FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida— Tricia Dwyer watched, and ran, as nearly 200 people sprinted through Florida’s Fort LauderdaleHollywood International Airport terminal, screaming, and taking cover from a hail of gunfire.

The Saginaw senior was at the airport on Jan. 6 when a gunman opened fire in the luggage claim corridor.

CNN reported five people were killed and eight were injured from gunshot wounds. Dozens, including Dwyer, were also harmed, due to the chaos created by the incident.

The shooter was Esteban Santiago, a 26-year-old Iraq War combat veteran. He was taken into custody almost immediately following the incident, according to CNN. Like so many around her, Dwyer’s first instinct was to seek safety with her family.

“It was such a blur,” Dwyer said.

FRIDAY

“We were waiting at the gate (when shooting occurred), and ended up just running out to the luggage carrier.”

Dwyer was returning to Michigan after vacationing with her brother and mother on a cruise to the Bahamas.

While fleeing down a flight of cement stairs, Dwyer said she tripped over her flip flops, severely scrapping and bruising her legs. Her brother, Kevin Dwyer, 19, was able to help her get to a luggage carrier.

She hid there with two other families for several minutes. Dwyer said they saw passengers being ushered to the tarmac outside by the airplanes. They quickly joined them, and waited there for several more minutes, which turned into hours, until the group was given clearance to leave.

Dwyer and her family returned to Michigan on Sunday, after renting a car and driving home. Besides her leg injuries, everyone in her family made

it home safely.

“It’s pretty bad. I can barely walk,” she said, “I think there’s bruises on my knee bone, and it’s so weird — I can’t really go up and down the Tricia Dwyer stairs. The scabbing is not the part that hurts the worst, it’s just the bruises.”

Dwyer said she’s simply thankful to be back, and alive, and will be returning to CMU to complete her final semester.

“I just want everyone to be aware that things can change so fast,” she said. “You should always be aware of your surroundings, especially when you’re in public places. Know where the exits are, who’s around you and stuff like that. It’s so important.”

Students should expect snow, rain mix at start of semester

By Evan Sasiela News Editor news@cm-life.com

As the spring semester starts this week, students should prepare to bundle up.

The National Weather Service as of Sunday morning reports a wind chill value as low as negative 3 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday for the Mount Pleasant area. Snow showers should continue into the night before 11 a.m. Tuesday, where rain and snow is expected to mix until 1 p.m., when rain will follow. It should be cloudy with a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday. There is a chance of rain and snow showers before 1 p.m. Thursday and a chance of snow showers on Friday.

Marty Baxter, a meteorology faculty member in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, said there

have been notable changes in the weather since December. The temperature in Mount Pleasant was in the single digits late in final exam week, but reached over 50 degrees Fahrenheit on Dec. 27.

Baxter attributed the change in temperatures as a result of strong, low pressure systems moving through — drawing moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Once they move through, colder and drier air follows.

Baxter said the normal high is 29 degrees Fahrenheit, but temperatures have been well below that recently.

“The changes have been quite abrupt, but how high (in temperatures) we get and how low we get, isn’t that unusual compared with other years,” Baxter said.

After Monday night, the National

Weather Service expects a snow accumulation of 3 inches. An extra 2 inches is expected for Tuesday.

The accumulated snowfall at CMU reached above 15 inches on Dec. 24 and remained constant through the end of the month. Baxter said the heavy snowfall for December is unusual.

Jared Maples, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, said storm systems in the area

and lake effect snow with colder air led to high snow totals.

Cold air pools north and sinks down into the Great Lakes region, Maples said. Depending on a storm track south of Michigan, we should see more cold air into March.

“Just keep up-to-date with the weather and dress

appropriately,” Maples said. “If you get a big storm system moving through and you have really heavy snow, a lot of times it’s best to be prepared and stay put if you can.”

Baxter said students and faculty should expect a “typical Michigan winter” with cold temperatures, high winds and potentially icy roads. “(Students will) have to take all the normal precautions they would during these months,” he said. “Be careful driving and cover up.”

Kaya Coffee House may face relocation, property sale

By Greg Horner News Editor news@cm-life.com

A public notice in their window was all the warning that Abigail Chambers and Emily Miller received when they learned that their business, Kaya Coffee House, was facing relocation.

“Someone showed up at our shop with a big yellow notice and said, ‘you need to put this in your window,’” Chambers said. “We had no idea prior to that about a sale, rezoning or anything that’s now going on.”

Located on the corner of South University Drive and East Bellows Street, Kaya Coffee House has been a tenant in the old SBX Bookstore building for more than 15 years. Brad Ballein, the building’s owner, is in talks to sell the property to local developer Rick McGuirk. w The deal may hinge upon whether the property can be rezoned from a commercial area to a residential zone. McGuirk, the operations manager of United Apartments, wants to redevelop the property into multi-family residential units, and requested the rezoning on behalf of Ballein.

The Mount Pleasant Planning Commission recommended the rezoning request at its Jan. 5 meeting and the proposal now goes to the City Commission.

Commissioners must hold a public hearing before deciding on the matter. The earliest date the hearing could be scheduled for is on their first meeting in February. If the commission approves the request, it would take 30 days for the rezoning to take effect.

McGuirk has been working on the purchase of the SBX building since fall and said the property’s location is what interested him. He said the building’s history of vacancies and being surrounded by residential areas has left the property commercially unviable.

“When you look big picture and at the surrounding area, you could conclude that a multi-

family housing unit close to the university would make the most sense,” McGuirk said. “I have no problem at all with Kaya Coffee (House) and I want to see them successful. I’m just working to come up with the best options for that property that make sense.”

Chambers and Miller took ownership of Kaya in 2015, almost a year after the SBX closed. If the sale goes through, Kaya would have 90 days to relocate, Miller said.

“We have met with a realtor and are meeting with another,” Chambers added. “Obviously, we want as much as we can to stay where we are. We took ownership to keep this place as original as when it was founded.”

Chambers and Miller said they would prefer the building be converted into a mixed-use facility.

With Mount Pleasant’s current zoning ordinance, and the lack of parking near the building, there isn’t an effective way to make the building mixed-use, said City Planner Jacob Kain. Mount Pleasant is taking steps to implement a new zoning code, but the process could take anywhere from six to 12 months.

There is very little information available about what that new code would include or how it will be implemented, Kain said.

“But with this new code I’m expecting that all properties in the city, including this one, will receive new designations,” he added.

Since news of the possible sale of the building broke, Kaya has received hundreds of phone calls voicing support, Miller said.

“It’s a testament to how much it means to students in the university,” Chambers added.

“The amount of support from alumni and current students show that this place is an icon.”

Miller and Chambers said that Kaya has been doing well financially, but during the Jan. 5 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner Tim Driessnack, who once owned a coffee shop, highlighted the difficulty of competing with the

THE WORLD Students become ‘active, global citizens’ on Winter Alternative Breaks

A

ndrea Ramirez grew up 14 miles outside of Saginaw, the city she considers home. She was exposed to the issue of poverty at an early age.

As a middle schooler, Ramirez volunteered at food pantries.

She wanted to make a difference “I know it’s the same issue everywhere, just a different location,” Ramirez said. “I can see what it does to people around me.”

The Reese senior heard about Alternative Breaks at Central Michigan University, a volunteer program that allows students to pick a social issue they care about, and then travel to a destination to serve communities coping with that problem.

During her sophomore year, Ramirez was put on a waitlist. The next year, she and her roommates got up before the 7:30 a.m.

sign-up time, and eagerly awaited news of their appointments.

It worked. That year each of was chosen to participate in an Alternative Break.

Last semester, Ramirez chose to volunteer and became one of the 228 students shipped off on Alternative Breaks across the nation. These students sacrificed spending time with their families at the start of winter break. Some even slept on floors, or on cots in dusty churches.

Along the way, they built new families and experiences with other students on Alternative Breaks.

This year the program, sponsored by the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center, sent 19 groups to 17 different locations at the end of the fall 2016 semester until Dec. 23.

Since its inception in 1994,

in Sharpsburg, Georgia. The social issue that students volunteered for was “Food Justice.”

the Alternative Breaks program at CMU has grown in recognition as a powerful force for good, helping students battle issues of poverty, hunger and other public crises.

CMU is ranked third for the amount of Alternative Breaks it offers and fourth for number of students who are a part of the program, according to Break Away, a national organization which provides resources to alternative break programs across the country.

Imlay City junior Chloe Kosinski was mentored at the Leadership Institute on campus her freshman year when she learned of the Alternative Breaks program.

Kosinski told herself she would go on an alternative break every year. She has traveled to Pittsburgh, Washington D.C. and went to Omaha, Nebraska this winter for a Criminal Justice Alternative Break.

”You’re broadening your horizons just by being here so you should take the opportunity,” Kosinski said. “There’s really no other time where you’re able to travel to a different state with random people and get to know them.”

The CMU Alternative Breaks program included 696 students in the 2015-16 academic year, with 49 breaks throughout the calendar year.

There were nearly 20 CMU students who visited Kentucky in 1994 on the first Alternative Break, which was started as a result of basic student interest, said graduate assistant Jennifer Drevon.

Now, the program offers weeklong breaks in the winter, spring and summer, as well as weekend and international breaks.

Erica Johnson, assistant director of the Volunteer Center, said she hopes to have more than 700

students this year serving as “active global citizens” in the communities seeking student help.

Johnson said winter sign-ups on OrgSync filled within 90 seconds.

Students are not given a location when they sign up, but pick an issue they care about. Once issues are filled, destinations are assigned.

“I think students know they’re positive experiences,” Johnson said. “There’s a lot of learning that happens on (Alternative Breaks), they’re a lot of fun and (students) are doing some good things. I really feel (our) students care about doing good.”

For students involved in Alternative Breaks, the lessons they learn are as unique and as rich as the places they visit. Their stories are ones of personal development, imbuing them with skills that affect real change.

JONESBORO, ARKANSAS This year, Ramirez chose “Rural Poverty” as her issue, advancing from a participant to a site leader. A site leader is in charge of managing a budget, safety, travel and activities, as well as coordinating with community partners and leading the group. Site leaders receive $100 off their trip.

Site leaders are trained by the Student Advisory Committee, which is made up of 23 members and is led by Brooklyn senior Nick Aniol. He said the group coordinates sites, Enterprise vans for travel and budgets for each alternative break. The committee also selects the organizations the groups will encounter and strives to find long-term partnerships, Johnson said.

the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas supplied canned goods to the group. Ramirez, along with fellow site leader Aloysia Streeter and 10 participants, took a van down to Arkansas at midnight on Sunday, Dec. 18.

Each box provided by the food bank contained 15 cans for distribution to families in need.

Ramirez said the biggest challenge was counting all the items correctly.

The group packed almost 900 boxes in one day, amounting to at least 1,100 meals for local families.

When they became fatigued, program coordinator Erin King encouraged them to keep boxing.

Ramirez and the others kept pushing, creating competitions to boost morale, such as trying to fit 48 boxes on a single pallet.

“It brought us closer together because we’re all pretty competitive,” she said. “It was really uplifting.”

The group stayed at a Presbyterian church and slept on American Red Cross cots. Accommodations were sparse, but for Ramirez, cots were a luxury. She wrapped herself in a couple of blankets to stay warm, and was good to go.

“I would have been fine sleeping on the floor,” she said. “Nobody complained at all.”

For one week, the group carried with them nothing but camaraderie. They didn’t wear fancy clothes or waste time playing on devices like iPhones or tablets. Instead, they stayed up late talking at midnight on the trip down south, stopping to eating burgers at Skinny J’s.

Ramirez said this was her final Alternative Break, but said she still talks to people from her Aurora trip.

“You become like a family with these people,” she said.

CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA Grand Rapids junior Jessica Rowland is attending CMU in hopes that she’ll be a teacher one day. Her interest in helping children drove her to choose “Youth Advocacy” as her issue.

Rowland and her group departed on Dec. 16 and stayed at a Methodist church outside of downtown Charleston. The students volunteered at the Carolina Youth Development Center and served programs such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters.

Residents at the center are typically foster-care children or those awaiting placement in foster care, Rowland said. She added that some children were there for a

month, while other children waited for two years to be paired with a foster family.

Rowland and her group had a week to make an impact. The students’ main task was wrapping Christmas gifts for their residents. On the first day, Rowland said they wrapped gifts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The group felt tired and stressed at times, she said. They tried to wrap footballs, but they were too oddly shaped.

Basketballs were too round. It was difficult.

They tried to lighten the mood. The group played holiday music, and got to know each other. Soon the boring and repetitive tasks became fun. w BREAKS | 8

Rowland said they wrapped up more than 500 gifts for kids at the center. She was floored by how many gifts were donated.

“It was really eye-opening to see how much the community wanted to donate, to see how good of a Christmas these kids were going to have,” she said. “Even if they didn’t have families, they had support of the community (in Charleston).”

One of the more moving aspects of the trip involved interacting with residents, Rowland said. One boy introduced everyone in his group as brothers. If a child wanted a pair of boots or a new game, Rowland and the group knew they would be receiving it.

On the last day, a brother-sister pair were sent off to a foster home with their new foster mother, Sara Perry, CYDC associate vice president of development.

Watching the creation of a brand new family, Rowland and her Alternative Break family celebrated with them.

ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Just north of Rowland, Canton senior Cullan McNamara was leading a break group whose issue was “Access to Sports and Recreation.” They partnered with the YMCA of Western North Carolina.

McNamara played football and wrestled in high school and is involved with intramural sports at CMU. He said he cares about nutrition and health, especially in today’s world where children may be inactive.

The best part about the break was the variety of activities, McNa-

mara said. The group helped with landscaping and built a pit for gaga ball, which is a type of dodgeball that the children were fond of.

They helped clean out a stream and played sports with the kids.

They also helped distribute food. McNamara said this was the first year the YMCA distributed Christmas turkeys. The group surprised families who came to pick up produce with the bird.

When McNamara and a group member dropped the food off in cars, they received applause and hugs.

“They said, ‘thank you for caring about us’ — which is just a crazy moment to think about,” McNamara said. “They were just so appreciative we were there, coming from Michigan, just to help them get that. It was an amazing moment.”

McNamara was a participant for his first alternative break, but decided to be a site leader for this trip — his final one. While he said there is a lot of work to do as a site leader, the feeling you get on a break can’t be recreated, and you leave with 11 new best friends.

“You don’t get to know people in the meetings beforehand but once you get in the van, you just really connect,” McNamara said. “(We played) road games — some people were searching for license plates, some people played card games. When you’re stuck with each other, you start to have good conversations about who you are and what you’re excited for with the trip.”

KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA Grand Rapids junior Payton Shatney has a passion for helping children. Her issue of “Uplifting Children and Families” brought her to central Florida.

Shatney and her group volunteered at the Give Kids the World Village, a place where the Make-A-Wish Foundation sends children with life-threatening illnesses to stay while they attend Walt Disney World, SeaWorld or Universal Studios.

The village itself is a resort with villas, food and carnival rides. The resort runs solely on volunteers, which Shatney said includes 2,000 hours of volunteer work each week.

“It brings a lot of people who are retired in to give them something to do and it gives them life,” Shatney said. “A lot of them were talking about how much joy it brings them to be around kids again.”

Shatney and the group helped serve food and worked in the castle at the village. On the ceiling of the castle, there are over 140,000 stars with the names of each child who has attended the resort.

While Shatney was working in the castle one day, a girl walked in with her grandmother. In 2008, facing a life-threatening illness, she stayed at the resort and placed her star on the ceiling. She returned eight years later to find it.

Management was called and before long, they helped locate her star. Her grandmother began to cry. The girl, who was battling a life-threatening illness in 2008, returned eight years later to find her star.

Shatney said it was a moment of “pure joy.”

“It brought the whole experience full circle,” Shatney said. “It was incredible to see what the

village brought them in 2008 and how it’s still bringing them joy in 2016. That was one of my biggest ‘wow, this is awesome’ moments.”

GETTING INVOLVED Prior to leaving, there are eight group meetings which discuss issue education with a partner within the community they are traveling to, and how to be a good volunteer within the community.

The groups also prepare their own meals in preparation for a minimalistic lifestyle.

Johnson said trips can cost up to $300, but the winter break season ranged from no cost to $176 due to fundraising efforts and travel grants. Travel, meals, lodging and service fees are some of the costs students are expected to cover.

Aniol said Max & Emily’s Eatery provides cheesecakes and Coyer Candle Co. in Midland offers candles for participants to sell.

Can drives and a midnight skate aid the finances.

In addition, CMU pays about 25 percent of the cost for the breaks.

“We’re always looking to the future to see what we can do to meet student demand and see we’re providing quality experiences which are well thought-out and making sure the student leaders who advise the alternative breaks program alongside the university are making good choices on how we can move forward best for the students,” Drevon said.

Only 40 percent of alternative breaks programs across the country are student-led — a small portion CMU is in, Johnson said. When someone at CMU mentions “AB,” Johnson wants to associate that with a quality experience.

“I hope it means students care about learning how to make this

world a better place,” she said. “I have high hopes for the future of our world and how current college students today are going to make that happen.”

Alternative Summer Break signups are slated for 7:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 30 on OrgSync Aniol was looking for something to get involved in his freshman year. He visited the Volunteer Center to learn about different programs.

Six alternative breaks later, he is the leader of the program’s Student Advisory Committee. The program has a saying on the back of its T-shirts this year: “Challenge Yourself, Challenge the World.”

“It’s the idea you’re going out and learning all these things and bringing that back, and taking what you’ve learned and challenging the way the world is,” Aniol said.

New gas tax will cause unneccessary pain at pump

Each time you make a trip to the gas station to fill up your tank this year, you will be paying 7 cents more for each gallon of gas, thanks to Michigan legislators.

Lawmakers voted to raise the state’s gas tax from 19 to 26.3 cents a gallon in 2016 and the state began implementation of the new tax Jan. 1.

The higher tax at the pump now puts Michigan’s gas tax at the fifth highest in the nation. It’s been in the works since Gov. Rick Snyder signed a series of bills in 2015 as part of a $1.2 billion road funding package.

Fees to register cars, vans, light trucks and commercial trucks also increased 20 percent as a part of the road funding package.

Our roadways are in terrible shape thanks to Michigan winters, causing need for near constant repair. However, the increased monetary burden people will experience fueling up won’t be put toward bettering roads for years to come, The Detroit News reported.

Michigan won’t be spending the full additional $1.2 billion annually on roads and bridges until 2021.

This is the first increase in the state gas tax in 20 years — about the entire lifespan of college age students. College students fall into a demographic affected negatively by the gas tax. For students who have to fill up their tank once or twice a week, they will shell out an average of an

extra $55 to $100 at the pump.

More and more members of the Millennial generation have resorted to living with parents and commuting to college instead of living on campus. Traveling extra miles during a long commute is how many cut corners and make getting an education possible. For some commuter students, an added $100 per year is an unneccessary burden.

For almost eight years this admin-

istration has cut taxes for businesses while eliminating tax benefits for families and individuals in the name of job creation. In return, Michiganders have seen an increase in low wage service jobs. Why should we believe that moving more of the burden for road maintenance to drivers will provide a long-term fix for road repairs?

Raising a regressive tax to an unprecedented level should never be

part of the solution. Charging taxes is a necessary inconvenience to fund the government so it can provide public services, but there are better methods to fund patching potholes than raising a tax every citizen must pay at the same level, regardless of their income.

Raising the gas tax puts financial strain on people with lower incomes, because to better yourself in society means getting employment or an education. To be suc-

OPINIONS

Trump Twitter diplomacy brilliant, dangerous leap in negotiation Republican lawmakers attempted to use a vote on House rules last week to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics — an independent watchdog panel that polices Capitol Hill.

News of the motion went viral on Jan. 2. People from both parties were outraged. By the morning of Jan. 3, the idea was demonized and made an unlikely enemy in President-elect Donald J. Trump.

In a fit of Twitter fury, Trump lambasted party leaders for pushing a measure that was diametrically opposed to his half-hearted promise to end Congressional corruption.

Within hours, House Republicans scrapped the plan and decided to keep the panel. It was Trump’s first

Ben Solis Managing Editor

real test in political negotiation. It was highly public and nastily worded — and boy did it work.

Now, observers are left to wonder how Trump transformed his ability to sway opinion with 140 characters or less into an effective strategy for domestic diplomacy. The advancement is fascinating and frightening, creating opportunities and dangerous caveats for both Trump and his successors.

It’s easy to become stupefied by Trump’s apparent mastery of the tweet, or his use of social media to derail complicated policies. However, the tactic isn’t new or particularly nuanced either. The art of direct emotional appeal aided by emerging technologies is the oldest weapon in American politics.

The printing press allowed our Founding Fathers to build support for a federal government. The radio allowed President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to calm Americans in life during wartime. And it was President John F. Kennedy who trounced the formidable Richard Nixon on live TV because he was more attractive and better prepared.

Using social media for anything other than political weaponry seems counter-intuitive for world leaders in the Social Age. The president-elect realized some time before his candidacy that damnations and rare moments of praise on Twitter resonate with average people more than any newspaper op-ed or press conference.

So what if he comes off as a petulant troll? That’s the “art of the deal.” The point was made. People are talking about it, and complex policies went viral because they were spoken in boorish and plain English.

Trump tweets stopped a measure that could harm all Americans. For that, he should be applauded. What makes his tweets dangerous is how

fast they mobilize anger and resentment. And if he can gain support from those outside his base, much like he did with the ethics vote, Trump’s social edicts can quickly become mandate.

The president-elect can try dissenters in the court of public opinion without formal charges or evidence. It’s why he won the primaries, and the election, Russian hacking notwithstanding.

If that’s not the definition of autocratic manipulation, I don’t know what is.

If Trump continues to use social strategies as political leverage, he will undoubtedly deliver on at least one campaign promise to shake up Washington — no matter the outcome, no matter the cost.

DeVos education policies a national failure 23 years in the making On Jan. 11, the U.S. Senate plans to hold a confirmation hearing for Betsy DeVos, who was chosen by Presidentelect Donald Trump to head the Department of Education.

If she is confirmed, one of Michigan’s most prominent champions for charter schools may soon be responsible for policies that affect America’s 50.4 million students in K-12 programs.

Her legacy in education reform represents a lack of support for charter-school accountability and lower standards that are in stark opposition to what millions of parents demand for their children’s education.

It was 23 years ago that DeVos and others made the promise to Michigan residents that it was possible to have better standards and a choice in where their children attended school. This promise culminated in nothing but a resounding failure for the state’s charter school system, and that’s why she, too, should fail her Wednesday confirmation hearing.

Elio Stante Columnist

Accountability to the taxpayers has always been the bedrock of public schools. Michigan’s charter schools are ranked among the worst in accountability because they are not subject to state or federal oversight.

A study by the National Education Policy Center found that charter schools are extremely unlikely to respond to requests for information about funding or student and teacher performance.

The study found that only 20 percent responded to Freedom of Information Act requests, while the other 80 percent did not respond or said they were not legally obligated to respond.

This lack of transparency creates a severe blind spot to anyone who attempts

to hold these schools accountable.

These failures are not simply in the accountability of the charter schools, but also in the higher standards charter schools claim to have. DeVos claimed charter schools would provide students with better teachers and a better learning experience.

Several independent studies have shown that charter schools have a less qualified work force when measured by experience and certification levels.

Michigan charter schools also have a higher teacher turnover rate and work-place dissatisfaction than the national average for public schools.

These failings directly translate to student performance. Nearly half of Michigan’s charter schools ranked in the bottom 25 percent of all public schools in academic performance.

Lower standards, poor treatment of teachers, and poor academic

performance: These are the common threads in DeVos’ vision for education in America. It is a failed experiment that can hopefully serve as a lesson in what not to do if she is confirmed and brings her support for charter schools to the White House.

Student Activity Center renovations to be completed by end of January

By Mitchell Kukulka Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

A $2.7 million Student Activity Center renovation project is expected to be completed by the end of January.

In addition to renovations to the pool area, which has been closed since July 25, the funds will cover the improvement and refurbishment of other aspects of the SAC facility, including hallways, locker rooms and the construction of a single-stall unisex bathroom.

The SAC renovation project was one of nine ongoing projects Facilities Management made progress on during winter break, said Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of Facilities Management.

“Our teams have been overseeing (updates to the pool) with our contract partners, and they’re working to wrap up that project by the end of this month,” Jonathan Webb Webb said.

According to the university website, the pool is scheduled to open on Jan. 15.

Final preparations were made to the Biosciences Building during winter break, which will see student use for the first time when classes begin Jan. 9. The development of the Baseball Performance Center will also be complete by the end of the month.

Installation of new flooring in Trout, Carey, Cobb and Wheeler

residence halls was also completed over break. Renovations included new carpeting in the halls that see the most student traffic.

“When the students are gone, it gives our (custodial) teams the ability to get into areas like the residence halls, dining facilities and academic buildings and do very deep cleaning,” Webb said. “Hopefully when students start getting back, they’ll see nice, clean facilities and a beautiful campus that they can get back into and start studying.”

Facilities Management has staff working on campus year-round. Responsibilities of on-campus staffers include general custodial work and maintenance to ensure buildings and systems are still able to work in spite of weather conditions.

Fraternity becomes fully initiated in Greek community

By Cheyanne Rutterbush Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Phi Delta Theta became a fully initiated fraternity on campus, gaining recognition as full members of the Greek community at Central Michigan University.

Phi Delta Theta has been on campus since November 2015, but is now considered fully initiated. To become a fully initiated chapter, the fraternity must prove to be an important addition to campus and the national organization, which includes high philanthropic involvement with the ALS Foundation, said Walled Lake junior Connor Byrne, chapter historian.

“The experience of chartering Phi Delta Theta at CMU was one I’ll never forget,” said Charlotte junior and chapter President Adam Fisher. “Being the president, I can continue to be involved and help lay the foundation of Phi Delta Theta for many years to follow.”

Byrne said the colony had to present its case for initiation to CMU and Phi Delta Theta in the form of a petition. They showed documentation of their history and actions on campus, as well as their mission statements and the progress the colony has made.

“We are no longer the new guys,” Byrne said.

“We will enter this semester with new goals after being recognized on campus.”

Byrne said having a strong value for CMU’s campus is the most important factor for the fraternity as an organization.

“Making our case (to become fully initiated) was a matter of creating a (positive) image for ourselves on campus,” Byrne said. “We wanted to start building a fraternity on campus that shared common values between its members.

We wanted to show CMU, as well as our na-

tional organization, that we were ready for this next step.”

The national Phi Delta Theta mission extolls, “The pinnacle of fraternal and professional societies, centered on the potential of each brother, the unquenchable thirst for personal development and the lifelong values of friendship, sound learning and rectitude.”

CMU’s Phi Delta Theta chapter has held multiple fundraisers to support the ALS Foundation. In fall 2016, it held the first “Fight for ALS Magic Show.”

The fraternity participated in “Greeks Clean the Streets,” where the Greek community volunteered to remove garbage from the streets of Mount Pleasant. The event helped contribute to supporting research for the advancement of treatment for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Because Gehrig, who died from ALS, was a brother of Phi Delta Theta, the fraternity’s national philanthropy cause is supporting the ALS Foundation. ALS is a disease that attacks the nervous system, weakens muscles and impacts physical function, making it hard to perform essential daily tasks.

“It was very easy to see that everybody was dedicated and wanted to achieve something greater than anything else that was done on campus,” said A.J. Firsht, a Howell sophomore and public relations chair.

The chapter aspires to improve the organization and expand their work in all areas, both locally and nationally.

“Being a founding father was a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Fisher said. “It’s an awesome feeling to help create something that not only I will enjoy being a part of, but those who will follow after in the years to come.”

The fraternity members also strives to help their fellow brothers reach their personal goals

“My experience with this organization has been really fantastic,” Byrne said. “The cultivation of friendship among its members, the acquirement

New Black Lives Matter chapter starts in spring semester

By Evan Sasiela News Editor news@cm-life.com

Black Lives Matter was officially recognized last month by Central Michigan University.

Alyssa Greene, a Hesperia senior and group organizer, said the registered student organization is preparing for its first semester in action starting in Spring 2017.

Detroit junior Jazmyn Williams, the chapter’s president, said Black Lives Matter is a student organization that caters to the needs of all minorities on campus, not only black students.

“The biggest goal for us is to make sure we bring positivity and support to the campus, especially for those of color or anyone who has faced injustice of any type,” Williams said.

Another goal of the group is to educate people on campus about new-age racism, Greene said. She added that the

executive board met on Sunday to discuss plans for the semester, which may include a trip to Washington D.C. to protest the inauguration of Presidentelect Donald Trump.

Williams called Trump a “racist” and “sexist” for his campaign. She wants to provide a platform for minority groups to voice their opinions against the comments of the president-elect.

“As a black woman on campus, I feel like it’s my purpose to comfort those who are scared, especially now that we have a new president who doesn’t have the best interest of any black or brown person,” Williams said.

Andrew Blom, an associate professor of philosophy, said the group formed after he was a member of Community Action for Black Lives Matter — an initiative of the Mount Pleasant Area Diversity Group.

In fall 2015, Blom and the Community Action for Black Lives Matter started a community dialogue follow-

ing high-profile police brutality and injustice cases across the country. The initiative received interest from students who are now part of the RSO. In November, Greene sought out students interested in starting the campus organization. They met in the Bovee University Center to discuss goals and expectations for the new chapter. Later, 10 people did on-the-spot interviews to make their case for leadership positions in the group.

“We took a risk on each other,” Williams said. “I think that’s the most important part of our group so far because we believe in each other enough to put ourselves in these positions.”

Williams said the focus of the chapter is predominantly providing a platform for minorities on campus, but the group is open to people of all ethnicities. If other organizations support the Black Lives Matter chapter on campus, Williams said it will support them.

“I feel I can help the campus because

Andrew Blom | Courtesy Photo Students and community members meet Jan. 22, 2016 as part of the community action for Black Lives Matter at the Bovee University Center.

I feel very passionate about the Black Lives Matter movement as well as the rest of our executive board,” Williams said. “We feel very passionate about what we represent and we want to make sure we are seen in the right light.”

Blom and Amanda Garrison, a professor in the sociology department,

serve as advisers to the group.

“We have an opportunity on a college campus to engage in educational activities and help students to find ways to get involved and make a difference,” he said.

Judge reviews plea, delays Ranzenberger sentencing

By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Federal judge Thomas Ludington delayed the sentencing of a former Central Michigan University faculty member accused of possessing child pornography.

Mark Ranzenberger was to be sentenced Jan. 5 but is now scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 19 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in Bay City.

Ranzenberger taught journalism and broadcast and cinematic arts classes at CMU since 1999.

He previously worked at the Midland Daily News, Huron Daily Tribune and The Morning Sun. Ranzenberger pleaded guilty to one count of possession of

child pornography on Sept. 27.

During that hearing Ranzenberger also admitted sexually assaulting a child multiple times between 1995 and 2002.

The sentencing guidelines for possession of child pornography had been set between 11 and 14 years in prison in exchange for the guilty plea. However, because Ranzenberger admitted to the sexual assault while submitting his plea, the probation officer determined his sentence should include additional time.

Ludington said he was delaying sentencing until he could determine whether the guidelines should be increased.

A sentencing memorandum filed in federal court Dec. 19 by Ranzenberger’s lawyer, Jeffrey

Rupp, asked the judge for leniency.

“Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done,” Rupp wrote, quoting social justice activist Bryan Stevenson. “Despite his age and anticipated period of incarceration, he is eager to move past this and to make amends for his wrongdoing. He wants to seek counseling during and after his incarceration. He wants to continue his education and to obtain a doctorate degree.”

Regardless of federal court sentencing, Ranzenberger will be tried on four counts of first degree sexual conduct in Isabella County Court.

Ranzenberger was arrested May 20 after police found 1,032 images of child pornography in his possession.

PROGRAM BOARD TO BRING HYPNOTIST TO CAMPUS AS FIRST EVENT OF SPRING SEMESTER Program Board is bringing a hypnotist to campus to kick off its spring schedule.

The organization will host “Cards Against Hypnosis” with David Hall at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12 in Plachta Auditorium.

Hall is a hypnotist who has been entertaining audiences since 1998, according to Metropolis Management.

The booking agency’s page states that in “Cards Against Hypnosis” Hall throws a random ball into the crowd and the person who catches it will be shown two large cards — a black card which shows a scenario or skit and a white card with possible outcomes.

Based on what the person chooses, the skit will be performed by hypnotized participants who are onstage.

Program Board

ended the winter semester with “Dating with Dave Ahdoot” on Dec. 6. Damon Brown, director of the Office of Student Activities and Involvement, said in December that Program Board has about $120,000 to work with for the spring semester. A concert is being planned in McGuirk Arena later in the semester.

In addition to Program Board events, other winter entertainment includes Wayside Central’s “Midweek Freak” EDM concert on Thursday, Jan. 12. More than five DJs will perform, including Crowd Cntrl, Skinz, SteVlth and Blackout. Doors open at 9 p.m. with a $5 cover charge.

WINTER CONDITIONS BRING SEASONAL ORDINANCES FOR WEATHER CONDITIONS It’s the winter semester, which means students get a new distraction from their studies — snow.

Mount Pleasant has to plow roads, salt sidewalks and deal with dangerous conditions, and there’s a couple requirements for students during winter weather.

“Most of the questions we get are about two things: parking and snow shoveling,” said City Manager Nancy Ridley.

Parking downtown is prohibited from 4-6 a.m., and is prohibited throughout other parts of the city from 2-5 p.m., Ridley said.

“The reason is so when they do go out and plow the snow there’s less cars they have to work around and less risk those cars will be plowed in,” she said.

Regarding sidewalks, Mount Pleasant has a shoveling ordinance, but only businesses are required to keep the pathways clear.

“However, we highly encourage students to shovel their sidewalks because it’s a good neighborly thing to do even if we don’t have a specific ordinance at this time,” Ridley said.

The city is working to enact a new set of practices when renovating streets that will focus on ease of access and safety.

“We’d know by looking at these best practices what our preferences are: bike lanes, sidewalks, sharing the street, crosswalks and all of the things that make it safer,” Ridley said.

The city also has events coming up to help get everyone through these next cold months, said Ridley.

On Feb. 4, the city will host its third “Man vs Mountain” 5K race. The winter obstacle course, which begins at Nelson Park, challenges participants to fight the cold while racing through Mount Pleasant’s park system. Registrants will receive a free beverage, sweatshirt, pint glass and a pair of Central Michigan University gloves.

“Response has been so good that some of our heat times are already filled up, but we’re still accepting registrations,” Ridley said. “It’s a fun time, especially if you like the nice — cold — weather.”

UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES CONTINUE OFFERING FLU SHOTS, IMMUNIZATIONS ​University Health Services sees a significant increase in patient care during the winter months.

Erik Robinette, director of Faculty Group Practice, said with the prevalence of airborne illnesses and students gathering in small classrooms, the fall and winter months are the “busiest” for the clinics.

Central Michigan University students, staff and faculty can receive immunizations, diagnoses and treatment of illnesses in Foust 202, Troutman 103 and Primary & Specialty Services, located

at 2600 Three Leaves Drive. A new health record called Epic was recently implemented to allow students to see their health records, results and communicate with staff online.

Flu shots are offered at the Foust clinic and the Primary and Specialty Services clinic. Robinette said he is unsure when the shots will stop being administered by University Health Services, but offsite internal medicine practices also offers flu shots.

“Some people get the shot right in the heart of flu season, but we try

to time it before the flu season hits,” he said.

“That way it has time to go through the body.”

The Foust clinic offers more resources than the Towers residence hall clinic, including a larger amount of nurse support given for allergy injections and immunizations.

University Health Services are offered 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday in the Towers and Foust.

Students can call 989774-3055 to schedule an appointment.

PHOTO OF THE DAY Administrators continue discussions to solve $10.6 million deficit

By Sarah Wolpoff News Editor news@cm-life.com

Administrators will continue discussions on how to resolve the $10.6 million budget deficit into January as students and faculty return to campus after winter recess, said Joseph Garrison, Director of Financial Planning and Budgets.

In October, the university reported the budget shortfall increased from $9.8 million to $10.6 million. Administrators said the deficit came from lower than expected student credit hours, as well as a decline in online and satellite course tuition revenues.

Garrison said budget cuts should be expected.

However, details of the proposed cuts have not been decided. Officials have no immediate plans to use tuition to make up their losses.

Tuition is the largest revenue source for the university, Garrison said. The budget is based on anticipated enrollment projections received

annually each February. A reveune center such as enrollment can fluctuate outside the scope of estimations, causing inaccuracies in the projected budget.

Garrison said there will be a better understanding of how the deficit will affect the upcoming year financially after enrollment projections are received in early February.

University officials held no meetings to discuss a budget resolution over winter break when the university was closed, but will continue again throughout the rest of January, Garrison said.

“We are currently working on a plan for resolving the budget deficit,” Garrison said.

“When others return the (first week of Spring 2017 semester), we will be able to resume our discussions. Later this month, the university will roll out a process and timeline for resolving the budget deficit.”

Once a plan is finalized, Garrison added that the university will notify the campus community.

Fading Chips

Football drops bowl game, must replace star quartback

By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Mixed expectations surrounded the Central Michigan football team coming into the 2016 season.

In the Mid-American Conference preseason poll, college football writers predicted the Chippewas to finish fourth in the West Division. CMU fans felt

JAN. 9, 2017 | CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM optimistic with the return of senior quarterback Cooper Rush and the bulk of the nation’s No. 16 defense.

After a wild season, which featured miracles and heartbreaks, the Chippewas finished 6-7 and fifth in the MAC West in Head Coach John Bonamego’s second season.

ROLLER COASTER SEASON Central Michigan could not have looked better to begin the regular season.

After a dominating win against Presbyterian in week one, CMU headed to Stillwater, Oklahoma to face-off against the high-powered Oklahoma State Cowboys, who were ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press Poll at the time. Trailing 27-24 with no time left on the clock due to a controversial penalty on the Cowboys, the heavy-underdog Chippewas were given one last chance.

With fans watching across the country, senior Jesse Kroll caught Rush’s Hail Mary pass and lateraled the ball back to junior Corey Willis, who ran it in for the dramatic win. CMU quickly became the talk of the sports world and “Central Michigan” was even trending on Twitter.

Ben Jared | CMU Athletics Junior wide receiver Mark Chapman runs past a Tulsa defender on Dec. 19 at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida.

Mount Pleasant truly became party central and fans rejoiced over the huge upset.

But the party didn’t last long.

After losing at Virginia two weeks later, CMU returned home to play rival Western Michigan in the “game of the year.” The Broncos, however, rowed the boat straight through Kelly/Shorts Stadium behind quarterback Zach Terrell’s three touchdown passes and came away with a convincing 49-10 victory.

Bonamego was certain the loss wouldn’t break the team’s confidence, but the Chippewas looked like a different team after that. Injuries to Kroll, junior right tackle Derek Edwards, senior safety Tony Annese and junior defensive end Mitch Stanitzek showed the team’s lack of depth, which handicapped the Chippewas for the rest of the season.

CMU ended the regular season losing four of

its last five games, including last-second defeats to a lowly Kent State squad at home and a revitalized Eastern Michigan team in Ypsilanti.

BEACH BOWL BASHING Following a rough 6-6 regular season, CMU was selected to play in the Miami Beach Bowl against Tulsa on Dec. 19.

The Chippewas were to face another highscoring offense from Oklahoma in the Golden Hurricane — who entered with the fourth-best scoring offense in the country.

From the opening kickoff, it was evident that Central Michigan was in way over its head as the team couldn’t find an answer for Tulsa’s no huddle offense. Two first half interceptions thrown by Rush stopped any momentum the Chippewas had and the Golden Hurricane pulled away to a 27-3 halftime lead.

Ben Jared | CMU Athletics Junior tight end Tyler Conklin is comforted after the Chippewas Miami Beach Bowl game on Dec. 19 at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida.

Rush and the offense continued to struggle in the second half, while Tulsa pounded the ball and took deep shots on a Chippewa secondary which was missing junior cornerback Amari Coleman, who was out with an injury. UT running backs D’Angelo Brewer and James Flanders finished with 105 and 100 rushing yards on the day, respectively.

Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans threw for a Miami Beach Bowl-record 304 yards and 5 touchdowns and was named the game’s MVP. The Chippewas season came to an end at 6-7 overall. It was the team’s first losing season since the 2011 campaign.

END OF A LEGACY Rush was up-and-down in his final season under center, in large part due to an offensive line which allowed 38 sacks — second most in

the conference. Rush threw a career-high and MAC-leading 16 interceptions in 2016, while only completing 59 percent of his passes after completing 66 percent in 2015.

Rush finished his career as the second highest passer in MAC history (12,905 yards) behind former Chippewa Dan LeFevour. He also finished second in school history behind LeFevour in passing touchdowns (90) and completed passes (1,022).

Rush said before the bowl game that he and the rest of the seniors were “disappointed” they never delivered a conference championship.

The 6-foot-3 Charlotte native will play in the East/West Shrine Game on Jan. 21 in St. Petersburg, Florida and prepare for the NFL Combine on Feb. 28.

Rush is ranked as the 10th quarterback overall, according to cbssports.com. He is projected to go in either the sixth or seventh round in April’s NFL Draft.

COACHING CHANGES After the bowl game, offensive coordinator Morris Watts retired after serving as the play caller since 2013. Running backs coach Gino Guidugli was selected to replace Watts as the offensive coordinator.

Also, stepping down from the Chippewas’ coaching staff was Mose Rison, assistant head coach and receivers coach.

The Flint native had been on the coaching staff since 2012 after various stints with other college teams as well as NFL coaching positions.

2017 OUTLOOK Only losing 16 seniors to graduation, the

SPORTS

Chippewas will enter the 2017 season with a high amount of returning key players.

Running back Johnathon Ward showed promise as a true freshman and could make a quality tandem with redshirt sophomore Romello Ross, who missed all of 2016 with a torn ACL. At wide receiver, the Chippewas will bring back starters Willis and junior Mark Chapman, along with redshirt freshman Brandon Childress. Junior tight end Tyler Conklin — who caught 42 passes for 560 yards and six touchdowns — also returns.

The only real question on offense is who will start at quarterback. Freshmen Tony Poljan and Austin Hergott, redshirt freshman Jake Johnson and sophomore Tommy Lazarro will battle for the position.

The defense could be the strength of the team next year with the return of juniors Amari Coleman and Josh Cox at cornerback and sophomore Malik Fountain at linebacker. Junior defensive end junior defensive end Joe Ostman — who led the team with 13.5 tackles for loss and 9 sacks — returns to anchor the defensive line.

A lot of expectations will surround Bonamego in year three as the Chippewas will search for the program’s first MAC title since 2009.

The 2017 season begins Aug. 31 against Rhode Island at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Gymnanstics dazzles in season-opening victory

By Travis Olson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Winning three events, junior Katy Clements led the Central Michigan gymnastics team to a tri-meet victory against Wisconsin-Eau Clair and Hamline on Sunday at McGuirk Arena.

The Chippewas finished with a 192.075 score while Eau Clair took second with 188.700. Hamline finished third with 183.875.

Clements led the Chippewas with a 9.900 on both the floor exercise and balance beam and a 9.675 on vault.

Senior Caroline Fitzpatrick shared the top spot with Clements on the beam.

The Chippewas finished 49.025 on floor exercise.

“I think we sold our performances really well on floor,” Clements said. “The energy was high and we loved the crowd today but there’s definitely a lot of things we need to work on.”

Gainsville, Georgia native Clements competed

on beam last year, but Sunday was her first time in the floor event.

“Floor is a brand new event for me and that was an adrenaline rush of no other and it was the time of my life,” she said.

The Chippewas finished with a 47.725 on vault, 47.700 on beam and 47.625 on bars.

“I was very pleased with our floor squad.” said Head Coach Jerry Reighard. “I can’t remember an opener that went 49 on floor. The alarming thing is we begin MAC play next week. Those 47s have to change in the next five practices or we’re going to be in trouble. We have to maintain the 49.”

Freshman Denelle Pedrick competed in all four events in her first meet as a Chippewa. She finished second on floor with a 9.850 and tied for second on vault and bars.

“It was definitely a big step,” Pedrick said. “I came in knowing what I needed to do and knowing what to expect.”

The Chippewas will begin Mid-American Conference play next Sunday Jan. 15 at 1:00 p.m. at Western Michigan.

Women’s basketball starts MAC play undefeated

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After losing its final nonconference contest, the Central Michigan women’s basketball team now finds itself winner of three games in a row with an undefeated Mid-American Conference record.

The Chippewas went 4-1 during winter break, including a win against Big Ten opponent Illinois. They now sit at 11-4 overall and 3-0 in the MAC. The Chippewas opened MAC play with a 91-78 win over Kent State on New Year’s Eve. CMU then defeated Akron, 89-62 Wednesday and topped Buffalo 88-71 Saturday.

Head Coach Sue Guevara

said she was proud of her team’s efforts to start conference play, and thinks these wins will only add to her players confidence.

“Our players are really doing a nice job of following the game plan, and once again, it’s all about being consistent,” she said. “Can we do the same thing each and every game, maybe just shoot the three (pointer) a little bit better?

I’m very happy with our free throws, but we need to do a better job on the boards.”

One player who has started to make their presence felt at the start of MAC play is sophomore guard Presley Hudson.

Hudson scored a combined 92 points during the first three conference games and is averaging 17.6 points per game this

season to lead the Chippewas.

Senior forward Jewel Cotton has started to slowly get back into her role during the past few weeks after dealing with a high ankle sprain. She scored 17 points to help put away Buffalo in the second half.

A couple areas Guevara said she wants to see improvement in is turnovers and rebounding. The Chippewas average 14.9 turnovers per game — good for fourth in the MAC. As for rebounding, CMU is averaging 39.4 boards per game, which is tied for 8th in the MAC. The Chippewas take on Ball State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at McGuirk Arena. The Cardinals enter the game 10-5 overall and 3-0 in the MAC West.

Men’s basketball struggles during winter break

By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After winning four of its last five games heading into winter break, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team was playing some of its best basketball.

The Chippewas pulled out a 106-103 win at Montana State on Dec. 21 and a 90-82 victory at home against Chicago State on Dec. 30, before getting blown out at Eastern Michigan on Jan. 3 and falling short of a comeback at Northern Illinois on Saturday.

The Chippewas entered MidAmerican Conference play as

the nation’s sixth-highest scoring team. After an 85-63 loss at EMU, however, CMU was looking for answers on offense heading to Dekalb, Illinois to play the Huskies.

Trailing by 17 with under five minutes to play, the Chippewas broke out of their slump and rallied to cut the score down to 86-83 with two seconds remaining. Senior guard Josh Kozinski appeared to steal the ball to give CMU one-last shot to tie, but stepped out of bounds and NIU added a free throw to win, 87-83.

“The schedule makers did not do us any favors,” said Head Coach Keno Davis following

the NIU game. “There’s a part of our schedule that isn’t as demanding, but you have to know that in this conference, anybody can beat anybody. I know our guys will be excited about the opportunities we have coming up.”

Junior guard and the nation’s leading scorer Marcus Keene entered MAC play averaging 30.1 points per game, but scored just 14 points against NIU, dropping his average below 30 for the first time this season.

CMU (10-5, 0-2 MAC) will take on Akron at 7 p.m.

Tuesday at McGurik Arena. hippewas then host Toledo at 7 p.m. Friday.
