Schuler, Hollis: Focus on the big picture

Reimers ticket pushes gender center, environment

By Ryan Fitzmaurice Senior reporter

Running mates Jonathan Schuler and Darby Hollis said their ticket’s focuses would be on reforming the Student Government Association’s culture to include more student voices and seeking increased cooperation with the university.

In a meeting with Central Michigan Life’s editorial staff Sunday, Center Line graduate student Jonathan Schuler and Westland graduate assistant Darby Hollis, candidates for SGA president and vice president, stressed they would do more than just focus on specific projects wanted by few on campus and would instead look at the bigger picture, focusing on issues including tuition and student retention.

“I think if you’re talking to students about their main concern, if they give you a pretty honest answer, I think most of them will say it’s figuring out how to go to school and afford it,” Schuler said. “I don’t think they’d be interested in working on projects that affect only a small group of Jonathan Schuler students.”

Schuler said campus safety would be a top priority of his administration.

“I don’t know what would make the safest campus. A lot of people’s ideas coming together would,” he said. “I would like to meet with those on campus who are responsible for safety ... (I know that) we rank fifth in the state, that doesn’t sound so great — we’re the fourthlargest school.”

Schuler criticized the SGA’s handling of the academic calendar, saying he didn’t believe the group sought enough input from the university or student body.

“I think the reason why the SGA rejected (the calendar change) was because the few in the SGA who were most in power didn’t want it to happen. I Darby Hollis don’t know if that was really (representative of ) the student body at large,” Schuler said.

Schuler said SGA’s relationship with the university has to improve, and that will be one of his most important tasks when he is SGA president. He said the academic calendar was an example of how SGA has interacted with the university incorrectly.

ROTC members put in work over weekend at Fort Custer

By Tony Wittkowski Senior reporter Editor’s note: This is the first of three stories to come about CMU cadets’ experiences at Fort Custer.

AUGUSTA, Mich. – While other Central Michigan University students relaxed and refueled for the upcoming week, ROTC students put in work over the weekend for combined field training exercises.

After the two-hour trip from campus, cadets found their destination at Fort Custer in Augusta and were introduced to the barracks and other cadets.

LeRoy Military Science senior and cadet captain John-Mark Grabow said the weekend was preparation for cadets going to the Leadership Development Assessment Course, which requires cadets to work with others they did not know before.

“Being able to work with people you have never met before on very short amount of time is really invaluable,” he said. “We give them a day for them to meet each other, and they are forced to do missions

After a cadet’s junior year, they go to LDAC in Fort Lewis, Wash., near Seattle, in the summer and meet with other ROTC cadets from all over the nation, Grabow said.

“It’s a four-week long evaluation period where cadets are tested over what they have learned the past three years,” Garbow said.

“They grade them and send the scores home, and the scores determine where they might go.”

The other cadets preparing for LDAC came from Eastern Michigan University, Western Michigan University, the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and the University of Notre Dame.

Ferris State University also made the trip, being one of the satellite schools of CMU.

Student Government Association presidential candidate Marie Reimers and vice presidential candidate Patrick O’Connor say their ticket’s experience and platform goals best represent the student body.

In a meeting Sunday with Central Michigan Life, Reimers, a Saginaw junior, said improving communication between SGA and the Marie Reimers student body is an important objective of their ticket. They plan to increase the roles of membership director and press secretary, and she said they will begin to release a weekly SGA newsletter.

Just as crucial to the ticket is the establishment of a women’s center.

“Sixteen-thousand students on this campus are women,” Reimers said. “We currently don’t have a (designated) safe space for women on this campus. I think that’s something that’s really important.”

The ticket said SGA needs to start captivating interest in SGA leadership positions throughout the student body. Reimers and O’Connor said they will be performing a campus-wide search to find student leaders from outside of the SGA to fill vacant Senate seats.

“We want to make sure that as many students as possible can apply,” Reimers said. “We know that there are leaders on this campus who are untapped because we haven’t been able to get to them.”

Along with establishing a bik- sharing program, Reimers said her administration will focus on encouraging the university to divest in businesses Patrick O’Connor with policies detrimental to the environment. She said the university currently has dealings with Exxon and Chevron, whose practices she said are detrimental to the environment.

“We will be letting the university know that these are our concerns,” Reimers said. “We know that this is a huge issue for the university, and it won’t be happening overnight, and we don’t expect it to happen overnight.”

Men’s basketball, football follow poor academic national trends

By Justin Hicks Senior reporter

Editor’s note: This story is part four of a series on student-athletes’ academics at Central Michigan University.

This comparison takes a look at the most recent APR on a four-year average, concluding with the 2010-11 academic year. The GSR comparison is of the 2002-05 freshman classes, each on a six-year window, ending in 2010-11.

Central Michigan University’s football and men’s basketball pro-

grams are consistent with poor national graduation success rates and academic progress reports from those sports.

The football team’s most recent GSR was 47 percent as of the 2002-05 cohort, while the men’s basketball team was 40 percent — both ranking last in the Mid-American Conference.

“It’s no secret that in our football and men’s basketball programs (GSRs have) been low,” Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said. “We’re very focused on (figuring out) why in those sports.”

Heeke pointed to the frequent

HUNTING FOR A

coaching transitions that affect football and men’s basketball as a contributor to the traditionally-low GSR. “The big reason is our football program with this group. (They’ve) had four different coaches with those student-athletes between 2002-11,” Heeke said. “That transition is very detrimental to retaining studentathletes and having that consistency through the program.”

Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision Division I football programs have a 68-percent GSR as of the 2002-05

GREAT DEAL?

cohort — 21 percentage points higher than CMU’s rate for the same grouping, according to the NCAA Division I aggregate federal graduation rate data report.

“For those two sports nationally, the trend is not in a positive direction,” Heeke said. “We want to build programs to help those, and that’s why we have coach (Dan) Enos and coach (Keno) Davis.”

Enos took over as head football coach in 2010, upon Butch Jones’ exit.

ROTC| CONTINUED FROM 1A The cadets were hampered by the declining temperatures that stayed in the 30s, which, for Commerce Military Science senior and CMU cadet captain Andrew Prueter, was a big change from last spring.

“Last year, the temperature fluctuated between 65 and 80 degrees,” Prueter said.

“Which, with a lot of the cold and wet weather, it can change the obstacles as far as climate and atmosphere.”

With no snow last year in the CFTX, Prueter said he would prefer to be hot and sweaty, because it would require less equipment and easier mobility.

THE SUBTLETIES OF WARFARE

The first bus ride full of cadets traveled along a slim dirt road late Friday afternoon, dodging the numerous potholes and mud, keeping the speed to a minimum.

The candor between the cadets remained genial as they readied themselves for the beginning of what would be three days of field simulations, pre-packaged meals and sleep deprivation within the confines of Fort Custer.

An M4 carbine rifle was handed out to every cadet, each marked with a serial number. At the end of the last exercise, weapons were brought to a separate bunker, where they were cleaned thoroughly and inspected.

Although each magazine handed out was filled with blanks, the end of the M4 rifle

ATHLETES & ACADEMICS| CONTINUED FROM 1A mindset under Enos is completely different from what it was under Jones.

“With Jones, it was just football,” the Detroit junior said. “I don’t think they really got on you for school until there was a problem.

With Enos, he preaches school first. I didn’t hear anything about academics when I was with Jones.”

Last fall, the football team’s average GPA was a 2.87, which Heeke said is the height of the program since he came to CMU in December 2005.

Next year’s recruiting class has a cumulative GPA above 3.03, which Heeke said shows Enos’ devotion to academics.

Davis is in his first season as men’s basketball head coach. He replaced former head coach Ernie Zeigler, who was fired at the conclusion of the 201112 season.

“In our men’s basketball

situation, we haven’t had success with the previous two coaches, and so there’s been turnover,” Heeke said.

Forward Zach Saylor, a Lansing graduate student with a 3.8 GPA, said his fifth year with the program has been different academically.

“A lot of the guys here this year don’t have as many academic problems (as previous years),” Saylor said. “This is the most highly academic team I’ve been around, which shows something. Our team just doesn’t have the academic issues it’s had in the past.”

More recently, CMU’s football team reported a 941 APR, and men’s basketball team posted a 940, ranking ninth and eighth, respectively, in the MAC for the 2010-11 year.

Despite the low ranking, both coaches said they expect CMU to improve

REIMERS/O’CONNOR| CONTINUED FROM 1A Reimers and O’Connor said after consulting students, they have also identified campus dining as an area that needs improvement. They said they will pursue better food labeling for vegetarian and vegan options and will explore options to lower waste and extend hours of operation.

O’Connor, a Croswell senior, said some of these are easy fixes.

“Especially the labeling issue. If someone has an allergy and (isn’t) sure if they’re able to eat something, it’s a huge problem that could be fixed by a sticker,” O’Connor said.

O’Connor said while

tuition is the most important student concern, it is not something the SGA can directly address. He said his ticket will address the issue by pursuing increased scholarship and endowment funds.

“While we can’t lower actual tuition, we can work for student scholarships and sit on those committees and bring in more money for (them),” O’Connor said.

“That’s something every student can support.”

O’Connor said his main focus as vice president will be to address the disorganization that is still plaguing the organization.

“While I don’t agree that

had a Blank Firing Adapter put on to ensure safety.

“The weapons don’t fire anything, but are just meant to keep everything as realistic as possible,” Prueter said.

Cadets had to stay on their toes when it came to their weapon, because if the gun was not within an arms length, a senior cadet would come take it.

The first squad tactical exercise the cadets would perform after being split up among other university ROTC cadets was land navigation.

“We give them grid coordinates, a map, protractor and a compass, and with those items, they plot where they are and how to get to each destination point,” Grabow said. “Everyone is given a briefing and the area they should be working in.”

From there, cadets are given an extra 15 minutes to plot out their grid points before their time begins, where they have three hours to find the five grid points while it’s dark, using a flashlight with a red filter only.

Carson City Military Science senior and cadet captain Weston Waldron explained the exercise best as finding a needle in a haystack when it is dark.

“It’s always a good idea to spend extra time on it, because if you mess one up, you might mess up the others, too,” Waldron said.

With the addition of snow and mud, it was the prickers that came into play, with several cadets coming back with scratches on their hands and faces.

Standish Military Science sophomore Karina Pierce had plenty of experience with the when more recent results are available.

Taking an even bigger stand, Davis said he expects even more from the men’s basketball team.

“I think in the future, we should be No. 1 in the APR, in GPA and in graduation rate,” Davis said. “My goal isn’t to just improve, but to be at the top. My goal is to be the top athletically, as well.”

Davis said half of the team’s scholarship students hold at least a 3.5 GPA, which is the future he envisions for the program.

Last semester, the team’s average GPA was 3.19, compared to the 2.60 a season before.

“Let’s say that I was president next year, and the academic calendar was proposed — that would have been a different process,” Schuler said. “I wouldn’t have just rallied the troops in SGA and said this probably isn’t good for the SGA. We would have talked it through with the administration; we would have tried to work more collaboratively on that.”

Hollis said even though she has no experience in the SGA, her experience being a teaching assistant in the political science department and her study of internal affairs will make for a quick transition to SGA vice president.

“I have a good idea of how government works, so the student government shouldn’t be too big of a challenge for me,” Hollis said.

Although he said he can’t completely reform SGA’s culture in one year, Schuler said his administration plans to make progress.

“Most students probably don’t know what SGA is or know as much as they should about it,” Schuler said. “But changing the culture of it from the top, making it more open to diversity of opinion, I think will put it in the direction of making it more inclusive widely.”

where they are evaluated and walk through what was done right and wrong,” Prueter said.

“The focus of this weekend is understanding operations orders, executing STX lanes and patrolling. It’s more for getting the realistic experience.”

There were two ambush sites the cadets took part in, where they were to set up along a road and for opposing forces to walk through the kill zone.

The opposing forces were more often than not portrayed by a senior cadet, wearing black, who had already participated in CFTX last year, Prueter said.

The six STX lanes included movement to contact, knock out a bunker, squad attack, reconnaissance and ambush one and two.

“Recon is hard, because you don’t want to be seen or heard, and, out here, it is really impossible to do,” Prueter said.

“These lanes are only two hours; in real life, recon lasts a lot longer.”

On the bus ride home, all but three cadets were fast asleep, some taking positions that would normally be accomplished by contortionists only.

The main objective for the cadets was to learn to trust someone and establish a working relationship.

As the bus carrying the cheering CMU cadets pulled in front of Finch Fieldhouse around 6 p.m. on Sunday, the main objective was met and completed.

outdoors and was allowed to team up for land navigation because she was not a junior.

“We found three out of five grid points,” Pierce said. “Probably could have found the fourth one, but we wouldn’t have made it back in time.”

Pierce and her fellow cadets received blisters from some of the boots that had not been broken in yet. This was a regular occurrence for some of the cadets.

With five hours of sleep a night, Pierce was not complaining, even when it came to the quality of the mattress.

“They don’t bother me; if you’re tired, then you’ll pass out right away,” Pierce said, smiling down at the mattress.

“At least I’m not outside in the cold.”

After cadets from each university were divided evenly into Area Operations with names such as AO Chip and AO Eagle, the cadets were able to meet one another before braving the harsh terrain together.

“It’s actually been really nice with cadets from other schools,” Pierce said. “They’re on the same level, and we get all the same training, so it’s easy to incorporate and train together.”

On Saturday, each squad was given small missions, where they might be requested to knock out a bunker, to recon an area or to conduct an ambush.

Each squad was given an operations order for the lane, where they simulate gunfire, as well as searching the enemy after they have been terminated, Prueter said.

“It’s a learning experience,

I know the solution to the SGA’s problems, I know that I can fix them,” O’Connor said. “SGA reform needs to happen. We need to function better so these projects and other student projects can be pushed through.”

Reimers said the accusation that her platform goals are only pet projects done for personal interests is not an accurate representation of her platform.

“We have these projects, but we also want to hear what students want to say,” Reimers said. “That’s something that we’re really going to push in our administration and our campaign.”

NEW VENTURE COMPETITION

Standardized patient simulation center opens

$65,000 in prize money awarded

By Jackson Seedott Staff reporter

University Editor university@cm-life.com

Monday, March 25, 2013

CMED

The Central Michigan University College of Medicine celebrated the grand opening of the standardized patient and clinical simulation center Friday.

The center has two major components: the standardized patient center and the simulation center.

The standardized patient center consists of people portraying a patient who experiences various symptoms and illnesses. The purpose of the center is to improve communication skills with patients, bedside manner and finding diagnoses for different ailments, while the simulation center uses robotic-like mannequins and will allow medical students to perform interventions, as well as gain clinical practice and experience.

Steven Vance, a fixedterm faculty member with the College of Medicine, said the center will provide unique learning experiences for medical students.

“The purpose of this center is to use simulationbased methods to interact with patients and perform procedures to treat acute life threats in a safe learning environment,” Vance said.

“We want to train our medical students in a professional environment.”

The total cost allotment, aside from construction costs for the simulation center, was about $1.5 million.

This amount includes all of the simulation equipment, mannequins and medical equipment students will use to treat patients in the simulation center.

Vance said he hopes the simulation center will help develop the teamwork skills of future medical students.

“Our goal is for students to work in teams and develop skills (that) are paramount to patient care,” he said.

While the primary purpose of the simulation center is to train medical students, Vance said he also sees the center serving the university and non-medical students by holding different classes and workshops.

“We held a CPR course (on Friday), which was offered free for students as part of our grand opening,” Vance said.

The majority of medical schools in the state of Michigan have a similar simulation center, and the popularity of such centers has continued to grow as advances in technology and research allow for more innovative teaching methods.

The center will be located inside the CMED building, in room 2404.

ISLAND OF THE UNDEAD Students use bizarre intellectual challenge event to raise money for charity

By Ryan Fitzmaurice | Senior reporter

Clinton Township junior Alexandra Cusmano persevered through all the challenges, surviving hoards of the undead every second of the way.

Some challenges were easier than others, she had just the touch for the egg toss, where she and another participant had to successfully toss an egg back and forth 15 times. She almost didn’t survive the puzzle, which challenged participants to piece together wooden pieces into a 3D shape. Its intellectual bend caused more of a challenge.

But, it was the final round, where contestants who survived the six challenges had to avoid zombies while waiting for a helicopter to take them to safely.

“Other people had a better strategy,” Cusmano said.

“They made it there earlier, before all of the zombies got there.”

Island of the Undead, held in Island Park Friday, was put on by a group of students from RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events. RPL 430 students are given the assignment to pick a charity of their choice, develop an event to raise money for that charity and gain support for the event.

Roughly 50 contestants like Cusmano were challenged

West Branch Junior Melissa Deyarmond chases Monroe junior Bryan Wallace Friday afternoon at the Zombie Survival Challenge at Island Park.

to survive through six deadly challenges while avoiding the endless pursuits of their zombie counterparts. Other challenges included trivia, where contestants had to answer questions while dodging the attacks of the undead.

One of the most twisted challenges required participants to search through a bucket of tomato soup and green beans for pennies at the bottom.

If eaten by a zombie, which occurred if one of the zombies pulled a contestant’s flag, contestants had the ability to buy an extra life by donating $1, which went toward the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen. The group, in total,

raised $475.

Kaitlyn Horton, who helped organize the event, said with the re-emergence of zombies in popular culture, the group knew a zombie event was the right choice.

“With ‘The Walking Dead’s’ popularity right now, we knew that this was something students would be interested in,” the Plainwell junior said. “It was just a good time for it.”

The contestants who survived the final helicopter round won a number of prizes, such as a gift card from Max and Emily’s and free movie tickets to Celebration Cinema.

Joel Putnam was one of the zombies at the event, feasting on an entire six people

throughout the event. The Warren senior said he modeled his performance after “The Walking Dead” and used a recipe of corn starch to attain the zombie look.

He said the event was more appealing than he thought it was going to be.

“It was different,” Putnam said. “It wasn’t just the same thing ... I really liked what the challenges brought to the competition. I had a lot of fun.”

Cusmano agreed.

“I had a blast,” Cusmano said. “I didn’t expect it to be nearly as much fun as it was.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Students, area residents celebrate annual ‘Pow Wow’

By Charnae Sanders Senior reporter

charlotte boDaK/StAFF photoGrApher

Sault Saint Marie resident Miisheen Shawanda, 14, dances during the junior men’s traditional dance Saturday afternoon during the Central Michigan University Pow Wow in McGuirk Arena.

Vibrant dance, drums and Native American pride filled the atmosphere inside McGuirk Arena this weekend at Central Michigan University’s 24th annual Pow Wow. Students, Mount Pleasant residents and attendees from all over Michigan celebrated Native American heritage at the Pow Wow. Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, Central Michigan University Native American Programs and several other CMU organizations sponsored the event.

The Pow Wow continued with its reoccurring theme, ‘Celebrating Life.’ “‘Celebrating Life’ is celebrating life: Being active, energetic and living your life to the fullest and doing that with your family,”

said Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs.

The event kicked off with a grand entry. The audience was told to stand as veterans, dancers and several others participating in the event walked in as singers and drummers filled the arena with music. The drum is said to symbolize the heartbeat of the Pow Wow. “It is the heart of it,” Kasey McCullough, Sault St. Marie junior and member of the Hannahville Indian Community, said.

“There isn’t a beat for any of the dancers to dance to if there isn’t a drum. So, it’s kind of like the life of the Pow Wow ceremony.”

Green said the students of the Pow Wow committee and volunteers coordinated the event, while she acted as adviser.

“When it all comes together, it really reflects back on our CMU

students,” Green said. “... Volunteers coming together, bringing a wonderful welcoming environment for our Native nations throughout the country.”

Junior Miranda Randle said the event encouraged people to open themselves up to different cultures.

“I feel like the best way to learn about something is to experience it,” the Gladwin native said. “ ...

You learn so much just by absorbing it and being here.”

Randle said she loved to see the celebration of culture.

“I wish that I had that strength of culture,” Randle said. “I just think it’s so cool being on this campus and just being able to come to this spot and see so many people passionate about their culture.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University was the home of the third-annual Michigan New Venture Competition over the weekend.

More than 20 teams from six colleges across Michigan, representing 33 majors of study, competed Friday in the competition, earning cash prizes to continue their business ventures.

By the end of the day, $65,000 in prize money was awarded to groups in various categories such as Best Pitch, Best Technology and Best Social Venture. The competition’s final round was judged by business professionals such as Isabella Bank President and CEO Rick Barz and Royal Bank of Canada’s Managing Director and Global Head of Assets Jon Voigtman.

Flushing-area business Solar Cycle Lights, LLC won the top prize of $30,000 for Best Overall Venture.

Upland Nanotech LLC, founded by Michigan Technological University students, won the $500 second-place award for Best Pitch and the Highest Growth Potential award of $10,000.

The company’s founder, Thomas Daunais, said the company of three employees won for its pitch showcasing their development of a rapid sensing technology used for food pathogen detection and drug level concentration that has the ability to yield results within 20 minutes.

“The first thing we’re going to do is going to take the winnings and leverage another $55,000 out of it,” he said. “We’ll use the $65,000 we’ll have to make an E. coli sensor prototype.”

He said the competition, attended by many business and industry professionals, helped his group network and get others to believe in their idea.

“We got feedback from the judges that we have an interesting concept, a solid business plan and an overall very intriguing technology,” Daunais said.

Another MTU company also took home prize money.

Northern Aquaponics, started last year and specializing in growing plants and raising fish in indoor environments, won the $10,000 award for Best Technology.

The company of four’s co-founder Josh Krugh said the caliber of the judges was surprising and their feedback was helpful.

“There were so many people there willing and able to help all of us,” Krugh said. “It was definitely a rare opportunity to be in a room full of so many successful businessmen and women.”

He said Northern Aquaponics will use their prize money to grow partnerships and company business models.

Associate Director of the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship Robbie Roberts said it is not just the pitch that puts a business on the path to success.

“It takes the whole package to win,” Roberts said. “The desire, the fortitude and the presentation skills (are all needed).” university@cm-life.com

There is nothing particularly notable about sidewalks in the 64.7 miles of sidewalk throughout the city.

But this will soon change: in 2014, rather than continuing to repair sidewalks, under its fiveyear capital improvement plan, Mount Pleasant has budgeted $100,000 for new sidewalks from 2014-17.

Unfortunately, this means there will be no more new sidewalks in 2013. This year, the city has $92,750 to use toward repairs

as well as an additional $40,000 leftover from last year’s budget. Most of this will go toward repairing handicap accessible ramps, and it should.

While a few cracks in the sidewalk are bothersome, handicap accessible ramps are more important. So, while it would be nice if the city could add new sidewalks this year, it is nice to know they have their priorities straight.

While sidewalks might not seem to be something worth a significant amount of funding, it is important to keep in mind that

Maybe it’s all just madness

[ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ]

Pow-Wow lacked depth In all honesty, attending the Pow-Wow fell short of my expectations for the main reason of an absence of education. To elaborate, the opening ceremony and description of why the Pow-Wow is held at CMU seemed very vague and lacked depth. It was stated in the introduction that “we must learn from our history,” but what

does that mean? Yes, horrible injustices occurred in the past, but it is not merely history. Today, many acts of inequalities among the indigenous communities still occur, primarily in terms of coal and oil extraction, women’s rights and environmental racism. I feel that as college students and citizens in general, we should be informed

about the horrid practices that are still continuing today. Perhaps this was not the venue to discuss current human rights violations, but I think it is unfair and offensive on many levels to portray displaced and marginalized native populations as a thing of the past.

[ YOUR VOICE ] Online reader reactions to the March 20 “MOVIE REVIEW: “Oz The Great and Powerful” appeals to all ages” story Saw this movie yesterday, was not impressed. For starters, the two wicked witches used for this role, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz, were totally wrong for this part. I’m sure they are great actresses, but when you are trying to give a back history to a classic film like this, you could at least try to find someone who has a similar look or flair that can compete with Margaret Hamilton.

These two don’t even come close, nor do I see any resemblance to the wicked witch from the classic film other than the green skin.

Not convinced that James Franco, who played Oz was also fit for this part. His lines were terrible. The only thing the castors got right was Michelle Williams ,who plays Glinda the good witch. She is spot on and perfect for this role. Midgets were disappointing, as they were introduced as a jazzy dance scene to then be interrupted by Oz. I enjoyed the graphics; they were great, and so were the flying baboons, but this would not be so great that I would recommend anyone to run and see this film.

A 4 out of 5 stars for this film is highly overrated. I give it a 2.5.

He should get the maximum penalty as well as extensive mental health care.

there are 64.7 miles of sidewalk in Mount Pleasant.

We use sidewalks more than we think. After all, this is a college town. Students use them to walk to class to work and to places around town — at least in theory.

That’s why it’s wise that the city is investing in them. If nothing else, new sidewalks could mean at least a small boost in business for the restaurants and shopping places around town.

Students without cars might be more inclined to take a stroll through town to find a place to

eat or to shop, and students with cars that are turned off by high gas prices would be able to more easily find their way around town without driving.

And don’t forget about the they present when it comes to the environment, too. By making it easier to walk around town, you can cut down on the number of automobiles — like the streets around town aren’t busy enough during the school year — on the road. As a result, we would lower the amount of fumes that travel into the air.

But regardless of the positives that more sidewalks bring, it’s nice to see the city show commitment to investing in them again.

Even if it just means residents don’t have to walk on grass or dirt to get to where they have to go.

In all fairness, sifting through the self-pubs to find something even passable (let alone good) takes a lot of time, and it sounds as though the author doesn’t have any. I have given it up. I’d rather pay the too-high price and get something that I’m fairly sure is of decent quality.

Have you ever wanted something so badly that you would go to any limit to get it?

Many people have dreams and goals they work hard for, striving for years to reach them, but sadly, some cheat the system.

According to The Washington Post, parents experience this effect more so than their children.

Deep down, every parent wants the best for their kids, and sometimes that means crossing the line. According to the article, University of California freshman basketball star Shabazz Muhammad (a hot pick for the NBA) is not the age of your average freshman student.

Muhammad claimed to be a 19-year-old born in Nevada, until investigations were done and a birth certificate presented a birth that was one year earlier in Long Beach Memorial Hospital, which ultimately makes him 20 years old.

Muhammad’s father, Ron Holmes, repeatedly insisted that his son was 19, but, in one instance, he reportedly admitted to him being 20.

It is clear Muhammad is a skilled player, and it is also clear he has more experience than a freshman typically would. This does not mean he has not put in a great amount of hard work to get where he is today; however, it indeed proves how Muham-

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter mad’s father has spent a lifetime of obsessing over the idea of his son being in the NBA. I think it is a shame. What person wants to grow up already having their life planned out for them?

Why do parents feel the need to become this obsessed with their children’s lives?

I am not saying that being involved in your child’s life is a problem by any means, but there is a fine line that determines when a parent is starting to intrude, and the saddest thing is that there are plenty of other parents who are exactly like this. I am extremely grateful for growing up with parents who have been incredibly supportive with my life choices, and I could not imagine it being any other way.

Despite the fact that Muhammad has been seen on TV multiple times and might have a chance to enter the NBA, I do not wish to have a life that is planned out for me or parents who make my life decisions. That is just madness.

Myths of being a married college student

Krysta Loftis Staff Reporter I am like every other college student at Central Michigan University, only married.

I married my boyfriend of three years at the beginning of my sophomore year.

When I tell people that I am a married, 20-year-old student, they often look at me like I am completely crazy.

Usually, people make assumptions about a married student, assumptions that are far from the truth.

One question I get often is, “If you are married, why are you in school?”

Just because I am married does not mean I do not have dreams of my own. And this is not 1952, when married women were commonly housewives. I want a degree and a career.

Another one that we both get a lot is, “Don’t you get tired of spending every moment together?”

Who said anything about spending every moment together? I certainly did not sign up for that.

We are both full-time college students with different focuses, meaning we are usually on the opposite sides of campus all day.

We both work, and we are members of Greek organiza-

tions, so a lot of our nights are taken up, too.

Our days are usually jam-packed with commitments. There are some days, usually on the weekend, when we go to dinner and a movie together. We see each other every night and every morning, but we are nowhere close to spending every moment with each other.

My favorite question people ask me, and I get it more often than I ever expected I would, is, “Don’t you ever miss having fun?”

Well, no, because I never stopped having fun.

Despite what movies and books seem to think, marriage is not a death sentence.

We are young, and we love to go out and have fun, whether together or separately.

I recently got home from a weekend road trip with my sorority sisters. It was a lot of fun and the perfect “girls weekend.” My husband kissed me goodbye and told me to have fun.

He often goes out with his friends and has adventures of his own, too.

A lot of people compare marriage to jail time. This is not true.

We love spending time with each other, but we love to spend time with our friends, too.

We can go out together and have just as much fun as we do with our friends. The only difference now is that we never have to worry about not having a great dance partner.

We heard a lot of questions and opinions when we got married, and we still get them six months later.

The fact is, we are just like you and your boyfriend or girlfriend, only we wear rings on our left hands.

Women’s basketball season ends with 78-73 loss to Oklahoma, despite Bradford’s monster effort

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Sophomore guard Crystal Bradford did all she could.

The six-foot sophomore from Detroit scored a Central Michigan tournament record 36 points, hauled down 14 rebounds and recorded nine steals, but the Chippewas (21-12) fell to Oklahoma 7873 in an NCAA tournament first- round game in Columbus, Ohio Saturday afternoon.

Central Michigan head coach Sue Guevara yells commands to players during the game against No. 6 Oklahoma on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. No. 11 CMU lost 78-73.

Many players stood out and contributed for the women’s basketball team in order to get where it ended the season.

When it came to on-floor leadership, the team looked to the seniors, and they all showed up in crucial moments throughout the season.

Seniors Brandie Baker, Jessica Schroll and Jalisa Olive all contributed greatly to their team’s success.

“Credit to Brandie Baker, our senior, she played hard, and I’m going to miss her at the point guard spot,” sophomore guard Crystal Bradford said. “She was an all-around good guard.”

Baker finished her CMU career as one of the most accomplished players ever in program history, both offensively and defensively.

Her career included 1,281 points, which ranks 10th all-time in program history.

She was also great both being a facilitator and defensive presence. Baker had 440 assists, good for third in program history, along

Senior leadership helped pave the way with 196 steals and 82 blocks, which are both tied for fifth. Baker is the only player in program history with at least 1,000 points, 700 rebounds, 400 assists and 150 steals.

Olive was a strong defensive presence and offensive spark off the bench for CMU. She was able to come into the game, slow it down and get her team back into an offensive rhythm while providing some stingy defense.

That defense held opponents to an average of 65.2 points per game this season, while also forcing a total of 360 steals and blocking 149 shot attempts. Statistically, this was one of the best seasons defensively in program history.

Guevara said this season was one of progression, especially on defense, and overall was happy with the way things went this year.

“For anyone that has seen us play, (defense) has been a big, big change, and that’s a really good thing,” Guevara said. “We did a lot of really good things this year.”

Gymnastics splits fourth-straight MAC title with rival Western

By Emily Grove Senior Reporter

Rule books were scoured, points were recalculated, coaches paced.

And by the end of a confusing day Saturday, the Central Michigan gymnastics team left Kalamazoo as Mid-American Conference champions.

CMU took home the title for the fourth consecutive year, but this year shared the title with rival Western Michigan University.

“Four in a row is just an incredible feeling,” head coach Jerry Reighard said. “It’s a real testimony to the young ladies that are in our gym every single day. It’s really an answer to prayer. My entire team, my coaching staff and probably most of our crowd were really instrumental in guiding us and helping us to get to this point.”

Both teams scored a 194.8, with Kent State coming in close behind for second place with a 194.775.

As the competition ended, it appeared that Kent State had claimed the title with a 195, but that score was later revised.

With the realization that the Chippewas and Broncos were now bumped to first place, coaches and officials frantically searched for information on how to break a tie, but there was no rule to be found.

The day didn’t look promising for CMU in the beginning, facing difficulties on the bars as CMU got off to a slow start.

But, by their third event, the Chippewas were ready to add some heat to the mix and show they weren’t throwing in the towel.

The Chippewas dominated the floor exercise, scoring a season-high 49.350 in the event.

Halle Moraw anchored her team with her nearly flawless 9.950 MAC Championship title-winning performance.

Taylor Bolender started things in the right direction for the Chippewas with a 9.85, after struggling earlier in the day on bars.

Emily Heinz followed Bolender’s performance with a 9.825, and Becca Druien was next with a 9.8.

Emily LaFontaine only managed to score a 9.825, though one of the four judges awarded her a perfect ten.

“Emily was phenomenal,” Reighard said. “She got that ten from one judge, and I had no deductions, so I wasn’t surprised by the ten. I’m just in awe that you can get a ten from one judge but not even get a 9.9 from another.”

CMU women to look for more next season from returning seniors

Senior guard Jessica Schroll looks to pass against No. 6 Oklahoma during the NCAA tournament game on Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. No. 11 CMU lost 78-73.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL | CONTINUED FROM 1B The win was not an easy one for the No. 6 seed Sooners.

“CMU gave us all we wanted and then some,” OU head coach Sherri Coale said. “Crystal Bradford was unbelievable; she was all over the floor.”

Time and time again, the Chippewas fought to within four points of the lead, and time and time again, the gritty Sooners beat them back.

Trailing by eleven with 3:10 left in the game, the Chippewas refused to give up, battling back to make the score 73-68 with 1:06 to go and had a chance to move within two.

But junior guard Niki DiGuilio’s three-point attempt rimmed out. OU made its free throws down the stretch to secure its spot in the second round.

“We kept battling back,” head coach Sue Guevara said. “We did a lot of really good things this year, and I couldn’t be prouder of the effort we gave today.”

Bradford scored the first seven points for the Chippewas, giving them a 7-6 lead at the first media timeout.

From there, the Chippewas got sloppy, turning the ball over three times, leading to thirteen-straight points for Oklahoma, which made it 20-10 with 11:15 to go in the first half.

Three-point shooting from Bradford and DiGuilio kept CMU close as OU led it 27-23 with 6:34 to go in the half.

A pair of free throws by junior forward Taylor Johnson cut the OU lead to 34-29 with 3:37 to go.

The Sooners closed the first half with back-to-backto-back three-point shots by senior Joanna McFarland, junior Morgan Hook and freshman Nicole Kornet made it 43-34 heading to the locker room.

The Chippewas opened the second half on a 7-2 run to make it 45-41 with 17:51 to go in the game.

A free throw by Bradford got CMU within three, 52-49, with 13:42 to go, but the Sooners would again pull away on the back of its leading scorer Aaryn Ellenberg.

After scoring just four points in the first half, the junior from Las Ve-

GYMNASTICS | CONTINUED FROM 1B With four-straight 9.8s or better from her teammates, Brittany Petzold had the Chippewa supporters on their feet when she upped the ante with a 9.9.

Vault was the next best event of the day for CMU, scoring a total of 48.825.

Druien, Petzold, Tori Garcia and Meaghan McWhorter all scored a 9.775.

“I was not pleased with vaulting. I knew what was on the line,” Reighard said.

“I spared no words to the team. I said, ‘you have to stick; you have to get in for

no deductions,’ and none of our athletes did. It was a disappointing time.”

The day got off to a rough start for the Chippewas, with the first two gymnasts falling on the uneven bars.

Taylor Bolender’s routine with a low score of 8.950 was tossed out, but CMU was forced to count Taylor Noonan’s 9.075.

Druien turned it around, following Noonan with a 9.650, while Kylie Fagan led the event for her team, scoring a 9.825.

When the team moved

also providing offense; whether it was a jumper in the lane, a layup in the paint or a three. She was named an All-MAC Honorable Mention as well as being named to the All-MAC Tournament team.

The season began with tough non-conference match-ups that ultimately led to the experience needed for a Mid-American Conference tournament championship and an appearance in the NCAA tournament.

Although the season might have ended a little sooner

CONTINUED FROM 1B A big reason for the defensive improvement was due to Schroll.

Schroll came into this season as a transfer from Iowa State and, after sitting out the first eight games due to transfer regulations, came on strong for the team.

Defensively, Schroll provided a solid option for the team, guarding the opponents’ best players, while

gas knocked down threestraight three-point shots to extend the OU lead to 58-49 with 11:32 to go.

But CMU would not go away. The pressure defense forced several OU turnovers, allowing them to get back into the game and make their final push.

OU committed 24 turnovers in the game compared to just seven for the Chippewas.

“OU had people who came in and made shots for them in the second half,” Guevara said. “We did a nice job on Ellenberg in the first half, changing up defenses on her.”

In addition to Bradford’s monster game, DiGuilio added ten points. Senior guard Brandie Baker scored 12 points in her final game at CMU. Guard Jalisa Olive and forward Jessica Schroll also played in their final game for the Chippewas.

“I had a bunch of warriors this year,” Guevara said. “The schedule we played got us battled tested for today. As a coach, you can only ask that your players give you everything they have, and today they did.

Our kids played with a lot of heart.”

Despite losing three key players, women’s basketball will return many key pieces in gearing up for another run at the Mid-American Conference championship and NCAA tournament.

The three players that the Chippewas lose include guards Brandie Baker and Jalisa Olive and forward Jessica Schroll, but returning are sophomores Jas’Mine Bracey, Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green.

Senior leadership will come from forward Taylor Johnson and guard Niki DiGuilio, and DiGuilio wasn’t shy to show how confident she is for next season.

“Everyone who played us (this season) better watch out next season,” DiGuilio said.

Although they didn’t get a lot of playing time this season, other seniors will include guard Kylie Welch and forward Jordan LaDuke, and they will be looked upon for more next season.

This team has a strong core coming back, and a big part of that core is Johnson. She was a force both offensively and rebounding this season.

Johnson provided an aggressive intensity on defense and an ability to score either from outside or inside.

In the 29 games played during the regular season, she scored in double figures in 15 of them, including a career-high 25 points against Northern Illinois on Jan. 19.

She finished fourth on the team in scoring average (8.5) and third in rebounds per game with 5.5.

DiGuilio was one of the best shooters on the team this season, giving the Chippewas a threat from three-point range.

She was also a good floor manager, always looking for her teammates to get open shots.

Shooting threes has always been DiGuilio’s specialty, as she made 63 shots this season from long-range. This included a game on Dec. 17 against Robert Morris where she went seven for nine from long-range, ending the game with a season-high 22 points.

Bracey provided the toughness and ability to match up with the other team’s biggest players inside. She grabbed 52 offensive rebounds this season and a total of 140. On Feb. 10 against Buffalo, she had a career-game, scoring 18 points to go along with seven rebounds.

A 49.1 field goal percentage for Bracey led the team this season, as well as a 4.9 rebound average, which was fourth.

Before losing her season to an ACL injury on Feb. 20 against Western Michigan,

Green was the leader on the court for the Chippewas as she started 22 of the 25 games she played in at the point guard spot. She can do a little bit of everything, which includes stealing the basketball and finding her teammates for open shots.

Green had 56 steals this season, as well as 64 assists.

She was second on the team in steals and fourth in assists.

Bradford continued her success from her freshman season and, once again, led the way for her team this season.

She led her team in scoring average per game (16.1), rebounds per game (9.9), steals (2.3) and blocked shots with 1.8 per game. Her season also concluded with 531 points, third most in program history in one season along with 217 made field goals, which is a

than expected for this team, it brought forth an intensity seen all season; whether it was grabbing rebounds, attacking the basket or being physical with its opponent.

Looking ahead to next season, Bradford said she already has a clear plan in mind when preparing for next year.

“Anything goes, and everyone is going to be a threat,” Bradford said.

“That’s the plan for next year and to be back on this big stage.” sports@cm-life.com

to beam after a bye, things didn’t pick up right away for the Chippewas.

Preslee Harrald was up first in the event, and, although she never fell, it was apparent that Harrald was struggling to stay on throughout her routine and only scored a 9.275.

Petzold again was the turning point, scoring a 9.75 to get CMU out of its slump.

“Coach always says it’s not over until the end, and each one of us believed that,” junior Brittany Petzold said. “We didn’t think it was over. We knew if we did our gymnastics and our skills we’d win.”

new single-season record.

Progression was key for Bradford as she used her improved defensive talents to open up her offense. She became a much more balanced player this season, and it showed on the stat line night in and night out. She had 15 double-doubles this year, including 12 games in which she scored at least 20 points.

Head coach Sue Guevara said she was proud of Bradford this season watching her progress defensively and giving a total effort each game.

“I think what I’m so happy for about Crystal is her defense,” Guevara said. “She gets it. I couldn’t ask for anything more out of her than what she gave us. She gave us everything she had.”

Chippewas finish 18th at nationals

All-around sophomore Halle Moraw hugs teammate Emily Heinz after Moraw’s impressive floor routine during the MAC tournament at Western Michigan in the University Arena. Moraw scored a 9.950 claiming the MAC championship title winning performance.

Halle Moraw ‘floors’ judges, wins title

By Emily Grove Senior Reporter

KALAMAZOO — A promise repeated for months from a coach to his athlete was fulfilled at Saturday’s Mid-American Conference gymnastics championships.

When sophomore Halle Moraw left Western Michigan University, not only was she part of the four-consecutive MAC gymnastics championship team, she took home a trophy of her own.

With a dazzling, 9.995 scoring performance, Moraw claimed the MAC championships floor title.

“I can’t believe I’m floor champ,” Moraw said. “Jerry (Reighard) told me he would make me floor champion and he did, and I’m so thankful for that.”

With the Central Michigan gymnastics team off to a shaky start in the competition, sophomore Moraw said her mindset didn’t change when she headed to her favorite event.

Her team came alive during floor, scoring 9.8s left and right, and then it was time for Moraw to perform.

She was the anchor, hoping to give her team a final push,

and she didn’t disappoint.

“I was really pumped for floor because we had such a good lineup before that,” Moraw said. “It was easy; I didn’t have to worry about anything. It was just perfect.”

Head coach Jerry Reighard said the stellar performances he witnessed from his team on the floor were a rare time where he got to sit back and simply enjoy the moments.

Reighard said he had a smile on his face for all six of his competitors.

But the biggest smile might have crept in when Reighard talked about Moraw clinching the title.

“Halle did a great job,” Reighard said. “I’ve been telling Halle since last September, ‘you’re going to be floor champion,’ and there were some days where I think we both doubted that. But to just keep pushing through, I mean, we have rearranged her routine at least four different times to get to a 9.995.”

Moraw wasn’t the only gymnast from CMU to excel at the championships.

At the end of the meet, junior Brittany Petzold was named MAC Co-Gymnast of the Year.

Petzold, the 2012 all-

around title winner, just missed taking home the title for the second year, finishing .050 behind first place with a 39.200.

“I think I did really well overall,” Petzold said. “There were a few mistakes I could have done better on. Floor was definitely my best.”

Petzold came in second place overall on floor, scoring a 9.9 to tie with two other competitors.

Although she couldn’t pull off an all-around title victory two years in a row, Reighard said Petzold should be proud of all she’s accomplished.

“If people only knew what she’s gone through in the last 12 months, most athletes would not be competing, and they certainly wouldn’t be doing the all-around,” Reighard said. “My hat’s off to her. She did an incredible job.”

Other notable scores for the Chippewas include Moraw, fellow sophomore Taylor Noonan and junior Emily Heinz, all scoring 9.8s and tying for second place on beam.

Sophomore Kylie Fagan came in third overall on the uneven bars, scoring 9.825. sports@cm-life.com

Ben Bennett, Jarod Trice receive All-American honors at NCAA

By Ryan Solecki Staff Reporter

Wrestling has a four-time All-American for the first time in program history after senior 184-pounder Ben Bennett earned a 1-0 win on Friday.

Joining him as an AllAmerican was senior heavyweight Jarod Trice, who earned the honor for the third time, only the fourth Chippewa to reach that feat.

Bennett won his match up against Jimmy Sheptock of Maryland, 1-0, to put himself into the semifinals and separate himself as the only four-time All-American in program history. However, that is where Bennett’s success in the NCAA tournament would end, as he lost in the semifinal.

“We have a competitive program with such high expectations that sometimes ac-

complishments like these get swept under the rug,” head coach Tom Borrelli said.

Bennett was up against Lehigh’s Robert Hamlin, who Bennett is 2-2 against in his career. Hamlin would earn an early take down to put himself up 2-0 and eventually win the dual with a 3-2 decision to give Bennett his first loss of the season. Bennett would wrestle in the consolation round against Ethan Lofthouse of Iowa on Saturday and win 3-1 but would lose in the third-place match against Steve Bosak 2-0, giving him a fourth-place finish.

“It’s almost like it’s not a big accomplishment, but it is,” Borrelli said. “Just shows how competitive we are when kids are disappointed with being (fourth) in the country.”

After Trice lost to An-

thony Nelson of Minnesota in the quarterfinals, 1-0, he was then matched up with Joe Stolfi to try to gain his All-American status. Trice would do just that, with a 7-3 decision against Stolfi of Bucknell.

After Trice beat Stolfi, he then went on to beat Matthew Gibson of Iowa State 3-0 to advance to consolation semifinals against conference foe Dom Bradley of Missouri.

Trice would lose to Bradley 5-2 and again in the fifth-place match, 3-1, to Zac Thomusseit of Pittsburgh, giving him a sixthplace finish.

The All-American honors made it the ninth time in the last 10 years that multiple wrestlers represented CMU. sports@cm-life.com

Four players battling for starting quarterback job in spring practice

Baseball loses two of three against Buffalo

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Baseball lost two of three games against Buffalo to open Mid-American Conference play over the weekend after blowing a lead in game one and getting blown out in game three.

Friday’s game against the Bulls was cancelled due to winter weather, forcing a doubleheader on Sunday.

The Chippewas won the first game 4-3, scoring two runs in the eighth inning to secure the win.

“I thought we responded very well in the first game after losing Saturday night,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “Pat Kaminska threw really well for us and, coming from behind, gave us a big emotional win.”

However, the Bulls used a five-run fifth inning to win game two of the doubleheader 7-0.

CMU was shut out in the series finale by UB junior right-handed pitcher Mike Burke. Burke allowed just three hits and struck out 10 Chippewas in the complete game victory.

“I think it was more what we weren’t doing than what he was doing,” Jaksa said.

“Quite frankly, for the first time in a long time, we weren’t where we needed to be mentally in regard to our at-bats. It wasn’t a very quality game from top to bottom as far as we’re concerned.”

“Quite frankly, for the first time in a long time, we weren’t where we needed to be mentally in regard to our at-bats. It wasn’t a very quality game from top to bottom as far as we’re concerned.”

Steve Jaksa, head coach Seniors Tom Lally and Jordan Adams, along with junior Noel Santos had the three hits for the team.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Dylan Rheault got the start on the mound in place of senior Rick Dodridge, who did not make the trip to New York due to an injury.

Rheault gave up six earned runs over four-andone-third innings.

The Chippewas let a golden opportunity for a victory slip away in the series opener on Saturday night. They held a 4-0 lead heading to the bottom of the ninth inning, but the Bulls rallied for five runs off of CMU relievers Blake Louscher and Matt Trowbridge to earn the 5-4 walkoff win.

“We didn’t really do anything wrong,” Jaksa said.

“Sure, we’d like to have a couple batters back and the walks hurt you, but we won eight of the nine innings.

Baseball can be a cruel game when it comes to that.

It was a tough loss because we played very well.”

The Chippewas scored

three runs in the second inning. After Santos reached after being hit by a pitch and freshman Morgan Oliver walked, Logan Regnier tripled to right field, scoring two runs. With two outs and Regnier on third, sophomore Pat MacKenzie laid down a bunt-single, scoring the runner.

CMU added its fourth run in the top of the ninth when sophomore Nick Regnier tripled to right field, scoring his brother Logan.

Sophomore Jordan Foley started on the mound for the Chippewas and continued his strong start to the season, going seven innings and striking out 10 Bulls.

Logan Regnier was 3-for3 with two RBIs. CMU’s next game is Wednesday when it takes on in-state rival Michigan State. First pitch in East Lansing is scheduled for 3:05 p.m.

The team continues MAC play next weekend when Bowling Green comes to Theunissen Stadium Friday through Sunday. sports@cm-life.com

DICK VITALE PRAISES MICHIGAN: ‘THIS IS THE TEAM I SAW PLAY ALL SEASON’

By Brian Manzullo

Detroit Free Press(MCT) College basketball guru Dick Vitale was one of the few who had Michigan going to the Final Four in Atlanta from the get-go.

And now, two victories by a combined 40 points later, Vitale is offering kudos to the Wolverines for playing like the team that once ranked No. 1 in the country during the regular season.

One big reason? The big men, who have been critical in beating No. 13 seed South Dakota State 71-56 on Thursday and No. 5 seed VCU

78-53 on Saturday.

“Perhaps it helped Michigan playing at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Michigan is showing its true colors in the tournament,” Vitale said.

“This is the team I saw play all season.

“I’ve felt the Wolverine backcourt is the best in the nation, but it is a pair of guys up front who have dominated. Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary have put up incredible numbers over the first two games. McGary has hit 16-of-20 from the floor, while Robinson is 15-of-19.

McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds, hitting 10-of-11

from the field against VCU.” Vitale also points out that U-M shot higher than 50% over both games.

U-M began the season 16-0, going unbeaten in nonconference play, but stumbled toward the end of their Big Ten schedule, going 6-6 in their final 12 games leading up to the tournament, including 1-1 in Big Ten tourney play.

No. 4 Michigan will play No. 1 Kansas on Friday for a spot in the Elite Eight.

There have been two players in the last seven years who have predominately been designated as the starting quarterback for the football team.

But those quarterbacks, Dan LeFevour and now Ryan Radcliff, are gone, and four others are looking to fill what head coach Dan Enos considers a vital role.

“It’s the toughest position of any sport to play,” he said. “We always say the spirit of the team comes from its quarterback.”

Enos, a former quarterback at Michigan State, knows what he is looking for and said each quarterback has had his moments in spring practice.

“It comes down to decision making,” he said. “It comes down to a guy that can make plays, manage the game and, overall, be a very good leader of our program on and off the field.”

Freshman Darrien Boone, an early enrollee, is not one of the four competing for the job.

“Darrien Boone just got here, so he’s swamped right now with information,” Enos said. “We have four guys that are competing, and they’ve all been given about equal opportunity and equal reps thus far.”

Those waiting for the unveiling of the starter during the spring game might have to wait until CMU’s first game of the regular-season.

Enos did not set a time on when the starting spot would be assigned.

“Usually these things play themselves out,” he said. “They’ll get enough reps. Somebody will assert themselves and separate themselves from the group.”

Senior A.J. Westendorp, who was an AP Division 3-4 all-state first team selection as a high school quarterback, has spent most of his time at tight end at CMU and has only completed one pass in his career but is in

STARTING QUARTERBACK CANDIDATES CODY KATER 6-FOOT-3 220 LBS. JR. MONTAGUE (GRAND RAPIDS CC) “I just try to make plays. Try to get it to the play-makers. All of us, we got our capabilities, but some of us can move around a little bit more and make the plays down field, and that’s really what I’m trying to do.”

ALEX NIZNAK 6-FOOT-3 227 LBS. RSO. ITHACA (ITHACA) “I’ve been here awhile, so I think it’s just experience, watching Ryan (Radcliff) for two years has really helped me. Other than that, it’s a question of what can you create, and I think I’m pretty mobile, so when a play breaks down, I can do that. But, at the same time, I just got to get our play-makers the ball.”

A.J. WESTENDORP 6-FOOT-2 226 LBS. SR. HOLLAND (HOLLAND CHRISTIAN) “Leadership, knowledge of the offense (is what I bring to the offense). I see my job as the distributor. So, as long as I can get the ball in other people’s hands, it’s kind of my goal.”

And then once I get everything down, I can start making plays.”

the running to be a starter.

Junior Cody Kater was the only player, other than Radcliff, to throw a pass last season.

“He struggled a little bit setting his feet, throwing the ball,” Enos said. “He had a really good fall camp and a good bowl practice. I know Cody Kater continues to get better the more he’s around us.”

The most valuable experience he earned came against Navy when his cohort (Radcliff ) struggled.

He was put in with less than 11 minutes left in the game and completed two of his three passes for only 12 yards and did not convert a first down in either of the

possessions he played.

Sophomore Cooper Rush, another player vying to be the starting quarterback, was named the Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year last season because of the way he handled the role, provided leadership and gave the team a good look, Enos said.

Sophomore Alex Niznak opened eyes in the spring game last year when he threw three passes for touchdowns.

Enos said he was stricken with mono at the end of October, but he was healthy during the bowl practices and is having a good spring. sports@cm-life.com

Upsets galore, Michigan and Michigan State cruise to wins CM Life Staff Reports

Florida Gulf Coast forward Chase Fieler soared, grabbed the ball delivered by guard Brett Comer with his right hand and slammed the ball, delivering a dagger to Georgetown.

It must have also caused a cacophony of sounds away from the arena on Friday night from people crossing the Hoyas off their bracket with a sharpie to sighing after witnessing the seventh victory in tournament history from a No. 15 seed over a No. 2 seed.

The Eagles, who pulled off the biggest upset of the NCAA tournament, were one of many teams that would not spare Goliath a victory or a person an unblemished bracket.

There were six victories by teams seeded above 11 in the first round and at least

one other in the second because 12-seeded Ole Miss and 13-seeded La Salle were matched up.

The only team that seemed to escape with a close win over an underdog was Marquette.

On the first day of the NCAA tournament, No. 14seeded Davidson was not good enough to have an epic play that gave them enough room to hold on to the lead against the Golden Eagles.

MU guard Vander Blue did, though, by making a left-handed layup to give his team the 59-58 lead with one second left to win after holding a lead for only 2:07 of the second half.

According to ESPN, players were 1-for-19 (5.3 percent) on potential gametying or go-ahead shots in the final 10 seconds of games in the last two NCAA tournaments after Satur-

day’s games.

The opportunity, albeit difficult, was all because of Davidson’s unwillingness to hold on to the ball, take the foul and step to the free throw line, instead of playing hot potato up the court, which led to a turnover.

The one player who was unafraid with the ball in his hands during the second and third round of the tournament was Michigan freshman forward Mitch McGary.

It was all thanks to head coach John Beilein who started him over forward Jordan Morgan, who went from starting to receiving a minute of playing time in the round of 64 and 32.

McGary scored the first five points the Wolverines tallied in the tournament against South Dakota State and finished with 13 points and nine rebounds in their

71-56 win.

With a run-throughthe-wall mentality, he welcomed himself to the world of college basketball against undersized Virginia Commonwealth, scoring 21 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in a dominating 78-53 victory.

Wolverine counterpart, Michigan State, also advanced with ease with two wins in the Palace of Auburn Hills, marking the first time Michigan and Michigan State made it to the Sweet 16 in the same year.

The Spartans beat Valparaiso and Memphis by double-digits, and the only battle they faced was amongst themselves.

Forward Derrick Nix and guard Keith Appling got heated during a timeout in the Memphis game, swiping towels at each other.

The rest of the Big Ten was just as successful.

While five-seeded Wisconsin could not contain loquacious guard Marshall Henderson and was upset by the 12-seeded Rebels, the rest of the Big Ten was 9-1 in the NCAA Tournament after a buzzer beating win

by Ohio State on Sunday afternoon.

The Buckeyes now have the easiest path among them.

In the West Region that OSU is in, all that needs to be said is sixth-seeded Arizona is the highest-seeded opponent of OSU’s that remains.

No. 1-seeded Gonzaga lost to No. 9-seeded Wichita State 76-70, clearing the path for the Buckeyes.

Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Rooting for David There have been so many moments for the underdogs to cherish in the NCAA tournament this year.

A total of eight double-digit-seeded teams advanced to the round of 32, and at least one was guaranteed a spot in the Sweet 16 because a 12- and 13-seed squared off in the third round.

The high-flying Florida Gulf Coast, the fearless Ole Miss, led by the alwaysquotable guard Marshall Henderson, and even the so-called nerds of Harvard, got into the action.

It was all fun times.

But it was not so fun for those who created brackets and stuck by them through thick and thin.

And it is sad, because it should be.

Unless you placed a substantial dollar amount on your bracket, there is no reason anyone should be rooting against schools like La Salle, which has an enrollment of 7,927, because of their bracket.

You want to know why?

Two reasons.

First, people have always taken to David beating Goliath, and it should remain the same in the NCAA tournament.

Think about when the New York Giants in 2008 took down the New England Patriots, who had a perfect record, the Detroit Pistons defeated the mighty Los Angeles Lakers in 2004, and, I hate to go this far, when USA beat Russia in the Miracle on Ice. Now, think if someone said the teams winning devastated them because they did not have them winning in their bracket.

Secondly, there is no group of people who can sympathize more with the underdogs than those at Central Michigan University.

The school and the athletic program are David, and they are towered over by the Goliaths of Michigan and Michigan State.

Even CMU’s best athletic team, wrestling, struggles some against its counterparts.

Though the Chippewas have handled MSU easily, they are 6-20 against the Wolverines.

The Chippewas did get their first win over Michigan since 2008 at McGuirk Arena in November.

So stop dreading the moment a Final Four pick goes down and start taking satisfaction when a team, against all odds, advances.

INDIANA OUTLASTS TEMPLE TO ADVANCE TO SWEET 16

By Pete DiPrimio the news-Sentinel/MCt

DAYTON, Ohio — Big players come up with big plays at big moments.

And so there was Victor Oladipo draining a threepointer with 14 seconds left to boost top-seed Indiana to a 58-52 victory over Temple on Sunday.

The Hoosiers (29-6) advanced to next Thursday’s Sweet 16 in Washington D.C. against Syracuse (28-9).

Oladipo’s big shot came on a play set up for Cody Zeller as IU clung to a 53-52 lead.

But Zeller was defended well and he got the ball to an open Oladipo at the top of the key.

Oladipo drained it with 14 seconds left.

“When the game is in

movement and we hit Cody in the post, people get open,” Oladipo said. “I was just moving without the ball. Cody found me and I just shot it. I didn’t think about it. That’s when I struggle, when I think about shots.”

Oladipo finished with 16 points along with eight rebounds. Zeller had 15 points and six rebounds.

Temple (24-10) was led by Khalif Wyatt’s 31 points. He was held to 11 in the second half.

“It became about, if he can’t catch it, he can’t shoot it,” coach Tom Crean said.

“So let’s do everything we can to not let him get it off.”

Temple morphed into Wisconsin and a Big Ten brawl broke out. The Owls controlled pace and the boards.

They got brutally physical inside. They not only shut down IU’s fast break, they thrived with their own break.

IU blinked, then blinked again. An early nine-point Hoosier lead became a fivepoint second-half deficit.

“This was as tough a team,” Crean said, “as we’ve faced all year.”

Indiana’s response – get the ball to Zeller and Oladipo, and defend as if their next five meals depended on it.

It worked.

“In the second half, our guys never wavered in the belief they could and would win,” Crean said. “We played defense the way we’re supposed to play it. We made life harder for as good a player (Wyatt) as we’ve faced all year.”

Wyatt had the early edge on his matchup with Oladipo.

Wyatt drove and shot his way to 13 of Temple’s 17 points.

Crean also tried Christian Watford, Will Sheehey and Remy Abell on Wyatt. Nothing worked. By halftime, he had 20 points and the Owls had a 29-26 lead.

Wyatt was 8-for-14 in the first half. The rest of the Owls were 4-for-20.

IU lost guard Jordan Hulls to a right shoulder injury after an early collision with Temple’s Scootie Randall.

He only played eight firsthalf minutes. He returned in the second half with a black shoulder wrap and a bandage.

The Hoosiers also lost Zeller to foul trouble.

That 1-2 blow stripped the

Hoosiers of much of their first-half offensive punch.

The Owls’ tough-minded defense capitalized. They outscored IU 20-8 in the final 11 minutes of the first half to take that three-point lead.

Guard play was crucial. In the first 20 minutes, Hulls, Oladipo and Remy Abell combined for six points, one assist and four turnovers.

That wasn’t good enough.

So the Hoosiers did what they had to do.

Hulls returned in the second half and IU kept getting the ball inside to Zeller. The Hoosiers needed five minutes to close within a point. They needed another nine to forge a 43-43 tie on a Sheehey three-pointer. Wyatt negated that with his own threepointer seconds later.

CRAFT LIFTS OHIO STATE TO SWEET 16 WITH LATE THREE-POINTER

By Doug Harris dayton daily news/MCt

DAYTON, Ohio — Most kids who grow up playing basketball have pretended to count down the clock and hit the winning shot in a momentous game. But Aaron Craft isn’t like most kids.

“I think you know I’m a defensive guy. I think I was in the backyard going, ‘Three, two, one’ and taking a charge,” the Ohio State junior guard said. “But, yeah, every kid dreams about moments like that. I’m so blessed to be in that situation and come through for this group of guys.”

Craft bled the clock with some casual dribbles at the top of the key and swished a three-pointer with a halfsecond left for a 78-75 victory over Iowa State on Sunday at UD Arena to send the

second-seeded Buckeyes to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the fourth straight year.

They’ll meet sixth-seeded Arizona on Thursday in the regional semifinals at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. In the West bracket, seeds No. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are all gone.

With the game tied, OSU’s Deshaun Thomas deflected pass to force a turnover. Craft missed a 15-footer, but the ball went out of bounds to the Buckeyes at 29.9 seconds left.

Coach Thad Matta then devised a play for Thomas, who had a game-high 22 points. But the Cyclones blew it up with some defensive switches. Those changes, though, left Georges Niang on the slithery Craft, and the 6-foot-7, 245-pound forward was in retreat mode for fear of being burned.

“We wanted to keep them

out of the paint. ... That’s where Craft was most dangerous, getting in there and getting shots at the rim,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said.

“You’ve got to take your hat off to him. The kid stepped up and made a big shot. That’s who he is _ about his entire time at Ohio State, making big shots like that.”

A Craft charge also figured into the outcome. The Buckeyes (28-7) led by 13 with six minutes to go, but the 10th-seeded Cyclones (2312), who owned the boards (36-22) and were scorching on 3-pointers (12-of-25), roared back with a 13-0 run in a span of 1:57 to wipe out the deficit.

Leading by one, Iowa State’s Will Clyburn was called for an offensive foul with 1:41 to go. Craft slid over on the drive and got the

controversial call. Replays showed the heel of his foot barely hovering over the line marking the restricted area under the basket, where helping defenders aren’t allowed to set up and draw offensive fouls.

It would have been a blocking foul if his heel wasn’t raised. The NCAA issued a statement saying the official believed he made the correct call and that the play wasn’t reviewable.

Nearly an 80 percent foul shooter, Craft, who had 18 points and six assists, missed a pair of 1-and-1’s to put lighter fluid on the Cyclone rally and was just 1-of-4 on foul shots in the final 4:40.

But he atoned for that with his 3-pointer, which is practically the only facet of the game he hasn’t mastered (he was shooting 29.3 percent coming into the game).

Thomas, the junior star who had a hot hand, was poised to take the decisive shot but had no qualms with the way it worked out.

“My freshman year, I probably would have gotten mad.

Last year, I probably would have gotten mad,” Thomas said about not getting the ball. “But this is me growing up: I was like, he’s got it. I believe in him. And I just let him go to work.

“One thing he did, though, when he made it, he goes, ‘Let’s play D! Let’s play D!’ “ Expecting anything else?

As for the late-game collapse, Matta said: “I told the guys, ‘Hey, relax. We can’t change anything that’s happened in the past. The only thing we can do is play these last four minutes and try to win this basketball game.’

“Aaron, he definitely listens.”
