New innovation center allows students, faculty to collaborate By Cala James Staff Reporter @Cala_Christine | news@cm-life.com
Funding of three research projects was started last year by the new Center of Innovation, Collaboration and Engagement program. Advertising associate professor Johnny Sparks is the director of ICE. The program is meant to help individuals form a research idea and create an experiment to test their theory. ICE helps provide necessary funding, which sometimes ends up being compensation to students who gather information and track results of a project. The focus of ICE is to perform research on innovative, tangible ideas that deal with any number of issues or questions people are faced with in society. Projects funded last year are continuing along with the addition of new ones. One research project was formed to answer the question, “How do audiences engage in political process?” ICE is creating research on political communication, as one example, Sparks said. After information is collected from a project, the group hopes to present it to the public and publish their work in scientific articles. “Students who participate in research will also be published in the articles along with me,” Sparks said. ICE is a group open to the public, the community, and CMU students and faculty that are involved in any department on campus.
Sparks referred to student involvement as “huge untapped potential.” “Students have a lot to offer in research gathering, and can be a great asset,” he said. Sparks said he hopes to broaden awareness of ICE’s mission to enhance lives. He said he views the group as a “community garden, where people can come together and use their tools to create an idea.” “ICE helped me out a ton last semester,” said Will Anderson, a broadcast faculty member and a funded participant in research for the new program. “I asked for a small grant from the ICE center, I think it was $600, and I was able to use that to study. I’m trying to study what millenials look for in audio drama and it worked really nicely because it also linked (to) some research that I’m doing to develop radio drama — or audio drama — for autism education.” Anderson said funds were used to pay three broadcast communication undergraduate students about $180 for their work. With all of the research collected by students, Anderson was able to attend several conferences and speak about his research findings. “I do believe that the gnarlier problems that we’re facing as a world, as a planet, as a civilization, as a group of people, really do need collaborative, innovative, team work, in order to solve them,” Hethorn said. “Problems don’t exist within disciplines, they exist in the world, and it takes all of us working together to solve them, and so I really believe in what this group is doing.”
Abbie Robinson | Staff Photographer Advertising associate professor Johnny Sparks, right, describes his plans to grow the Innovation, Collaboration and Engagement Center during the reception in Moore Hall on Sept. 18, where faculty and students asked questions about the program.
In hopes of getting the word out about ICE, Sparks held a reception for the innovation center on Sept. 18. Newly-hired Dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts Janet Hethorn attended the meeting along with multiple faculty members and students. “The cool thing about when you do provide seed funding is that one thing turns into
another,” Hethorn said. “You have a project that you can go out and get the grants (for). I’m very much interested in helping Johnny and the rest of the group here (to) find ways to grow projects from those seed funding opportunities.” Meetings will be held every Friday morning at 11 a.m. in Moore 430. Students, faulty and community members are welcome to attend.
CMU Bookstore sales drop as rental services are on the rise Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com
Bookstore sales for the fall 2015 semester are down 13.7 percent compared to last fall, when they sold 54,788 physical books to students on campus. A total of 63,483 books were sold during the 2014 fall semester. Director of the Central Michigan University Bookstore Barry Waters said he is not worried about the change in numbers. “These stats do not reflect purchases through our website, from Amazon, (or from) half or any of our multiple partners on our website,” Waters said. “We receive a commission from all of our partners if students purchase from them through our website.” Book purchases have gone down since last year, rentals have seen a small increase of 7.4 percent.
This time last year, 13,931 books were rented to students through the bookstore. As of Sept. 25, almost 15,000 books have been rented to CMU students. “Rental is very important as a low cost alternative,” Waters said. “Those numbers continue to increase especially as we try to have more and more titles eligible for rental each semester.” This fall, the bookstore will be extending the period for students to rent books through Oct. 31. In the past, students were allowed to rent through September. In response to years of text book price increases, last year the Student Government Association made the textbook trading website texts.cmich.edu available to students. The website is not something the organization is giving up on, but Texts is “not where (SGA) currently wants to see it,” said SGA president Chuck Mahone in an August interview.
“The idea was to put a resource out there students could utilize other than the Bookstore,” Mahone said. “It was to give students a way to use each other.” As of Sept. 27, only 20 textbooks are for sale on Texts. To use the website, students must register through texts.cmich.com with their student ID number. From there, students can either sell their own books or browse books for sale by other students. It is also possible for students to search for a book they are looking for and then redirect students from Texts to another site that offers the book at the cheapest possible price. SGA plans to try and advertise Texts for one more semester in an effort to let students know the opportunity for trading books through a thirdparty source is available. “(Texts) didn’t really work as well as we thought it would and that’s OK,” Mahone said. “Students do
utilize (the site) but they don’t utilize each other, instead they use Texts to find the best prices online. So if they put in (their information) and are looking for a book, it will tell them the best prices (found online) and then students will be redirected to those sites.” Seniors Hannah Sassone and Kelsey Ivan said between the Bookstore or Amazon, where books came from didn’t matter so much as how much it cost. “I try to rent if I can, just because renting is cheaper,” Ivan said. “Because when it comes to selling (the books) back, you aren’t even going to get that much money in return.” The decision between buying and renting comes down to how useful the book will be in her college career, Sassone said. “There are some classes where I won’t need the book after the course, so if I know that I’ll use (the book) later on in my major I’ll buy it,” she said.

English department receives update, adds new courses By Grant LeFaive Staff Reporter @Grant_LeFaive | news@cm-life.com
Bringing the English department to the 21st century, a course on Shakespeare is no longer required for English majors at Central Michigan University. The English Department is moving away from the pre-existing degree track, onto one that will encourage “critical and creative thinking,” said Associate English Department Chair Nate Smith. This program is new on the 2015-2016 bulletin. Students who have signed the previous English major will still graduate on the track specified by their bulletin, but new majors will follow the new program. Smith predicts the previous curriculum could be phased out as early as 2019. The new major also incorporates a category titled IV.b. Comparative Cultural and Literary Traditions. “We wanted to introduce our students to a broader, more diverse set of literary texts, (like) women writers, (and) Native American, African American (and) nonwestern world literature material,” Smith said. English majors will be required to take one course in the category to fulfill the new requirement. “Many of our courses focus on skills that are in demand in the 20th century workplace, such as critical thinking, analytical skills, communication skills and not only writing, but oral communication as well,” Smith said. With a new major comes a new series of classes. Because the writing intensive credit is a requirement in all majors, a new series of ENG 140 classes are making their way through the curricular process. The first two to be approved were ENG 141: Comics, Graphic Novels and Illustrated Texts and 142: Literary Interpretation of Sport. These two courses are in session and being taught by English faculty Joseph Michael Sommers and Tracy Collins.
Sommers’ and Collins’ classes were full before fall registration ended, and both have noticed students engaged by the subject matter. “Students have seen points of entry into comics like the Marvel movies, but haven’t seen the comics themselves,” Sommers said. Two additional courses have been approved for the next academic year; ENG 143: Laughing Matters and ENG 144: Monsters and Their Meanings. These new courses offer students the chance to connect literary analysis with subjects they are already familiar with, Smith said. Now, the English department is in the process of moving half a dozen more courses in the 140 designation through the curricular process. “We hope to engage student interest,” said Dean of College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Pam Gates. “(The English department) teaches more than just Chaucer.” Sommers’ ENG 141 class delves into interpretation of comic lore, using works such as “El Deafo” to study literature in the classroom. ENG 141 was created so any instructor with experience in the medium could teach it, Sommers said. Collins similarly saw sports as a subject that could both appeal to students and encourage critical thinking. “Everybody watches sports at one time or another,” Collins said. “At Purdue, they’ve had sports literature classes for 20 years.” Collins’ class caught the attention of Grand Rapids freshman Ashley Stanitzek. “It jumped out to me because I am an athlete,” Stanitzek said. “I enjoy sports and would like to write about that.” Stanitzek, who plays Unified Intramural Soccer, said the class would appeal to committed athletes and fans alike. “For people who enjoy sports and need a

Writing Intensive credit, I’d recommend it,” she said. “Everyone is really engaged, having different opinions but in a good way.” Big Rapids freshman Timothy Vanhalla said Sommers’ style of teaching was “vibrant” and the
discussions are engaging. “(Sommers) definitely knows his stuff. He came in one day with a legit Iron Man helmet,” Vanhalla said. “He knows the story lines and the authors, his peers, and he has a really open classroom discussion.”

Man on a mission Despite financial concerns, new CMED dean reorganizes school to help serve Michigan’s sick Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com
Near the edge of campus works a man on a mission to help take care of Michigan’s poor and sick. To accomplish that, he is going to have to stabilize and grow Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine. In a building unfamiliar to most students, Dr. George Kikano spends his days in a neat, almost sterilely-clean office. He can come across as intimidatingly intelligent, which might be one reason is appears as a guest commentator for national news outlets like ABC News and FOX News. This summer Kikano moved to Mount Pleasant to begin his tenure as dean of one of the newest medical schools in Michigan. Recently ranked by his peers as one of the best doctors in America for the 12th consecutive year, Kikano has a crystal clear vision of what he wants the Central Michigan University College of Medicine to be. “We are one of the richest countries in the world, and there’s still lots of disparities in healthcare delivery and access to care,” he said. “If you drive between Mount Pleasant and Northern Michigan, all of these communities are underserved from a healthcare perspective.” CMED will train its students to serve as primary care doctors who will practice in rural Michigan’s underserved communities. This vision was in place when the medical school was founded, and that mission is why Kikano says he was drawn here to lead the college. So far, Kikano said he’s felt supported by President George Ross and Provost Mike Gealt. But just believing isnthe mis-

sion isn’t enough. Kikano said CMED’s success depends on receiving additional financial support. “They’ve invested a lot, but what it takes to put this college on the map is lots more. Colleges of medicine are very expensive ventures,” he said. When it opened, the university’s plan was to have CMED fully self-funded within five years. Kikano said this goal is unrealistic.
The College of Medicine’s clinical operations are listed in the university’s operating budget under subsidized auxiliary centers, or areas of the university that operate with money created by academic programs and tuition. Initially, CMED was to operate with dollars from medical student tuition, private gifts, endowments and revenue generated through faculty research and the care of patients at clinics it planned to establish. It missed its revenue
projection in 2014-15 and decided against purchasing clinics that will help it earn revenue and allow students practical work experiences. In 2011, then-provost Gary Shapiro said the university had “ample resources” to fund CMED. “We won’t be using any undergraduate tuition to pay for anything,” he told the Academic Senate during a 2011 meeting. In 2015, the College of Medicine’s four clinics were
subsidized for $5.2 million. On its own, CMED makes $11.9 million in tuition and $150,000 listed in the operating budget as “other revenue.” The university promised CMED $30 million in donations through a capital campaign for the college, but fundraising came to a halt after CMED’s development officer left the position. Vice President of Development and External Relations Kathy Wilbur said the campaign is about 87 percent complete. Wilbur
is assisting CMED by helping them find a new development officer. A handful of interviews have been conducted. “We brought in a number of new donors. When they saw we were working hard to meet a significant public need, they wanted to make a gift,” Wilbur said. “We’ve interviewed people already, and have more this coming week.” Wilbur, who lobbies in Lansing and Washington D.C. on behalf of CMU, said when the creation of

CMED was approved by the Board of Trustees, the university knew state funding wasn’t likely. Then the recession hit in December 2007. It was clear then that the university would not receive any financial support from the cash-strapped state. “With changes in the stock market, any additional grants or programs that weren’t viewed as critical didn’t make any further advances,” Wilbur said. Since the first discussion about establishing CMED occurred on campus, many faculty and students have questioned its value and the amount of resources CMU has devoted to it. Those investments continue, though Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes said the university has not altered its plan to gradually decrease its subsidies
of CMED. “Right now I can say that the plan is we have built into the budget at $3 million annual subsidy for the College of Medicine,” Wilkes said. “What I would like to see is (it) to break even with that subsidy included in their budget. If we look five years out from now, that gives them a reasonable time frame. I guess things have to settle down and get to a steady state as opposed to a growth state.” CMED receives an annual $3 million from CMU each year.

trators working for him. He already has hired four new senior associate deans who will supervise their respective areas. The college also is recruiting candidates to fill two additional dean positions. After Kikano was hired, he said he realized he needed to change the structure of the medical school and his reports. “I think the (former) dean had too many direct reports, and there was a lack of delegations of responsibilities. There was also a lack of clarity of reporting structures and responsibility of different tasks,” Kikano said. “Now it’s clearer, more delegated.” Students in the college have a medical school curriculum unique to CMU. They work in smaller groups, utilizing simula-
tion and interactive experiences with patients early on. Clinical rotations begin during their first year. During year four, students choose elective areas and explore their specified medical interests. CMED students pay more than $33,000 for in-state tuition and almost $70,000 for out-ofstate tuition. This year CMED welcomed its fourth class of students. Each class is capped at about 100 students. Second-year medical student Sean Masters said he and most of his classmates share the same vision for CMED as Kikano. Masters said he chose CMU because it is a new medical school. “There’s no momentum keeping it the way it has been like at an older medical school,” he said. “With a new school, you wonder, ‘Is this the best choice for my education?’ I attended a conference last year and heard medical schools are moving
more toward this team-based approach. That was really reassuring to hear.” While its financial stability remains open to criticism, Kikano is focused on the part of the mission he can control. As students share their experiences at CMED, each year the number of applicants continues to grow. To Kikano, it shows the school is moving in the right direction. “Last year for a class with 104 students, we had 4,600 applications,” Kikano said. “That means only 2 percent of the applicants made it here, and they are very qualified. Our applicant pool is on track to be more than 5,000 applicants this year, and we haven’t even started interviews yet. I’m impressed with the amount of qualified applicants we have.” Monica Bradburn | Assistant Photo Editor Second-year medical student Laura Bou-Maroun listens to the simulation mannequin’s heart and lungs on Sept. 25 in the college of medicine’s simulation room at Health Professions building.

niversity Recreation has broken the seal at McGuirk Arena, allowing alumni and students to purchase beer for the first time at the Third Eye Blind concert on Homecoming Weekend. Doing something new to attract returning alumni is a solid move at a time when it has been difficult to fill seats during on-campus events. On Homecoming Weekend, alcohol will be served in a controlled environment, where only people of legal age can purchase drinks.
editorial
We have yet to see how this affects the event, but it is encouraging to see University Recreation try something new. We would support CMU extending alcohol sales to other concert events this semester, something other universities are also experimenting with. As part of a one-game pilot, Eastern Michigan University sold beer in a cordoned off area in the Sept. 19 football game against Ball State. Alcohol won’t be sold at future athletics events this season, but the test was considered successful by EMU officials. While the practice is new for an event open to the general public, CMU frequently sells alcohol at other on-campus events that are generally not attended by or organized for students. While the inclusion of beer at the Homecoming concert is directed toward alumni, it’s nice to see the university trusts students who will be attending to enjoy the concert like adults. It will be interesting to see how the inclusion of beer will affect ticket sales. If successful, it might be worth implementing at other concerts which have been harder to market to students. Though he ended up filling Plachta Auditorium, Nick Swardson’s comedy act changed venues due to ticket sales. A lack of student interest for last year’s Ludacris concert forced Program Board to eventually give tickets away for free. Would offering an amenity that is featured at any other concert add incentive for more students to attend the next show in McGuirk Arena? It is hard to see how it wouldn’t be worth finding out. Selling beer at a concert is not bribing students to buy tickets with alcohol, nor is it promoting the idea of a rampant party culture at CMU. At the same time, students should take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the concert safely and responsibly. If you are attending the Homecoming concert, show the community that students can handle this privilege.

Let survivors have a choice A woman you know has been sexually assaulted. But you probably don’t know that, because she more than likely hasn’t reported it. In a recent survey of 27 college campuses across the country, it was found that more than one in 10 undergraduate women say they were victims of nonconsensual penetration. Of these women, about 70 percent did not report the incidents. When they were asked on the survey why they didn’t report, these women said they didn’t think the incident was serious enough. They also cited shame, emotional difficulty or the belief that nothing would be done about it. This information should appall you, but from where I’m standing, I can clearly see why women wouldn’t report. Imagine being victimized. Imagine being stripped of your humanity and autonomy, in what was prob-
ably the most traumatic situation of your life. And then imagine going to the police and having to explain it in pain-staking detail to multiple people who you don’t know, only to have them ask you why you were in that situation in the first place. It could be a re-victimizing process. At Central Michigan University, the university doesn’t have to notify the police if a sexual assault is reported. A victim doesn’t have to go through with any kind of investigation if she doesn’t wish to. This is a good thing — control is being handed back to a person who may feel like they’re spinning out of it. But this level of control could change, as a Michigan bill is being cheered on by Republican men who believe universities are overstepping their bounds and punishing innocent students. If passed, the bill would drastically change the procedures of

Use social media freely, or not at all One of my main concerns in life is making sure I portray myself so the world sees an accurate representation of my core morals and values. This includes every way I express myself, from how I act, what I say and all of my personal social media outlets. As social media gained popularity toward the end of my high school years and exploded when I started college, it has been drilled into my head repeatedly to “be careful what I post,” by my parents, professors and potential employers. This is not specific to me — if there is a millennial out there who hasn’t gotten the “social media lecture” on not

There would be no exchange of ideas, any communication or knowledge being shared.

This is why my Twitter has some swearing, some articles I shared with my own comments on why I agree or disagree with someone else’s ideas, and some tweets that are flat out ridiculous.

Technology increases accessibility for students with disabilities By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter @paige_sheff | news@cm-life.com
Technology has made classes at Central Michigan University more accessible for on-campus students with disabilities, but work is still being done to make improvements. Accessibility for students with disabilities is being updated by offering software to make classes easier to navigate, new buildings being added to campus that are more accessible, and the Accessibility and Advisory Council providing resources to make on-campus events more accessible. Most learning accommodations in classrooms can be taken care of with software, said Lynne L’Hommedieu, director of Student Disability Services.
Accommodations students receive depend on their disabilities, but students registered with Student Disability Services can have access to the new software for free. The software was introduced to students in a workshop on Friday, Sept. 25. Other than recording and transcribing notes, the software can read textbooks and emails, take photos of the board during lectures and insert photos into notes. It includes Kurzweil 3000, Dragon, Sonocent and AudioNote, and can be utilized throughout internships and as students pursue their careers, said Coordinator of Adaptive Technology Colleen Hanna. The student note takers offered through Student Disability Office attend classes
and take notes for students with disabilities. However, L’Hommedieu said she hopes the number of student note takers will decrease dramatically within the next couple years and be replaced by their technology that records and transcribes lectures. Student note takers are hard to find, especially for upper level classes, she said. “More and more, we’re going to keep moving in that direction (of technology) because it allows students to operate independently (like) any other student, and not depend on another person,” she said. Freeland senior Dakota Burch, who is visually impaired, uses Kurzweil to scan books. He can’t see well enough to read, so he uses a screen reader. “(Technology) makes the

assignments more accessible so we don’t have to ask for help all the time or have people read it to us,” he said. “It just (allows) us to be able to enjoy college without thinking of it like, ‘Oh, I can’t do this; why can’t I do this?’ and stressing us out.” The office of Student Disability Services offers various accommodations, with the most popular one being extended time and a quiet space for tests. “I think for the most part, CMU has come a long way in terms of striving for accessibility,” said Beth Kennedy, American Sign Language instructor and co-chair of the Accessibility and Disability Advisory Council. She said some buildings on campus are older and not
as accessible, while newer buildings have shown more positive changes. “In terms of accessibility of historical buildings and older things, it’s not just an issue at CMU, but around the world, so it’s exciting to see more and more new construction,” she said. The Accessibility and Disability Advisory Council, which has almost 40 members from various departments and offices on campus, hopes to make oncampus events more accessible. “One of our goals I’m most excited about is that we have some funds we’re allotting in the ADAC budget, which is small, where people who are having an event on campus can contact us if they have a need to make an event accessible,” Kennedy said. “If they’re
not able to afford interpreters or there’s been a community request for something they don’t have, (people running the event) can contact us and we can try to help with that.” She said making events accessible for as many people as possible is important, but can be a barrier because of people’s budgets. They’ve already had some requests for interpreters this year. If ADAC can’t provide the funding, she said, their intention is to help people look for other partners to ensure accessibility at events. “Accessibility is something that lots of people can benefit from, so the more we all rally around that, I think the world will be a more accessible place for everyone,” Kennedy said.

Despite loss to No. 2 Michigan State, healthy football team ready for conference play By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | sports@cm-life.com
Before the season began, Central Michigan University football fans knew the 2015 nonconference schedule would be tough. Few could have predicted how the Chippewas played during their first four games and how far they have pushed three teams from Power Five conferences en route to CMU’s 1-3 record. In CMU’s season opener, Oklahoma State escaped with a 24-13 victory. A week later, the Chippewas pounded FCS foe Monmouth 31-10 to claim their first win of the season.
Since the lone win, the team has outgained a pair of Power Five opponents in losses, including an overtime game at Syracuse and Saturday’s 30-10 loss to Michigan State. “It sucks,” said junior quarterback Cooper Rush after the MSU game. “We’re sitting there in the fourth quarter and we’re all just looking at each other like ‘Man, it’s right there for us.’ Not much else you could ask for, down seven (points) in the fourth against the No. 2 team in the country.” Rush and the Chippewas had MSU and Syracuse on the ropes late in the game before eventually letting the teams escape. Head Coach John Bonamego said mental mistakes and unforced penalties helped MSU pull away.
“You can’t have negative plays and you can’t have penalties,” Bonamego said. “They’re drive and momentum killers, particularly when you’re playing a team like (Michigan State).” The Mid-American Conference season begins this week, and the first team on CMU’s league agenda is MAC powerhouse Northern Illinois. The Huskies are 2-2 following Saturday’s 17-14 loss to Boston College and were the preseason favorites to finish among the top teams in the MAC. Led by senior quarterback Drew Hare, the Huskies lost to CMU in 2014 — their first loss in DeKalb, Illinois in 29 games. After throwing for 286 yards and a w Penalties | 15-17

No. 2 Spartans Too much for CMU After three quarters, Central Michigan University football trailed No. 2 Michigan State 17-10 at Spartan Stadium on Saturday. The Chippewas had multiple chances to tie the game, but couldn’t convert for first downs, partly because of penalties.
