CMU junior dies Sunday after falling 4 stories in Grand Rapids Member of club hockey team, Zachary Bunting, 21 ‘would do anything for you’; roommate calls incident ‘mind-boggling’ By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter
Central Michigan University student Zachary Bunting, 21, died Sunday morning after falling four stories inside an entertainment complex in Grand Rapids. At approximately 2:10
a.m., Grand Rapids police responded to a call that a man had fallen at The Big Old Building, 20 Monroe Ave N.W., and found Bunting at the bottom of the stairwell, according to a GRPD news release. He was pronounced dead on scene. Witnesses told detectives the Grand Ledge junior sat
on the railing, intending to slide down it, and lost his balance, falling from the fourth level to the bottom of the open stairwell. GRPD Lieutenant Dave Schnurstein said no foul play is suspected, and it is unknown whether alcohol was involved prior to Monday’s autopsy.
The B.O.B. is a downtown Grand Rapids entertainment complex that houses restaurants, lounges and a brewery. Bunting was a defenseman on the CMU men’s club hockey team. His teammate and roommate at the hockey house on Deerfield Road, Ricky Jones, said Bun-
ting was hanging out with friends at the B.O.B. after attending the Grand Rapids Griffins hockey game earlier in the evening. Jones said he will remember Bunting as one of the nicest people he has ever met. “A lot of people say this about people who have
passed, that they were such a good person, but it is completely an understatement to say he was a good person,” Jones said. “He would do anything for you. To have this happen to him … is mind-boggling.” A BUNTING| 2
Franklin Village FBI raid executed on behalf of Los Angeles division By Tony Wittkowski Senior Reporter
The FBI agents who raided an apartment in Franklin Village Thursday, acted on behalf of the agency’s Los Angeles division. L.A. Division spokesperson Arie Dekofsky confirmed Friday the raid was executed on behalf of the L.A. division for the FBI but involved agents from the Detroit division. “I can confirm that special agents with the Detroit field office executed a search warrant in Mount Pleasant, Michigan,” Dekofsky said. “The search warrants are under seal, so I am prohibited from commenting further.” Dekofsky and FBI Detroit Division Media Coordinator Simon Shaykhet said the warrant was sealed, leaving all other information not open for public record until the investigation is complete. “Search warrants are used to gather information, and since it is still an ongoing investigation, we are limited in what we can
release,” Dekofsky said. It is still unknown why a search was conducted in the apartment, if any arrests were made or why the order came from Los Angeles. As previously reported by Central Michigan Life, around 9 a.m., several witnesses heard loud knocking on the door of apartment 4E at Franklin Village, 1333 Gaylord St., before noticing FBI vans outside of the apartment building. “There were FBI officers down in the parking lot using their walkie-talkies,” Nicole Spencer said. “They kept knocking, and I heard one of them say, ‘We don’t have time for this. Open up,’ so I guess there must have been some kind of exchange, because they got into the apartment.” The Farmington senior lives next door to the raided apartment but said she did not know the man who lived there and had only seen him on moving day. “He had a grill on his porch, A FBI| 2

Student media board names four candidates for director position Public interviews scheduled for April 23-24 By Kyle Kaminski Senior Reporter
The Central Michigan University Media Board has named four candidates as finalists in the search to fill Neil Hopp’s position as Director of Student Media and Publications upon his retirement in May. All finalists will have a halfhour public interview in the Central Michigan Life conference room, 436 Moore Hall. Robert Naylor, a 20-plus year employee of Associated Press who has held journalism positions at both the professional and academic levels, will be the first candidate to be interviewed. Naylor was laid off from his director of career development and news position at the Associated Press last year after the
paper eliminated his position. Naylor’s interview will take place from 11:30 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, April 23. James Knight, who received his bachelor’s degree in journalism from CMU in 1984 and has held several jobs in the field, is the second candidate to be interviewed. Knight has held editor-level positions at the Huron Daily Tribune, Annapolis Capital, the Jackson Citizen Patriot and the Ann Arbor News, most recently sports editor at AnnArbor.com, before moving to his current position as Manager of Human Resources Communications at the University of Michigan. He is married to Sherry Knight, CMU’s associate vice president for university communications. Knight’s interview will take place from noon to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 23. Dave Clark, editor-in-chief of The Big Rapids Pioneer, was announced as the third candidate for the position. A STUDENT MEDIA| 2

A full house eagerly awaited the 15th annual Threads Fashion show in Plachta Auditorium in Warriner Hall Saturday to bring interpretations of movies to life. “We just want everyone to see the talent all of our student designers have,” said Morgan Bregitzer, co-producer of the show. “This major is full of amazing, talented people, and being able to put it in a show and being one of the people to produce it ... it’s such a great honor to be able to showcase all of it.” The Sturgis senior said this year’s fashion show was like no other,
because she and Warren senior Lindsey Peters, the other co-producer, worked off the same vibe and wanted to make this event something bigger than just another fashion show. “We wanted it to be something that really captivated the audience, which is why we had the screen and the crazy theme of movies,” Bregitzer said. “And we just wanted to see designers run with it. And I think we ultimately made this thing an experience rather than just a show.” A SHOW| 2
Obama’s 2014 budget invests in Dept. of Education By Wyatt Bush Staff Reporter
RICHARD MESSINA/HARTFORD COURANT/MCT
President Barack Obama spoke at University of Hartford on Monday, April 8, 2013, in West Hartford, Connecticut. On the eve of the gun control debate in Washington, Obama pledged that the country would not forget the shooting in Newtown.
President Barack Obama’s $3.78 trillion 2014 budget proposal features new investments in education and some notable changes to entitlement programs such as Social Security. Obama’s budget, among other things, allocates $71.2 billion to the U.S. Department of Education for the 2014 fiscal year, which translates to an increase of 4.5 percent for the department. A few higher education reforms include $1 billion toward the Race to the Top competition
to further college affordability and $8 billion for partnerships between businesses and community colleges to better align education with workforce needs. The budget would support the funding of Pell Grants for more than 9 million students, a 50-percent increase from 2008 levels. Students who receive Pell Grants will experience an increase in their maximum value from $5,645 to $5,785. Central Michigan University Economics department chairman Paul Natke said there is a reason for the federal government’s furthered involvement in education spending.
“Apparently, there is concern that local school districts have seen decreases in local funding,” Natke said. “The federal government might be stepping in to further supplement local spending.” Economics professor Jason Taylor said it is important to consider federal education spending is relatively small when compared to state and local sources. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, federal spending accounted for approximately 9.6 percent of total K-12 revenue in the 2009 fiscal year.
Other notable features of Obama’s budget include investing $12.5 billion to hire and prevent the release of teachers, $659 million for school turnaround grants, and a Preschool for All program that would invest $75 billion over a 10-year span toward providing universal preschool education. Aside from increased education funding, one of Obama’s more notable and controversial proposals involves the implementation of a chained Consumer Price Index to more accurately reflect cost of living A BUDGET| 2

Shortly after Spencer and her boyfriend heard the knocking, they looked outside and saw men with the letters “FBI” on the front of their bulletproof vests. “We did go out and ask the officer in front of the door what was going on and if everything was OK,” Spencer recalled. “He said, ‘You’re really safe,’ and ‘We can’t say what is going on,’ and ‘It is just an investigation right now.’ We saw a police car leave, but we didn’t see anyone in the back of it.” metro@cm-life.com

SHOW | CONTINUED FROM 1 Ashley Pinter was one of 24 student designers featured in the show and chose to model her collection after the Disney classic ‘Cinderella.’ “It’s always been my favorite movie since I was a little girl, and I love doing ball gowns and stuff,” the Burton senior said. Pinter said she was inspired by the ballroom gowns and used a lot of tulle and satin when creating her designs. During the presentation of her collection, Pinter showcased a modern Cinderella dress that was a shimmering light shade of blue. There was also a heart-shaped top sparkly white wedding dress that modeled after Cinderella’s very own. Kristine Opaleski said the fashion show is “a way to signify (her) growth as a designer.” “I was inspired by ‘The Lion King,’” the Milan junior said. “I find the movie very majestic.” Throughout the show, Opaleski’s designs consisted of abstract animal prints, woven leather and flowy dresses with natural and earthy tones. CMU alum Kristin Lamarre participated in the Threads
BUNTING | CONTINUED FROM 1 Bunting was studying political science at CMU, with aspirations to go to law school. He graduated from Grand Ledge High School in 2010. CMU club hockey head coach Mike Willett said Bunting had an upbeat spirit and was well-liked on the team. “He was a good person and a real good defenseman,” he said. “Talking to my assistant coach from last year, he said Zach was the most polite guy on the team and probably gave him the most respect, and that doesn’t surprise me; that’s Zach right there.”

Lamarre said after seeing the fashion show, she’s ready to return. “I was really excited about the theme this year,” the Auburn native said. “I’m really into movies, and I feel like I get a lot of my inspiration from it. So I was really excited to see what they all came up with.” Rochester senior Allison Pavla modeled in the fashion show. She wore a peplum shirt, leather panel leggings and huge platform shoes. She was going for an “edgy” look for her roommate Chloe Scudder’s design. “(Chloe used) ‘The Dark Knight’ as a theme, so we’re trying to have something very dark and angry-looking going through our heads so we can stay fierce,” Pavla said. Scudder chose “The Dark Knight” and tried to keep her collection cohesive by using shades of deep blues, gray, white and black. “I tried to turn it into feminine but still kept a unique roughness to it, as well with leather and the softness of sheer fabric,” the Holland senior said.
BUDGET | CONTINUED FROM 1 increases when calculating Social Security and Medicare benefits. Current estimates state a chained CPI would generate $124 billion in tax revenue (by inadvertently pushing some individuals into higher tax brackets), in addition to reducing Social Security liabilities by
$130 throughout the next 10 years. Obama’s budget has left both parties feeling uneasy, with liberal Democrats upset over entitlement cuts and conservative Republicans not happy with new stimulus spending measures. U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, RMidland, said he looks forward to working with the Obama administration on entitlements, though he is not sold on Obama’s budget as a whole. “Our country faces great

Willett said Bunting was a candidate for vice president or president of the program within the next two years and was a man others would follow because of the way he carried himself. Jones said he and his roommates met with Bunting’s family Sunday afternoon and talked about memories they shared with Bunting. “We talked to them about little things, and they liked hearing from us,” Jones said. “The first thing his mom said was she was worried about us, which goes to show the character of his family and how he was raised.” The family, as of Sunday, has not made funeral arrangements. university@cm-life.com

NEW VENTURE COMPETITION
After failing to make it past the first round in 2012, Samantha Fiani was not planning on entering this year’s New Venture Competition at Central Michigan University. But after meeting with Debra Zellner, executive director of the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship, and Associate Director Robby Roberts, she quickly changed her mind. Fiani, a CMU graduate student working on a Master of Arts in Recreation and Parks Administration, took suggestions from the judges last year and recreated her product — solar-powered safety lights for bicycles that give the cyclist the option of charging electronics on the go. Going back to the drawing board paid off on March 22 when Fiani and team members Joe Shaheen, a Flushing sophomore, and Tyler Dunbar, an Adrian sophomore, won the $30,000 Best Overall Venture award, beating out 30 other teams. “It was a surreal feeling,” Fiani said. “That’s really the only way I can describe it. We put so many hours and days, weeks, even months of work into it, and to have that actually pay off, it was amazing.” Fiani said they were extremely well-prepared to answer any questions by the judges. “This year, we practiced a lot before the competition,” she said. “We really had everything down; we were wellorganized. We were prepared for all sorts of questions.” Mott Community College is currently creating a prototype for their project, and it should be ready for manufacturing in about a month. Fiani is an avid cyclist herself and said her past commuting experiences led to the idea. “I’ve had to replace my bike lights numerous times, so it’s an issue I’ve been dealing with,” she said. “I’ve been commuting on my bike pretty much full-time since I came to Mount Pleasant in 2007, and that’s how it came about.” But, in order to build her idea into a company, she needed assistance with the business side. That is why adding Shaheen, an entrepreneurship major, and Dunbar, a finance major, proved to be beneficial. To determine the projected price for the product at $24.95, surveys played a major role. “We sent out surveys to bicycle clubs in Michigan and asked for their opinion on the pricing for a product like this, and we narrowed it down to what seemed to be the price most customers would be willing to pay,” Shaheen said. Their company, Solar Cycle Lights, LLC, also plans to donate a portion of its profits to the national bicycle safety advocacy group League of American Bicyclists. “We were trying to be competitive in any category, and one of them is a social venture category, so we are trying to cultivate a strategic partnership with the League of American Bicyclists,” Fiani said. “We also wanted to show our potential customers we are committed to bicycling safety as a whole.”

Gamer 4 life Weekend Local Area Network party attracts more than 200 to Finch Fieldhouse By Ryan Fitzmaurice | Senior Reporter
This was more than just a typical gathering of gamers. The typical college Local Area Network party involves 25 to 30 students in a lone classroom, according to event organizer, Central Michigan University alum Tim Rowlel. But, the Shot Gaming MegaLAN XV featured roughly 220 students, stretched across Finch Fieldhouse. The party is one of the biggest annual student events on campus and is hosted by Big Shot Gaming, otherwise known as the Student Electronic Gaming Association. Big Shot Gaming was formed in 2005 by three CMU students with a passion for computer gaming, according to its website. Participants competed in tournaments of popular multiplayer video games such as Team Fortress 2, Starcraft 2 and League of Legends. Competitors were also free to bring and play any multiplayer game they chose. Rowel said the event has been expanding every year, and the amount of people they bring in each semester is enough to even overwhelm the technological capabilities of Finch Fieldhouse. “We’re pushing the limits of this building,” Rowel said. “If we were to expand any
more, we’d have to consider other locations.” With enough students to nearly blow the circuits of Finch Fieldhouse, the building was lined with endless amounts of computer screens, with air mattresses and stray blankets lining the ground. This semester’s event, which lasted from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m Sunday, was a combined total of 30 hours long, and even some of the most hardcore gamers caught a few hours of sleep in between games. Grand Rapids resident Dan Merlow said the first time he attended the event, he slept at his computer desk. “It was pretty much the worst idea of my life,” Merlow said. “It was just painful.” Merlow rents out a local hotel room now, but other participants are more dedicated to the 30 hours of straight gaming. Graedon Mcrorie, who won first place in a team tournament, landing him and

his team members new gaming headsets, said he had only caught a few hours of sleep throughout the entire event. “I could have definitely saved myself a migraine by not coming here; I have one right now,” Mcrorie said. “(I’m) just dedicated, I guess.” Mcrorie, an Ontario resident, said he comes down from Ontario every semester because of the community he has found at the annual LAN Party. “It’s the social aspect of it that makes it worth it,” Mcrorie said. “I mean, I know it sounds kind of strange with everyone staring at their screens, but I’ve met a lot of cool people here who I have continued to be friends with after.” Outside of tournaments, participants had the ability to play any video games or movies they wished, or even
move to the front of Finch Fieldhouse to watch the tournaments streamed live. Midland senior Matthew White said he came to the event because of the increased competition the event provides, to both him and his roommates. “It’s just the tournaments; it allows you to be competitive,” White said. “My roommates and I are all here. If you’re competing against a roommate, it’s quite a competition.” White was rooting for one of his numerous friends, who had the screen name of Paladin, to win the tournament being streamed on the large screen. “I’m definitely rooting for Paledin,” White said. “But he’s a (trash) talker; he likes to yap a lot.” studentlife@cm-life.com
More than 30 Central Michigan University students will present research to some of Michigan’s most prominent political leaders Tuesday in Lansing as part of the Posters at the Capitol event. There, students will present findings from research done over a year-long period in fields that include cardiovascular studies, radio frequency identification, pancreatic cancer and fuel cell technology as an alternative means of energy to more than 50 invited politicians, including Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. “This is a great opportunity for students to discuss their research with legislators and for legislators to see firsthand the contributions CMU students are making in advancing research across a wide range of disciplines,” Director of Federal Programs for CMU Government Relations Toby Roth said via email. Freeland senior Kasey Kushion, along with three other CMU students, studied the relationship between vessel function and cardiovascular disease. The team’s study consisted of multiple steps, all of which were non-invasive, she said. The group began by gathering data from sixth graders from the Mount Pleasant, Shepherd and Beal City areas, like body mass index, the child’s blood lipid profile and the child’s resting heart rate. “Our team chose this study because it’s very new to the United States, especially in children,” Kushion said. “We loved the idea of this procedure being preventative in children. If we could determine a child’s risk for cardiovascular disease at that stage in their life, we might be able to predict their risk for cardiovascular disease as an adult.” Next, the team used an ultrasound machine to obtain the diameter of each child’s right brachial artery, located in the right arm. “A blood pressure cuff was placed around the forearm and was inflated past the child’s systolic blood pressure and held there for five minutes,” Kushion said. “Once the cuff was released, we took images of the artery every 30 seconds, for a total of 120 seconds. We then looked at the change in the vessel from baseline to its greatest dilation.” This process is called flowmediated dilation or FMD, she said. A RESEARCH | 5
‘Half the Sky’ movement raises awareness on human trafficking By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter
A worldwide, nationwide and now statewide issue has become a global epidemic. Human trafficking was the topic of discussion on Sunday afternoon in French Auditorium in the Education and Human Services Building by co-sponsors and co-hosts The Honey House Book Group, Zonta Club of Mount Pleasant, Hometown Health and the Chippewa River District Library. “Human trafficking is such a problem, and we wanted to help support the cause,” Zonata member Robin Sabo said. “We teamed up with the other sponsors and came together to develop an event that would bring awareness.” Theses organizations presented the “Half the Sky Full of Hope” Mount Pleasant movement, an event that came to be because of the 2010 book, “Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide” by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
According to book club member Jennifer Fields, The Honey House Book Group began to read this book because the documentary was going to be shown on PBS. While reading the book, they were instantly inspired to act. “What was so compelling to us was the abject brutality and oppression of women in places around the world that is not being addressed,” Fields said. “The overwhelming need for education and actions and the incredibly inspiring bravery and persistence of the girls and women who fought for their rights and to help other women.” The “Half the Sky” film was viewed for the first hour of the event, highlighting the gruesome trafficking that occurs in Cambodia. Directly following the viewing was a question-andanswer panel. The six panelist members included Michigan Sen. Judy Emmons, R-Sheridan, Kisten Bierlein from the Underground Railroad Inc., Jane White from the Michigan Human Sex Trafficking Tasks Force, Kathy Beebe
and Janelle Joslin from the Women’s Initiative of Mount Pleasant and Toni Davis, a representative from Women’s Aid Service Inc. “Our local agency contributed to the panel, because it is us saying, ‘Yes, we see and recognize the issue and will be accessible for services,’” Davis said. “We have been aware of human trafficking taking place, but it is not always labeled as it. As an agency, we are drawing connections and helping to make people aware of the issue.” Since the question-andanswer was open to the audience, most questions concerned Michigan and human trafficking in the state. “We realize that we have gaps and have not begun to address all of them. We are aware that there are centers in the state that are associated with trafficking,” Emmons said. “We are going to be working as legislatures to work on solutions, but it is going to be a long process for it to be done right, and it is going to take each one of us to make a difference and bring

awareness.” Donations made at the event will be distributed evenly between the Women’s Initiative of Mount Pleasant, Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force and the Half the Sky Movement. “People need to be aware of human trafficking,” Suttons
Bay senior Sean Riley said. “I know there was a lot of work put into this event, and there was a great turnout. There should be more events like these more often. This should be taking place over Ke$ha concerts.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Candidate for director of student publications poses major conflict of interest
I
‘No’ to Knight
n a professional sense, Jim Knight sounds like a great candidate for Director of Student
Publications at Central Michigan University. Working as a Human Resources consultant at the University of Michigan, Knight is a CMU and Central Michigan Life alum. But the search committee neglected to wholly consider the glaringly obvious conflict of interest when naming him one of the four finalists for Director of
Student Publications: his wife, Sherry Knight, serves as CMU’s Vice President for University Communications. Though members of the search committee informed CM Life Friday they were aware of Knight’s conflict of interest, this editorial board is taking a firm stance that
with such a significant conflict of interest, he shouldn’t have been named a finalist in the first place. We want to be clear that we are not speaking poorly of Jim personally, nor are we saying he isn’t qualified for the position. There are many other factors, such as this significant conflict of interest, that must be considered when hiring somebody to fill a major position at a public university. As an adviser to student publications, aside from the students who run it, the director has the most influence as to what is printed in CM Life.
This is worrisome, because actions speak louder than words. So, although Jim and Sherry might promise up and down that they will not let their personal lives affect their professional lives, there is no way that is feasible in reality. The director of student publications and the VP of university communications are two extremely influential positions at this university that play a tremendous role in how the CMU community receives information. For more than 90 years, CM Life has kept those in power at CMU in check, and those who graduate have had the peace of mind that this vision will not be compromised when they no longer have a hand in what ends up on the pages. If Jim is hired for Director of Student Publications, CM Life alums will cease to carry this peace of mind.
In addition, it’s not rare to see the administration unhappy with something CM Life runs, yet the publication continues to ask the hard-hitting, controversial questions to dig for truthful answers. If Jim becomes the adviser, who knows how that process will be impacted. Also, when would personal conversations become on the record? The line separating Jim and Sherry’s personal and professional lives would begin to blur, and that would undoubtedly impact Jim’s performance as a fair and unbiased adviser. The clear separation between CM Life and the administration is the foundation upon which our entire publication is built upon. If the board picks Jim as one of their final two candidates and Provost Gary Shapiro chooses him, that foundation will crumble.

A changing industry means doom and gloom
[ YOUR VOICE ] Online reader reactions to the April 12 story “CMU track & field in disarray? Five athletes leave, assistant coach fired, others say program in ‘downward spiral’” As an alumni and an athlete coached under (not by) Randolph, I have to say I am so sad to see where the program has gone but, we all knew it was heading there under his leadership (or lack thereof ). I hung on at CMU for all of my eligibility because I felt I owed it to my teammates and the coach I worked with and deeply respected (not Randolph), but I left with such a horrible feeling about the whole university my senior year because of him. Yes, his entrance into the program carried with it a lot of enthusiasm, and we performed well for one year… but we all quickly learned that much of what he said either didn’t make sense or was hollow. His leadership was all about HIM. Every meeting was about HIM. When will CMU Athletics step up and make the change that was needed two years ago? When will they replace Randolph with a leader who sets a vision but also holds student-athlete success above their own personal goals? Most importantly, when will CMU Track and Field athletes FINALLY step up as a group and say, enough? I wish all the transfers well wish you were valued enough to stay a Chippewa. -Women’s Team Alumni As a parent of a current CMU freshman track athlete, what I have read here sure raises a major red flag. It sounds like there is a major leadership problem that needs further investigation. When I asked my usually talkative freshman about this issue, he/ she did not want to talk about it; another red flag for me. Hopefully administration is taking this situation seriously and following up
and acts quickly, because I do see team moral fading fast. -Concerned Parent & Fan It is one thing to do a bad job as a coach, but to call around and bad mouth your former athletes to other coaches is unforgivable. We should all pray for coach Randolph, for he has lost his way. Success as a coach is through the talent and success of your athletes; be humble and let the athletes carry the torch. Clearly, he has forgotten how he was treated as an athlete himself. -Word is out As a member of the CMU track team when it was in its prime, I am truly disgusted by where this program has headed. I knew the first time that I met Randolph that the program was in trouble. His arrogance, his ridiculous recruiting tactics, his ignorance to alumni from the program… it was an absolute recipe for disaster. I have heard countless stories from former teammates that Willie would dismiss their suggestions of athletes to recruit because they weren’t “good enough,” only for those athletes to have very successful careers at other colleges. If that is any indication of how he runs his program on a daily basis, no wonder there are so many unhappy athletes. He has no idea how to be a COACH! It’s sad to see the program that we worked so hard to build up be in the place that it is now. -CMU Track Alum Administration needs to understand Randolph is NOT fit for the job. I’m not even a member of the team nor have I ever really been, but hearing from numerous track athletes whom I am friends with, am I the ONLY person who sees that it’s obvious he needs to be fired? If ALL of the sprint crew feels the same about the coach and the only person who

doesn’t see this is the director and after four STAR track athletes who have been there and are VETERANS as well as a freshman have left, then it’s beyond CLEAR that he is NOT the man for the job. Someone stop the madness! Especially with all the drama that has been going on with college coaches in general(i.e. Rutgers basketball coach), this should truly be a wake up call to CMU’s athletic administration. It’s sad to see such a good program spiral to the ground. Whenever asked a question, Randolph never even really answered the question, he laughed. Hopefully someone opens their eyes and puts an end to this. -Anonymous It sounds like a bad situation, but Willie might keep his job unless there is something more serious. Coaching a team with 80-100 athletes and have 5-6 leave is not grounds to fire the coach. There might have to be something unethical or more serious to see change in coaching leadership. Alumni or coaches seeing the A.D. would help the process of removing the coach. -Not Mike Rice I feel bad when people are put in this position of authority who should not have ever been in the first place. This is what happens. CMU Track and Field has been on the decline since 2008 time frame. These kids are brave to be coming out and publicly stating what has been going on. Do you know how hard that is? Of course the kids still on the team are going to be quoted anonymously, but that should be quite an impact that they’re even giving their opinion. Nothing is going to come of this, I think, but we will see. How about we assess people by their ethics and job performance? What a crazy concept!

Sometimes I wonder why I got into the journalism profession. As I get closer to graduation, I hear more and more about the “death” of the journalism profession. Sure, the industry has hit a rough spot or two. The number of newsroom reporters is down to about 40,000 employees nationwide as of 2011, from a recent peak in 2006 of about 55,000, according to a 2010 census of newsroom employees by the American Society of New Editors. Yahoo! recently ran an article listing “10 of the worst jobs for the future” with statistics from business and finance forecasting site Kiplinger, adding more to the so-called “doom and gloom” the newspaper industry is facing. “The ongoing shift toward the digital consumption of news continues to pressure newspaper and magazine publishers, as well as television and radio broadcasters,” the Yahoo! article said. With a bachelor’s degree, the most journalists can make is $51,050. The number of journalism jobs is also expected to decrease 7.5 percent. Others on the list, such as jeweler and door-to-door salesman, are surely going extinct. We don’t need door-to-door salesmen anymore. We need journalists, though. Our society survives (and even thrives) on a free press. The wording of the article makes the journalist out to be a dying breed. As journalism is adapting into a more digital-friendly world, report-
Sean Bradley Staff Reporter ers for brick and mortar papers are losing their jobs as these operations have shrunk to cut costs. This does not mean journalism as a profession is going away any time soon. The Los Angeles Times (4,356,555 readers) and New York Daily News (4,321,868 readers) lead the country’s top-25 newspapers for the year 2012 in reaching their audience in both print and online mediums, a Scarborough Research report said. Mail Online (with 50,067 unique visitors) and The New York Times Brand (48,695 unique visitors) lead the Top-10 Online Newspapers Worldwide, a comScore MMX survey said. The Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism reports 51 percent of those who obtain their news digitally do so on their smartphone. Seventy percent get their news solely from a desktop computer. The task of delivering news won’t change, but how we deliver it is changing and will continue to do so. Journalism is not going away, and it never will. The way we consume news is changing, not the fact that we need news. Perhaps that is why I am (and still plan to be) in the journalism field.
More alike than different
Jackson Seedott Staff Reporter I was 10 years old the first time I interacted with a child with special needs. It was in my mom’s classroom, where she would teach children who were dually diagnosed with a cognitive and an emotional impairment on a daily basis and has done so for the past 20 years. Following in her footsteps, I, too, plan to be a special education teacher one day. Some people say that it takes a special person to work with individuals who have special needs, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Anyone with a big smile and an open mind will fit the bill just fine. April is Autism Awareness Month, and, as I discovered, most people aren’t exactly sure what Autism Spectrum Disorder is. There are a lot of negative stereotypes associated with the disorder, but many people are reluctant to name the characteristics that are actually associated with ASD. As described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals of Mental Disorders, the Autism Spectrum includes a broad range of pervasive developmental disorders including Autism, Asperger’s and Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified. In the most recent reports, the rate of a child being born with ASD has soared to one in 50 children.
Much more common among males than females, characteristics of ASD include impairments in the areas of social interaction and verbal communication and include a tendency of repetitive movements. Coaching with the Special Olympics for the past two years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with and form friendships with athletes diagnosed with ASD. Through my experience, I have learned some valuable tips about working with people who have ASD, and I want to share those with you in case you ever have the opportunity to interact with an individual who has autism. Individuals with ASD, depending on the severity of their diagnosis, might avoid eye contact and become frustrated when verbally spoken to or given directions. Don’t be alarmed by this. They aren’t trying to be rude; it’s just how their brains work. Many individuals with ASD have a hard time picking up on verbal and non-verbal cues, such as when they are being offensive or rude. Again, they aren’t doing this on purpose. While no two individuals with ASD are the same, using pictures and written language as opposed to speech can be effective, especially when they are given options and are able to make their own decisions, such as what they would like to have for lunch. Bottom line, the most important things to remember are to be patient and to remember that they’re more like you than they are different. They have the same wants and needs, they desire to be treated with respect, and, even though they can’t process things the same way we do, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be treated any less than you would treat anyone else. Treat everyone with respect. After all, I believe that should become the new “r-word.”

Catey Traylor named CM Life’s fall editor-in-chief
John Irwin to lead paper in summer; Kylee Tolliver to head Central Review By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter
Central Michigan University’s student publications will see new student leadership beginning this summer. Three individuals were chosen to oversee both Central Michigan Life and The Central Review during the summer and next fall by the Media Board of Directors Friday. South Lyon junior Catey Traylor will serve as Editorin-Chief of CM Life for the fall 2013 semester. Traylor joined CM Life in fall 2011, working as a staff reporter and senior reporter before being promoted to university news editor in fall 2012. “My biggest goal for the fall semester is just to make sure that everybody’s on the same page, so that we can make the product the best it can be,” Traylor said. “Year after year, CM Life produces some of the best work in the nation.

is the place to be, and I want to keep it that way.” Westland junior John Irwin will serve as the paper’s summer editor-in-chief. Irwin joined CM Life’s staff as a freshman in 2011 and was quickly given opportunities to shine as a political reporter. “I was really interested in political journalism at that point,” Irwin said. “It turned out perfectly for me, because I ended up writing a bunch of stuff right from the get go.” Irwin served as a staff reporter in his first semester at CMU before becoming elections coordinator and, subsequently, managing editor. He said delivering the news online will be key during the summer because of the weekly production schedule. “Our readers still expect the high-quality journalism that we produce during the fall and spring,” Irwin said.

With this process, the team was looking to measure the size of the dilation. If a small dilation occurred, the child’s arteries are not as likely to expand, but if the artery is healthy, it can expand to a greater size. Kushion said if a child’s artery is not expanding very well, they could be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Finally, the team evaluated still images taken of the child’s right common carotid artery, located in the neck, looking at
the intimia-media thickness of the artery. “This is simply the measurement from the basement membrane of the innermost layer of the artery to the space (lumen) in the artery,” Kushion said. “If this measurement is small, the child has a healthy vessel. If the measurement is large, it means the child probably has begun the atherosclerotic process in his/her arteries.” She said her team’s research, findings and presentation will help others studying the issue as obesity becomes a bigger problem in the U.S. “With the growing obesity rate, especially in children, we
need to either take better action to prevent and reverse childhood obesity or we need more preventative, non-invasive methods of measuring the risk of CVD,” she said. William Saltarelli, professor of health sciences and the faculty adviser to Kushion’s team, said in a news release the event will help the students simplify the complex language so a mass audience understands. “It forces students to learn how to take all of their research, analyze it and present a summary of it on a poster,” Saltarelli said. university@cm-life.com

Softball goes 4-0 over weekend, sweeping Western, NIU By Ryan Solecki Staff Reporter
Softball had another successful weekend on the road, sweeping both Northern Illinois and rival Western Michigan in doubleheaders Friday and Sunday. “We just need to keep on winning because we know
other schools are also going to continue to win,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “We just need to take it a day at a time.” The team got off to a quick start in game two against the Broncos Sunday, with senior Macy Merchant posting a leadoff single and stealing second. The
would pile on the runs in the fourth inning. Sexauer started the inning off with a single and would cross the plate from a single to center field by sophomore Trista Cox. Senior Brogan Darwin and junior Brittney Horan would add an RBI of their own later in the inning to put the team up 5-0.
first two runs of the game came off the bat of freshman Katelyn Rentschler with a single that brought in Merchant and sophomore CarolAnn Sexauer. The second and third innings were dominated by pitching, with each team only posting a hit each. However, the Chippewas
WMU tried to make a late come back, putting runs on the board in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. But CMU would hold off the comeback by adding three runs off of three hits in the seventh inning, putting the final score at 8-4. The Chippewas got on the board first in game one, on four-
straight walks and an error in the top of the third inning. Junior Raechel Zahrn reached base in the fourth inning off an error and then stole second base. Merchant would bat Zahrn in on an RBI double to left field for her only hit of the game. A SOFTBALL | 9

have to just play your best despite the elements and learn from the situation. “You have to try to come together and put points on the board and get some momentum going,” Kater said. “A game like this where it’s freezing and you have the wind you have to get some momentum going, and I couldn’t really get the momentum going too much today. You just have to learn from it and move on.” Niznak said he felt really good throughout the game and said that the team’s ability to move the ball was great.
Baseball scored four runs in the ninth inning to win the series finale over Ball State, 6-3, Sunday afternoon. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, sophomore Cody Leichman was hit by a pitch to start the inning. After a sacrifice bunt by junior Noel Santos got him to second, a pinchhit single by sophomore Joe Houlihan tied the game at three. “Houlihan has been working really hard,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “He’s just starting to get more at-bats in the last couple weeks. We used a lot of guys today, and that ended up being a huge hit.” A single by sophomore Nick Regnier and a walk by freshman Logan Regnier loaded the bases for senior Jordan Adams, who doubled to right-center field, clearing the bases to make it 6-3. Freshman Jason Gamble worked a perfect ninth to secure a much-needed, series-winning victory. CMU’s bats were quiet on Saturday, losing 6-1. A solo home run by freshman Neal Jacobs was all the Chippewas could muster against BSU pitcher Scott Baker, who improved to 8-0 on the season. “He’s having a great year so far,” Jaksa said. “We didn’t have a lot of opportunities to score, and, the ones we did, we couldn’t get it going. He was pretty good. He had really good command and was able to throw a lot of different pitches in different counts. He forced us to get out of our approach a little bit.”

Friendly rivalry Quarterback competition heats up between Alex Niznak, Cody Kater with starting spot on the line By Mark Cavitt | Staff Reporter
With five quarterbacks on the roster and the starting spot yet to be filled, the competition is still progressing as spring football practice concludes. Head Coach Dan Enos said all the quarterbacks have shown great things this spring. “We’ll have to look at the video; it’s tough to say right now (who is the front-runner),” Enos said. “They’ve all done good things in the spring, didn’t get too many reps, and it’s hard along with different wide-outs playing. I thought Cooper (Rush) did some good things, and
I thought Alex (Niznak) showed some nice things. We think we have some good capable quarterbacks to choose from.” Five quarterbacks took the field in Saturday’s spring game, including junior Cody Kater (Gold), sophomore Alex Niznak (Gold), senior A.J. Westendorp (Maroon), redshirt freshman Cooper Rush (Maroon) and freshman Darrien Boone (Maroon).
Kater started for the Gold team and was 5-of-11 for 22 yards with one interception. Niznak threw two touchdowns and was 4-of-9 for 43 yards while also rushing for 35 yards on four carries. Enos said he really liked what he saw out of Niznak, especially in the last few spring practices. “I thought Alex has had a really good last week-anda-half of spring practice,” Enos said. “He’s getting very comfortable and has a lot of confidence. He can run, and he moved the team.” Rush led the Maroon team with 115 yards passing and one touchdown. He was 7-for-15 but also had two interceptions.
Boone and Westerndorp played sparingly toward the end of the game, while Niznak, Kater and Rush received most of the snaps during the game. Kater said that when it comes to a quarterback competition, it’s all about taking advantage of the opportunities you receive. “When you’re battling the other guys, you’re trying to get that one step ahead,” Kater said. “You don’t want to be the guy watching. (Competition) is good for you, and you learn a lot about yourself when it comes down to it.” With the weather conditions not being ideal playing conditions, Kater said you
Defense shines in spring game’s gloomy, stormy weather Saturday By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter
The snow swirled around Kelly/Shorts Stadium before the game, and it created a perfect opportunity for the defenses. A downpour that showered the players in the third quarter, mixed with inexperienced quarterbacks, caused the perfect storm for a defensive showcase in the spring game. But Central Michigan’s defenses were still deserving of credit, despite new quarterbacks stepping in and Mother Nature lending a hand. “The weather may have played a factor, so I give them the benefit of the doubt,” junior cornerback Jason Wilson said. “But I thought we read our assignments well and reacted well.” CMU’s defense, which was 100th in the nation in sacks per game and 119th in tackles for loss last season, broke into the
backfield with ease, whether it was the Maroon or Gold team’s defenders, for most of the day. “It starts up front on both sides of the ball,” Wilson said. “When the D-line is getting penetration like that, it just makes our job back there in the secondary and for the linebackers so much easier, and they’ve been doing a great job all spring.” Junior Leterrius Walton came out of nowhere for a sack for the Maroon team, when junior quarterback Cody Kater tried to scramble and forced a three and out to start the game. The Gold team blew up the first play of the second half with a tackle for loss, going right through the middle of the offense on a running play. Then it had two more tackles in the backfield in the same possession, forcing a punt. Head coach Dan Enos said it is the best defensive line he has had since he has been at CMU
and noted that senior defensive end Alex Smith, sophomore defensive tackle Jabari Dean and sophomore defensive end Louis Palmer did not see the field. When the defensive line was not getting sacks or tackles for loss, it was batting balls down and putting the quarterbacks into difficult situations. “(Defensive line coach George) Ricumstrict has done a great job. We’ve had more passes batted down this spring ball,” Enos said. “He does a great job teaching those guys to get in there ... and trying to disrupt things.” The secondary also had success, with three interceptions. Enos said they had a good spring, and the defense as a whole has been ahead of the offense, which has not been the case in previous springs. sports@cm-life.com

Maroon beats Gold 16-13 in annual spring football game Saturday By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter
The Maroon team found a way to beat the Gold team 16-13 in the 2013 spring football game, despite some non-spring weather. Maroon dominated early, jumping out to a 16-0 lead after one half, but two late touchdowns by the Gold team made it close during the last few minutes in the game. Head coach Dan Enos said he liked what he saw out of his team in the game but knows there is a lot more work to be done. “I’m very, very optimistic and very enthusiastic. I’m positive about our whole program,” Enos said. “We feel really good about the team. It’s going to be critical to get bigger, stronger, and we have to finish out academically, the right way. We can’t have any off-the-field problems. I think we will have the making of a good football team.” Senior running back Zurlon Tipton did not play in the game, along with sophomore running back Saylor Lavalli. Enos said that was all about getting other guys reps and that they have seen what they need out of those two players this spring. “We didn’t play Saylor (Lavallii) or Zurlon (Tipton) because we’ve seen enough of them this spring, and we wanted to get those other guys some reps,” Enos said. Maroon struck first on the first drive of the game as
redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush threw a 62-yard pass to junior wide receiver Titus Davis, putting Maroon ahead 7-0 at the 8:11 mark in the first quarter. Enos said Davis kind of talked the coaches into letting him play for a full quarter but had nothing but good things to say about what Davis brings to this team. “Titus is obviously supertalented. He loves to practice, and he loves to play,” Enos said. “He has great ability and is very explosive ... he makes people miss. Titus and Zurlon are two of the best players in this league. We’re lucky to have them.” Davis finished the game with two receptions for 76 yards and one touchdown for the Maroon team. Sophomore Jesse Kroll led the Gold team in receiving with two receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown. It was a slow start for the Gold team as they were shut out in the first quarter and trailed 7-0 after one quarter. Maroon also had two sacks on senior Cody Kater in the first. In the second quarter, Rush’s pass was tipped at the line by sophomore linebacker Tim Hamilton and intercepted by sophomore linebacker Jadon Cook at the 8:00 mark, giving Gold the ball at their own 25-yardline. The possession ended in a three and out for the Gold team. Redshirt freshman running back Martez Walker made it first and goal for Maroon at the one-yard line in the second

Check out a photo gallery of last night’s game on cm-life.com quarter before senior running back Tim Phillips punched it in for a touchdown, putting Maroon up 13-0. Phillips, Walker and junior Anthony Garland all got reps at running back. Enos said he has liked what he has seen all spring out of those three players. “I think Tim Phillips had a good day; he’s had a good spring and had really been healthy for the first time,” Enos said. “Anthony Garland has had a really impressive spring. Martez Walker is going to be an outstanding player some day.” Garland and Phillips both led their teams in rushing. Phillips had 11 carries for 57 yards and one touchdown. Garland also had 57 yards on 15 carries. Walker had 18 yards on the ground with nine carries. Sophomore defensive back Stefon Armstead intercepted Rush’s pass near mid-field but fumbled it after being hit by junior tight end Deon Butler
with less than a minute left in the first half. Maroon took over on downs. Redshirt freshman kicker Ron Coluzzi ended the half for the Maroon team with a 50yard field goal, putting them up 16-0 at the half. Sophomore quarterback Alex Niznak took over for Kater in the third quarter. Niznak led the Gold team down the field on his first drive for a touchdown. It was an eight-yard touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Ben McCord, making the score 16-6 Maroon after the missed extra point at the 6:28 mark in the fourth. On his second drive of the game at quarterback, Niznak led Maroon down the field again for another touchdown. Jesse Kroll caught the 16-yard pass pulling Gold to within three, 1613, with 2:40 left in the game.
Sophomore Taylor Lehnert started the game for CMU as he gave up four runs on nine hits over six innings. The team’s bats were anything but quiet on Friday, when CMU rolled to a 19-2 victory. The Chippewas sent all nine men to the plate in one inning twice in the game. With the game tied at two, CMU broke things wide open with a ninerun sixth inning to make it 11-2. It would add a pair of runs in the seventh and five in the eighth to make it 18-2. Sophomore pitcher Jordan Foley struck out seven Cardinals and gave up two runs on six hits over seven strong innings of work to improve to 6-1 on the season. “We were able to break
loose with a series of really good at-bats,” Jaksa said. “We blew it open, and we just kept on going, and that’s what you have to do. Friday was a very good day offensively for us.” Nick Regnier went 4-for-6 with four RBIs to lead the Chippewas at the plate, while Jacobs finished 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and Santos 1-for-4 with two RBIs. Sophomore Pat MacKenzie was 1-for-4, while Adams had a multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 with three runs scored. CMU returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Calvin College at 4:05 p.m. On Wednesday, the Chippewas take on Michigan State at Comerica Park in Detroit. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. sports@cm-life.com

TRACK & FIELD
CMU competes in Tennessee, Kentucky over weekend By Joe Judd and Mark Johnson Staff Reporters
It was another busy weekend for track and field as athletes ran in Tennessee and Western Kentucky on Friday and Saturday. Friday it was the University of Tennessee’s Sea Ray Relays, and then a handful of sprinters and hurdlers traveled to Western Kentucky University’s Hilltopper Relays on Saturday. Director of track and field Willie Randolph said he pleased with how his athletes performed this weekend, despite facing a busy schedule and some tough competition. “The competition was strong at Tennessee this weekend,” Randolph said. “It was good to see our kids come out strong and compete with some of the best.” Sophomore Bridget Doughty said she wanted to go out and stay aggressive. Doughty finished third in the women’s 400m hurdles with a time of 1:02.06 in Tennessee on Friday and on Saturday she came in first in the same event with a season-best time of 1:01.24 “I had great competition down there, so that helped fuel the fire for me and we brought a lot back with us that we can work on,” Doughty said. “It felt good to improve, but I’m still shooting to go even faster. This weekend made me more excited for next weekend because I know what things I need to improve on.” An all-important factor for Doughty and the rest of
the Chippewas that enabled them to stay aggressive was the weather. Competing in Tennessee and Kentucky was a drastic change to the cold and damp conditions that have plagued the Midwest in recent weeks. “It was between 60-70 and sunny both days, so it was ideal weather conditions for us,” Doughty said. Doughty was not the only one who made significant contributions to CMU’s effort. Junior Shawntoreah Turk had a quality weekend down south as well, finishing 13th on Friday in the 400m with a time of 57.27. She improved drastically on Saturday at Western Kentucky, where she finished in 10th in the 200m, earning a time of 25.40 along the way. “Everyone got good marks, so it makes us more excited for what’s to come,” Doughty said. The Chippewas also did a good job at increasing the number of Mid-American Conference qualifiers over the weekend. Freshman Marsielle McBeam and junior Sam Stein both qualified in the high jump with equal marks of 5-06. Adding to the qualifying marks was junior Krista Parks, who finished in the 5,000m with a time of 17:02.29. Senior Maddie Ribant had a time of 10:36.06 in the steeplechase competition and is now ranked 29th out of 48 athletes in the East Region. “We used this weekend to prepare for the MAC Championship meet,” Randolph said. “Competing on back-to-back days tested

MEN’S TEAM
After competing well for a few weeks in a row, freshman Craig Mauldin struggled with 3 fouls and did not place at the Sea Ray Relays at Tennessee. This comes after a few weeks of solid performances and top-10 finishes. “This was more about getting experience on a bigger stage,” Mauldin said. “I feel like I jumped pretty decently, I just had a hard time getting a legal jump off the board.” Saturday, Mauldin and some other jumpers traveled from Tennessee over to Western Kentucky and competed in the Hilltopper Relays. Mauldin didn’t have problems with fouls at this meet and finished seventh with his best jump coming at 21-00.50. The jump was good, but it was still considerably lower than some of his jumps at previous meets. Sophomore Dee Smith performed well with one of his best jumps of the season (23-4.50), placing third. The two meets this past weekend marked the first back-to-back meets that Mauldin competed in. He said that he liked the scheduling and that it helped him keep focus. “I actually liked it better,” Mauldin said. “The back-to-back on Friday
and Saturday gave me more time to focus on each event.” Now the teams return to chilly Mount Pleasant before heading back to Kentucky for the Louisville Invitational. sports@cm-life.com

Horan proves crucial at plate in softball’s sweep By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter
Junior Brittney Horan put up a solid weekend in four MidAmerican Conference victories against Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. She ended the weekend with four RBIs, giving her 20 on the season, while batting .307 in four games. “Brittney had some outstanding hits for us in key situations,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “When we really needed someone to come through, she was one of those players who did.” She helped pile on vital runs on Friday, in what would prove to be a close game against Northern Illinois. CMU led 2-0 entering the top of the fifth
SOFTBALL | CONTINUED FROM 7 Senior Summer Knoop would add two insurance runs with an RBI double to center field to make the score 4-0 in the sixth inning. Horan would hit Cox in off a single up the middle to put the game at its final score of 5-0. Senior pitcher Kara Dornbos would continue her season dominance with a complete game shutout, allowing four hits and no walks.
inning. With no runners on, she connected with a pitch that she launched over the left field fence to extend CMUs’ lead by three. “I was just going up there to try to hit the ball,” Horan said. “If it goes over the fence, it feels good, but I’m not trying to go up there to hit one every time.” Horan’s solo homer brings her total to three home runs on the season. She continued to extend the lead in the sixth inning. With one out and the bases loaded, she grounded out to third base but earned an RBI after scoring sophomore CarolAnn Sexauer on the play. The Huskies remained scoreless until the sixth, putting up a tame single run
Earlier in the weekend, the Chippewas had a doubleheader against another Mid-American Conference opponent, Northern Illinois. The team swept the Huskies off six home runs. Rentschler would hit her first two home runs of the season in game two as junior catcher Cory DeLamielleure continued her hot streak at the plate, adding two home runs. The team is hosting Bowling Green Friday at Margo Jonker Stadium. First pitch is at 1 p.m. sports@cm-life.com
before turning up the heat with five runs in the bottom of the seventh. It would not be enough, ending the game 7-6. Over the last seven games, entering play against Western Michigan, Horan was hitting .444 with 16 RBIs. She was one of only three players to earn a hit against the Broncos in their first meeting on Sunday. Broncos pitcher Becca Shemberger kept CMU from making contact but gave up 10 walks that opened important scoring opportunities. Horan would earn her third RBI of the weekend from such a scenario. Up 4-0 in the top of the seventh inning, freshman Trista Cox advanced to first on a walk. Freshman pinch runner Taylor Waters replaced Cox on the base
QB | CONTINUED FROM 7 “I felt comfortable when I got out there,” Niznak said. “I was encouraged by that and that things weren’t moving too fast. I had a couple passes that I’d like to have back, but I was happy that we didn’t go three and out. We didn’t have a big play but went right down the field, and that’s what you have to do to keep the ball away from the oppos-

path and scored the team’s final run from a single on a line up the middle by Horan. Senior Kara Dornbos shut out the Broncos, and the final score stood 5-0. In the second game, the team would once again take a commanding lead. Horan added to a three-run rally in the fourth inning with her fourth RBI of the weekend. She battled in a full count with a runner on third, finally hitting a single to center field in her only hit of the game. “I wanted to focus on hitting the ball better,” Horan said. “I feel more confident than I have been, and just getting hits keeps me going at the plate.” sports@cm-life.com
ing team.” Each quarterback on the team understands the competition going on for the starting spot, and Niznak said he embraces it. “I think that competition makes everybody better. I’m really excited about that. When I get up in the morning, it’s all about what can I do today to get better,” Niznak said. “The three of us that were out there (Saturday), we’re competing .” sports@cm-life.com
CMU wins first MAC series of season By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
Baseball was finally able to win a Mid-American Conference series this weekend after failing to do so over nearly the first month of conference play. Sunday’s ninth-inning rally allowed CMU to win two of three games against Ball State, and, after suffering several close losses over the early part of the MAC season, the victory was a big one. “Today, we came from behind to win a series,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “BSU didn’t really make mistakes; we just played well, and we were able to get a big series on the road.” Through four series against MAC opponents, the Chippewas have had several opportunities to win. CMU blew a
four-run lead in the ninth inning in a loss to Buffalo on March 23. On March 29, sophomore ace Jordan Foley had his only blemish on his record, despite holding Bowling Green to just one run after his team failed to support him at the plate. The team would go on to lose 1-0 in the Theunissen Stadium opener. It was a similar story on April 7, when Northern Illinois scored four runs over the final two innings to win the series finale at Theunissen Stadium. “We had to go on the road after some really tough losses in other series,” Jaksa said. “The loss on Sunday to NIU last weekend was a really tough loss to keep us from winning the series.” Despite some of the setbacks, Jaksa felt his team was close to getting the job done. “We hadn’t won a series yet,” he said. “Still, we felt like we were right there in a position to win a couple of them but couldn’t capture either of them. This weekend, we got the job done.” The win over the Cardinals improved CMU’s record to 15-19 overall and 5-7 in the MAC. It will look to continue the success when it continues MAC play next weekend at Toledo. sports@cm-life.com
