Voisin named assistant VP of student affairs

Grad student housing 50 percent complete

By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

With winter fast approaching, the graduate student housing project is more than 50 -percent complete.

“The goal is to try to get it all sealed up for winter,” Vice President of Facilities Management Steve Lawrence said. “That includes the continuation of brick, windows and finishing the roof.”

Parking lots and other entrances are still closed due to construction on the project.

“The Lansing Street entrance into Lot 8 is currently closed, so we can extend the underground steam and data lines from the Franklin Street tunnel crossing,” Lawrence said.

Lawrence said having the steam connected is critical to having temporary heat later this fall.

The masonry work will continue wrapping around each building in sections, with faces being run up to the roof line. The windows still have to be set into place, and the roof installation is still a continuation.

All of the interior mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems are being routed in the walls and ceilings. Once the building is weather-tight, the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will be inspected, and wallboard will start being hung.

Permanent power will also be turned on in late October, allowing the activation of HVAC equipment and lights, Lawrence said.

The buildings are still on schedule to be completed by the end of March 2013, with the exception of some final spring landscaping and other exterior details set to be completed in April or May of that same year.

The sound of silence Only five percent of sexual assaults reported nationally

By Shelby Miller

More than 20 sexual assault cases occur on campuses each week, said Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates Services Director Stephen Thompson.

However, the national sexual report rate is maybe five in 100, he said.

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said, since 2008, only 12 sexual assault have been reported on campus, and a majority of assaults go unreported.

There are many reasons a victim does not report a sexual assault, Yeagley said, including: the victim person-

ally knows the attacker, or the victim is worried the community or campus will recognize them. A majority of sexual assault investigations point to alcohol as a factor, he said.

“With a high percentage of these incidents, either the victim and/or the suspect consumed alcohol before these

incidents occur,” he said.

According to the Michigan Incident Crime Reporting analysis, there were 3,290 first-degree sexual penetration assaults reported to the police in 2011. Of those victims, 97 percent were female, and 71 percent of victims were white.

The report shows there was some form of relationship between the victim and the offender in the majority of sexual assaults that occurred, with only 12 percent of offenders considered to be strangers.

Central Michigan University’s SAPA leads the country in sexual awareness and

prevention, Thompson said, yet many victims don’t take advantage of the program, and many don’t report the incident to the police.

SAPA is in direct contact with roughly 250 survivors each year, which is not a lot compared to the number of students at CMU, he said.

“Thirty years ago, the police and prosecutors were the problem,” Thompson said.

“Today, it’s the people that don’t want to come forward.”

He said many times the survivor just wants to talk to an advocate, rather than report the incident to the police.

A ASSAULT| 2

Anthony Voisin has been named assistant vice president of student affairs for Central Michigan University.

Voisin, a CMU alum, has worked in student affairs at CMU since 1985, holding positions as a residence hall director, assistant director of residence life, director of student life and, most recently, interim dean of students and interim assistant vice president of student affairs, where he earned an annual salary of $97,720.

Voisin’s annual salary is now $115,000.

Steven Johnson, vice president of enrollment and student services, announced the appointment Wednesday afternoon.

“Throughout his tenure, Tony has demonstrated his commitment to providing students with the best opportunities for enhancing their college experience,” Johnson said in a news release. “He maintains excellent working relationships with various constituents across the university.”

Voisin will be responsible for leading and directing the Counseling Center, Office of Student Life, Leadership Institute, Student Disability Services and Volunteer Center. He will also be responsible for providing day-to-day guidance for Residence Life.

“It’s exciting,” Voisin said. “It will be a great challenge. We have much work to continue, but I am very thankful and grateful for the opportunity.” university@cm-life.com

Proposal 4 would give home health care workers collective bargaining rights

By John Irwin Elections Coordinator

The Service Employees International Union and a group of faith leaders are backing the Nov. 6 ballot’s Proposal 4, which would give home health care providers some collective bargaining rights.

The proposal, if passed, would “allow in-home care workers to bargain collectively with the Michigan Quality Home Care Council,” an agency which would be established under the amendment.

The MQHCC would re-establish a registry of home care

providers that connects them with health care recipients.

Previously, the now-defunct Michigan Quality Community Care Council ran the registry.

Last year, legislation signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder defunded the council and

with it, the registry.

Snyder and home care workers have been in conflict since he took office. Starting in 2006 after negotiations, home care workers listed under the council’s registry were all represented by the SEIU, with the council listed as each worker’s employer.

After the Republican-led state legislature defunded the council in an attempt to prevent “forced unionization,” union dues were still deducted from the paychecks of home care workers. In response, they passed legislation keeping home care workers from

being called public employees, meaning the SEIU could no longer represent them.

The law was challenged in court by the SEIU, and a judge ruled that the dues could still be collected until their contract with the SEIU expires in February 2013.

The proposal would re-instate the collective bargaining rights the workers previously had as public employees.

In addition to allowing home care workers to unionize as public employees, the proposal would set the guidelines that the MQHCC would have to abide by.

The MQHCC would have to “provide training” for the workers and financial help for patients dealing with the costs of in-home care.

It would also “preserve patients’ rights to hire in-home care workers who are not referred from the MQHCC registry.”

Snyder, in a statement released last week, reaffirmed his opposition to the proposal.

“This proposal does little to help those in our state who need home health care, and it certainly doesn’t help our dedicated healthcare providers,” Snyder said.

The proposal was pushed for by the SEIU and the political committee Keep Home Care Safe.

“The ... proposal is supported by senior and disability rights advocates across Michigan, because it will give our loved ones better access to safe, quality home care,” the group says on its website.

Proposal 4 is also supported by the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Michigan Disability Rights Coalition and a group of Michigan faith leaders. metro@cm-life.com

CMU alum Andrew Hawkes featured in Grand Rapids ArtPrize

By Charnae Sanders Staff Reporter

PHOTO COURTSEY/AIMEE BENTLEY

CMU alum Andrew Hawkes installs his 3D art form piece, ‘It’s Not My Fault,’ currently featured in the Grand Rapids Art Museum for ArtPrize.

While some people relieve stress by going to the gym or taking a long walk, Central Michigan University alum Andrew Hawkes calms himself by creating pieces of art.

Hawkes’ 3D art form piece, ‘It’s Not My Fault’, is currently featured in Grand Rapids ArtPrize, a world-renowned art competition, and has not only met several other artists but is establishing a wider range of new fans.

“I applied just like anybody else,” Hawkes said. “It’s been extremely validating to have my work at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. I’ve been told out of 900 applicants for the Grand Rapids Art Museum,

I was one of the 21 chosen to show there, and it’s been a great experience. I didn’t make it to the top 25, but it’s been such an honor to be able to show my work and have thousands upon thousands of people see my work.”

He said he entered a piece most people know him for.

“It’s hard not to be proud of something you get so many compliments on and that you get to be in the newspaper with, and I’m pretty proud of that piece,” he said.

Hawkes would not define art simply as a painting or something that is only hung up in a museum but as anything that brings out curiosity and makes you wonder.

“I think that art is anything

that’s challenging or anything that’s questioning,” Hawkes said. “It doesn’t have to challenge too much; it doesn’t have to question too much.

I think art is something that you look at and have to think about. I think art is really making people question what is true, what is beautiful, what is important, and I think good art challenges that in those dimensions that we have.”

After joining a photo club in high school, Hawkes came to CMU to study art. While developing his style, Hawkes also found people who provided him with support and guidance.

“Taking classes with Johanna Paas and David

Donovan,” Hawkes said. “The both of them were just really kind of like art parents and charmed you and made you think and maybe made you try really hard. I come from the BFA program, which made me the special artist I am and I’ve only been an artist for four months now, but having to talk about my work, having to write about my work … having to send it on a semester by semester basis really helped me develop as an artist.”

Paas was attracted to Hawke’s work and always knew he was very ambitious and self-motivating.

They don’t want to have it brought up by going to court,” he said. “Our system here is survivor-centered. There’s no pressure one way or another.”

The program offers help face to face through a crisis line, and victims can also chat online.

“SAPA and the university are so supportive of survivors,” Thompson said. “The problem is the people closest to survivors don’t give them the support.”

Aside from SAPA, CMU also provides a variety of prevention tools, including safe rides, blue lights to immediately alert police, sexual assault classes, marked police cars, video cameras in isolated areas, dorm desk personnel and residence hall directors.

CMED LAB

A research lab building will be constructed for the College of Medicine after being approved by the Board of Trustees during the Sept. 20 meeting.

The building will have a $7 million budget and should be completed by June 1, 2013, Lawrence said.

It will include eight labs, eight offices and enough space for 24 graduate students. One of those eight labs will be reserved for student use for the College of Health Professions.

Thompson said the 52 SAPA advisers not only spend close to 100 hours training, they also are taught to advertise the program.

“There are students who don’t realize the service exists,” he said.

With the lack of sexual assault reports comes the lack of suspects prosecuted. Yeagley said only one report has resulted in an arrest in the last four years.

There are typically two types of sexual assault situations: the victim knows the suspect, or the victim doesn’t know the suspect, Yeagley said.

“The ones that get reported more often are the ones where it’s a stranger,” he said. “Those are much more difficult to solve. There’s very little interaction, so there’s very little to go on.”

ing to be participating in an upcoming show in New York.

He has been teaching several workshops, including ones in the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum, and he is also going to be one of the 12 Detroitbased artists in a book coming out in the working pattern of Harbinger focusing on the different points the artists are in during their career.

“Since graduating, I’ve been focusing on my exhibition career, because when I was in CMU, I was making a lot and I wasn’t showing a lot,” Hawkes said. “I focus on getting my

work published, getting them during shows and really just trying to build up my resume.”

Saginaw senior Tisch Lewis said Hawkes is a person who is passionate about his work.

“He makes a point to build a community with his peers and in turn influence others,” the Saginaw native said. “He is very hardworking and good at describing his feelings through his art. I personally like his paper art, including ‘It’s Not My Fault.’”

Through networking, Hawkes has had his work exhibited in shows from

Michigan to NYC. “It’s all been through networking and working very hard,” Hawkes said. “Nothing comes easy, and there’s a whole world of ‘no’ out there, and I’ve been told ‘no’ way more times than I’ve been told ‘yes.’”

As of now, Hawkes has his next six months planned out for him. He will be traveling around the country for more exhibitions, while competing in ArtPrize. He was just chosen as one of 100 artists to proceed to the next round out of 2,000 contestants.

Hawkes said the best piece

of advice he can give an aspiring artist is to work hard.

“You have to want it; no one’s going to want it for you, and no one’s going to make it happen for you,” he said. “You have to be the one to work. You have to be willing to work hard.

You have to want it, because if you don’t want it, you’re not going to get it. The only reason I am where I am right now is because I wanted it, and I worked my ass off. No one’s going to hand you anything or give it all to you.”

These labs will be primarily used for the College of Medicine, when new staff is brought in for research.

“When we hire a new medical faculty, they bring the research with them,” Lawrence said.

There is a large variety of labs on campus ranging from academic labs in the Woldt Lower Level to the wet labs in Brooks Hall.

The labs meant for the College of Medicine will be wet labs equipped with sinks and vacuum hoods, Lawrence said.

high-top seating and smaller tables. Additionally, new flooring was added throughout the eating areas.

The area provides several private dining and meeting areas; and six separated spaces, providing a more “home –like” setting as opposed to a halltype dining room, Lawrence said. “(There are) six large TVs in place for entertainment, as well as an upgraded lighting system, which provides more control over the lighting and can be adjusted for different occasions and needs,” he said.

Several serving areas were

created, and food preparation stations were added, including the new Mongolian grill area where food is cooked in full view using the foods selected by the customer.

“There are still some minor punchlist items left to complete,” Lawrence said.

The project began on May 7, 2012, and, three months later, was completed on Aug. 14, 2012.

Lawrence said the final cost of the renovation is not in yet, but the estimated cost is below the $1.4-million budget.

Cyber switch Some students prefer a traditional class setting compared to online classes

By Emily Burden | Staff Reporter

With an increase in technology, online classes are an option, but some students can’t break away from the traditional aspects of classroom learning.

Associate Professor of journalism Tim Boudreau said online classes exclude certain things that are necessary for learning.

“I wouldn’t say (online classes) are harmful, except that there is a certain value in that face-to-face interaction, both with the structure and with your classmates,” he said.

“There is a dynamic interaction that is important for learning that you just miss out on with online classes.”

Going to class is one thing, but doing the

assignments is a different story. Online classes might not be the best choice if you aren’t selfmotivated.

“I took a seven-and-ahalf week online course,” Canton junior Mike Lintz said. “It was really hard for me to stay motivated.

I definitely lost that discipline I had early on; or (discipline) I thought I had.”

Illinois sophomore Meaghan Maloney said she liked learning the material and not having to attend class in person, but she won’t do it again.

“But after I completed (the course), I decided I wouldn’t want to take an online course because of how demanding it was,” she said. “If you didn’t check it one or two days, you could miss a lot.”

Some students know that it takes a lot of self-discipline and time to make it through an online class and pass it.

But others just don’t feel comfortable leaving the classroom and professor behind for an online course.

“I’ve definitely thought about taking an online class,” said Heather Beaudoin, an Escanaba sophomore. “Once I started really thinking about it, I wasn’t sure if it was the right choice for me, because I think I lack the self discipline that it does take.

Also, I don’t like the idea of not knowing the professor

and having to email them to communicate with them rather than discussing things face-to-face.”

Junior Bradley Sugg said he prefers traditional classes over online classes.

“I just like going to class and meeting students,” the Plymouth native said. “I feel more connected to the school walking to class everyday and attending class in general. With an online class, I wouldn’t even think I was in college.”

Jackson sophomore Alyssa Ehlmann agrees that physically being on campus and in the class is more beneficial.

“I feel like I learn better when I’m actually in class,” Ehlmann said. “Listening to your professor as they explain things in class is better for me than if I were to read a ton of information about something and trying to regurgitate that in some way.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Learning Roots RSO fights for higher education reform

By Alayna Smith Senior Reporter

With some voicing concern about higher education an registered student organization hopes to look to the future.

Learning Roots was formed last spring as a response to Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses by Richard Arum and Josipa Roska. The book addresses faults within higher education, particularly the decrease in academic rigor,

said Learning Roots Treasurer Tyler Wippel.

“We want students to embrace challenging academic work, not shy away from it,” the Lansing junior said. “That is, we want to ask them not, ‘How easy will the class be?’

But instead, ‘Will I gain valuable cognitive skills from this class?’”

Learning Roots Co-Founder Caitlin Homrich said the goal of the organization is to encourage students to claim their education and to generate higher standards.

“...[S]tudents wish to pay for a diploma and to skip a lot of learning along the way to achieving it,” the Port Austin junior said. “It’s common for students to feel any classes other than major classes — and even some of those — are irrelevant to them and useless, but if a bachelor’s diploma doesn’t represent general liberal arts education, development in critical thinking, reasoning and writing, as well as specialization in a field, what does it represent?”

Labeling the current gen-

eration of students as “21stcentury learners” or implying that today’s students learn very differently than those before them is a disservice to education, Homrich said.

“We feel (the label) allows educators to focus on catering to lazy students, rather than demanding their students to claim their education,” she said. “Professors who provoke engagement through class discussion and active learning are much more applauded by A RSO| 6

Local government and public schools might face a potential shift in payments from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Now, for the first time in 20 years, the Michigan governor’s office has been in negotiations with the Tribe regarding its bi-annual payments to local government and schools equaling two percent of revenue generated from Class III electronic games at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort, 6800 Soaring Eagle Blvd.

Frank Cloutier, director of public relations for the tribe, said the current compact agreement was entered into in 1993. The electronic games refer to slots and video card games.

Gov. Rick Snyder met with the tribal council on Aug. 23 after the state had pursued an interest in renegotiating the terms of an agreement that mandates the tribe to pay

money equaling two percent of its revenue from slots and electronic gaming.

“The tribe is currently negotiating its compact with the state of Michigan,” Cloutier said.

A new agreement that adjusts the percentage of revenue paid by the Tribe could have an effect on the entities in local government and public schools that receive them.

Cloutier said he could not reveal the nature of the negotiations.

Gov. Snyder is traveling in China and was unavailable for comment.

Cloutier said because the tribe and the state of Michigan are both sovereign states, one cannot tax the other.

“This is an agreement in lieu of tax revenue,” Cloutier said.

The deadline for applications to receive money in May 2013 is Tuesday. The deadline for applications to receive money next fall is March 31.

CMU’s one-year retention rate at 75.4 percent for 2012

By Catey Traylor University Editor and Jackson Seedott Staff Reporter

Editor’s note: This story has been rewritten from Wednesday’s story about retention for clarification.

Central Michigan University has a high retention rate this year despite the dwindling number of new freshmen and transfer students enrolled.

This year, the one-year retention rate was 75.4 percent, only a .4-percent decrease from last year’s rate. Additionally, the two-year retention rate was 67.3 percent, a 1.9-per-

cent decrease from last year.

According to a January Central Michigan Life article, the Office of Institutional Research and Planning reported CMU had a 90.78-percent retention rate of freshmen from first semester to second semester over the past five years, and that figure hasn’t dropped below 90 percent since 1996.

Karen Hutslar, registrar for CMU, said there are several different factors that influence students’ decisions to either stay at CMU or transfer to other institutions.

President George Ross, Provost Gary Shapiro get flu shots, spread flu season awareness

By Sean Bradley Senior Reporter

President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro were among a small group to get their respective flu shots Thursday at Foust Hall.

Shapiro said he gets his flu shot every fall and hasn’t gotten the flu each year he’s had the shot.

“If you don’t mind being sick, you don’t need to get a shot,” he said. “Why not get a flu shot?”

The Influenza Virus, commonly known as the flu, can be spread by coughing and sneezing, as well as touching a surface that is contaminated with the virus then rubbing or touching your eyes, nose or mouth. The virus can also be spread the day before sickness occurs and up to seven days after feeling sick.

Flu season lasts from Octo-

ber to May, and the peak for the season is usually in February. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, headaches and body aches among others.

Assistant Director of Business for Health Services Angela Smith said seeing the president and provost get a flu shot should show students to get a flu shot this fall and every year, too.

“It sends a message that their health is important,” she said. “If you’re ill, it makes it difficult to do your work and your studies.”

She said since many students are in close quarters, the virus is more easily spread.

Students can get vaccinated at Foust Hall, and the shot costs $30, which is covered by most health insurance policies, Smith said.

Smith said CMU Health

Services gave 753 flu vaccinations last year, and there have been spikes in the past in the number of students who get vaccinated such as during the H1N1 Virus scare.

“When there’s not a shortage (of the influenza vaccination), we see a steady number of people coming for shots,” she said.

Along with increased awareness of the influenza virus, the Health Services department is also offering meningitis vaccines. A student passed away earlier this year from a meningitis infection.

According to Health Services information, it is recommended that everyone have at least one shot before age 21. The ages most common for a meningitis infection is between 16 and 21. studentlife@cm-life.com

Glad the NFL refs are back As much as I love a Lambeau Leap or a Bill Belichick cut-off hoody, there’s one more tradition in the NFL that I’m relieved is coming back this week.

Ed Hochuli’s Hulk-like arms signaling a first-and-10.

As more details emerge about how the deal came about, I’m sure that it was Hochuli’s arms that carried those negotiations to an agreement.

If you don’t know (and you should), Hochuli is a 61-year-old Arizona lawyer and part-time NFL referee. He’s one of the real refs.

And you can bet he hit the weight room last off-season.

Hochuli has been NFL referee No. 85 since 1990. Maybe “Hochuli” in some other language translates to Ochocinco.

In just a few weeks, the general incompetence of replacement referees seriously threatened the popularity of this NFL season. A poll by ESPN revealed that more than 76 percent of fans said the replacements reffed poorly. At least half of NFL fans said they would have watched less football had the replacement refs lasted through the season.

The poll revealed that 78 percent of fans disagreed with the final call of the Packers and Seahawks game on Monday night, in which Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate was awarded a touchdown on the game’s final play, giving the Seahawks a 14-12 win.

“The last time I talked about this, I said that we laughed at it,” Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson said.

“Right now, Green Bay is not laughing.”

For fans that have neglected and questioned the importance of having quality referees, was your question answered?

Packers fans blitzed social media with rants and raves about calls in the game against the Seahawks that exposed the frustration and reluctance to having feeble replacement refs push forward a multi-billion dollar industry.

Avid NFL fans discussed the disaster of replacement referees’ bad calls as if it were something of a national disaster. Maybe it was, because President Barack Obama spoke about it.

“Anytime you have the President of the United States speak about something like that, then something needs to happen,” said Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush, referring to a tweet from President Barack Obama on Tuesday saying he hoped to see the lockout end.

It might not be something that threatens national security, but what does the new agreement between the NFL Referees Association and NFL mean?

If another bad call is made, at least it’s made professionally.

Not going anywhere

fter 27 years of involvement in student affairs on CMU’s campus, it seems natural that Anthony Voisin was named assistant vice president of student affairs Wednesday.

Voisin has been a residence hall director, assistant director of student life, director of student life and, most recently, served as interim dean of students.

He’s known on campus and has been around long enough to understand CMU and what it’s all about. In his new position, he will be in charge of the Counseling Center, the Office of Student Life, the Leadership Institute, Student Disability Services and the Volunteer Center. He will also give dayto-day guidance for residence halls.

Now that he’s been appointed, it’s time to discuss what he needs to do with the position.

During his candidate forum earlier this month, Voisin called on CMU to improve the student retention rate.

According to updated numbers, CMU’s one-year retention rate dropped 0.4 percent from last year and 1.9 percent for its two-year retention rate. Couple that with the university’s declining enrollment, especially among freshmen, and there’s some work to be done.

Making CMU a comfortable and inviting place to be as a student should be Voisin’s first and foremost priority.

When students enjoy their time here, they are more likely to succeed — and, more importantly — stay here. Voisin has the resume to back it up, and now that he’s been given the ‘green’ to map out goals and a vision for the office, it will be his time to shine.

At the same time, there are a few concerns we’d like to address.

First is the treatment of internation-

al students, something we wrote about extensively in CM Life earlier this semester. While we realize all international students might not experience some of the horror stories our reporter found, it is apparent that problems still arise. We would like to see Voisin step in and improve communications and organization within the International Affairs office. Students who come to the U.S. to study at CMU should not have right into nightmares right off the bat.

The second is improving relations with non-traditional students and those with disabilities. We’ve heard gripes from older students in the past about not feeling welcomed in the CMU campus culture. And while it probably happens, university officials, starting with those in the Student Affairs office, should be going out of their way to make sure they feel comfortable.

And Voisin, who’s approaching his third decade at CMU now, can be a difference-maker.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

Comments against Cain uncalled for The comments made by College Democrat president Alex Middlewood calling Herman Cain a “sexual predator” were extremely inappropriate.

Middlewood’s argument is that we should take a sexist approach that a man has to prove his innocence in a harassment suit.

Such an argument is

dangerous, and this is why American courts have an “innocent until proven guilty” philosophy.

Do I believe Cain is guilty?

No. Do I believe he is innocent?

No. I have not formed an opinion, because, like the rest of the general public, I do not have all the facts.

Ms. Middlewood should have taken the same stance and said that this is something for the courts to decide.

This is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue.

I said the same thing about allegations against Vice President Al Gore that I do about Cain.

A woman’s allegations against a man should be

taken 100% seriously, and they should be properly investigated; however, they should not be accepted as fact until a court of law has made a binding decision on the case.

[COMMENTS] Online Reader Comments on the Sept.24 “Study: States with right-to-work laws experience better economic growth“ story “Clearly, this paper wasn’t read by many. The paper states that it can not establish causality between the two. CMLife clearly didn’t read the paper and has now sparked nonsense.”

-John Roberts Online Reader Comments on the Sept. 18 “COLUMN: Football report card week two“ story “What the heck is this guy thinking? How can you give such high scores? How can you give the offense a C and B when they didn’t even score a TD or FG!?

The offense was shutout, hello! 3.3 yards per carry, I mean, come on man, get

real. The offense was terrible.The defense also gets a C and B even though they gave up 500 yards and 41 pts!? MSU ran for 173 yards, how can you give the Chips a B on rushing defense?!

The author of this article is delusional and should have actually watched the game.

Should be a D in every category. Also, this was not one of the most-anticipated events in CMU history, because anyone with half a brain knew CMU was going to get blown out. The athletic department just promoted it hugely and was super excited so they could actually fill some seats and make some money, but they knew it was going to be a terrible game. I and many other CMU alums were not super excited for this game.

Be an honest journalist and not a homer, dude. Go Chips!”

-CMU Alum 2008

“In terms of “anticipation,” yes, it was a wellhyped game. From the town, students’, etc. perspective, it was the most-anticipated game.

Everyone was excited to see MSU play an hour north. In terms of “most important, big games,” I still think the 2008 game against then-No. 11 Ball State (which CMU lost) was the game that meant the most recently at KellyShorts Stadium. Win, go on to the MAC Championship Game and potential AP ranking (which, of course, they did not do).”

-David Veselenak “Brandon, You are awfully generous with your grades for Chippewa Football. You must not watch much college football and do not have a clue of what a good football team looks like. If

you are correct, then we will finish with a winning record and might win six games, since you are giving out mostly C’s & B’s after two games. You are missing one important category...

Coaching! This deserves an F. So, if you do this grade sheet after another two or three games, make sure you include coaching.

When we will lose the next five games, I would like to see your next grade sheet include coaching. Will you be this generous and grade on the curve once we start the season one and five (or more like one and six)? Have you even looked how SE Missouri State has done since they lost to us?

Just last week, they were blowen out by Southern Ill. 35-14, so we didn’t beat much.”

Google This ...

It’s getting to the day and age where people need to realize that a majority of their technology questions can be routed to a search engine rather than putting them off on other people.

I’m writing this as an IT major and someone who takes care of people’s Mac and PC issues on a daily basis, about a quarter of which can be avoided if people took the incentive to do research before asking for my help.

I’ve lost count of the amount of times that people have asked me something that someone can pull up through a search engine using three words in under 15 seconds, yet they’re content on waiting 10 minutes for someone to search up the same things they have access to.

Just today, I had a co-worker ask me how to blend layers in Photoshop and, rather than doing the work for them, I told them what to search and sent them a direct link to four stepby-step tutorials on how to do it.

Learning to use search engines these days is an important life skill that has saved me a good amount of time and taught me a fair amount as well.

Case in point, you didn’t pay attention in class that one time when the professor was discussing the necessity of knowing Cisco routing commands, and you forgot to take notes? Off to a search engine and typing “Cisco routing commands” when you get back from class brings up Cisco’s website, listing the commands and two PDFs with full documentation on how to do it.

It’s worth noting that this doesn’t solve all issues. I’ve run into some roadblocks with calculus and a few journalism courses, but, more often than not, I’ve taken to this method rather than buying books for classes. Need be, if I can’t find it online, which is a rarity, then it’s likely they have a copy of the book in the library to check out.

Honestly, it’s getting to the point where I believe in 10 to 15 years we’ll see search engines overtaking higher education in some areas. When you can learn anything, not literally anything but really close, through searching the Internet and reading while following along, the only difference between Google and a college is a degree.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that as of right now using Bing, Google or Yahoo is going to solve all problems 100 percent of the time, but it will at least get you headed in the right direction.

Obama holds solid lead in key swing states

By John Irwin Elections Coordinator

President Barack Obama received some good news in multiple polls earlier this week showing his lead over Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney widening in key swing states.

Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania appear to be leaning in the president’s direction after a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, the New York Times and CBS News showed Obama with substantial leads in all three states. The poll, released Monday, found Obama up by 12 points, 54 percent to 42 percent, in Pennsylvania, 10 points in Ohio, 53 percent to 43 percent, and nine points in Florida, 53 percent to 44 percent.

Those states are crucial to both campaigns. If Obama was to win just those three states, he would be reelected even if he lost every other swing state. Meanwhile, Florida and Ohio are widely considered must-win states for Romney since his path to victory in the Electoral Col-

Similar standards at community colleges are particularly essential with so many students starting there before transferring to a university.

The reforms sought by the organization are applicable across all higher educational institutions, Wippel said.

“I think trade and vocational schools are a great option for a lot of people willing to learn: it’s not about prestige, it’s about passion,” Wippel

lege is narrow if he loses even one of them.

The results of the Quinnipiac poll were supported by other recent polls. A Washington Post poll of Ohio voters released Sunday found Obama up by eight points, 52 percent to 44 percent. That same poll also found Obama ahead in Florida but by a smaller margin: 51 percent to 47 percent.

No Republican has won the White House without Ohio, and no Republican since Calvin Coolidge in 1924 has won without Florida.

A Franklin and Marshall College poll of Pennsylvania voters released Sunday has Obama ahead in Pennsylvania by a 52 percent to 43-percent margin.

Romney dismissed the polls in an interview with ABC News Wednesday, saying it is too early to be paying too much attention to polling data.

“I’m tied in the national polls, both Gallup and Rasmussen have the numbers at even,” Romney said. “State by state, you’ve got some advertising going on from the Obama people, which expresses their views on my positions, which frankly I think are inaccurate, and in some cases, dishonest.”

While Gallup’s national tracking poll has had Obama and Romney in a relatively close race for much of the election season, Wednesday’s tracking poll had Obama ahead by six points, 50 percent to 44 percent.

Real Clear Politics’ state polling averages finds Obama ahead in every one of its listed toss-up states. It recently moved Ohio into Obama’s column, as well, meaning Obama would only have to win one other toss-up state in order to be re-elected. metro@cm-life.com

said. “In fact, sometimes we see a reversal to common misconceptions: some trade schools might be more rigorous but more applicable than university classes.”

Reformation of current grading practices is an important aspect of creating a more rigorous education, Wippel said. Less than optimal work should be given an opportunity for revision, meaning there will be higher standards but not a more difficult grading scale.

“If we want a competent, confident work force, it does not make sense to lower that work force’s GPA a point and call it a day,” he said By engaging students and

reorienting educator and learner goals toward education, the suggested reforms are meant to spark individual interest in learning at CMU, Homrich said.

“I think everyone knows the ‘ah-hah’ moment — that moment when you actually learn something new and understand it, when everything else falls into place around it.

It’s fun to experience, and it’s rewarding,” Homrich said.

“Students would be having a lot more of these ‘ah-hah’ moments if they were actually expected to learn, had courses that facilitated this and were held to it.”

crucial in influencing one’s decision to stay at any university,” Hutslar said. “There is a lot of research that has been done, and generally you will find that students who feel connected with their university through an organization or other involve-

ment are more likely to stay until graduation.”

CMU currently has 27,693 students enrolled, a number that has decreased 2.2 percent from last year.

As reported by Central Michigan Life earlier this month, Steven Johnson, vice president for enrollment and student services, said in a news release the decline in enrollment was expected and reflected Michigan’s shrinking high school graduation classes.

Johnson is leading an effort to establish an “aggressive and tactical enrollment plan” in

TRIBE | CONTINUED FROM 3 The Tribe distributed checks May 30 to Isabella County, the City of Mount Pleasant and to four public school systems and seven townships and a special education program. The allocations totaled $2,196,030.04.

That figure is equal to two percent of $109,801,502, generated from Sept. 2011 to March 31 of this year.

Cloutier said he would not discuss financial information, adhering to a Saginaw Chippewa tribe policy about protecting their proprietary information.

“The tribe was the one that suggested the two-percent payment,” Cloutier said. “The county (of Isabella) would totally disagree with that. The idea of it was to alleviate the footprint of the financial success of our gaming operations.”

The Tribe appropriated $371,580.94 to Isabella County in May. In total, the Tribe paid $1,427,419.53 to local government. The tribe also provided $768,610.51 to four school districts including Beal City, Chippewa Hills, Mount Pleasant and Shepherd.

If the contract negotiations lead to a decrease in the percentage of revenue the Tribe pays out, it could lead to a dramatic impact in the Mount Pleasant Public School District, said superintendent Michael Pung.

“It’d be a huge impact, but we’ve been getting — and it

order to bring more students to CMU. While Michigan’s shrinking high school graduation class sizes definitely play a role in the decline in overall loss in higher education enrollment, one student seemed to think other factors are also involved.

Jessica Morey, a sophomore at Olivet Nazarene University, a private university near Chicago, chose to attend college out of state due to competitive scholarship offers that ONU had to offer. The Flint native said Michigan’s tuition rates played the most important role in her decision to attend school out of state.

“I was originally going to attend Saginaw Valley State

University, because it was close to home,” Morey said. “However, tuition at ONU is $35,000 a year, but with scholarships and grants, I pay a little under $5,000 per year to attend.”

Morey said she thought competitive scholarships and grants that many smaller private schools offer play a role in the decline in community college enrollment in Michigan.

CMU has especially experienced the backlash of these declining enrollment numbers, a new and equally bizarre reality from just two years ago in which residence halls usually suited for four students would be home to five.

varies for year-to-year — $1.5 million to $2 million a year for several years,” Pung said.

Pung said the Mount Pleasant School District receives $26 million per year from state appropriations and grants. About $7,000 is appropriated per pupil. The difference between that and the payment from the tribe is that the state appropriations are designated for use upon receiving the money. The school district has more freedom about re-purposing money provided by the Tribe.

Addie Pritchard, senior executive assistant to city

manager Kathie Grinzinger, said Grinzinger was not aware of the negotiations and had no information to provide Central Michigan Life about the potential impact that a decrease in payments could have on the city.

Bill Mrdeza, community services and community development director, said he did not want to comment.

“I really can’t comment on that,” Mrdeza said. “Anything on that would be purely speculation.”

Northern Illinois seeks redemption on Saturday

Women’s soccer looking to beat Western

By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter

Northern Illinois head coach Dave Doeren sat at the Mid-American Conference Media Day in July and talked about how badly he wants to beat Central Michigan after losing to them last year.

He wants redemption against CMU (2-1) at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in DeKalb, Ill., where the Huskies (3-1) are on a 17-game home win streak.

“We really look forward to playing (CMU) after they beat us,” Doeren said before NIU had played a game this season. “We needed to lose a game, it was a reality check.

But now, that is a game we are looking forward to.”

The Chippewas won 48-41 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium last season. NIU went on to win its next nine games, including the MAC Championship Game and the GoDaddy.com Bowl game.

“Last year, they beat us,” Doeren said. “It is one of those games our kids would love to play over; we weren’t focused in that football game.”

It took career days from several CMU players to get the win. Quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for a careerhigh four touchdowns and was seven yards shy of his career-high of 394. Former running back Paris Cotton had more than 100 rushing and receiving yards, and safety Jahleel Addae had a career-high 18 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

Even though Doeren said NIU is gunning for CMU, it is not one-sided.

“We’ve got them targeted, too,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said. “They are the MAC Champions. They’ve got a target on their back when they play every week.

It is a huge game; we’re looking forward to going there.”

It will be senior wide receiver Cody Wilson’s fourth time playing NIU; he is 2-1 against the Huskies.

“In the MAC, NIU every year has been one of those top teams,” he said.

“It is a big game for Cody Wilson us starting conference play with a very good MAC team. I think a lot of polls picked them to win the MAC. We’ll be ready to go – we better be ready to go, or it’s going to be a long one.”

Clean Sweep

Volleyball beats Eastern Michigan, will play Kent State Saturday

By Kris Lodes | Staff Reporter

Check out a photo gallery of last night’s game on cm-life.com The women’s volleyball team swept Eastern Michigan Thursday continuing its momentum after beating Western Michigan on Saturday.

Offensively, junior middle blocker Danielle Gotham had 10 kills for Central Michigan Thursday with a consistent .420 hitting percentage. Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week, sophomore outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre, had a team-leading 13 kills on the night.

Senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude and freshman middle blocker Angelique White each tallied nine kills.

“The passing tonight was good, and Kelly (Maxwell) made outstanding choices, which made each hitter available,” Gotham said.

MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week, junior libero Jenna Coates, continued her dominance with a team-leading 16 digs.

Dulude had 11 throughout the match, while McIntyre had eight.

“We’re really flowing

well and moving well (on defense),” head coach Erik Olson said. “Jenna is doing a great job of reading, and that’s something we’ve been missing.”

The Chippewas recorded six aces Thursday – five of which came in the first two sets to help CMU take a 2-0 advantage at the intermission, before taking set three to end the night.

“We’ve been practicing tough serving at the right time,” Gotham said. “I think our team did a very good job on that.”

McIntyre recorded an ace

in the opening set to tie the game at 23-23 and another to win the set 25-23. Dulude also added an ace in the first set.

Senior defensive specialist Samantha Brawley broke a tie late in set two with an ace of her own before Maxwell gave the Chippewas a 21-18

lead with the fifth ace of the night. Coates added one of her own early in the first set. “(McIntyre) has just found it,” Olson said. “She found it a few matches ago and is doing a great job.”

Heartbreaking.

That’s the word Meghan Caldwell used to describe last year’s loss to Western Michigan in the women’s soccer semifinal game of the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

“It was especially tough for our seniors, because they worked so hard for us,” the junior defender said.

Central Michigan’s season was ended, and its hopes of a third consecutive MAC championship were dashed by a lone goal in overtime by Bronco forward Anina Cicerone last November.

Less than a year later, the Chippewas will seek redemption today when they take on Cicerone and her Broncos for the first time since the devastating loss. The game is scheduled for 4 p.m. in Kalamazoo.

“I know we’re a better team now,” Caldwell said.

Head coach Neil Stafford said his team beat themselves in the semi-final game last season.

“We didn’t impose our will and our abilities,” he said. “What many people didn’t know was that a lot of the team was coming off the flu and (Laura) Twidle was just coming back, so it was difficult to get into a rhythm.

I think we played fearful instead of trying to go out there and win.”

This time around, the Chippewas are prepared, and losing is not an option, Caldwell said.

Freshman defender Emily Basten said the upperclassmen have made it clear how important the game is.

“There’s been an added intensity and excitement at practice this week,” Basten said. “I think all the freshmen want to get down there and see what that excitement of playing is like.”

Stafford said the team needs to have more offensive opportunities and better ball position than they did the last time they faced WMU. The semifinal game was heavily played in the middle and defensive thirds of the field with little action in the offensive third, Stafford said.

“We have to have the ball in certain parts of the field or we’re screwed,” he said.

Caldwell said she’s confident in her team’s abilities.

“If the midfielders stay organized, and we keep the ball in front of us, I think we can definitely win,” she said.

Field hockey goalie Sadie Reynolds expected to start Saturday in ‘must-win’ game

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Field hockey coach Cristy Freese used the words “mustwin” to describe the team’s second conference game at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Ball State.

Central Michigan lost its first conference match against Miami (Ohio) last weekend 4-1.

“Is Ball State a must-win game? Absolutely,” Freese said. “One thing is, win or lose against Miami, we would still have to go into this game and win it.”

The Chippewas also play Pacific University at noon Sunday in East Lansing.

While MU has been among the upper echelon in the MidAmerican Conference most years, BSU has been at the

bottom of the standings.

The Cardinals haven’t done much better this year, tallying a 2-7 record with a loss in their only conference game to another perennial conference bottom-dweller in Missouri State.

“The focus for our team has to be on passing and defending and putting our goalkeeper in the best position to be successful,” Freese said. “If we do those things, the best team will win the game.”

Sophomore Tori Widrick leads the Cardinals with four goals.

“Ball State is a hungry team,” Freese said. “They’re aggressive, and they’re a team that can be dangerous offensively.”

Chippewa sophomore Jor-

dyn Brengosz dons a bandage on her forehead after getting hit with a stick in their first conference game.

She hopes the second will halt the five-game losing streak and puts CMU at .500 in the MAC. “We want that MAC win, which will lead us going forward toward our goal of getting a MAC Championship,” Brengosz said. “We just have to capitalize in the circle and improve our play on the defensive end.”

The Pacific Tigers are a rare CMU opponent. The Chippewas have a 1-1 record against them, all-time.

It was convenient to add the team, located in California, because it is traveling to East Lansing to also match up against Michigan State

and Michigan.

Pacific has a multi-dimensional player in Emily Tregoning, who has three goals, as well as four assists this season.

GOALKEEPERS

Freshman goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds made six saves and allowed four goals in her first start against Iowa Sunday.

Freese said Tuesday that Reynolds will likely start again this weekend as a result of senior goalkeeper Anastasia Netto still being out with an illness.

“Sadie is a little bit more of an imposing figure; a little taller and a little bigger,” Freese said. “But what you’re giving up is a lot of

Staff predictions: Football week five

CONTINUED FROM 7

The Central Michigan Life football reporters weigh in on their expectations for this week’s matchup between the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-1) and Northern Illinois Huskies (3-1) Saturday at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, Ill.

RYAN ZUKE:

Last week’s win at Iowa was monumental for CMU, but it will be faced with maybe an even tougher challenge this week. Northern Illinois is 3-1 with its only loss coming to Iowa. The reigning MAC West champions have won 17 straight at home and feature the top passing defense in the MAC. And let’s not forget, they will be looking for revenge after the Chippewas handed them their only conference loss a season ago. CMU will keep it close, but NIU will prevail.

Prediction: CMU 24, NIU 34

MATT THOMPSON:

The Northern Illinois offense is potent, and it showed with 17 fourth-quarter points to beat Kansas last week. CMU’s Ryan Radcliff was poised, accurate and turnover-free last week at Iowa. I think for the second consecutive season, it will be very high scoring. NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch has turned the ball over, and the CMU defense has been more aggressive with blitzes and playing a man coverage behind it. Two late turnovers from Lynch will allow CMU to break the 17-game home win streak.

Prediction: CMU 45, NIU 41

Like CMU, the Huskies are coming off a big win over a major conference team. NIU needed to score 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat the Kansas Jayhawks 30-23 Saturday.

In the past two seasons, NIU has only lost one MAC

game each year. Last year, that loss was at the hands of CMU, and in 2010, it was to Miami (Ohio) in the MAC Championship game.

“We were the last team to beat them in the MAC,” Radcliff sad. “That one blemish from last year — they will definitely try to

SOCCER |

The Chippewas carry a 2-0 MAC record into the weekend, after beating Kent State and Ohio last weekend at home.

“It’s always good to have momentum going into some games,” Stafford said.

“I don’t know if Western (Michigan) is our soccer rival because everyone wants to beat Central (Michigan). Either way, it’s going to be a fight on Friday.”

Despite having a win-

CONTINUED FROM 7 Following the first of four consecutive road games Saturday, CMU will play Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m. Sunday in Ypsilanti. Last year, the Chippewas won their last regular season game 1-0 against EMU before entering the MAC tournament as the No. 2 seed.

BRANDON CHAMPION:

As big as last week’s win in Iowa City was for the Chippewas, this weekend’s game against Northern Illinois is probably bigger. The conference opener for both teams will most likely be a high-scoring game. The Chippewas must contain NIU junior quarterback Jordan Lynch, who is in the top-10 in the conference in rushing and passing. The Huskies also boast the top pass defense in the MAC, which means junior running back Zurlon Tipton and the Chippewa offensive line must have a big game. I think the Chippewas will battle but lose a close one on the road in a barn burner.

Prediction: CMU 28, NIU 35

By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter

Quarterback Jordan Lynch has impressed in his first season as starter, leading the Huskies in passing and rushing yards. CMU has faced some tough backs this season in Le’Veon Bell and Mark Weisman, but will have to focus more on a strong passer this week. NIU has a strong pass defense but has allowed more than 180 rush yards to all three FBS teams it’s seen this season. Expect Zurlon Tipton and Anthony Garland to have big days and last week’s success to calm quarterback Ryan Radcliff.

Prediction: CMU 34, NIU 31

VOLLEYBALL |

Krupa leads KSU with .50 aces per set.

“They’ve got an outside that’s pretty athletic,” Olson said. “We’ve got to continue to play point-for-point and not relax.”

Krupa ranks tenth in the MAC with a .300 hitting percentage, while her teammate, sophomore middle blocker Liz Reikow, is just a step ahead of her at No. 9 with a .320 percentage.

“Sometimes our transition forgets to play some balls, so we have to avoid those little breaks and play till the whistle blows,” Gotham said.

CONTINUED FROM 7 at the hands of Ohio. The sweep marks the sixth in the last seven matches for KSU. “They’re a team trying to find their identity,” Olson said. “Kent State is a tough place to play on the road, and we haven’t been on the road in awhile.”

Despite the rough start, the Golden Flashes as a team ranked third in the MAC in service aces per set with 1.38 prior to their match with the Bobcats. Senior middle blocker Kathy

JUSTIN HICKS:

CMU improved to 8-6 this season, including 2-1 in conference play.

[SPORTS]

Chandler Harnish ran the Northern Illinois offense for the past four years.

He threw for 68 touchdown passes and 8,944 yards while running for 24 scores and 2,983 yards during his career with the Huskies. But he graduated last year, passing the torch to junior quarterback Jordan Lynch.

Lynch has embraced the dual-threat quarterback system at NIU. In his first four games, he has rushed for more than 100 yards three times and passed for more than 200 in all but one game.

“Their QB is playing well; they have good offensive skill guys,” Central Michigan head coach Dan Enos said. “We have to take what they do and slow them down. We’re never going to be able to stop what they do. (We have to) slow them down and tackle well.

We need team defense and have to be disciplined.”

CMU will travel to DeKalb, Ill. to take on NIU at 3:30 p.m. on

Saturday at Huskie Stadium.

While Lynch is moving the ball for the NIU offense, senior defensive end Sean Progar is leading the defense.

Last season, he was voted second-team All-Mid-American Conference with 52 tackles and 5.5 sacks. This season, he has 19 tackles and one sack for a loss of 12 yards.

“The defense plays fast,” Enos said. “Progar: he returns.

He is an all-league guy and one of the better defensive lineman you see in our league.”

The Huskies, defense is ranked best in the MAC against the pass, allowing 142.5 yards per game in the air. That doesn’t worry Enos, who pointed out the offenses NIU has played have tried to run more than throw. Army was only 1-for-3 passing for eight yards.

Both Enos and senior wide receiver Cody Wilson said NIU has defensive speed.

“It’s NIU for the fourth time (for me), and they are a really tough team ... they play fast,” Wilson said. “We gotta be ready to go. They have a quick defense that moves around really well.”

NIU head coach Dave Doeren said he was impressed last week with his team’s resilience. NIU trailed in the fourth quarter and needed a come-from-behind win to beat Kansas and keep alive its 17-game home win streak.

Lynch bounced back in the fourth quarter after he threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown to give Kansas a 10-point lead. The junior threw a 65-yard touchdown pass to follow, cutting the lead back down to three.

“It was a good game of perseverance,” Doeren said. “The best part of the game was that guys made mistakes in the game and then made plays to win at the end. There was never any panic from anybody.” sports@cm-life.com
