Art and Design the following fall.

From soldiers
to scholars Non-traditional students, coordinator of learning technology share stories as veterans By Jamie Favazza | Staff Reporter
Duane Kleinhardt, Sandy Lane and Marques Hicks share experiences few people at Central Michigan University have. Kleinhardt, 51, Lane, 40, and Hicks, 27, are three of five veterans who spoke Tuesday night at the Veterans’ Outreach Panel. The event took place in front of an audience of about 15 in the Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair rooms in the Bovee University Center where the panelists discussed the challenges of transitioning to life as a student after service. Kleinhardt is an Eaton Rapids resident and coordinator of learning technology support, who serves in the Michigan National Guard Reserves. Lane, a Harrison junior, is an Army veteran of Operation Desert Storm. Hicks, a Flint junior, is a Marine Corps veteran. “When you come back (from war) and go to college, you have kids who are 17 and 18 who haven’t been anywhere, who haven’t done anything,” Lane said. “I’m older than them and in my experiences, I’m even older. I think, walking around campus, that the student population probably thinks I’m one of the faculty or staff. They don’t see me as a student.” Hicks said he shares similar feelings.
“I think I was certainly different than other students because of my experiences. I think that is probably the biggest difference is that the military is very structured and has someone looking out for everyone.” Duane Kleinhardt, Easton Rapids resident
“When vets get together, no matter how old, young or what branch, there’s still camaraderie because you’ve been somewhere where so few have.” Sandy Lane, Harrison junior

“When I come around campus I feel really old,” Hicks said. “I’m like, ‘When you were born, I was playing Super Mario 2 or 3.’ I feel out of place in that sense.’” Judea Archie-Walker, a Flint senior, is friends with Hicks and came to show her support. “I think it’s a cool thing actually to have the experiences that veterans have that other students don’t,” she said. “Regular students are getting ready for the real world and veterans have already been in the real world. They already have the life experience part. But I didn’t know how hard it is to go from military style to student life.” At 16 years old, Lane joined the army in a delayed entry program to be eligible for money to go to college. “I figured, four easy years, get some college money, get out and get a job,” he said. “Of course when you join, you figure you’re never going to go to war. You practice and you train, but you never
think it’s going to happen.” Lane served seven months and 19 days in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. He lived in the holes he dug, covered up at night with a poncho, rarely showered and lived on MREs (meals ready to eat, the standard army ration). “We were actually out training in the field and somebody had a radio and heard the news that the president was going to intervene in Kuwait,” Lane said. “The next morning the truck showed up and we all went back to our barracks and we were going.” He became a veteran in July of 1993. Hicks joined the Marine Corps in 2006 at 22, and never left the U.S. “I joined because no one thought I could do it,” he said. “It’s notoriously one of the hardest branches to be in. We do more with less every day and because of that, I wanted to prove to myself that I was tough enough.” A VETERANS | 2B
Events planned to honor Veterans Day By Odille Parker and Jamie Favazza Staff Reporters
Central Michigan University will honor veterans in various events throughout the week leading up to Saturday’s Veterans Day Ceremony. Student Veterans of America, a registered student organization, has organized a panel forum, tailgate event and movie screening to recognize and honor CMU’s student, faculty and staff veterans. Director of Veterans’ Resource Center Steve Rellinger said the RSO wanted to turn the one-day celebration into a week-long event. “I think it’s well deserved,” Relliger said. “(Veterans) are no different than anyone else, and we hope to help everyone be more educated on who veterans are and what the day is all about.” Tuesday night, a panel of veterans was held to discuss the issues that come with a transition back to a non-military life, especially for students. SVA will have a tailgate tent from 4 to 7 p.m. before Thursday’s home football game. Free pop and pizza will be available to

Veterans don’t get enough respect Veterans chapter grows in second year There are few people I have more respect for than veterans. I would be hard-pressed to think of someone I’m more grateful to than a veteran. To be honest, I don’t have any military family members. Aside from the fact that for the past decade of my life, my country has been at war, I have no connection to the military. These men and women live and breathe and die for our right to democracy, for our country, for our safety. I doubt many people consider how important those things are — our right to vote, our freedom and our security. It’s not even something I think about, until I’m told to — around an election, or say, on Veterans Day. These people do not get nearly enough love and they’re not honored or thanked a fraction of what they deserve. So for me, despite the fact that I have zero personal connection to the military, Veterans Day is a very impor-
Maria Amante Guest Columnist tant day. The sacrifice military personnel make is one I don’t personally take for granted — these people risk their lives in dangerous places that are often worlds away from their families and homes and lives. They make these sacrifices, with little-to-no expectations in return, and for very little pay. And their families make enormous sacrifices as well, worrying every single day about their loved ones with no assurance of their safety. Those people sacrifice. So Veterans Day is a seriously underrated holiday. Not enough credit is given to military personnel or their families, year-round.
Veterans Day is the one day we have dedicated to sharing our gratitude to these people. I think on a very abstract level, we’re all aware of the concept of war and people sacrificing their lives, but we don’t truly deal with it daily. It’s not something we remember or honor, and as an unfortunate consequence, respect for veterans and current military personnel has become less obvious. So this Friday, take some time to honor our veterans and veterans-to-be. There is no one more deserving of your time. Consider their sacrifices, really consider them, and do something in their honor — send a care package overseas to military personnel, write a letter to a veteran, volunteer at the local VA center or simply thank someone you know that served in our armed forces. They sacrificed so much on your behalf. Just take a single moment to demonstrate how grateful you are. studentlife@cm-life.com

For the men and women who risked their lives to defend our country, returning to school is often a large challenge, but a group at Central Michigan University offers help with the transition. The CMU chapter of Student Veterans of America began in fall of 2010 and is composed of about 15 student veterans. The goal of the registered student organization is to “succeed in higher education, achieve academic goals and gain meaningful employment,” according to the mission statement on the national website. “The chapter is designed by veterans, for veterans,” Aaron Przeworski, Lansing junior and the group’s vice president, said. “The main goal is to get a degree and a job and show potential employers that they were leaders in the military and are still leaders as student veterans and civilians. We do this by setting up events to give back to the CMU com-

CAMPUS
1. “Puss in Boots” $33 million
The f’real machine in the Market in the east campus area gives students one of the tastiest frozen treats on Central Michigan University’s campus at a very reasonable price for the size and taste. Customers have a choice from 11 different flavors such as mocha frozen cappuccino, mango smoothie, and my personal favorite, cookies ‘n cream shakes. Customers also have a choice of thickness, including regular, less thick and more thick. All you have to do is pick a flavor from the freezer, peel off the lid and set it in the cup holder in the middle of the machine before it gets lifted into the machine. The customer gets to enjoy a little cartoon on the screen while their shake is unfrozen. This is my best discovery all week. The f’real machine in the market is the only one in the 48858 zip code.

It doesn’t cost anything to hear an awesome song about being broke. The Drums’ “Money,” an irresistibly upbeat dance tune, first worked its way into my brain via a friend’s Facebook post. Guitar driven and tremendously unserious, it begs for head shaking, shoulder shimmying and foot stomping. It’s Franz Ferdinand or Matt & Kim or something from The Strokes, but with a cleaner sound. If you find yourself stuck in the situation like the one the chorus repeats forever, “I want to buy you something, but I don’t have any money,” then just check out the song for free on Youtube and share it with a friend.

“On the outside, we all look the same and are all students,” Przeworski said. “We’re very different on the inside and it’s a good opportunity for us to get together and talk about things affecting us, from (our) military past to everyday class problems. We understand each other more than the average student.” Any veteran on or off campus is welcome to join the chapter. “As far as membership is concerned, if we have somebody that is just a veteran on campus or off campus that is

anyone who wants to come and learn more about the chapter. Merodie Hancock, vice president of off-campus programs, said the program is the main financial support behind the week. “I’m happy to see Steve is using the week to raise awareness at CMU,” Hancock said. “He is making it more comprehensive and not just one-dimensional.” The Veterans Day Ceremony will be held from 11 to 11:30 a.m. Friday at the Warriner Mall and will be moved to Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium in the event of rain. The ceremony will celebrate and honor all veterans. Capt. Rodney Williams will be the keynote speaker. The week will end on Saturday with the screening of “The Welcome” at 7 p.m. at Broadway Theatre, 216 E. Broadway St. Tickets are $5 and the proceeds will go to CMU’s SVA chapter. “It’s a documentary about healing and acceptance,” Rellinger said. “It shows how we as a community or nation can help welcome veterans to the community as they return.” Edwardsburg sophomore Valerie Garcia plans to attend the screening of “The Welcome,” and as a daughter of two veterans, she said she appreciates the week’s events. “I think it’s an honor to (my parents) and all others that served,” Garcia said. “The day is where everyone can say thanks
interested in coming to our meetings, they’re more than welcome,” Borton said. “Meetings are held twice a month in the Bovee (University Center).” Rellinger said he sees the chapter as an opportunity for veterans, their families and the Mount Pleasant community to come together to support each other. “We’ve been at war for the past 10 years,” Rellinger said. “What veterans and their families go through during that time is unlike anything else. The least we can do is reach out and put our figurative arms around them when they return home.” studentlife@cm-life.com
back because the soldiers that served and/or died are the reason why we have freedom.” According to the Veterans’ Resource Center website, the center is located at Warriner Hall room 114B and serves CMU students who are veterans, active military, including National Guard and Reserve, and spouses and/or dependents of active military. Rellinger said CMU’s Mount Pleasant campus has more than 200 veterans. The Veterans’ Resource Center services 11 centers in Michigan, 60 centers across the U.S. and helps more than 750 veterans. The center helps veterans get certified for their veterans’ benefits, which include education benefits. studentlife@cm-life.com

Hicks spent his time serving in North Carolina, where he worked as a mechanic on aircraft and helicopters until he was injured. In 2007, he became unable to work because of rare bacteria that depleted the cartilage in his wrist. “They put a titanium plate in my wrist,” he said. “I’ve got seven screws and bolts. I lost the majority of my grip strength, lost all mobility and flexibility in my wrist. Basically, I can’t be a Marine because of this.” In 2010, Lane retired. Kleinhardt still serves as a member of the Michigan National Guard Reserves, but he first entered the Navy in 1978. After leaving the Navy he attended Michigan State University. “It was very strange to be living in the dorm,” he said. “I was 22, so I was living in the dorm much older than most of the other students.” Kleinhardt said his experience as a veteran college student was unlike those who did not serve. “I think I was certainly different than other students because of my experiences,” he said. “I think that probably the biggest difference is that the military is very structured and has someone looking out for everyone.” Kleinhardt, Lane and Hicks all have their military experience in common, which
is something they agreed unites all military personnel. “When vets get together, no matter how old, young or what branch, there’s still camaraderie because you’ve been somewhere where so few have,” Lane said. Kleinhardt said he tries to talk to veterans when he sees them on campus, and has befriended a student who works at the help desk. “I try to network with veterans when I see them, but it’s kind of hard because they don’t all walk around with shirts saying ‘I’m a veteran,’” he said. “You pick up little indicators like a haircut or an Army Combat Uniform.” The Veterans’ Resource Center provides help for students transitioning from service to school. “The transition for me was kind of weird,” Hicks said. “Coming back, you feel more alone than ever. I didn’t realize how much I loved that camaraderie.” Lane said he would like to have a bigger space where veterans can gather. “Campus life is one where you have to figure out all the things that no one ever told you,” Lane said. “That’s one of the things we want to help veterans with when they come here. Civilian life isn’t easy.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Delta Sigma Theta hosts breast cancer awareness night By Megan Rolph Staff Reporter
Hair does not have to be natural to need styling. Monday marked the first day of a health awareness week hosted by Delta Sigma Theta. The sorority hosted a breast cancer awareness program, Fight the Fight for a Cure, Monday night in the Bovee University Center’s Maroon Room. The evening consisted of two main parts. It began when the Director of Midland Cancer Services, Susan Dusseau, spoke to those in attendance about breast cancer prevention, signs, symptoms and causes. During the second half the evening, Sorority members cut and styled donated wigs. The wigs were then donated to Midland Cancer Services. “Our Fight the Fight for a Cure Breast cancer awareness night is an important event because it is an educational and innovative way to actively engage students and make them aware about breast cancer and its various aspects,” said Flint senior Shambreia McBrayer, vice president of Delta Sigma Theta sorority. “We desire to educate students but also engage them in a program that targets both areas.” Delta Sigma Theta is a private, nonprofit organization with the purpose of providing assistance and support through established programs in local communities through-

out the world. Since 1948, MCS has provided prevention, education and non-medical support services to cancer patients and the community. “Very few people have not been touched, in some way, by this disease,” Dusseau said. “It seems nearly everyone knows someone who has had to fight this fight.” This year more than 182,000 are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The chance of a woman having breast cancer in her lifetime is one in eight. “Putting on an event that creates awareness about breast cancer is something that I hold close to my heart,” said President of Delta Sigma
Theta and Flint senior Quentrese Cole. “The event itself may not be making a difference on an international level, but the difference it makes on the community has potential to change lives everywhere. People share what they learn and it saves lives.” Dusseau said helping women feel confident and beautiful during treatment is an important part of what MCS offers. “At Midland Cancer Services, one service we offer, besides counseling and fiscal aid, is wigs, scarves, turbans and hats for those victims who have lost their hair,” she said.

Atlas Sound’s ‘Parallax’ finds pop pace, textural richness Bradford Cox, aka Atlas Sound, is back with his third full-length album “Parallax,” and it is arguably his most cohesive and complete release. Atlas Sound is Cox’s solo lo-fi, noise-rock project that occupies the time he is not spending as front man of Deerhunter. “Parallax” is the Atlantabased artists follow up to “Bedroom Databank.” Parallel to the title, the album sounds like happy-go-lucky driving tunes that feel woozy on second listen. It’s an album that requires headphones to catch all of the panning and stereo separation elements that really help make the music more intelligent and texturally rich. “The Shakes” and ”Amplifiers” are both short songs featured first on the album and feel more like they are supposed to both be introductory songs. Like much of “Parallax,” the two tunes pump up the calm grooves, beach-like vibe and electronic manipulation. The guitar is soft and plays wellthought-out riffs. Cox’s voice isn’t as experimental as usual, which is a good thing. It’s as soft as ever and remains calm and interesting without overwhelming anything. His vocals are laced with reverb, which gives off a certain classicrock element while remaining honest. “Parallax” is not just the album title; it’s a song of utterly sexy, breathy words
as a “nonpartisan grassroots group of individuals.” According to its website, its long-term vision is for “a prosperous thriving America with limited government at the federal, state and local levels, limited or no debt, balanced budgets based on legal authority and responsibilities of government, and the fewest possible controls over American citizens and their economic enterprise.” Their goals for the next year include voting against Stabenow and President Barack Obama and electing conservatives to all levels of government, passing right-to-work legislation, striking collective bargaining rights for all state employees, and abolishing subsidies for green technology.

Tea Party group Mid Michigan Patriots is hosting Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Randy Hekman at itsmonthly meeting on Thursday. Hekman will address the group’s members at the Isabella County Commission on Aging, 2200 S. Lincoln Road. A Navy veteran and former judge, Hekman needs to garner as much support as he can from conservative activists to overcome GOP frontrunner Pete Hoekstra for the chance to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow in the general election. Hekman will be the latest Republican Senate candidate to visit the Mid Michigan Patriots. The group will host Hoekstra its next meeting Nov. 28. “This is an opportunity for Randy to speak to a group of
people outside of Grand Rapids in his own backyard,” said Hekman’s Deputy Campaign Manager Ryan King. According to his campaign website, Hekman favors conservative measures to fix the economy, such as deregulation and lowering corporate taxes by 10 percent. He also favors a balanced budget amendment to help solve the nation’s debt problem and an end to the Federal Reserve system and the Environmental Protection Agency. Hekman is in support of raising the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare and cutting back on entitlement programs. “He’d like to see a return to a format where the government is largely not involved in welfare just because we can’t afford it, for one thing,” King said. “Welfare is much better handled by state and local officials.” Mid Michigan Patriots describes itself on its website
and straight up baby-making music. It’s great. Besides the intro songs, “Terra Incognita” and “Flagstaff” sound like they should be paired up for about 13 minutes of wavy, elongated samples. The latter is more experimental than the former, but both, like all other songs on the album show an incredible cohesiveness and Cox’s growth as an artist in Atlas Sound. Other songs on the album also have interesting takes on vocal layering, and layers are often slightly delayed from one another, giving a dreamlike feel. This music mixes so many sounds and elements into stereo-separated bits,

LOS ANGELES You don’t have to be a math major to understand this statistic: The average student-loan debt of last year’s college graduates topped $25,000 _ the first time it’s exceeded that ignominious mark. Seniors who graduated in 2010 had an average student-loan burden of $25,250, up 5.2 percent from the $24,000 owed by the class of 2009, according to a report by the Project on Student Debt at the Institute for College Access & Success in Oakland. Some experts had expected a bigger increase in debt given the gloomy economy, but increased financial aid at some schools partially offset the hit for low-income
students and those at pricier colleges. Still, the increased debt load is another challenge for college graduates who already were facing a punishing job market. The unemployment rate for college graduates age 20 to 24 rose to 9.1 percent last year, up from 8.7 percent in 2009 and the highest annual rate on record, according to the nonprofit research organization. The report is based on data reported voluntarily by more than 1,000 public and private nonprofit four-year colleges. It did not include so-called for-profit colleges. In California, the average debt load last year was $18,113, with 48 percent of graduating seniors owing money, according to the study.

there’s no way the lyrics “have my legs become too heavy/or have I become too weak” won’t stick with you after hearing them delivered the way frontman Richard Nuttall does. “Finger Painted Notes” is far from the only song with that kind of emotional delivery on this album. From the passionate cry out that is “The Sound That Love Makes” to the crushing album closer “Lessons,” Lifestory: Monologue never lets off the pedal in terms of emotional drive. One of the absolute best things “Drag Your White Fur – Make It Grey” has going for it is coldness. The album just feels dark, bleak and cold as if you are trapped in a musical snowstorm at night. There’s something about “Make It Grey” that makes it sound colder than a regular emotional instrumental interlude. It’s something you can’t have explained to you, but you have to experience yourself. This cold feeling is experienced throughout the whole album; from start to finish, a lot of the music has just enough echo
‘DRAG YOUR WHITE FUR-Make it Grey’
HHHHH w Artist: Lifestory: Monologue w Genre: Post-Hardcore/ Post- Rock
and distance to give off a frigid emotional texture. To quote the band from “The Sound That Loves Makes,” “I’m lacking love and lacking warmth.” As stated before, all the waiting is well worth it; “Drag Your White Fur – Make It Grey” is an utterly phenomenal album. The amount of brilliance in the songwriting and passionate execution easily makes it one of the best releases of the year. If you are a fan of bands like Ports Of Aidia or Wolves and Machines and haven’t become a fan of Lifestory: Monologue yet, then now is the best time to hop aboard as “Drag Your White Fur – Make It Grey” will not disappoint. studentlife@cm-life.com
