Facilities Management to spend $645,000 on winter renovations By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Facilities Management will spend $645,000 in construction on campus over winter break, almost all of which are scheduled to be completed when classes resume on Jan. 12. Three classrooms in Moore Hall will be receiving an upgrade, consisting of a new meeting room, modifications to the elevator system and three new offices on the fourth floor. Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of Facilities Management, said the project is scheduled for completion Feb. 27. Other additions include installing a door in Moore 427 and a window in Moore 442, which should be done by

Jan. 5. The total cost for Moore Hall’s renovations alone will be approximately $201,360. The first five floors of Celani and Fabiano Halls will be receiving fresh carpet, as will the call centers of Foust Hall and the Alumni House. The installation of new carpet in all four areas will be finished by Jan. 9. The total cost of these installations is $150,000. Facilities Management will also continue work on the “two ongoing projects, CMED Phase 1 and the Biosciences Building,” Lawrence said. Crews will continue pouring concrete for the 169,000 square-foot Biosciences Building through the remainder of the year. Depending on

Stressed?

weather conditions for which winterization measures have been taken, the project will remain on schedule and is expected to be complete in fall of 2016, at the cost of $95 million. Construction of the College of Medicine’s Saginaw building will continue, with crews “focusing on painting and flooring” at Covenant HealthCare for the month of break, Lawrence said. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in May 2015 and will cost an estimated $25 million. The Staples Recital Hall and the Percussion Studio in the Bovee University Center will be upgraded for better acoustics, costing $274,000. Also new in the Bovee University

Center, storage in 104J and 200J will be receive $20,000 in upgrades. The second floor of Wightman Hall will feature a merchandising lab in Room 226 for apparel merchandising and design students to be completed by the end of summer 2015. Asbestos was found underneath floor tiles in the room. However building manager and chair of the department of Human Environmental Studies Megan Goodwin said air quality meets standard expectations. The construction will cost $360,000. “It will be a place where they can design and do similar merchandising types of activities they will experience in the workforce,” Goodwin said.

Robert Cook remembered for long career of shaping students By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

After inspiring students for 35 years and making Central Michigan University’s logistic program one of the best in the nation, Robert Cook lost his battle to brain cancer in November. He was 67-years-old. Cook earned his undergraduate, graduate and doctorate degrees from Michigan State University. In between degrees he served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged as a sergeant. Cook began teaching at CMU in 1979, six years after marrying his wife Karen Kay. Cook was said to be much more than just a professor to students in his marketing and logistics management courses, winning the university-wide Teaching Excellence Award twice in his career. Cook advised CMU’s Logistics Management Council. Karen assisted in advising. Cook helped students like alumnus Ashton Shaw find his future in logistics management and much more. Shaw now works in customer innovation for Menlo Logistics. “I met with him based off of a recommendation from one of the counselors in the school of business, but I never expected him to impact my life as much as he did,” Shaw said. “Right away I could tell Dr. Cook was a straight shooting guy, very outspoken and direct. He was the first person who led me to how material moves in our society and the need for people to help move that system along.” Building up CMU’s logistics program to one of the best in the nation was one of Cook’s greatest accomplishments during his career. Alumnus Nick Zeeman said Cook’s approach inside and outside of the classroom is what helped build the success of the program. “Dr. Cook had a huge impact on the program and everyone that went through it,” Zeeman said. “He was always there to give guidance, one of the most passionate professors I’ve ever had. Every class would keep you engaged, it was the way he taught and what he taught about that kept us interested. You could hear it in his voice, all that passion he had towards helping us and the program.” Cook was said to understand teamwork better than most professors. The idea of working in close knit teams was carried through his teaching and progressive curriculum. “The same set of students were in the core classes Doc taught,” Shaw said. “You’re constantly interacting with the same group of people, and that group of people would continue to meet up throughout the years. The class was competitive but with a team based environment. He would give us real world problems, the teams

“He went over and beyond what I expected to help make sure I was able to learn and retain what he was teaching me” Nick Zeeman, CMU alumnus would compete it out and the highest score would set the weight limit (for the class).” Students said Cook understood the importance of real world experience as a learning tool. Zeeman said Cook provided a rare and unique opportunity for students that isn’t always handed off by professors. “He gave me a real life experience,” Zeeman said. “I was a frequent visitor when he held office hours. It was the mentoring and experience he shared that kept me coming back. The projects we did in LMC, I still draw back on. I’m seven or six years removed (from CMU) and everything I learned is still applicable today.” The influence of Cook’s knowledge and connections went beyond the campus. Shaw said Cook went past expectations of a professor by keeping up with students even after students graduated, and interacting with students past the traditional classroom setting. Some of Shaw’s memories were made with his classmates while hanging out with Cook and Karen off campus. “(Cook’s students) went to Homecoming so they could go to Doc and Karen,¨ he said. ¨One time he came to The Cabin and watched my band play. Karen and he were like a second family to me.” Cook advised the LMC Honor Society and influ-

enced thousands of students through it. The program held its 30th anniversary last month, where 150 students travelled to CMU to celebrate with Cook. “Doc always did what was best for his students, both of them committed their lives to it. He was always all in, down to the last weeks,” Shaw said. “We all met up a couple of weeks ago as a goodbye party. There were former LMC presidents dating back 25 years there to see him again. Doc and Karen never gave up the vision, they knew what it took.” One of the biggest influences on students in regards to teamwork was shown through Cook and Karen’s ability to work so well together. Students remember Karen as Cook’s partner through it all. Zeeman and Shaw credit her for making the program successful just as much as they credit Cook. “Karen was there everyday by his side helping him out,” Zeeman said. “The last time I saw him was our anniversary a month ago. The thing he asked was did Karen get enough of the credit she deserved. Karen and him, the partnership they had with one another, was beyond a team. He would run around like a mad man, and she’d be there to keep him in line. The greatest team you could ever dream of.” Cook’s goals as a professor went past preparing his

students for the real world. Zeeman credits Cook for his career, but also for life lessons he couldn’t have gotten from anyone else. “He went over and beyond what I expected to help make sure I was able to learn and retain what he was teaching me then,” Zeeman said. “That (LMC) really got me my first job outside of college. He helped me when I was struggling to get a job by making phone calls and constantly introducing me to people who could help me out. Mentoring and knowledge helped me enter my first job well prepared. To this day, I started several feet ahead, it’s one of those things

Secrets of the stars

Observatory provides astronomy students with a look into space By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

Gazing into the black expanse of the night sky, Brooks Hall’s astronomical observatory exposes students to the stars and celestial bodies millions of lightyears away that make up the universe. The observatory has been located on the roof of the building since 1964. It is operated by the physics department and was named after former astronomy professor Kendall P. Brooks. Brooks Observatory is mainly used for visual observations by students in the astronomy department and is open to the general public. Students commonly use the facility to study the lunar cycle and cosmic events. When it was first created, it housed a 20-inch reflector used for public viewing and visual star work. The reflector was replaced two more times before the current telescope, the “classic” Cassegrain was inserted. The equipment allows for direct imaging, multiple light filters and visual observing. The observatory houses two sections: the research and reference section and the observing area. The research and reference section contains computers, a dark room and thousands of volumes of observatory publications. The observing area includes a dome 5-meters in diameter that houses the telescope. The observatory holds open houses throughout the year, to allow students and the community to experience a close up-look at the stars. Open hours take place from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Dates for next semester have yet to be announced. For more informtion, go to the College of Science and Technology at Cmich.edu

White House addresses violence against Native Americans By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Vice President Joe Biden addressed domestic violence on Wednesday at this year’s White House Tribal Nations Conference, where all 566 federally recognized tribes were invited to have a representative. According to the United States Department of Justice, one out every three Native American women reports being raped in her lifetime, while the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one in five women report being raped in American as a whole. “It’s just been passed on and almost normalized,” said Brooke Huber, a sexual response team lead at Nami Migizi Nangwiihgan Domestic Violence, Domestic Assault and Stalking Services on the Isabella Indian Reservation. “It’s seen as more acceptable to abuse Native American women, which is of course not true.” Huber said the intensified abuse culture surrounding Native American women began when children were systematically taken from their

Creating a Master of Public Health degree is on Tuesday’s Board of Trustees meeting agenda. The MPH is designed to train public health care workers to address new and emerging health issues, particularly in rural and medically underserved areas. If approved by the trustees, Central Michigan University will become the third university in the state to offer the degree, joining the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Trustees will also consider authorizing contracting for the planning, design and construction of an $8 million outdoor lacrosse, soccer and student recreation facility. The addition of women’s lacrosse and golf was approved in December 2012. Plans call for construction of a synthetic turf field to be used by the lacrosse and soccer teams as well as CMU’s recreation club teams. An adjacent building will house locker rooms, restrooms, concessions, coaching offices and a training room. A request for a $5.7 million budget for deferred maintenance projects for 201516 will be considered. Deferred maintenance funds will be used for repair and upkeep of campus buildings and roads, roof replacement, exterior lighting and other projects. Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of Facilities Management, will update trustees on construction of a Courtyard by Marriot hotel on CMU property adjacent to Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The hotel will bring in $170,000 in annual rent to CMU for the first 30 years of the lease and $200,000 per year after that. The developer is scheduled to begin site preparation and construction on Dec. 12. The facility is planned to be completed in March 2016. A review of President Ross’ compensation and election of board officers for 2015 is also on the agenda. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. in President’s Conference Room of the Bovee University Center. It is open to the public. In addition to the formal session on Tuesday, committee meetings will be open to the university community and the general public on Dec. 8, in the President’s Conference Room of the Bovee University Center. Academic and Student Affairs will meet from 3-3:50 p.m., Finance and Facilities will meet from 4-4:50 p.m., Trustees-Faculty Liaison will meet from 5-6 p.m. and Trustees-Student Liaison will finish the day from 6-7 p.m.

“We see a lot of trends, but for the most part it’s pretty steady except for after the holidays. We see a huge jump in numbers in early January.” Nami Migizi Nangwiihgan, Support Group Helper tribes and entered into boarding schools across the country. The idea that Native Americans are “the lesser” was solidified with that act and has continued ever since, she said. Until the Tribal Law and Order Act was signed in 2010, tribal law enforcement had more difficulties addressing cases of domestic and sexual assault if they were committed by non-tribal people. The act broadens the jurisdiction of tribal law enforcement with prevention of domestic and sexual violence in mind. The sixth annual conference is designed to give Native American tribal representatives the chance to interact more closely with the federal government, they discussed this and other areas of concern such as education reform, natural

and cultural resources, economic development and the preservation of treaties and trust. Frank Cloutier, public relations director for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, said the inability to reprimand non-native persecutors allowed violence against women in Native American tribes to soar. “Violence against Native American women became very prevalent,” Cloutier said. “The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe has taken a lead in the effort to change that reality. There’s some very, very good work that’s been done though our lobbyists and through our tribal council.” Nami Migizi Nangwiihgan is part of that effort to change and provides counseling services, case management and support groups for those

targeted by domestic abuse, sexual assault or stalking. Huber said that while the community’s use of the services remains constant, certain times of year, like holidays, can cause a “tension building cycle” which results in higher numbers of women utilizing the services. “We see a lot of trends, but for the most part it’s pretty steady except for after the holidays,” she said. “We see a huge jump in numbers in early January.” Huber said that even with programs like Nami Migizi Nangwiihgan and updated law enforcement, the issue of sexual violence against Native Americans is not resolving. “It needs to be in the forefront in people’s minds,” she said. “It’s going to take everyone to address it before changes are going to be made.” Cloutier said the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe did not send a direct representative to this year’s conference due to a priority issue but will be represented by a consulting firm in the conference meetings. Cloutier said the Tribe has sent representatives to the conference in the past.

CHP Dean announces resignation Christopher D. Ingersoll, dean of The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions at Central Michigan University, announced his resignation effective Jan. 5, 2015, to become dean of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Toledo. Ingersoll’s research focuses on neurophysiological and neuromechanical consequences of injury, particularly relating to muscle activation, and the neurophysiological mechanisms of rehabilitation interventions. Ingersoll joined CMU in the fall of 2009. He earned his doctorate in biomechanical research from the University of Toledo in 1989, a master’s degree in physical education and athletic training from Indiana State University in 1987 and a bachelor’s degree in sports medicine from Marietta College in Ohio in 1985. An interim dean should be appointed before the holiday break, according to Provost Michael Gealt. By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

VOICES ‘Pro-life’ is a lie The Supreme Court is set to issue its decision on pregnant women in the workplace in the coming days. As a pro-choice activist, I look forward to the day when women’s pregnancies can be accommodated. According to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that studies reproductive rights issues, 74 percent of women have abortions because they cannot afford a pregnancy or child. Perhaps if employers

Brynn McDonnell Columnist

were required to accommodate for pregnant women, there would be a decrease in abortion rates. It seems like something everyone from all sides of the abortion-opinion spectrum could jump onboard with. That is until I studied some of the pro-life groups and their comments about the case. The first thing I noticed was silence. I studied a number of pro-life

groups in particular: Live Action, Students for Life America, National Right to Life and New Wave Feminists. The only groups to openly suport the protection of pregnant workers were New Wave Feminism and Students for Life America. Even so, many supporters of these organizations believe employers do not have a duty to protect the rights of pregnant women. One person writes, “I think that a company should be able to fire someone for any reason they deem necessary—including pregnancy. Pregnancy can hinder some jobs. But it may not be a smart idea politically. I am very pro-life.”

How is firing a pregnant woman pro-life? How is this helping the cause of preventing abortions? I also looked to Students for Life at Central Michigan University and their social media outlets and what did I find? Silence. Yet for groups like the National Abortion Rights Action League, Planned Parenthood, the National Women’s Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union, all pro-choice groups that support the right to abortion are actively engaged in the Supreme Court case supporting a women’s right to work while pregnant. Pro-life groups say they care

a

happy

about women, that they want to see abortion be “abolished.” But when there is a chance, a glimmer of light to help eliminate the reason most women have abortions, they are silent. This silence is more powerful than any noise of support. This silence shows that the pro-life movement does not care about women and their dreams and destinies. This silence shows that the pro-life movement does not care about babies like it professes it does. If the pro-ife movement is “courageously abolishing abortion” like it claims to, start by supporting pregnant women and their rights.

As we just hosted a re-accreditation site team visit in early October, the number of our majors was still fresh in my mind.

Game Design and Development Club creates electronic entertainment

life in brief sciences

Professor creates tornado modeling simulator As Leigh Orf watches the thunderstorm change into a funnel of wind, he is astounded at what was just created. By using a modeling program on a computer, the chairperson of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences was able to create the first thunderstorm production of the largest tornado. To create this tornado, Orf simply began by growing a cloud in the computer. The modeling program uses the laws of physics to create a simulated thunderstorm. “The thing about these kinds of models is you don’t know what’s going to happen when you run the model, just like we can’t predict if a thunderstorm is going to create a tornado,” Orf said. “We use a program on the computer, kind of like an application on an iPhone, but a super complex one and one that runs on supercomputers.” In Orf’s simulation, he used a model to produce a supercell thunderstorm to create the strongest kind of tornado. This time of simulation is unique because it’s the first time that a thunderstorm that produces a tornado has ever been simulated. “The process of using a model to simulate clouds has been going on since the ‘60s,” he said. “Over time computer technology has gotten better, the models themselves have gotten more and more accurate and what I’ve done is taken it to the next level.” Currently, Orf has received positive reactions and is looking to publish his work. He is applying for grants to focus on the simulation. He is also planning on continuing his work and creating more simulations. “I want to try to answer questions, like can we predict this type of storm ahead of time,” Orf said. “Right now we don’t do that very well.”

From the Nintendo Entertainment System to the new XBox One, people have enjoyed the creative, competitive atmosphere of video games. Students who join the Game Design and Development Club can design their own electronic entertainment. The student organization gives members the knowledge and tools they need to create their own video games. Members also get to play and talk about games, learn more about software, hold tournaments and donate to a greater cause. “I think because when you experience your favorite video game for the first time, it’s something so otherworldly and so new,” Molly Rossman, a Midland sophomore said. “It’s like your own world, your own universe, and I want other people to experience that, too.” Passion for game design is what led club President Rossman and Tony Morelli to start the registered student organization (RSO). Members were given free access to a game-creating software called Unity. Morelli, a computer science assistant professor, showed them how to use it. “(What) I really want to stress

On this day in history, Dec. 5, 1994, Central Michigan Life reported on protests taking place on campus concerning the privatization of CMU Dining Services. More than 75 people picketed in front of Bovee University Center within two hours of the Board of Trustees decision to support privatizing of dining services. Protesters expressed concern that privatizing the operation would cause the university to lose money and passed out pamphlets at the protest urging people to ask the Board of Trustees questions about the move. A sheet was also distributed to students explaining how the move would affect them. Signatures were added and collected to a petition that already featured more than 1,300 names of people who opposed the privatization, and that petition was presented to the board. Members of the board expressed their support for the move, saying it would save the university money and offer a better quality of service.

Central Michigan University’s Game Development and Design Club will be presenting the first annual Extravagameza event Saturday in the Powers Ballroom from noon to 6 p.m. The event will feature an indie game development competition, where video games designed and submitted by CMU students will be seen for the first time by guests. Prior to the event, the group’s adviser, Professor Anthony Morelli, will select 10 games to be presented. A Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament will also take place in the afternoon. For $5, anyone can sign up and compete with other students for one of three gift card prizes that will be given out to the winners. Students can register for the competition at CMUGDDC@ gmail.com. This philanthropy event isn’t exclusive to gamers and designers. Artists, authors, visual technicians, photographers and anyone who has a skill they would like to demonstrate for a cause is welcome to attend. The GDDC encourages everyone to get involved, creativity can be celebrated across art mediums. There is a mandatory $1 fee for entering and spectating Extravagameza. All proceeds will go to the United Way of Isabella County. All artists are exempt from the fee. By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

For Nicholas Poli, the give and take of information between peers is something he really appreciates, and that interaction between group members is his favorite part.

about Game Dev is that anybody can participate in it,” Morelli said. “And a lot of people are intimidated by it, like ‘oh I can’t do that, it’s programming, computers, science—I don’t understand.’ But games require people from all kinds of different disciplines.” For example, writing stories, drawing and programming are only some of the skills needed to create and develop games. Students who possess even one talent can still create their own game by teaming up with one another. This club wants to do more than just create and talk about video games with each other. That’s why they will be hosting a Smash Bros. tournament, art exposition and Indie Game Competition—all at the same time—at noon on Dec. 6 in the Powers ballroom. The proceeds from what they are calling an “ExtravaGameza” will be donated to United Way, a non-profit that helps people in Isabella County. “We have enough of a draw now, I think there is enough interest, that we could actually do some kind of bigger purpose,” Morelli said. “We thought Christmas was a good time to give back to the community.” Spectator entry for the ExtravaGameza is $1, and registration to

Office of Institutional Diversity reaches out to first generation students Jared Kellum Staff Reporter

Students and faculty came together Thursday for the Soup and Substance: First Generation to Graduation luncheon. The event held in the Bovee University Center Terrace was the final Soup and Substance luncheon before the end of the semester. Pathways to Academic Student Success, a program under the Office of Institutional Diversity, gave a presentation about their program and the ways in which they are reaching out to first generation, low income students. The program targets first generation Central Michigan University students with the goal of helping them achieve increased grade point averages, which will in turn increase graduation rates. The Pathways program offers first generation students advising and mentoring tools, as well as workshops and seminars designed to aid in the transition to life as a university student. The Soup and Substance presentation was led by program director Mary Henley. She said many first generation students have trouble learning Monica Bradburn Staff Photographer how to be successful students in a Students discuss what it is like to be first generation college students as part of a panel at the Soup and Substance event Thursday in the UC Terrace Room. university setting, and they can be Pathways is working hard to make unaware of the various recourses at those in attendance. acted with have been a great help,” The group also discussed ways CMU a place where first generation their disposal.

On Thursday, all 10 groups presented their marketing strategy for Crawford’s business. Eventually, they were narrowed down to the top four groups. The top groups met once again for a round of question and qnswers from the Audio Corner team before they deliberated and chose a winner. During the reception Thursday night, seniors making up team LuxeTech, Michael Boundy, Morgan Hite, Nicole Mueting and Kaitlin Deschaine, won the competition earning them each a $1,000 scholarship. Crawford and the Audio Corner team will pull ideas from many of the groups to continue to build and grow their company.

Students in Dr. Rebecca Dingus’s marketing communications class have been working all semester on a final project that would earn them a $1,000 scholarship and an experience at Central Michigan University unlike any other. Audio Corner’s owner David Crawford has been meeting with the students throughout the semester and traveled to CMU to introduce the project to the class during the second week of school. Then, he returned mid-semester to meet with each team individually for a half-hour before flying seven students on his corporate jet to visit the Audio Corner showroom.​

Catching up with

the Coaches Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

M

en’s basketball coach Keno Davis and women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara share at least one thing ­– a deep passion for Central Michigan University basketball. Central Michigan Life posed the same questions to Davis and Guevara, whose offices sit right across from one another in the Rose Center. What do you enjoy about coaching basketball specifically? Guevara: There are lot of different ways to play the game. I’m an old dog learning new tricks all the time. I’m constantly learning from other coaches, not just basketball coaches but coaches in general. Davis: The number of players that you have. One player or two players can make a huge difference as you move a program forward. It makes basketball really unique. What are some characteristics of an elite basketball player? Guevara: High IQ. Those are the kids that really watch the game. They see a move that someone else has done and try to emulate it. They get into the gym on their own. They tend

to be pretty goal-oriented people. Davis: The great ones have the desire to compete and to win. We are looking for that guy that when he loses, it really bothers him. That’s a characteristic that carries over from sports into life. What is more exciting for you as a coach: a high flying guard or a dominating and physical six-foot forward? Guevera: I love to see a smart point guard. Someone that understands time and score. Someone that can take command of the floor. I think that’s a reflection of the coach, more than anything else. Davis: I just like a player with what we call a high motor. That’s No. 1. I like the guys that are versatile and can really spread the defense. That’s the way basketball is evolving the spread game. Every player we get here has

a focus and an idea. I tell them you have to spread the court and defend to be successful. What is the thing that frustrates a basketball coach more than anything else? Guevara: Giving up an offensive rebound on a free throw. You have the inside position. It drives me out of my mind. Someone just beat you to the ball. Two turnovers in a row make me nuts, too. Davis: What frustrates me is the same thing that would frustrate fans. When you look out there and you see someone playing, and you can tell they don’t want it as much as you do as a fan or a coach. I can live with mental mistakes and bad luck and a lot of things. If you see players really making an effort though, that’s where you know better things are on the horizon. What is the most rewarding part of your job? Guevara: A player like Kerby Tamm is the reason I coach. To watch the maturing of someone like Kerby and see the lessons my players learn both on and off the court. I love that. Davis: The most rewarding thing for me

as a coach is to try to have a positive influence on the lives of the student athletes that I get to interact with on a daily basis. I’m very fortunate to not only have a position to be able to do that at Central Michigan, but I’ve got an incredible group of student athletes that I wouldn’t trade for the world. What is McGuirk Arena like when it is at its loudest possible volume? Guevara: That’s more for our players than it is for me. It makes a huge difference when teams are at the free-throw line. Educating the student body about women’s basketball is important. Davis: We’ve got a ways to go. Because of the lack of success here in the past, we are not at a position with our fan base where we need to be. We know when we win that people will show up and it will be a great atmosphere. The more we win, it will speed up that progress. What is your relationship like with the other varsity basketball coach at CMU? Guevara: I love our men’s staff. We bounce things off of each other. We are a basketball family, and we are going to support each other that way. Davis: Our relationship is probably as close as any other men’s and women’s combo in the country. They are really good people and obviously really good coaches. As coaches you are always learning. The recruiting trips and fundraising and marketing, we collaborate on all of these things. Coach G and her staff are a great resource to have.

The Chippewas won the 2006 Motor City Bowl against Middle Tennessee State. LeFevour won his first college bowl game as a freshman.

LeFevour grabs his second consecutive victory over Western Michigan University on a last-minute touchdown drive.

LeFevour became the second player in Division I FBS history to pass for over 3,000 yards and rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season. CMU claimed back-to-back MAC titles with a win over Ohio University.

June 4, 2012

LeFevour leads the Chippewas to a 3110 victory over Ohio University in the MidAmerican Conference Championship game at Ford Field.

Dan LeFevour plays his first game at CMU against Boston College. The Chippewas lost 31-24.

Claiming a key nonconference win against the Hoosiers, LeFevour and the Chippewas took down Indiana University in Bloomington, 37-34.

LeFevour is handed one of the most crushing losses during his time at CMU, and the Chippewas lose to Florida Atlantic in the Motor City Bowl that year.

LeFevour passed Byron Leftwich to take over as the all-time MAC leader in total offense in a career. The Chippewas defeated bitter rival Michigan State 29-27 in East Lansing.

LeFevour was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round (181st overall).

Buerkel said LeFevour’s ability to relate with others made him a great choice to give advice to the class. “Dan has a lot of unusual experiences that most people are going to have,� he said. “That gives him some fairly unique perspectives on a variety of different aspects on leadership. He has something that all of us can learn from. We just need to apply the messages that he presented today to our own lives.� If you ask LeFevour, the feeling is mutual. “It’s got that small town feel to it, but it’s a larger community at the same time,� he said. “I love coming back and working out, or going to places to eat around town and visiting people that met, and it’s really just a great community feeling.� That showing of endearment LeFevour received throughout his career as a Chippewa is something he said he will never forget. “I always felt welcomed, and I always felt like I was a part of a bigger thing than just football,� he said. “I was a part of the Central Michigan community.�

continued from 1a

This is a stepping stone for the next level. You don’t want to take a step back while you’re here because you could set your whole life back. You want to step forward.� LeFevour had little time to take things for granted and learn how to be a leader. He was thrown into the starting lineup and asked to lead the Chippewas his first year on campus. “I remember coach (Brian) Kelly telling me before that season that the team was dying for a leader, and they were begging for leader and had everything in place but a quarterback,� LeFevour said “It was a lot of fun and a challenge, but luckily it went well for me and continued to go well for me the rest of the time I was here.� The former standout for the Chippewas is still beloved and was well received by many within the faculty, students and community during his visit. “He was always an inclass leader and always just an all-around great guy,� said CMU professor Rick Buerkel. “It’s a pleasure to have him back again.�

lete, she hears LeFevour’s name brought up often. “Everyone talks about Dan LeFevour throughout the community,� she said. “For someone to be so famous on campus and being able to communicate and talk to and not be above you in any way, is really inspiring.� The former CMU signal caller based his style of leadership from various people and experiences throughout his career. “In every step that I have had along the way, with a coach there is something you can pick up,� LeFevour said. “I don’t know if there is one person that I can say I wanted to be like. There’s bits and pieces of how they fit into your personality and style that you pick up along the way.� He urged students to take control of the moment and to let it pass them by. “Don’t take this for granted,� LeFevour said. “There’s a lot of fun to have in college, but don’t take this opportunity lightly.

Women’s basketball puts streak on the line against Memphis, Dayton “After Vegas at our first practice I asked the team what Jewel brings to the table.”

After a strong showing at the Las Vegas Tournament, Central Michigan University women’s basketball is looking to keep the momentum rolling. Following back-to-back wins against Richmond and Oregon, the Chippewas are hitting the road again to face Memphis University and the University of Dayton this weekend. “Las Vegas was a good experience,” said senior Jessica Green. “We had a good time down there, but it was definitely a business trip. It gave the freshmen and the team some confidence going into Memphis.” The team’s confidence has grown in defense and in the bench. CMU has allowed an average of 66 points per game this season, four points fewer than last season. Three teams were able to score more than 80 points on the Chippewas in the first four games of 2013. In 2014 with the newly adopted pack line defense, no team has been able to score more than 71 points. “We wore the other team down,” said Head coach Sue Guevara. “That was because of my ability to play nine people.” The Chippewas will need to look to their bench against Memphis due to an injury sustained by sophomore Jewel Cotton. In the first half against Oregon, Cotton had to be helped off the court after tearing her ACL. “When Jewel went down against Oregon, it was tough,” Guevara said. “We had some tears on the bench because of how she

Men’s basketball won its sixth game of the year in 2013 when Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s potential game-winning shot rimmed out at the buzzer. In 2014, the Chippewas will look to pick up their sixth win against the very same team Saturday. SIU Edwardsville (1-4) will be Central Michigan University’s (5-1) last opponent before the team’s 10day hiatus for finals week. “It’s my philosophy to not have any games during finals week,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “We’ve got some very motivated student-athletes not only on the basketball court, but in the classroom.” Davis said the team will continue to practice during the break. “They need to have as much time to focus on their finals and their academics,” Davis said. “We’ll still have practice, but we want those guys to do well and finish up well in their semester.” CMU returns home after suffering its first loss of the season to Bradley 84-73 in the team’s first road game of the season. “They were definitely more physical, bigger, faster, but the biggest difference was not having the home crowd behind us,” said freshman forward Luke Meyer. “(I’m) looking forward to bouncing back.” With Bradley’s physicality, fouls were an issue for the Chippewas Tuesday, and could be again as SIU Edwardsville has two 6’10” upperclassmen. “It threw off their rhythm when they did try and get back on the court,” said junior guard Chris Fowler, who leads the team with 15.3 points per game. “Every time you get in foul

trouble, one foul brings you right back out of the game and that’s the hardest part.” Davis said the schedule continues to get more challenging. “Both of our teams have the majority of our players returning for this year,” Da-

vis said. “(SIU Edwardsville is) going to come up with the expectation of winning. For us to be able to win at McGuirk Arena, we’re going to need to continue to improve. Our schedule’s only going to get tougher as we go along.”

CMED receives technology grant Zahra Ahmad News Editor

A $297,000 grant was awarded to Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine for video conferencing technology. The grant was awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture. The Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant Program is specifically designed to assist rural communities in acquiring long distance learning and telemedical technologies, so professors and students can communicate by interactive video conferencing. “(CMED’s) purpose is providing service to rural and underserved areas. We had to have a way to place students in these environments and still

have them constantly communicate with each other,” said Associate Professor Steve Vance. The grant will aid in the purchase of technology that will allow third-year students to communicate and share information with peers and professors. Jim Knight, director of marketing and communications, said continuous communication for third-year students at a practice in a different area of the state is crucial, because of CMED’s team-based learning approach. “Third-year students spend six months at these practices, with this technology they don’t have to lose that connection they spent the first two years building with one another,” he said. “With this

technology they will always feel connected to CMU while still being able to get hands on experience at a practice from physicians.” Multiple students can be connected in audio and video sessions where they share what they have learned with one another. Assistant Dean of Institute Technology John Rathje said students will be able to share content from anything as simple as a powerpoint presentation to medical simulations. “It’s not just sharing files, its real time exchange of dialogue and learning,” he said. “Each student would have to agree to communicate through the site or video being shared, so we don’t have outside sources interfering or eavesdrop-

to implement this technology in practice through the application process as early as July 2015. “(CMED) is going to expand its partnership with practices all over Michigan,” Vance said. “Initially our partners were included in the process, those are the

ping in on the conversations.” Vance, Rathje and Rick Middleton, research and sponsored program officer and grant writer, pursued grants that would fit well with the purpose of the college. After applying and being awarded the grant, CMED is set

practices that the initial funding with go to. However, when we do start expanding we can apply for additional funds.¨ CMED will be working with Cisco, the Office of Information of Technology and partner hospitals to implement the technology.

Alumni offer advice, encourage students to prepare for alternate career paths By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

On the day she graduated, Kimberly Stahl was excited about the opportunities life held for her. “I was really excited at the moment,” Stahl said. “I’m going to hit the real world. It’s going to be great. I’m going to get a dog, have my own Wi-Fi and Netflix—and all of these great expectations—and I’m not saying that they didn’t pan out, I’m just saying that it’s not happening as quick as I thought it would.” Alumnae Stahl, Alexandra Middlewood and Erin Brown all graduated last May, but they have led very different lives since then. Stahl has

held temporary jobs since graduation, and they fit well with her major. But now, she is living back home in Saginaw and working as a cashier in a retail

store until she can find a job out of state. “I think the biggest fear was not being able to find a permanent position in time to start paying off my student loans,” Stahl said.

Panhellenic executive board works to improve image of Greek Life By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Those who serve on Central Michigan University’s Panhellenic Executive Board come from various backgrounds within the Greek community, but they work toward a common goal. President Veronica Meadows said the executive board serves as an advocate for the Greek community on campus. Meadows works to maintain the best interests of that community. “We are the e-board that oversees all the sororities on campus,” said the Shelby Township senior. “We work with the university and as a liaison for each individual chapter.” While she faces challenges as president, Meadows said she loves the experiences she has had during her term. “In addition to being president, I’m a student and a human. You have to have a really thick skin,” Meadows said. “There’s always going to be people that don’t agree with

what you’re doing.” This semester, the council’s biggest project was fall recruitment. “Other issues just include communicating with chapters and making sure open communication is always maintained, and with the university as well,” said Vice President Haleigh Roberts. Roberts said by trying to improve communication and open a dialogue with the university, the executive board worked to improve the Greek image this year. As vice president, she is in charge of Greek bylaws, and making sure each sorority keeps up with their specific standards. “I love that my job allows me to get to know people outside of my specific chapter,” she said. “My job is unique in that sense.” Port Sanilac junior Lucie Sertich, serves as vice president of Community Relations for the council, and will also serve as the 2015 Panhellenic president.

“It’s so difficult for me to put into words why I’m so passionate about Greek Life at CMU,” she said. “I have grown so much as a person and as a leader. I also have been so fortunate to meet so many amazing people. Not only do I have an amazing chapter of my own, but I have a whole community of phenomenal men and women behind me.” Working to improve Greek Life’s image on CMU’s campus is one of Sertich’s main goals for next semester. “CMU Greeks are one of a kind,” she said. “We are philanthropic, we are leaders, we are scholastic and we care about the greater community.” Meadows said she feels her job as president has taught her a great deal and prepared her for a future career. “It has made me learn how hard you have to work to be successful,” she said. “It has made me learn how much passion you have to have. I’ve learned how to lead by example.”

“On top of that, I never wanted to be the graduate that returned home and lives with her parents, but I mean with the economy, it’s not uncommon.” Stahl wants to encourage December graduates to kick back and enjoy their time with friends while they can, and remember everyone has a purpose in life. She also said some of her biggest successes in the job market came from being confident. Brown, in Saginaw, is living back home with her parents as well. She is using her degree to work as a sales rep for Griffin Beverages, but someday she might like to be a purchaser instead. “It’s not exactly what I planned on doing, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction,” Brown said. “I want to work in beverage distribution.” Brown’s advice to December graduates is not to stress about finding a job or joining the working world,

but instead enjoy the moment and do not allow mistakes to ruin friendships. “You have to kind of enjoy everything because once you get there it’s hard work,” Brown said. “There’s still a lot of things to look forward to beyond college.” Middlewood, from Columbiaville, is currently going to graduate school in Arkansas. She attributes part of her success in graduate school to professors who helped her along the way. Having mentors really helped Middlewood pursue her goals, and she said if you graduate

without those connections, you miss out on something really special in the college experience. Middlewood’s advice to December graduates is to actively seek out what makes them afraid and face it head-on. “It seems like you are in a really scary place in your life right now, but don’t let that fear stop you from getting what you want,” Middlewood said. “If there is something that you want, go for it, because the only thing that you are going to regret at the end of the day is not trying.”

WITH THE PERFECT HOME

Last minute cramming not helpful By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

It’s three in the morning and the flashcards are all over the floor, your books are wide open and still no information is sticking. It’s now 7 a.m., the final is in five minutes and the sleep deprivation is starting to override the information that you have memorized. Cramming for a final exam is almost inevitable. What most students don’t realize is that it’s actually hurting more than it’s helping. Studies done by University of California, Los Angelos researchers show that if a student sacrifices sleep to study, he or she is more likely to have academic problems the next day. Cramming isn’t just studying excessively for long periods of time — it usually entails sacrificing sleep and food to try and retain information. Sleeping is necessary for learning and if a student isn’t sleeping they aren’t fully transferring their short-term memory into long-term memory. Most students don’t realize that cramming is only short-term memorization, it’s not actually learning. “Memorization, learning and recalling information are all very different from each other,” said Dr. Matthew Johnson, assistant

professor of the Department of Educational Leadership. “Teachers design tests that have a certain amount of information on them. Students will find that cramming as much information into their minds as possible will help them memorize; and it will. But cramming won’t help them actually learn and retain the information.” A group of psychologists looked at the 10 most effective strategies for studying and rated them from least effective to most effective. The most effective study strategies turned out to be practice testing and distributed practice. The least effective were mnemonic devices and rereading, the two most associated with last minute cramming. “I have really bad test anxiety and studying can be difficult for me,” said Tyler Raether, a Stephenson sophomore. “Lately, I have been going over material daily by chunking. I go over everything at one point and then take a break and come back to it all, then repeat. I also study before bed because it helps me remember things better.” A study done in 2013 by cognitive psychologists suggests that cramming is bad for students’ brains, but they continue to do it. When students get worried about test grades and

how much time they have to study, it often activates fear and stress within the brain. These parts of the brain can actually shut down the learning processes, so when students cram they aren’t really learning much at all. “What I’ve learned from cramming in the past is that you can retain a lot of information,” said Alexa Suchner, a Freemont junior. “But you can also forget just as much as you thought you retained when it comes up later on a test.” The strategy that’s worked the most for Johnson is distributed practice. Over time, going over the material over and over again at random times, can really help the brain retain information over a long period of time. “I’ve used the technique of distributed practice at an undergraduate level and graduate level,” Johnson said. “I would review after class, before bed, when I woke up and even studying for my Graduate Record Examination while drinking coffee at the office. I think for fairing well on tests a lot students realize that all they need to do is memorize, which is where all-nighters and cramming come in handy. They wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work for their tests, but it doesn’t work for long term memory and learning.”

tips for finals

1

By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter

Final exams are almost here, and that means so are last minute cramming and group study sessions. Studying for finals can seem a little intimidating at first, but it doesn’t have to be. Below is a list of the top things you can do to get the most out of your study time and do well on every test you have to take.

3

Emily Howard, a Supplemental Instruction leader and Alpena senior, recommends prioritizing. “Study for the classes in the order you have the finals,” she said. “It makes no sense to study for the final you have on Thursday first if you have finals that are on Monday or Tuesday.” Howard also recommended setting up a study schedule and working hard to stick to it. “Create easy-to-achieve increments of dedicated study time throughout the week. Work hard now so you can play later.”

Another tip from Howard is to step away from the Netflix and television, so you can better focus on studying. “You will be able to watch all the TV you want after your last final,” she said. “If you have to, unplug the TV and have your roommate hide the remote.”

Set small, achievable goals. Don’t make unrealistic study goals for yourself, like saying you are going to study for one class all day. “Break it into smaller, doable chunks, perhaps 30 minute or one hour increments. “You will feel better about achieving these small goals than if you had not been able to hack a five hour study marathon,” Howard said.

Joe Gilbert, a Whitehall senior, said it can be helpful when taking notes to write everything in your own words. “I take what is written in the textbook and explain it in my own words. This helps me to connect it to other information for the course,” Gilbert said.

Claire Abendroth | Staff Photographer Stockings are hung from a residence hall door with care on Tuesday as students decorate for the Christmas season in Emmons Hall.

Residence halls get festive By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Things can get pretty stressful during the holiday season, especially with finals right around the corner. Some students will say there is no time for hanging holiday decorations, but others go all out during this season to try and make their temporary home a little more

home-like. “We weren’t planning on going all out with the decorations,” said Oxford freshman Megan Ward. “But we saw a tree at Wal-Mart and decided we couldn’t stop there. We got stocking to put on our heater and ornament stickers on our window. We even decorated the door with a Christmas countdown.” Ward and her roommate, Ida freshman Allie Yorkey, have also hooked up an eight-hour-long fireplace video on their television. They also play Christmas songs on their stereo to spread the happiness of the holidays. “After classes, we come in and the tree is on, and the lights are lit up,” Yorkey said. “It’s such a nice atmosphere after a long day of class. Plus, doing homework in our room is relaxing with the tree and fire place.” While Ward and Yorkey are on the south side of campus, some students in east campus have been getting with the decorations as well. Decorating the door with stockings, a construction paper fireplace and other décor, a few girls in Emmons Hall have been showing the Christmas spirit. “My roommate Claire Hug is mainly responsible for our rooms decorations,” said Saginaw sophomore Kristen Armstrong. “We decorate the door every holiday, but Christmas is our room’s favorite. We all like decorating and listening to Christmas music, as well as spending time with our families.” Christmas time is a time for giving and a time for happiness. Walking through the halls of any residence hall students can check out the doors and rooms with lights hanging all around. “It’s nice to see how involved everyone gets with the holidays,” said Clio freshman Rachel Anderson. “Even though we’re away from our homes, students still feel the need to decorate their doors and spread the holiday cheer throughout the campus.”

Up all night How to pull an all-nighter

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Pulling an all-nighter can be considered a rite of passage for many college students. With finals week coming up, the necessity of staying up all night to finish homework is becoming a reality. While it is generally recommended to never stay up all night, sometimes it is unavoidable. So, when you find yourself in that situation, here are some tips to pull a successful all-nighter and stay awake the next day. When you first realize that you will need to stay awake all night, try to “bank” some sleep. This will allow you to be better rested going into your work session. The best time to take a pre-all-nighter nap is sometime in the mid-afternoon, preferably between 1 and 3 p.m. Do not sleep for more than 90 minutes, otherwise you run the

risk of feeling groggy when you wake up. It might appear that you will need some sort of caffeine for your work session. This could easily backfire. If possible, try to lay off the caffeine the day before so your body has more of a response to it. Have small doses of caffeine at frequent intervals throughout the night. This will let the effects last longer, instead of making you crash. A small cup of coffee every 1-2 hours is best. Make sure you drink water in between those cups of coffee. This will help prevent caffeine jitters. Eat protein and stay away from carbs. Carbs can make you drowsy, so try and eat a protein-rich meal instead. For your evening meal before your all-nighter, eat something high in protein like chicken or salmon. About halfway through the night,

around midnight or whenever your halfway mark is, have another snack. Again, try and eat something high in protein. This will help keep you alert. Stay warm, but not too comfortable. Our body temperature is at its lowest between 3 and 4 a.m., so make sure you’re not so cold you get distracted from your work. However, make sure you’re not too comfortable. Make sure you sit up while working and make sure your space is well-lit. Light tells your body to stay awake. The next morning when you finish your work, say around 8 a.m. or so, take another 90 minute nap. About 90 minutes is how long it takes to go through one sleep cycle, so make sure you don’t sleep any longer than that. Try and keep your workload light for the day, and go to sleep early that night.

Here’s a reason to enjoy the season:

free heat

Exam week horoscope By Jennifer Shepherd The Lipstick Mystic (TNS) Monday, December 8 – Sunday, December 14, 2014 Aries: March 21 - April 19. Business and financial issues are on your mind as Jupiter shines a light on your money sector. You’re definitely due for some type of breakthrough as the New Year approaches. Right now, it’s important to maintain a budget. Don’t overspend on your honey. Taurus: April 20 - May 20. Relationships are important to you, but not just romantic ones. You have dear friends and family members who are also a huge part of your life. Venus is urging you to show appreciation for all the special people you know, not just your sweetheart. Gemini: May 21 - June 21. You could become attracted to someone who is your complete opposite as Venus makes things weird. Maybe you’ll be drawn to a bookish nerd when you usually go for rebellious rocker types. Perhaps you’ll fall in love with a skinny waif when you normally lust after curvier gals. Cancer: June 22-July 22. Long-term relationships always have ups and downs, and as Venus moves opposite your sign for a while, you could become painfully aware of this. Don’t sweat it too much. Stay focused on your partner’s positive qualities and remember to laugh off minor problems. Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22. You could experience a surprise seduction attempt as someone who has the hots for you decides to make his or her move. The moon is creating some intense moments of physical attraction. You’ll have to decide whether you want to court danger with this person or not. Virgo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22. You’ll enjoy a cozy, pleasant feeling this week as Venus brings some healing vibes to your relationship. It’s an “order pizza and snuggle on the couch watching movies together” type of week. You’ll want to indulge in simple, intimate times with your partner.

Libra: Sept. 23 - Oct. 23. A sassy sun could create some tensions in your relationship. Maybe you’re ready for a commitment, but your honey is hesitating. Or perhaps you’d like to move to a new location and you’re pressuring your partner to join you. Keep talking things out. Scorpio: Oct. 24 - Nov. 2. Venus has been playing some games with you lately, but that should soon fade away. Take a cold, sober look at your current relationship situation. Chances are you’ll have some major insights about what you really need to do. Sagittarius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. Two planets are teaming up to bring you romantic fun this week. If you’ve been alone for a while, you might meet someone interesting who has a wonderful spark. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll have some light, flirty times with your honey. Capricorn: Dec. 22 - Jan.19. Venus will be in your sign for several weeks, increasing your sexual confidence and personal charisma. If you’ve been too shy to date lately, now you’ll feel much bolder about meeting new people. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll charm your partner more than ever. Aquarius: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18. You might want to focus more on outside friendships than romantic partnerships. A moon opposition could create feelings of friction with your honey, and your patience is likely to be low. Blow off steam by hanging out with your buddies. Pisces: Feb. 19 - March 20. You could enjoy an intimate discussion with someone, thanks to the moon. Maybe you’ll meet a nice guy who reflects back something positive about you, sharing sweet compliments. Or perhaps you’ll enjoy an intellectually stimulating chat with a girl you meet online.
