omen's contributions to Central Michigan University are immense and recognized as an important asset. When it comes to faculty pay, the divide between male and female professos is clear. Out of the Top 50 highest-paid faculty members, only five are women. Out of all full professors, only 28.9 percent are female.

Administrators recognize the problem and they say they are working to adress the problem.

in a house fire at the corner of University and Wisconsin streets, Friday morning.

Firefighters from the Mount Pleasant Fire Department were called to a burning house at 404 S. University St. around 11:30 a.m.

Fire Chief Greg Walterhouse said one firefighter sustained a cut on his finger from debris, and was treated at the scene.

“The fire started somewhere in the back,” Walterhouse said.

“Right now we have no idea what caused it.”

Walterhouse said he expected more information to be available later in the day, and a written report next week.

The owner of the home Geoff Quick, an instructor at Central Michigan University’s Global Campus, arrived on the scene around 12:30 p.m. He said he was unaware of the cause of the fire.

“I have no idea what happened,” Quick said. “It looks like it started in the back.

I do have a car in there. I’m just glad the fire department got here so quick.”

From his back porch, Mount Pleasant senior Billy Myler observed firefighters spraying water into a garage connected to the back of the house just East of his home at 407 S. Main St. “It looked like their garage caught on fire,” Myler said.

“There is a car in there. It was definitely the garage that caught fire first.”

MPFD said it will have its report prepared Monday.

CAUSE OF WMU STUDENT DEATH UNKNOWN A Western Michigan University

student was found dead in her campus residence Thursday.

Alyssa Olafson, a 19-yearold Allendale freshman, was found unresponsive at 1:21 a.m. in her room by her Eicher Hall roommates, according to published reports.

Kalamazoo Public Safety officials tried to revive Olafson, but were unsuccessful.

The cause of death remains unknown, although WMU officials said a pre-existing medical condition might have led to her death. An autopsy was performed Thursday morning, but the results are still pending.

Olafson was in her first year at WMU, studying pre-health and human services while making the Dean’s List. She is survived by her parents and two siblings.

She graduated from Allendale High School in 2013.

Same-sex marriage in Michigan left in legal limbo after weekend court orders

By John Irwin Senior Reporter

When Brighton senior William Joseph learned of Friday’s court ruling finding Michigan’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, it came as a welcomed surprise.

“The decision makes sense,” Joseph said. “If you look at what’s happened in other states over the past several months, it’s where the country is headed.”

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman found Michigan’s ban on same-sex marriage, approved by voters in 2004, unconstitutional. It violates the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause he stated.

“In attempting to define this case as a challenge to ‘the will of the people,’ state defendants lost sight of what this case is truly about: people,” Friedman wrote in his ruling. “No court record of this proceeding could ever fully convey the personal sacrifice of these two plaintiffs who seek to ensure that the state may no longer impair the rights of their children and the thousands of others now being raised by same-sex couples.”

Following the order, Attorney General Bill Schuette filed an emer-

gency request for a stay in court.

The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay on Saturday, effective through Wednesday, meaning same-sex marriages are put on hold at least until then.

“In 2004, the citizens of Michigan recognized that diversity in parenting is best for kids and families because moms and dads are not interchangeable,” Schuette said in a statement.

“Michigan voters enshrined that decision in our state constitution, and their will should stand and be respected.”

However, about 100 same-sex couples married in Michigan between Friedman’s order and the circuit court’s stay ruling. It is unclear if the state will recognize those marriages.

The issue of same-sex marriage is likely to stay at the forefront of state politics over the coming days and weeks as the case moves through court and the 2014 elections.

Joseph, a political science student, said he thinks the issue is likely to remain a “hot topic” this year. He said the legislation might give Democrats an advantage over Republicans in November. w MARRIAGE | 2A

Jump Rhythm Jazz Project leads community dance class, inspires students

By Kate Woodruff Staff Reporter

As four members of the dance company Jump Rhythm Jazz Project began to shout, jump and move around the dance floor, it was clear their dance class would be unlike any other.

The community dance class, open to both Central Michigan University students and community members

Saturday morning, was created to reach out to those interested in learning from this very knowledgeable and passionate group.

‘Boy Wonder’ Andraka to speak to campus about young success

By Kelsey Smith Staff Reporter

Andraya Croft | Staff Photographer Peter Hammer, center, from the Chicago Jump Rhythm Jazz Project teach students and locals dance moves in the Rose Center on Saturday.

JAZZ | CONTINUED FROM 1A and others.

“Challenge yourself to make a mistake,” Batta said.

“Worst case scenario, you have an awesome solo – just make the mistake with conviction and energy.”

The first half of the class focused on understanding the rhythm and beat behind each movement. Music was not added until halfway through the class.

From young children to elderly community residents, the company members had everyone on their feet and moving. As the class progressed, the energy increased as participants learned basic steps and movements, which led to a dance face-off.

“I danced in high school, so today I’m hoping to learn a lot while also getting a good workout,” said Evart freshman Lydia Wetters before the show. “I haven’t done jazz in a long time, so I’m looking forward to what this class has to offer.”

Jump Rhythm company apprentice, Eva Carpenter, shared her involvement

It is difficult for anyone to say they found a way to detect the early stages of cancer at the age of 15 – anyone except for Jack Andraka.

The Central Michigan University Speaker Series is hosting a presentation by “Boy Wonder” Andraka at 7 p.m. on March 31, featuring his accomplishments in cancer screening at Plachta Auditorium.

Most high school students at the age of 15 are worried about friends, dances, getting acne and drama.

Not Andraka.

Hardly old enough to drive, Andraka created a cancerscreening method that has been applauded by expert scientists and cancer researchers around the globe.

“Jack is a leader we are bringing to campus that is on his way up to help our society transform,” said Eric Buschlen,

assistant professor in Educational Leadership. “He is a great role model.”

After the loss of a close family member battling pancreatic cancer, Andraka set out to invent a cheap, rapid test to screen the early stages of cancer. He found the lack of quick and inexpensive cancer detection contributed to the poor survival rates among patients.

“The more I learn about this young man, the more I believe he is the next big thing, “ Buschlen said. “With the things he has done at his young age, he has the ability to make worldchanging innovations.”

Andraka created an inexpensive and sensitive dipsticklike sensor for early detection of pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancers. His screening tests take less than five minutes and cost only pennies – a huge change in the way cancer is detected and researched.

His diagnostic method is more than 90 percent accurate

in detecting pancreatic cancer’s biomarker protein. Andraka was given the Gordon E. Moore Award – a $75,000 prize for completing the most innovative project that could have an impact on the world – as well as the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award, an honor given by the Smithsonian Institution, after competing with 1,500 young scientists across 70 countries.

“He touches so many different academic areas,” Buschlen said. “Biology, entrepreneurship and education areas could learn a lot from him.”

Being First Lady Michelle Obama’s guest at the State of the Union and named Champion of Change by President Barack Obama are only a couple of Andraka’s greatest accomplishments. He and his cancer-detecting method have won handfuls of awards, competitions and recognition across the globe. studentlife@cm-life.com

“I got involved with Jump Rhythm Jazz Project when I took the summer intensive program in 2012 and I loved it,” Carpenter said. “What I love about being a part of these classes is that I get to connect with complete strangers and the energy in the room is amazing.”

The hard work and dedication of the company members did not go unnoticed by participants, including community member Elizabeth Klak.

“I go to Off-Broadway Performing Arts Studio, so that’s how I heard about this class today,” Klak said.

“It’s really interesting to see the two very different sides of dance. There’s the very technical and structured side of dance and then there’s the fun and carefree side, which this class definitely had.”

MARRIAGE | CONTINUED FROM 1A “The fact that the attorney general appealed it wasn’t a surprise,” Joseph said. “He’s a Republican, we’ve got a Republican governor, a Republican Legislature. The Republican Party, obviously, hasn’t made equality one of its goals.”

It would not be the first time same-sex marriage played a large role in an election year.

In 2004, 58 percent of Michigan voters approved the amendment to the state’s constitution currently in question, which defines marriage as between “one man and one woman.”

Since then, however, voters’ attitudes on same-sex marriage appear to have shifted significantly.

A survey released earlier this month by Michigan State University, conducted more than eight weeks ending on Feb. 10, found that 54 percent of Michiganders support “the right of gay and lesbian couples to be legally married,” compared to 36 percent who are opposed. The poll was conducted via landline and cell

phone to 1,008 respondents statewide and has a margin of error of 3.1 percent.

Gov. Rick Snyder’s office indicated it intends to continue enforcing the state constitution’s 2004 amendment.

“Michigan’s statute and our state’s Constitution are very clear on this matter,” Snyder spokesperson Sara Wurfel said in a statement.

“This was not about LGBT or adoption issues, but about obligation to defend the law and Constitution as people wrote or amended it, and the voter-initiated language in the Constitution clearly prohibits him from giving the benefits of marriage to a same-sex couple.”

Snyder’s likely Democratic opponent, Mark Schauer, called Friedman’s ruling a “major victory” in a statement.

“While I know there are differing views on this issue, I firmly believe every Michigander deserves equal protection under the law, and today’s ruling reaffirms this fundamental American value,” he said.

Seventeen states, along with the District of Columbia, recognize same-sex marriage. Michigan joins Texas, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Kentucky as

states with constitutional bans on same-sex marriage overturned in court and put on stay. metro@cm-life.com

Celebrating culture

Jefferson Ballew, from Pakagon Band Potawatomi dances in a large circle Sunday at the 25th Annual Celebrating Life Pow Wow in McGuirk Arena.

Students learn about Native American culture and traditions at CMU Pow Wow can dances were performed.

The main dances were the traditional dance, grass dance, women’s jingle dress dance and the fancy dance – a competitive dance tailored for modern male warriors.

Darrel Hill, one of the male fancy dancers, said he loved the energy the crowd brought and encouraged more students to attend the Pow Wows.

“Students can get a proud sense of the culture and knowledge of native people by coming here and seeing what we are all about,” Hill said. “They don’t just learn about the culture, they learn about life and love as well.”

This marks the first year Native American vendor Cindy Pigeon setup her collection of hand-made Native American necklaces and dreamcatchers to be sold at the CMU Pow Wow. “I really want everyone to feel comfortable here and to realize that we are just the same as everyone else,” Pigeon said. “We enjoy opening up our culture for students and other young people to show them who we actually are, not just who they think we are.”

Pigeon stressed the importance of students coming out and meeting Native Americans themselves, so their viewpoints of the Native American culture are not limited to how the culture is sometimes perceived through media.

One of the many aspects that made the Pow Wow possible was the large number of volunteers, many of whom were CMU students, who showed up to help organize and setup.

Warren sophomore Brooke Dixon had an educational and an entertaining time volunteering on Saturday, and said she thinks other students would be amazed by what the Pow Wow has to offer.

“Learning about a different culture in this way is definitely a fun, new experience,” Dixon said.

Adding a grandson to his dance troupe of six sons at the Central Michigan University Pow Wow, Rick Cleveland ensured the cultural heritage of Native Americans will continue to live on through generations.

The lead singer of the Ho-Chunk, a Michigan Native American tribe, performed several songs and dances at Saturday’s 25th Annual CMU “Celebrating Life” Pow Wow. “There’s no better way to express ourselves than through dance and song with friends and family,” Cleveland said. “It’s a very special time and I am fortunate enough to be able to share these moments with my children.”

The weekend festivities opened with the grand entry at McGuirk Arena in the CMU Events Center. All of the dancers entered the dance circle arena, led by the head veteran and flag bearers. The 35-minute ceremony featured dancers performing synchronized steps to the beat of the host drum as the tribes were introduced.

After the grand entry, the smoke dance began, making its first appearance at the CMU Pow Wow on Saturday in honor of the 25th anniversary.

The dance, performed by both men and women, has a fast beat and many steps, which require the dancer to be focused on the rhythm of the music.

CMU alumnus David Purchase and his wife, who occasionally attend Michigan pow wows, enjoyed teaching their two grandchildren about the Native American culture on Saturday during the grand entry.

“The Pow Wow exposes younger people to what the Native American culture has done, so it’s comforting to see so many students around,” Purchase said. “The local Native Americans here are very welcoming and have a lot of strong outlooks on life and love.”

Throughout the rest of the day, McGuirk Arena was consistently energized with a number of dance and drum contests. Both adults and young adults had their own competitions, where many traditional Native Ameri-

SGA presidential candidates set to debate Monday

By Nathan Clark Student Life Editor

Students in RPL 333 have the unique experience of organizing and running this year’s Gus Macker Tournament at Central Michigan University.

Held on campus at Finch Fieldhouse, the Mount Pleasant basketball tournament is the only one in the nation organized entirely by students, rather than an organization, according to Tim Otteman, who teaches RPL 333.

For five years, the class has given students the opportunity to experience the fun and stress of organizing an event that hundreds attend, Otteman said.

In turn, the Gus Macker foundation donates $10,000 each year to CMU. Seventy-five students applied for 33 seats in the class. This year, the class decided on “Foodfürhoopin’” as their theme. Donations of non-perishable food and other goods will be accepted during the tournament and will be donated to the Isabella Community Food Kitchen and Compassion Care Network food pantry.

Registration costs $140 per team. The event will be held on May 3-4 in front of Finch Fieldhouse. Registration for the event ends April 14.

presidential candidates will answer prepared questions regarding how they will run the office, and the vice presidential running mates will answer questions about how they would be effective as vice president.

“We are going to be representing the student body in the eyes of the community,” Mahone said. “Students should go to the debates to see who will represent them the best.”

Both candidates will have two minutes to answer each question. The opposing candidate has the option of a 30-second rebuttal to every question answered.

The debate will run 45 minutes and is open to the public.

Voting for the SGA elections starts March 31 and will end April 4. During that time period, students will vote online at OrgSync through CMU’s website. studentlife@cm-life.com

CMU TV STATION RECOGNIZED

BY STATE BROADCASTING Central Michigan University’s 24-hour cable outlet has been named college television station of the year by the Michigan Association of Broadcasters for the 13th consecutive year.

Peter Orlik, the director of the School of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, said this is a victory for the school and the station because of the competition this year.

“This unprecedented string of victories was continued despite intense competition from electronic media departments on other campuses across the state,” Orlik said in a press release on March 12. “Michigan State and Grand Valley State were especially vigorous competitors for this honor.”

A panel of Michigan broadcasters judged the stations as well as individual students on their work and content. MHTV was recognized along with News Central 34 and professors Eric Limarenko and Rick Sykes, who were involved in the station’s success.

Student voice wields little influence on political action, social change

Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

Great professors can make a difference

What have you done for us lately?

SGA debate schedule Monday, March 24 8 p.m.- Debates start 8:06 p.m. - Questions for presidential candidates 8:14 p.m. - Questions for vice presidential candidates 8:22 p.m. - Questions for the ticket 8:30 p.m. - Questions from the audience and Twitter 8:40 p.m. - Closing statements

T

he loudest voice for social change on Central Michigan University’s campus is

telling us that we’re all going to Hell. begin for the March 31 election, we question the organization’s role on campus.

This year, under Marie Reimers’ leadership, SGA has lent its support to a number of initiatives, including the use of sustainable seafood in dining halls and the extension of operating hours at the Bovee University Center.

SGA is also working to increase the Campus Programing Fund, and last year it revitalized tailgating before football games.

Who cares?

As an organization that should be at the forefront of political and social change, the SGA has failed us. As students who have a duty to get involved in meaningful causes, we have failed each other.

Instead of demonstrations or protests about important issues, our students and student leaders have decided to focus on more frivolous ventures. Protest, petition and picketing used to be commonplace on a

Soulwinners Ministries has repeatedly sent boisterous representatives to campus – using less-than-polite language – to spread its version of the gospel and to help “exhort campus ministries to biblical holiness and evangelization.”

While anyone with a message to send is entitled to their right to deliver it, it’s alarming that radical viewpoints – one that most students appear to disagree with – can serve as the predominant voice on a campus of nearly 20,000 students.

College campuses, filled with generations of future politicians and industry leaders, have traditionally served as the breeding grounds for social change. Students, traditionally, have been the catalytic voice for political action.

At CMU, however, we are complacent. It’s time to make a change.

The Student Government Association claims to be the “official voice of the student body.” Monday, as debates

university campus. Students, and their student government used to make a bigger impact on our daily lives.

Reimers is an avid advocate for LGBTQ rights, but where was SGA during the court trial to end the Michigan ban on gay marriage?

What about when Gov. Rick Snyder cut back on state appropriations?

Where was the student backlash for increasing tuition?

What about our campus policy for guns on campus?

In the ’60s, as more students were drafted into armed services during the Vietnam War, student groups took to the streets for change. Students picketed alongside their SGA to voice their concerns and to make a difference.

Where was the support to pull our troops from the war in Iraq or Afghanistan? It’s a concept that seems foreign now.

Over the past few years, the voice of our student body has exerted little influence. Student activism, especially that led by SGA, has been non-existent. Issues of real social change have been largely ignored.

It’s become easy for students to post their concerns to social media and set real demonstrations and pickets

aside. However, tweets and status updates serve more as an expression of identity, rather than an instrument for actual change.

Now, as the opportunity for new leadership arrives at the SGA, it is time to make an impact. Regardless of who takes the reigns of our student government, we hope to see a renewed advocation for change and a willingness to make a real difference.

In the past decade, we, as students, have stood idly by as reforms that hardly impacted the student body traveled through our SGA. Now is the time to redefine the role of our student government, amplify the voice of the students and to make a solid plan for our future.

At tonight’s debate, we want to hear from a candidate who is willing to make an impact. We want someone who can stand up for what we believe in, take action and demand our voice be heard.

We want students there, asking the tough questions and getting involved in student government.

Ultimately, we want a return to the perspective that it’s us who can – and will – make a difference.

Persistence for equal opportunities TO THE EDITOR: There are many negative affiliations tied to anyone who is a part of the LGBTQ community and the lifestyle that they choose to live. Similarly, there is an enormous population of people who are working against gay and lesbian rights – however, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to

take action against the discrimination.

Holder stated that the Justice Department’s role in confronting discrimination must be as aggressive today as it was in Robert Kennedy’s time. He realizes that equal rights for gay and lesbian couples requires a battle, but is worth every ounce of time and energy to ensure they

receive the fair treatment and equal opportunities they deserve.

Everyone has an opinion on the subject, but it is not a matter of right and wrong.

Rather, it is an effort to get individuals to realize that members of the LGBTQ Community are human beings – just as everyone else. They do not deserve to be criticized for making life decisions that are not harmful to anyone. Their decisions only factor into their own individual life satisfaction.

Everyone deserves to be treated equally, and with Eric

Holder’s push for this equality, it can hopefully spark a nationwide movement for those who believe the government should not be interfering with this aspect of our individual lives. This is not something that will happen overnight, but with much persistence, equal opportunity – like Michigan has decided – can be granted to those who deserve it the most.

Alyson Strzalkowski Livonia sophomore

The first thing I thought of when I read of journalism professor Sean Baker’s drunken escapades was not the tarnishing of Central Michigan University’s public image, nor the blemish cast upon CMU’s journalism program, but of myself.

I think I know what it’s like to be in Baker’s shoes.

I can’t claim the long struggle he can, but I did find myself out of a job, failing most of my classes and losing my ability to graduate in four years. Last semester, I often prioritized getting myself intoxicated as often as possible over any sort of academic or personal needs.

I’d love to thank my smashing good looks, dauntless wit and heroic perseverance, but there was really only one thing that allowed me to dig myself out of the rut: CMU’s professors.

Baker’s offenses have caused an onset of criticism from both students and student media about the actions of our faculty on campus. With recent charges of indecent exposure, embezzlement and even child pornography – the criticism is warranted and justified.

But before we paint with too broad a brush, I’d like to take a moment to recognize the professors I’ve had, who have gone above and beyond their job descriptions to make my stay at this institution invaluable.

There are small things, like those of Robert Fanning. He is a creative writing professor who always finds the time to remind me how much he enjoyed what I wrote in his class ages ago. There’s Desmond Harding, literature professor, who, upon learning I reported for Central Michigan Life, appeared to make it his personal mission to suggest a new story idea every other class.

Then there are the not-so-small things. There’s journalism professor Teresa Hernandez, who left a meeting early and drove through 40 minutes of crummy weather to meet with me – outside of office hours – about getting back on track in her class.

There’s journalism professor Ed Simpson, who has been more of a mentor and a friend to me than just a professor. He took a personal interest in my growth as a reporter and has spent hours chatting and working with me on my future.

CMU’s tuition is egregious, but people like these make it worth it.

Perhaps most important last semester was journalism professor John Hartman. After receiving an email that I was going to receive a failing grade in his class, he urged me to focus on getting myself better. After personally offering to walk me to the CMU counseling center, he leaned back and said a string of words that struck me like little else ever has.

“I can’t wait to see what you write in five years.”

At that point, being a successful journalist or writer had not crossed my mind for months, but the confidence within his voice stirred dormant confidence within me.

I know this: Upon writing my first defining masterpiece five years from now, I’ll know exactly who to thank.

I’ll thank the professors whose services to me have extended far beyond the classroom, and have helped me to grow as an individual in remarkable ways.

In the midst of the rise in misconduct, let’s not let the few professors who have wandered astray distract us from those professors who are doing it right.

Students at Citizen’s Police Academy get a taste of law enforcement

Senior Reporter

My day as a CMU police officer

By Orrin Shawl Staff Reporter

Students had the opportunity to shoot training guns with plastic bullets, drive police cars and draw fingerprints from makeshift crime scenes this weekend during the fifth Citizen’s Police Academy.

Freshman Brett Nielsen learned police work is not easy when he tried to execute building searches to find armed suspects.

“What you see in the movies, that’s not what it’s like in real life,” said the Virginia native.

“This is an active-shooter situation, and you better have your eyes open and have a 360-degree view. And you have to trust the man behind you. If you don’t trust him, you have nothing.”

Nielsen was one of 14 students who participated in the Citizen’s Police Academy, a series of training sessions organized by the Central Michigan University Police Department.

The training sessions took place in the Rose Center, lot 63 and in the Merrill Hall basement.

CMUPD Sgt. Trent Case was in charge of organizing the academy. Case said it was for people wanting to get into law enforcement, as well as those who were curious about how law enforcement works.

“Some of the training that we’ll put them through, even though it’s the short version, will give them a little bit of a taste of what we go through,” Case said. “And (it will) give them an understanding of what law enforcement is from our perspective.”

Farmington Hills junior Chelsea Potrykus took part in the academy, not to become a police officer like other students, but to increase her knowledge about law enforcement.

“My major is sociology with a concentration in criminal justice,” Potrykus said. “I don’t want to go into the police officer field, but I want an idea of how the system works. I want to work with the juveniles, just so I know how the police officers act with them.”

The academy started off with physical training from the Michigan Certified Officer Law Enforcement Standards test to give the students an idea for what kind of workouts police

officers in training have to go through. Students also learned about defensive tactics and how to apply pressure to specific spots on someone’s head.

After lunch, students broke off into different sessions to learn about crime scene investigations, building searches, precision driving and siren stops.

CMUPD Detective Mike Sienkiewicz, who ran the crime scene investigation session, said these tasks are an important and an interesting part of law enforcement.

“We gave them the basic instructions on how to do those tasks,” he said. “Some of us have done fingerprints before, but I think it’s still interesting to see it.”

Once the students were finished with the crime scene investigation session, CMUPD took them to the basement of Merrill Hall. There the students received training in shooting rifles and handguns before they practiced searching a building in groups of two.

After Grand Rapids senior Greg Pierce went through the building search session with Nielsen as his partner, he felt he earned a lot of experience for security at sporting events –

especially for his job at McGuirk Arena.

“I can help protect my staff who will be in charge of the patrons and (will) keep them calm and in order if things are going crazy,” Pierce said. “Based on this, maybe there are some things that we need to change here. But it is something very cool, and I can’t wait to go talk to my bosses this week and throw in some ideas to better Central Michigan.”

Pierce wasn’t the only student who went through the academy to help with their oncampus job.

One of the academy’s volunteers, Ionia junior Lukas Buxton, came to CMU wanting to be an engineer.

After he went through the academy last year, he earned a job as a building security officer for CMUPD. Through that connection, he went on a ride-along and loved it.

“That really got me,” he said.

“I knew from that first ride that I wanted to do law enforcement.

It was a blast.” metro@cm-life.com

As a journalist, I’m always going to run into stories that require me to work with members of the police force.

From accidents to crimes, there will always be events the public needs to know about that are handled by a highly-trained set of people who are not well understood by the public.

Police officers deal with some of the most stressful and difficult situations our society is faced with. Participating in this year’s Citizen’s Police Academy put on by the Central Michigan University Police Department gave me a window into how they manage it.

After starting off with a bang

and running through just a portion of the physical training required of police officers, I quickly realized police work is not for the faint of heart, or body, or mind.

In one 10-hour day we covered everything from compliance techniques to building search strategies to crime scene investigations.

What I found to be the most impressive was not the obstacle course through which I drove a CMUPD cruiser as fast as possible with the lights flashing and sirens blaring, but the fact that each activity was in reference to a specific incident on campus.

I have to admit though, driving the cruiser was probably the coolest thing I can claim to have done since coming to college.

With each lesson, the other participants and I were able to get a glimpse into the structured and ordered world of police officers and glean more and more reason behind their procedures.

One major takeaway from the experience was the limitations officers face on a day-today basis.

The fancy equipment and instantaneous test results of

CSI: Miami are a myth.

Real officers put in hours of training, work and painstaking investigation to yield results that can sometimes take up to a year to produce with today’s technology. DNA analysis is only one example.

For any student who doubts the myriad police forces at work in the Mount Pleasant area, or simply does not understand them, the academy is the perfect remedy.

A mere 10 hours with the men and women of the CMUPD gave me more information and satiated my curiosity more than I could have imagined. By the end of the day, I had the answers to questions I hadn’t even thought to ask.

After spending less than one day as a “cop,” I was exhausted, intrigued, challenged, shocked, enlightened and impressed.

I hope that, for the sake of the program and understanding between citizens and police officers, students in the future will not pass up the opportunity to feel exactly the same way. metro@cm-life.com

Spring Carnival brings Woldt Hall students together Popcorn, cotton candy help make connections with RAs, students

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter

The aroma of fresh popcorn and cotton candy filled the Fabiano Lobby while students and children tossed rings at wooden rabbits trying to win prizes.

Every year the Woldt resident assistants are required to host a weeklong event. This year, however, Woldt Residence Hall Director Abby Finney allowed a change as the hall held its first ever Spring Carnival on Saturday.

“The RAs wanted to try something new, and I told them they could put all of their effort into one event,” Finney said.

“This was a lot different from our traditional weeklong event.

We had residents from other halls come, which was a first.

It could quite possibly be done again in years to come.”

Ring toss, lollipop drawing, milk can toss, balloon pop, ball-in-hole, a photo booth and a ducky pond were the featured games throughout the day, each with unlimited attempts.

At each game station, players received a raffle ticket that could win them prizes, the biggest being gift cards from Mount Pleasant restaurants.

The more games students played, the more tickets they got, which would increase the odds of winning the cards.

More than 100 people attended, including Illinois sophomore Anyce Harvey. She enjoyed the event and said no one is too young to attend a carnival.

“It is OK to be a kid some-

times, especially with stress from school and exams,” Harvey said. “I try to come out and attend events like these so I wont be sitting in my room all day.”

Danielle Cook, a Woldt resident assistant and Oak Park senior, said the event was easier

for residents to come to and easier to put together.

“We just want people to come play games, and enjoy themselves,” she said. “Carnival is just a good time and (a) way to connect our campus.

Today showed that events

like this could be successful for a college campus.”

RHA President and Northville senior, Eric Ostrowski, said the allocation of general assembly ultimately decided to fund the festivities because of its social benefits for students.

“This was another way for residents to make connections,” he said. “They will be able to connect with others within their halls, and with it being open to other students on campus, it allowed them to meet other people who don’t live

CMU has wide-gender gap among highest-paid faculty, full professor pool

By Katherine Ranzenberger Senior Reporter

If you look for women earning prominent wages as faculty at Central Michigan University, you’ll have a hard time finding them.

Only 28.9 percent of full professors at CMU are female, and out of the top 50 highest-paid faculty members – including chairs of departments – only five are female.

Compounding the gender gap, university officials have cited specific challenges in attracting female instructors and potential faculty to teach subjects like science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

“Across the colleges and across the departments, there are different disciplines commanding different salaries,” said Joshua Smith, president of the Faculty Association and a philosophy professor. “If you couple that with the long-standing problem that different disciplines have a hard time attracting women, like accounting or chemistry or philosophy, (higher education is) sort of the leftover one that has a serious lack of representation of women.”

Specific challenges for CMU and other universities include competition for qualified female STEM instructors, as well as competition with large companies and firms for women with STEM backgrounds. “(CMU) has to make the position competitive,” Smith said. “(The faculty member) could go to another university or to a firm and make a lot more money.”

WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?

Despite CMU’s lack of high-earning female faculty, Robert Roe, executive director for Institutional Research and Planning, said the number of women graduating with doctoral degrees is increasing nationally.

However, the number of STEM graduates moving into teaching positions is low, said Ann Miller, director of faculty employment and compensation for Faculty Personnel Services.

Miller said women in STEM fields are generally a smaller part of the workplace population.

Women with STEM degrees do have a multitude of high-earning career options when they graduate with doctoral degrees. Highereducation institutions often lose out on catching these and other non-STEM women as employees.

“When (women) are in a pool and they rise to top candidate, they often have other offers because they’re in other pools, too,” she said.

“That’s what CMU is competing against, those multiple offers (from) institutions much larger than ours.”

WHY PROFESSORS GET PAID THE WAY THEY DO Challenges in attracting prominent women helps to explain the low supply of female professors, but it fails to explain exactly why so few female faculty earn high wages at CMU. Smith said it has more to do with the choices of women in these fields, as well as the length of time it takes to reach tenure as a faculty member.

There are four levels of CMU professors, which include instructor, assistant professor,

associate professor and full professor, Smith said. Each level has its own base pay.

From there, faculty members have a built-in 1.5 percent salary increase, plus $835 allocated to them in their 2013-14 contract.

The percentage increases give senior faculty members a higher-pay wage than those with lower starting salaries.

Smith said professors can apply for a higher wage using a merit pay system.

“As long as they’re staying active, then they can apply for another professor salary adjustment (and) they can earn themselves a raise,” he said.

“It’s rewarding those who stay active, those who are clearly on top of their field and share their knowledge with students.”

Staying active, Smith said, includes doing research in the field, writing essays for publication and attending conferences to help advance their students’ experiences in the classroom.

This can also vary a professor’s class loads, sometimes allowing them to teach only one or two classes as a trade for spending more time on research.

Roe said it’s up to each faculty member to decide if they want to stay active to receive merit pay, explaining “it’s a choice to be promoted.”

UNINTENDED INSTITUTIONAL SEXISM

However, that “choice to be promoted” can come at a cost for the female workforce at CMU. Doing the kind of work that necessitates merit pay, such as research, sometimes runs counter to personal goals, like getting married and raising children.

This forces females to make choices their male counterparts never have to.

“Historically, that’s been a bigger problem for women than for men,” Roe said. “If a woman decides to start a family and she’s lucky enough to have a supportive spouse who can share the load – let me put it this way: it’s difficult for a family not to get in the way of research.”

Roe said it takes about 12

years to become a full professor. The faculty members in the top 50 highest-paid positions have been here an average of 30 years, with the longest tenure at 45 years and the shortest at four years.

Chairpersons of departments also make more money than their other faculty counterparts, Roe said. However, only seven of the 36 department chairs are in the top 50 highest-paid bracket.

FIXING THE GENDER GAP

University officials recognize the gender gap on their hands and have been hiring women at a higher rate in the past 12 years, Roe said.

“There were fewer Ph.D.’s granted to females at the time when many of the full professors were hired, an average of more than 12 years ago, and often more than 20 years ago,” he said, “which is reflected in the gap in proportion of female full professors.”

The gender gap is closing as assistant and associate professors are promoted over the years, Roe said. Associate professors – those who were hired between six to 12 years ago – are close to becoming full professors: 44.9 percent of them being female and 55.1 percent being male.

Assistant professors, including new hires and those hired up to five years ago, have an even closer ratio of women to men, with 49.3 percent females and 50.7 percent males.

As full professors retire and associate professors are promoted, the gap will close even faster, Roe said.

However, that process might be slower than one would hope; one that depends heavily on what professors are going to retire.

Optimistic about female professors staying at CMU and increased recruiting efforts, Roe believes the next two decades will see higher numbers of women with top wages.

“The gap will continue to lessen,” he said. “You’re already seeing a significant change at the associate level.” university@cm-life.com

You can’t talk your way out of trouble!

“You have the right to remain silent; anything you say can be used against you in court.” This important warning of constitutional rights has become cliché due to television and motion pictures. Realize that a person is never required to speak when questioned by the police. However, being silent isn’t “silence” anymore. Recent Supreme Court rulings require you to actually say something like “I wish to remain silent” in order to enjoy the protections that the 5th Amendment provides. Don’t think you can talk your way out of trouble; tell the officer that you wish to remain silent and would like an attorney present. Then call us. We can help!

NCAA WRESTLING

Joe Roth receives All-American recognition in final season »PAGE 4B

Defending the dynasty FIVE FAST FACTS YPSILANTI — Here are five keys to take away from the Mid-American Conference Gymnastics Championship on Saturday.

CMU is at the top of its game. Unlike the tie in last year’s MAC championship, the Chippewas scored a96.475 and didn’t have to share the podium. Kent State was 1.5 points behind in second place. CMU beat Western Michigan by nearly five points.

The Chippewas had zero trouble earning the title for the fifth-straight year.

The only roadblock for CMU was Kent State’s Marie Case, who was named MAC Gymnast of the Year, MAC Senior of the Year and MAC All-Around Champion.

The Chippewas have arguably their best chance to get into the national championship this season. CMU awaits the NCAA regional championship draw to see where and whom they will compete against en route to the national championship in Birmingham, Ala. The draw will be at 3 p.m. on Monday, with possible locations including Athens, Ga., Minneapolis, Minn., Fayetteville, Ark., State College, Pa., Baton Rouge, La. or Seattle, Wash.

Round one of the NCAA tournament kicks off April 5.

CMU reaffirms conference dominance for fifth-straight year

MAC Gymnastics Championships are louder than most football games.

With seven teams present Saturday, each brought a strong fanbacking – fans who started tailgating in the early morning hours.

Kent State fans were chanting at others from RV to RV at 11:30 a.m. Bowling Green brought hundreds of orangepainted fans, who sparked the Falcons to a third-place finish.

As each team got loud for every routine, their fans competed in volume.

In a sport that requires an immense amount of focus, it filtered out the championship contenders from the pretenders.

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

The ‘Area 51’ sign will continue to hang.

Central Michigan gymnastics’ goal of earning five individual championships and one team championship did not come into fruition Saturday. However, they did fulfill the team portion, earning a fifth-straight Mid-American Conference championship.

Because CMU finished second or third in every event, junior Kylie Fagan was the only Chippewa to earn an individual championship, doing so on the last routine of the last event. Fagan’s 9.95 on the uneven bars put the finishing touches on securing the title.

“It feels great,” Fagan said.

“It’s what I’ve been working for all season. Just to come in there and help the team, and to come out as MAC champion was icing on the cake.”

Head coach Jerry Reighard has said all season that Fagan is good enough to be the MAC champion on bars, but it took until about halfway through the season before she really started to believe it.

“Kylie is a very, very special person,” Reighard said.

“It’s been very difficult over the (last) few years to get her to really firmly believe that she’s that good. She was able to get in the zone and she’s done that routine just like that seriously once a day for the last two months, so it was nice to see her be able to do it when she had to do it.”

Fagan’s previous career high was a 9.925, which she earned March 8 at Rutgers.

Her 9.95 Saturday was the highest score of the meet and the second-highest uneven bars score in MAC tournament history.

Gymnastics events are unpredictable.

Last week CMU had one of its worst performances in years on bars. On Saturday, the Chippewas recorded their second-best score in school history. You never know when something might spark the whole team to do well. Sophomore Karlee Teet was second in line on bars and scored a 9.9. Next, junior Taylor Noonan scored a 9.9, followed by sophomore Taylor Bolender (9.875), Brittany Petzold (9.85), and new bars MAC champion, junior Kylie Fagan (9.95).

The second her feet hit the ground at the end of the routine, she knew it was a 9.95. “(Reighard) just had this big smile on his face (after the routine),” Fagan said. (He) gave me a high-five and told me that’s what I’ve been working all year for.”

Saturday in Ypsilanti marked the seventh year in a row the Chippewas have claimed an individual title.

Kent State senior Marie Case dominated the other individual categories, tying for first on vault, beating out junior Taylor Noonan for first on balance beam and winning the all-around in

dominant fashion. Senior Brittany Petzold came in second, more than half a point behind in the all-around.

Case also tied second on bars and third on floor. She was instrumental in the Golden Flashes victory against CMU earlier in the season.

“I know that (Case) did a great routine, so it was welldeserved by her,” Noonan said.

“My focus was on the team and whatever I could contribute was what I tried to do.”

Even after winning the MAC tournament, the Chippewas were surprisingly shutout

from the MAC Specialty Awards, which included Coach of the Year, Gymnast of the Year, Senior of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Specialist of the Year.

“I said to my staff ‘it doesn’t matter. We’re walking out of here with the trophy,’” Reighard said. “You can’t win six if you don’t win five, so now you know where we’re heading next year.

All in all, I’m just very proud of our athletes.” sports@cm-life.com

The Chippewa returning class is promising to say the least. Returners accounted for the top two finishes in every event, including the three 9.9’s on bars – Fagan, Teet and Noonan – and a 9.9 on floor from Bolender. Only seniors Brittany Petzold and Emily Heinz have used their final year of eligibility.

Petzold, Heinz complete ‘perfect’ CMU careers

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Senior co-captains Brittany Petzold and Emily Heinz wore ear-to-ear smiles Saturday, as they celebrated a perfect postseason career at CMU. Both gymnasts have won a MidAmerican Conference championship in each of their four years in maroon and gold.

They breezed past competition this year, including rival and regular-season champions, Kent State.

“It felt great to beat Kent, one of the best feelings I’ve ever had, especially to beat them all four years,” Heinz said.

The duo is the second senior class to accomplish the feat in school history. Petzold and Heinz will lead the Chippewas into the NCAA regional championship next weekend, where they finished last during the 2013 regional competition.

Heinz scored a nearly-perfect beam routine in her final season with a 9.925. She celebrated the MAC finale with another accolade, adding to an already large collection. She finished fourth overall in the MAC championship on bars behind two teammates. In her career she was named MAC Specialist of the Week and Academic All-MAC. Petzold had a celebrated career as a Chippewa as well. In 2013, she was MAC Co-Gymnast of the Year, first team All-MAC, Academic AllMAC, All-Around MAC Champion and MAC Gymnast of the Week several times.

Petzold had surgery on her shoulder and bounced back to

the top of her craft and the conference.

This season she received her best score in bars with a 9.9 and her top score on vault with a 9.875.

She was able to spend her Emily Heinz junior and senior years with her sister Kirsten “Kiki” as her teammate.

The women were honored at the conclusion of the meet along with the rest of the MAC seniors.

“We work so hard in the gym and all the hard work has finally paid off this year and it’s just a really amazing feeling,” Brittany Petzold said.

She competed in the all-around Saturday, scoring a 39.975, earning runner-up to Kent State’s Marie Case. Petzold’s 9.85 on bars ended the Chippewas recent struggles in that event.

Heinz excelled on the balance beam with a 9.825, third best for CMU and fourth best of all competing gymnasts.

“I’d say this is our greatest chance we have ever had to go to the national championship,” Heinz explained. “This is the first time we’re going to finish the season in the Top 18 and now will be the first time we have been seeded going into regionals and that is a huge deal.”

CMU will wait until 3 p.m. Monday to find out where it will head for regional action. sports@cm-life.com

Reighard clearly deserves MAC Coach of the Year award When I asked gymnastics head coach Jerry Reighard why he wasn’t named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, he said he had no comment.

Well I have a comment. Reighard is the coach of the year in my book.

He has won the award nine times. It is probably good to let other coaches win the honor once in a while, but he definitely deserved the award this year.

He helped a team with only two seniors become a nationally-

recognized program. Ranked No. 18, CMU is 21-3 and sits in good company with the Big 10, SEC and Pac 12 powerhouses. For the first time in years, CMU has a legitimate shot at making the national championship.

Not many MAC teams can say that — in any sport.

Kent State’s Brice Biggin, who won coach of the year, is welldeserving, as his team sits just outside the Top 25. The difference is, he has had the help of three-

time MAC Gymnast of the Year, Marie Case.

CMU, on the other hand, has had to rely on contributions from almost everybody in the lineup, as shown in Saturday’s recordshattering fifth-consecutive MAC championship victory.

Reighard brought a group of gymnasts together to receive the third-highest score in MAC championship history with a 196.475.

He somehow helped the bars squad evolve from the weight drag-

ging the team down to one the best events in their lineup.

Four of the six gymnasts scored their personal bests on bars Saturday, including a pair of 9.9’s from junior Taylor Noonan and sophomore Karlee Teet. A week ago, they scored 9.65 and 9.45 on bars, respectively.

Reighard might not be the most animated coach or the loudest guy on the floor, but he’s proven he’s the best for 30 years.

He was winning championships

Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

for the Chippewas before his current players were born.

For anyone who thinks he is past his prime, Saturday proved otherwise. This team is something special because this coach is something special.

Still don’t think he’s the Coach of the Year? Just wait until regionals.

Cox owns the plate in non-conference play, leads CMU offense

By Drew Powers Staff Reporter

Trista Cox has found herself the catalyst for an aggressive Central Michigan offense.

CMU’s softball team heads into Mid-American Conference play with a 17-9 record,

and are in a good spot to pit themselves against conference competitors while almost doubling the score of their opponents. Cox, a junior third baseman, has played a large role in the team’s success thus far.

Typically batting in the three or four slot, Cox leads

TRISTA COX

LEADS IN BATTING AVG: .366 HITS: 30 RBI: 19 HOME RUNS: 7 SLUGGING PCT: .695 ON BASE PCT: .400

the team in nearly every major offensive category.

“I don’t really think about certain kinds of pitches that could be coming,” she said.

“It’s really just, ‘see the ball, hit the ball.’ I just want to contribute to the team, and it means a lot to me when I do.”

Cox, in essence, is the team’s triple crown winner.

At this point in the season, Cox is hitting .366, with 19 RBI and seven home runs.

She also leads the Chippewas in hits (30), on base percentage (.400), and slugging percentage (.695).

This level of performance is nothing new for Cox. From Indianapolis, Cox attended Roncalli High School, where she received all-state honors her junior and senior seasons before committing to Louisville.

However, after seeing

limited-playing time for a Louisville team that went an incredible 55-5 her freshman year, Cox transferred to CMU. It’s a decision she arrived at based on “a gut feeling.”

“The team, the coaches, and the facilities were all great,” Cox said. “I knew CMU was the place I wanted to be.”

She made an immediate impact upon arrival, finishing the 2013 season with a .298 batting average, five home runs, and 22 RBI, which earned her secondteam All-MAC honors. Most importantly, she helped the Chippewas claim the MAC championship, hitting a walk-off home run in the 11th inning against Northern Illinois.

When the fundamentals of her game and her approach at the plate are concerned, Cox said her coaches and

teammates have helped her.

“Also, knowing that I have a strong team behind me allows me to relax and have fun at the plate,” Cox said. “Central has become a home away from home for me.”

Cox and the Chippewas open MAC play Friday, hosting Akron in Margo Jonker Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. sports@cm-life.com

Baseball beats Ohio 4-2; first MAC season-opener sweep since 2007

By Seth Newman Senior Reporter

It was the bottom of the ninth inning, with the bases loaded and no outs.

Central Michigan starting pitcher Nick Deeg pitched the entire game up to this point.

With a 4-1 lead, CMU was looking for its first Mid-American Conference season opening sweep since 2007.

Reliever Tim Black came out to the mound for the Chippewas, hoping to extinguish the threat. Black calmly closed the ninth inning, giving up one hit to secure the 4-2 CMU victory and sweeping the Ohio Bobcats.

Deeg’s winning performance can’t be downplayed, as his final stat line showed complete domination, going eight innings and allowing seven hits and one earned run.

Head coach Steve Jaksa said every game plan starts with Deeg’s fastball. The rest of his pitching arsenal comes from the ability to pitch off the fastball.

“He really has a great angle with it, especially against righthanded hitters,” Jaksa said. “He now has the ability to throw his secondary pitches for strikes.

He can keep the hitters guessing on the second and third time facing them.”

When the outside fastball is working for Deeg, he knows he will have a good outing.

“Going out there, I like to establish my fastball,” Deeg said. “That’s basically what all my pitches work off from. It’s good to throw an outside fastball because it has a heavier angle. My off-speed works better when I have the fastball going. When I put it all together, I know it’s going to be a good day.”

There was a lot of pressure for Black to come on and close out the game for the Chippewas, but Jaksa said Black looks at it as an opportunity rather than pressure.

“He doesn’t let the situation get too big; he likes to compete,” Jaksa said. “Pressure affects you adversely. For him, it was just another opportunity for him to do what he does. The only hit they got was a six-hole bagger that didn’t even get to the outfield.”

Handing the ball to another pitcher with the game on the line – as well as a potential win in your stat line – can be nerve-racking.

Deeg was confident giving the ball to Black and watching him have fun.

“He always seems to get people out,” Deeg said. “He brings a lot of presence to the mound. He doesn’t really care what else is going on, he just pounds the strike zone. He is a lot of fun to watch.”

A TWO-SIDED THREAT

While Deeg and Black shut down the Bobcats, the Regnier brothers – Logan and Nick – and Tyler Huntey sparked the offense.

CMU’s top third of the batting order had success with the Bobcats pitching.

Center fielder Nick Regnier, right fielder Logan Regnier and catcher Huntey each had two hits, one run and an RBI. “You want to build the top of the order,” Jaksa said. “You have a little speed up there, the order is set up for a reason, you have people doing things in different ways.

We had some really nice quality at-bats with other guys, too.”

When told that CMU hadn’t swept a MAC season opener since 2007, Jaksa said he couldn’t believe it had been that long.

That year was a good year for CMU baseball, Jaksa remembered, as he hopes this season will go as well.

“We played well; I think the most important thing that it means is that we got a sweep on the road. That makes you feel pretty good,” Jaksa said.

“We have one weekend in the books and you can’t do any better than we did.”

Roth makes childhood dream a reality, receives AllAmerican recognition in final wrestling season

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

It was a lifelong dream fulfilled.

Senior 133-pounder Joe Roth came to Central Michigan a redshirt freshman and left as an All-American.

Roth capped off his career at CMU placing seventh at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City on Saturday.

“Becoming an All-American

is something no one can take away from me,” Roth said.

“That’s been a dream and goal of mine since I was a kid. It’s pretty cool to be able to reach that goal.”

He said seeing all his hard work pay off after five years at CMU was the most rewarding.

“I couldn’t be happier,” Roth said. “It’s been a five-year process from when I first came to Central until now. I’ve had my sights on becoming an All-

American and it’s nice to see all that hard work pay off.”

Head coach Tom Borrelli said Roth is one of the best lightweights to ever come through the program.

“He really helped lead us to a conference championship that season,” Borrelli said. “I think he might be only the second All-American we’ve ever had at 133 pounds. When you look at lightweights that have come through our program, he has to be right at the top.”

Roth won his seventh-place match on Saturday over 13-seed Cody Brewer of Oklahoma by 8-6 decision. He was down 4-3 heading into the third period, but recorded an escape and two takedowns in the final period to seal the win, also earning his 100th career victory.

Borrelli said one of the most impressive things about Roth’s performances this weekend was his ability to be competitive in every match.

“Joe wrestled a good tournament all the way around,” he said. “He was seeded 12th and had to beat some people that, on paper, he wasn’t supposed to beat. Even in the two matches he lost, he was really, really competitive.”

Being the 12th seed meant

Roth had to battle higher seeds along the way to finish as an All-American, but he said those matches were good tests for him.

“I’m really happy with the way I performed this past weekend,” Roth said. “I think I did well proving myself and becoming an All-American.”

He finished with a 28-9 record in his final season and a career record of 100-37. He is only the second wrestler in program history to become an All-American in the 133-pound weight class.

Roth is also only the 19th wrestler in program history to record at least 100 career wins.

Being in that rare company means there is a significant legacy left for the younger wrestlers following him in the ranks. Roth said he hopes that legacy is positive and helps the program succeed.

“Ultimately, I wanted to make sure the program keeps getting better as a whole,” Roth said. “It was cool to have an opportunity to wrestle for Central Michigan University and wrestle under coach Borrelli and be a Division I athlete. I can’t thank coach Borrelli enough for giving me the opportunity

Joe Roth’s Record Season

28-9 that he has given me.”

His best season came as a sophomore, when he finished 35-9 overall while finishing with a 18-2 dual record. He was also the MAC champion at 125 pounds that season while being named the most outstanding wrestler at the MAC championships.

Borrelli said Roth wasn’t always the most vocal leader, but instead let his talent and actions on the mat speak for themselves.

“Joe was more of a leader by example,”Borrelli said. “He’s a pretty quiet guy and really never tried to stick out too much.”

LAKELAND, Fla. -- There now seems little chance that Max Scherzer will sign with the Tigers by his deadline of Opening Day. So it is likely that Scherzer will become a free agent this fall and that the Tigers, in order to retain him, will have to compete against bidders on the open market.

The Tigers retained Anibal Sanchez that way. He became a free agent after the 2012 season, and the Tigers outbid the Cubs for him.

Sanchez signed a fiveyear deal for $80 million. Judging by the way the pitching market has changed in the 15 months since then, Scherzer could be seeking more than twice that amount on his new deal. His aspiration level could be determined by the three largest contracts ever given to pitchers.

All three of those deals have been signed since Sanchez re-signed with the Tigers: Clayton Kershaw for $30.7 million per year on a seven-year deal with the Dodgers; Justin Verlander for $25.7 million per year on a seven-year deal with the Tigers; and Felix Hernandez for $25 million per year on a seven-year deal with Seattle.

The Tigers don't appear to have much interest in paying Scherzer that kind of money -- at least not yet.

If he continues to pitch with the dominance he has shown much of the last two

seasons in the majors.

Scherzer said at the start of spring training he didn't want to negotiate during the regular season. With eight days to go until the season starts, it seems all is quiet on any current contract talks between Scherzer and the Tigers. That could change quickly, but as of now, there's no sign it will.

competed in the 141-pound class as the eighth seed. He split his two matches on Thursday, and Friday was his last day of competition as he lost in consolation round three by 6-4 decision.

Senior Mike Ottinger was the 10th seed competing in the 174-pound class. His tournament ended after a disqualification in consolation round three.

Freshman Corey Keener lost two matches in the preliminary matches in the 125-pound division, ending his tournament. He came into the NCAA championships unseeded.

Career

If the Tigers don't re-sign Scherzer, they perhaps could pursue another highpriced free-agent pitcher.

Two other top American League starting pitchers also are due to be free agents this fall: Boston left-hander Jon Lester (who could sign with the Red Sox before he becomes a free agent) and Kansas City right-hander James Shields.

(MCT) Today’s Birthday (03/24/14). Talk about what you love this year. Keep building communications skills; greatest personal and professional gains come from expressing passion. Fun with kids, family, friends and teams grows your heart and community. Home beautification over springtime sets the stage for a boost in your fortunes after August. Fertile creativity overflows into autumn.

Grow your image and brand after October.

Follow joy.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) – Today is a 7 – A group decision provides an opportunity. Consider it, without taking action yet. Look at all options. A rise in status or pay is possible. Clarify your dream, map out a plan, and prepare your move.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – Today is a 7 – Plan your next trip, but don’t go yet. Handle responsibilities, make preparations, pay bills and repair equipment. Delegate or complete obligations.

Verify reservations. Dream about the upcoming adventure. Determine intended outcomes and priorities. Get your gear together.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – Today is a 6 – Resist the temptation to deplete shared resources.

Follow an expert’s plans. Work closely with your partner. Ride the wave, without testing physical limitations. Anticipate controversy and head it off with clarification. Don’t react without thinking.

Send someone ahead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – Today is a 7 – Aim high and rely on partners, especially to navigate breakdowns smoothly. Delegate more this week.

Streamline a work routine. Postpone relaxing in luxury. The more energy you put in, the more benefits appear. Your credit rating’s rising.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – Today is an 8 – You don’t have to pay for everything. Streamline a routine.

You’re a lucky winner. Wait to see what develops.

Don’t make outrageous promises. No fair cheating.

In other words, don’t take big actions. Sit quietly

and appreciate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Today is a 7 – The tide shifts in an unexpected direction today. Get family to help. Give everyone a chance to voice their opinion. Have what you need delivered.

Increase efficiency, and consider all possibilities.

Look for the fun side.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Today is a 7 – Don’t show unfinished work to a critic. Irritations and breakdowns at home could throw you off your stride. Schedule carefully. Remain gracious, especially around those lacking manners. Nip disagreements in the bud. Map out a dream privately.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Today is a 6 – Adapt to changes with flexibility and optimism. Reassure a loved one with your wry sense of humor.

Opportunities and new ideas hide in the chaos of fears about the future. Recognize lurking shadows and banish them with light.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Today is an 8 – Give yourself permission to dream about money. How much would you like to make? Check out an interesting suggestion. Expand your heart.

Clean up messes. Finish up old business. Test your hypothesis. Don’t take anything for granted.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Today is an 8 – Determine priorities to fulfill a personal dream.

Use more imagination than money. Act from wisdom, not impulse. Sell stuff or get it appraised.

Clean up messes. Test ideas in private before going public. Let the family help.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – Today is a 7 – Get your team moving. Schedule carefully to fit it all in. Stop worrying... meditate or go for a walk for some peace. Others ask your advice. There may be institutions or health issues involved. Friends are with you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Today is a 6 – Keep increasing your understanding, or you can just rely on faith to pull you through. Avoid a disagreement about priorities by clarifying them early on. Invite participation. Friends and associates get behind your dream. (c) 2014 BY NANCY BLACK DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
