Broadcasting professor charged with Cabin trespassing By Orrin Shawl Staff Reporter

LIFE INSIDE

Professors from the College of Business Administration believe Smith Hall might be giving them cancer. Despite working to address their concerns, university officials have said there is no cause for alarm. “We might be sitting on a time bomb,” said Crina Tarasi, professor of marketing, during a public forum on Wednesday. “When is the next case going to appear?” Five former and current faculty members from the marketing and hospitality services administration and marketing departments have been diagnosed with brain cancer over the past 30 years, according to testimony from various CBA professors. During the last 20 years, two have died from the illness. During a forum between administration and faculty on Wednesday, CBA faculty expressed their concerns — which professors said have been largely ignored — in front of CBA Dean Charles Crespy and Dan Lyons, the environmental administrator for risk management and environmental health and safety.

A Central Michigan University professor was arraigned at the Isabella County Trial Courthouse after being jailed for trespassing at The Cabin. Curtis Sutterfield initially pleaded guilty Wednesday, but Magistrate Sandra Straus suggested a no-contest plea since Sutterfield claimed to not remember the incident. He paid a $350 fine on the day of his arraignment hearing. “I honestly don’t recall. It was that fast,” Sutterfield said at his arraignment. “If I had to formulate a guess, I didn’t want to drive in my condition. I wished I would have called a cab. I didn’t call my wife because I have two young daughters, and I didn’t want

them to be woken up.” Mount Pleasant Police Department responded to a call from The Cabin at 2:16 a.m. on March 23, when Sutterfield was intoxicated and refused to leave the premises. The broadcast and cinematic arts professor was given a breath test at the scene, and registered a blood alcohol content level of .18. He refused to leave the property when asked by management and by Officer Kipp Moe. He was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing. Sutterfield said it must have happened if a police officer and The Cabin manager said it happened. “My citation says that (the manager) also asked me to leave,” Sutterfield said. “I’m sure that if two people are collaborating, then I probably did it.”

SMITH HALL| CONTINUED FROM 1A What is worrisome to some faculty is that five of their peers have contracted brain cancer. Central Michigan University and a third party company commissioned multiple environmental studies. The data, which was sent to the Department of Health and Human Services, concluded that Smith Hall displayed no evidence of a threat to public health. CBA professors were not convinced, citing inaccuracies within the report, including the omission of at least one employee they know to have contracted cancer. Professors don’t believe the findings in the report are accurate because they feel the majority of it is based on information gathered from them and administrators, not the DHHS. According to information collected by the Clark Historical Library, Smith Hall was built in 1933 and was originally the College Elementary School, which replaced the Training School that burned down just years prior. It was renovated once in 1980, according to the Smith Hall environmental report filed by the DHHS’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The report was written on March 27. NIOSH did not conduct the investigations, but assessed the data CMU and Fibertec Industries, a contracted third party, collected in 2005 and 2011. The report states that after collecting the university’s data from tests for potential chemical and pesticide exposure, as well as electromagnetic field surveys, NIOSH found no reason to believe the building or its surrounding environment would cause medical problems. NIOSH officials also emphasized that cancer is one of the most prevalent causes of death in the U.S. and the suspicion of a link between the professors’ diagnoses is unfounded. NIOSH noted the tumors found in the

brains of the deceased faculty members could have been the result of the metastasis of other cancer cells within the bodies of the professors. The NIOSH report suggested worried professors and staff should receive screenings to confirm they don’t have any of the early signs of cancer.

A SENSE OF FEAR

A quick walk down the halls of Smith shows a multitude of office doors with sticky notes announcing to students that the professors have temporarily moved out of the building. The sticky notes, however, do not give any explanation why faculty moved. Faculty dwelling in Smith Hall have become so concerned about working there it has led them to vacate their offices, holding office hours outside of the building or in the Charles V. Park Library. Provost Michael Gealt said after three different tests and seeing all the evidence provided by the report, there was no indication that the building could be giving people cancer. “We have had NIOSH, the highest authority on this in the land, look into the issue and the building,” Gealt said. “We try to make all our decisions based on data. When you have a case that seems unexplained, the natural reaction is fear or some kind of extreme concern. We’re just not sure what we can do to assure people that the building is safe.” Jon Kujat, manager of Risk Management, Environmental Health Services and Safety Management, was one of the individuals involved with the 2005 study. Kujat’s office is housed in Smith as well, and he said if he’s comfortable in there, which should prove there is no cause for alarm. “I work in this building about 50 to 60 hours a week,” he said. “If I had a concern, I would be doing that. I’m not being flippant about that either. I feel bad that people have gotten cancer, but there’s always a strong chance anyone could eventually contract cancer for any reason.” According to his research Kujat said a main cause for

“We are employees of Central Michigan University. If there were athletes that had some issue, they would throw millions of dollars at them. But if professors had an issue, then they’ll push the costs down to that unit. The trustees should be the people saying, ‘let’s take care of this and figure this out and do whatever it takes.’” Larry Lepisto, marketing and hospitality professor primary, not secondary, brain tumors is ionized radiation. He said he did a radon study and found CMU’s campus has no presence of ionized radiation. Kujat added that the two types of cancer found in the five faculty members are both dissimilar types of cancer, and were most likely not primary brain tumors, but possibly metastasis from cancerous sites elsewhere in the professors’ bodies. However, due to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, he and Gealt were both unable to share definitive medical evidence that the tumors were from secondary metastasis. Furthering his assertion that the building is safe, Kujat said the building still contains asbestos, but only the amount that is federally allowed – 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter. The asbestos is not exposed, and is only known to cause cancer in the lungs, Gealt said. Despite holding true to the findings in the report, Crespy was compelled to hold the open forum to discuss the topic after a number of professors tearfully addressed the issue with him throughout the past academic year. Professors wanted Crespy to find a solution including, but not limited to: Finding them new office space, initiating a new investigation or taking the matter before the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees. Some CBA faculty members are calling for additional tests on the building to make sure there is nothing harmful in the area, like chemicals, which they feel might be playing a role in the diagnoses. Faculty members also called for an internal investigation and the hiring of an epidemi-

ologist. Crespy said coming up with the financial support for these solutions would be difficult, if not impossible. “For me, the big question is, what is it that we can do that would be rigorous enough that if nothing were found, it would assuage concerns?” Crespy said. “And, if something were found, would it direct us to do something meaningful? I’m not sure what that is.” Crespy added he doubted university officials would consider helping financially, as it already has substantial investments in the College of Medicine, the Biosciences Building and a hefty deferred maintenance budget.

A potential lack of support from CMU has left some faculty members awe-struck and distraught. “That’s ridiculous,” said Larry Lepisto, a marketing and hospitality professor. “We are employees of Central Michigan University. If there were athletes that had some issue, they would throw millions of dollars at them. But if professors had an issue, then they’ll push the costs down to that unit. The trustees should be the people saying, ‘let’s take care of this and figure this out and do whatever it takes.’” Professors said the palpable fear of a cancer outbreak will send negative messages to new faculty members who are hired next year. “We have lost colleagues, and we have colleagues battling (brain cancer) and we have colleagues going through medical problems and we can see how it impacts them,” Tarasi said. “I think it’s a very natural concern. I can’t be the nice, cheerful, welcoming person to new faculty anymore. “I’ll honestly feel guilty and that guilt will show through.” university@cm-life.com

SUTTERFIELD| CONTINUED FROM 1A Sutterfield told the court how he is not a heavy drinker. He said he went to The Cabin with some of his students from his classes. “I had a few shots bought for me because the students were excited to see me out, I guess. I just over drank,” Sutterfield said. “I’m not a big partier or drinker or anything like that.” Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said the university is aware of the incident, and it is being investigated by the MPPD. According to Smith, Sutterfield is still employed at CMU, and an internal review is underway. metro@cm-life.com

NEW POSITION ON UNION TOWNSHIP BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Union Township Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to add a supervisor of parks and recreation to the current staff. The position will be on a probationary status until fully approved. Board members were excited to welcome the new position to help maintain the parks that Mount Pleasant residents and Central Michigan University students use. The supervisor would manage all parks and recreation operations, and will be under the supervision of township manager Brian Smith within the two parks in Union Township. Those with a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in parks and recreation or equivalent experience are recommended to apply for the new position. Internships are being discussed and could earn credit at CMU under this position. -Amanda Brancecum, staff reporter

Union Township Board of Trustees pass resolution for new extra meeting pay By Amanda Brancecum Staff Reporter

After weeks of discussion, members of the Union Township Board of Trustees drafted a policy to better regulate which board members are eligible for extra pay. Extra meetings, which trustees attend and are paid for in addition to their salaries, were defined at Wednesdays meeting at Union Township Hall. The budget for extra meetings is capped at $26,000. “How can any of us go to any of the taxpayers and say that we have a $26,000-a-year budget just to go to meetings,” Hauck said. “Just think, if we took that $26,000 and put it toward roads.” The new policy was voted on and approved at the last meeting. It went into effect on April 9. All meetings attended prior to April 9, will be subject to the past policy. Under the new policy, extra pay meetings include the economic development authority, planning commission, sustainability committee and the zoning board of appeals. Currently, Supervisor Russ Alwood is the liaison for the EDA, Trustee Phil Mikus is the liaison for the sustainability committee and Trustee Bryan Mielke is the liaison for the planning commission. The planning commission, EDA, sustainability committee and the intergovernmental liaison team will have an assigned representative to attend each meeting. Only the assigned liaisons will be paid to go to the meetings. No one will be assigned to the ZBA due to conflicts of interest.

The ZBA decides zoning issues for the Union Township Board of Trustees and consists of volunteer residents. The goal of the new resolution is to give trustees a standard policy to show taxpayers a justifiable reason for going to meetings and receiving payment. “It would prohibit board members on a salary that have daytime working hours from getting paid for attending meetings,” Mikus said. Supervisor, clerk and treasurer will not be paid extra for meetings if it falls within the set hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. They can be reimbursed for travel expenses during those hours. Benefits and compensation for the board’s duties include mileage reimbursement, extra meeting pay, health insurance, and seminar training fees along with lodging and retirement funding. Those who choose not to take the health insurance are written a check for $1,500 in compensation

for saving the township money. The money for health insurance is not included in income taxes. Hauck said he regretted using the township money for his health insurance. The plan he put his family on is valued at $22,319, which he’ll switch to his employer’s insurance within the next year. “The health insurance that the board offered was better insurance than what I had at the time,” Hauck said. “After this budgeting year, I will be taken off of the health insurance and put on the one at a job I will be taking soon.”

Trustee Tim Lannen refused to give a reason for taking the same amount for health insurance because of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. When the term is over, Mielke suggested re-evaluating compensation for future boards. “It is good to do an evaluation at the end of our terms here for the next board to make sure that this board is being compensated properly,” Mielke said. metro@cm-life.com

The College of Science and Technology is working to expand its study abroad options for interested students. Heidi Mahon, director of student services, wants to make sure students dedicated to science majors have the same opportunities to study in other countries as students in other colleges do. “Science and technology students nationwide believe that study abroad won’t fit into their schedules because of the nature of their majors,” Mahon said. “However, with the help of the (Office of Study Abroad,) CST is looking into new possibilities for our students to study abroad.” The Study Abroad program offers options to choose multiple countries for students in other colleges, but getting the word out about the programs and partnerships with foreign universities for students in science and technology is important, Mahon said. The expansion will start with the biology major, according to the Study Abroad website. There is no date set for when the Study Abroad option

A record-breaking winter left the Isabella County Road Commission exceeding its budget for road maintenance. At Wednesday’s Isabella County Board of Trustees meeting, Supervisor Russ Alwood said the commission spent $550,000 above the budget. Salt used for the slippery roads and overtime hours in maintaining safety on the roads this winter created the overdraft. Around $1.3 million in maintenance for the entire winter was used for the salt and overtime hours. The road commission will be receiving $325,000 from Michigan to cover some of the budget from the cost of salt, but it will not cover all of the extra expenses. Summer projects and road maintenance in Isabella County might be affected by this setback. A project approved by the road commission on Deerfield Road will continue as planned. A $800,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Transportation will be put toward creating a sidewalk for the students that will connect with Central Michigan University walkways. The commission will also create a three-lane road on Deerfield Road between Mission Street and Crawford Road starting around May 10. -Amanda Brancecum staff reporter

Barriers to free speech have a chilling effect on student advocacy

dvocacy relies on the freedom of speech. In the United States, under the First

Amendment, we enjoy liberties when it comes to expressing our ideas. We can publish newspapers, hold demonstrations and protest our government. The Westboro Baptist Church has a constitutional right to protest at funerals. The Ku Klux Klan can register for a slot in a city parade. Flag burning might be offensive to some, but we have the right to do so if we choose. Our right to voice and express our ideas is guaranteed — regardless of their popularity. However, at Central Michigan University, that promise of freedom only holds true if it’s exercised within the university’s restrictive boundaries. Earlier this week, representatives from the registered student organization Students for Concealed Carry posted flyers advocating participation in a protest against CMU’s on-campus concealed carry policy. The posters were displayed in the Charles V. Park Library, the Health Professions Building and in Moore Hall, among others. However, many flyers have since been removed. In a denied announcement request filed by SCC Vice President Anthony Cilluffo, university officials cite guideline violations leading to the request’s dismissal. CMU officials at the Park Library and the College of Health Professions cite only materials representing library functions can be placed in the library and only materials submitted by faculty advisors can be displayed in the CHP Building. Faculty advisors should not be responsible for representing the voice of student advocacy. The library, one of the more high-traffic areas of campus, should be more conducive to free speech.

Although the CMU chapter of Students for Concealed Carry failed to follow university procedures for flyer placement, the restrictive nature and variance in college-by-college procedure is an impediment to constitutional rights. Michael Reuter, director of technology operations at the College of Education and Human Services, took his dismissal one step further. Reuter cited improper placement of materials within the building, but also made one substantial misstep — he critiqued the appropriateness of the content. Listing a “lack of professionalism” and the potential “incendiary” meaning attached to the flyers, he addressed what he called a lack of maturity in the presentation. Disregard for the First Amendment at our university cannot be ignored. Advocating demonstrations and promoting social change is, by nature, incendiary. Although Reuter said the posters have been replaced in designated areas, the restrictions and content-based hesitation is a cause for concern. Students — especially those who feel passionately about an issue — have a right to make their voices heard. By limiting printed materials based on content and placing limitations on our freedom of speech, the voice of the student body is muffled. While not all speech can be popular, each deserves a place in the marketplace of ideas. Universities, as a catalyst for shaping minds, should offer the most opportunities for communication and loosen the barriers that prevent it.

Political maneuvering affects real people Both sides of the gay marriage issue can — and will — debate away until oxygen is a long-forgotten foreign concept for their lungs and their cheeks are overrun with a nice shade of sapphire. Let’s talk about a different part of it for a moment. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal’s indefinite stay on U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman’s disposal of the gay marriage ban in Michigan was nothing more than a blatant

exercise of political power. Attorney General Bill Schuette’s emergency stay request so soon after Friedman’s decision smells of dirty political maneuvering. To be fair, it’s natural for someone who doesn’t approve of a decision to do something about it. Yet, trying to stop people from getting married around 24 hours after the inexplicable ban was lifted? It’s as if some political figures aren’t even pretend-

Higher education isn’t only for 18 and older Central Michigan University might appear more like a bar or night club for anyone under 18 if officials pass a proposed policy regarding minors on campus. The new policy, currently in its drafting stage, would restrict minors from being on campus without adult supervision. That means CMU will be telling 17-year-old Chippewa fans they can’t come watch a football game alone or

with friends their own age. It means telling high school students visiting the area that they aren’t welcome. Underage joggers better find a route that circumvents campus. The policy leads me to the only logical question: Where are we going to get the money for all the bouncers? It’s going to take a lot of security to protect these minors from all the adult activity that takes place in our nearly 100-building campus.

ing not to fit their stereotypical perceptions. The argument could be made that marriage is often something associated with religion, and that a civil union would also be effective. But let’s be honest: if the world of marketing has taught us anything, it’s that brand names are everything. Marriage is an ideal that many are taught from any early age to strive for – not to be “in a civil union.”

Kurt Nagl Staff Reporter

Let’s face it Chips, our reputation precedes us. If there’s one thing CMU is known for, it’s that all the students here are binge thinkers. Every Monday through Friday, we are a sloppy mess of studying for tests and doing homework. Just check out the Park Library during exam week — it’s tough to find a place to sit. One of the saddest sights to see is the poor souls getting kicked out of the library at 2 a.m. They’ve usually been

The idea that certain couples are recognized in a different way by the government just doesn’t sit right with me. It might be semantics, but if somebody wants to experience the perceived mystique of marriage in a healthy consensual relationship where both parties are over 18 — I don’t see how I could reasonably tell them they can’t. The fact that our political struc-

thinking so much they can’t even see straight, eyelids sagging, lips sealed in a frown. Of course we cannot subject immature eyes to such loathsome behavior. It doesn’t make sense not to open our doors to high schools students. Why would we want to block future students from the chance of exploring our beautiful campus? Universities are a safe haven for outof-the-box thinking. They are a community of creative thought and open minds eager to work with one another. They encourage learning and collaboration at every level with all types of people. What sort of message is this policy sending to our community, to prospective students, and to their parents? Is our campus unsafe?

Kelly Rocheleau Staff Reporter

ture allows for the previous ban to be struck down, then reinstated until an appeals court decides whether or not to remove the ban later — all within a little less than a week — is absolutely absurd. It boils down to using the system to take away human rights.

Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said the policy is still in the revision phase, and once there is a mature draft, it will be taken to the Cabinet for discussion. He said the policy is not a response to any specific event. I suppose officials just decided it might be a good idea to make things unnecessarily complicated for students. What happens to high school students who are encouraged by CMU to dualenroll in college courses? What happens to incoming freshman who have not yet had their 18th birthday? How can the school possibly enforce such a policy effectively? It would be easier to scrap the idea all together than it would be to justify all of the adverse effects it could have.

Alumna creates successful greeting card business, recognized by celebrities By Kate Woodruff Staff Reporter

Like many college students, Julie Astrauckas came to Central Michigan University expecting a quality education. Eight years later, her degree continues to contribute to the building of her successful business. Since her time at CMU, Astrauckas formed “Julie Ann Art,” a successful greeting card business through the popular website Etsy, which has gained a following from notable celebrities and organizations. “I began making the cards as sort of a hobby and it just escalated from there,” she said. “I was always interested in art and photography – these things have always been a part of me, so when I found out about Etsy, I thought, ‘Why not use this creative gene that I have and try to make something of it?’” The cards Astrauckas creates are known for their down-to-earth sayings and creativity drawn from her personal experiences. By creating her relatable and unique products, Astrauckas has received recognition, not only from loyal fans, but celebrities, including fashion icon, Lauren Conrad and actress and author, Tori Spelling. “I really lucked out because one of (Conrad’s) friends just gave her one of my cards for her birthday and she shared it on her Instagram and ever since, we’ve had a relationship and we follow each other and like each other’s pictures,” she said. Her success continued with a notable partnership with Spelling and Cupcake Magazine that offered various giveaways, Astrauckas’ cards being one of them. Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed by those close to her either, including her friend and fellow CMU alumna Merissa Ferguson. “I’ve been following Julie Ann Art since practically day one and I am super proud that Julie took what was a creative outlet and turned it into a thriving business,” Ferguson said. “I truly believe the success of Julie Ann Art is because of

order to represent the foundation,” West said, “but we also wanted to have games at it that would be fun for college students.” Students have spent the semester planning and organizing their events as well as trying to successfully advertise them. West and Wright’s group has been using flyers and posting in various Central Michigan University Facebook pages. Both West and Wright agreed the event is a great way to gain real-world experience outside the classroom setting. The event will have no entry fee, but each activity requires a certain amount of tickets. To participate in either the cardboard rabbit race or the flower-pot drop, teams of two can register by visiting the group’s Facebook event page. studentlife@cm-life.com

her determination to provide quality products and stay true to who she is.” Ferguson said it’s that very determination that inspires her, even long after their years at CMU. “Julie taking a chance like this made me leap into starting my own photography business,” Ferguson said. “I know that every ounce of her success is because of her determination and bravery in allowing herself to take chances.” Astrauckas is always looking for ways to take her business to the next level. One way came from her participation in an exclusive gift lounge at the upcoming 2014 MTV Movie Awards, where she will provide samples of her products to attendees. “I’m a member of the Artisan Group and they do gifting to exclusive gift lounges for various award shows and I decided to take part in this one because I

thought it would be very fitting for my product,” she said. “I will be sending cards and 100 attendees will be receiving a bag with my product in it – the goal being to get it in the hands of a celebrity.” Astrauckas attributes a lot of her success to good instruction from her professors at CMU, and encourages students who want to own their own business to value their education and be unique. “Educate yourself; there’s so many good resources you can use when it comes to owning and running your own business,” she said. “I would also say make yourself stand out and be unique.” See Astrauckas’ cards by visiting Julie Ann Art www. etsy.com/shop/JulieAnnArt. studentlife@cm-lfe.com

Students are putting what they learned in an event planning class to good use by organizing and hosting multiple events this spring. One group of four students from the class, RPL 430, is presenting “Spring Fever: A Flower Child Festival” on April 12 in the Finch Fieldhouse. Beginning at noon, the event includes spring-themed activities, refreshments and team events. All proceeds will be donated to the American Youth Foundation, which the group decided upon together. Team member Aaron Wright, a senior from Clarkston, said the foundation tends to rely greatly on donations and fundraisers. “We chose the American Youth Foundation because I’ve actually worked at one of their summer camps for the last two summers,” Wright said. “We thought it went well with our flower

child theme because camp is a place to just have fun and enjoy the spirit of youth.” The funds raised could end up going toward updated outdoor education materials for the foundation, such as canoes, kayaks or the outdoor high ropes courses. They could also help provide financial aid for low-income children to attend the camp, Wright said. The games and events at Spring Fever were selected based on the group’s choice of the American Youth Foundation, according to group member Rachel West. The Crystal Falls junior said one of their activities – the cardboard rabbit race – is used under another name by some of the American Youth Foundation camps, and her group wanted to be able to incorporate it to tie in both the spring theme and their organization of choice. “We wanted something that would represent kind of a “childish” theme in

Aurora is typically not this vibrant this far south of the Arctic region.

LOWMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO RETAIL FRAUD Former Chippewas basketball player and current Central Michigan University student Sheldon Lowman Sheldon Lowman pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of third-degree retail fraud. According to Isabella County Trial Courthouse records, Lowman was arrested after attempting to steal $10 worth of merchandise from Walmart on Feb. 12. The junior was sentenced to 15 days in jail, but if Lowman completes the terms of his six-month probation, the jail sentence will be dropped. Lowman will perform 20 hours of community service, and submit to regular drug screenings as well as paying up to $500 in court fines. As part of his guilty plea, Lowman’s pending charge regarding failure to provide automotive insurance while operating a motor vehicle has been dropped. Lowman is also being sued in civil court along with three other defendants by United Apartments, for a total of $2,850. He and the other individuals have a hearing regarding the civil case on May 6. CMU basketball head coach Keno Davis confirmed last month that Lowman is no longer with the team.

Central Michigan softball is 24-10 and has won seven straight games due to a talented pitching trio. Seniors Morgan Yuncker and Chelsea Sundberg and freshman Rachael Knapp each bring different strengths. Knapp leads the team with a 1.88 ERA. Sundberg leads in wins. Yuncker leads with a 7-1 record. All three have heavily contributed to the team’s success thus far, and despite the graduation of ace Kara Dornbos, her tutelage has helped this year’s pitching staff. “Kara showed me important things about being a pitcher,” Sundberg said. “She had great mental toughness. She was always controlled.” Yuncker said she learned from Dornbos’ composure in the circle by adapting it to her play. Sundberg and Yuncker have impacted the growth of Knapp, who has a 7-2 record in her first season with the Chippewas. “I pay attention to both of their approaches,” Knapp said. “They never get rattled.

when they’re doing poorly, it never gets to them. Morgan, Chelsea, and the coaches have shown me how to deal with adversity.” Knapp has tallied more than 70 innings pitched, allowing 54 hits and a team-low 25 runs. She also boasts 89 strikeouts. To put that in perspective, Yuncker and Sundberg have a combined 86. Knapp said she is surprised at how quickly she has adapted to intercollegiate softball. In her first start against the University of Illinois-Chicago, Knapp didn’t skip a beat. She pitched the full game and earned her first win, allowing only two w SOFTBALL | 3B

FIRST CMU DANCE TEAM SENT TO NDA NATIONALS

URec officials face tough training, tougher decisions By Derek Thiel Staff Reporter

Limited training and high expectations lead to a stressful, but worthwhile experience for University Recreation referees. A total of 175 students applied this year and about half were selected for face-to-face interviews. After the interviews were completed, rules were reviewed in the classroom to get the officials accustomed to making difficult calls quickly. These training sessions are part of a one-day crash course that usually takes around eight hours and are led by intramural supervisors and veteran officials. This helps them to learn the basics, but nothing is comparable to officiating an actual game. “We prepare them as much as we possibly can,” said Amanda Alpert, a graduate assistant for URec. “Its tough because we can only overturn calls that are against the rules and not judgment calls.” The URec staff tries to remind people everyone makes mistakes and encourages fellow officials to back each other up, even if there is a disagreement about the call. “Players respect you more if you support fellow referees and are stern with your call,” said Evan Crank, a Macomb senior and URec Official of the Year. It can be a learning curve for some, as only undergraduate and graduate students are allowed to be intramural referees. An official’s first judgment is

usually what stands, even if the call was incorrect. Both Crank and fellow official Taylor Gibson said they have questioned their own calls before, but have to stick to their gut instinct. With experience at Ferris State University, Gibson said one of the most difficult times she’s had officiating was during the fraternity and sorority championships because of the number of people watching. “Being confident with your call is hard under pressure,” the Elwell junior said. “People sometimes forget that officials are humans, too.” Some of these high-profile championship events are reserved for the most-qualified officials. Throughout the regular season, officials are evaluated, and this feedback gives them the opportunity to participate. Crank decided to gain experience with higher levels of competition in order to polish his skills. After officiating a regional basketball tournament at Oakland University, Crank said he had a great learning experience because of the faster pace of the games. “There are a lot more people watching you at these events and they went over film to show us our mistakes and good calls,” Crank said. In addition to these off campus opportunities, many referees become URec supervisors or continue to go on to work as directors, coordinators, or graduate w OFFICIALS | 3B

YUNCKER OFF TO FAST START IN CIRCLE Senior softball pitcher Morgan Yuncker has gotten off to a great start in her final season as a Chippewa. Yuncker improved to 7-1 on Sunday allowing only three Eastern Michigan hits in CMU’s victory against the Eagles. She has pitched six complete games this season and takes an ERA of 2.10 into her next start. Yunker has surrendered the least amount of home runs, triples and doubles and owns the lowest ERA on coach Margo Jonker’s pitching staff. CMU heads to Buffalo today for a doubleheader against the Bulls.

SOFTBALL

Women to face slate of tough conference games By Kelly Potter Staff Reporter

Central Michigan softball packs up and heads east to attempt a sweep of Buffalo two years in a row. Last year, the Bulls fell to the Chippewas in both regular season games, with final scores of 7-1 and 6-1. Buffalo brings an overall record of 17-16 (1-1 MAC) to the table, while Central Michigan stands at 24-10 (3-1 MAC). Buffalo recently completed a doubleheader on April 9 against Niagara University for their home opener. Before the games against Niagara, Buffalo had been on the road for more than 30 games. The Bulls lost their first game with a score of 9-8. Buffalo then pulled through with a win of 6-3 in game two before it ended early in five innings due to weather. Prior to Buffalo’s home opener, the Bulls swept Ohio 4-0 on April 5 after senior Tori Speckman threw the Bulls’ third no-hitter in the team’s history. CMU fell to Ohio during

Central’s home opener 5-3. Consequently, the Chippewas fired back with a 5-0 shutout in their second game led by senior pitcher Morgan Yuncker. Central Michigan will also head out to Kent, Ohio to compete against Kent State on April 12-13. CMU split games against the Golden Flashes last season, winning 3-0, while losing late in the bottom of the 11th inning (54) for game two. Kent State (16-14, 2-2 MAC) met in-state rival Akron on April 5-6. Freshman Maddy Grimm of Kent State hit a three-run homer in the top of the sixth during game two. Grimm’s hit allowed outfielder Dani Ramos and shortstop Lauren Kesterson to complete their runs. The homer ultimately led Kent State to take the lead and the win. Kent State swept Akron 8-3 and 3-1. This week, CMU swept in-state rival Oakland in a doubleheader on April 9, concluding the game with a score of 6-5 and 5-1. The

OFFICIALS | CONTINUED FROM 1B assistants at CMU. As a physical education major, Crank would be interested in one of these positions, but wishes to be a coach one day because refereeing has given him more respect for the game and for the officials who make the calls.

“One of the big things is being open-minded,” Crank said. “Seeing everyone’s point of view and not getting frustrated is important.” More referees are needed for sports like flag football or basketball, but unconventional sports like

hits and striking out eight. After earning her first loss against UT Arlington, Knapp went on a four-game winning streak. Arguably her best performance was a shutout victory against IPFW on April 2. She showed off the power of her arm against Fordham on March 7, striking out 14. Knapp has allowed only four runs in the four complete games she has pitched this season. “I think she’s doing amazing,” Yuncker said. “To be as calm, collected and poised as she is is very difficult. Especially the fact she’s doing this as a freshman is impressive.” Speaking as a teammate as well as a mentor, Sunberg said she is excited to see how Knapp develops as a pitcher throughout her career. However, the transition from high school to intercollegiate softball has not been easy for Knapp. “At first, the schedules and the workouts were tough,” Knapp said. “It really benefited me though, and I’m more than used to it by now.” CMU is 3-1 in conference play, and they aim to improve their record Friday in a doubleheader against Buffalo. The Chippewas have big expectations for the rest of the season. “Our goal is to win the MAC season title and the MAC tournament title,” Yuncker said, “and we’ll continue from there.” After the doubleheader against Buffalo, CMU will head to Kent State for two more games this weekend. sports@cm-life.com

wins against Oakland pushed the Chippewas to a win streak of seven. Central Michigan holds a conference record this season at 3-1, putting them on top of the Mid-American Conference. After the set of games this weekend, the Chippewas have more than 10 conference games to go until postseason play. The conference tournament will be held in Akron, Ohio. sports@cm-life.com

Quidditch or Battleship are up for grabs. Referees for these sports are given even less training than traditional intramural sports. “We don’t want to force anyone to referee a sport if they don’t want to,” Alpert said. “We give them a briefing about the rules and then it’s kind of learn as you go.” sports@cm-life.com

Gymnastics expectations for 2015 at an all-time high By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

A fifth-consecutive Mid-American Conference Championship. Three individuals advancing to the NCAA national championships. The 2014 gymnastics team might be the best team in program history and they’re just getting started. “I have to say that this is the most talented team top to bottom,” said head coach Jerry Reighard. “In past years, there have been many individuals that have had the same talent sets that our gymnasts have, but not the numbers.” The most exciting part about the 2014 team is there are only

two seniors graduating: Brittany Petzold and Emily Heinz. “Those are two big events that we need to make up,” said junior Taylor Noonan. “We have some good incoming freshmen and also some other girls on the team that didn’t compete much this year that have a lot of ability. I’m really excited, especially

with six seniors (going to nationals) is going to definitely be a doable feat.” For a program with 15 MAC championships – all of which coming in the last 24 years under Reighard – being the most talented team is no small feat. In the 2003-04 season, the team sent four individuals to nationals

four incoming freshmen to compete with the current gymnasts to improve on the team’s two weaker events — vault and uneven bars. “We have some excellent vaulters coming in and really good bar workers,” Reighard said. “The people that didn’t compete on those events (this year) don’t intend on letting the freshmen have a shot. That’s very exciting because that proves to me that (the) intensity level will remain high.” Sophomore Taylor Bolender and junior Halle Moraw are two gymnasts likely to compete in all four events next year for the all-around. Moraw is one of three gymnasts that will compete at nationals April 18 on balance beam. “It’s just a great feeling

and scored the only two 197’s in team history. The 2014 team owns fourth through seventh place in the record books for the highest meet score. Noonan said CMU’s performance at regionals proves the team is worthy of national title consideration. CMU is sending Heinz, Noonan and junior Halle Moraw to the NCAA national championships in April 18-20 in Birmingham, Ala. “I think we really made a name for ourselves at this meet, coming in third, almost beating Georgia who’s the No. 6 seed in the nation,” Noonan said. “I definitely think we’ve set a standard for many years to come.” Reighard will look to

knowing that all the hard work that I’ve put in is paying off,” Moraw said. “Everything – all the pain and struggles I’ve been through – has all been worth it.” While the 2014 MAC championship trophy hasn’t even had enough time to collect dust, Reighard is ready to work on another one. “I’m very, very excited about next year,” Reighard said. “I’m really looking forward to it. I don’t think six (consecutive MAC championships) is out of the possibilities.” sports@cm-life.com

Taylor Bolender

Halle Moraw

The sophomore and Ohio native scored a 9.9 on floor in four of her last five meets and consistently scored around a 9.8 on bars. She also competed on balance beam in five meets in 2014. Reighard said Bolender will likely compete in all-around next year.

Junior Halle Moraw: The Clarkston junior averaged a 9.83 or higher for the season on vault and floor and is going to the NCAA national championships for balance beam. Moraw didn’t participate this year, but she anticipates being back on bars next season. She was the MAC individual champion on floor in 2013 with a 9.95.

After dropping its previous game at home, baseball will be on the road for a three-game series against Bowling Green. In games against three Mid-American Conference opponents this season, the Chippewas are 8-1. The combination of good starting pitching and timely offense has shown the team can compete with anybody. Going into the first game of this weekend’s series against the Falcons, CMU has a team ERA of 2.92, which is good enough for best in the conference. It is not only the best earned run average in the MAC, but the next closest team to the Chippewas is Kent State, who are nearly a full earned run behind CMU, with a 3.90 team ERA. Consistency on the pitching staff will be an important factor in seeing how the Chip-

pewas will stack up against Bowling Green this weekend. However, on the other side of the ball, Steve Jaksa’s lineup has been a source of consistency. Offensively, CMU is ranked closer toward the middle of the pack. Their overall .264 batting average is the sixth best in the conference, but this does not take away from the clutch and timely hitting the team has received since the beginning of the season. The dual threat of Logan and Nick Regnier has been a major factor in the Chippewas offense. Logan, a sophomore, and Nick, a junior have scored a combined 62 runs this year, putting them in the top two on the team in the category. This is a positive sign not just for the brothers, but for CMU’s offense as a whole. The scoring proficiency of the Regniers shows that collectively, CMU is doing a good job of cashing in on scor-

Track and field seperates for weekend in Kentucky and Pennsylvania By Jeremy O’Neill Staff Reporter

Central Michigan track and field will be splitting its squad and competing in two different events this weekend. A portion of the team will be competing in the Hilltopper Relays on Friday and Saturday, hosted by Western Kentucky in Bowling Green, Ky. The rest of

the team will be competing at the Bison Outdoor Classic on Saturday and Sunday hosted by Bucknell University in Lewisville, Pa. The weather is expected to be friendlier to the competitors this weekend than in the past, as it is expected to be 75 degrees with winds up to 15 mph in Bowling Green. The weather in Lewisville will

ing opportunities. As a team, the Chippewas have a .365 on-base percentage and 151 RBIs, 30 more RBIs than their opponents. This has translated to CMU outscoring opponents 182-140 this season. Bowling Green will be defending Warren E. Steller Field. They come into the three-game series experiencing varying levels of success with an overall record of 12-17 and a 4-5 conference record. First pitch for Friday’s game is set for 1 p.m. After facing the Falcons, CMU will then return to Theunissen Stadium for a game against Michigan State before going back on the road, to take on Northern Illinois for three games and Notre Dame for one. sports@cm-life.com

be 60 degrees with winds of only 5 mph, but there are chances of some precipitation. This fares much better for pole vaulters, who struggled with harsh winds in the opening of the outdoor season. The Bison Outdoor Classic is an outdoor non-teamscoring event and is open to invited collegiate teams, clubs and unattached athletes. The athletes have to meet the minimum standards listed by the committee to be able to compete. Last weekend at the Auto-Owners Insurance Spartan Invite, the track and field teams only had one first-place winner. Sophomore thrower De-

vene Brown took first in the discus throw with a mark of 179 feet 3 inches. Brown’s mark broke Deven Brown her previously held program record of 177 feet. “I was happy that I broke my record last weekend,” Brown said. “But I’m excited to try to break it again.” Brown said. The first-place finish gives the track and field program 10 first-place finishes on the outdoor season between the first two events. Central’s competition at the Bison Outdoor Clas-

sic will include Bucknell University, whose men’s track and field team are coming off a solid weekend of competition at Zable Stadium and the Dan Stimson Throwing Events Area last Saturday, compiling 101.20 points to claim the team title at the Colonial Relays. CMU will face tough competition in Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers’ Jessica Ramsey, Elvyonn Bailey and Tomas Guerra all earned Sun Belt Conference players of the week for last weekend’s performances at the Florida Relays. Ramsey shattered the Sun Belt Conference and WKU record in the shot put last weekend with a
