Police: Tsatsos case still ‘very solvable;’ reward increased

By Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

A Crime Stoppers reward offered for information about the death of Macomb freshman Ryan Tsatsos has been increased to $5,000.

Tsatsos was killed by a hit and run driver just after midnight on Crawford Road in Union Township. The reward was initially $2,500. It was increased last week.

The driver has not been found. A Crime Stoppers representative said the organization has received “quite a few” tips that were forwarded to the Michigan State Police. Since November, the department has received 54 tips, kept in an overly-full binder, which are all being investigated, said Sgt. Gary Green.

The most recent tip was reported Wednesday.

A Central Michigan University student was reported to have bought a new car just after Tsatsos’ death. Green said the student’s original car is now in Clinton Township, and will be followed up on.

mined the car is a dark, metallic blue, likely with damage to the passenger side. This was based on remnants of paint found on Tsatsos’ body. Police believe the car is a sedan. Green said the crime lab has been actively investigating the paint.

“We have sample colors of the car — squares from the lab that are very close in color,” Green said.

Police also have a list of blue vehicles reported in crashes around the time of Tsatsos’

death. Coordinating with manufacturers, they are investigating many similar paint colors and types of paint, Green said.

“This is still very solvable,” Green said. “If we are able to find a vehicle, the uniqueness of the paint will tell us it belongs to this car. The increase in reward probably makes someone thinking about reporting more motivated.

It’s unfortunate that that tells you something

about the human condition, but it’s reality.”

The night of his death, Tsatsos was on his way back to Merrill Hall with a group of friends after a Halloween party at Deerfield Village. The group was walking north on Crawford Road, an area in Union Township which is poorly lit and has no sidewalks. He was wearing black shorts and a red blazer when he was struck and killed.

Athletics Director withholds cause of Olson suspension

By Andrew Surma Assistant Sports Editor @andrew_surma | sports@cm-life.c om

With the hiring of Mike Gawlik, Central Michigan volleyball has its new head coach.

One question is left unanswered: Why was former Head Coach Erik Olson suspended?

Olson was put on paid administrative leave Oct. 6 after a Faculty Personnel Services investigation was launched on Sept. 23. The Faculty Association received a complaint that Olson “engaged in unprofessional behavior toward the athletes.”

The nature of that complaint was never made public.

The investigation was launched to determine if Olson violated CMU’s Nondiscrimination Policy. He resigned on Dec. 31. The university ended the investigation.

There is no final report regarding what Olson was accused of.

Director of Athletics Dave Heeke told Central Michigan Life on Friday that he has a “personal policy” to keep professional matters private.

“We just don’t talk about personnel issues,” Heeke said. “There were issues that came to our attention — that were brought to our attention — that were shared with the appropriate people on campus and within the administration and then it was deemed an investigation — a review of the program — should take place.”

Athletics Director of Communication Rob Wyman said the silence from the department is a matter of privacy.

“Obviously you want to balance that with being transparent,” Whyman said. “There is also protecting people through the process and giving them the privacy they deserve.”

Now that the process is over, and Olson is no longer employed by the university, the department still refuses to explain what Olson was being investigated for.

Six student-athletes from the volleyball team transferred since 2014.

Heeke said student-athletes are made aware they can file a complaint internally — something that often occurs in the student-athletes’ academic advising area.

Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com y FEB. 4, 2016 conversation to improve coaches’ performances.

Heeke declined to say if complaints were filed against Olson.

“I’m not going to specifically speak to (Olson’s) case,” Heeke said. “I will say that we have a number of channels available to studentathletes to share their feelings that can be evaluated in a very professional and appropriate manner and then routed to the appropriate individuals on campus.”

According to the internal investigation notice sent to Olson on Sept. 23, if the allegations against him were true, he could have been in violation of CMU’s Nondiscrimination Policy.

That policy states “even if not illegal, acts are prohibited if they discriminate against any university community member(s) through inappropriate limitation of access to, or participation in, educational, employment, athletic, social, cultural, or other university activities on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, gender identity/gender expression, genetic information, height, marital status, national origin, political persuasion, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status or weight.”

In an Oct. 13 email, Heeke told Olson’s remaining coaching staff, Theresa Beeckman and Adam Rollman and another person whose

name was redacted, to not restrict players’ time with family members as the team traveled to Northern Illinois and Western Michigan Sep. 25 and 26.

“I do not think it is appropriate to severely restrict the time available to share with family and friends. If restricting time together has occurred in the past, I ask that you adjust the team schedules accordingly for the remainder of the season,” Heeke said in the email.

Heeke said Friday that he would not comment on whether Olson’s restrictions breached the Nondiscrimination Policy, but said they were not the reason for launching the investigation.

Heeke declined to answer exactly what actions initiated the investigation into Olson’s behavior.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about (personnel issues). That’s where we’ve been very consistent. We’re about looking to the future and making our program the best it can possibly be,” Heeke said. “Coach Olson decided to resign ultimately. He did not feel that he should, or wanted to, continue to serve as the head volleyball coach here, that’s how the entire episode concluded — at his request to resign. At that point, I moved forward to take and assess

what our program has been like, where we can improve and what environment we want for those student athletes. I’m really focused going

that way versus talking about the past.”

When asked if the CMU community deserves to know the truth about what transpired with Olson, Heeke said “I think that’s for the public and journalists to determine. They can opine on that how they wish. I know we’ve conducted our business in a very professional and appropriate manner.”

Because the situation is a personnel issue involving a member of a collective bargaining unit, Heeke said, it must be handled according to contractual protocol.

Faculty Association President David Jesuit said any information about restricting the discussion of peronnel files would be included in Article 11 of the agreement with the university. There is no such reference made in the agreement.

“He’s represented by a bargaining unit and I think any time you are having conversations about personnel issues, those are very sensitive,” Heeke said. “There are a number of pieces to that contract that need to be followed accordingly. Fundamentally, I don’t think its appropriate to talk about personnel issues.

Secondly, there are a number of contractual pieces to that. If information is to be released, it be released in accordance to those contractual arrangements.”

Student civil rights leaders celebrate black culture to unify campus community

By Kate Carlson | News Editor @k8erzz | news@cm-life.com

J

essica Predium’s sense of pride in her identity as an African-American was instilled in her by both her parents, but mainly by

her father who grew up in the south.

“He knows what it’s like to feel like you’re nothing,” said the Canton junior.

Though Predium grew up in a vastly different America than her father, she and other black leaders at CMU are fueled by a desire to recognize a culture that still faces discrimination today.

This year, there are more student organizations involved with programming black history events than ever before. There is an event almost every day in February, with 18 remaining. Events range from Keynote Speaker Julien Gordon at 7 p.m. on Feb. 15 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda, to Black History Month Family Feud at 7 p.m. in the Park Library Auditorium.

Meaning behind the month Some at Central Michigan University don’t understand why one month out of the year is dedicated to reflecting on black history.

A month is taken to learn about members of the African-American community who didn’t receive the recognition they deserved in their lifetime, and to better understand the struggles of the oppressed minority group and discrimination that still plagues the black community.

Black history has never been taught adequately or accurately in school, said Political Science and Public Administration, Professor Joyce Baugh.

“People want to say we’re in a post-racial society because we elected a black guy for president,” Baugh said. “Think about it this way: black history is American history. The history of black people in this country is tied into the history of everybody else in this country.”

Without learning a framework of racial injustices that African-Americans faced in the past, Baugh said it is impossible to relate to what they are facing now. This is why Black History Month is important, she said; these lessons would not be taught otherwise.

Predium said one of the reasons Black History Month is necessary is because it gives African-Americans a sense of identity.

“There was a time when black history wasn’t something that was really talked about. African-Americans had no real sense of identity within America,”

Predium said. “We were kind of just always the ‘other.’”

President of Sophisticated Women of Color Aalaya Byrd, learned about racism at CMU from hearing about her mother’s experience as a student in the 80s.

“She was a broadcast minor,” the Detroit junior said.

“Her biggest issue was that a lot of the equipment they wouldn’t let her touch because she was black.”

Byrd experiences racism at CMU as well, she said, but it’s less overt.

“It’s subtle things where I can’t really get upset about it,” she said. “I always feel like my opinion isn’t good enough.”

She remembered when she was in a science class her

freshman year and none of her group members listened to her even though all of the answers Byrd gave were correct. “(I feel like I) have to prove myself in class. I automatically think people assume I’m loud, ‘ghetto’ or not smart,” Byrd said. “I don’t live that stereotype.”

Modern Civil Rights With the Black Lives Matter movement gaining momentum, some feel America is going through a resurgence of activism similar to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s.

“I think it’s sad to say we are in a civil rights era, but I think it never died,” said Angela Hill, president of the CMU NAACP chapter.

Hill said she thinks some of the white students on campus would never go to an NAACP event or any event that revolves around black minorities.

“We are moving forward. However, we still are stuck with the ‘slave mentality’ that we were supposed to be broken of (153) of years ago,” Byrd said.

She isn’t literally talking about slaves, but rather how minorities are pit against each other within their own races or groups. Today, Byrd says she still sees some of this same mentality. Light skin and dark skin, short and tall; people are stereotyped within races.

“History repeats itself and right now everyone is fighting for their rights and fighting for their life. Everyone thinks we’re equal and we’re not,” she said. “People still don’t look at (black people) the same way.”

The fight for civil rights among black students has been going on all their lives, President of African Student Society Chelsea Bowens said. “It’s just more visible now.”

“Now (fighting for civil rights is) kind of exploding because of the large number of black lives that are being disrespected,” she said.

Social media sometimes makes racism easier to see, Bowens said. People are using that as fuel to gain momentum to build a second civil rights movement.

“I’ve heard the millennial (generation) is going to be the generation to change everything, but if people continue to blind themselves — the information is there but if they don’t want to see it — they’re not going to,” Bowens said.

Diversity at CMU Minority enrollment at CMU has increased by 3.8 percent since 2014 and 18 percent during the past five years. There were 5,239 students who are part of a minority group enrolled last semester out of 26,968 students total. w History | 14

Chromeo announced as spring semester musical act

By Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com

FEBRUARY

5-7 & 11-14

MT. PLEASANT MI FILM SCHEDULE AT

WWW.CMIFF.COM

Program Board has announced the funk/electronic dance music (EDM) group Chromeo, with special guest Slaptop, as the main musical act for the spring semester.

This will be the first EDM group to come to Central Michigan University in 10 years.

The concert will start at 8 p.m.

Feb. 26 in Finch Fieldhouse. Tickets are $11 for students and $22 for the public. It is all general admission. Tickets have been on sale since Jan. 25 and are available for purchase through Ticket Central.

“Since we didn’t have a concert last semester (Program Board) was looking to come back in the spring and do something pretty cool for students,” said Program Board President Kaylee Bloom. “We went forward with Chromeo because they’re EDM, but they’re more of a funk/EDM which a lot of people can identify with.”

Chromeo, a two person ensemble that hails from Montreal, is comprised of David “Dave 1” Macklovitch and Patrick “P-Thugg” Gemayel. They have released four studio albums since its creation in 2002, and has partnered with myriad of different artists on their songs, including Solange Knowles and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig.

The last time Finch Fieldhouse was used as a concert venue was two year ago, said Director of Student Activities and Involvement Damon Brown.

“Finch (Fieldhouse) is really the best venue for these types of mid-sized shows,” he said. “When you look at McGuirk (Arena), that venue can hold about 4,500 people, and when you look at the estimated guess number of people who (Program Board) thinks will attend the show, we don’t think that number will reach the size of

what (McGuirk) can hold.”

The decision to choose Chromeo came after students expressed in a fall 2014 survey a want to see more EDM groups be brought to CMU, Bloom said. She believes Chromeo provides a “happy medium” for students both into electronic music and not.

“We hope (Chromeo) can bridge the genre gaps for students,” she said. “We feel that (the group) will be able to please a lot of different students’ music taste.”

Overall expense for the show will not be determined until the contract is finalized, which is expected to happen in two weeks, Brown said.

Though pleased with Program Board’s turn towards the EDM genre, many students admit they haven’t heard of the

group Chromeo.

“Even though I haven’t heard about (Chromeo) I would definitely love to see (Program Board) bring more EDM to campus,” Grand Rapids senior Christa Rwakayija. “If I’ve never heard of (an artist) then I usually Youtube them to see if I like (their sound).

But whether or not I’ll see them depends on if I know the band rather than if I know the genre.”

Bloom remains optimistic the show will attract a diverse crowd.

“I think this show will please a lot of people who have been critical of Program Board,” Bloom said.

“This is a great opportunity for us to break into a different genre that we haven’t necessarily touched at all, and to foster that dance vibe students of any background can come and appreciate.”

Mary Lewandowski | Staff Photographer The former Student Book Exchange building on Bellows Street on Feb. 3.

Student Book Exchange storefront still for sale

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter @Brianne_esque | news@cm-life.com

The Student Book Exchange, also known as SBX, received 37 calls requesting location information since closing its doors in July of 2014.

Many callers are interested in turning the building into a mixed retailed store with a second story for student housing, said real estate agent for the property Jim Engler.

“The bottom floor would be a retail store and the second floor could be a zoning issue that would have to be thought through,” Engler said.

The SBX building doesn’t have a second story. If a second story was built for student housing purposes, parking might be a problem because there are not many parking spots available, Engler said.

The store, located on 209 Bellows Street, was open for 50 years before closing. SBX closed its doors because it was struggling to compete with other bookstores in a stagnant economy,

The main thing is that we want to see the site utilized and not just sit vacant Jacob Kain, Mount Pleasant city planner

especially with students often purchasing textbooks online, said a past SBX employee.

A fire sprinkler system would also need to be added, which Engler said could be an expensive project.

Despite being unaware of any upcoming projects on the property, the city would like to see the site activated, said Jacob Kain, Mount Pleasant city planner.

If a person wanted to reconstruct or renovate the location, the city would be interested to see “what potential they see there,” said Kain.

“We would be interested in moving something forward. The

main thing is that we want to see the site utilized and not just sit vacant,” he said. “We don’t like to see empty storefronts. From the city perspective, we’d like to see activity there, whether it’s commercial or office use.”

While there are no specific affects on the value of the neighborhood because of a vacant store front, Kain said it might imply that the business didn’t succeed or if it has tenets, it isn’t getting a revenue stream anymore.

If SBX is bought, the new owner would need to decide whether to keep Kaya Coffeehouse in the same location.

“The zone is a C-1, so anything that is allowed in that district is allowed to take (Kaya Coffee House’s) place there,” Kain said. “C-1 allows for office usage, so any professional office usage would be allowed personal establishment services.”

Broomfield Township junior Emma Lazarus said she’d like to see a bookstore that mimics a Barnes and Noble, “but less corporate and more thrifty.”

Science Science Fiction vs.

When choosing your candidate, we urge you to ignore climate change deniers

M

onday’s presidential Iowa caucuses brought several key political issues to mind.

One issue should stand out to young voters more than any other. The Republican candidates’ collective rhetoric regarding climate change is absurd.

Sen. Ted Cruz, the winner of Monday’s caucuses, went on a national radio show late last year, saying: “Any good scientist is a skeptic; if he’s not, he or she should not be a scientist. But yet the language of the global warming alarmists, ‘denier’ is the language of religion, it’s heretic, you are a blasphemer.”

Sen. Jim Inhofe, who Huffington Post called “the senates’ biggest climate change denier,” recently endorsed another leading GOP presidential candidate, Marco Rubio.

With the earth’s temperature rising, we as a species have no time for agenda-driven political false advertising on global warming.

Global warming is real. It is time highprofile politicians stop denying it and aligning themselves with powerful business executives who do.

Many Republicans have downplayed and in some cases openly rejected the idea climate change exists.

We remind young voters to ignore propaganda and consider the facts.

The majority of scientists support the evidence behind mankind’s impact on climate change. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, 97 percent of industry professionals agree global climate change is occurring.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the decade from 2000 to 2010 was the warmest on record, and 2010 was tied with 2005 as the warmest year on record.

Here in Michigan, we are in the midst of a warmerthan-usual winter. That, in and of itself, is not proof of climate change. Nor is six inches of snow on the

ground evidence climate change is made up.

During his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama asked Americans to “call out” climate change deniers.

We are following his suggestion and asking you to join us.

The international community clearly thinks climate change needs to be dealt with.

Late last year, 195 nations gathered in Paris to reach an agreement, pledging to keep worldwide emissions at a safe level.

America should be leading the conversation on sustainability. Instead, big-business controlled Republican candidates choose to rebuff rather than educate.

Anti-intellectualism and political business collusion is not a good look for America’s ecological image.

International agreements help, but keeping our planet healthy will always come down to individual effort.

While you do your part to helping the environment, separate the disinformation from scientifically sound evidence.

Remember which candidate is in touch with reality regarding our planet’s current state as you head to a voting booth this year.

America faces many problems this election season.

Each candidate is entitled to a fundamental opinion on most subjects. This is not one of them.

Climate change is legitimate. That is no longer up for debate. We can’t afford to waste time arguing what science has proven.

Anyone who thinks otherwise does not deserve your attention.

And they certainly do not deserve your vote.

Trump’s inner New Yorker likely to be his undoing

I’m originally from the Empire State.

Every time I went into the city to watch a Yankees game or see a show, I had the displeasure of seeing people like Donald Trump.

Consider what this type of person is like before voting for “The Donald.”

These folks always wore Armani suits and talked loudly on their top-of-the-line iPhones. They usually weren’t walking city streets with us “heathens” for very long.

Those Wall Street clowns would slip into a spacious limousine and speed off to a high-rise on the Upper East Side.

What they usually left behind was a mentally handicapped person or a homeless veteran

hunched over at the crosswalk.

I watched as New York’s wealthiest refused to throw a nickel to homeless vets as they traveled home to enjoy a cigar, likely lit by a $100 bill.

That was what drove me away from the city. New York is home to some of the richest and poorest people on the planet.

Sadly, these two groups are virtually living on top of each other. It is a microcosm of one of America’s biggest problems.

Now, the poster child for New

York’s wealth, assertiveness and superiority complex is running for president.

We all know “The Donald.”

Television shows, front row seats at Yankee Stadium and the hair.

Oh God, the hair.

Trump has something every successful and famous American needs: A name brand. That is what has gotten him this far.

Now that he is making a serious case for the presidency, Trump’s inner New Yorker is beginning to surface.

Trump is a racist xenophobic demagogue. Not all New Yorkers are. In fact, most New Yorkers are pretty compassionate people.

But Trump is America’s

loudest bigot.

He says outlandish things and his poll numbers skyrocket.

It has become like clockwork.

His supporters are the most fascinating aspect of his campaign. Trump has found a way to relate to the uneducated farmer in Iowa as well as the wealthy banker in New Hampshire.

He takes shots at everyone, and does so with a crude, dismissive tone. He’s made references to Megyn Kelly’s bodily functions and referred to Hillary Clinton as a dog.

I don’t support Trump. No right-minded individual would.

But I get Donald. I really do.

He’s a New Yorker.

Sometimes we say things we don’t mean to get a rise out of people. Oftentimes, we catch flak for it.

Trump, like all of us, has a first amendment right to say basically whatever he pleases about whomever he pleases.

But he can’t do that and run for president at the same time.

That’s the other selfdetonating quality most New Yorkers have. We’re horribly stubborn.

And Trump won’t be toned down or censored for the sake of political correctness. It’s only going to get worse from here.

I don’t know who our next president will be. But I know it won’t be Trump.

opinions

His campaign won’t survive a general election when voters consider some of the comments he’s made.

If he would have filtered his opinions on certain topics, Trump might be giving the Democrats something to worry about in November.

But thankfully that’s not going to happen. The city dweller in Trump won’t allow it to.

Unlike most politicians, Trump’s true colors show every time he steps to the microphone. He can’t help himself.

He’s just too New York for his own good.

More importantly, he’s too New York to be the leader of the free world.

Just as it was for Obama, young vote key for Sanders Knowing you’ll soon be only feet away from possibly the next president of the United States makes the leg cramps gained during a seven-hour road trip to Iowa City easier to handle.

Throw in seeing Vampire Weekend perform twice for free, once only three feet away from you in a coffee shop, and you won’t even notice the soreness until adventure is over.

test, lines were long and tensions were high. The caucuses began Monday and over that weekend, newspapers had Sanders and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton placed in dead heat.

Six blocks of lines circled the city as we waited for the doors to open. The Washington Post estimated 1,700 people in attendance, a majority appearing to be part of the millennial generation.

Sander’s campaign planners clearly aren’t ignorant to who

Sanders’ main supporters are in this campaign. Before his speech, bands Foster the People and Vampire Weekend performed with short speeches by Josh Hutcherson between.

Sanders walked out to the center stage after the performances and emphasized the same issues that had first gained him national attention, especially among younger voters, when he launched his bid nine months ago.

His philosophy followed the sign reading “A future to believe in” behind him when he called for pay equity for women, a $15 minimum wage, an overhaul of the tax system to make large corporations to

pay substantially more and a $1 trillion federal jobs program.

The crowd of more than a thousand had a deafening cheer, but in the silences that followed, there was an honest reminder given at the end of the speech: even if their cheers left ears ringing for days or how impressive the attendance was, neither will make a difference if the supporters didn’t end up actually voting.

No matter what party you choose to adhere to, the amount of people who claim to care isn’t equal to the amount of people who are voting.

Our generation has opinions.

We aren’t as apathetic or uninformed as people make us out to

be. We attend rallies, we engage in debate, we post articles online, we order large stickers to put on laptops and cars.

And yet, it’s often the older generations, the ones who won’t be affected by the next president’s political decisions for as long as we will be, who decide what decisions will affect our world for the long years to come.

Surrounded by thousands of cheering people at the rally, the reality was that, despite their passion in that moment toward the issues being debated, statistically, only half will end up at the voting polls.

To those who don’t vote claiming that it won’t make a difference,

remember that at the caucus the day after the rally, Sanders fell behind Hillary Clinton by one vote.

Leave behind the belief that our voices and our votes don’t make a difference.

Sanders would not be a serious candidate for the job if it weren’t for his appeal to our generation.

President Barack Obama was elected because we decided to go out and vote for him.

Follow through with the final act.

While shouting your opinions and rallying with the candidate who agrees with them the most is great, without your actual vote, your efforts fall into the void of indifference.

Police Chief provides clarification on campus guns policy to the editor: A letter to the editor published Jan. 31 in Central Michigan Life regarding CMU’s long-established weapons policy contained inaccurate information.

“While everyone is entitled to an opinion, it is important to note that Michigan state law allows an

individual with a valid concealed postil license to carry on campus,” the letter stated.

Firearms may not be carried on campus, regardless of whether a person has a concealed weapon permit.

Manuel Rupe, CMU vice president and general counsel, said the

CMU Board of Trustees, which was established by the Michigan Constitution of 1963, has constitutional authority to set policies that govern its campus.

Further, the Michigan Court of Claims recently affirmed that the University of Michigan’s weapons policy — which is very similar

to CMU’s — is an appropriate regulation under Michigan law.

It affirmed that MCL 123.1102 — which keeps municipalities from adopting certain regulations regarding firearms — does not apply to public universities.

If someone has a firearm on campus — which is contrary to

CMU’s weapons policy — the following procedure applies: The CMU Police Department will be called.

Police will ask the person to either take the firearm off campus or leave CMU property.

If the person refuses, the person may be arrested or charged

with trespassing.

If anyone has questions about the weapons policy, I encourage you to call the CMU Police Department at (989) 774-3081.

Baugh said it is important that the university go beyond recruiting, and provide students with adequate resources and support.

“If you’re going to have students, faculty and staff of color on the campus you have to not just focus on the numbers, but focus on providing adequate support for them,” Baugh said.

When she attends diversity events on campus Baugh doesn’t see many faculty members and administrators.

From the time they are a freshman, the percentage of black, nonhispanic students that stay at CMU until the fall semester of their

fourth year is an average of 53.5 percent from the 2009-11 cohort.

For the overall student population, this number is 64.2 percent and 65.6 percent of the white, nonhispanic population.

“CMU (used to have) the reputation of being a safe, white campus where you could send your kids and not have to worry,” she said. “It’s only been through serious efforts from a core group of student, faculty and staff activists on the campus over a long period that has pushed us in the direction in increasing the number of students.”

Although the student body is more diverse than when it was in the 80s, Baugh said the population of faculty and staff has not changed much at all.

There is no mandatory cultural

diversity training for professors at CMU, an issue raised at the Conversations on Campus forum to President George Ross on Dec. 4.

He said training is not mandatory because it would be hard to get 100 percent participation.

“In terms of (diversity training for faculty) I am open to that but I’m always leery of things called ‘mandatory,’” Ross said in the December.

Predium’s experience with professors has been generally positive.

“Being a part of a cause and having sympathy and seeing that person as a human being, it’s good but it’s still a different experience,” she said. “(White people) can understand, but only to a certain extent.”

Four finalists will visit campus next week and interview to be the next dean of The Herbert H. & Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions.

Interim Dean Thomas Masterson, John Todorovich, Constance Dean Qualls and Gregory Frazer were named as potential candidates, in a press release published by the university Monday.

Todorovich serves as the department chair of exercise science and community health at the University of West Florida in Pensacola.

Qualls is the director of the Graduate Program in Speech-Language Pathology at the State University of New York at Buffalo and Frazer serves as dean of John G. Rangos Sr. School of Health Sciences at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

O

Interviews will take place in February and be held from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Bovee University Center Lake Michigan Room.

Todorovich will interview first on Monday, Feb. 8, followed by Masterson on Wednesday, Feb. 10 and Qualls on Thursday, Feb. 11.

Frazer will visit campus last on Monday, Feb. 15.

Each interview is open for the public to attend.

The interview will be conducted by a 13-person committee, headed by Senior Associate Dean of Faculty and Administration for the College of Medicine Linda Perkowski. The committee is comprised of students, faculty and staff. “(Prior to) the in-person interviews, we did Skype interviews with all of the candidates,” she said.

“Our job is to recommend

individuals to Provost (Michael) Gealt for his selection as to who should come to campus. Our instructions are to meet the qualifications as indicated by the position description.”

Masterson has been serving as interim dean since the resignation of former CHP Dean Christopher Ingersoll, who left Central Michigan University in January 2015. Ingersoll now serves as dean of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Toledo.

Perkowski said the committee hopes to have the position filled by the end of the semester, but when the dean will finally be able to fill the position is largely dependent on how soon they can leave their other job.

Bono’s first bunch Edwards brothers, pair of three-star QB’s highlight CMU’s National Signing Day

By Taylor DesOrmeau and Von Lozon Sports Editor, Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

With a limited number of graduating seniors on the 2015 Central Michigan football roster, Head Coach John Bonamego didn’t have many spots to fill with newcomers.

Akron was the only MidAmerican Conference school to have fewer recruits join the program Wednesday for National Signing Day than CMU’s 14. The Chippewas also added two transfer student-athletes.

Defensive backs and halfbacks were in the majority, with CMU adding four at each position.

“Running backs are like ice cream: I like several different flavors,” said Head Coach John Bonamego. “I’m not just going to narrow myself down to one. When you have guys that have different physical abilities and different skill sets, you’re able to use them in a variety of different ways.”

The running back coming in with the most experience is Berkley Edwards, who played 10 games for Minnesota at running back as a freshman in 2014 but only carried the ball five times in 2015.

He transferred to CMU for the spring semester and will also run track Bonamego said.

Edwards is the younger brother of former Michigan wide receiver and top five draft pick Braylon Edwards. Bailey Edwards, the youngest of the three brothers, also signed with CMU Wednesday.

Bailey is listed as a three-star recruit according 247Sports. The 6-1,

183-pound wideout received offers from at least five other Mid-American Conference schools — including Bowling Green and Western Michigan — and Minnesota.

He is CMU’s second-highestrated recruit and the 32ndhighest recruit in the state according to 247Sports.

Bailey had 47 catches for 630 yards and six receiving touchdowns for the Chelsea Bulldogs in 2015. He helped his team to a 12-2 record and the MHSAA Division 3 State Championship Game before falling 29-12 to St. Mary Prep.

“When you turn on the film he doesn’t disappoint,” Bonamego said. “He’s an exciting player we feel can develop into a real difference maker on our team and in our conference.”

Assistant Head Coach and Wide Receivers Coach Mose Rison said he likes Bailey’s quickness.

“I really fell in love with his speed,” Rison said. “I can’t teach speed. This young man can flat out fly.”

The Chippewas plan on redshirting Bailey in 2016.

The top recruit Quarterback Tony Poljan stepped in for Cooper Rush after he graduated from Lansing Catholic High School. He has the chance to do the same at CMU. Poljan had originally verbally committed to Minnesota, but decommitted in November after Minnesota had several coaches leave the program after Head Coach Jerry Kill retired due to health issues.

At 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, the three-star talent also had received offers from Michigan State, Nebraska, Iowa State, and

Oklahoma State, according to MLive.

Those schools were recruiting him as a full-time tight end, but Poljan has Bailey Edwards plans to become a full-time quarterback.

CMU, Eastern Michigan, Toledo and Buffalo offered Poljan a scholarship to play quarterback.

With Lansing Catholic in 2015, Poljan went 11-2 with more than 1,900 passing yards and 16 touchdowns, along with more than 1,200 yards rushing

and 25 touchdowns, for a total of over 3,100 yards and 41 touchdowns. He led Lansing Catholic to a regional title Alonzo McCoy for the second time and was a top 10 finalist for Michigan High School Football Player of the Year.

Poljan is CMU’s highestrated Chippewa this recruiting season, according to 247Sports. com. His overall rating is an 85.53 and is ranked 19th among recruits from Michigan.

CMU also added junior college quarterback Tommy Lazzaro, who’s also a threestar recruit according to 247Sports.

depth right away,” Bonamego said. “If we had neglected to do that, then we would have been scary thin. They’re not easy to find. They’re a little more difficult to evaluate.”

“I see that’s going to give us

St ealing a Rocket Three-star defensive back Alonzo McCoy flipped his commitment last weekend from Toledo to Central Michigan. He is CMU’s third-highest-rated recruit. “(Defensive Backs Coach Archie Collins) did a great job of staying on him,” Bonamego said. “He told us he felt this was a better fit for him. We’re happy to have him.”

The wait is over Lacrosse to play first game in program history at University of Michigan

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter @Salsa_Evan | sports@ cm-life.com

Alanna Sparks | Staff Photographer Florida freshman Kaitlin Kimble practices on Jan. 29 in the Indoor Athletic Complex.

The wait for the Central Michigan women’s lacrosse team is over.

It has taken more than two years, but the Chippewas will play in a regular season game as a member of the nine-team Atlantic Sun Conference this Sunday.

CMU will play at 1 p.m.

Sunday in Ann Arbor at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse against Michigan. It will mark the first game in history for the program that was announced in January 2014.

“Building up to this moment has been really exciting, for not only the last couple of weeks but for the last yearand-a-half for a lot of people,” said Head Coach Sara Tisdale.

“As a team, we are excited to face a great opponent in Michigan and know that we’ll be able to start our season off at a very high level.”

The Chippewas’ roster is comprised of 25 freshmen and one sophomore. Freshman midfielder Logan Halvorson said there has been a lot of anticipation for Sunday’s game.

“There’s been a lot of energy, especially going into this week,” Halvorson said. “Everyone is just excited to get back out there and play again.”

Michigan begins its third season as a varsity sport on Sunday. The Wolverines finished 5-12 (0-5 Big Ten Conference) last season. Jennifer Ulehla leads a Michigan group that returns 100 percent of its scoring from last season.

“Michigan is a very aggressive team, very fast and very well coached,” Tisdale said.

“We have a ton of respect for their staff and the program that they’ve put together. We think they will bring a great product to the field. We’re expecting fast-paced, aggressive game.”

The Chippewas will counter Michigan’s attack with freshmen midfielders Anna Schoonover and Jocelyne Lemay, who were both named to the Atlantic Sun Conference’s preseason watch list.

Lemay scored four goals in a home exhibition game against Findlay in October.

The only Canadian on the roster said she is looking forward to learning in her first collegiate season.

“The level here is a lot higher because it is college-level,” Lemay said. “I’ve only played in the high-school level.”

Tisdale said the team will bus to Ann Arbor on Sunday morning and have a walkthrough practice before the first draw at 1 p.m. She added she is anticipating nerves from her players, all playing in their first collegiate game.

“I expect a lot of jitters at the very beginning as we take the field for the first time and hear that starting lineup announced for the first time,” Tisdale said. “As we settle into our gameplay, I hope the fans will see a confident and wellthought-out attack.”

Halvorson said the team has received scouting reports on Michigan. The Wolverines will be led by midfielder Anna

Schueler, who recorded 34 goals last season.

“We’ve had a couple of different scouting reports from them,” Halvorson said. “We’re looking at what they do on offense and defense, trying to counter on what we think they’ll do.”

Tisdale said part of having a new roster is teaching them how to scout an opponent. She said win or lose, the biggest success would be to execute the gameplan and to be better as the game progresses.

“One thing we talked about (Wednesday) is what a special moment this is and the reason most of them are here is because they wanted to be a part of the program’s first,” Tisdale said. “This is definitely an exciting moment.”

Freshman midfielder Natalie Bloniarz said “very productive” practices have aided the team in preparing for the Wolverines.

“If we just put our heads to it, we can get out there and get after Michigan,” Bloniarz said.

The game is the first of three nonconference road contests the team will play before its home opener March 11 against Delaware State.

CMU will play a 16-game schedule, with eight games against conference foes. The Chippewas must be one of the top six teams in the ASC in order to qualify for the Atlantic Sun Lacrosse Championships May 4-8 at Kennesaw State in Georgia.

“We believe we have built a nonconference schedule that will help us get there,” Tisdale said.

Chippewas aim to vanquish top two MAC teams in one week

By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor @tdesormeau | sports@cm-life.com

Though the Chippewas are 1-0 against Akron this season, the history books don’t favor the Central Michigan men’s basketball team.

The Akron Zips have won their past 12 games at home, dating back to last season. The Zips haven’t lost a home game to CMU since Feb. 8, 2003 — two seasons before Keith Dambrot took over as the head coach in Akron.

Friday night’s matchup between the Zips (18-4, 7-2 Mid-American Conference) and the Chippewas (139, 6-3 MAC) features the teams with the best records in the conference.

“If you’re not looking forward to playing Akron, playing on TV (and) playing for the top seed in the tournament, then you’re not a competitor,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “And we’ve got a bunch of competitors on our team. Arguably, Akron’s the toughest place to go in and win.”

CMU hit 25-of-28 free throw attempts to upset Akron on Jan. 12, despite making 5-of-20 3-point attempts. The Chippewas had one of their best 3-point

shooting nights in Tuesday’s 88-61 win over Kent State, hitting 14-of-29.

Senior guard Chris Fowler said rebounding was the team’s biggest issue Tuesday.

“Since I am going to nitpick, we got outrebounded by eight and I only had two,” Fowler said. “I think I left my big guys out to dry a little bit too much. That’s something I’ll watch film on and get corrected.”

The Golden Flashes outrebounded CMU 35-27, although the Chippewas earned the slight edge in the second half.

The MAC has three teams in the top 100 in RPI (ratings percentage index) with Akron at 65, Kent State at 85 and Ohio at 94. CMU is 3-0 against those three.

Primetime The MAC has featured one game per week this season in the Friday night slot to increase exposure.

This is CMU’s first appearance in the early game.

“By moving that game to Friday, when there’s not as many college games to watch on TV, we’re getting more exposure for our league,” Davis said. “That’s important.”

Senior forward John Simons — who will break Robbie Harmon’s CMU career record of 233 3-pointers on his next 3-point make — said he’s watched most

of the Friday games this conference season. He noted the quicker turnaround as the biggest difference.

“It’s kind of like going back to high school,” Simons said. “I think in high school, we played on Tuesday’s and Friday’s. It’s more about the quick turnaround.”

The game begins at 8 p.m. and will be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network.

Coaching against the former Chippewa coach Dambrot began at CMU when he was 33, leading the Chippewas for two seasons from 1991-1993. He amassed a 20-34 record and a 10-24 mark in conference play. The last time CMU beat Akron twice in one season was in 1994 — the year after — when CMU went 5-21.

Dambrot was fired after using a racial slur in the locker room, although he said he received permission from his players before using it. Dambrot went on to St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron to coach Lebron James and win a pair of state championships.

He became an assistant coach with the Akron Zips in 2001 and was promoted to the head coach position in 2004. He has led his team to three NCAA Tournaments and has at least 19 victories in all 11 seasons.

Dambrot is 12-2 against CMU as Akron’s

head coach.

“Whenever you come back to a place that you coached before, there’s a little bit different feeling when you first go back,” Davis said. “But I think over time, that tends to wear off. There’s so many changes from administration to athletics of who’s around.”

With three senior post players and a core of young guards, Dambrot has positioned his team to make another run into the postseason.

“He’s obviously had a lot of success,” Davis said. “I think it comes from him having a style. When you talk about Akron basketball, it’s easy to summarize what they’re about and how they win games.”

Akron and CMU were predicted to win their respective divisions in the MAC Preseason Media Poll. Even after an uncertain beginning to the season for CMU, both schools sit alone atop their divisions halfway through the MAC season.

“I don’t think there’s one team to beat in the MAC,” Davis said. “I really believe there’s probably seven or eight teams right now that could have a realistic thought of winning the league. Fortunately, I think we’re one of those seven or eight.”

Nevertheless, if current trends continue, there’s a very real chance Friday’s matchup between CMU and Akron won’t be the last of the season.

MidSeason Report Card

By Taylor DesOrmeau and Andrew Surma Sports Editor, Assistant Sports Editor

@TaylorDesormeo, @Andrew_Surma | sports@cm-life.com

I

f the season ended today, the men’s and women’s basketball teams would be in the top four in the Mid-American Conference. Neither squad would have to play an opening round game.

Both teams have gone through growing pains. But both are inarguably playing their best basketball of the season right now with one month of regular season basketball to go.

Here’s how the Central Michigan Life sports editors grade both teams at the midway point of the MAC season.

r e m m u S U M C h t sses wi

cla

Women:

Starting Backcourt: B The Chippewa starting backcourt misses out on the A for one main reason: turnovers. Despite the unexpected production from freshman point guard Presley Hudson — who averages a team high 15.3 points per game — she has turned the ball over 67 times after Wednesday’s game in Ypsilanti.

Starting Frontcourt: AThe frontcourt of sophomore Tinara Moore and freshman Reyna Frost is arguably the best rebounding duo in the conference. Moore has 11 double-doubles and the pair have pulled down a combined 385 rebounds entering Wednesday. CMU is first in the MAC in offensive rebounding, tied for third for defensive rebounds and first in rebounding margin.

Coaching: A After losing Crystal Bradford to the WNBA, Head Coach Sue Guevara faced a young roster heading into 2015-16, but the veteran coach turned a starting five of mainly underclassmen into a contender in the MAC. With many expecting a drop off following Bradford’s departure, Guevara’s team has not only picked up where it left off, but elevated the culture of the program.

Starting Backcourt: A After a rocky start without senior Chris Fowler, the trio of Fowler, junior Braylon Rayson and senior Rayshawn Simmons has carried the team in the MAC season. The three have scored in double digits in 52 of their combined 58 games this season and provide stability defensively for CMU. Starting Frontcourt: BAt times, sophomore Luke Meyer is throwing down dunks, swatting away layup attempts and hogging rebounds. He’s also prone to getting in foul trouble and goes through streaks where he doesn’t make an impact. Senior John Simons has been less of a force offensively up until Tuesday’s game and went through a seven-game stretch with nine total 3-pointers.

Coaching: B+ Keno Davis hasn’t been able to plug new players consistently into the rotation this season and a few players seemed to have digressed from last season. Yet, even after a rough start, Davis carried himself like a winner and his team followed suit. While fans and media may be surprised at the recent run of success, Davis and his team displayed a cool confidence through everything they faced.
