Destructive Silence S

uicide is the third-leading cause

of death among young adults 18-

24 years old. One in five undergraduate students seriously consider committing suicide. Central Michigan University has lost current and former students to suicide this semester, calling attention to a serious problem. While the university provides resources to get help, a collaborative effort is needed to fight the mental disorder.

Faculty, RAs answer call to help students with depression By Sean Bradley Staff Reporter

Arin Bisaro | Staff Photographer College students often find themselves feeling devastated, alone, hopeless and without options. It is common for students with depression to feel that suicide is the only way out.

Recognizing cries for help from students with symptoms of depression in the residence halls isn’t part of Josh Finch’s stated job description, but it’s a priority. A former Trout Hall resident assistant, Finch has in the last few years helped to identify and offer therapy avenues for students dealing with mental health, depression and self-worth issues. He’s not alone. Many other RAs around campus are making a concerted effort to get students help before they are consumed by depression or take their own lives in an act of desperation. “We might see something with cutting behaviors or suicide issues,” Finch said. “It might be something as simple as stress or a roommate situation.” As a hall counsel adviser in Troutman and Carey halls, the Midland senior has been a sounding board for students in need. Take for example, a freshman who came to Finch seeking help after an orientation seminar in the fall of 2011. “There were people in her past she had lost, and she felt responsible for it, and had a few self-esteem and self-worth issues,” Finch said, “On the outside, you’d never know something was wrong. Not many people knew this was a problem she was going through.”

After several conversations with the student, Finch suggested she make a Counseling Center appointment. He walked her over to make her feel more at ease with her decision to get help. “By no means was it a quick fix,” he said, “but it’s something throughout the year, through our conversations, I could see it getting better.” The Counseling Center, located in Foust Hall, has logged an increase of 35 students seeking “urgent or same day” counseling sessions from fall 2011 to fall 2013, according to data provided by Counseling Center Director Ross Rapaport. In Fall 2011, 134 students received urgent or same day counseling sessions. Two years later, that number jumped to 169 students in the fall of 2013. However, the number of total people counseled fluctuated during this period. In 2011, 548 students received counseling services. That number declined to 514 in 2012, before rising again in 2013, with 540 students counseled. All together, more than 1,000 students received counseling last year, with 293 students receiving urgent, same-day services. There are no totals tallied for the 2013-14 academic year, as the spring semester is still in session. Rapaport said urgent, same-day appointments are increasing even w counseling | 2A

Removing the armor: Zimmerman suicide shows struggle to ask for help By Malachi Barrett Sports Editor

It’s incredible the difference one question can make. Justin Zimmerman was unable to ask for help, and ultimately it cost him his life. “We had a safety net, that’s what really hurts in this situation,” said his father, Calvin Zimmerman. “For whatever reason, he didn’t have it in him to verbalize whatever was going on inside him. He didn’t have that ability to ask us.” Justin was raised in a strict, but tightly-knit Christian family, the second oldest child with three brothers and a sister. He had the ideal midwest upbringing, growing up in Hudsonville with 12 acres of woods, ample space to play paintball and enjoy the outdoors with his friends and family. It was in those woods that the former Central Michigan University student took his life. Statistics from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention state that 75 percent of all suicides give

some warning of their intentions. The blow is heavier for family and friends of the other 25 percent who kill themselves with no signs of being at risk for suicidal behavior. Justin was a well-known figure in Hudsonville, and had a close relationship with his family, who could be described as supportive and tirelessly concerned for one another. Despite a strong network of friends and loved ones, Justin never told anyone the pain he was dealing with. He was described by many at his funeral as having an electric personality, always the first to crack a joke and owner of an infectious laugh. In many ways, he was a personification of the idea that “it could happen to anybody.” He fit a familiar mold with thousands of other students, a dedicated young adult from rural Michigan, who shouldered the responsibility of meeting his own expectations and those of his family and friends. “It’s so easy to hide behind our cars, phones and our money, but we are all broken – every one of us,” said his older brother, Joshua, at the

funeral. “Swallow your pride, tell someone how you truly care about them, tell someone you love them. It would do our family proud if we could see a community change and see people love each other.”

The long fall

Graduating high school with a 4.02 GPA and nine college credits, he was on the path for a prosperous future. In 2009, he chose to attend Central Michigan University to stay close to home and begin his career as a walkon for the wrestling team. Justin came from a wrestling family; his father raised four highly-successful athletes. Justin was a two-time state placer and set multiple season and career records at Hudsonville High School. He met Tyler Keselring, now a junior on the CMU wrestling team, on the mat in the state championships and beat him in the regular season. “I always remember him working hard,” Keselring said. “I remember him on my recruiting trip, everyone w zimmerman | 5A

Health Services offers sun lamp therapy to reduce depression symptoms By Mark Johnson Senior Reporter

Long, cold and gloomy Michigan winters are known to cause depression symptoms in students, and this year’s blasts of sub-zero temperatures have left many feeling down. To help the Central Michigan University community maintain a positive mental outlook, University Health Services offers Day Light Therapy treatments to combat the negative side effects of seasonal affective disorder.

The treatment offers a 30-minute exposure to a room of sun lamps, called a high-intensity light box, which is located in the campus health facility. The treatment is available to students, faculty and staff for $2 per 30-minute session. The treatment does not require a doctor’s order or prescription, although doctors or counselors might refer their patients to the therapy. “It really has a positive effect on the chemicals in the brain and helps patients feel better,” said Lori

Wangberg, the health educator for University Health Services. “It can help to increase energy, make them feel better about themselves and maybe not so hopeless.” CMU’s light box was purchased in late 2009 for less than $300, Wangberg said. To administer the treatment, patients sit in front of the light box during the half-hour session where the compact fluorescent bulb within the light box releases bright light in three different adjustable beams with varying

degrees of heat. The light box produces 10,000 lux, a standard unit of light flow, which is approximately equal to the amount of lux produced by the sun on a clear day, according to design and treatment specifications offered by University Health Services. The treatment is meant to mimic sunnier conditions to give students the benefits of being outside when the weather is warm and inviting. Treatments take place in a small room with the light box perched

on a table. Once inside, a patient can sit in a chair directly in front of the box. Patients can relax, listen to music, eat or even do homework during their treatment. Wangberg said the benefits of a single session don’t kick in until later in the day, which is why it is recommended students receive it in the morning. Wangberg also recommended patients receive the treatment daily. “Some say they felt better about w sun lamp | 2A

Financially, it’s difficult. Higher education is not easy for most of us. So a lot of things are coming together.” If a faculty member is concerned with a student’s well-being, Rapaport said they have been advised to talk with the student about their concerns and let them know of available resources,

but only if they feel comfortable doing so. Instructors have identified a number of student issues before they evolved into deeper, darker symptoms, including Brenda Skeel, an interior design instructor. Skeel teaches courses with typically smaller class sizes. Because of this, she has had an opportunity to build a sense of trust with her students, allowing her to spot potential issues as they arise. “In my experience, if someone is struggling, they are more comfortable coming to us as instructors because they have the same group of instructors the entire way through,” Skeel said. “And so I have had students come and talk with me about issues and things going on. I think they may be more comfortable approaching us within this program than they may be in other programs because they’re not anonymous.”

The most common negative side effect is the development of migraine headaches. “I know at least two people have come to me who have complained of experiencing a migraine (after the treatment),” said Tiffany Stiff, senior administrative assistant for University Health Services. “It’s not always right away, but a couple of hours later.” However, Wangberg said 70 to 80 percent of patients reported feeling better after receiving a single treatment.

Students have been more willing to open up and talk about their problems this year than previously said Skeel, who has taught at the university since 2007. “I think I’ve known them since they’ve started the program, where some of the students in the past I had only known for a couple of classes,” she said. “Now I’ve known them for many classes and throughout their time in the program. We’ve worked on different projects together outside of class, so I think there’s probably a different comfort level both ways for people to be able to come and talk.” According to the uptick in counseling numbers, the methods are working. And while instructors or RAs don’t get paid for the added help they provide, Finch said the intangible rewards make it all worth it. “They’ll tell you ‘You’re the reason I’m still at CMU,’ or ‘You’re the reason I’m applying to be an RA,’” he said. “That’s something a lot of us do it for.” university@cm-life.com

Senior officer evaluations set to begin soon

ACADEMIC GAMES

By Katherine Ranzenberger Senior Reporter

Evaluations of 40 senior officers at Central Michigan University are set to start in the next 60 days. The evaluations are a part of the shared governance agreement signed in the spring of 2013 by administrators and Academic Senate leaders. “We’ve been working through the department of human resources here at CMU,” said University President George Ross during the A-Senate meeting Tuesday. “I’ve engaged some consultants to help with the governance for 360 (degree) assessments of senior officers here on campus. They are working through the process of it.” Ross said he hopes to have the evaluations for the senior officers, Christi Brookes including vice presidents and associate vice presidents, completed by spring 2015. “I met with them in the last three weeks and (I am) seeing their ... penultimate report within the next week or so,” he said. “I first went into HR with the consultants about it. I was concerned about the timing of it all and how we would stagger these reviews within that period of time.” Members of the Shared Governance and Communications Committee said they were happy the evaluations are starting to move forward. “I think (senior officer evaluations are) the big one many people on campus were happy to see this year,” said Christi Brookes, the SGCC chairwoman and chairwoman of the foreign languages, literatures & cultures department. “Senior officer evaluations are the beginning of something. We need to come up with something that’s manageable, but not over-cumbersome.” Fixed-term, tenure-track and non-tenure Michael Gealt track faculty members are all evaluated in the 360 degree format, being evaluated by students, the department chairpersons and deans. Brookes said keeping the lines of communication open is important for the evaluations to keep shared governance standards. “We need to communicate about this more,” she said. “There would be some bottom up input for these. We need to make sure it happens quickly.” The SGCC also discussed adding fixed-term faculty to ASenate. Brookes said the committee has revisited the discussion, but has not come to any conclusions about what the next steps should be. “It’s not a faculty senate; we’re missing fixed-term faculty,” she said. “On that same level, not everyone attends Academic Senate meetings. There are others outside of campus that aren’t represented as well.” Brookes said the SGCC will continue to look at how to include fixed-term faculty members in A-Senate, adding their voice to shared governance. When shared governance was being discussed in a previous ASenate meeting on Feb. 22, 2013, the A-Senate brought speakers to CMU to discuss shared governance at an administrative level. Terrence MacTaggart, a senior fellow at the Association of Governing Boards, suggested the construction of a physical space for all members of the campus community to meet and converse. Brookes believes the space could help communication between both sides. Members of the SGCC have suggested creating such a place. “You need a place for socialization,” Brookes said. “These are things that are cited. There used to be a place we could do this.” Brookes said the main goal for the SGCC is to come up with suggestions for the administrators and faculty to work together. “Basically, we’re trying to come up with the best practices for making decisions,” she said. “We don’t make decisions for the community. We make suggestions.” university@cm-life.com

Concealed carry protest denied at EHS Building By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

The academic games this year was based on The Newlywed Game, in which each team has to answer questions with the same answers as their teammate.

The final two teams answer questions about each others’ fraternity and sorority’s history Tuesday in Plachta Auditorium. Pi Kappa Phi and Delta Zeta take the lead by one point and ended up winning this year’s academic games.

A registered student organization, practicing its first amendment right to free speech, has been experiencing resistance from university officials for the content of its message. The Students for Concealed Carry has been conducting a weeklong protest to raise awareness about Central Michigan University’s policy on concealed weapons. The policy restricts students from carrying a concealed firearm at the risk of expulsion. “We want the student body to be informed and involved in this issue,” said Derren Dettloff, Lake Orion junior and SCC member. “If you don’t have people talking about it, if it isn’t visible, then nothing is going to get done.” The RSO began advertising for their protest last week with posters and electronic flyers in university buildings. The campaign ran into difficulties with the Education and Human Services Building, where their posters were taken down and their electronic flyer was denied. EHS officials decided not to display the electronic flyer on the building’s television sets. The flyer lists universities where mass shootings have occurred and emphasizes that all of the locations were “gunfree zones.” The group believes the action of taking the posters down was motivated by personal opinion, said SCC Vice President Anthony Cilluffo. In an email to Cilluffo, Director of Technology Operations Michael Reuter said the electronic flyer didn’t run because of the way the poster conveyed its information. He said the tone and phrasing of the poster lacked “a degree of professionalism” and maturity needed when discussing such a controversial topic. “These are really important conversations,” Reuter said. “By presenting your cause in the wrong way, you risk side-tracking the discourse from the real issue.” The protest, which ends Friday, is a nationwide event put on by the SCC organization. Participants wear empty holster on their belts throughout the day to show their support for the right of students to carry concealed firearms. The posters in the EHS Building were taken down by faculty because they were posted without following proper procedure. Reuter said they also received multiple complaints about the wording on the flyers. university@cm-life.com

‘It’s important that students learn the truth’ Native American speaker emphasizes knowledge of U.S. boarding schools By Stephen Cross Staff Reporter

Violet Cross was taken from her family in the early 1920s and was regularly subjected to physical and emotional abuse at the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School. On Tuesday, her daughter, Suzanne Cross, delivered a lecture discussing the historical context of the boarding school experience to a full auditorium at the Charles V. Park Library. “One of the most important lessons I learned from my mother’s experience was perseverance,” Suzanne said. “Even though others will think you’re wrong or that you won’t make it, keep moving and keep fighting.” Suzanne, a member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan and an associate professor emeritus for the School of Social Work at Michigan State University, educated her audience on the physical, verbal and sexual abuse that students went through at the boarding schools in the United States. During this time period, many Native American children were removed from their homes, sometimes in handcuffs, and placed in Native American boarding schools. Students were required to cut their hair, and received severe punishments, specifically for speaking their native language. Sarah Surface-Evans, a member of the Michigan Industrial Indian Boarding School (MIIBS) Council, expressed how crucial it is to have more Native American centered events. “Events like these are instrumental to correcting the ways of the higher

Morgan Taylor | Assistant Photo Editor Chippewa Tribe member Suzanne Cross speaks to students, faculty and community members about Native American boarding schools and the importance of education in Charles V. Park Library Auditorium on Tuesday.

“Events like these are instrumental to correcting the ways of the higher education in public schools across the United States.” Sarah Surface-Evans, member of the Michigan Industrial Indian Boarding School Council education in public schools across the United States,” Surface-Evans said. “It’s important that students learn the truth about what happened in the boarding schools. Suzanne stressed students should be more educated on the subject because of the effects the past has on Native American families today. She suggested students attend more lectures and demand textbooks that focus more on the Native American population. Roscommon sophomore Katie Artz believes students should be more

educated and involved with Native American history. “It is important for students to learn about the real history of Native Americans and the tribes,” Artz said. “This is an important subject for all people in the world, but it is especially important for us Chippewa students to know what actually happened.” At the end of her presentation, Suzanne shared some of the horrific moments her mother went through in the boarding schools and explained how these past events have such an enormous impact on Native Ameri-

can individuals, families and tribal nations. “It’s important for students to learn that if a policy is enacted, somebody must be there to look over it and stop it immediately,” she said. “This went on for four generations, when it should have been stopped at the beginning.” Suzanne dedicated her lecture to the many Native Americans who suffered as children at the Native American boarding schools. metro@cm-life.com

HELPING HANDS SAVE LIVES.

GU EST COLU M N

Seeking help is not a weakness

After high school, maintaining relationships becomes more strained, achieving higher grades becomes more challenging, and new responsibilities increase exponentially. For many, the four years leading up to graduation can represent a stressful period in our lives. Often, the expectation to succeed can cloud our minds of optimism — leaving students feeling like they are alone to face the burdens of the world. You are not alone. Central Michigan University offers a variety of resources to help students with mental health issues. Between the counseling center, student success centers for each quadrant of campus and university health services — the range of professional assistance is abundant. However, our most important assets as students are our classmates. According to the National Institutes of Health, 26.2 percent of adults have a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. That means that one in four — or around 4,900 on-campus students — are experiencing trouble when it comes to mental health. Of those with diagnosable conditions, only about half of those afflicted seek treatment. If CMU is representative of national trends, about 2,350 CMU students are going untreated for what, potentially, could be a serious mental condition. Their only support system: Friends, coworkers, relatives and acquaintances.

IF YOU KNOW THE SIGNS, YOU CAN HELP These students need your help. For every 100,000 adult deaths in the United States in 2010, almost 18 were by suicide. At CMU, there have been three instances this year where a student — present or former — has committed suicide. That’s three lives cut far too short, young minds that are no longer able to make their impact on the world and three families that are crippled by the loss of a loved one. These suicides do not only represent the death of a student, but the death of a member of our community. It represents the loss of a key element of our future and of a voice that can no longer be heard. We can make a difference. We can all do our part to recognize early signs of mental health issues in those we care about. With our focused support, students who need help can seek the treatment they need. Regardless of whether it’s post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety,

obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders or schizophrenia — we can all strive to achieve a greater understanding of the issues and offer compassion to those who need it. We urge all students to educate themselves. Become aware of common mental health conditions and their symptoms. Be prepared to recognize and address your concerns. Read about the options for treatment and steps that can be taken to get our peers the help they deserve. Remind students in need that help is available to those who seek it. Ask questions, give advice, show that you care — but above all else, listen. Sometimes the simple reassurance that you care can be all someone needs to hear. Whether that reassurance comes in the form of help with every-day tasks or simply extending an invite to include them in your plans — it could ultimately save a life.

A message to those struggling This is a message to students to continue fighting every day. This is for that person who has an exam tomorrow, but cannot seem to garner the energy to study because their depression dulls their mind. This is to the freshmen in the residence halls whose roommates fear what they do not understand. This is for the person who hides their depression and anxiety. You are loved. Though you feel alone and your thoughts of desolation keep you up late into the morning, you are

a beautiful creature of worth. Depression and anxiety do not define you. You are more than how this illness makes you suffer. You are a human being who was born to thrive in your passions. When you feel your heart pierced by pain and your body trembles in tearful submission to your illness — you are strong. If society drags you to a point of cutting, or dieting, or drinking, or any other form of self-harm: You are not alone. You are loved. Making it through the battle makes you a survivor, a warrior.

Throughout my three years at Central Michigan University, I have been surrounded by warriors who will not end the battle until the bell of justice has been rung. I have encountered others who have survived some of the most desolate situations. Although alone you might feel entwined in memories and remorse, you are strong. The sun will rise again. If you feel you are walking this road alone, just remember that you are part of a universal dance with a choreographed role. If you cannot find out what that dance is, make

your own movements. As Walt Whitman so brilliantly penned, “You are here — that life exists and identity. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” I do not know the battle you are fighting, but I know that you can win. We live in a society that criticizes us for every step we take — taking too much room or too little; being too loud or too quiet. We carry burdens that could be driving us into the ground, but we will continue to stand and fight for one another. I believe in you, and you are loved. Please love and believe in yourself in return, because you are more valuable than you could ever imagine.

Low wages are hurting AFSCME workers TO THE EDITOR: In July, the union contract that represents the Service Maintenance group of CMU will expire. In the interim, contract negotiations will begin between CMU and AFSCME, the union that represents the 187 workers made up of custodial, grounds, warehouse workers and skilled trades. I write this letter to the CMU

community with the understanding that economic and fiscal concerns of the university are at the forefront whenever contracts are bargained. I want to bring attention to one group of our unit that has sacrificed more than their share in concessions over the past seven years. Six years ago, our unit agreed to a two-tier wage scale for custodial services. Employees in that work

group hired since July 2008 have worked for $9.50 an hour. During these six years, both custodial wage tiers have remained frozen and 2 and 3 percent increases have been paid in lump sums. Privatization of custodial services at CMU has been the wedge to extract these concessions. It is my hope that during this round of negotiations, CMU will recognize that $9.50 per hour is

By Ross Rapaport Director, Central Michigan University Counseling Center College is an exciting, challenging and often stressful time for students. It is common for some students to have difficulty adjusting to college and, at times, feel sad, anxious, stressed, or have relationship concerns. Many students experience career indecision or poor academic performance. Students may at times feel inadequate, frustrated, and angry, experience loss and go through times of grief. Some students experience serious mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, or schizophrenia. As graduation approaches, students may become anxious – and excited – about the next phase of life. Some students experience ongoing negative consequences due to their use of alcohol or other drugs. We all experience negative emotions and difficulties at times during our lives. We all need help on occasion. When one’s experience of negative emotions, mental health concerns, or consequences of their behavior interfere with day-to-day living, academic or work performance, health or relationships – it is time to make some changes. Sometimes one can make changes on their own. Sometimes we need help. No matter what, it takes considerable strength and courage to face one’s problems and get help if needed. The importance of seeking help is a focus of the Jed Foundation. Check out Jedfoundation.org/students for some excellent information related to reducing the stigma of seeking help. Seeking help is not a weakness. It takes strength and courage to face and deal with one’s problems. At CMU there are many sources of assistance for counseling and academic support.

ZIMMeRMan | COnTInUed FROM 1a had great things to say about him, everyone thought he was a great guy and a hard worker. He had goals and he worked hard at trying to accomplish them.” Keselring said many of the seniors on the team had fond memories of Justin and thought his final actions were uncharacteristic of the friend they knew. Like many others, Justin was attracted to the social atmosphere at CMU. His charisma naturally made him the life of the party. His father said he began consuming alcohol frequently. As time went on, Justin was unable to balance drinking with Division-I wrestling and class work, and dropped out of school. He did not compete for CMU. “A lot of lives don’t reach the potential that they have to reach when they start to go into that next phase of life and they want to experience partying and less regulation on themselves,” Calvin said. “I think it started out as fun and the next thing you know he’s more gripped by it and he feels like he wasn’t achieving what he expected of himself.” Attending a university can be stressful. For the first time in many students’ lives, they are thrust into a life without the family support system they have grown accustomed to. Ross Rapaport, director of the CMU Counseling Center, said feelings of hopelessness, relationship struggles, a lack of social support and a sense of isolation are all risk factors for suicide that can be felt during college life. The abrupt new lifestyle and heavy workloads invite the temptation to use and abuse alcohol and other drugs. Justin returned home to Hudsonville to work and pay off his debts, while trying to enroll in North Central College, a small school in Naperville, Ill. In the fall of 2011, he was accepted and on track to get his degree, even joining the wrestling program. However, in November,

Justin called home after waking up in the hospital with no memory of how he arrived. He told his father that his drinking habits were out of control and again dropped out of college with the understanding that he would stay sober and start working at home.

Calvin speculated that his son’s feelings of uncertainty, failure, fear and loneliness stemmed from perceived failures up to this point in his life. Justin may have felt he had let everyone down, and became increasingly unsatisfied with the pace his life was going. Calvin described him as reserved, but a deep and reflective thinker. The pain of a role model falling below his own standards stayed bottled up inside, and his closest friends and family were always kept unaware of his inner struggle. “What I think we do such a great job in (wrestling) is of building men to be so strong that they can’t break,” Calvin said. “We don’t do a good job of recognizing or teaching the fact that physical pain is different than mental pain. The missing thing I can think of that wouldn’t allow him to reach out is he had built an armor around himself. He had compassion; he could reach out to others’ problems, but I don’t know if he saw it as a sign of weakness to reach out for himself.” Rapaport said students often rely on their network of friends to provide emotional support while away from home. Bringing up these feelings is diﬃcult for some, be it because of pride, embar-

rassment, social stigma or innumerable other reasons. “Even though the stigma about seeking help has lessened over the years, I think it’s more supportive for people to seek help now,” Rapaport said. “We live in a culture that suggests, at times, we should be able to handle our problems on our own and that it would be a sign of weakness if I reached out and acknowledged I had a problem and need to get help.” According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, suicides are the third-leading cause of death in young adults aged 18-24. In addition, 18 percent of undergraduate students have seriously considered suicide in their lifetimes and between 40 and 50 percent of these students report multiple instances of life-taking thoughts. Facing and dealing with problems takes strength and courage Rapaport said. If you are concerned about a friend, he said it is best to ask them directly if they are having thoughts of suicide. Calvin stressed that people at risk cannot expect family and friends to put together a puzzle of their feelings. “There were things that you could see Justin was struggling with,” Calvin said, “but truly not even at the depth that we see many kids in, where they’re just trying to find themselves and where they fit. “We needed, his friends needed, his family needed, more of a direct conversation that he’s hurting.” sports@cm-life.com

Baseball tops MSU for first time since 2011 By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Two days after its Mid-American Conference eight-game winning streak was snapped, the Central Michigan baseball team broke another eight-game streak. CMU traveled to East Lansing on Tuesday and beat Michigan State, 10-1. It was the first win against the in-state rival since 2011. “Offensively, we just were able to put enough pressure on them,” said head coach Steve Jaksa. “(MSU) helped us a little bit today. I think they probably felt defensively they didn’t play as well as they could have, but, nonetheless, when you only give up one run, you’re going to probably win that game.” The Spartans committed six errors in the loss. Of the seven CMU runs, only three were earned. A pair of MSU errors in the seventh inning, along with a catcher’s interference call, helped CMU score three runs in that inning. Two more errors in the fifth inning allowed two more runs to cross for the Chippewas as sophomore designated hitter Zack Fields hit a double, allowing redshirt freshman Alex Borglin to advance to third and score on a Spartans throwing error. Fields followed when an error allowed sophomore shortstop Morgan Oliver to reach first safely. CMU put up three more runs

in the top of the ninth. Junior Nick Regnier reached base on another MSU error, followed by a string of at-bats that loaded the bases. All three runs were unearned, scoring on fielder’s choice plays. CMU starting pitcher, Adam Aldred, was solid in the team’s streak-snapping victory. “I felt good, I knew what I wanted to do and it was working in the bullpen (and) I was able to carry it onto the field,” Aldred said. “Everyone was playing well behind me. We were getting guys on base and making things happen.” Jaksa said his team left something to be desired in the field as well. “I think we did a real nice job defensively,” Jaksa said. “I thought Adam Aldred did a great job pitching the game. We closed out very nicely. I’m very pleased with how Jason (Gamble) came in.” Tuesday was the first of a three-game series with the Spartans this season. Game two will be at 3:05 p.m. on April 26 at Theunissen Stadium. The series will finish with a 7:05 p.m. game on May 13 at Comerica Park in Detroit. CMU baseball returns to Mount Pleasant today for a 3:05 p.m. matchup against Oakland. Redshirt freshman Blake Hibbitts is scheduled to start today’s game.

Sophomores prepare for spot in Threads Fashion Show

By Shardae Jefferson | Staff Reporter

wo sophomores are making waves in the world of fashion design at Central Michigan University. Saginaw native Kimberly Johnson and White Lake native Hannah Fedorko are the lone sophomores with clothing lines featured in this year’s Threads Fashion Show.

Threads, a fashion show where students showcase the work and effort they have put into their craft, is one of the largest events on CMU’s campus, being held in Plachta Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The theme of this year’s show is art, and the two chose to base their designs on the works of artist Edgar Degas. “I am nervous about making it because we want it to be up to par,”

Fedorko said. “There are seniors doing senior collections, and we just want it to be on the same level.” Degas is called the founder of Impressionism. The duo drew inspiration from his paintings and decided to create a line of tutus and ballerina-related garments as much of his work featured dancers. w THREADS | 2B

Coming from a small town, Georgia Morley has big city dreams of working in the fashion industry. In the summer of 2013, the Drafter senior got a taste of those dreams when she left for New York and earned an internship for fashion designer Walter Baker. Morley worked in his showroom and did his PR work, which coincides with her double majors in apparel merchandising and public relations. “You may call 100 people in search for a job or internship, and only have one person answer,” Morley said. “Sometimes you have to cry, but then get back out there and keep chasing toward your dreams in the industry.” What was most helpful for her in getting the internship was the alumni contact list, apparel merchandising and design professor Tanya Domina and Freefashioninternships. com. “Adapt to your surroundings, jump in, meet professors early and become best friends because you will need them,” Morley said. Studying abroad can be hard for some people because they have to be so far away from home. That was not the case for Morley. She knew there was so much to experience in the world and she needed to leave Michigan if she wanted to work on a larger scale. She lived in Italy for six weeks in 2012, taking classes and traveling the countryside. Visiting Rome, Morley said the city has a modern commercialized feel, complete with a McDonald’s, while Florence is still vintage, what people expect to see when they go to Italy. Being Assistant Professor of Apparel Merchandising and Design Carol Beard’s teaching assistant at CMU sent her to Las Vegas in February for Magic Market Week. “Ever since I met Georgia three years ago, she has always been an enthusiastic student willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done,” Beard said. “She evaluates what is going on in her life and carefully makes plans to balance school work, build her skill sets and her résumé.” w MORLEY | 2B

Mahone, Urueta sworn in as top SGA leadership at Monday inauguration By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

With many rounds of thunderous applause, the Student Government Association officials chosen in last week’s election were welcomed and sworn in at their inauguration Monday. Held in the Bovee University Center Rotunda, the event celebrated SGA’s achievements of the last year and looked to the future of the organization. Following their landslide victory in the election, President-elect Charles Mahone and running mate Mariah Urueta were sworn in at the ceremony. “I feel really blessed by all the support from everyone who helped us get here,” Mahone said. “Mariah and I couldn’t have won if not for all the people behind us.” The ceremony opened with a statement from the outgoing SGA President, Marie Reimers. The Saginaw senior congratulated Mahone and Urueta and said she looks forward to seeing what the new administration will accomplish. Mahone, a Macomb junior, said their first task in office will be to choose an executive board. All students will have the chance to apply for the positions when they begin accepting applica-

tions later in the month. “It’s been a long week, but our work is just beginning,” Urueta said. “I’m excited to get our e-board together so we can start working toward the goals from our platform.” A variety of awards were given out at the event. Each committee gave out a Member of the Year award for outstanding dedication to the group’s work. The Residence Hall Assembly also claimed an award for its work and cooperation with SGA throughout the year. Reimers selected St. Clair Shores senior Kevin White to receive the award for outstanding SGA member. White worked throughout the year on reforms to the Campus Programming Fund. The reform aimed to increase the annual budget for the fund, which provides money for organizations on campus like SGA, the Office of Student Life and Program Board. Reimers announced during the ceremony the CMU Board of Trustees has decided on a reform plan for the CPF and there will be a funding increase next semester. The amount has not been determined. studentlife@cm-life.com

THREADS | CONTINUED FROM 1B

Johnson and Fedorko met in AMD 140, an intro to construction class, and quickly became friends. They have classes together and sew at the same time, so partnering was inevitable. EHS faculty member Wendy Honey has mentored the two. While taking AMD 240, advanced apparel construction, Honey helped them create a sewing foundation to advance in the future. After students pass the class, they are eligible for

Threads. “You want to put lines in Threads every year because it is great exposure and experience,” Johnson said. “There’s certain job opportunities that you can get, you never know who’s in the audience. Make connections when you can.” Johnson is studying abroad in Italy next fall, taking purse/shoe design, and hoping to take a fashion photography class. Fedorko wants to travel abroad in her senior year to either Paris or Italy – the major fashion capitals of the world. She wants to eventually work for Kleinfield, notorious for being a dream wedding dress store.

Johnson wants to change the industry and make clothes for plus-size models that are cute and affordable. It’s difficult to have plus-size clothes with the same design as standard size clothing. She wants to open a business as big as Forever21 or HM that sells trendy, stylish clothing across the board. Classmates and fashion lovers can expect to see lots of pink and high-ballerina buns when Johnson and Fedorko display their collection at the 2014 Threads Fashion Show.

“Adapt to your surroundings, jump in, meet professors early and become best friends because you will need them.”

CONTINUED FROM 1B Morley stressed the importance of students going to events, even alone, just to meet influential people in the business. “Connecting and networking with students and faculty members in your field will help you with future jobs and experiences,” she said. Returning from Las Vegas, she found herself in the computer aided design

Gorgeia Morley, Drafter senior lab at 4 a.m. wanting to pull her hair out. AMD majors producing tangible items are what keep Morley going even when she wants to give up. “Having passion and patience is key to this industry because it moves at

such a fast pace,” she said. “Don’t be scared, get involved, cry a lot. There is so much out there to see and experience, so take every chance and risk you can.” studentlife@cm-life.com

NINE GRILL

Tianyu Han/Staff Photographer Students and community members look around the graphic design gallery at the Campus Art Gallery on Tuesday.

Art lovers were not prepared for the jawdropping works of graphic design put on display in the University Art Gallery on Saturday, where every piece dazzled the eye and bombarded the senses. Visionarium, an exhibit created by the graphic design capstone class, opened Saturday with a reception and a chance to talk to senior graphic design students about what they created and why. Visitors were greeted at the door by a creatively animated promotional video designed by the class to introduce the exhibit. The theme of the gallery is visions of the future, metaphorically and literally. Flint senior Rebecca Thresher wanted to develop a concept for something that doesn’t exist yet. “I have a love of science

and the gallery’s concept was a vision of the future,” said the featured graphic designer. “What better way to see the future than with a time machine?” Viewers of the piece could use a computer to explore the possibility of time travel and analyze an infographic explaining the theory of relativity. Northville senior Evan Bentley redefined the meaning of interactive art with his piece that asks the question, “What is worth?” Ninety-eight dollar bills hung in rows, and people could take a dollar off the line if they took a photograph of themselves, printed it at the exhibit, wrote on it what they thought their existence was worth, and hung it in the dollars place. Photos left at the gallery left messages such as “our love” and “our goofy personalities” on the prints. “People measure them-

selves by how much money they make to decide how much they are worth,” Bentley said. “It’s not about how much you have, it’s how much you give.” Bentley’s work is far from finished as he set up a camera near the exhibit to record people leaving photos of themselves so he can turn it into a time-lapse video. The gallery is not simply a high-tech display of graphic design greatness. There were also numerous creative works designed to have as much function as they do style. Other work on display at the gallery include designs for Michigan’s rebranding campaigns and infographics about the importance of vaccinations. “I love the overall design concept of the gallery,” said theater professor Betsy Richard. “It has a perfect mix of low-tech and hightech designs.” The Visionarium is on

Rockin’ and reading: Wellspring Literary Series hosts musical guests, poets By Arielle Hines Staff Reporter

Hannah Fillmore loves poetry’s ability to inspire. “I think it makes people feel things,” she said. “It’s like music; it touches everyone.” The Hope senior said she went to her first Art Reach Wellspring Literary Series reading during her freshman year, but could never have predicted she would perform at one. Studying English and music, she has done poetry readings in the past, but Fillmore has never been a featured poet. “(Performing) is kind of a rush,” she said. “It’s happy and exhilarating and, at the end, you hope your poetry meant something to someone.” The Art Reach of Mid Michigan in downtown Mount Pleasant was filled with about 100 people at the final reading of the event’s fifth year, Monday night. The mission of the series is to bring prominent and emerging poets, along with

creative writing students and musicians, to Mount Pleasant. Robert Fanning, an associate professor at Central Michigan University, created the series. It has been vibrant over the years, he said, with audiences ranging from 70 to 100 people for each reading. “The combination of poetry, music and art makes for a terrific reading,” Fanning said. “Also, Max & Emily’s provides food for every event, which is a fantastic attractor.” The night included poetry readings from Fillmore and Grand Valley State University professor, Patricia Clark. Fanning performed with his rock band, Daryl and the Beans, alongside fellow English instructors Darrin Doyle and Jeffrey Bean. Daryl and the Beans concluded the night with its performance of several songs including covers of “Cum On Feel The Noize” by Slade, and “Poor Little Thing” by the Broken Family Band. Fillmore read poems that

were both comedic and dark. Her selection included a series of haikus titled “Michigan” and a newer version of a poem that will be printed in this semester’s edition of The Central Review called, “Aubude.” Clark is an established poet with four volumes of poetry published, the latest being, “Sunday Rising.” One of Clark’s poems, “Flys,” was written after she looked up her family’s history and found out her grandfather’s mother had died giving birth to him. “This was a beautiful story and he never told us it,” she said. “It explains why he was grumpy and a little mean at times.” To Clark, a misconception of poets is that they are more introspective than most people. “It’s a myth that (poets) have deep thoughts and they just don’t,” Clark said. “Everyone thinks these things, but a poet is a person who makes it a habit of writing

their thoughts down.” Despite attending the event for a class assignment, Pontiac senior Marlita Gamble said she was surprised at how much she enjoyed herself. “All the poetry was awesome. The band, which

included my professor, was amazing and, quite frankly, much better than I originally thought,” Gamble said. “I can’t wait to go to more Wellspring readings next year that are not for class.” Fanning said he is already planning for next year’s

series and expects the first reading to be in October. He said information will be on the Art Reach website closer to the fall. metro@cm-life.com
