University spends five times more on student-athletes By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University spends about five times more per athlete than it spends on non-student-athletes. In 2010, university spending per athlete totaled around $51,000, not including debt service, while spending per student was $10,388, according to CollegeMeasures.org. The large difference is due to the unique needs of a college athlete such as travel, food and equipment. “A portion of those types of things might not be necessary for
a standard student experience,” CMU Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said. “But, those are required to be able to compete and to be part of an athletic program.” Dave Heeke Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services David Burdette said these unique needs can be compared to students in other programs who require more resources. “If you carve out a unit on cam-
pus, I’m sure you can find a science, technology or a different program that could have those similar highcost needs,” Burdette said. “From a finance officer’s perspective, I know that prudent approach is in almost every department. This is a fiscally conservative campus, and people watch their dollars, whether they are in biology or athletics.” However, Sonya Petrakovitz said she believes athletes receiving some resources at no expense is unfair to other students. “Art students have to pay for their own supplies,” the Cadillac
senior said. “They don’t get any benefit from the school because a sheet of paper is $10. And yet, that is what they love to do, so I don’t see a distinction there.” Nevertheless, CMU had the fourth-lowest subsidy in the MidAmerican Conference in 2011, which accounted for 70.7 percent of the athletic program’s revenue, according to USA Today’s athletics department finances database. The percentage ranked fifth in the MAC.

Improvements underway for international CMU students By Ryan Fitzmaurice Senior Reporter
Several improvements have been made to make international students’ arrival to Central Michigan University next fall less troublesome than in the past. Last September, Central Michigan Life published an article detailing the challenges international students face upon arriving at CMU. These problems include a lack of access to bedding materials, which resulted in many students sleeping without bedding for their first weekend here. Many students who arrived after Friday, Aug. 17. were also were unable to access the Internet until the following Monday and were therefore unable to contact their families. Jake Mcpartlin, a Lincoln Park senior and a second-year peer adviser to international students last fall, estimated 15 to 20 of 31 international students in Herrig Hall slept without any bedding for at least their first night, and at least 15 of those 31 students were unable to attain an Internet connection that weekend. Herrig Hall residence hall director John Johnstin said Residence Life has made several changes to their orientation next fall to make students’ arrival on campus far less strenuous. Students will now have instant access to bedding as soon as they arrive, Johnstin said. “When Residence Life hears about a concern or a problem, we quickly move to address it,” Johnstin said. “Starting last semester, we had bedding available to all arriving students on request. This will continue next fall.” Tracy Nakajima, director of International Students and Scholar Services, said the bedding will come with a nominal fee, but it will only be large enough to cover the cost and is not designed to make a profit. Johnstin also said Residence Life has worked with the Office of Information Technology to make readily available guest passes to students who arrive too late to set up a global ID, which is necessary to access the Internet on campus. Guest passes were available last fall, but much of the residence hall staff was unaware of their availability. Nakajima said the Office of International Affairs has also made improvements.

Banding together CMU students who volunteered at Boston Marathon: Boston a ‘strong,’ ‘welcoming’ city By Ryan Fitzmaurice | Senior Reporter
The Boston bombings have not done enough to stifle the spirit of Boston, students in the group Meeting Professionals International said at a press conference Friday.
MPI President and Manton senior Nick Viox and Ada senior Shelby King represented the group, which had 11 students volunteering at the Boston Marathon last week. The group was about five miles from the bombs when they went off. Despite this, King described the group’s stay at Boston as one of the “best experiences of her life.” She said was is the kinship found within the Boston community that made her experiences there so valuable, and she said the media has ignored that in its reporting of the incident. “Everyone is focusing so much
on the tragedy,” King said. “No one is focusing so much on Boston and the volunteers. Everyone has seen that video where the man fell down after the bombing, and then the next thing you see is several people running toward him to help. I don’t know where else you see that. I might have run away myself.” Viox also emphasized the sense of community in Boston. “The people there are so sensational, so welcoming. They really welcome you into their family,” he said. “Once you’re there, you are the Boston family.” The MPI members didn’t see or hear the explosions and slowly
found out about the events that occurred from authorities at the race and people tweeting and texting about them from home. The bombings did much to unnerve the group, as they had volunteered at the finish line where the explosions occurred only the day before. Nancy Brehm, one of the Boston Marathon volunteers from Central Michigan University, talked about her heightened appreciation of Boston after the bombing. “I went on this trip to Boston not knowing what to expect when volunteering for the Boston MaraA BOSTON | 2A

Top-25 Education Professors
By Samantha Smallish Staff Reporter
Three Central Michigan University professors have been named to the Online Schools of Michigan “Top-25 Women Professors in Michigan.” Mathematics professor Christine Phelps, journalism professor Elina Erzikova and Professor of Apparel Merchandising and Design Maureen MacGillivray were the three CMU professors who were recognized. MacGillivray, was first notified of being named to the list after being interviewed by Central Michigan Life. “I am humbled by it, and I’m curious. I wasn’t aware I was named to this list, but I’m also thankful to be recognized by it,” MacGillivray said. MacGillivray has devoted 30 years of teaching to CMU. She plans to
finish out her career at the university. In addition, MacGillivray devotes much of her time to work outside of the classroom, where she works for apparel manufacturing companies that are interested in using the body-scanning lab at CMU. MacGillivray also received the CMU Faculty Distinguished Service Award in 2012. Phelps was also honored upon being recognized. She said in an email: “I am honored to be recognized,” Phelps said. “It is always my goal to be the best instructor I can be for my students.” Phelps’ future plans include continuing to improve her teaching through research and application in the classroom. Phelps received the CMU College of Science and Technology Outstanding Teaching Award in 2012. Erzikova, who is an Association
of Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s Emerging Scholar and the 2012-13 recipient of the CMU Excellence in Teaching Award, was pleased to be named to the list. Upon being named, Erzikova said: “My initial reaction was a reaction of a typical PR person. I said to myself, ‘great. This is great visibility for CMU and the department of journalism,’” Erzikova said. Erzikova said she thinks the search took place independently; the organization responsible for selecting the professors didn’t contact the university beforehand. The organization looked at what awards were given to which professors and, from there, investigated without university aid. Erzikova said her future plans include winning more awards. She said she will use her successes to in-
spire her students in the classroom. “I will use (being named) as a teaching moment for my students,” Erzikova said “You have to compete constantly to win, and, after that, all your wins and awards will work for you. It’s like a snowball effect, and finally you’re on top.” In addition, psychology professor David Acevedo-Polakovich was named to the “Top-25 Psychology Professors in Michigan” list, and Professor of Educational Leadership Michael Gilbert and Professor of Teacher Education and Professional Development Jim McDonald were named to the “Top-25 Education Professors in Michigan” list.

A fire that engulfed a pole barn on E. Broomfield Road about six miles east of Mount Pleasant Saturday was extinguished by Shepherd and Saginaw Chippewa Tribal fire departments. There were no casualties or injuries. The cause of the fire, which occurred at about 2:30 p.m., is still unknown, according to Jon Kujat, a Shepherd Fire Department firefighter. Residents of the nearby home watched from an open garage door as firefighters soaked the charred remains about 40 feet from them. Ash fell from the sky like snow. “The siding on the house behind it is bubbled out from the heat,” Kujat said. Kujat said when they arrived, the building was already consumed by flame

I heard, and then saw for myself, how strong of a city Boston and the people there really are.” Two explosions occurred a few seconds apart near the finish line of the marathon at about 2:45 p.m. on Monday. Police have confirmed three people are dead and more than 180 were injured. Authorities identified two brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old boxer, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, as suspects.

Family members and authorities have identified the brothers as being of Russian heritage who have lived in America for the past decade. The brothers are suspected of gunning down Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier, 26, at the MIT campus in Cambridge, Mass., Friday morning. Later that day, Tamerlan was killed following a shootout with police, although it has not been confirmed whether he died from gunshot wounds or because his brother drove over his body while fleeing the scene. Dzhokhar was apprehended that night after a day-long search in Watertown, Mass.,

that shut down the whole town. He remains in serious condition and awaits questioning. Federal officials plan to question Dzhokhar without reading him his Miranda rights, citing a public safety exception that allows authorities to forgo reading the Miranda rights when the public might be in immediate danger. The American Civil Liberty Union released a statement Saturday condemning the decision, saying the clause is being applied too broadly. “We must not waver from our tried-and-true justice system, even in the most difficult of times. Denial of rights is un-American and will only make it harder to obtain fair convictions,” the ACLU said in the statement. studentlife@cm-life.com

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CONTINUED FROM 1A
teered to pick international students from the airports last fall fielded complaints that they rarely had sufficient information on the international student they were picking up. Nakajima said the Office of International Affairs will now supply volunteer drivers with a “driver handbook” next fall, which will better inform drivers of who they’re picking up. Additional processes will also be established to verify that drivers know which flight number the student has, when they will be arriving and where the student will be staying in Mount Pleasant. The OIA has also worked with a hotel to allow students who were unable to secure a residence hall room to stay at the hotel at a reduced rate.
Johnstin said Herrig Hall will also have guest rooms readily available. Interim Vice Provost of Student Affairs Claudia Douglass said she has had multiple meetings with international students at her home about their arrival to campus and the subsequent orientation. Douglass said in response to these meetings, the OIA has established an advisory committee made up of students. According to the College of Graduate Studies, the university plans to increase the number of international students from the 575 enrolled in the previous fall semester. studentlife@cm-life.com

ATHLETICS | CONTINUED FROM 1A The remaining revenue came from self-generated sources. “I think it speaks highly of the program,” Heeke said. “The way our program is managed, it is important that we continue to generate revenue to help offset the allocation that is necessary to fund the athletics program.” Although CMU was slightly below the MAC average in ticket revenues in 2011, it was above average in revenue from scheduling guarantees, corporate sales, contributions and camps. “The reason why our budget works is we have one of the highest self-generated revenue sources in the conference,” Deputy Director of Athletics Derek van der Merwe said. “Our athletics department is generating a higher portion of our budget than all other MAC schools.” Heeke has scheduled notable away games the last few years, playing at Michigan State University, Kentucky and North Caro-
lina State University in 2011 and at Iowa in 2012. CMU also played at Virginia Tech in 2010. “It’s a critical component of our financial model in which we live in to selfgenerate revenues,” Heeke said. “Equally important, that puts us on a national stage. It exposes not only our athletics program, but our entire university, and markets in areas we would not normally receive that kind of attention.” With women’s golf and lacrosse being added as
varsity sports in 2014-15 and 2015-16, respectively, expenses will increase for the athletics department. As previously reported by Central Michigan Life, adding the new sports will cost the athletics department $964,148 over the next three years. “There will be costs,” Burdette said. “But those costs, the university will cover.” Heeke said these are important steps for CMU and the athletics program. “We’re proud to be a leader in growing and moving forward and continuing to remain in compliance with Title IX,” he said. university@cm-life.com

“Cancer doesn’t care who you are.”
Central Michigan University senior Benjamin Harris and junior Trent Wolf have been awarded first prize in the 2012 Students Reinventing Michigan competition. The Students Reinventing Michigan Corp. sponsors an annual competition open to all Michigan high school students and undergraduates. The goal of the competition is to challenge students to find solutions to problems facing the state legislature and the citizens of Michigan. The topic of the 2012 competition was how to prepare students who are entering college. The Allen Park natives’ proposal was entitled “Fixing Michigan Schools: Providing Michigan’s Students a Better Education Using Programs That Work.” “We focused on options for lots of students,” Wolf said. “Most students can benefit from this proposal.” Harris said many programs to improve education already exist but need more funding. He said for their proposal, they focused on realistic solutions that would benefit a vast swath of students.

Central Michigan University President George Ross also spoke before leading the first survivor lap at Relay for Life about his own battle with cancer. “We’re here to not only celebrate survivors, but also the caregivers,” Ross said. “I’d like to publicly thank my wife, Elizabeth. I couldn’t have done it without her support.” This year’s Relay for Life

had about 800 registered participants, a number that Relay for Life of CMU Director Kristin Adams said was right on target. “We’re hoping to raise $70,000 this year, because last year we raised $60,000, which was amazing, but we can top it,” Adams said. Adams said the Colleges Against Cancer Committee at CMU recruited ath-
letes, Greek Life and other registered student organizations to help with the fundraising. Adams, a CMU alum, also discussed her emotional tie to the Colleges Against Cancer committee at CMU. “My boyfriend in college battled testicular cancer, and we felt lost on campus until we met people we could talk to about our
challenges we faced,” Adams said. “It’s important for me to make sure people in a college atmosphere know everyone is affected somehow and there are people you can talk to.” Stephanie Snyder, a member of the Student Athletic Training Organization, worked a table at Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research.

Catholic, Episcopal priests debate gay marriage on Hyde Park Day By Ryan Fitzmaurice Senior Reporter

Their proposal encourages lawmakers to approve funding for educational programs including improved early childhood development, improved teaching methods at the high-school level and vocational training. Ossineke senior Amberly Dziesinski’s proposal entitled “Rising to Success: A Vertically Integrated Approach to College Readiness” was awarded second place. She said her proposal encourages collaboration between educators and officials at the secondary and postsecondary education levels to define and set common goals for college readiness.
Two pastors debated the merits of gay marriage Friday. The debate, held in the Moore Hall Kiva between the Rev. Denis Heames of St. Mary’s University Parish Catholic church, 1405 S. Washington St., and the Rev. Wayne Nicholson of St. John’s Episcopal Church, 206 W. Maple St., emphasized the diverse opinions held on the subject in the Mount Pleasant community and also within a Christian context. Heames, who represented the Catholic Church in the debate, said the church’s position, as well as his, is that gay marriage should not be accepted by society because he believes it redefines marriage in a way unaligned with God’s teachings. He discussed his stay in California during his early adulthood, where he met and knew homosexual people and couples. “The gospel is not something we slap on top of life; it stems from a place inside life, within life,” Heames said. “... When I looked at the
homosexual community, at their commitment and their love, that was different from the commitment between my father and mother.” Heames said gay marriage has a negative effect on children. “To redefine the nature of marriage is to break down this bond of a child who has an absolute right to know his biological father and mother,” Heames said. “It is an absolute right.” Nicholson, who identifies as part of the LBGTQ community, said he and the Episcopal Church support gay marriage, but the church’s and his opinion alone were not strong enough grounds to dictate the laws of the country. “We live in a society where the church is separated from the state,” Nicholson said. “I don’t believe my faith should determine what laws you live under.” Nicholson said gay marriage proponents are often accused of redefining marriage, and on those grounds, he said the opposition is right.

Immigration reform bill provides path to citizenship, funds for border fence By Wyatt Bush Staff Reporter

President Barack Obama meets with members of his national security team to discuss developments in the Boston bombings investigation, in the Situation Room of the White House, April 19, 2013 in Washington, D.C. Pictured, from left, are: FBI Director Robert Mueller; Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; Attorney General Eric Holder; Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken; and Vice President Joe Biden.
A bipartisan immigration reform proposal in the U.S. Senate would radically overhaul the United States’ immigration system and provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. The bill, crafted by the so-called “Gang of Eight,” a bipartisan group of senators, would create a path to citizenship for the 11-12 million unauthorized immigrants currently residing in the nation. Under the bill’s structure, illegal immigrants might become residents after an approximately 13-year waiting period and paying $2,000 in fees. Those who were brought as youths would receive green cards in as soon as five years, after which they would immediately be eligible
for citizenship. The bill allocates an additional $4.5 billion dollars to increase border security; $3 billion of which is appropriated for the surveillance and patrolling of the U.S. Mexico border. The remaining $1.5-billion appropriation is dedicated to the construction of a fence on the border. Central Michigan University College Democrats Vice President Taylor Gehrcke said the proposal was a compromise where both sides made concessions attempting to create a more secure border while addressing the illegal immigrants already living in America. “I think it’s a step in the right direction, and (immigration reform) has been in need of (being) taken care of for a while,” the Comstock Park sophomore said. Vice-Chair of the CMU
College Republicans Mike Holmes also called the bill a step forward. “Any type of program that has the ability to create a system in which we, as a nation, can work together with millions of undocumented immigrants seems, at this time, to be the best option,” the Grand Rapids junior said. “Many call this amnesty, but, at this point in our history, this seems to be a logical option; however, basic amnesty is not what this plan calls for.” Additionally, 250,000 merit-based visas, a special unlimited visa for foreigners to start a business in the U.S., a maximum of 180,000 visas for skilled workers and 200,000 low-skilled worker visas would potentially be allocated to immigrants annually.

Third-annual Chip River Run racers brave cold weather, flooded river By Sam Fitzpatrick Staff Reporter
Charlotte Bodak/Staff Photographer
Runners participating in the Chip River Run run through Mill Pond Park Saturday morning.
Not even a flood could stop these runners. The third-annual Chip River Run was held at Island Park in downtown Mount Pleasant Saturday on a chilly morning. Because of the flooded park, nearly all of the routes and runners had to be re-directed from the Main Street entry gate to City Hall’s parking lot, where the registration tents and information could be found. Shivering runners gathered around the tents to quickly memorize which routes they would be taking due to the last-minute changes, which were now north of the original routes. Runners were given the options of running a 10 or 5K or two half marathons divided into two parts. This was also the first Michigan Half Marathon Se-
ries held by Central Michigan University’s registered student organization Club Running. Scott Cooke helped promote Club Running’s name to further reach the Mount Pleasant area and gain the interests of runners in the area. “I’m not running,” the Bloomfield Hills senior said, adding that he was there to volunteer. “Club Running teams up with this race every year.” Because of the park’s wet conditions and confusion among the runners, the start of the event had to be delayed until 9:15 a.m., and, out of the 200 runners registered for that morning, only about 100 were present. However, that did not stop Midland residents Laura Leboeuf and Adrienne Bowman. “We picked up running last year,” Leboeuf said. “And we’ve just been going
with it ever since, and this will be our second 5K together. We’re pretty excited ... This is actually colder than the first one we ran in November.” Bowman said they’ve been training for the event and braving the cold temperatures since late 2012. “We started running last November, and we casually kept it up over the winter,” Bowman said. At about 9:45 a.m., the first wave of runners reached the finish line, which was located on Broadway Street, where every runner was welcomed with cheers. Tents were also relocated across the street in the Broadway Health Services’ parking lot, which was full of complimentary water and bananas for the runners to rehydrate at the end of their races. studentlife@cm-life.com

Alumnae run Coldwater consulting firm By Katelyn Sweet Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University alumna Hillary Eley said her relationship with fellow alumnae Courtney Dirschell and Lori Gunthorp is like an automobile mechanic shop. “It’s like we share a garage, and each have our own specialty tools,” Eley said. “People might come in and get a full service, or they might have only specific needs.” Eley, Dirschell and Gunthorp are the co-creators of 2nd Story Marketing, a full-service marketing consultant and eventplanning agency designed to help small businesses in Coldwater, Mich. “So many small businesses can’t afford a full-time marketing/PR employee, but they can afford a consultant,” Dirschell said. Eley said, while on vacation, she and her husband started discussing their dream jobs. “I told him I wanted to own my own business that would
help small businesses market effectively on a proactive level,” she said. “He dared me to do it. He said, ‘I’ll give you a year to make it happen’, so I did.” Eley graduated from CMU in 1994 with a degree in marketing, and, right after graduating, she moved to Charlotte, N.C. to work at an advertising agency. She eventually moved back to Michigan and worked at the Chamber of Commerce in Coldwater for 13 years. “(My previous jobs) were a great learning environment and networking opportunity. I met so many people who knew what I was good at and who helped me gain more clients,” Eley said. “But, it wasn’t my dream job.” Gunthorp, who graduated from CMU in 2011, said her first job after college couldn’t have been a more amazing experience for her. She started at Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater as the special events and marketing coordinator, where she was responsible for executing events and receptions, implementing
marketing strategies and managing a database of more than 3,000 members and volunteers. “Because there was no room for growth in the organization, I jumped at the opportunity to work alongside the ladies of 2nd Story Marketing,” Gunthorp said. Gunthorp said she regrets not getting involved in academic and social organizations in college that would have opened more doors for her post-graduation. She said she is trying to make up for it now. “I never say ‘no’ to any free seminar, networking event or volunteer opportunity, because you never know where your big break will be,” Gunthorp said. Dirschell, who graduated in 2001 with a degree in integrative public relations, said Gunthorp and Eley are hardworking, independent, fun and savvy businesswomen. “We work together without the formal rules of a partnership, which has been great for us,” Eley said. “If (the business)

gets bigger, there is a possibility things will change, but, right now, it’s just new and fun.” Dirschell said the women pool their resources and tools to create a successful environment working together and do not act as competitors. “I’m proud to associate myself with them. Together, we
make a great team, empowering and pushing each other to think big,” she said. The women of 2nd Story Marketing collaborate while keeping their independent businesses to avoid any difficult challenges that partnerships often face, Eley said. “We are also a referral source
for each other, so we all get to work on projects and tasks we enjoy,” she said. “It’s a very unconventional way of operating a business, but we are thriving and, most importantly, finding joy in our work.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Academics should be top priority on campus, not athletics
Jackson Seedott Staff Reporter
Finals will kill you The weather is finally starting to get warmer, and you’re talking to friends back home and making plans for the summer, but there’s one thing in your way: finals. It’s nothing new. We’ve all taken finals before, and we all know they come that first week of May every year without fail. Despite this, every year, the majority of students, including myself, find themselves scrambling and stressing at the last minute like that cranky old man who refuses to take his medication. Once vacant coffee shops and the quiet, desolate upper floors of the library become crammed to the max with students who are just now realizing you can’t skip class 15 weeks straight and ace the final overnight. All of a sudden, that to-do list that has been staring you in the face for the past three weeks is a nightmare from hell as you realize you have two ten-page papers and a 30-page final project all due within the next week and a half. Not trying to point any fingers here; I’m the worst offender of eternally putting off things on my to-do list. If you find yourself in my company, having too much to do in not enough time, try to relax and take a deep breath. While, yes, our situation isn’t the most favorable, it certainly could be a lot worse. At this point in my junior year, it appears everyone I meet has their own strategy to battle the demon that is final exams. Whatever your plan is for finals week, just make sure you have one. Personally, I like to make daily — sometimes hourly — productivity goals for myself and reward myself with anything from a Jolly Rancher to a trip to the always delicious Doozies Ice Cream Place, 1310 E. Pickard Road. If you find you don’t have a plan for getting all of the stuff you’ve put off until now done, maybe try that for starters. Log off Facebook, have a friend you trust change your password for you if it’s going to be that big of a distraction and sit down and set goals. Make sure they are challenging enough to force you to be productive but, at the same time, not out of reach. If you sit down at a computer for one hour, all distractions aside, with the possible exception of some comforting background music from Pandora, and truly give an effort at rubbing two brain cells together, you’ll be amazed at just how much of that final paper you can knock out in just 60 minutes. At the end of the day, just have a plan for finishing the semester strong. Finals will kill you, but only if you let them. Now, stop reading this and go study.

The wrong priority t a rate of $51,000 to $10,388, Central Michigan University spends five times
as much on its student-athletes than it does on its students.
Five times seems like a lot, but is it really? While some will argue the term is student-athlete and the students should come first, it’s important to remember not only do athletes bring money and students to the university, but the amount of scholarships, equipment, travel and food it takes to get athletes to CMU and then around the country drives up that number. Collegiate athletics in and of themselves require large amounts of funds to promote their respective programs. Some might say the cost of advertising and marketing of a university’s athletic programs is justifiable, because it is through this promotion that a university draws attention to itself, gains students and name recognition. Taking all of those factors into consideration might make the amount of money spent on ath-
letics justifiable, but there are still examples around campus that make us wonder if we are making athletics too much of a priority. Some buildings on campus such as Anspach and Grawn halls have seemed like they’ve been falling apart in recent years. Last summer, Anspach was fortunate enough to be afforded an upgrade, but it was the first significant renovation to be carried through since it was built in the 1960s. It is hard to believe this building, the busiest on campus due to a bulk of the University Program courses being housed there, would not be higher on the priority list. There’s also the grossly outdated and small Brooks Hall, which, after nearly a decade of proposals, is finally being supplemented with a new
biosciences building to accommodate the growing number of biology majors coming to CMU year after year. Academics should be a top priority to a university, and more of the university’s time and money should be going toward it. It is clear that is not the case at CMU when looking at the length of time it took to follow through on the aforementioned renovations, but something that did sprout up uncharacteristically quickly on campus is the Events Center. These kind of flashy choices, including the College of Medicine, might draw in new students initially, but when these same students take UP courses on other parts of campus, they will be sorely disappointed that, while they can cheer on the basketball team at the Events Center, they will suffer from unreliable temperate conditions when they attend classes. It’s obvious while academics at CMU hold value, when push comes to shove, athletics are of greater importance. That’s a trend we’ve seen not only here at CMU, but nationwide, and it is about time that should change.

[ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ]
Clark best choice for media director Of the three candidates vying for the position of director of student publications at Central Michigan University, I am personally familiar with two — Dave Clark and Jim Knight. Both are fine gentlemen with high standards of ethics. While I’ve never worked directly with Mr. Knight, as a member of MLive Media Group, I know plenty of people who have and have never heard a bad word about his professional background. I can say I’ve had the
privilege — and it was a privilege — to work under Mr. Clark for three years at the Pioneer in Big Rapids as the sports editor on his staff. After nearly nine years working in journalism in Michigan, there isn’t a person I’ve learned more from or whose professional relationship I value more than Dave Clark. He takes a vested interest in the professional development of every person on his staff and is a patient and thoughtful mentor. Not only is Mr. Clark an outstanding
leader and journalist, he takes a cutting-edge approach to applying yesterday’s journalist standards with the ever-changing look and feel of journalism of the 21st century. In short, Dave Clark would be a tremendous choice for the role CMU is seeking to fill. Thank you, Zeke Jennings Jackson Citizen Patriot MLive.com
Clark has ‘raised the bar’ I would highly urge you to consider Dave Clark from the Pioneer for the director position. While the updated story gives a few more details about Dave, it doesn’t begin to cover his commitment to the community and the level of integrity he brings
to the table on everything he touches. As President of the Mecosta County Chamber, I have had the opportunity to work with Dave and always know we are in good hands whenever he is involved. Since coming to the Pioneer, he has risen the bar for
future editors and will be missed should he relocate, but we all know his heart is with CMU, where he is a proud alumni, so please consider him carefully for your position. Randy Ostrander
[ YOUR VOICE ] Online reader reactions to the April 15 editorial: “Candidate for director of student publications poses major conflict of interest” Although I 100% agree with tI urge you not to judge Jim Knight until you have a chance to meet him and talk to him about how he would manage this potential conflict of interest. We all have potential conflicts in our lives, yet it’s how we manage them that makes all the difference. Jim Knight is a journalist of great integrity. He loves CMU and CM
LIFE. He would be an incredible asset to CMU students based on his deep knowledge of the news business and his connections within the industry. I would also note that CM LIFE has never been completely separate from the CMU administration. The CM LIFE adviser has always been a part of the administration, yet each person filling that role has found a way to make it work. If chosen, Jim Knight would do the same. -Rick Fitzgerald, Former CM LIFE editor Current U-M spokesperson
In all fairness to Jim Knight, whom I do not know, the search committee could not have excluded him based on an alleged conflict of interest. There is no provision in equal opportunity and employment law for such an exclusion. The search committee would be in big trouble if it had excluded him on that basis and he would have a serious lawsuit. All that said, he should not have applied to spare himself and his wife, whom I do know, of this controversy. -John K. Hartman

Megabus: Megacheap, but kindabad As an economically challenged college student who experiences occasional bouts of wanderlust, I’m always interested in cheap opportunities to explore the world around me. Recently, I discovered Megabus, a bus company that advertises “low-cost intercity travel with prices starting from as little as $1.” After doing some research, I found I could book a one-day round-trip for two from East Lansing to Chicago for only $16, so I grabbed one of my more adventurous friends, and we set off for the Windy City. Having just returned from our trip, I can’t say I’d recommend Megabus to people who have high standards in travel or low tolerance toward ineptitude in general. The biggest issue we had with Megabus was punctuality. While the bus from East Lansing to Chicago was fairly prompt, the bus for the return trip was scheduled to pick us up in Chicago at 11:59 p.m., and it didn’t end up arriving until 12:20 a.m. Since Megabus is apparently too cost-efficient (i.e. cheap) to build its own waiting facilities, we were forced to wait on the sidewalk outside of Union Station, keeping warm by artfully dodging panhandlers and the mentally unstable. At the other Megabus stops on our route, Amtrak seemed to take pity and shared their waiting areas with Megabus customers. Perhaps we would have been able to look past the waiting situation if our drivers would have been friendly (or, at least competent) people. The first driver was very condescending, carefully explaining how to properly read our eight-digit ticket confirmation numbers so he’d understand them and yelling at passengers who didn’t know what to do with their luggage. Ten minutes into the trip, the same gent took the wrong exit. Instead of continuing to take the incorrect exit and working back to the correct exit in a legal and sane way, the driver immediately slammed on his brakes (thankfully, no one was behind us) and proceeded to drive the bus over a patch of grass and back onto the freeway. He was nice enough to say over the intercom that this was “his bad,” though. Our other driver didn’t seem to have much of a personality, but I imagine driving a bus full of perpetually irritated riders across barren stretches of Indiana and southern Michigan in the nighttime could suck the soul out of anyone. Even after all of this, I don’t completely regret taking Megabus. At $16, it was way cheaper than any other mode of transportation could have been. The buses were fairly clean, and we didn’t have any major problems with the other passengers. If you want to try Megabus for yourself, keep the following in mind: You get what you pay for, and you’re not paying much.

Art project illustrates connection between common chemical, various forms of cancer By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter
Maria Michails has mastered the combination of art and science. The Petri Series’ Benzene Reception was held Saturday at the University Art Gallery, displaying Michails’ pedalpowered mechanism. The New York artist and 2012-13 Barstow Artist in Residence designed a piece of art that reflects the petrochemical benzene. Benzene is the colorless vapor smelled when gas is pumped into a car. The chemical compound is a main contributor of CO2 to the environment. Michails created a structure that demonstrates the effect Benzene has on the world through diseases. “When a dear friend of mine died of cancer last fall, it prompted me to look a little deeper into my initial questioning about petrochemicals,”
Michails said. “Study after study revealed the health and environmental hazards of petroleum products in use in our every day lives.” Michails’ project is a mechanism that uses the concept of an automobile for the installation, symbolizing benzene as the driving force of disease. The pedal-powered vehicle allows users to light up the microscopy cancer cell-filled petri dishes, ultimately presenting the linkage between the benzene molecule and four types of cancer: Leukemia, lung, breast and kidney cancers. This mechanism followed a design similar to a vehicle with headlights and tail lights, although it also took on a bicycle formation, due to the pedals and bike chain. When a user pedals the vehicle with enough force, a connection between the vehicle and the cancer cells is created. This is shown by the petri
dishes being lit and the microscopic cancer cells becoming bright and easily visible. “The small sculptures in this installation are shaped to represent the benzene organic chemical compound, which is classified as hydrocarbon,” Michails said. “As the first in The Petri Series, Benzene has been linked to several types of leukemia, kidney, lung and breast cancers, as well as a long list of other health problems. Matt Morrow enjoyed the artwork not only for its aesthetic appeal, but also its educational quality. “This is fascinating, simply because there aren’t many artists who work with chemicals, benzene in particular,” the Westland alum said. “This artist is both expressing herself artistically and educating the public.” studentlife@cm-life.com
David Acevedo-Polakovich has been named to Online Schools Michigan’s “Top-25 Psychology Professors in Michigan” list. Online Schools Michigan is the partner site of statestats. org, which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advance education through the use of technology and informational tools. Katrina Silberstein, communications and outreach associate for statestats.org, said the primary focus of the organization is to provide a free web resource that offers easily accessible education information to students and the general public. Acevedo-Polakovich is a professor of psychology at Central Michigan University whose research has him working extensively with ethnic and cultural minorities, often with Spanish-speaking groups.

Poetry prize winner John Priest reads his poems “The Album of Worst Moments” and “Trespassing” at The Central Review’s poetry reading Friday night in the Park Library’s Baber room.
“Our teams select top professors from all over the country, and we publish our lists about once or twice a month,” Silberstein said. “We do not provide any additional awards or honors beyond the list; however, we work hard to publicize the list so the general public, future and current students and other faculty can review our top professor nominations easily.” Acevedo-Polakovich said he enjoys seeing his students excited about their work. He takes pride in having students take time to meet with him outside of class to discuss projects and ideas. “My favorite students are those who have a drive to do something useful with their understanding of course content,” he said. “(My best teaching moments are) when students schedule time outside of the classroom to come and talk to me about a project they are working on or idea they had. It is exciting to see them
being curious and motivated about the topics we are addressing in class.” Acevedo-Polakovich said he is inspired by people who are thoughtfully committed to ideals greater than themselves. He is also learning to be more collaborative when he facilitates teaching. “I am trying very hard to make sure all my teaching activities provide students opportunities to succeed, support in doing so and also hold them accountable for those opportunities they chose to pursue. I think this is an approach that places the professor in the role of resource provider and motivator. I am working to be that,” Acevedo-Polakovich said. “I try to start every meeting with students by asking them what they need from me to be successful and end every meeting by asking them if I’ve met their expectations. I hope to keep developing in this direction.” university@cm-life.com
Some of the most talented authors on campus shared their works Friday evening. The Central Review celebrated the release of its spring issue with refreshments and readings in the Baber Room of the Charles V. Park Library, entertaining an audience of about 70. The undergraduate literary magazine publishes poetry, fiction, flash fiction, drama, creative nonfiction and visual art created by undergraduate and graduate students. Perry junior Kylee Tolliver will be the editor-in-chief of the magazine in the fall. “This edition was so good,” Tolliver said. “Every semester ... the talent just keeps growing. You can see people who keep submitting as they improve. It’s so good.” Tolliver said she thinks the reading was a success and is proud of the overall response from those in attendance. “I think the reading went really great tonight,” Tolliver said. “I would even go far as to say it went spectacular. This is a great magazine, and we had a great turnout, a great staff, and it just went so well.” Gabriel Hall won the fiction
“It’s always nice to see (your work) on the page that you didn’t print off from the computer yourself. And (The Central Review) is designed so well. The design is just stunning. It feels good.” John Priest, Elk Rapids senior prize for his work, “The Curious Creature that Cried.” The South Haven senior said he didn’t know he won the prize until someone showed him the order of the readings and saw the prize listed next to his name. Hall said he wrote the story for a class and was blown away when he realized he won. “I kind of thought one day, ‘I feel like a writing a story that has this 1950s monster sci-fi feel to it,’” he said. “And I wrote it for my creative writing class, and they liked it. I thought, ‘Hey, why not just see what happens? Let’s throw it into the Central Review and see what happens.’” John Priest won the poetry prize for his poem “Trespassing.” “It feels awesome (to win), and I can really use the $100,
too, so that’s nice,” the Elk Rapids senior said. In addition, Priest had another prose poem published in the magazine. “It’s always nice to see (your work) on the page that you didn’t print off from the computer yourself,” Priest said. “And (The Central Review) is designed so well. The design is just stunning. It feels good.” Hall said the best advice he would give people when submitting work to the magazine next year is to be authentic and not care what others think. “If you want to write something, just stick with it,” Hall said. “Don’t give up even when you’re feeling down. Just keep going after it, and don’t worry about what other people say.” studentlife@cm-life.com

‘THIS IS NOTHING WE WOULD EVER EXPECT,’ FRIENDS SAY OF BOSTON SUSPECTS By Lesley Clark McClatchy Newspapers/MCt
BOSTON — Friends say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a funny kid, an enthusiastic wrestler and a popular graduate of Cambridge’s prestigious Cambridge Rindge & Latin School. His elder brother, Tamerlan, took a break from classes at a community college to pursue the sport of boxing _ and said he’d represent the U.S. over Russia in the Olympics if his native Chechnya didn’t yet have its independence. Interviews with friends, teachers, coaches and fellow students Friday painted a portrait deeply at odds with events as a massive manhunt closed down Boston in search of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings Monday with his brother, who was captured in a suburban backyard and taken into custody late Friday. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died early Friday after a spectacular overnight crime spree that included the shooting of two police officers and a carjacking.
“This has absolutely floored me,” said Thomas Lee, the president of the South Boston Boxing Club, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev trained in 2009 and 2010. He told McClatchy that the only thing that had set Tsarnaev apart from his fellow boxers was a propensity for offbeat training habits, such as walking around the gym on his hands. But there was evidence that Tamerlan was a corrosive influence on his younger brother. Zaur Tsarnaev, who identified himself as a 26-year-old cousin of the brothers, told the Boston Globe in a phone interview on Friday from Makhachkala, in southern Russia, that he had warned Dzhokhar that Tamerlan “was up to no good.” He said the older brother “was always getting into trouble. He was never happy, never cheering, never smiling. He used to strike his girlfriend. He hurt her a few times. He was not a nice man. I don’t like to speak about him. He caused problems for my family.” Indeed, Dzhokhar’s friends were at a loss. “This is nothing we would
RELAY FOR LIFE | CONTINUED FROM 3A “Our group has been helping at Relay for Life since I was a member,” the Shepherd senior said. “My aunt had breast cancer and is now in remission, so it is a little extra sentimental this year.” Grand Blanc sophomore Mariah Manchester, a Trout Hall resident, worked with other people in her residence hall to create a special stand at Relay for Life. A friend of hers found a charity on Facebook called “Miles for Smiles,” which supports fighters and survivors of cancer. “He takes a before picture
and an after picture of people who shaved their head as a symbol of supporting cancer,” Manchester said. “Our hall got 25 people to participate, both boys and girls.” Manchester said she was happy to be volunteering her time at Relay for Life because showing passion toward a good cause can bring people in the community closer. Spencer McKellar said helping out with a book sale at Relay for Life gave him a positive sense of doing something good. His academic honorary fraternity works with First Book,
COMPETITION | CONTINUED FROM 3A “I became aware of the Students Reinventing Michigan competition while enrolled in Sociology of Education and thought it would be a great way to apply what I was learning. My professor, Dr. Mari Dagaz, advised me on the project and was instrumental in helping me develop the idea to a full-scale proposal,” Dziesinski said in an email. As first-prize winners of the competition, Harris and Wolf won $10,000. As second
place winner, Dziesinski won $5,000. “While researching for my proposal, I delved into the inner workings of Michigan’s educational policy and found it fascinating, so I have become increasingly interested in perusing educational policy,” Dziesinski said. Third, fourth and fifth place prizes were also awarded. The winners are from Michigan Technological University, Michigan State University and Grand Valley
IMMIGRATION | CONTINUED FROM 3A Political science professor Orlando Perez said the proposal is a solid starting point on immigration reform. “Increasing border security and constructing a fence haven’t been efficient so far and will not be in the future,” Perez said. “With that being

an organization that provides children in need with new books. “All the donations are going toward a great cause,” the Sparta senior said. “I hope we can find a cure someday.” Stacey Malinowski is part of the Colleges Against Cancer committee and volunteered at the registration booth for Relay for Life. “I heard about the committee at MAINStage and wanted to get involved,” the Dearborn freshman said. “Everyone has a family member, a friend or even a friend of a friend with cancer, and, at Relay for Life, we can all come together and share a special bond.” studentlife@cm-life.com

CMU to be featured on Victoria’s Secret ‘PINK Your Campus’ clothing By Katelyn Sweet Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University will soon be featured on Victoria’s Secret clothing. The Victoria’s Secret PINK clothing line has more than 50 schools across the nation represented in their campus gear, and, this year, they created the “PINK Your Campus” competition to add more schools to their brand. CMU is one of 10 schools that won the Victoria’s Secret “PINK Your Campus” contest. Lansing sophomore Anastasha Franco said she voted for CMU on the “PINK Your Campus” whenever it appeared on her Facebook timeline. “I want CMU to have a PINK clothing line because I’ve only seen popular or top colleges and professional teams have clothes there,” Franco said. Both the University of Michigan and Michigan State University have pink
clothing lines at Victoria’s Secret. “It makes us exclusive now,” Franco said. “Not to mention, VS is known worldwide, and, when people in another state check out the college clothing line and they see CMU, it really says a lot about our school.” Some of the clothing options that are popular at Victoria’s Secret are yoga pants, sweatshirts and zip up hoodies, running shorts, sports bras and tank tops. “What makes it better is that, as a girl, I get to shop at my favorite store and see not only my school colors but also my school logo and name on their clothes,” Franco said. Midland freshman Kara Harris has worked at Victoria’s Secret for a year and a half and said she thinks sales will skyrocket once the PINK line launches. “A lot of people ask why CMU doesn’t have a line, but we are a smaller school, so we tend to get overlooked,”
GAY MARRIAGE | CONTINUED FROM 3A “People say we are redefining marriage; well, yes, we are,” Nicholson said. “We are redefining marriage to be based on love and fidelity.” Nicholson said, in his opinion, the Bible is not the infallible word of God, only that it is inspired by God. He said if people were to treat the Bible as infallible, they should follow the commandments fully. “If you want to follow that particular commandment, it dictates that if I lie with another man, you have to stone me,” Nicholson said. “Well, bring it on; you’ll have to stone me.” The event, part of Hyde Park Day, was sponsored by the Central Michigan University student organization Communication Association. The day commemorates Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park in London.
In the mid-19th century, Speakers’ Corner began as a venue of protest for the working class against business owners and royalty and evolved into a place of free speech for people. Hyde Park Day emulates this and presents speakers and presentations on controversial subjects. Communication Association President Meagan Mooney said the debate was a perfect representation of the spirit for Hyde Park Day. “People are allowed to have free speech, get up on their soap box and talk issues,” the Waterford alum said. “Marriage equality has been an ongoing issue in our local community. An equality rights bill was just passed last year, and there’s still debate. Hyde Park Day allows others to see issues like this from different viewpoints.”
Harris said. “I think business not only in our Midland store but all over Michigan will be interested in getting CMU stuff from Victoria’s Secret, especially students and alumni.” Senior Katie Pohlman said being featured on Victoria’s Secret products puts CMU on the map. “It really just shows how much support and pride our school has,” the Milford native said. “I definitely think I’ll see the sweatshirts and sweatpants around campus. People love to wear that kind of stuff to class,” Pohlman said. Macomb freshman Janelle McLaughlin is a committee head for the ‘PINK! Your Campus’ campaign who is representing CMU. “I think this is great publicity for CMU, and I am excited to see people representing their attire around campus,” McLaughlin said. studentlife@cm-life.com
“People say we are redefining marriage; well, yes, we are. We are redefining marriage to be based on love and fidelity.” Rev. Wayne Nicholson, St. John’s Episcopal Church Kristina McCoy, a Flint sophomore, said she thought the debate was needed but was a little disappointed with the content. “Both of them danced around questions, and I would have rather they’d talk more about their personal beliefs than their churches’,” McCoy said. “But, it was good. It was a needed discussion.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Baseball salvages a 2-1 win in three-game series at Toledo By Emily Grove Senior Reporter
Toledo soared against the Central Michigan baseball team in this weekend’s three-game series. CMU lost the first two games in the series but pulled out the win in the last game, 2-1. After an 11-0 defeat on Saturday, head coach Steve Jaksa said he was much happier with the team’s performance on Sunday. “In the doubleheader, we played much, much better,” Jaksa said. “(Pitcher Cameron Palmer) was tough on us, but we were able to break through. And Rick (Dodridge) threw great for us. We just didn’t have a lot of opportunities until the ninth, and we were in a position to win that game, but we couldn’t
walk all the way through the door.” Going into the series finale, the Chippewas had struggled all weekend at the plate. But, by the third game, Toledo seemed offensively worn down, and CMU had stepped up its game to avoid a sweep. The offense came alive in the sixth, stringing together three singles to load the bases. Sophomore Pat MacKenzie started the momentum by hitting a single through the left side. Junior Noel Santos followed suit, and sophomore Nick Regnier laid down bunt for a base hit. Senior Jordan Adams knocked MacKenzie in and reached on a fielder’s choice, while Regnier was out at second. A sacrifice bunt from redshirt fresh-
man Neal Jacobs scored a second run as the team went into the seventh with a 2-0 lead. A walk, an error and a hit loaded the bases for the Rockets in the seventh, and freshman pitcher Taylor Lehnert walked another to score before being relieved by sophomore Matt Trowbridge. Lehnert pitched 6.1 innings, giving up four hits, two walks and striking out four. “I was happy with our pitching today,” Jaksa said. “Dodridge had a quality start, so did Lenhert, and then Trowbridge got the save, and we were able to salvage a split in the doubleheader after a not really strong start to the series.”

Lack of consistent hitting still a problem for baseball team By Emily Grove Senior Reporter
A cold offense factored into the series loss the baseball team was handed by Toledo. “I can’t say we’re overly pleased with what we did at the plate this weekend,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “We’d like a little more consistency in our lineup than what we had, and we’ve got to keep working on that.” CMU had just three hits in the 11-0 shut out loss Saturday in the first game of the three-game series. Sophomore Nick Regnier and junior Noel Santos and sophomore Pat MacKenzie were the only three to get a hit in the game.
Regnier leads the team with the highest batting average, though he went 1-for-4 to start the weekend in Toledo. “On Saturday, we never gave ourselves a chance to be in that ballgame,” Jaksa said. “We got down 2-0 … then they pretty much scored every inning. We hadn’t played a game like that in a while. We just never got in a good place offensively and with pitching.” On Sunday, the Chippewas were better in the series’ second game, but just marginally. CMU had five hits in the 4-3 loss, while the Rockets had just one more. That was enough to propel them to the win. A PROBLEM | 2B

Brogan Darwin heating up at the plate for softball By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter
Senior outfielder Brogan Darwin is beginning to turn around what was a tough slump over the last few weeks. Putting together a solid performance in games with Toledo Saturday and Sunday, Darwin helped her team to a series split. “She hit the ball well today and has been hitting better in the last couple of games than she was in the beginning of the season,” head coach Margo Jonker said. Darwin went 3-for-6 over the weekend, hitting .292 over the last ten games. She has a .200
batting average on the season but is beginning to change that with performances such as Sunday’s, when she went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, her first of the year. This came in a tough loss against Toledo, where Darwin’s success at the plate was overshadowed by an overall poor team performance. “It is bittersweet because I got a good hit, but there are things I could have done better,” Darwin said. “Like my last at-bat and a ball in the field I could have A DARWIN | 2B

Softball struggles in extra-innings loss against Toldeo By Malachi Barrett | Staff Reporter
Softball couldn’t hold up to its recent standard of play after a 3-2 loss Sunday against Toledo ended the team’s seven-game winning streak at Margo Jonker Stadium. After playing consistently well over the last few weeks, the Chippewas could not hold on to their hot streak in a disappointing showing against a team they defeated the previous day. “We didn’t show our best stuff today, and it bit us because we did not take charge of the game,” head coach Margo Jonker said. Offensively, the team suffered from poorly placed hits. They had little trouble getting bodies on the
base paths, earning nine hits, but had little to show for it after line drives caused several runners to be picked off in scoring position. “We had some situations where we hit the ball hard right at people, and then we had a lot of people picked off bases, and that shouldn’t be happening,” Jonker said. “We’ve got to be more alert on the bases; we weren’t very good at base running today.” Defensively, the Chippewas did well stopping Toledo from rounding
the bases, despite giving up 11 hits on the day. Jonker cycled through three pitchers as the Rockets were able to pick up on juniors Chelsea Sundberg and Morgan Yunker, who gave up nine combined hits. Senior Kara Dornbos was called in to finish the game but was unable to stop a game-winning home run from Marla Gooding in the eighth inning. The Chippewas took the lead in the bottom of the first. With two outs, junior Cory DeLamielleure and sophomore CarolAnn Sexauer reached on balls, putting DeLamielleure in scoring position on second. Freshman Katelyn Rentschler connected at the next at-bat and sent her home with a single to right center. A SOFTBALL RECAP | 2B

Chippewas return home Tuesday to face Davenport By Brandon Champion Senior Reporter
The baseball team will look to continue its recent success in mid-week games when it hosts the Davenport Panthers at 4:05 Tuesday at Theunissen Stadium. The Chippewas have won their last two mid-week games at home against Oakland on April 10 and Calvin College on April 16. But, they lost two of three games over the weekend, winning the finale of their series with Toledo. “We’ll be ready to play,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “We’re looking forward to it. We aren’t getting down. It’s too early to get down. We just have to go out there and play our game.” That might not be easy against Davenport, which is coming off a four-game sweep over Lourdes College. The Panthers did not allow a run in the two games on Sunday between the teams, winning 4-0 and 2-0. Offensively, the Panthers have seven players who are batting at least .300, led by senior catcher Michael Allen. He is
batting .364 with a team-high 35 RBIs. Junior first baseman Edward Grochowalski Jr. is also a top contributor. He comes into Tuesday’s game batting .325 with 29 RBIs and a teamleading three home runs. The Chippewas have yet to announce who will start the game on the mound, but past mid-week games suggest it will be freshmen Adam Aldred or Jimmy McNamara. Aldred was sharp in his last start against Calvin College, striking out five batters over six scoreless innings. McNamara is 0-2 with a 3.09 ERA this season. His last start was in the Chippewas rain-suspended game at Comerica Park against Michigan State on April 17. That game will be made up on May 14 when the Spartans visit Theunissen Stadium. The game will start with MSU up 1-0 and CMU with runners on first and second and nobody out in the bottom of the fifth. The two teams will play the third game of the season-long series following the makeup game.

Softball looks to regroup against dominant Michigan team Tuesday By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter
Following an extra-innings loss to Toledo, the softball team is looking to get back to its winning ways when it heads to Ann Arbor to play nationally ranked Michigan on Tuesday. The Wolverines won’t go down without putting up a fight. The Wolverines are riding a 19-game winning streak and are 39-7 on the season with an undefeated home record in Ann Arbor. CMU has been playing well as of late, going 8-2 in its last 10 games, but they surrendered a loss to the Rockets Sunday in what was a poor outing for the Chippewas. “At the moment, I’m pretty upset that we gave up that game,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “I thought that was a team we should have beaten. But, we need to come back and be stronger. I can be upset now, but tomorrow is another day, and, tomorrow, we’re going after it again.” Overall, the team was not as efficient on the bases as one has come to expect and several times found itself in unlucky double plays from
balls hit to the wrong spots. There were also missed opportunities in picked-off runners who could not get back in time and a lack of stolen bases, which is something that has been uncharacteristic of Jonker; stolen bases are a large part of the offensive strategy used by Jonker this season. “What we need to do is be more aggressive in going at it,” Jonker said. “We need to go back and play the kind of Chippewa-style softball that we’re used to in the last couple of days.”

This detour stopped a seven-game winning streak in which the team decimated opponents 39-15 in the MidAmerican Conference. The Chippewas are 25-13 on the year with a solid 11-3 conference record. They sit in second place in the MAC West behind 12-1 Ball State. CMU will meet Ball State at home on Friday in a doubleheader at Margo Jonker Stadium in what will be a battle for first in MAC West and the conference overall.
EAST LANSING — Gary Harris is returning to Michigan State for his sophomore season, the school announced Thursday, leaving junior forward Adreian Payne as the last remaining question about next season’s roster. Harris, the Big Ten freshman of the year and top freshman scorer last season (13.7 points per game in Big Ten games), was projected as an NBA lottery pick by ESPN’s Chad Ford from about midseason. He said in a released statement that he looked into his stock. But the 6-foot-4 guard, who had injury issues with both shoulders and his back last season, opted to return _ and he will not need surgery on the left shoulder, which gave him the most problems. “When the season was done, coach (Tom) Izzo
gathered a lot of great information and shared it with me and my family,” Harris said in a statement. “After talking things over with my parents, it is my decision to remain at Michigan State. Playing in the NBA is definitely a goal of mine and something that I’ve always dreamed of, but those dreams can wait for another day. I think additional experience and maturity will be huge in my development as a player. “I have other dreams of things I want to accomplish, both as a player and as a team at Michigan State. I love college life, and I’m no hurry to move on. My teammates and I are already excited thinking about next season. I’ve been doing a lot of rehab on my shoulder, and it feels stronger already. Last year was a good season for my teammates and me, but we can all improve this summer and come back for even greater things next
year.” Payne is still undecided and has until April 28 to declare his intentions about the NBA draft. Assuming Harris and Payne return, several analysts rate MSU as a top three team next season, and ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi projected MSU as a No. 1 seed in a recent look at next season’s bracket. Harris’ 12.9 overall scoring average was third all-time among MSU freshmen, trailing only Magic Johnson (17.0) and Shawn Respert (15.8). His return, along with Keith Appling, Branden Dawson and Denzel Valentine, gives MSU a talented, experienced backcourt in 2013-14. Izzo said in a statement that he “spoke with many different general managers and teams” and praised the Harris family for “the way they handled this process.” “I have no doubt that Gary would have been a

CMU will be missing leadership from quarterback Ryan Radcliff, wide receiver Cody Wilson, offensive tackle Eric Fisher and safety Jahleel Addae, who all left the program in the offseason. It will be the first game with either senior A.J. Westendorp, junior Cody Kater, redshirt sophomore Alex Niznak or redshirt freshman Cooper Rush taking over as quarterback. The game also marks the beginning of a new era for Michigan, as quarterback Devin Gardner will take over for star quarterback Denard Robinson.

Senior pitcher Kara Dornbos nearly perfect over the weekend By Ryan Solecki Staff Reporter
Senior pitcher Kara Dornbos and the Chippewas pitching staff continue to dominate as the season progresses into important Mid-American Conference play. Dornbos started two of the four games this past weekend, both against conference opponents in lessthan-ideal weather. Nevertheless, Dornbos delivered two superb starts. In game one of the Bowling Green doubleheader on Friday, Dornbos added her 13th complete game of the season, allowing only three hits and one earned run. Dornbos went three up and three down in the first four innings with the exception of one walk. The Falcons wouldn’t get

lentless in her start against Toledo. Dornbos blanked the Rockets and only allowed three hits. She did not walk a single batter. Dornbos is now 10-6. She has now made 18 appearances and leads the team in innings pitched and complete games. Her ERA, 1.97, is also lowest on the team among starters. As a senior, Dornbos sets the stage for the junior trio that follows her in the rotation, and they have followed in her footsteps, giving the Chippewas one of the most dominant pitching staffs in the MAC. sports@cm-life.com

Freshman Taylor Lehnert comes up clutch as baseball wins finale at Toledo By Brandon Champion Senior Reporter
Coming into the baseball team’s series against Toledo, head coach Steve Jaksa wasn’t sure who was going to start the final two games of the series. As it turned out, senior Rick Dodridge started for the Chippewas in their 4-3 loss in game one of a doubleheader Sunday afternoon. However, it was freshman Taylor Lehnert, who started for CMU in game two. The 6-foot-4 right-hander from Schererville, Ind., made his fourth start of the season and improved his record to 2-2 and his ERA to 4.62. Lehnert allowed just one earned run and four hits while striking out four batters over six and one-third innings. In the first two games of the series, the Rockets had piled up 17 hits and 15 runs. The performance was crucial in allowing the Chippewas to salvage the
final game of their series at Scott Park. Lehnert made the start in place of senior Pat Kaminska, who has been in and out of the rotation this season due to injury and ineffective pitching. Before Sunday’s start, he had appeared in eight games and had an ERA of 5.33 in 27 innings pitched. Lehnert had another quality outing earlier in the season in the first matchup against rival Michigan State, when he went six innings, allowing just three hits and two earned runs, but ultimately received the loss. He earned his first win against Bethune-Cookman when he went five innings, allowing four hits and just one run. Lehnert has worked primarily in middle relief for the Chippewas this season, but starts like Sunday’s might force Jaksa to leave the freshman in the weekend rotation.

Most of the men’s track team competed this weekend at the Louisville Invitational, and many athletes came back with top five and top 10 finishes. Freshman Cole Walderzak had a strong performance on Friday, as he was able to record strong throws in both hammer and discus. “It was fun,” Walderzak said. “Hammer was pretty good; I threw pretty close to a (personal record). Discus was really good. I threw just over two meters under PR; that was really big.” After weeks of coming up just short of Mid-American Conference championship meet marks, Walderzak was finally able to break through and qualify in the discus. “It means a lot (to qualify),” Walderzak said. “I’ve been working just for that, and to finally get it takes a lot of weight off my shoulders. Now I can focus on going to MACs and competing there.” Walderzak’s best throw
came in at 171-07, just under three feet short of his careerbest 174-00. That earned him second place and a huge improvement from his previous season-best of 163-08. He also took seventh place in the hammer, throwing 17304, just short of his seasonbest 173-11. Junior Calvin Jackson was able to finish just behind Walderzak in the hammer with a throw of 170-11, taking eighth place, right behind his teammate. Walderzak and Jackson set the tone for the rest of the team, as many other athletes were able to record finishes in the top 10. One of those athletes was freshman Matt Mueller. Mueller, one of the athletes who helps make up a talented core of freshmen, competed for the first time this outdoor season and was able to have a strong finish in the high jump. Mueller was able to clear 6-04.00, giving him a second-place finish behind Southeast Missouri State sophomore Reginald Miller,
who recorded a jump of 6-11. CMU had two athletes finish in the top five in the javelin throw. Brandon McCleese, another talented freshman, was able to take second place in the javelin with a throw of 166-09. Tim Reynolds, a multi-event athlete, finished fourth with his throw of 139-03. The jumpers had solid outings Friday in what might be the last meet for some of them before the MAC championship meet on May 9. Leading the jumpers was freshman Craig Mauldin. Mauldin finished in first place in the triple jump with a jump of 46 feet. Junior Michael Johnson, Mauldin and sophomore Dee Smith also had good finishes in the long jump. Smith had the best jump of the trio with at 23-00.50, tying him for second place. Mauldin set a new season-best with a jump of 22-3.75, good for fifth place. Johnson finished sixth at 21-1.50. sports@cm-life.com
Turk, women’s track find success at Louisville Invite, Ohio State By Joe Judd Staff Reporter
Women’s track and field saw action in both Kentucky and in Ohio this weekend and came away with satisfying results. On Friday, the Chippewas competed at Louisville University’s Lenny Lyles-Clark Wood Invite and also sent a few distance runners to compete at The Ohio State University’s Jesse Owens Track Classic. Both of these meets, especially at Louisville, showed the true strengths of Central Michigan’s team. Competing and coming in first in the 4x400 relay with a final time of 3:52.36 were sophomores Ravyn Baxter and Bridget Doughty, as well as juniors Emma Fishnik
and Shawntoreah Turk. Turk said the teamwork that was put on display has had a positive impact, giving the Chippewas the fastest time in the completion. “We just focused on what we needed to focus on,” Turk said. “That is what each of our individual needs were that day.” Finishing with the fastest time and earning a Mid-American Conference tournamentqualifying time, Turk is excited and is looking forward to continue on in future competitions. “It’s a great feeling, but having this top time came out of nowhere, especially after I finished in Kentucky last
weekend,” Turk said. Though she has already qualified for MACs, the junior runner said she still has plenty of goals left to accomplish. “I’ve got to stay focused on the next couple weeks, because MACs are coming up, so we have a lot more competition on its way,” Turk said. Now that she has qualified to compete in the conference championship, Turk does not feel nearly as much pressure as she felt before finishing and failing to qualify in previous meets this season. “This past weekend, I’ve got all the confidence that I needed,” Turk said. sports@cm-life.com

Former CMU standout to join Kent State
Keno Davis adds two impact players to 201314 men’s basketball By Kristopher Lodes Sports editor
By Kristopher Lodes Sports editor
Junior guard Derek Jackson is back in the Mid-American Conference after being dismissed from the Central Michigan men’s basketball program because of academics in 2012. Jackson will join Rob Senderoff ’s team at Kent State and will be eligible to play immediately. Senderoff is in his third season as the head coach of the Golden Flashes after winning 20-plus games in his first two seasons. “We’re excited about Derek and Devin (Carter) coming and joining us,” Senderoff said in a news release. “I think they’ll be welcome additions to our program.” In his 2011-12 sophomore season, Jackson played in all 32 games for the Chippewas that season, starting in 31 of them. He averaged 11.5 points per game that season, along with 2.3 rebounds and 1.81 steals a game. His 1.81 steals ranked third in the MAC and 68th in the nation. He had 58 steals that season, the third-most in a single season in CMU history, and his name is in the single-season record books for 66 made three-pointers in 2011-12, good for ninth all-time. “Derek went to Benedictine High School and played with a number of Division I players,” Senderoff said to KSU athletics. “Derek is sort of proven in this league, as he averaged 11 points per game as a sophomore at Central Michigan. They had a coaching change last year, and things didn’t work out for him.” Jackson had originally planned to stay in Mount Pleasant following then-head coach Ernie Zeigler’s firing and the hiring of Keno Davis as his replacement. But, due to academic reasons, he was dismissed from the team, along with Jevon Harden.

Following his dismissal, Jackson enrolled into Cuyahoga Community College in Parma, Ohio, but his name was not on the Tri-C roster. Jackson, a native of Cleveland, played AAU basektball with Golden Flashes junior forward Mark Henniger and was a Second-Team All-Ohio honoree after his senior season at Benedictine. According to Senderoff, Jackson made contact with the program through senior guard Randal Holt, and he
has been to the Kent State campus numerous times throughout the year. Senderoff is hoping Jackson can help replace Holt, who just finished his last season with the Golden Flashes. “We need to replace some of our perimeter scoring punch, production and versatility,” Senderoff said in a news release. “We knew we had our core of post players coming back, but, at the same time, we knew we
Volleyball adds transfer setter Danielle Thompson from Illinois Central College By Kristopher Lodes Sports editor
The Central Michigan University volleyball team added some experience to its 2013-14 roster with the addition of junior setter Danielle Thompson from Illinois Central College. Thompson racked up 1,221 assists, good for 10th in the nation, and led her team to a No. 16 national ranking this year. She also recorded 118 kills, 277 digs and 77 blocks. She also had 889 assists her freshman season, giving her 2,100 assists in two seasons. “We are very excited about the addition of Danielle to our program,” head coach Erik Olson said in a news release. “Danielle comes from a very strong program at Illinois Central College and will bring a strong skill set as a setter that will add depth behind all-MAC selection Kelly
Maxwell. She has the ability to run our offense efficiently and a strong ability to attack at the net.” That ability to attack the net is similar to that of sophomore setter Jordan Timmer, who has transferred to George Washington University. In her one season with the Chippewas, Timmer appeared in 29 sets and recorded 129 assists, or 4.45 a set. She also had 28 digs, 10 kills, three aces and three block assists. Timmer filled in for an injured Kelly Maxwell against IPFW this past season and was strong in the team’s 3-1 loss. Timmer recorded 48 assists, eight digs, three kills and a block assist. Maxwell returns to the team for her senior campaign after a stellar 2012 season. She was an All-MAC selection after recording 1,221 as-
sists, the best in the MAC and 11th best in the nation. Thompson joins the incoming freshman class, which includes outside hitter Melissa Fuchs from Provo, Utah, outside hitter Jessica Meichtry from Brooksfield, Wis., defensive specialist Andrea Gothard from Bloomfield Hills and outside/right side hitter Taylor Robertson from Midland. “Coach Sue Sinclair runs a great program at Illinois Central and has prepared Danielle to play at the next level,” Olson said. CMU finished third in the MAC West with a 9-7 conference record and 16-14 overall record following a season in which the team won the MAC tournament and made the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. sports@cm-life.com

needed to bring some guys in that we felt could help us on the perimeter, especially in scoring and being able to do multiple things on the floor. We believe the guys we are bringing in should help us replace Chris (Evans) and Randal (Holt), although that’s tough to do.” KSU beat the Chippewas last season in the only meeting between the two schools at their home court, 87-72. sports@cm-life.com
Men’s head basketball coach Keno Davis is back on the recruiting trail, and he has added two players who could make an instant impact. Guard Rayshawn Simmons and center Milos Cabarkapa, Davis’ two signees, will both be able to play right away and have experience playing above the highschool level. Simmons enters CMU as a sophomore after playing a season at Moberly Area Community College in Missouri, while Cabarkapa will enter as a freshman with a year of play at the Impact Academy in Florida. “We are excited to be able to add to an already strong recruiting class with two highly touted studentathletes,” Davis said in a news release. “Rayshawn is a proven player who can have an immediate impact on our program. His ability to play multiple positions will improve our team on both ends of the court. And Milos is a welcome addition to our roster, adding size to our front court. His defensive and rebounding presence will bring a dimension we needed and were looking for.” Simmons, 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds, led Moberly to a 22-8 record with a 4-to-1 assist-turnover ratio, a 41-percent shooting percentage from the floor and a 34-percent three-point shooting percentage. At Webster High School in St. Louis, he led his team to a four-year record of 96-18 and an unbeaten 28-0 in conference play. He amassed 1,000 points and 400 assists during his high school career with single-season records in assists (216) and free-throw percentage (.853). He was named to the 2012 Mis-

“We are excited to be able to add to an already strong recruiting class with two highly touted student-athletes.” Keno Davis, head coach souri Sports Writers and Sportscasters Association all-state team. Cabarkapa is a 6-foot-11 center originally from Belgrade, Serbia. He averaged 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks a game at the Impact Academy. Simmons will add depth to CMU’s point guard position that sophomore Chris Fowler took over as he flourished at the end of the season, while Cabarkapa will add much-needed size to CMU’s roster. Simmons and Cabarkapa join 6-foot-7 small forward Nick Carlos from Ashland, Mo., 6-foot-4 shooting guard Josh Kozinski from Edwardsburg, Mich., and 5-foot-11 point guard Braylon Rayson from Mesquite, Texas.

SALVAGE | CONTINUED FROM 1B In the 4-3 loss in the first game of the doubleheader, Toledo grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third. However, the Rockets extended their lead in the sixth, tacking on two more runs after back-to-back errors by Adams at third base allowed the two runners who would eventually score to get on base. Toledo led 4-0, but CMU tried its best to get a rally in the ninth. Logan Regnier struck out but reached on a wild pitch and stole second on another wild pitch. Adams was walked, and redshirt freshman Ryan Heeke came in to pinch run for him. The Chippewas continued to capitalize on the mistakes. Jacobs reached on an error and safely made it to second, putting Heeke on third and File PhOTO BY ViCTOriA ZeGler
Senior infielder Jordan Adams dashes to second base after a base hit April 17, during the Clash at Comerica Park against Michigan State University. The game was suspended in the fifth inning with CMU down 1-0 due to weather conditions and will resume on May 14 at Theunissen Stadium.
PROBLEM | CONTINUED FROM 1B Regnier again had a hit, along with senior Jordan Adams and sophomore Tyler Huntey, and, as the designated hitter, sophomore Cody Leichman stepped up with two hits in the game. But, the five total hits in 29 at-bats fell short for CMU. The final game was the best showing in terms of number of hits for the Chippewas, yet they still only managed to score two runs from eight hits. Regnier, MacKenzie and Santos continued to contribute as Regnier led the team with two hits, and Santos and MacKenzie had one apiece. Fresh faces were added to the mix with freshman
scoring Regnier. CMU added another run in its mounting comeback when a fly-out from Santos brought in Heeke. A single up the middle scored Jacobs with the Chippewas closing in, trailing by just one with one out. But the rally came to a screeching halt as freshman Zack Fields grounded into a double play to end the game. CMU started the series with a crushing 11-0 defeat on Saturday. Sophomore pitcher Jordan Foley came into the game with a 6-1 record and had given up just seven earned runs all season. In Saturday’s game, Foley gave up six earned runs over four innings and dropped to 6-2. Toledo’s Kyle Shaw struck out nine batters in the outing, pitching a complete game to help the Rockets shut out CMU. sports@cm-life.com
Dylan Goodwin and sophomore Joe Houlihan also recording a hit in the third game of the series. Noticeably absent from the offense was redshirt freshman Neal Jacobs. Jacobs had climbed into the No. 3 spot for his batting average and leads the Chippewas with five home runs—the most recent being a grand slam in a 10-0 win against Calvin College. But, Jacobs went 0-for-10 this weekend. While Jaksa continues to push for offensive consistency, he said the team also needs to step up in other areas. “Defensively, we’ve got to play,” Jaksa said. “You can’t always control if you get hits, and it will help if defensively we play like we are able to.” sports@cm-life.com

LOTS OF LEAGUES TO CHOOSE FROM:
DARWIN | CONTINUED FROM 1B maybe dove for. There are things we could have done, but we beat ourselves.” Darwin stayed positive after the loss, encouraging her teammates to refocus after mistakes cost them a close game. “We need to come back, because we have Michigan on Tuesday, and that’s a big game, too,” Darwin said. “It’s all about who is going to show up. So, this game humbled us a bit, and, hopefully, it will light a fire under our butts, and we can
come back stronger.” She hasn’t been very prolific this season, with only five RBIs and five runs in her 24 appearances, but Darwin takes on an important support role as a senior. Despite her early troubles, Darwin has been breaking out in the last 10 games, earning seven of her 10 hits in April. She will take the field on Tuesday in Ann Arbor against Michigan in the only remaining non-conference game of the season. sports@cm-life.com
SOFTBALL | CONTINUED FROM 1B Senior Brogan Darwin put the Chippewas ahead 2-0 in the second inning with a solo home run to left field. Darwin has been tougher at the plate in the last few games; this weekend she had a .500 batting average in six at-bats. “She hit the ball well today and has been hitting better in the last couple of games than she was in the beginning of the season,” Jonker said. “So, that’s good for her, but we
needed more positives from the whole team to get a win.” The Rockets responded in the next inning by scoring two runs with a double and long sacrifice fly ball hit for an RBI in the top of the third. CMU would not score for the rest of the game, pushing the game into extra-innings where Gooding’s home run sealed the loss. The Chippewas will need to shake off this loss quickly and look toward a tough non-conference game against Michigan on Tuesday in Ann Arbor.
