CMU STUDENT FOUND DEAD IN OFF-CAMPUS APARTMENT A Central Michigan

University student was found dead Tuesday afternoon in his off campus apartment.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said deputies received a call around 1:30 p.m. about a male who was found dead in an off-campus apartment, where he was confirmed to be a CMU student.

“It was not a homicide,” Mioduszewski said.

“Unless the autopsy shows something else, it was nothing criminal.”

Mioduszewski was unaware of whether or not the parents of the student had been notified of his death. The name of the student and apartment complex he was discovered in were not released.

The age of the student could not be confirmed, however, Mioduszewski said he heard the deceased was a senior.

CMU officials were reached for comment, but did not know any additional information about the student’s death.

TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA A 21-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested for possessing marijuana with intent to deliver and open intoxicants Sunday afternoon.

According to a Michigan State Police press release, the driver was stopped on Pickard Road at around 1:30 p.m. in his 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix and was cited for texting and driving.

The press release said that upon questioning, the man revealed he had “a lot” of marijuana in the vehicle.

Michigan State troopers found approximately a quarter pound of marijuana, marijuana butter and an open bottle of Captain Morgan Rum. Michigan State Police Trooper Randall Jordan, could not yet confirm whether the man was a Central Michigan University student. Jordan said the man will be arraigned in the next couple of days.

Following his arrest and arraignment, the man will likely face at least some jail time, Jordan said.

“The punishment is usually up to the court, not us,” Jordan said. “One of the charges was a felony. It usually carries some sort of jail time.”

Mike Mangione has been on tour for seven years and has enjoyed every minute of it.

The Americana-style musician said he keeps playing across the country because he loves to perform and needs money to raise his two daughters.

“Because I’m so dependent upon the money from touring, I’m always out,” Mangione said at his Tuesday evening show in Moore Hall’s Kiva. “You kind of get used to it. It’s your exercise almost.”

The folk-singer from Chicago shared his unique Americana style at an intimate show put together by the registered student organization, Reach Out. Many of the students in the RSO are part of St. Mary’s parish on campus.

The group decided to bring Mangione to Central Michigan University to help introduce more students to the organization and to the Catholic community as a whole.

Corey Luna, president of Reach Out, said a minister in the area knew Mangione and told him CMU was special.

An on-campus voting location could be a future reality for Central Michigan University students and staff.

Rockford junior Brynn McDonnell, the Voices for Planned Parenthood Student Government Association representative, spoke to city commissioners during the public comment portion of Monday’s city commission meeting.

McDonnell urged Mount Pleasant to consider making the Wesley Foundation Church, 1400 S. Washington St., a polling location.

She is among several SGA members who have worked toward establishing an on-campus polling location, potentially moving a location from Voweles Elementary School, 1560 S. Watson St., to the church.

“They’ve been very interested in working with us on that,” McDonnell said of Wesley.

She cited a survey conducted

by SGA that found only 8 percent of students know where their polling location is, while 80 percent said they would be likely to use an on-campus location, should they be eligible.

“Seeing as CMU students account for about 40 percent of Mount Pleasant’s population, the Student Government Association and the Residence Hall Assembly both voted in favor of an on-campus polling location that would be utilized by students and, obviously, faculty if they live in that area,” she said.

McDonnell read testimony from SGA President Marie Reimers while speaking to commissioners.

“Students have a right to easy access to voting,” Reimers said in the statement. “(CMU students) have a right to be heard.

CMU students contribute through economic, academic and service means, and we have a right to easy access to political contribution.”

McDonnell told commissioners about a conversation she had with one of her professors about the importance of moving the polling place.

Student risk factors help determine retention rate figures

By Katherine Ranzenberger Senior Reporter

Preparedness, uncertain finances and minority distinctions have been pegged as potential risk factors for students who leave Central Michigan University.

Robert Roe, the executive director of CMU’s Office of Institutional Research and Planning, gave a presentation on retention rates and explained why risk factors can help formulate retention strategies.

“In terms of recruitment, you don’t know the profile of your incoming class,” Roe told Academic Senators on Tuesday. “My point is not about recruiting the right kids. It’s about intervening with the kids you have.”

University officials, including Roe and his department, have been looking at risk factors closely this year to ascertain how these factors contribute to student success in college. Officials have been looking into different ways the university can intervene early

enough to make an impact.

The issue of recruitment and retention have been key points in university-wide discussions since enrollment began to decrease after the 2009-10 enrollment boom. Retention has been a common theme in presentations made by Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services, Steven Johnson, at various board of trustees meetings this year.

According to Roe, the IR office looked at past literature detailing important, potential risk factors. These risk factors include preparedness, financial challenges, and the prototypical plight of minority and first-generation students.

Risk factors are determined from the student’s application responses and information taken from ACT scores, federal financial aid reports and high school GPA. “Across time, (academic risk) is fairly stable,” Roe said. “The minority risk factor is increasing, but that’s w A-SENATE | 6A

Regarding potential parking issues, McDonnell said she contacted CMU, which would look into utilizing special events parking protocol if the polling place was relocated to the church.

She said Wesley is Voting Rights Act-compliant, handicap accessible and is classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, meaning it canot support political candidates or campaigns and is limited in its lobbying ability.

McDonnell called Wesley an ideal location, but should it be denied by the city, she said she spoke with university officials about other potential locations.

“I’m also speaking, if Wesley is not the ideal location, with people in the university who are very excited to invite the community in to exercise their democratic rights,” she said.

Mayor Sharon Tilmann suggested McDonnell have herself or someone else involved in the campus polling location campaign speak with the CMU/City of Mount Pleasant Liaison Committee at its next meeting. metro@cm-life.com

AT&T, CITY AGREE TO TOWER LEASE AGREEMENT TO INCREASE SERVICE Local AT&T cell phone users will be getting a boost in their service.

The Mount Pleasant City Commission approved an agreement during Monday’s commission meeting with AT&T to rent space on the Chipp-aWaters Park telecommunications monopole at a rate of $26,400 per year.

Monopoles are single-tubed towers, typically 100 to 200 feet tall, that can contain antennas for various telephone companies on its exterior.

MetroPCS currently rents antenna space on the tower.

AT&T, the United States’ second-largest provider of cell phone service, first approached Mount Pleasant in 2013 to rent space for an antenna on the monopole. It was built in 2009 and is located at 1403 W. High St. The company’s plans gained approval from the Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission in February and March, respectively. City commissioners, with the exception of Vice Mayor Jim Holton, who was absent, unanimously authorized the lease as part of its consent calendar.

Central Michigan University students were intrigued when they were asked to sit as close to the stage as possible Tuesday evening in Plachta Auditorium.

The Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month keynote speaker Kip Fulbeck said he wanted to have an interactive experience with his audience.

Fulbeck questioned what it means to be a diversity speaker.

“It drives me nuts because when we hear diversity, we think about race,” Fulbeck said.

“But race is only a small part of diversity.”

As an artist, a spoken word performer and a filmmaker who focuses his work on exploring people with different identities, he was invited by the Multicultural Academic Student Services and the CMU Speaker Series.

Fulbeck said having a Chinese mother and a white father made figuring out his identity as a child challenging. He started his presentation by performing a poem where, at the end of an interview, he was forced to pick only one box for his race.

“As a little kid with my Asian mom and white dad, picking one box was like asking me to pick which one I loved more,” Fulbeck said. “When you’re a little kid, that is not a fair question to ask.”

Fulbeck talked about the various projects he has worked on, exploring the concept of identity. One of his endeavors, The Hapa Project, takes minimalist pictures of primarily multiracial individuals and then asks them to answer the question, “Who are you?”

“No one gets to tell you who you are, but people love to do it,” Fulbeck said. “No one gets to tell

you who you are unless you give them permission.

Romulus junior Morgan Earby said she was glad Fulbeck brought up the one-dimensional nature of race.

“I thought his talk was really beneficial,” Earby said. “He showed how you do not have to pick one race.”

Fulbeck also discussed his other projects, including his books “Permanence: Tattoo Portraits” and “Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids.” Additionally, he showed his short film “Lilo & Me” during the presentation.

Davisburg junior Dannielle Hurst said she enjoyed Fulbeck because he was unique.

“He presented something different, something other than what we’ve been ingrained and taught,” Hurst said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Child and Family Enrichment provides safe environment for abused children

By Orrin Shawl Staff Reporter

A suspect in a police investigation is cross-examined by police officers in an interrogation room.

But for the victim in any case involving children, they are questioned by Child and Family Enrichment personnel at the Dan Denslow Advocacy Center.

The advocacy center, located at 3333 S. Lincoln Road, is Mount Pleasant’s only place for child and family enrichment services.

It’s a place where children who have been victims of crimes, such as sexual abuse, go and answer questions in a safe and comfortable environment, said CAFE Coordinator Samantha Dush.

Dush, a Central Michigan University graduate student, said about 95 percent of the victims at the center are victims of sexual abuse.

“They come in, I work with their parents, do a little paperwork and the interviewer meets with whatever agency is investigating,” Dush said. “We work with every police agency in this county, and also Isabella County Child Protective Services. I’ve been here for about two years, and in that time, I’ve probably seen about 200 kids.”

The center consists of three offices, a waiting room decorated for children, an interview room decorated with previous childrens’ drawings and a viewing room adjacent to the interview room.

In the viewing room, visiting agencies can watch the interview using a wall camera. The surveillance and recording equipment is outdated, Dush said, making it harder for agencies to use the surveillance tapes after having their systems upgraded.

Dush hopes to upgrade the equipment with the help of

a fundraiser held at Bennigan’s Thursday. Flyers must be given to the server, so 20 percent of the bill will be donated to the center.

“Our recording equipment is part of the reason we’re doing a fundraiser,” Dush said. “Right now, we’re using a VHS as a backup.”

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said his department uses the advocacy center for occasional case work.

“We typically have a couple of interviews,” he said. “One week, we may have four or five and then we may not have any for a while. On average, we may have three to five interviews per week.”

The facility is named after Dan Denslow, a former detective with the ICSD. Mioduszewski said he passed away about four years ago due to unexpected medical issues.

“He was very active with (CAFE),” Mioduszewski said. “He was very active on their board of directors for years. That was something he had enjoyed volunteering for and being a part of.”

Mioduszewski said the advocacy center has always been an asset to the ICSD. “I think the facility was talking about upgrading some of its equipment. Once that’s done, it will enhance the program,” Mioduszewski said. “We’ve got a good, working relationship with them, and it’s nice to have that center.”

CAFE doesn’t just interview victims. It also holds sessions to help parents improve their parenting skills. Terra Pleiness, a CAFE peer educator and CMU alumna, is in charge of those classes.

“Right now, we have a protective parenting program, where we’re going over protective factors, risk factors in families and how to prevent those,” Pleiness said. “We used to do nurture parenting, and we’re going be starting that up again in April. That’s a class that goes over basic parenting stuff.”

Monday evening’s Student Government Association presidential debate was a political battlefield as candidates unleashed a vernacular bombardment on one another.

Students donning campaign buttons and carrying support signs packed into Anspach 162 to hear the presidential and vice presidential candidates answer questions about their platforms.

The candidates were asked predetermined questions for the first half of the debate and questions from students posted on the SGA Twitter Charles Mahone account, @ CMUSGA, for the second half.

“We are ready to represent you,” said presidential candidate Charles Mahone as he gave his opening remarks Marie Reimers to the audience.

“Our platform is organic, from the student body.”

SGA President Marie Reimers opened reminding the audience of the accomplishments of her presidency and what she and running mate Margaret Blackmer intend to do if elected to office next fall.

Reimers said her top platforms are establishing CMU as a polling place, continuing to work with the university to increase the Campus Programming Fund to $1.8 million, and establishing a woman and gender resource officer position on campus, a platform Reimers ran on during her first campaign.

Both Reimers and Mahone agreed communication with the student body is important, however, they differ on how best to reach the student body. Reimers started an SGA newsletter on Orgsync this year to keep in touch with students.

Mahone wants to make communication more personal.

“We want to make face-to-face contact with the students,” Mahone said. “Students only see us during campaigns, it shouldn’t be that way. We plan on visiting the RSOs regularly.”

While Mahone has a plan to better connect with students, his plan to communicate with university officials is a work in progress, as he stated he only has experience talking to deans and a handful of administrators.

“Connecting does not just happen as president, it needs to happen all the time,” Reimers said. “I meet with President Ross monthly. You need to know who to talk to (to) get things done. That’s the important part.”

The internal workings of SGA have always been the task of the vice president, so whoever holds the seat needs to be familiar with every aspect of the organization.

Mahone claimed Blackmer’s lack of experience might be an issue for the office, as he said she has only held an administrative position while in SGA and has never been involved with what she might be in control of as vice president.

Although she has not served as a committee chair, Blackmer has been involved with SGA for the last two years.

As the debate continued, the candidates jabbed at each other’s policies more and more, picking at apparent weak points.

“We stand committed to divestment,” said Mahone’s running mate Mariah Urueta after being asked what makes their ticket standout.

“The divestment movement was working with Marie at the beginning of the year, and we had a chance to talk to the (CMU) Board of Trustees. But, for whatever reason, we were dropped from the agenda.”

Reimers banked on the semester’s worth of accomplishments that have been seen in the office during her presidency. Mahone questioned Reimers’ progress in SGA, asking what happened to several platforms she ran on last election season that never came to be.

Voting begins March 31 and ends April 4 at midnight. Results of the election will be posted April 6. studentlife@cm-life.com

Offering a polling location on campus is the first step toward engaging students politically

n a democracy, providing access to a place to practice your

right to vote is paramount.

Casting a ballot allows citizens to select a candidate who can best represent their views.

Ultimately, it is the most fundamental way for American citizens to allow their voices to be heard.

In Michigan — with a population of 9.88 million — 7.45 million people are registered to vote. Sadly, only 63 percent of those registered actually made it to the polls in the 2012 presidential elections.

Even more perplexing, however, is the turnout for student voters.

According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, only 49 percent of voters under 30 make it to the polls.

Students represent the future of our government and our country. It’s essential that every avenue be explored to get all citizens, including students, to the polls during an election.

Of Mount Pleasant’s seven voting precincts, no polling location exists on Central Michigan University’s campus.

Although polling options exist off campus, students with a lack of transportation or unfamiliarity with the area find it difficult to exercise their right to vote.

A Student Government Association survey revealed that while only 8 percent of CMU students know where polling locations are, 80 percent of students would be more likely to use an on-campus polling center.

CMU needs a polling location on campus.

On

Facebook Carmen Burlingame: I think that’s the first question — determine the percent of the student body who become Mount Pleasant residents, then assess the impact that on-campus voting would have after that calculation.

Brynn McDonnell, a representative for Voices for Planned Parenthood and Student Government Association, delivered this message to the Mount Pleasant City Commission on Monday.

Included in her proposal was a suggestion to open a polling location at Wesley Foundation Church on Washington Street. As a 501(c)(3) organization, the neutral site cannot support political candidates or campaigns — making it an ideal location to allow for voting.

We support both her efforts and the initiative by the SGA to address this issue.

The U.S. Census Bureau lists several situations in which citizens were unable to vote. Of the 40,000 people surveyed – 11.2 percent were either away from their polling district, experienced transportation issues or claimed the polling location was inconveniently located.

No decision was made as a result of her presentation, but McDonnell has been advised to speak with CMU and the City of Mount Pleasant Liason Committee at their next meeting.

It is unclear what the future will hold. However, Mount Pleasant could improve both voter turnout and the democratic process by heeding McDonnell’s request.

CMU students account for about 40 percent of Mount Pleasant’s population. A polling place on campus would not only serve as a more convenient option for students wishing to participate politically, but could substantially change the results of an election.

We applaud McDonnell and the SGA for their efforts. We urge the city of Mount Pleasant to consider adding a location on campus for students to cast their votes.

Should Mount Pleasant offer a place to vote on campus for the next election?

Ashlea Phenicie: Yes! A very large portion of Mt. Pleasant’s population goes to CMU. The only people that don’t want one here are Republicans that don’t want younger people to vote.

Alex Middlewood: Yes! Most of the residents of Mount Pleasant are students. Every other major university in Michigan has a polling location on campus and there’s no reason that we shouldn’t too.

Doug Berry: Yes. Why wouldn’t you encourage CMU students and others to participate in the American voting process? No brainer.

Hannah Long: Yes. This is your community now. You should stay informed on not just your national politicians but your local ones.

Letter to the

The mystique of voluntourism I’ve been able to save up some cash for travel after I graduate, and I couldn’t be more fortunate.

When looking at opportunities abroad to do humanitarian work instead of having a “traditional vacation,” I was elated to find hundreds of organizations dedicated to providing service opportunities for young graduates overseas.

For example, for $3,000, I could help raise orphaned baby elephants in the jungles of Thailand, all while completing the package with an adventure tour around the country. Other areas included teaching English, working on environmental projects and other assorted advocacy issues.

As someone who volunteers on campus, I wanted to expand my thirst for adventure while providing service hours to my host country. I have no doubt that, as students, we can make the earth a better place.

Our generation is facing never-before-faced hardships – freshly exiting three wars and an economic disaster – but we are a generation of volunteers.

The Alternative Breaks program alone counted 415 participants last year.

However, students should be

cautioned when seeking to volunteer abroad. While Central Michigan University’s Alternative Breaks program has eight quality components of a break, including education, training, reflection and strong and direct service – many organizations do not value such an intense, educational experience.

It might seem tempting to get the “warm and fuzzies” when exploring international service opportunities.

Saving children from AIDS, curing world hunger, and all the other promises these organizations make can appeal to students. However, many times these programs do not address the causal factors to these issues.

Because volunteer abroad trips are short-term, the underlying problems relating to the issue often go untreated. Instead, a Band-Aid is put over the wound and it never fully heals.

In many circumstances, projects are evaluated from the perspective of the participant, and not the community that is being affected. Instead of asking the community, “what do you need?” these organizations are asking the participants, “What do you want to contribute?”

Brynn McDonnell Columnist

In many more instances, due to the high demand for volunteerism, advocacy companies make a hefty profit off the industry.

Is our thirst for ethical adventure really worth the capitalization of poverty? I think it is important to analyze using the eight components to reflect on the ethics of such opportunities.

At a university where an overwhelming number of students volunteer, this is an issue that needs to be examined. Strong and direct service is more than hopping off a plane into a foreign land to go “help” poor people not be poor anymore.

Strong and direct service involves understanding the root of why social problems occur. I think it is important to think before someone goes off and teaches young children without any training or experience. They must first be taught how to be a successful member of the global society.

Editor TO THE EDITOR: The federal judge who recently ruled that Michigan’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional evidently hasn’t learned much from the past.

The ancient and primitive Greeks and Romans inappropriately valued homosexual relations. Eventually, the people wised up and realized that was a mistake. Homosexual activity was deemed unethical and was basically driven underground.

Even Plato condemned homosexual activity.

Now – despite the fact that people have known for centuries that homosexual activity is immoral – misguided “progressives” are trying to take us back thousands of years to more primitive times. It’s easy to show that all the arguments homosexuals use to try to rationalize homosexual activity are seriously flawed.

It may surprise you that some colleges, like Harvard, now officially recognize student groups devoted to promoting the acceptance of BDSM — or sexually deviant bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism. That’s right – if you are a student who is aroused by smacking people around, some colleges now have groups for you.

He who has eyes to see, let them see. The “logic” of heterophobic homosexuals is rapidly leading this society down a slippery slope to a more aberrant, disordered and irrational society. Legal polygamy is coming soon. Maybe down the line we’ll see “marriage” between consenting adult incestuous people! Whoopee! Anyone who thinks this is progress is deluding themselves.

Rome didn’t fall in a day. But it did fall. Let’s not join the race to the bottom.

Student housing north of campus could soon see a face-lift.

Both Mount Pleasant city commission and the planning commission looked at a student housing area north of Central Michigan University between Bellows and High streets, at Monday’s joint meeting.

They also discussed development codes and procedures, specifically for housing projects between Washington and Main streets.

“We need to do a study to find out which units are owner-occupied, single family housing that is rented out, and deal with the idea of density,” said Planning Commissioner Shaun Holtgreive. “Done correctly in the right areas, it serves the community well and keeps the students in the area where they want them.”

Over the past couple years, several redevelopment projects have been completed in the M-2 zoning district north of cam-

pus, including new housing on South Washington Street and on the corner of Main and High streets.

The redevelopment projects have served to both beautify the streets and keep students in student housing near campus. Planning commissioners raised concerns about where these projects should be built, saying new, high-density projects might not work in neighborhoods bordering residential units.

“We need to quit trying to piecemeal together what we’re doing in this area and have a study that looks at the area and has a holistic approach in the long run,” said Holtgreive, who also serves as executive director of campus living at CMU. No code changes were adopted at the meeting, as the planning commission decided at its last meeting to postpone a recommendation to its city counterpart.

The city also asked the planning commission to come up with a timeline for further action regarding the M-2 district.

Planning Commissioner

Mark Ranzenberger suggested M-2 areas closest to residential neighborhoods should be held to different redevelopment standards, perhaps encouraging townhouse development and one or two-bedroom apartments. He said these units should have higher expectations for landscaping.

“The area that is south of High Street seems like it would be a terrific area for graduate students, for young professionals, new faculty members, for people who would truly add to the community, but have no place to live right now,” Ranzenberger said.

City Commissioner Kathy

Ling raised concerns over waiting too long to decide how to develop new building regulations for the projects.

“What gets postponed is codification,” Ling said.

“What does not get postponed is projects. The concern the commission has is these are just moving right along, and maybe in the end we decide that’s a good thing. But if we decide a year from now, it’s not a good thing.” metro@cm-life.com

“The most important thing I learned was the proper way things should be done. Watching and being part of such a huge successful company set a standard by which I now evaluate everything.”

A major overhaul of the Chippewa River Bridge on Pickard Avenue is planned for 2017.

Three Michigan Department of Transportation resolutions were approved at the Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting Monday, including one that would bring an estimated $712,000 in repairs to the bridge.

“The MDOT grant process is typically multiple years ahead in planning,” Interim City Manager Nancy Ridley wrote in a memo to city commissioners.

A new sidewalk, deck and railing would be installed on the bridge, in addition to new guard rails, approaches and other general improvements.

MDOT’s Local Bridge Program, which requires applications for funding three years in advance, will cover 95 percent of the construction costs, meaning the city will foot $35,600 in construction fees. The city of Mount Pleasant will pay a total of

$142,000 for the project, as the program does not cover design and construction engineering costs. Residents can expect to see construction barrels beginning this summer.

Broadway Street’s westernmost stretch between Bradley and Harris streets will also be reconstructed this summer, beginning in June.

The construction project is funded in part by a $375,000 grant from MDOT, which will bid the work out by April. The project’s total cost amounts to $916,000. The remaining funds due will come from the city’s major streets and water budgets.

Mount Pleasant to see 120 new jobs

By John Irwin Senior Reporter

An expansion to a local manufacturer is expected to bring about 120 new jobs to Mount Pleasant this year.

Dayco, an automotive parts manufacturer, is set to expand its location at 1799 Grover Parkway by 44,000 square feet after the Mount Pleasant City Commission unanimously approved a 10-year property tax abatement Monday, worth about $1.77 million.

Brian Anderson of the Middle Michigan Development Corporation, which has been working closely with Dayco on the abatement, said the project was originally projected to create 25 new jobs.

“We were jumping for joy when we hit that 120 job figure, so we’re going to

continue working closely with Dayco to make sure they have everything that they need and to welcome them in open arms into this community,” Anderson said.

Mount Pleasant Mayor Sharon Tilmann said she was impressed with the number of jobs as well, adding she is glad the city is able to help.

“This is certainly one of the biggest projects we’ve had in recent history in our two-county area,” Anderson said. “We’re ecstatic over the job creation and the amount of people this will bring to our community.”

Anderson said manufacturing jobs are “very viable” for mid-Michigan, and the city should do everything it can to attract manufacturers to set up in Mount Pleasant.

“Manufacturing is on the upswing these days, so this is right in line with Mount Pleasant defining itself as a very positive and proper home for manufacturing investments,” he said.

Dayco’s tax abatement will last for its 10-year property lease, as opposed to the typical 12 years. According to state law, Dayco’s abatement cannot last longer than the length of its lease contract.

Construction on the addition is scheduled to be completed

by September, said city assessor Dave Rowley.

Dayco is a global corporation with 14 locations in the United States, including four in Michigan. metro@cm-life.com

PRO LIFE PRESENTATION

Courtesy Photo | Students for Life The Students For Life display near Charles V. Park Library on Tuesday was more than 50 feet long. The president of Students For Life, Grand Rapids junior Kassey Maldag said, “It is important that people are made aware of the facts instead of buying into the lies that this high-income industry feeds us.”

A-SENATE | CONTINUED FROM 1A not a bad thing. We’re trying to recruit more minority students.

Historically, though, if you’re (a) minority, you tend to dematriculate.”

Charting risk factors is as important to enrollment as recruitment and university advertising. CMU has more than a 75 percent retention rate for students with these risk factors.

Early intervention with students who carry these risk factors can be a key weapon against students jumping ship to other universities.

“You’re losing about 24 percent of students between freshman and sophomore year,” he said. “It’s about helping. A student with an academic risk factor verses not having the risk factor is 1.69 times more likely not to come back their sophomore year.”

According to the presentation, some students have multiple risk factors going on at the same time. However, the number of students with more than one risk factor is low, Roe said.

“The 15 percent of the students with more risk factors is equal to about 495 students,” he said. “If the student has four risk factors, you know everything about them.

How many do we really have to intervene with?”

In the case of enrollment boosts, like the 2010 enrollment boom that produced a total of 20,444 students on campus, the risk factors are compounded because of an increased number of students.

Yet Roe said his office has determined the percent risk factor of students this year was relatively the same as any other year.

“When you grow an institution, that happens,” he said. “The 2010 class that came in will be having an impact on the 2016 graduation rates. We’ll see the impact on retention rates in 2017.”

The presentation also compared the factors of other Michigan universities. Data presented in the address displayed that CMU’s numbers are similar to Eastern Michigan University, as well as rival school Western Michigan University.

Roe said if there is a way to determine the risk factors of other schools and apply it to funding models, state and

federal officials could find new ways to allocate more funding for individual students at CMU. “(Students at Michigan State University and University of Michigan) already have the skills to succeed,” Roe said. “If we could prove that, we’d get better funding. (U of M) does retention initiatives. They’re destined to have better scores.”

University President George Ross challenged the Michigan Senate Higher Education Committee to re-evaluate their metric for appropriating perstudent funding in February.

Andrew Spencer, chairman of A-Senate, said Roe’s presentation was informative and helped give perspective to studentretention efforts on campus.

A-Senator Jim Hill, a political science professor, said the more we look at incoming students’ factors, the better off the university will be in retaining students.

“The kids at (the University of ) Michigan have 35’s and 36’s on their ACT scores,” Hill said. “We need to invest more time in our (incoming students’) ACT scores.” university@cm-life.com

A-SENATE NOTEBOOK

Speech major deleted, political science department changes name

By Katherine Ranzenberger and Ben Solis Senior Reporter and University Editor

Members of the Academic Senate voted Tuesday to delete the generalist emphasis major concentration in the speech department. The program deletion marks the third time a speech major was nixed this year.

College of Communications and Fine Arts Dean Salma Ghanem said the deletion was to consolidate the major into one general major.

“They used to have four emphases,” Ghanem said. “They’ve consolidated them into one major. There’s no use to call it a generalist emphasis anymore.”

Ghanem explained the deletion was part of a larger removal of emphases, not a one-off deletion of the major as a whole. The deletion was initially part of a mass emphasis deletion three weeks ago, but was missed by the A-Senate

body when they proceeded to vote on the measure.

CHANGES TO POLITICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT NAME, HONORS PROGRAM DOMINATE ACTION ITEMS

Faculty members in the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences voted to officially change the name of the political science department to the “political science and public administration” department.

The change in name was passed by an 88-6 vote, with five of the votes logged in absentia. A-Senate has two weeks to voice objections to the name change before it can be considered official. The two-week period ends on April 8, the day of A-Senate’s next public meeting.

A-Senators also voted in favor of changes to the honors program protocol, which include requirements to request graduation honors recognition.

The proposal came after months of debates among ASenators over types of graduation honors and how easily students can apply for or create new commencement recognitions. Debates on the subject began in January and have been a running theme in A-Senate proceedings.

The changes aim to offer greater course clarity within the first year of college to get students used to faculty and staff in their program.

“The new honors curriculum resolves this set of problems by reducing HON 100 to one credit and distributing the previously approved six-credit general education courses into three-credit seminars,” read the March 5 minutes of the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee meeting. “The proposed changes are expected to impact honors retention and graduation positively.”

Applications for Summer and Fall 2014 semester now available at the CM Life front desk. You must be enrolled as at least a half-time student in good academic standing to be eligible for these positions.

Translated Teaching Israeli teaching program broadens one graduate’s horizons

By Megan Pacer | Senior Reporter Throughout his once-in-alifetime teaching opportunity in Israel, graduate Joshua Finn has encountered unique challenges and surprises.

And he wouldn’t want it any other way.

After graduating from Central Michigan University in May 2013, the Southfield native took a job teaching English to elementary school students through the Israeli Teaching Fellows program. After background and health checks and several interviews, Finn secured the position and has been teaching in Ashdod, Israel ever since.

While Finn was pursuing a degree in broadcast and cinematic arts, he came across a pop-up ad on Facebook offering a 10-week teaching program in Israel.

He clicked the link, and from there his journey began.

“At first I thought I would study abroad in college, but because of all of my extracurricular (activities) and resident assistant position, I was too busy to leave and graduate on time,” Finn said. “I figured that working abroad after graduation would be the best option.”

His RA position in Beddow Hall prepared him for a year of teaching,

after organizing programs and forming bonds with residents.

Finn’s Residence Hall Director, Crystal Sattelberg, said his enthusiasm with residents and ability to get them excited about hall activities showed her he could have a future in education.

After he mentioned the Israeli program several times, Sattelberg said she could tell he had a strong interest.

“I have a saying with a lot of my student staff that go on to whatever ... ‘you can always do something for two years,’” Sattelberg said. “You can always do something for a year. Out of the grand scheme of how long you are going to live, a year is not going to be that bad.”

Since making the decision to move abroad and teach, Finn has encountered rewards and learning experiences that have made the trip worthwhile.

TEACHING CULTURE

Many of his young students are interested in, not only learning the English language, but the American culture as well.

“I’ve become more like a mentor, as well as teaching the kids English,” Finn said. “It’s fun to teach about your own culture, as well as teach a language you’re so used to speaking.”

Varied aspects of the Israeli and American cultures have pushed Finn to overcome confusion and misunderstanding. His experience, which can be best described as culture shock, has not been without challenges.

Since the program began, Finn has had to acclimate to certain differences in the education system

abroad. There, children can run in the halls, call their teachers by their first names, and are subject to a different disciplinary system.

Finn uses his resources back home in seeking out advice.

Despite facing challenges, Finn has the support of his family and friends back in his home country.

A former member of Hillel, CMU’s Jewish student organization, Finn maintains a connection with e-board member and close friend, Alana Rosenblatt.

A senior from West Bloomfield, Rosenblatt accompanied Finn on a previous, shorter trip to Israel, and still speaks with him weekly.

“The RSO gave him support, and he still has that support here at Central,” she said. “Whenever we meet, we always talk about Josh and how he’s doing.”

Both Rosenblatt and Sattelberg emphasized Israel’s perfect fit for Finn after graduation. Both remain in contact with him as he continues teaching, and are confident in his abilities.

“All my staff members are very close with me, but he is one that stands out because he was just a unique character,” Sattelberg said.

“It’s great to still have connections with him and (to) see how far he goes.”

Heading back to the U.S. on June 29, Finn hopes to put his passion for teaching to good use in a career in higher education, potentially in university Jewish services. studentlife@cm-life.com

Ross discusses prayer rooms, writing with international students

By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

President George Ross vowed Monday to make changes in English-language support services for international students if needs are going unmet.

Central Michigan University students met Ross in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium as part of a discussion hosted by the International Student Organization.

One major concern voiced by students was the training in composition. Some international students who pass the English competency test might not be prepared to write academic essays.

“There’s room to expand the existing English-language support services for international students,” Ross said. “If needs are going unmet, if changes need to be made, I am wide open to making that happen.”

Ross pointed to programs such as the Writing Center and the English Language Institute as useful tools for international students that struggle with writing. He said raising awareness about writing and these support services is a vital part of solving the problem There are more than 850 international students at CMU, the largest number in the university’s history.

Ross said the administrators will look into improving English services to assist this growing group.

the second time ISO hosted the question-and-answer event with Ross. The goal of the registered student organization is to aid international students in both academics and social life on campus, said ISO President Shaminul Shakib.

“This is a good platform for bringing the problems facing international students to the attention of the university authorities,” the Bangladesh junior said. “We had a lot of important questions raised today.”

Another question dealt with the addition of multi-faith prayer rooms to buildings on campus. Ross said the administration is discussing the construction of these “personal comfort rooms.”

Other topics on the minds of students included the long waits for Safe Ride vehicles, parking and the work-hour limitations on international students. When asked about difficulties facing both domestic and international students, Ross said global competition in the marketplace is the biggest obstacle to overcome.

“When you leave Central, competing against students from around the world and keeping up with the rapid changes in technology are going to be the hardest part,” Ross said.

Ross said CMU will be looking into those issues further and will respond to the inquiring students once they

have the necessary information.

Although not a member of the RSO hosting the event, freshman Yuri Sugiyama from Japan heard about it from a friend and came to learn more about the university.

“It was my first time seeing the president, which was exciting,” Sugiyama said. “I think he did a good job answering the questions the students had for him.”

Shakib said ISO might hold similar discussions with Ross every semester in the future. university@cm-life.com

Free food, activities gives students reasons to stay ‘Up All Night’ Friday

By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter

To college students, allnighters are all too common.

On Friday, Central Michigan University will add its annual twist to the term.

Students looking for a fun and free way to spend time in the wee hours of the night can look no further than this year’s Up All Night.

The scheduled festivities start at 11 p.m. Friday and continue until 3 a.m. in the Student Activity Center.

The event offers free food from local businesses, as well as games including glow in the dark miniature golf, laser tag, dodgeball

and blow-up inflatable games. There will also be an opportunity for students to win meet-and-greet passes to the Lee Brice concert on Saturday, provided by the CMU Program Board.

Students can also choose from caricature artists, casino games and bingo for their entertainment.

According to a press release from the Office of Student Activities and Involvement, students will have the chance to win “fast passes,” which allow them and one friend to skip to the front of any activity line at the event.

The passes can be won at promotional tables, set up

Monday in the Bovee University Center, which will be open throughout the week leading up to Up All Night.

“I think it’s a great way for students to meet other students they wouldn’t normally meet,” said Westland junior Louise Sawaya.

Up All Night is free for students with their CMU IDs, and admission costs $5 for the general public.

“I went my freshman year and it was a lot of fun,” said Belleville senior Nicole Infante. “They get local artists to come play and it ended up being really cool.” studentlife@cm-life.com

A cat saved my life No one respects my cat.

Then again, why should they? She’s a furry, 14-pound wrecking ball who can knock everything off my coffee table in record time without a care in the world.

When friends come over to visit, she spends her time either rolling around on the floor manically, just out of hands reach, or lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to attack my visitor’s feet.

Many of my friends are surprised I even have a cat. I certainly don’t fit the mold of a cat coddler.

I’m a silly, foul-mouthed Iraq war veteran going to college trying to make up for a lot of lost time.

Where others would think my attitude, and my past, would exclude me from the life of cat ownership, it’s my past that led me to adopting a cat in the first place.

Contrary to my smile and humorous demeanor people

see on the outside, the inside is something else.

As much as I enjoy talking about my time in the military, there are still several aspects of it that bother me and can’t be forgotten.

About two years ago, I found myself in a dark place, no longer able to deal with what my mind was telling me. I began contemplating whether or not I wanted to exist anymore.

I tried to seek help, but VA healthcare has the nasty habit of having long waits for appointments.

So I was on my own.

Thankfully, before I could do something regrettable, I remembered something a reporter from the Chicago Tribune told me about handling stress and depression – get a cat.

I didn’t think much of it at

first, but in retrospect, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

When I stepped into the Humane Society two years ago and walked out with my fluffy new roommate, my life was forever changed.

Maybe it’s how adorable she is, or the way nothing ever seems to bother her, but ever since I brought her into my life, I’ve been a lot calmer.

I can deal with stress and sadness better, as well as how I interact with other people. I’m a lot more sociable now than I ever was.

People can make fun of my love for my cat all they want. I don’t care and neither does she.

She’ll never understand how she saved me from oblivion because she’s a cat, but I will always be grateful.

She’s my furry little companion, my lifesaver, my cat – Ellie.

‘Stay Fit For The Fight’ supports cancer care

By Jake Schmittler Staff Reporter

Students challenged others to Stay Fit For The Fight and raise money for a charitable cause Sunday at the Student Activity Center.

Students from the recreation and event management program took over a portion of the SAC for a fundraiser to support and raise awareness for Community Cancer Services.

As part of their planning recreation programs and events class, RPL 430, and with help from their classmates, Hartland senior Lauren Sistek, Mount Pleasant junior Courtney Rounds, Escanaba junior Ann Marie Servant, Grand Rapids junior Katelyn Geraghty and Northville senior Stephanie Sakorafis coordinated and hosted an integrated fundraiser, where all proceeds went to a charity of their choosing.

In a trailblazing effort to support health and raise awareness for CCS, the group organized an event radically different from the typical trivia game or bar gathering usually set up for this type of event.

“It’s a series of three different fitness classes,” Sakorafis said.

“Zumba (is) the first one, high-

intensity interval training is the second one and then a glutes, guts and guns class. We also have massages from Massage Central and a silent auction table, so we’re trying to get people to do a variety of activities while they’re here.

“It is to help raise awareness and give back to those families who have been affected through cancer and to (have them) know that your community supports you.”

By the end of the night, the class raised an estimated $545.

Unlike many of the previous fundraising efforts for the RPL program, Stay Fit For The Fight enlisted the support of numerous community organizations.

Sponsors included Massage Central, PohlCat Golf Course, the SAC, Salon 3Twelve, Bennigan’s and Total Lee Sports.

“One of our clients – actually, I think she was taking the class – asked if I would be interested, and she dropped off a flyer,” said Massage Central owner Rebecca Embach.

Stay Fit For The Fight was also met with a great deal of student support, from peers in the RPL 430 class, to past RPL 430 students.

“I actually worked with a girl over the summer who is friends

Students on the road toward a career in public relations, social media or entrepreneurship should consider the PR Highway.

The spring conference, hosted by the Central Michigan University Public Relations Student Society of America, will be held April 11 in the Bovee University Center.

Shelby Paul, vice president of professional development, said too often non-public relations students will see the PR label on a conference or event and assume it will have nothing to offer them, but that is far from the truth.

“It’s not just for PR students,” Paul said. “It is for anyone who wants to know anything more about social media and rebranding.”

The conference will provide attendees the option of choosing certain seminars to go to, each of which represent a different path or “highway” that one can take in the field of public relations.

Additionally, the conference will host several guest speakers to elaborate on topics such as media relations, crisis communication, tourism and rebranding. Speakers include representatives from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Identity PR and president of BIGGBY COFFEE, Michael McFall.

Speaking of his experience with the Pure Michigan Campaign will be Dave Lorenz, who works for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

“I heard (Lorenz) speak on campus about a year ago and his speech was phenomenal,” Paul said. “I’m excited for the lineup this year. It’s pretty well-rounded.”

Paul emphasized the importance of students using the conference to get to know their peers better in a

with somebody who is programming it and gave them my name, and I’m an RPL student as well, so I did this same kind of thing,” said Margie Wallington, a Jenison senior and the event’s Zumba instructor.

Although this was the first of it’s kind for the RPL program, the coordinators hope to lead by example and have their style of fundraising become a benchmark for future RPL programs, as well as continuing to raise awareness for Community Cancer Services.

Tickets for this year’s PR Highway conference are $15.

The fee includes admission to the conference, as well as a buffet lunch.

Students can continue to register through the CMU PRSSA website until April 7. studentlife@cm-life.com

The fundraiser was a special project for the five coordinators, as they have a close connection with cancer.

As for the RPL program, they hope to see future growth.

“I think it’s definitely going to set a new milestone for the RPL students and I want to see how it can be developed further,” Sistek said.

‘Speak Up, Speak Out’ to address upcoming elections, key issues

BREW REVIEW Kyle Kaminski Voices Editor

Dream Machine Campbell Hall Council IPL

to first date auction fundraiser Friday

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter

A first date has never seemed more necessary.

The first ever Campbell Hall Towers Date Auction on Friday will raise money for Special Olympics and the American Red Cross.

Jade Detroyer said Campbell Hall is required to hold a certain number of events that meet social, diversity, philanthropy and educational efforts.

“We do ‘Trash for Cash’ around the Towers Halls and sell pancakes every Thursday night,” the Riley sophomore said. “The Date Auction is another one of our philanthropy events (and) we thought this would make for something new that allows all the Towers Halls to be involved.”

The auction begins at 7 p.m. in Kulhavi 141 and 142, followed by a reception for the bidders and their dates in 146.

To receive a five-star community award as a hall, Campbell must raise a minimum of $1,000 this year. As of Monday, the hall’s efforts have reached nearly $900.

Jackson sophomore

Richard Goldfarb said each auction bid will start at $2 or $3.

“Personally, it is an achievement to say that we got involved,” Goldfarb said. “It is a great feeling to say that you worked together and had a good time and created a positive atmosphere.”

Fifteen students are scheduled to be auctioned off, however, applicants are still allowed as Campbell Hall Council welcomes all to sign up and attend.

“It is important to be involved,” Goldfarb said.

“When it came down to the charities that we wanted, we were split between two, so we kept them both. Special Olympics is homegrown here in CMU and (the) American Red Cross is another nonprofit organization that also goes a long way, and they are both world-wide.”

For more information, view the event’s Facebook page. To sign up, email Detroyer at detro1jm@ cmich.edu. studentlife@cm-life.com

Magic Hat Brewing Company could not be more aptly named.

The Vermont brewers are wellknown for their ability to craft a unique variety of seasonal and limited release products.

Only three year-round beers have remained in the company’s history — but for the first time in a decade, the hop magicians at Magic Hat have created one that’s here to stay.

Enter Dream Machine IPL. I like my beer to be straightforward with me — but with Magic Hat, I’m never really sure what to expect. This India-style pale lager MAGIC HAT is no exDREAM ception.

MACHINE AcIPL cording to Magic Hat, Dream LOOK: 7.4 Machine is SMELL: 8.1 an amorphous cross TASTE: 7 between India pale FEEL: 7 ale and an amber OVERALL: lager. Unable to find 7.38/10 it on tap, and having been on an IPA kick lately, I couldn’t wait to crack open a bottle.

Visually, it’s a typical amber lager and it pours hazy orange. Hints of citrus notes were pronounced and accompanied by a thick, white head.

The hoppy citrus aroma made it very appealing to the palette.

While it looks a lot like an amber lager on the surface, it hits the tongue with the strong, hoppy bitterness I’ve come to expect from IPAs. Unlike standard IPAs, however, the burn quickly subsides — really accentuating its lager finish.

I paid $8.99 for this six pack at The Store on Mission Street. I’ve paid much more for beers that I’ve enjoyed much less. While it might not offer the affordability of Keystone, you’ll definitely still get the quality taste of a higher-priced craft beer.

At 5.7 percent alcohol content, Dream Machine is strong but drinkable. For those who despise hoppy beers, this might not be the drink for you. But for those who enjoy a full-bodied hop taste without delving full-force into the world of IPAs, this beer is designed for you.
