CMU leaves track director Randolph in the dust Assistant Kaczor named interim director By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter
Assistant head coach Matt Kaczor will fill in as interim director of track and field and cross-country after Central Michigan University declined to renew Willie Randolph’s contract. CMU athletics director Dave Heeke announced Wednesday his
decision to part ways with Randolph after his four-year tenure. “It came to a point where we felt it was in the best interest of the program to move in a different direction,” Heeke said. “Primarily, we needed new leadership and vision.” A nationwide search for a new director is a high priority for Heeke with cross-country competition beginning in August. In the mean-
time Kaczor, who worked with distance runners, will be directing the program. Heeke said CMU will continue to have one director lead both the men’s Willie Randolph and women’s programs, much like other programs in the Mid-American Conference and NCAA.
“This is the most effective and efficient model for us to utilize and we will continue with a consistent structure of having a combined program,” he said. Heeke’s evaluation of Randolph’s leadership, management and direction over the past four years were all taken into consideration when deciding not to renew his contract. Randolph isn’t the only coach leaving the program this offseason. Assistant coach Bobby Wilson finished the spring season, but will not have his contract renewed. Heeke
said all other assistant coaches will remain on staff during the search for Randolph’s replacement. Kaczor was not available for comment Thursday.

Gealt predicts ‘great things ahead’ for university By Catey Traylor Fall Editor-in-Chief
Michael Gealt said great things are happening at Central Michigan University, and he will be the person to spread the word. School pride, departmental collaboration and communication are just a few traits valued by Gealt, and he plans to bring those characteristics to CMU beginning Aug. 1 when he replaces Provost Gary Shapiro. As provost, Gealt Michael Gealt will oversee academics at CMU, serving as the university’s second-highest ranking official in the administration, following President George Ross. “I’m really happy to be at CMU, and I can’t wait to get up there and start work,” Gealt said. “I’ve been so happy with how open and welcoming people have been, and I know this is the kind of environment I’d like to spend my academic career in.” Gealt, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics and professor of biology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock since 2006, was chosen from a pool of more than 20 applicants to serve as Shapiro’s replacement upon his retirement in July. He will earn an annual salary of $264,000. Before his time at ULAR, Gealt taught and held top positions at Purdue University Calumet and Drexel University, totaling more than 40 years of experience in higher education. He said all of his time spent in academia has taught him communication is key in the workplace. “You need to talk to everyone,” he said. “Having worked at multiple institutions, I’ve worked with people across the spectrum in order to help those places move forward. What I hope to show when I get (to CMU) is that I’m accessible and out there talking to people and getting people together.” A PROVOST | 2

Former university president Ellis ‘treasured’ his time at Central By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Arthur Ellis from 1986 during his second year as president at Central Michigan University.
Former Central Michigan University President Arthur “Art” Ellis, 80, an instrumental force in creating the CMU Research Corp.’s Mount Pleasant SmartZone, died Thursday after a battle with lung cancer. A memorial service was held on Tuesday for CMU’s ninth president, who died at Woodland Hospice, 2597 S. Meridian Road. “Working at Central Michigan University was one of the most important things he did in his life,” Art’s son Mark Ellis said. “He absolutely treasured his time there, and we believe
he left the university better than he found it.” Ellis was born on Sept.14, 1932, to Archibald and Antoinette Ellis in Grand Rapids. He graduated from Jackson Junior College with an associate’s degree, from Michigan State University with a bachelor’s degree and from Eastern Michigan University with a master’s degree. Ellis, a Korean War Army veteran, worked as a budget analyst from 1957 through 1968, before beginning his career in higher education by becoming secretary of the Eastern Michigan University Board of Regents in 1968.
In 1970, Ellis became Vice President of Public Affairs at CMU, serving as the university’s interim president in 1975 and again in 1985. He became president full-time in 1986. As president, Ellis played a key role in creating the CMU Research Corp.’s Mount Pleasant SmartZone. The SmartZone was developed to attract and retain technological research companies in mid-Michigan. Ellis retired from CMU in 1988, but was called back to public service in 1991 when Gov. John Engler appointed him as the director of the Michigan Department of Commerce. A ELLIS | 2

PROVOST | CONTINUED FROM 1 A large part of his job as provost, Gealt said, is to regularly have both formal and informal conversations with students. “What I usually do here in Little Rock is open up conversations with students as I walk around campus. Often, I’ve had conversations with students on their way to class,” he said. “We host a lot of events on campus that involve students, and that gives me the opportunity to speak with them on an informal basis. I’d like to do that at CMU, too.” CMU’s faculty and staff can expect plenty of conversation with Gealt, too, as he said collaboration is an important part of an institution’s success.
“We do a lot of collaboration at Little Rock, and I plan to foster that same collaboration at CMU,” he said. “It’s about getting people in the same room and talking to find common goals and interest and building on those. I’ll be a provost who talks with a lot of people and brings them together. It’s hard to do, but if CMU is going to move forward and expand in the future, the collaborations will drive all of this.” Gealt said, more than anything, it’s important to acknowledge the success of CMU’s students, faculty and staff. “I have to not be afraid to boast about the great things that are happening at CMU,” he said. “There are wonderful things going on at this university. And someone’s got to be out there showing those things off.” university@cm-life.com

LIFE IN BRIEF SPORTS
HEEKE NAMED TO NCAA PRESIDENT’S 10-MEMBER COUNCIL It’s a tough job for NCAA President Mark Emmert to keep up with the ever changing landscape of the NCAA. Emmert has agreed to form a 10-member council of athletic directors to meet with him and his senior staff regularly starting in July. Central Michigan University athletics director Dave Heeke has been one of the 10 that Emmert has named to his council. Emmert told the Wall Street Journal, who originally reported the development of the new council, that he wanted to take decisions on recruiting rules and other hot- Dave Heeke button issues with college sports out of the hands of college presidents and into the hands of those who work with coaches and their assistants, athletics directors. “It’s clear right now where the association has gone, it’s pushed the pendulum too far in one direction,” Emmert said in the interview with WSJ. “And it really has cut athletic directors out of the national discussion.” The announcement came as a surprise to many in the NCAA as there has been a 20-member council that dealt with similar issues since the mid-1990s. “We’ve had this other group in place for 16 years,” said executive director of the Division 1-A Athletics Directors’ Association Dutch Baughman. “So to create this new group was somewhat of a surprise.” Heeke is joined by the athletics directors of Kentucky, San Jose State, Arizona, Kansas State, Connecticut, Clemson, Ohio State, Montana State and Denver. —Kristopher Lodes, Managing Editor

Central Michigan University has come to collective bargaining agreements with the unions representing its office professionals and supervisory-technical employees that take them through June 2016. CMU announced a tentative agreements with the United Auto Workers Local 6888, which represents the 324 office professionals at the university, and a deal with the Supervisory-Technical Association, which represents CMU’s 118 supervisory-technical employees, this week. Both agreements take the unions through June 30, 2016. Their current agreements are set to expire at the end of this month. The STA agreement was ratified on Monday. It includes a 2.5-percent base wage increase in the first year of the new contract, with a 0.5-percent increase for the next two years. ST employees will pay 8.5 percent, 9.5 percent and 10 percent toward their retirement contributions during the contract’s three years. Details of the UAW contract, which has not yet been officially ratified, are unknown. The union will meet today for a ratification meeting. — John Irwin, Editor-in-Chief

Schultz, a 2010 CMU graduate who majored integrative public relations and advertising, lost to Miss Connecticut Erin Brady. Brady will go on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe competition. Schultz is currently studying for a master’s degree in advertising at Michigan State University. While the result might not have been ideal for Schultz, she Jaclyn Schultz certainly had a better go of things than Marissa Powell, Miss Utah, who stumbled over a question about equal pay for women during the oftentimes tricky interview portion of the beauty pageant.

UNIVERSITY DINING
WHAT’S OPEN ON CAMPUS? Some on-campus students must walk from across campus in order to eat at a dining hall. East campus’ Fresh Food Company closed with little warning last month until July 28, leaving students living on east campus having to walk to the Towers to eat at Real Food on Campus. No mass email was sent out, and only a relatively unnoticeable note on FFCo.’s doors note that it had closed, confusing some of the students living there. CMU’s policies on sending out mass emails hinders campus dining’s ability to warn students of such instances of changing where food is served. “The university has strict guidelines on when mass emails can go out to students. Therefore, we do not have access to such a database to send an email to students about hours of operation,” Director of Residential Dining for Campus Dining Brenda Marquardt said in an email.

Auburn senior Jeremy Primeau watches the game clock run out as he competes virtually during the final round of the 5th International ERPsim Competition Thursday in Grawn Hall.
Four Central Michigan University seniors can call themselves world champions after winning the fifth annual International ERPsim business competitionlast week. They found themselves out-competing nine other teams, including teams from Purdue University and Universitas Islam Indonesia, in a simulated, high-stress business environment, hosted by the ERPsim Lab in Montreal. The team, comprised of Escanaba senior Nicole Ladouceur, Taylor senior Ashley Hall, Washington Twp. senior Ryan Vanneste, Auburn senior Jeremy Primeau and team coach and College of Business faculty Dana McCann, competed virtually from Grawn Hall. “We’ve been training and getting used to the program for about five months now, going above and beyond we probably needed to. But it paid off,” Vanneste said. The team competed in a five-round game in which each team would use software provided by the SAP University Alliance and Informational Management Institute to run a mock company with six products. The rounds were split into ten days, each “day” lasting about 1-2 minutes each. They were able to control every aspect of a business through one interface, including shipping products to stores, changing the prices of their products and monitoring market sales. Each member had a specific task, but they were interchangeable, so each team member could do every job at any time. CMU finished in first-place in every round except one, earning each team member a $500 scholarship. Primeau said the team will have another go at it next year. “We’ll all be here for another year, so I think we’ll all go back in and try to win again,” he said. university@cm-life.com
All programs meet NCAA APR marks — despite ranking at bottom of the MAC By Kristopher Lodes Managing Editor
The scores are in for the annual Academic Progress Rating (APR) and all 16 Central Michigan programs have met the mark. The NCAA calculates APR scores by measuring a sports program’s eligibility, retention and graduation rates. Softball led the way with a score of 997, three points off a perfect score and leading all Mid-American Conference softball teams. Football scored on the opposite end of the spectrum with a score of 937, which put the team at ninth in the MAC. The NCAA requires that teams must earn a minimum 900 or average 930 on a scale to 1,000 in the last two years to avoid penalty. If teams fail to meet these marks the program receives a Level One to Three penalty as punishment with three being the worst. The biggest jump by program was recorded by the gymnastics team with a score of 974, nine points up from the last APR score, however the rest of the MAC gymnastic programs also flourished and CMU found itself at the bottom of the conference, as did
men’s cross-country (947), women’s basketball (955), women’s soccer (973), women’s indoor track and field (963) and women’s outdoor track and field (963). Despite being ranked at the bottom of the MAC women’s basketball improved five points and women’s soccer improved by eight points. The biggest drops came from men’s cross-country which lost 22 points from last year, both indoor and outdoor men’s track and field lost 11 points and women’s cross-country lost 16 points. Women’s volleyball also had a score improvement at 971, up five points from last year, but barely finishing above the bottom of the MAC with the 11th rated score. Twenty-five schools received a Level One punishment which results in reduction of practice time by four hours and one day. The NCAA sites this punishment to put more focus on academics. Six teams received a Level Two punishment which, in addition to the Level One sanctions, results in elimination of non-championship seasons (fall baseball and softball, spring football, etc..) or a reduced number of

EDITORIAL | “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Speak up!
C
ountless times, we’ve seen our fellow classmates tweet, Facebook or comment about problems they have with Central Michigan University and a variety of its policies.
But, we’re willing to bet that only a handful of those people went to those in power to make their desire for change known. Heading into the second summer semester and looking forward to the fall semester, that should change. We, as a student body, should follow in the footsteps of Morley senior Christine Salvati, who after she saw a problem with the Student Activity Center’s policy for online students, took action. Before Salvati brought the issue
to the president’s office, students enrolled only in online classes could not use the SAC to work out or have fun. Those students used to have to pay to use the SAC whereas all other students could go for free. She saw an issue with that, so instead of simply complaining to friends in real life and online, she calmly but firmly made her voice heard to the president’s office. While too many of us use Twitter as a way to lash out, Salvati used it to reach out to anyone who can help
—Ghandi
her cause. She found help, and now, all students can use the SAC without having to signup for a membership. We’re asking you, the students, to learn from her. Speak up if you have a problem with the university and do everything you can in your power to make a change. Go to the president’s office, contact a Student Government Association representative or even go straight to new SGA President Maria Reimers and let them know what’s on your mind so the problem can be addressed. Many times, the university doesn’t even know there is a problem because students don’t speak up. How can problems be fixed if those who make the decisions don’t know they are there?
This goes beyond the university, as well. Time and time again, we have seen progress made in society when those who have an issue with the way things are speak up and demand a change. Become active. Our generation is often written off as the “Me Me Me Generation,” as a recent Time magazine cover story labeled us. We’re supposedly lazy, entitled and apathetic. It does not have to be that way. Active, knowledgeable and aware young people have the power to create a better world for themselves, on issues ranging from the large to the seemingly trivial. History shows us that. So, let’s start talking.

Living by the Five P’s
Media has failed us in covering NSA scandal
I don’t know about you, but I strongly live my life by the Five P’s. I’m the youngest daughter of a Polish man who runs a restaurant that serves primarily Italian and Mexican food. Growing up, living by the Five P’s was the No. 1 thing my dad instilled in my sisters and I as we helped fold pizza boxes or sweep the kitchen floor. We’d take family trips to Chicago each summer, and every time I dragged my dad by the hand into the American Girl doll store, I’d point things out to him that I wanted. But, every time I showed him a different item, he, in turn, pointed out the price tag. “If you want things in life, you have to live by the Five Ps,” he said. The Five P’s? I was eight. I had no idea what he meant. “Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. If you want something, you have to properly plan, to prevent poor performance later.” The rest of that weekend, I repeated the phrase in my head. The next time I went to my dad’s restaurant, he explained to me that if I were to help out around the restaurant, he’d pay me. That way, when we took our next trip to Chicago, I could purchase more doll accessories. “The Five P’s, right, Dad?” “Absolutely.” My dad has been in the business for 35 years. He turns 54 this year. You can do the math. In 1978, after just finishing high school, my father decided he didn’t want to work on the railroad like his father and older brothers. So, he got a small loan and opened Vitale’s Pizza of Rockford. He’s been serving the Rockford community ever since.

Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified documents detailing the federal government’s massive phone and Internet monitoring programs, has been impossible to avoid in the news as of late. Ever since he revealed himself as the one who released the documents, Snowden has become perhaps the most high-profile player in the national news media. Unfortunately, it’s been for all the wrong reasons. Say what you will about him or about leaking classified documents to the press, but this moment should have been the time to discuss the future of massive government oversight of communication and the balance we should strike between security and liberty. Instead, it’s seemingly devolved to a back-and-forth shouting match between civil libertarians and surveillance state-proponents about whether or not to classify Snowden as a traitor and about who can come up with the better insults. Check out these doozies from some of the nation’s most prominent journalists: w “He is, rather, a grandiose narcissist who deserves to be in prison.” - New Yorker contributor and CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin. w “I think he’ll go down as a crossdressing Little Red Riding Hood.” - The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen. w “(Snowden) is just a narcissistic young man who has decided he is smarter than the rest of us.” - CBS’ “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer. These are not fringe pundits that we expect to mindlessly scream at us on the television on a nightly basis. These are respected, important national figures in the news media who we normally rely upon for getting us to the heart of an issue. How Snowden dresses or acts is irrelevant. What his intentions were in releasing the documents should not matter. His attitude about the rest of the nation is a moot point. What we need to be discussing right now is the future of the national security state. It’s vitally important to the future of our democracy to have these debates. In the post-9/11 world, as we have fought terrorism abroad and as the Internet has continued to grow, America’s national security apparatus has expanded exponentially. It can now monitor the phone records of virtually every American and is keeping an eye on just about every interaction made on the Internet. As we wind down the war in Afghanistan, the threat of terrorism and, increasingly, cyberterrorism still loom over the nation. That’s why it is crucial that we, right now, have a discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of these programs. What kind of balance should we strike between privacy and security? That is not an easy question to answer. But how we decide to answer it will determine what kind of nation we will be living in, say, 10 years from now. That’s hard to do, though, when the people who are supposed to spark the debate (journalists) are in large part shirking their responsibilities on the national stage.

Grandparentsu
Event hosts classes, bonding experiences for grandparents and grandchildren CM Life Staff Reports
Grandparents and children will be joining Central Michigan University students on campus today through Friday as a part of GrandparentsU. GrandparentsU is an opportunity for grandparents and their grandchildren ages 8-12, to bond through taking part in classes and activities throughout campus. Participants will experience on-campus residence life by staying in Kessler Hall and eat at the Real Food on Campus dining hall, both located in the Towers. The classes, including courses in theater, geography, history, and biology, are taught by CMU faculty and are chosen based off of preference and the date of registration. Various evening activities will be held at the Student Activity Center on Wednesday and Thursday night.

Strike Out Domestic Violence fundraiser aims to bring awareness By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter
Fifteen dollars can buy Mount Pleasant residents three games of bowling and an education about domestic violence at 7 p.m. Thursday at Riverwood Golf Resort. Teams of four can register at the door for the Strike Out Domestic Violence fundraiser in support of the Women’s Aid Service. Food and drink specials will be offered throughout the event. There will also be live music and a 50/50 raffle offering unique items helping to raise money for WAS. Breckenridge senior Jaimie Capen, who helped organize the event, said this will be a great opportunity to increase the awareness of domestic violence in
the community. “The event will allow people to learn about domestic violence while having fun. I hope that by having this event there will be more awareness throughout the community about domestic violence,” Capen said. All of the money raised will go to WAS, which provides domestic violence and sexual assault services to women in the Clare, Gratiot and Isabella counties. Its mission is to provide safety and empowerment to victims of domestic violence and sexual assaults. Monetary donations will be accepted at the event and online at www. youcaring.com/other/ strike-out-domesticviolence/65690. metro@cm-life.com
