Race to save lives: CMU promotes organ donation Michigan universities support organ donor registry through Gift of Life Campus Challenge By Derek Brueck Staff Reporter

April Lucas was nearing graduation, earning a masters degree in Hospitality Services Administration from Central Michigan University

when she suffered a brain aneurism. The Macomb graduate student died in 2011 at the age of 23. Her family made the decision to donate her organs. That choice saved lives. “She would have been happy to

see the lives that she saved,” said Washington sophomore Derek Lucassian, Lucas’ cousin. Lucassian, who at the time of his cousin’s death was in high school, saw the impact of organ donation. “After seeing the good in which organ donation can do, it strengthened my beliefs about donation,” Lucassian said. Already a registered organ donor at the time of his cousin’s

death, Lucassian said organ donation continues to play a major role in his life today. Throughout the last month he helped organize the 12th Annual Gift of Life Campus Challenge. Michigan schools compete to sign up the most people to the Michigan Organ Donor Registry. CMU is ranked third for the number of students registered. The schools competing against

CMU this year are Wayne State University, Northern Michigan University, Michigan State University, Eastern Michigan University, Sienna Heights University and Calvin College.

Graduate student films crime drama using students, city By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

One of the biggest challenges Grant Pichla faced during graduate school was finding a public place to bring a gun. A former graduate student in the Broadcast and Cinematic Arts program at Central Michigan University, Pichla directed “Niner” before he graduated in May 2014. The crime drama, which was written by Eric Dickson, will be shown at 1 p.m. Feb. 15 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium as part of the Central Michigan International Film Festival. Pichla had to notify the police when filming a scene with fake guns for his feature-length movie. “You can’t just go out into a parking lot and start waving a gun around,” Pichla said. Pichla didn’t want just a horror movie or a romantic comedy — he thought they would be too shallow. Instead, he wanted a drama with suspense because those are the kinds of movies he likes to watch. His film is about an offbeat detective who must choose between pursuing a murder investigation or saving his reputation in a court case where he is being framed. Pichla said the themes of the film are “making a few wrongs in order to make a right, the effects of guilt and revenge and choosing between what is legal and what is just.” Creating the film was an interesting experience, he said, because many of the people who helped with the film were CMU students. Kevin Neil Smith, a fellow graduate student at the time, worked with Pichla and produced the film. Smith said Pichla told him “I’m going to make a movie,” so Smith agreed to help. “The nice thing about being at a university is that the people who are volunteering to help you have a passion for it and are eager to

learn,” Pichla said. Many people think the biggest challenges of making an independent film are money and resources. For Pichla it was managing time. The people working on the film had jobs and classes during

production, so it was difficult to find the time to work on the film. Pichla had to be conscious of the cast’s other commitments. Smith said it was difficult to figure out when people would be available for scenes which require four to 20 people, and plan the

Logan Hagen was told he had six months to live. Logan was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2009. Despite going through multiple chemotherapy and radiation treatments, the cancer relapsed in 2011, 2013 and 2014. “It was absolutely terrifying that he was not responding to any of the treatment,” said Logan’s mother Kim Hagen. After a relapse in 2014, doctors informed Kim they had run out of options. Her son only had months to live, doctors predicted. “I felt that there was no hope left for my son,” Hagen said.

Instead of standing, Walter Beach insisted on sitting down to address students and faculty as equals. “I don’t like the format of talking down to people,” Beach said. “I’m a man of no special rank, that’s how I view myself, and I appreciate this chance to share my experiences with you.” The 1959 graduate returned to his alma mater Thursday to speak with students about his experiences being a black athlete during the Civil Rights era. Beach played for Central Michigan University football under Kenneth “Wild Bill” Kelly — the same Kelly who is half the namesake of Kelly/ Shorts stadium — who faced

discrimination for his inclusion of black players. Once while on the road, Kelly and the team slept on the bus because Walter Beach Beach was not allowed into the hotel where they planned to stay. “Central Michigan was the first place I felt like I was just a human being, not a black man,” Beach said. “It was a freeing environment for me.” At CMU, Beach set records during his four-year career, including single season and career rushing, receptions and w BROWN | 2A

He discussed the discrimination he encountered throughout his career and his activism in the 1960’s, which at one point jeopardized his employment with the Browns. Beach may have irked his superiors, but he never went against his principles. “It is an unquestionable crime for a man to betray himself,” Beach said. The then-owner of the Browns, Art Model, once confronted Beach while the team was on the road in 1963. Beach was reading a book on the subject of ethnicity during his down time, and Model told him to stop. Beach refused, pointing out that even though Model was the owner, he had no authority to control what he read. Beach has spent his life,

Students at Central Michigan University have more cost effective study abroad options this year. The Office of Study Abroad at CMU announced new lowcost study abroad programs through a partner organization, the University Studies Abroad Consortium. The new USAC programs offer classes in a variety of locations, including Thailand, Japan, Sweden, Ghana, India, Brazil, Italy, Germany and the Czech Republic. Assistant Director of Study Abroad and Study Abroad Advisor Amber Schneider said CMU has always had low-cost options for students. CMU offers over 150 different programs across the world, many of which are comparable to the cost of attending CMU. “We really do talk to students right from the beginning about the cost as an important factor,” Schneider said. “We tend to

campus challenge. The organization works with honor students interested in the health field to provide service opportunities. Jessica Sharkey, vice president of the society, is also working to promote the Gift of Life Michigan Campus Challenge. “It’s a great thing for students to be on the organ donor registry,” Sharkey said. Organ donors are in short supply. More than 123,000 people are in need of lifesaving transplants. Kloha

focus on the low-cost programs if that is a significant concern.” Outreach Coordinator and Study Abroad Advisor Sarah Barnard said these new programs offer language courses, but foreign language is not required because each location offers classes taught in English. Most of the new programs are offered both during the academic year and the summer, with summer programs typically lasting four to 10 weeks. Among the low-cost options this year are exchanges and faculty-led programs. Through exchange programs, such as the Korea University-Sejong program, a student pays CMU tuition at the other university while a student from that university comes to CMU. The exchange program in Korea provides students with a scholarship that covers room and board and partial airfare. Students can also receive a stipend for tutoring English. Exchange programs are less and Sharkey believe the shortage is because of an uninformed public that doesn’t understand what it takes to become a donor. Registration requires a drivers license and a few minutes of time to register online or when renewing a license. “You get a nice heart on your (driver’s) license to show people you care,” Lucassian said. Registrants don’t need to be a CMU student to become a registered donor. All members of the community are encouraged to register and will count towards CMU’s score in the Gift of Life Campus Challenge.

the CMU Bookstore. Beach signed every copy with the words “be the light.” “Consider this” is not an autobiography,” Beach said. “The stories I share expensive options, especially with additional scholarships. “With scholarships we’ve had students who’ve recognized that it’s actually been cheaper to be abroad,” said Director of Study Abroad Dianne De Salvo. Schneider said the Office of Study Abroad has a close relationship with the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Financial aid that the student qualifies for at CMU will carry over with very few exceptions when that student studies abroad. If students can, Schneider said, students should plan to study abroad during a semester when they’re receiving more financial aid if they can. Both Barnard and Schneider were first generation college students. Schneider was a Pell Grant recipient. She also studied abroad three times as a student at CMU. “Because we both came from that background, we certainly understand where students are coming from and that’s something we really talk to students about right from the beginning,” Schneider said. Students who do not qualify for other types of financial aid can still file FAFSA and take out loans. They can also apply for scholarships that are awarded specifically for study abroad.

SAMRC | continued from 1A Manny Estrada, another member of SAMRC, said Logan is a happy and carefree kid. “I asked if I could hug him, and he said ‘of course, you’re my buddy’ and I had just met him,” Estrada said. With few options left she found the idea of cannabis oils through a friend on Facebook. After using small dosages on Logan, progress was made within four days. “I figured since doctors had pumped my child with radiation for five years, what’s the worst this could do?” Hagen asked. Logan has taken dosages of 41 different combinations of cannabis, which was melted down into cannabis oil. Kim said it is difficult to find the perfect

combination of dosages for children as anyone can have different reactions to the treatment. In June, a tumor was discovered in one of Logan’s testicles and a “softballsized” tumor grew behind his eye. Kim increased Logan’s dosage intake to three grams per day and used a nasal spray to administer the cannabis. She claims cannabis stopped the growth but did not affect the leukemia. After detoxing Logan’s blood, liver, and lymph nodes with cleansing cannabis liquids, the doctors found that the tumors shrunk. Logan has extended the predicated six months to 13 months and counting. “This is true medicine at true value,” Burnett said. “Logan has long built up a tolerance. He runs around and plays just like any normal child.”

INSIDE LIFE Department of Art and Design purchases new tablets

life in brief university

SGA election season kicks off with election forum

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

Eight new tablets are available for student use in the Department of Art and Design. The department received tablets from Japanese technology company Wacom after Department Chair Larry Burditt prepared a proposal, asked the faculty for input and reviewed it with the departmental executive committee. The committee approved the proposal, which was then approved by College of Communication and Fine Arts Interim Dean Shelly Hinck. Burditt said the new tablets allow students to use brush features that look like a traditional painting. He said the tablets are another tool to benefit students in the changing industry. “It’s just one more way we’re trying to see what the up-andcoming technology is and how it could be incorporated with traditional art,” Burditt said. He said students know the tablets, which the department has had for less than a month, are available for them to use in labs but not individual courses yet. “They’re available in the general lab we use,” Burditt said. “We only have eight of them so it’s not enough for an entire class but we’ve done demos and shown them how to use them.” Bay City senior Katie Mielens plans to use a tablet for her honors capstone project. The two-dimensional art major plans to study abroad in Italy in fall 2015. She plans to exhibit her project, so she and her adviser discussed possible ways to display her work. She decided she could use a tablet to send her art to the university to have it enlarged by the department. “What I plan to use the tablet for is to push what art can be and challenge what art is because even though I’m not actually sending a physical piece of art there, it still can be exhibited,” Mielens said. Alumna Caitlin Clark, who uses a tablet for the majority of her artwork, said tablets are necessary for the changing industry. “The majority of fine art careers now are in fields such as entertainment where artists would be required to be proficient in making art with a tablet,” Clark said. She believes her ability to make art on a tablet has increased her professional opportunities because she can create artwork for companies that want something digital rather than a physical painting. Mielens said the art department has kept up well with new technologies. “It helps me out a lot because I’m able to still draw and still do all of the things I like and I’m passionate about but I’m also able to work digitally and experiment,” she said. “My independent study is enabling me to experiment with these things before I leave.” Mielens aspires to work in education at an art center and she thinks learning these skills while in college will not only help her with her own artwork, it will help her teach different technologies to other people. Burditt said the tablets make creating art more efficient because there’s an undo button and it’s easier to make corrections. However, he said it can also take some time to get used to because people didn’t initially learn to draw on a tablet. Clark agreed the skills can be difficult to learn, but once students learn them, it makes the process easier. “I think it’s good to experiment,” Mielens said. “I think everyone should widen their horizons.”

Cosplay Club provides therapy through costumes

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter

College student by day and dragon by night, Amy Marquardt dressed up Monday as Toothless from the animated film “How to Train your Dragon.” The Central Cosplay Club, a registered student organization changes their identity and personalities from 8-10 p.m., Mondays in Anspach Hall 258. The club also attends conventions all year. “The best part of being in a group cosplay club is that you can do group costumes, and have fun with people that share an interest with you,” the Wisconsin freshman said. Alongside Marquardt, Indiana sophomore Jaye Erwin dressed as Hiccup, also from “How to Train your Dragon.” Other costumes included characters from popular Japanese animation series “Duararar!!” and other animated films and books. “When you cosplay with someone you have more role playing opportunities and it’s more fun,” Erwin said. “You also can build off one another with couple dress up, work more in character, and it creates a lot of crazy antics.” The club travels to conventions in full costume. Last weekend the group traveled to Alma College for the Almacon Convention, an anime and

“We get to learn, grow and get critiques in a friendly environment. Cosplay is just a really good form of expression.” Jaye Erwin, Indiana sophomore gaming convention hosted by Alma College Otaku and Gamers, an anime and gaming club. “Conventions give everyone a chance to show off what they have been working on,” Erwin said. “We get to learn, grow and get critiques in a friendly environment. Cosplay is just a really good form of expression. You can be whatever you want without being judged.” President Alexander Hansen said the club is always taking new members. Cosplay is for everyone, he said. “If you feel like you would enjoy dressing up like anybody or anything, then by all means come join,” the Edmore sophomore said. “Cosplay is the art form of dressing up as a pop culture character.” Edmore said cosplay also can be a form of therapy. “Some people may feel like they don’t belong and are trying to find their identity,” he said. “I usually do anime style cosplay dress up because generally, they

have different personalities than I do. I am a tiny bit of an actor and I find enjoyment with acting like the characters that I cosplay.” Each member creates their own costumes, and some find comfort from cosplay. Club secretary and Waterford junior Sam Milner said she likes the ability to be another person. “I like characters that are strong,” Milner said. I tend to be more quiet and let people mess with me, so I like to cosplay as someone who isn’t.”

Students interested in running for a position in the Student Government Association are required to come to a general assembly on Monday, Feb. 16. Packets with instructions for how to run will be available at the meeting at 8 p.m. in Anspach Hall 162. Any individual, regardless if they are a member of SGA, can run for an elected position. Elections officer Josh Palmer, and SGA adviser Shaun Holtgreive, will be going over the details of the packet this coming weekend. “Monday’s election forum will provide CMU students the opportunity to learn more about the positions available during the election,” Palmer said. “The president, vice president, treasurer, and senate leader will speak to the general assembly about the details of their positions so students gain a new idea of their role and responsibilities. “ Included in the packet will be a letter from elections director, elections committee operating protocol, the 2015 election schedule and several other documents used to guide students through the election process. This year’s election process will account for the senator bylaw change, which was enacted at last Monday’s SGA meeting. “Per the bylaw changes on Monday, senators who run will not run for a specific college,” Palmer said. “They will run as a general senator and be assigned a college by the senate leader after he/ she is appointed.” Applications are due at noon on Feb. 27. Forms must be submitted to the SGA elections director mailbox in the Student Involvement Center in the Bovee University Center 104G.

They also filmed in other Michigan locations and received support from people who let them use their houses and other locations. This doesn’t mean filming was simple. The production crew needed to film a courtroom scene, but they couldn’t use a courtroom in Mount Pleasant or in Ubly, Pichla’s hometown. Eventually they found a location through one of their crew members. Pichla’s favorite aspect was working with the crew. He spent much time working on the film with these people and now, he has a completed feature-length film.

News “You actually have something that comes out of (the work you do) and you can watch it forever, and it reminds you of everything you did,” Pichla said. From making this film, Pichla learned that the process is huge and there is a distinct difference between making a film for YouTube and making one for a movie theatre. While he said one person could do most of the work for a YouTube video, a film for a professional screen requires a team. “It’s not wise to try to do everything yourself,” he said. “You really have to break it apart and share the workload with other people.” Smith also said the film was a valuable learning experience. “Every creative project that I’ve worked on has taught me something,” Smith said. “’Niner’ has taught me everything.”

‘The Hundred Dresses’ play examines bullying through eyes of the aggressor we don’t speak up. We wish we would have spoken up because it may have helped things,” said director Nancy Eddy. Peggy realizes Wanda has been wearing the same blue dress every day to school. She asks Wanda if she has any other dresses, to which Wanda replies that she has 100 dresses all lined up in her closet. This triggers a new game for Peggy, who clearly doesn’t believe the lie. The class soon hosts a drawing competition where the girls draw dresses. When the winner is revealed, 100 dresses fly up onto the screen and reveal the stunning drawings are Wanda’s.

EDITORIAL | SGA policy could lead to subpar college representation

Attention graphic design students Rob Letosky Designer

Quality, not quantity T

he Student Government Association passed an amendment Monday allowing student senators to represent any academic college

regardless of whether they are members of these colleges.

Previously, students had to be enrolled in an academic college in order to represent it as a senator. The reason for that rule is simple: students cannot properly represent the needs of a college if they do not belong to it. Rather than sacrifice honest representation of the academic colleges, SGA should seek alternative solutions to filling specific senator positions. Having full representation of the academic colleges in SGA is important. Having qualified representation is imperative. A senator who has been enrolled in an academic college for a year or two is familiar with the professors and other students. That senator is involved with the college on a daily basis and understands its

needs firsthand. Under this reinstated system, a senator could represent a college he or she have never set foot in. That’s the wrong solution. SGA has reinstituted this policy to ensure a “fully-functioning senate” according to Vice President Mairah Urueta. While general membership is not a problem, there is a tendency for too many students to try to represent one college while too few run to represent others. The colleges that end up overrepresented and underrepresented vary each election. During the last election, the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences had nine senators running to represent it. The College of Communication and Fine Arts had only three senators, though it had four seats to be filled, according to SGA President

Study abroad is worth the experience TO THE EDITOR: I read with some irritation the editorial you published in the Monday, Feb. 2 edition about study abroad, one of the oddest and least coherent editorials I have read in Central Michigan Life over the years.

Charles Mahone. Instead of the policy change, members of SGA could increase their recruiting efforts in specific colleges that appear to have low representation. If too few students run for senator seats for a college, SGA should reach out personally to that college and recruit more senator candidates. It is also up to the student body to educate itself about the work that SGA does and to get involved. We need to meet SGA halfway. If you aren’t sure what a senator does, go to the group’s election forum at 8 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16 in Anspach Hall 162. SGA has already been successful in promoting its organization with a website, OrgSync profile, Facebook page and Twitter account. Increased promotion of senator positions, and the experience provided, could help with the senator distribution problem. To learn more or to get involved with SGA, visit the group’s website at cmusga.wordpress.com. Election applications for positions within SGA are due on Feb. 27. Your voice counts. Consider using it to represent the students in your college, or risk losing it altogether.

Are you interested in graphic design? If you are or have already tried to apply to the program, I suggest you take this to heart. After this semester, the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design will only be accepting portfolios once an academic year instead of the current, per semester submissions. Start preparing a portfolio now for the upcoming submission on March 6 so you can start taking courses for the major. Getting into the program may seem like a big obstacle and quite the hassle to students who want to dive right into the graphic design program. I know the stress you’re going through. My portfolio was all I could think about for a week straight. But the feeling after getting into the program and knowing you are that much closer to graduation is worth the stress. I see the submissions as a necessary obstacle, as it weeds out the students who aren’t serious about the major. The ones who are work harder on their portfolios. You have to be good to be one of ten students admitted every semester. First off, go to art.cmich.edu and download the BFA application and instructions. Fill that page out and write a pretty juicy essay describing why you want to get in the program. Next, include a description page for each design. A few sentences describing your inspiration as well as what the design was for is strongly suggested. Make it look appealing. Demonstrate your typography skills. Knowing your fonts and hierarchy will make a difference to the judges. If you have designed a cover for a CD or t-shirt, or something bulky and large, don’t include the entire thing in your portfolio. It looks unappealing as well as unprofessional. Instead, take a picture of it. To ensure your portfolio is diverse and appealing, include both in-class and out-of-class examples of your design work. This shows the judges that you are interested in the program, spending hours outside of class sharpening your skills. Limit yourself to 10 pieces at maximum, although I recommend fewer than that. It is better to have fewer good pieces than ten that showcase mediocre work. Don’t fill your portfolio with mediocrity. Plan for the worst. It’s OK to not get accepted in the program your first try, and most don’t. I didn’t get accepted until my second try. Never give up on your portfolio or your work. It’s always a work in progress. Good luck.

study abroad, what a life-enriching experience, but, don’t bother. You can’t afford it.’ This is where I got confused about the purpose of the editorial. I certainly agree that study abroad is an incredible, indeed unmatchable experience. I would not have become a professor of French had it not been for the extraordinary year I spent in France as a college sophomore. But I also agree that spending time studying abroad may involve some sacrifices, and I am the first to wish the university would put its money

where its mouth is and offer more funding for study abroad. But why spend the bulk of your editorial seemingly discouraging students from even envisioning what you seem to view as an exciting and worthwhile prospect? I don’t get it. Finally, it is simply not true that study abroad is not well advertised, as the editorial suggests. On the contrary, the Office of Study Abroad is very diligent about publicizing its programs and organizing opportunities for interested students to learn about them from fellow students who have

JR’s All-Star Haircuts for Men boast salon skills JR’s

By Derek Brueck Staff Reporter

Logos of every Detroit Sports team fill the wall space along with enormous high definition televisions and a comfy seat to relax in. It’s not a sports bar. It’s a salon. JR’s All-Star Haircuts For Men opened for business in September. Services range from a basic haircut to an eyebrow wax. “We are not a barber shop. We are stylists, but we have barber skills,” said Mellissa Hutchins, a stylist at the salon. The salon combines both the aesthetics elements of a sports bar and a machine shop. Walls are covered with the logos of the Detroit Lions, Pistons, Tigers and Red Wings. For men waiting for their haircut, JR’s offers patrons reading material including

Emily Mesner | Staff Photographer Chris Breidinger cuts Regis Ferland’s hair on Feb. 4 at Barber Chris in downtown Mount Pleasant.

Old-school services offered at Barber Chris By Erick Fredendall Staff Reporter

For Chris Breidinger, getting a haircut at a barbershop is a classic and timeless tradition comprised of more than clippers and a few minutes in a chair. Breidinger, owner of Barber Chris barbershop, is a licensed barber with 15 years of experience. He opened his namesake shop at 206 South Main Street in September. The barbershop specializes in men’s haircuts both long and short, ranging from classic to modern cuts. The atmosphere of the shop defines what Breidinger wants his business to be: A place for guys to relax, receive a good cut or shave and watch a game. Inside the one-room shop sit four cherry-red barber chairs. A flat-screen TV set to a sports network airs games of the day while a Pandora station plays modern and classic rock hits in the background. “I want it to be like you’re going over to your buddy’s

man cave and hanging out,” Breidinger said. “When you come here we’re going to talk about sports, about going to the bars. We’ve been around. We’ve got stories.” Breidinger explained that many men believe they have to go to hairstylists or salons for more complicated styles rather than barbershops, which are often stereotyped as simple and only for the older crowd. “A lot of people think when they see a barber shop that it’s some old guy in an old building, giving them flat-tops. I do more modern styles like short fades, tapers and lines as well. We also know how to do long hair,” Breidinger said. Traverse City senior Quinn McKay said he sees the barbershop as a modern adaptation to the more traditional, old-school experience. “You think of old barbershops from the 50’s, but that’s not really all this place is about.

more modern ones like fades,” McKay said. Barber Chris also offers straight razor shaves, complete with hot towels and skin care. Pete Grondin, Barber Chris’s second barber, specializes in straight razor shaves, a practice he said lost popularity when King C. Gillette began producing safety razors in the early 1900’s. According to Grondin, straight razors are now manufactured in Germany and are disposable. After a razor is used, it’s thrown away to prevent potential health threats. Although the shop’s specialty is men’s haircuts and shaves, both barbers are also trained to cut women’s hair. There are no appointments. Clients are encouraged to walk in.

Students react to Gov. Snyder’s recognition of gay marriage By James Wilson Staff Reporter

Gov. Rick Snyder announced on Feb. 4 that Michigan will recognize more than 300 same-sex marriages that took place March 22, 2014. Marriage equality also could be legalized in all 50 states due to a recent decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court. The federal court will hear four cases related to same-sex marriage from four states. With the marriage equality being addressed on both the state and federal level, Central Michigan University students have mixed feelings on the issue. DeWitt senior Megan Winans said her definition of marriage is between one man and one woman, but the devout Catholic said she feels compassion for same-sex couples looking to wed. “My best friend who is gay

Students develop video games for disabled gamers By Kevin Andrews Staff Reporter

Vibrations and sounds take the place of threedimensional graphics and colors for the visually impaired. A virtual reality simulator helps those with cognitive disabilities learn to cross the street. Playing video games is a pastime for many Central Michigan University students, but for those with disabilities, it can prove to be a challenging exercise. Howell junior Ethan Coggins, an information technology major, is a member of the CMU Game Development and Design Club. The group is in a registered student organization. The club is made up of undergraduate students who are working with assistant computer science professor Tony Morelli on a virtual reality project. Using simulations, the game is intended to help high school students with intellectual disabilities learn to navigate a city environment, along with the functions of street crossings and traffic signals. The project is starting this semester. “Any way to bring gaming to more people I am 100 percent for,” Coggins said. In his second year at CMU, Morelli and several students have begun to adapt popular video games so those with disabilities can get in on the action. “In general, what I’ve done in the past is start games from scratch and create them specifically for people who are blind,” Morelli said. “Everything is enhanced sounds, and vibrations which allow the player to interact with the game.” Prior to coming to CMU, he worked for 14 years in slot machine testing and development in new markets.

and engaged to his partner is hoping the Supreme Court will rule in favor, so I am empathetic to those waiting to marry,” Winans said. It appears Snyder chose not to appeal for political reasons, Winans said, leaving it up to America’s highest court to make a decision on the federal level. “Snyder is trying to play it safe by allowing the Supreme Court to decide the issue for the future of Michigan,” Winans said. “This creates legal friction that puts pressure on these cases. We now have people with certain rights acknowledged and other same-sex couples waiting for a federal answer.” President of College Democrats Sam McNerney said Snyder chose not to appeal for the financial benefits. “I think he has realized that fighting against the cause is a huge waste of tax money,” said the Vestaburg senior. “I

am very happy that he didn’t appeal. I just don’t think he did it because he grew a heart for the issue.” Dearborn junior Greg Pernicano said same-sex marriage is a moral issue and should be decided on by each state individually. Pernicano said same-sex couples deserve the same financial rights as heterosexual couples. “A federal law allowing same-same marriage would force a lot of people to recognize something they don’t necessarily want to, Pernicano said. Ithaca senior Jon Thebo, a member of College Republicans, said he is glad the governor decided not to appeal. “As the governor stated, the judge has determined samesex couples were legally married on that day, and will follow the law and extend state marriage benefits to those couples,” he said.

My experience at Wayne Law has been nothing short of wonderful. As a Wayne Law student, I was afforded the rewarding opportunity to work as a student attorney at the Free Legal Aid Clinic, providing legal services to indigent members of the Detroit community, and as a judicial intern at the federal courthouse just a short distance from campus.

“I wasn’t the skinniest kid out there,” Kozinski said. “I had to buy elastic jeans and I wore sweatpants to school every day. I wasn’t too fast. Driving (to the basket) wasn’t my best suit.” That was when the native of Edwardsburg, a southwest Michigan village with a population less than 1,400, decided to focus on shooting 3-pointers. Today, Kozinski is on pace to shatter CMU’s all-time record for 3-pointers made. “My dad was a shooter,” Kozinski said. “I love shooting. My dad was a varsity coach and my favorite players to watch were the (players) that shot corner threes. I just kind of took it up after them.” Kozinski went to the gym every morning before school, shooting 3-pointers, quickening his release. He sets the shooting machine at one second; that means every second another ball is shot out. “He’s got as quick of a release as anybody that I’ve been able to coach,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “He’s put time in throughout

his life to develop as a shooter.” In a ritual that started at the beginning of the season, Kozinski and sophomore guard Braylon Rayson have 3-point competitions before each practice starts. “Sometimes I beat him, sometimes he beats me,” Rayson said. “I think I’ve got deeper range. He’s more of a straight shooter. I can put it down and get to the rack. Kozinski is a 3-point specialist. The second-year Chippewa is 56for-158 behind the 3-point arc this season, while going 2-for-3 on twopoint shots. “We tried to find the best shooter that we could in that class,” Davis said. “We were really happy being able to land Josh. He came in with a reputation as a great shooter and he’s definitely lived up to that billing.” Kozinski was sidelined with an injury during the 2013-2014 season and was granted a redshirt since he

only played in nine games. This year, Kozinski is averaging 8.3 points per game off the bench during his 17.8 minutes per game. Junior guard Chris Fowler said he relates to the challenges of getting playing time as a freshman. “There’s a level of intensity that you need to sustain as a freshman,” Fowler said. “And if you don’t sustain it, those older guys, you can play with them for awhile, but they’ll beat you up toward the end.” Davis said not putting too much pressure on a freshman is key. “We’re playing several (freshmen) in our rotation,” Davis said. “But I don’t think any of them feel pressure to lead us or to have (to have) a great game for us to win.” Similar to the rest of the team, Fowler said Kozinski’s defense is quietly one of the skills he’s improved

Finishing eighth in the MidAmerican Conference Match Play Challenge in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., the Central Michigan University golf team opened near the bottom of the competition in their first action of the inaugural season. “It was nice to get some rust off and just get out and play,” said Head Coach Cheryl Stacy. “There were some positives even though we finished at the bottom. The players played strong that first nine but kind of fizzled out a little bit.” CMU competed against MAC opponents and Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne during the two-day tournament. “I wasn’t sure what to expect. I definitely would like to improve. I see potential and that’s positive,” Cheryl Stacy Stacy said. “I would like to get up to that midMAC range.” During the second round of action on Tuesday, CMU fell to IPFW 3-1-1. Freshman Amanda Walsh had the Chippewa’s lone victory against IPFW with a 1-up finish over Candi Keller, scoring a 42. “Walsh won her final nine-hole match and played well,” Stacy said. Freshman Natalie Johnson halved her match with IPFW’s Ashton Taft scoring a 39. “Natalie came back from being two-down and won her final two holes to tie it off,” Stacy said. “That was a good tie.” On Monday, CMU lost 4-1 in the first round of play to Eastern Michigan University and the University of Akron 5-0. Freshman Chloe Guschewski won the only match for the Chippewas against EMU with a 2-up victory over the Eagles’ Lois Schoof. “We had Chloe Guschewski play a really good round her first 18,” Stacy said. Stacy said attention to detail and the fundamentals of the game will be most important for the Chippewas in their inaugural season. “We need to work on some short game things with pitching and chipping,” she said. “(We’re) trying to be a little more intense practice wise.” CMU will compete again in the Benbow Collegiate Tournament Monday, March 9.

Men’s hoops prepares for road test against Buffalo By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Head Coach Keno Davis and the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team in the midst of a lengthy conference road trip. The Chippewas next stop is 2 p.m. Saturday at the University at Buffalo. It will be the second of two matchups between the two MidAmerican Conference teams. CMU managed to put the Bulls away 84-73 at McGuirk Arena on Jan. 21. “I don’t think you change a whole lot about the concept you had the first time around,” Davis said. “You just try to refine some things.” Seven games remain on CMU’s schedule. Three of those games will be at home. CMU sits at a 4-4 record on the road this season. The Chippewas sit in second place in their division at 17-5 (7-4 MAC). “We’re at a point right now where there’s not a game on our schedule we don’t believe we can win,” Davis said. “We know it’s

more of an opportunity to move up the standings. In order for the Chippewas to finish the season with a winning record on the road, they will have to improve their shooting performance from last week’s 70-65 win over Western Michigan. CMU shot 39.3 percent from the field against Ohio University in its last game, but were bailed out on the offensive and defensive glass, outrebounding the Bobcats 40-29 during the win. Junior guard John Simons grabbed 13 rebounds against OU, en route to a double-double. He also scored 18 points against the Bobcats. “Now we’re going on (Buffalo’s) home court. Things are different when you’re on the road,” Simons said. “We have to be locked in. Anybody can beat anybody.” Simons said he is not worried about the Chippewas shooting the ball on the road. “A lot of shooting teams have w men’s hoops | 2B

What is ‘Borrelli Built?’ Ian Ashbury

Staff Reporter

“Focused, motivated and willing to sacrifice everything you have.” That was the answer sophomore Jordan Wohlfert gave me when I asked what it meant to be “Borrelli Built.” It’s a phrase that has been around since the late 2000s according to Central Michigan University assistant coach and former wrestler Ben Bennett. In his 22 years at CMU, Head Coach Tom Borrelli has claimed 16 MidAmerican Conference titles, coached six MAC Wrestler of the Year honorees and guided 23 All-Americans. Being “Borrelli Built” is not just about how you perform on the mat, the Chippewas say. To Bennett, that expression symbolizes a lifestyle. “Working hard, doing the right things, representing yourself the right way,” Bennett explained. “It’s not just wrestling, it’s about the rest of your life.” It seems being “Borrelli Built” also incorporates a bit of humility. Ask any wrestler what it means; they’ll talk about hard work and sacrifice. It’s not about glory and championships. Ask Borrelli, and you can see where the Chippewas learned their modesty. “I don’t know what that means,” Borrelli said. “Maybe it means to have influence on these guys in a positive manner.” CMU wrestling has a reputation of always being near the top of the standings and always playing against the best competition. Borrelli has made success the norm since joining CMU. He has built a dynasty, a program that expects excellence and constantly strives for. What does it mean to be “Borrelli Built?” Maybe it’s not so much about an athlete or a coach. Perhaps it’s more about a program. A program that has been “Borrelli Built” from the ground up.

Wrestling hosts Old Dominion, Horan to take on Mecate By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Old Dominion University, one of the Central Michigan University wrestling team’s biggest tests of the year, will come to Mount Pleasant at 2 p.m. Sunday at McGuirk Arena. ODU is 10-4 overall, and 3-1 in Mid-American Conference play this season. The Big Blue is ranked 20th in the NCAA and sits directly behind the Chippewas in the MAC Standings heading into the weekend. The MAC’s top team, Missouri, has cemented its position as the conference’s No. 1 team. Both CMU and Old Dominion’s only conference losses came at the hands of the Tigers. Head Coach Tom Borrelli is trying to keep things simple for his team and the conference standings out of his players’ minds. “We’re trying to keep it normal,” Borrelli said. “We haven’t made a big deal out of it.” Sunday’s matchup will be the first time CMU has faced a Top 20 team this year. They lost to Missouri, ranked No. 4 in the country at the time. Early season nonconference matches against elite schools like the University of Michigan and Iowa State University have given the Chippewas valuable experience and kept their minds on a “one match at a time,” track. “I haven’t really been thinking about (the matchup

with ODU),” said 165-pound sophomore Jordan Wohlfert. “As a team we’re pretty motivated right now.” Wohlfert was one of two CMU wrestlers who claimed a first-place spot at the Edinboro Open tournament last weekend. Wohlfert’s performance earned him MAC Wrestler of the Week honors. A key match up against Old Dominion will be in the 141 pound weight class. ODU’s Chris Mecate is set to showdown with CMU’s highest-ranked individual competitor: Zach Horan. Horan comes into Sunday’s matchup Mecate ranked 11 overall. Mecate is ranked 10th.

Bradford doubtful, women’s basketball heads to Eastern By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Stumbling into a matchup against a heated rival, the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team needs a win. With their backs against the wall and needing a confidence building victory, the Chippewas will hit the road to take on Eastern Michigan University at noon on Saturday. CMU has struggled to stay in contention in the MidAmerican Conference and is riding a two-game losing streak, having fallen from first place in the MAC West to fourth in two weeks. EMU has also had its fair share of difficulties, none worse than dealing with the passing of junior forward Shannise Heady, who died

in a car accident on Jan. 26. “We addressed the passing of Heady when it happened, but we haven’t addressed it since,” said Head Coach Sue Guevara. “I don’t think it will have any impact on the game.” The Eagles are coming into the matchup with heavy hearts, and like the Chippewas, have lost three of their last four games. They are at the very bottom of the MAC West division. “Eastern is very similar to us in that they’re having trouble scoring a little bit right now,” Guevara said. “The West division is tough as nails.” Despite the tough stretch, Guevara said she hasn’t lost faith in her squad. “If I focus on the win, I lose my focus,” Guevara said. “I have to stay in the

Women need to win defensive games Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

As Mid-American Conference West Division play begins for the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team, defensive challenges are ahead. The MAC West boasts four teams with a record better than .500 conference. The MAC East, on the other hand, is quite top heavy. Three MAC East schools have a combined for four conference wins. Though it is a small sample size, it appears the Chippewas will be playing in some defen-

sive contests during the last month of the regular season. In eight games against MAC East teams, the Chippewas scored an average of 66 points, while giving up an average of 62 points. Ohio University and the University of Akron, average more than 70 points per game each. CMU has scored more than 70 points against a MAC East team thee times, and have yet to score more than 70 against a school from its own division. Kent State, Miami of Ohio and Akron all give up an average of more than 65 points per game. In three games against MAC West opponents, CMU had a tough time getting the shots

process with our kids. Are we without weapons? Absolutely. Do we still have weapons? Absolutely. But it’s all in how we execute. We’re going to make mistakes, but we have to learn from them and then move on.” EMU will look to sophomore guard and last season’s freshman of the year Cha Sweeney to lead the charge. She is averaging team-highs in points (13.8) and assists (3.3). “They have a really dynamic guard in Cha Sweeney,” Guevara said. “She scores in a variety ways. They have kids who know how to put it in the hole.” The battle in the paint might be the deciding factor between CMU and EMU. Both teams are ranked second and third respectively in rebounding.

to fall. The Chippewas have scored an average of 52 points per game so far. The CMU women have faced two of the conference’s best defensive squads in Northern Illinois University and Western Michigan University. NIU allows a conference-low 55 points per game. The Chippewas scored 56 points against the Huskies, which is the lowest amount the Chippewas has scored during a win this season. CMU will need to hold onto the ball as they wrap up the season. The Chippewas have turned the ball over 44 times against MAC West opponents, which led to a minus-five turnover margin in those games. Eastern Michigan University and NIU will look to exploit this aspect of the game against the Chippewas during CMU’s next two games. EMU forces an average of 19.3 turnovers per game and boasts a plus-four turnover margin.

“I think it’s important to win every rebounding war that we are in,” Guevara said. “Our rebounding shows that we’re working to get them. That’s half the battle.” CMU sat senior guard Crystal Bradford due to an injury in Wednesday’s 6146 loss to Toledo, and her participation in Saturday’s game is doubtful. “She’s kind of day-to-day,” Guevara said. “It doesn’t appear to me like she’ll be playing on Saturday.” Guevara said that the team spent extra time shooting the ball in practice. The Chippewas confidence in themselves will be key in Bradford’s absence. “You have to believe that when you going into the war that you can win the battle.” Guevara said.

Searching for vengeance against Mid-American Conference rival Kent State University, the Central Michigan University gymnastics team heads to Ohio for a matchup with the Golden Flashes at 2 p.m. Sunday.

opponents as CMU: Northern Illinois University and Eastern Michigan University. KSU’s season-high team score was 195 against Western Michigan University. The Golden Flashes followed their performance scoring less than 194 last week. “With all of the work we put in this week, I am just ready to go in and kill it,” said CMU senior Becca Druien.

“It’s about us doing our job, not worrying about them.” The maroon and gold went from a 196.175 to lower than a 194 two weeks after the loss to NIU. KSU could give the Chippewas a run on the bars. KSU freshman powerhouse Rachel Stypinksi scored two 9.9s in her meet against Pittsburgh to open the Golden Flashes’ season.
