MPPD makes two arrests for transporting heroin Police say heroin use is increasing in Isabella County

By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

In what police are calling the biggest drug bust from a traffic stop in the history of the department, Mount Pleasant Police Department officers arrested two Mount Pleasant women attempting to transport 13 bindles of heroin and 12 bindles of another unidentified drug.

Officers stopped the women in their black Dodge Charger for having

illegally tinted windows and an improperly placed license plate. Officers identified the driver as Kristy Posthumus, 33, a federally-recognized Native American in the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Posthumus’ license was suspended and her vehicle was uninsured.

Driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor offense which requires officers to make an arrest.

Officers conducted a search of the vehicle and found close to a gram of heroin and three quarters of a gram of an unknown white substance hidden in a Mentos container. Each bindle is one sixteenth of a gram. This discovery allowed officers to search the passenger, Audrey Shipman, a 31-year-old.

Shipman was in possession of two knives, mace and a large collapsible baton, which she said she was carrying for protection.

Posthumus was arrested on three counts of possession with intent to deliver heroin, driving with a suspended license, and operating a vehicle without insurance. As a federally recognized Native American, Posthumus was arraigned in Tribal Court and will move through the Tribal Court system.

Under Tribal law, narcotics violations fall under Title 1.2036 Controlled Substances, Narcotics. She faces one year of incarceration and a fine of $5,000. w heroin | 2

During Central Michigan University’s last three Saturday home games, the men’s basketball team drew crowds of 4,041, 4,403 and 5,350 fans respectively, averaging 4,598 fans per game in that stretch.

This is a level of popularity the team hasn’t experienced in more than a decade.

The Chippewas are 19-5 overall, 9-4 in Mid-American Conference competition. The team occupies the firstplace spot in the MAC West division.

The feeling around campus is largely one of excitement and optimism.

Students are coming out to support the team more than in the past.

Judge dismisses Levitt v. Felton case

By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Attorney Todd Levitt’s case against Central Michigan University student Zachary Felton was dimissed Thursday in Isabella County Trial Court.

Judge Paul Chamberlain issued a written opinion concluding that

Felton’s parody Twitter account is protected free speech.

“The Supreme Court has held that certain statements are protected, even when provable false,” Chamberlain wrote. “In this case, (Felton’s) Twitter account cannot be reasonably interpreted as anything other than a parody account.”

Chamberlain pointed to the

language of the Tweets as a clear indication of satire and the account made multiple attempts to distinguish it as parody.

Levitt sued Felton in June 2014 after the two feuded on Twitter using their respective accounts. Felton’s account, titled Todd Levitt 2.0, posted tweets impersonating Levitt. The account also used Levitt’s logos and pictures.

Special ticket pricing for Saturday’s women’s and men’s basketball games are available to those who RSVP for Saturday night’s event, including $3 tickets to the women’s game at 1 p.m. and $6 tickets for the men’s game at 4:30.

Mount Pleasant attorney Gordon Bloem represented Felton since the case’s inception. Bloem said he’s happy the case is over.

Bloem said his client’s case was “solid from the get go.” Felton’s dense was aided by Grand Rapids attorney Jon Schrotenboer, who was added to the case in January. Felton’s family has an insurance policy that protects them from this type of litigation, Bloem said.

Schrotenboer joined the case so the policy could pay the legal fees.

Levitt does have a right to appeal.

Grawn Hall to undergo $10.8 million renovation

By Sydney Smith News Editor

To encourage students to spend more time in Grawn Hall, College of Business Administration Dean Charles Crespy proposed a $10.8 million renovation that was unanimously approved at the Board of Trustees meeting Thursday.

The renovations will add 6,600 square feet to the oldest building on Central Michigan University’s campus. Construction includes a public space for a collaboration area, expanded space on the first floor, integrating the first and second floors and re-orienting the entrance.

Corridors will be updated and fire suppression will be added.

A cafe, atrium space and quiet room for reading and studying will also be added.

The College of Business Administration has more than $900,000 in commitments for donations to use on the renovations, and hopes to raise $5 million. The university will match donations to the project dollar for dollar.

Plans for the renovation have been in discussion for about a year.

The changes will be done in three phases of construction each summer and are scheduled for completion in 2017.

Ross testifies to state Senate panel

By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Testifying before a Michigan Senate panel in the Charles V. Park Library, Central Michigan University President George Ross highlighted how achievements of faculty and students directly benefit the state.

The Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education selected CMU to host its first 2015 hearing on state funding for Michigan’s 15 public universities, also listening to testimony from Wayne State University and Michigan State University Extension. Ross appealed to panel members to consider the impact of Gov. Rick Snyder’s cuts to higher education funding, which puts a heavier burden on students and their families to pay for college.

“There are universities that serve a largely homegrown population and who transform Michigan youth into the leaders of tomorrow,” Ross said. “CMU is one of those. Ninetyfive percent of our students hail from this Great Lakes State. When w ross | 2

Board of Trustees approve action items Thursday

By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Members of the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees stressed a commitment to increase the number of Global Campus courses at their Feb. 19 meeting in the Bovee University Center.

Trustee Tricia Keith gave her report on the activities of the Academic and Student Affairs committee, where faculty communicated the challenges of increasing global campus course offerings.

“From a board perspective, we are proud of the national ranking that we have in our online programs and we want to ensure we are able to maintain that wonderful ranking,” Keith said.

Faculty members expressed concerns about producing online content at the committee meeting. She said accelerating the numbers of course offerings is important for the future of the university.

Board Chair William Kanine said he benefitted from information shared by presenters at the committee meeting and stressed the importance of maintaining CMU’s reputation as a top ranked online education provider.

Shipman was arrested on three counts of carrying a concealed weapon, and one count of possession of a dangerous weapon. Shipman, also a Native American, is not federally recognized, and will therefore move through the Isabella County Court.

Carrying a concealed weapon is a felony that carries a sentence of five years in prison and a $2,500 fine. Possession of a dangerous weapon is a felony with a sentence that varies based on the weapon and intent.

Shipman has been arrested several times before, most recently in 2012 for driving while

“Access and affordability are important.

University President George Ross and trustee Sarah Opperman stressed the importance of staying competitive with other universities who have adapted and improved CMU’s Global Campus model.

Opperman said CMU has been doing well competitively but is “starting to slip back” and is losing market shares.

“We have to recognize the pressures from other universities,” Ross said. “It’s about our students and preparing them. As we go forward, I will rally our leadership team on this campus.”

The board also passed several action items including a motion authorizing Ross to ratify and sign collective bargaining agreements with unions representing faculty members and the campus police department, as well as $1.7 million in upgrades to the steam generation system.

Board Chair William Kanine opened the meeting by welcoming newly-appointed trustee Rich Studley before Ross delivered his president’s report to board members. Ross highlighted several achievements of the university, including the continued construction on the $95 million Bioscience Building, the success of CMU’s

alternative breaks program and the strategic planning team reconvening to update metrics of the university’s strategic action plan.

“That plan outlines five priorities for the university,” Ross said. “Student success, to promote excellence in research and creative activity, to support quality faculty and staff, to build community partnerships and to uphold smart infrastructure stewardship. This is a time for momentum at CMU.” Ross addressed the board with optimism for the future of CMU, expressing a renewed “cohesiveness” among leadership at the university.

Promotions to tenure were given to 22 faculty members,

which will take effect in the fall 2015 semester.

Provost Michael Gealt reported quarterly figures for the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. CMU brought in $2.5 million in awards this quarter, consistent with the $2.5 million awarded in the previous quarter ending in September.

Vice President of Facilities Management Steve Lawrence reported that construction for the Lodgco Hotel project is on schedule to meet its August 2015 deadline.

Lawrence said the only change in construction is the removal of a proposed restaurant on the south end of the building due to bidding issues.

up for the cuts.

The panel was comprised of House Speaker Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, and Senators Peter MacGregor, Tonya Schuitman, Curtis Hertel Jr. and Judy Emmons.

“We firmly believe providing a quality affordable education is an important role that our public universities do,” Schuitman said. “The impact on this state is immeasurable.

Nationwide, the long-term trend has been to disinvest in our students and I think that is the wrong approach.”

She added this year’s budget

is uniquely difficult, as business tax credits for a road funding tax proposal have presented challenges.

State funding today accounts for 17 percent of the CMU operating budget. Ross said if the university operated on state funding alone, the money would run out in 62 days.

In his testimony, Ross lauded the university’s fiscal responsibility, stating CMU has maintained the lowest cumulative tuition increase in Michigan for the past five years.

Ross asked senators for equity in per-student funding,

where CMU ranks 10th among Michigan’s 15 public universities at $3,600 per student.

He said funding in the state ranges from $2,800 to $8,100 per student.

Ross introduced Delton native and College of Medicine student Barbara Buehler and Galesburg senior Kyle McPherson as examples of students at CMU who are making an impact in their home state through medicine and engineering.

He also pointed to a recently awarded $10 million grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to protect the Great

license suspended, possession of narcotics, assault and battery, disorderly conduct, malicious destruction of property, second degree retail fraud and disturbing the peace.

Officers impounded Posthumus’ vehicle and delivered the 12 bindles of an unidentified white substance to the Michigan State Police Crime Lab in Grayling. Troopers have ruled out cocaine and heroin as the possible substance. The unidentified white powder might be finely ground opiate pills, which is common among heroin users.

Browne said Posthumus will face an additional charge once the other substance is identified.

Lt. Mark Uribe of the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team said Isabella County is facing an increase in heroin use among teens and adults ranging from ages 17 to 30.

Uribe has been with the Michigan State Police for over 26 years, and has been in the narcotics division for 13 years.

“When heroin moves

in, so does a lot of other crime,” Uribe said. “You see an increase in breaking and entering, larcenies and other crimes. People need to fuel their drug addiction, and it gets expensive.”

Heroin is known as a “dirty opiate” because it can be mixed with other substances, Uribe said. Dealers mix in other substances which look like heroin, such as rat poison, in order to charge more based on the weight.

Uribe attributes the increase in heroin usage to the spike in prescribing of opiate pain killers by doctors, the price of heroin and the spread of gateway drugs.

“A lot of people start off using opiates such as Vicodin or Oxycotin,” Uribe said. “When they get addicted, they go to a dirty opiate which is cheaper to buy.”

The street price for heroin in Mount Pleasant is about $30 a bindle, Uribe said. An addict might use heroin 3 to 4 times a day. The amount an addict uses depends on their individual

tolerance and the potency of the heroin they are using.

Browne said the reason heroin leads to so many overdoses is that it is nearly impossible for a user to determine the purity of the drug.

“It’s like drinking alcohol that you don’t know the proof of,” Browne said. “You have no way to know how powerful it is, which is why so many people overdose and die.”

“Right now we have the perfect facility for a 19th century education,” Crespy said. “We would like students to spend more time in the college.”

More than 4,000 business students attend classes in Grawn Hall every year. Crespy said renovations will make the building architecturally consistent, more inviting for recruitment purposes and more student-friendly, as business students often work in groups.

Elwell senior Jennie Wernick said the changes are necessary. As a frequent visitor of Grawn Hall, Wernick often sits in a room between classes with three computers, several tables and a P.O.D. Express food area.

“We need more than just one room,” she said. “This room fills up really fast, and there are only three computers. An auditorium would be nice for business presentations.”

Because of traffic in the lounge area, Crespy often sees students lining the floors of the hallways between classes.

“The facilities we have right now are not appropriate for what we have in mind for a quality education,” he said. “The more time students spend in Grawn Hall, the better their resumes.”

The announcement was made at the Board of Trustees’ Student Liaison Committee meeting on the third floor of the Bovee University Center.

The CPF would go towards assisting extracurricular activities, such as the Leadership Institute and the Volunteer Center, along with RSO sponsored events. “(SGA) asked for more funding and the Budget Priorities Committee gave a recommendation that they are going to give to the president and his cabinet,” Mahone said.

“At that time they will review everything and see how to go about giving back to (the fund).”

Three car collision on Mission Street Officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department responded to a three-car accident on Mission Street just north of East Bluegrass Road Thursday afternoon.

The driver of a green Jeep Patriot heading north on Mission Street drifted into a blue Ford Focus also heading north in the adjacent lane, damaging the driver’s side mirror. The driver of the Patriot then over-compensated for the impact and swerved into oncoming traffic, striking a south-bound red Chevy Malibu in a head-on collision.

The passenger in the Malibu was taken to McLaren-Central Michigan to be treated for injuries to the lower body.

Officers arrested the driver of the Jeep Patriot for driving on an expired license and driving without insurance.

Courtney Bonneau will be the first woman in her family to enlist in the military.

The Taylor freshman has a goal to rise to the top of the ranks in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps.

“I want to become the best officer cadet at Central Michigan University,” Bonneau said. “I want to be known. My goal for ROTC is to better myself in any way possible. I want the program to be bettered. It’s already good, but I want to achieve more.”

The university’s ROTC program is 68 percent men and 32 percent women. Kennedy Stone remembers the first day of her ROTC class, when all of the women in her class were together, huddled in a circle.

“Initially, it’s a shock,” said the Detroit freshman. “It’s fine after that and everyone opens up. You don’t feel like you’re the only girl there. They include you.”

Coming from a military family, Stone said she enjoys the physical training portion of her ROTC class with the entire battalion because she gets the chance to meet people from different grades. She described the community as open and welcoming.

Professor Chair in the Leadership Training Course Greg Thayer said women in ROTC have just as many opportunities as men.

“The thing that’s really cool about the Army is that there is no ceiling for a woman,” Thayer said.

Unlike Stone, military does not run in Erika Havenaar’s family. She decided to take ROTC classes after being introduced to the program with a game of paintball at her freshman orientation.

“Overall, ROTC is beneficial,” said the Plainwell junior. “You have to keep a certain GPA and certain standards. It keeps you in shape and mentally focused on school.”

After three years of ROTC classes at CMU, Havenaar serves as a specialist in the National Guard.

Havenaar plans to complete the Officer Training School to become an officer—the only other way to become an officer.

“You used to think of a woman in the military as not really a woman—or a tomboy,” Havenaar said. “Now it’s more of a positive thing and it’s empowering women all around the country to join the military.”

There are still branches of the military that don’t accept women.

“I want to be known. My goal for ROTC is to better myself in any way possible. I want the program to be bettered. It’s already good, but I want to achieve more.”

Courtney Bonneau, Taylor freshman Positions that didn’t allow women in the past—like combat, infantry, ranger school and artillery—are slowly starting to accept women, Havenaar said. Branches like special warfare in the Navy are still male exclusive.

“Its kind of like a trial period,” Havenaar explained. “There are still a lot of things women aren’t allowed to do, but we are slowly breaking the barriers down.”

In ROTC, women adhere to different standards than men when it comes to physical training. They don’t have do to as much as their male classmates.

“There are women that can pass the male standards,” Havenaar said. “Those are the women that should be at the ranger school and infantry. Physically, as a woman, there are a lot of standards we couldn’t meet that males could.”

Graduate student Tamara Hullender is studying identity development in female student veterans and is a veteran herself. She graduated from basic training as an honor graduate and served for four years beginning in 1983, when women accounted for about ten percent of the total Army.

“We feel like we have to do more to feel like we are good enough,” Hullender said.

Saginaw Valley State University sophomore Kaitllyn Kapka is a guest student at CMU because there is no ROTC at her school.

She enlisted in the guard and has plans to join the Governor’s Own Band as an army musician, playing the euphonium.

“ROTC is a great program and women shouldn’t be afraid to come in here. We’re all treated fairly,” Kapka said.

Three candidates vying to be the next dean of the College of Communications and Fine Arts will be interviewed starting Monday, Feb. 23.

The search committee, led by Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, dean of the College of Education and Human Services, interviewed seven semi-finalists over Skype last week then invited candidates to come to campus.

“These were the four that rose to the top,” Pehrsson said. “They were well-prepared, they were professional, they were very knowledgeable about CMU, they understood the College of Communication and Fine Arts and it was pretty clear these were the strongest candidates.”

Pehrsson said she is excited to hear what the university community thinks of the candidates.

The candidates will hold open forums in Chamichian Hall in the Music Building.

“I encourage as many people to attend as possible because to be able to interact with a potential dean of a really great college is very important,” Pehrsson said.

The forums will allow people to ask informative questions and see how the candidates respond.

The week after the interviews, the search committee will review all information, including feedback from individuals who attend the forums, then make a recommendation to Provost Micheal Gealt.

Pehrsson said the committee is looking for someone who can help build the college’s strengths and has many different skills. She said she always looks for someone who cares about the community and student learning.

The three finalists are Steven Block, Department of Music chair at the University of New Mexico, Janet Hethorn, director of the Delaware Design Institute at the University of Delaware and Shelly Hinck, interim dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts at CMU. Steven Block Block became the chair of the Department of Music at the UNM in 1999.

He has a PhD in Composition and Theory from the University of Steven Block Pittsburgh. Prior to his candidacy, he was the Composition-Theory chair from 1991 until 1999 according to his curriculum vitae.

Block will visit campus Monday and Tuesday. His forum will take place from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday.

Janet Hethorn Hethorn became the director of the Delaware Design Institute in 2009.

She was also the chair of the Janet Hethorn Department of Art at the University of Delaware from 2008 until 2013. She has a PhD in design with supporting areas in studio arts and art history from the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

Hethorn will visit campus Wednesday and Thursday with a forum held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Shelly Hinck Hinck became the interim dean of CCFA at CMU in August 2014 after the resignation of Salma Ghanem. Before her candidacy, Shelly Hinck she was the associate dean of CCFA starting in 2010 and has been at CMU since 1988. She has a PhD from the University of Kansas.

Hinck will be interviewed Thursday and Friday and will have a forum 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Student PARKING

NOT A

PROBLEM T

Additional parking too costly, not a realistic option for CMU he Student Government Association created an online petition to bring parking

issues to the attention of Central Michigan University administration.

Although some students have expressed concerns about parking for years, parking is not likely to change at this university. It shouldn’t. Students’ time and effort would be better spent on other, more attainable goals.

According to Parking Services, there are 11,301 parking spaces on campus, giving the university a better space-tostudent ratio than Eastern Michigan University. Only 7,655 parking permits were purchased as of September 2014.

More than 200 parking spots were added to university lots in 2013 and 22 were added in 2014.

University President George Ross has expressed that there are plenty of parking spaces for students, but is willing to hear student concerns in the form of SGA’s petition.

“With over 11,000 parking spaces

and the utilization of those spaces, there’s lot of parking,” Ross said in an interview following the Board of Trustees meeting Thursday. “What there isn’t is a lot of parking in front of the building that your class is in. I’ll wait to see the petition.”

CMU has done its part to make parking as simple as possible for students. Still, those unhappy with the situation have cited limited parking as the cause for being late to class. The addition of more spaces or construction of a parking structure have been suggested as solutions.

A parking structure is an enormous, expensive undertaking. To construct one similar to those on Michigan State University’s campus would cost the university millions of dollars and take years to build.

Public should not take pleasure in Williams’ humiliation Brian Williams lied.

After covering wars and news events across the world, earning respect and credibility along the way, he ended up as a creator of fiction, not journalism.

Williams dedicated his life to providing necessary information to the public, and we should thank him for that. As a human being, it’s tough to work for the betterment of mankind, which largely only thinks about itself.

Williams’ decision to serve as a journalist was a noble cause that does not exempt him from basic morals, but should garner him respect the as he endures this fall from grace.

He simply got carried away. Embellishing one small fact after another during his storied career, Williams began rolling a snowball down a hill, and has a glacier of falsehoods to deal with.

He did not fabricate stories unapologetically without care for the harm they could cause. He had no reason to lie to advance his career.

There was no malice.

Williams simply exaggerated, offending a lot of people in the process.

Would those same people even attempt to do what Williams has done? Would they put themselves in front of a faceless public and accept all the criticism that comes with it?

Resoundingly, the answer is no.

Viewers should consider the broader implications of these recent events, and put trust where it is deserved.

Michigan is experiencing a decline in the number of high school graduates that mirrors trends seen nationwide.

The Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education reported that the population of high school graduates in the state will drop 29 percent from 124,000 in the 2007-08 year to 86,000 by the 2027-28 academic year.

Rather than petition the university for an ill conceived goal, students should spend their time and effort on more relevant issues that have a greater chance of being recognized.

In its Wednesday committee meeting with members of the CMU Board of Trustees, SGA asked for more programming funds to account for the effects of inflation on its purchasing power.

Students elect SGA members to represent their needs while in school.

Small initiatives like extending the Bovee University Center hours and introducing a legal clinic for students are representative of those needs.

Parking on campus isn’t perfect. Petitioning is an option, but isn’t arriving early an option, too?

Counterpoint

​Everyone makes mistakes, but lies are intentional

Everyone has that special story that seems too unbelievable to possibly be true.

It forces us to either spend far too much time trying to prove what we said is true or give up and live content, knowing at least we know what really happened.

It’s like all those chance meeting stories you hear about where Bill Murray walks up to your table, eats a handful of your fries, says “no one will ever believe you” and then walks away.

Try as you might, unless someone caught it on camera, no one will believe a comedy legend ate your fries and then just walked away.

It doesn’t matter whether innocent stories like that are true or not when you’re just the average person sharing the story and a beer

When you hold a position that relies on credibility, however, having any lack of truth in what you say can damage not just your career but your livelihood as a whole.

With the controversy surrounding NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams’ lapse of honesty behind several anecdotes about his time covering the Iraq invasion, among other things, credibility in the media has once again been severely damaged and will likely suffer for many years to come.

Some might say Williams was just embellishing the truth; it’s not a big deal and we should just move on.

There’s a big difference between embellishing the truth and telling an outright lie.

When you embellish, little things here and there might get spiced up with colorful language and zesty verbiage, but the truth remains the same.

When you tell a story about something that happened to someone else but change that someone to yourself, the story becomes a lie.

Putting yourself in the experiences of another person for your own gain is plagiarism of the human condition. Of all people, Williams should have known better.

ERPsim team competitors being sought after by company recruiters

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

After spending three days a week participating in simulation training for the third annual Enterprise Resource Planning Simulation Invitational Competition, Martin Porea felt his team was prepared.

The Macomb graduate student was part of the PricewaterhouseCoopers team. After each practice, the team spent hours looking at data and seeing what sold and discovering trends. The preparation was time consuming, but worth it, he said.

“You don’t get this kind of experience in the classroom. We felt prepared, but you never know what’s going to happen,” Porea said. “You come in with a plan and two days later, your plan goes out the window because the market changes.”

The ERPsim is a simulation game. Twenty teams managed their own companies in a simulated competitive market in McGurick Arena Thursday.

This year was a Logistics Dairy Game where six dairy products had to be sold in three regions. The competition hosted two games with the team that accumulated the most Net Profit dollars being the winner.

This year, Auto-Owners won ranked first place, General Motors 1 second place and Consumers Energy 2 third place in Server GM3. In Server GM7, Deloitte 2 ranked first place, Tata Consultancy 2 second place and Rockwell Collins 1 third place.

Director of the Systems, Applications and Products University Alliance Program Frank Andrea knows of no other school in Michigan involved in the SAP University Alliance commu-

nity. There are over 2,000 programs worldwide in the competition where students are united with a company mentor and competing for scholarships and awards.

“I think it’s good for the students because this is essentially what we do during any of our projects,” Rockwell Collins Team 1 mentor Dan Hellerstedt said. “You’re under a time crunch, you’ve got a lot of stress on you and have to work with a lot of people.”

The event hosted a panel discussion featuring HarleyDavidson, 3M, GM, Consumers Energy, IAC and Central Michigan University.

“Above all other things, it is the knowledge that the students who have worked hard in this event will be sought after by company recruiters,” Director of the SAP University Alliance Program Frank Andera said. “It is truly the smile and pride a student

Sigma Chi face-off with Sigma Pi builds excitment in Greek Life

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

Sigma Chi fraternity has sold out their “Sigma Freeze” philanthrophy event at 7 p.m. Feb. 21 in the Mount Pleasant Ice Arena.

Sigma Chi takes on “rival” fraternity Sigma Pi in a fully-padded hockey game for charity, Sigma Chi Philanthropy Chair Ryan Holder said.

“Sigma Pi is the hot name on campus,” the Woodhaven sophomore said. “They have the new house. They have a really good chapter. It will be a good head-to-head of one prestigious fraternity against another prestigious fraternity.”

Proceeds from Sigma Freeze will go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute—Sigma Chi’s frequented partner charity.

Holder said events like

Sigma Freeze help breakdown Greek stereotypes.

“We want to get away from the idea that all Greek students just party,” Holder said.

Phi Sigma Sigma member Ryann Patton said she is excited for the event.

“I don’t think anyone has ever done a philanthropy event like this before, so it’s breaking new ground,” said, the Bellevile sophomore. “I think it shows Greek unity. Every sorority is talking about it and everyone is excited to go. I think there’s going to be a huge turnout.”

Sorority Phi Sigma Sigma raised $1,700 at its annual ¨Mr. Phi Significant¨ pageant Wednesday, in the Bovee University Center Auditorium donating to two charities.

Twelve fraternity members competed for the title of Mr. Phi Significant in three contests that showcased togas, talent and a question-and-answer session. A panel of judges gave scores of up to 10 while the audience voted by making donations to named jars: $1 equaled one point.

Philanthropy chair Emma Hardey said funds will be donated to organizations that purchase school supplies for children. The program aims

“We were looking for personality, humor, (and) effort,” Irwin said. “Just guys that were willing to have fun with it.”

Dearborn Heights sophomore Francis Rosales said he liked being a contestant in the pageant because it gave him a chance to have fun for a good cause. Some talents included lip syncing, dancing and rapping.

“The raps they did were really good, especially the one where they researched the background of Phi Sig and put that into their rap,” Irwin said.

They are both organizations that help kids in need.”

Men’s basketball seeks fifth consecutive MAC win for first time since ‘03

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

The last time the Ball State University men’s basketball team won a game was Jan. 10 against Central Michigan University.

The Cardinals were 2-0 and alone at the top of the Mid-American Conference West Division standings.

Since Jan. 10, Ball State is 0-11 with an average losing margin of 8.91 points per game. The Chippewas are 8-3 since losing to Ball State and are tied for first

place overall in the MAC. Ball State comes to McGuirk Arena at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.

The Chippewas will attempt to claim their fifth straight MAC win for the first time since the 2002-03 season.

“We feel like we let one get away (at Ball State),” said senior guard Austin Keel. “But they’ve got to come to McGuirk, where we’re (14-1), so it should be a good game and hopefully we’ll come out on top.”

CMU has already broken a program record with 14 home wins this season with the only loss coming to

Bowling Green by two points in overtime.

While CMU’s 18-point loss to Ball State was its largest loss of the season, Head Coach Keno Davis said he doesn’t believe Saturday’s game is a revenge game for his team.

“I don’t really feel that way,” Davis said. “When you get upset, you feel like there might be a revenge game. I didn’t think that was an upset, I thought they were the better team that day. It’s our goal to be the better team when we play them on Saturday.”

CMU led the Cardinals in the first meeting 52-51 before a 7:08 Chippewa drought without a field goal.

Ball State ended the game on a 32-13 run.

Five of Ball State’s nine players scored in double digits, including Zavier Turner’s team-high of 21 points. The 6-8, 228-pound Matt Kamieniecki had 10 rebounds against CMU, but has missed the past four games with a back injury.

Keel said the team has grown since the Jan. 10 meeting. Even as the only

been doing so well and it’s nice to see so much school spirit.”

Sophomore Tricia Dwyer said she has seen a drastic change in how the Chippewas are followed, both in person and on the Internet.

“Last year I didn’t really hear negative or positive (opinions) about the team,” said Dwyer of Saginaw. “This year they’ve been blowing up on social media and everyone’s freaking out about how good the team is.”

The Chippewas say they are thankful for the students’ support this season.

“We expect to have their energy behind us the whole time,” junior forward John Simons

said. “It makes it that much more fun to play in. It makes it easier to go on a run.”

Davis said strong support from the campus and local fans helped the Chippewas open the season with 12 consecutive home wins.

The feeling of excitement has spread outside of campus. Bennett Raymond is a 16-year-old Mount Pleasant High School student who has followed the team through tough times.

“I love how (CMU is) playing right now,” Raymond said. “I like how (the Chippewas) shoot threes. “(The atmosphere) is a lot better than it has been the past couple of years.”

Chippewas, Rockets battle for firt place in West Division

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

With five games left to play in the men’s basketball MidAmerican Conference regular season, Central Michigan University and Toledo University sit atop the MAC West standings, tied at 9-4.

The Chippewas control their own destiny in the MAC West and picking up a top four seed for March’s MAC Tournament, but junior forward John Simons said the team still checks in on conference opponents.

“As much as we try not to look ahead, as much as we try not to watch the scores, we know,” Simons said. “We also know that we also have to go take care of business by ourselves. The rest will control itself.”

Head Coach Keno Davis isn’t counting out the rest of the MAC West, including a Western Michigan team that lurks two games out of first place.

“It might come down to us and Toledo,” Davis said. “It wouldn’t surprise me if those teams that are third or fourth

where the Chippewas needed a late basket to hold on to beat the 10-14 (4-9 MAC) Huskies.

“We’ve got to play against every team like it’s the championship game,” Rayson said. “We can’t take anyone lightly.”

A win for CMU Saturday would give the Chippewas five straight MAC wins for the first time since March 2003. It would also be the first time CMU has a win against every MAC West team in a single season since 2009-2010.

As team chases greatness, atmosphere is top-notch

continued from 1 a lot of fun.”

Some students have already made that commitment.

“I’ve gone to the last four home games and I’ve seen the crowd grow,” said sophomore Jacob Soehlke, of Lagrange Park, Ill. “The first game I went to, they didn’t even give away all of the T-shirts. Now you have to show up an hour early to get one.”

Tim Folmar, a current student and former member of the CMU basketball band, now called the “Sixth Man Band.”

He remembers the Chippewas’ 10-21 overall finish in 2011.

“It’s been explosive watching how everything is going on from the fans to the band to the team itself,” said the Cadillac graduate student. Everyone seems to be reaching that next level and pushing and driving for it.”

This men’s basketball team’s performance has transformed Mount Pleasant into a town that pays attention to what is happening on the hardwood.

“It’s exciting to see that more people have pride,” said junior Ali Fonz of Bay City. “We have

senior on the team, Keel said he is surprised at how fast the team’s growth has materialized into wins.

“There’s definitely a little more expectation just because for the most part we’re favored to win these games,” Keel said. “You still have got to go out there and put the ball in the hoop. I knew that we were building something strong and I’m enjoying every minute of it.”

Sophomore Braylon Rayson scored 23 points in Wednesday’s 68-66 win over Northern Illinois,

make a run.”

While winning the MAC West would be an honor for the Chippewas after finishing in fifth place the past three seasons, earning a higher seed for the tournament would be a bigger achievement.

The top two seeds receive a bye to the semi-final while the three and four seeds get a first-round bye. Seeds five through eight host seeds nine through 12 in the first round of the tournament.

Winning the division won’t guarantee the Chippewas a top four seed.

“I think the idea now is not only to take it game by game, but also, what seed can we be?” Davis said. “The better seed you have, the better position you put yourself in going into the conference tournament.”

CMU, Toledo, Bowling Green and Kent State are tied for the best record in the MAC with Akron sitting one game back. CMU and Toledo will play in the second-to-last game of the regular season March 3 at McGuirk Arena.

Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

Chippewas fans expect a MAC Tournament run next month.

An always-hopeful Davis said the Chippewas are not even close to reaching their full potential this season.

The Chippewas are mainly healthy, confident and focused. These are the key ingredients needed to make conference championship stew.

These are all pieces of a puzzle that Davis has assembled in an attempt to bring the Chippewas back to the NCAA Tournament.

He had high hopes for the on-the-court achievements of this year’s team, which he says is a constant work in progress.

But as the Chippewas work to reach their full potential, the way this campus has responded to this team’s success is more than Davis, or anyone else could have hoped for.

Struggling women host Broncos in rematch at McGuirk Arena Saturday

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Attempting to snap a four-game losing streak, the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team hosts rival Western Michigan University on Saturday.

The four-game skid is the longest Mid-American Conference losing streak the Chippewas have had since they lost seven straight in 2007.

WMU defeated CMU, 6964 in Kalamazoo on Feb. 7.

“We got better, but we still lost,” Head Coach Sue Guevara said. “I talk to the team about keeping their heads up and believing in the process.

We have to have the same type of effort, but better execution.”

The Chippewas have lacked consistency from the very beginning of the season.

“We’ve got one or two guns that are working and the other ones are misfiring,” Guevara said. “When we can get maybe four out of five of our guns hitting, then it’ll come together for us.”

CMU has had seven different players, including four freshmen, score more than 10 points during the losing streak.

“Our freshmen are getting a lot of minutes,”

“We got better, but we still lost.

the past three, with soreness and swelling in her knee. Her return remains uncertain according to Head Coach Sue Guevara. In the games that Bradford has missed this season, CMU is 0-4, losing by an average of 11.5 points per game.

With Bradford on the sideline, the Chippewas are not only losing the top scorer and rebounder in the MAC, but also the chance at a good seed in the conference tournament.

The Chippewas have seen great success in front

of their hometown fans in recent years. However, CMU has not been as successful during the 2014-15 campaign. The Chippewas are 6-5 at home this season and have lost three of their last four after going undefeated at McGurik in 2013-14.

Despite the Chippewas recent struggles at home this year, CMU beat WMU at McGuirk. CMU has won the last six matchups at home against the Broncos by a margin of 10.8 points per game.

CMU’s younger players have shown signs of im-

provement.

Freshmen Cassandra Breen and Swary have found some rhythm in the last couple of contests. Breen has been able to find the range shooting 5-for-11 from the 3-point line over the past two games after not connecting on a long range shot since Jan. 3.

Swary came up big for the Chippewas in their last game against Ball State as she scored a career-high 17 points and hit five 3-pointers. Swary had only nine points on the year.

Gymnastics hosts Bowling Green in final home meet of season

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Coming off a season-high team score last week, the Central Michigan University gymnastics team will attempt to match the consistency of Bowling Green State University when it hosts the Falcons at 1 p.m.

Sunday.

BGSU has scored 195 or higher in each of its last three meets. CMU went from 196 to 194 before posting last week’s mark of 196.4.

Sunday’s meet will also serve as the annual Pink Meet for the Chippewas as they attempt to raise breast cancer awareness.

“We take that very seriously. It is a women’s health issue and one of my past gymnasts is a breast cancer survivor,” Head Coach

UP NEXT CMU (17-3, 3-1) @ BGSU (5-5, 1-2) When: Sunday Time: 1 p.m.

Where: McGuirk Arena

Jerry Reighard said. “It hits home for us. We are very appreciative of everything that The Cancer Research Center does.”

Most recently, the Chippewas gained a victory against Mid-American Conference rival Kent State University.

Although, CMU has struggled at home this season, the Chippewas are still in contention for their sixth consecutive MAC Championship.

Abbie Robinson | Staff Photographer Colorado junior Karlee Teet salutes after her dismount during a meet against Northern Illinois on Feb. 6 in McGuirk Arena.

“We need to block out the external things,” Reighard said. “There’s a different type of pressure at home with all the friendly eyes.”

The Falcons bring something to the mat that the Chippewas have yet to see this season.

BGSU’s sophomore Alyssa Nocella a former First

Team All-MAC selection, scored a 9.75 on bars, 9.825 on beam and 9.85 on floor in the Falcons’ last meet.

In last week’s win over Kent State, Reighard imple-

mented a new technique to keep the gymnasts in the game and in their own bubble by nailing a nail into a board for every time they nailed a routine.

Baseball hoping to build on early season success against Stetson

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

As temperatures in Mount Pleasant hang below freezing, the Central Michigan University baseball team will head to the Sunshine State this weekend.

The Chippewas will take on Stetson at 6:30 p.m. on Friday before a doubleheader at noon and 3 p.m. Saturday in DeLand, Fla. Head Coach Steve Jaksa said the team’s defense in their first four games is what impressed him most.

“Every game was close. Our defense was pretty solid. That has to be our staple. We have to pitch well and play that

defense,“ Jaksa said.

Sophomore pitcher from Lake Orion Nick Deeg will get the start on Friday for CMU. Junior pitcher from Plainfield, Ill. Sean Renzi will start game one of the doubleheader Saturday and sophomore pitcher from Oregon, Ohio Jordan Grosjean will get the ball in game two. Freshman pitcher from Jenison, Pat Leatherman, will start for CMU on Sunday.

“We are not going to stray,” Jaksa said. “Those guys pitched the ball well. We fully expect them to continue to pitch well.”

Senior outfielders Garrett Russini and Patrick Mazelka are the leaders offensively for

N E W

Stetson.

Sophomore Mitchell Jordan returns as Stetson’s only pitcher Nick Deeg from last season with at least seven starts. He posted a 3-8 record with a 5.64 earned run average last season.

Stetson finished 26-34 last season losing 2-1 in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship game to Kennesaw State University.

CMU junior outfielder from Novi, Logan Regnier, the reigning MAC West Player of the Week, led the Chippe-

“Our expectations this weekend are simple and that’s keeping the momentum we built the first weekend going into the next one.”

Pat Mackenzie, senior infielder addressed that. “ Senior from Canada Tim Black, the reigning MAC West Pitcher of the Week, appeared in two games against FGCU earning the save in Friday’s opener and throwing three scoreless innings in CMU’s 12-inning win Saturday.

CMU starters combined for 23.2 innings pitched last week-

end and struck out 13 batters.

Senior infielder from Royal Oak, Pat Mackenzie, said keeping things simple will be key in having success against Stetson.

“Our expectations this weekend are simple and that’s keeping the momentum we built the first weekend going into the next one,” Mackenzie said.

was last weekend with three triples and six runs batted in last weekend against Florida Gulf Coast.

“We just have to keep things rolling and keep doing what we’re doing,” Regnier said. “That’s all I would expect and hope we do this weekend.”

Jaksa said the team’s hitting approach in certain counts needs to improve while taking advantage the opposing pitching staff more often.

“There was a part of our game I thought we didn’t exploit FGCU well enough whether we weren’t comfortable or didn’t understand the expectations,” Jaksa said. “We
