Snyder talks jobs, sexual assault during State of State address

By Ben Solis Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

LANSING — Gov. Rick Snyder said new college graduates should be optimistic about their career opportunities in Michigan, but made no mention of student loan debt or college affordability during his seventh State of the Sate address.

Snyder delivered updates on the state’s progress and roadblocks going into 2017 on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 17. The term-limited governor hailed the state’s efforts to “create an environment for job creation,” which has amounted to some 500,000 new jobs since he took office in 2010.

According to statistics presented in Snyder’s speech, Michigan is No. 1 in private sector job growth compared to other states in the Great Lakes region. Michigan is also No. 6 in private sector job growth in the nation.

Snyder added there are now more than 200 new career opportunities in Michigan, with “the lowest unemployment rate since 2009.”

“We were a broken state in 2010,” Snyder said.

“The question we heard most often was, ‘Where is there a job?’ (in Michigan). That’s not the question we hear today. It’s, ‘How do I get the training I need to take that job?’”

Josh Barnhart | Staff Photographer Gov. Rick Snyder gives his seventh State of the State address on Jan. 17 at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing.

Snyder said a majority of these new areas are in manufacturing, with more than 116,000 skilled labor positions now open in the state.

Michigan has also seen significant growth in high-tech computer science and robotics jobs — some 90,000 jobs now open around the state.

The governor said more graduates from state universities, community colleges and vocational schools are choosing to stay, work and live in Michigan. In addition, Snyder said the state is attracting more graduates from outside of the region.

“We’ve had five years of population growth in a row,” he said. “We now have the highest netbound inward migration of young people with a bachelor’s degree than any other state in the Great Lakes region.

“They can choose any state in the nation, but they’re choosing us because we have created a climate of success.”

While the governor spoke proudly of his efforts to boost vocational training and K-12 funding, Snyder made no mention of a plan to curb student loan debt, nor any plans to increase state funding to public universities.

Snyder made drastic cuts to public university funding in 2010, his first year in office. He has since worked to increase funding, but that number has yet to reach comparable state support from before 2010.

However, Snyder did pledge to combat a different pervasive issue facing college students: on-campus sexual assault. The governor said First Lady Sue Snyder was continuing her work with the Campus Sexual Assault Grant Program, which gave $500,000 to help universities prevent rape and sexual violence.

Snyder said the grants are being used around the state for prevention programs. He did not give any other details on how these programs were being implemented.

Heavy security, few protesters present at State of the State address

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

LANSING — Only a few people gathered outside Michigan’s Capitol Building to protest Gov. Rick Snyder’s State of the State address Tuesday night.

Lisa Leggio drove from Holland to protest an issue she feels has been an ongoing pattern of Snyder’s administration.

“We can talk about how we’re paying millions of dollars to defend a man who let children get poisoned in Flint, and who shut off water in Detroit,” Leggio said. “He ignores all of the things that we’ve voted against — it’s fascism — this is fascism that we’re protesting.”

Lieutenant Kyle Bowman, commander of State Security Operations, said security preparations have been made in advance of the address.

“Obviously we have a bit more security for tonight,” Bowman said. “At the capitol, on any given day, a large group can show up. We’re not

anticipating anything outside the usual, we’re just here to keep everyone safe.”

Hugh Madden, communications director for Progress Michigan, set up a projector outside Snyder’s office showing a video critical of what the governor has done in office. The video featured video of the Flint Water Crisis, the Detroit Public Schools and events following the 2016 election.

“We’re showing a video describing the real state of the state,” Madden said. “The governor is inside giving his spin on the last six years of complete Republican control, and we’re here to remind him about the many issues that are facing Michigan families.”

Madden said protestors from Flint visited Lansing earlier in the day and thinks rainy weather may have deterred more people from coming out.

“Rick Snyder is still sitting on his chair using tax-payer money to defend himself,” Warren native Sierra Webb said. “He needs to go and he needs to go now. There are so many lives that he has endangered with his reckless decision-making.”

Hand gives forum, claims Coca-Cola funding ‘simply ran out’

By Sarah Clinkscales Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Federal research dollars are down and student tuition is already expensive. West Virginia University’s Dr. Gregory Hand said the solution to increasing research funding is by bringing in outside money from corporations.

Hand was on campus Wednesday to present his case to become CMU’s Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies at an open forum at the Park Library Auditorium.

According to The Carnegie Classification there are three rankings of Doctoral Universities; R1, R2, R3. R1 is the highest level of research, R3 is the moderate level. CMU is an R2 which is a “high level of research activity.” To be ranked

the university has to have awarded at least 20 research or scholarship doctoral degrees.

When Hand started at the University of South Carolina and West Virginia University both schools were Research 2 institutions. Under his leadership the schools advanced to Research 1.

Hand’s vision for CMU would be to focus on the “Three F’s”— Faculty, facilities and focus. Those efforts could, Hand said, be supported with funding from corporations.

“A lot of industries provide money to universities — and we’re talking billions of dollars — because universities have the expertise and faculty and staff that can create innovative and new ideas that these industry scientists simply can’t do,” Hand said.

His efforts to secure funding for his academic pursuits drew the attention of the The New York

Times in 2015. Hand received $806,500 from Coca-Cola for an “energy flux” study in 2011 and $507,000 to establish the Global Energy Balance Network. The non-profit network, which Hand said was created to study weight management and energy balance, announced plans to disband at the end of 2015 —after months of criticism from public health authorities, according to the Times.

“The network simply was trying to connect scientists all over the world who were looking at the behaviors that were causing obesity – which I can tell you is that we eat too much and exercise too little,” Hand said. “Coca-Cola, just like many other industries, has been very active in terms of funding activity related things.

We had a relationship with Coke and asked them for the money.

Coke had absolutely no influence on any of the research.”

have the same stance as the national institutes of health,” Hand said. “We eat too much salt, sugar, fat, we eat huge portion sizes, we don’t move enough. I don’t think there’s any one thing, it’s a combination.

“I want people to know that from a personal perspective, my position is that we need to be more physically active, we need to stop eating so much sugar, salt, and fat, and we need to reduce our portion sizes if we want to have a healthier lifestyle.”

David Ash, interim Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies, presented on

Jan. 9 for the permanent position.

Anne Hornak, a search committee member and chairperson of the Department of Educational Leadership, said both candidates are strong and bring new ideas to the table.

“We’re at an interesting time because we moved to a (Research 2) status recently, but there’s also a decline in terms of external federal dollars,” Hornak said.

“It’s the time to make that move.

They have wonderful ideas to help equipped faculty to help them get funding for research and both have really good ideas to help graduate students.”

The network’s research stated that weight issues were not directly linked to unhealthy diets and sugary drinks, despite other published evidence to the contrary. Global Energy Balance Network represented a group of scientists who regularly published papers. However, no research or studies were authored by Global Energy Balance Network.

“We disbanded because there wasn’t any funding,” Hand said.

“We didn’t have the facilities or the resources to keep it going.”

Thirty-five researchers wrote to the Times that “the scientific nonsense being peddled by the Coca-Cola-funded Global Energy Balance Network is outrageous.”

In June 2016, Hand resigned as the founding dean of the School of Public Health at West Virginia University. He serves as the WVU special assistant to the Vice President for Health Sciences.

Claudia Douglass, vice provost for Academic Effectiveness, is leading of the search committee. Douglass sent a prepared statement to Central Michigan Life last week stating that Hand’s history with Global Energy Balance Network did raise concerns, but that they are confident moving forward with him as a candidate.

Hand said he believes he was portrayed unfairly by the New York Times.

“If you look at anything I’ve ever published it would be difficult to find anything that didn’t

Justice in the eyes of Jeffery Beauregard Sessions III Looking into a man’s past can only show you the path they have taken.

Looking at a man’s present will tell you where he wants to go.

Those voting in favor of confirming of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions as U.S. Attorney General should not look to where he’s been, but to where he wants to take the rule of law in America.

Even though he has dealt with past claims of racism, Sessions should not be judged on his past. He should be judged on the potential of his radical present.

If confirmed to be attorney general, Sessions would have the power to drastically shape the way the Department of Justice conducts itself in regard to marijuana policy and police misconduct.

Elio Stante Columnist

As a senator, Sessions has made himself a fierce and vocal opponent to drug decriminalization. According to Politico, in April of 2016, Sessions was quoted as saying, “Good people don’t smoke marijuana” and it is “not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized.” His vocal opposition and seemingly unchanged stance seems to hint at the fact that he will enforce federal laws that outlaw marijuana, even in states that have

since legalized it for recreational use.

This would be a stark change of policy from the Obama administration, where the Justice Department has followed the Cole Memo, a 2013 memo to all federal attorneys urging them not to bring charges against people in states where recreational marijuana was legal. These states have been able to experiment with regulating recreational marijuana, without interference from the federal government. A Sessions DOJ may soon change that.

Sessions’ support of enforcing federal laws may undo decades of victories in the fight to legalize marijuana, and more recently, he may undo the progress made trying to

reform police misconduct in urban cities and minority neighborhoods.

President-elect Donald Trump has called this push for police reform and accountability a “war on police.” Sessions agrees with this view. In 2015, the U.S. Senate held a hearing called “The War on Police.” Sessions was a member of the panel. He by no means held back in his disdain for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division saying, “There is a perception, not altogether unjustified, that this department, the Civil Rights Division, goes beyond fair and balanced treatment but has an agenda that’s been a troubling issue for a number of years.”

He believes the Civil Rights Division is a hamper to police morale,

and that instances of police misconduct are simply results of “bad eggs,” not systemic problems. As attorney general, Sessions would have the power to roll back the DOJ’s efforts and to possibly stop current investigations into police misconduct.

Sessions’ past charges of racism holds danger, but the true dangers of a Sessions DOJ lie in his present claims. These dangers pose a threat to how the state and federal governments share power and pose a threat to destroying years of travail in exposing police brutality. He may take the Department of Justice on a path that many Americans find unacceptable, as should the U.S. Senate in his confirmation vote.

What would you do if you could re-do the college experience?

During finals week, one of my friends posted on Facebook an innocent question.

“If you could re-do college, what would you do?”

Some commenters wished that they went to another university, began trade school or chose another major. For a brief moment, I interpreted the question as: If I could pick my school of choice over again, would I go elsewhere?

I immediately dismissed it. There was no doubt in my mind that I would choose Central Michigan University again. Looking back to where I was four years ago, I find that claim simply amazing.

Growing up, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to prepare for college at a young age. My parents created a savings fund and instilled in me a strong work ethic and a zest for academic success. Where I was naïve, however, was in my prospects. In a world where marketing and word-of-mouth are king, my family had only heard of Michigan State University and the University of Michigan as the best options for a post-secondary education — which is just a fancy word for college.

Vincent Arandela Columnist

We knew of families who had gone to other schools in Michigan, but when one football Saturday afternoon rolled around, and everyone we knew was dressed up in Green & White or Maize & Blue, it left an impression on my family — these were the schools to aim for.

I am the first child in my family to attend an American college. I am currently on track to be a fourth-generation college graduate on my mom’s side, and a fifth-generation college graduate on my dad’s. My parents both earned Bachelor of Science degrees.

As my high school senior year rolled around, my family had some decisions to make. I was accepted to every college I had applied to in Michigan. Of course, I chose CMU. I am a bit hesitant to admit that my determining factor at the time was cost of attendance. I wasn’t planning on majoring in anything going into my first fall semester, so I didn’t

know anything about the programs that were offered.

I was woefully ignorant to what CMU had to offer me, and sometimes I wonder if I made the safe choice.

Did I pick the right school? Did I choose the right major? When I look back on my time in Mount Pleasant, will I be satisfied with the outcome?

As I saw that question on my Facebook feed, a tidal wave of thoughts and emotions hit me at

once. If I could re-do college, what would I do?

I think back to all of the RSO’s I’ve been involved with, and all the volunteer and travel opportunities presented to me at CMU. Every interaction — small or large, negative or positive — has had an impact on me. I think of all of the wonderful people I have met and grown closer to. Roommates. Teammates. Professors. Peers. Friends. Family.

Every relationship traced back through the underlying decision to come to CMU in search of higher education. Every person on this campus has their own reasons that brought them to Mount Pleasant.

But what keeps you here?

For me, it is largely due to the friends I’ve made — my unrelenting support system.

For them, I would pick CMU every single time.

Meth-related incidents increase in Mount Pleasant area

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

Mount Pleasant Police have seen an uptick in the amount of methamphetamine found in the city. Two men were found separately in possession of the drug and one was found with potential lab equipment.

Jerry Eastman, 42, was arrested Jan. 3 after he was pulled over for not using a turn signal. The officer conducting the stop found drug paraphernalia in the car and, upon searching the vehicle, found equipment that he believed was intended to be used to cook meth.

Eastman admitted a white substance found on a spoon in the car was meth. Police contacted the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team to clean up the equipment and handle the investigation.

Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said police always contact the narcotics team when drug production equipment is found.

Another incident occurred Jan. 5 when William Gonzales, 21, of Mount Pleasant was found

outside the Mount Pleasant Department of Public Safety with what appeared to be a silver revolver, which was actually a BB gun with the safety tip removed. The man was recognized by an officer who approached him. The suspect dropped the gun and ran, only to be apprehended near Gaylord and Elizabeth streets. He was found with 13.9 grams of meth.

Browne said Gonzales did not explain why he was at the police department with a toy gun and drugs.

Gonzales was arraigned Monday on charges of delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine, a 20year felony, possession of meth, a 10-year felony, resisting/obstructing, a two-year felony, and possession of a pneumatic gun, a two-year felony.

Bond was set at 10 percent of $200,000.

City police found a small amount of meth during a Nov. 28 traffic stop on Ward Street. Browne said in an interview shortly after that meth tends to be found in northern Michigan, and that heroine was more typical in Mount Pleasant.

A specific source of the drug is unknown, Browne said.

Local legislators say Snyder needs to support higher-ed

By Ben Solis Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

LANSING — State Rep. Roger Hauck (R-Mount Pleasant) and Sen. Curtis Hertel, Jr. (D-East Lansing) may be on opposite side of Lansing politics, but they do agree on one thing: Gov. Rick Snyder isn’t doing enough to support higher education.

The two legislators commented on funding public universities following Snyder’s 2017 State of the State address on Jan. 17. Snyder made no mention of funding four-year state universities or student loan debt in his speech.

Hauck, who was recently elected to represent Isabella County, and Hertel said they wished the governor spoke more about affordability and student loan debt in his address.

“Thirty years ago, 80 percent of tuition was paid for by the

leagues from both parties talk a lot about affordability, but have failed to come up with a solution to the problem.

“There seems to be this faux

state. That number has flipped, and we wonder why tuition is so expensive. We’re the reason that’s happening.”

anger about tuition costs, but we should look in the mirror,” Hertel said. “It’s our responsibility.”

That’s not to say there isn’t some headway on the issue.

Hertel planned to introduce a Student Loan Tax Credit yesterday. The credit would allow college students to write off the first five years of their loans once they graduate.

“We think that would help, but I still think the No. 1 issue is to fund our schools,” Hertel said.

Hauck, a former small business owner, agreed, taking a conservative approach to explaining the issue of rising tuition and debt.

“We say that if we raise taxes, businesses will pass those costs onto their customers,” Hauck said. “It’s the same with tuition and universities. That’s where we need to stop that and raise funding for higher education.”

Hauck said he plans to work with his colleagues to push through a plan to curb debt. He did not say, however, if he supports Hertel’s tax credit.

SGA president steps up, aims to improve student relations

By Sarah Clinkscales Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

After serving as vice president during the 2016 fall semester, Jazmin Biernat will lead the Student Government Association as president during the spring semester.

The Lake Orion native took over for former SGA President Ian Elliott last month. Biernat graduates in May, giving her one semester to accomplish the goals she’s set for herself and SGA. “I don’t want to leave just my mark, because I’m not that kind of person,” Biernat said. “The goal that my (executive board) is working toward is that everyone on campus is represented.”

On Dec. 5, SGA posted on their Facebook page that “Student Government Association President Ian Elliott announced last week he will be stepping down from his position due to personal reasons and opportunities.”

Biernat declined to comment on Elliott vacating the office or his status as a CMU student, but said the former president “helps as often as he can.”

She said Elliott has made himself available to answer questions about the position.

The new president said she and her executive board are in a unique situation. Because Biernat previously held the vice president position, she will be working closely with new vice president Anna Owens.

Biernat said she appointed Owens to the position because she felt the Midland senior was best for the job and because she has previously served as the Governmental Affairs chair.

Owens has been involved with the Student Government since she was a freshman. She’s held multiple positions including Senate Leader and Governmental Affairs chair last year, working with committees.

“The transition to (vice president) has gone really well because I’ve worked closely with staff members and each committee before,” Owens said.

As well as working with Owens, Biernat’s responsibilities include being the external communicator to the college and the media.

The legislation Biernat said she is passionate about bringing a Gender and Sexuality Center.

Before his resignation, Elliott and Biernat were working toward making plans for the center more concrete. The project has been in the works for the last five years, Biernat said.

“The challenge is getting the university to say yes,” Biernat said.

Biernat said there will be more initiatives around campus to get the student body more involved with SGA, such as suggestion booths and flyers.

“We want to make the school better for the students, and for the students to know that we are here to represent them,” Biernat said.

“I want to help people better understand what (SGA) is as a whole.”

Owens said she plans to run for president following Biernat’s graduation. She added there are challenges when it comes to trying to accomplish big goals in such a short amount of time.

“A challenge is always keeping people focused (through) the end of the semester when it’s warm out and people are getting ready to graduate,” Owens said. “We need to keep people on track so we can follow through with our projects.”

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

A

merica will undergo a transition of power Friday when President Barack Obama leaves office and President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.

At Central Michigan University, the Student Government Association has already gone through its own transition of power — albeit on a smaller scale and more unexpectedly.

SGA President Jazmin Biernat replaced former SGA President Ian Elliott in December after Elliott stepped down before his year-long term was finished due to “personal reasons and opportunities.” Elliott did not graduate and is no longer a CMU student. He could not be reached for comment.

Biernat declined to comment on Elliott’s situation or status as a CMU student but said she still reaches out to him for advice as she leads the organization this semester.

“Every year it’s something different,” Biernat said. “There’s new projects, there’s new people, there’s new ideas

being represented, new students being represented here on campus and SGA does the work that will represent those students, whoever they may be.”

A president leaving midterm is not a rare occurrence according to SGA adviser Shaun Holtgreive. He has full confidence Biernat will get the job done.

“She’s a very bright, capable young woman,” Holtgreive said. “She brings energy and commitment to the job.

She’s going to accomplish more in her short time than most people expect.”

SGA is described by Biernat as “an organization of student representatives on campus that look to address issues that are relevant for everyone.” SGA can work with the Academic Senate and CMU administration to change the academic calendar or propose new ideas to the campus.

Last week the Academic Senate discussed a University Program requirement that would require students to take a course “regarding discrimination against sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion and

or ability.” Biernat said that proposal started as legislation from SGA. In recent years, SGA has passed two pieces of legislation related to veterans, Biernat said. The first would create an orientation session where veterans would learn about resources available to them through the Veteran’s Resource Center. The other involves priority registration for veterans so they can get requirements out of the way in order to take additional classes they need, said Vice President Anna Owens.

While the the two pieces of legislation have not yet been implemented by CMU, Biernat hopes they will be by next year.

SGA tries to meet with CMU President George Ross to discuss concerns.

Biernat organizes dinners through the Office of the President where eight students, not all necessarily from SGA, meet with Ross in his home to discuss a certain theme or topic.

Owens dined with the president three times since she joined SGA in 2013. “(Ross) always wants to listen to (our) concerns and hear about what’s

happening on campus,” she said.

Ross said he meets with the group members several times a month.

“Students are my top priority, and SGA members are their representatives,” Ross said in a written statement.

“I value SGA members’ commitment to their fellow students, their collaboration and their passion for CMU.” SGA was originally known as the CMU Student Council from 1920-47, according to the Clarke Historical Library.

It has undergone several name changes — the Student Senate and the Student Association — before settling on SGA. SGA is divided into a legislative branch and an executive branch. The executive branch comprises about 20 people, Owens said, including the executive board of Biernat, Owens and Treasurer Luke Anderson.

There are two houses that make up the legislative branch — the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House features representatives from registered student organizations on campus who seek funding through

Student Budget Allocation Committee (SBAC), while the elected senators represent different colleges on campus.

Owens said about 150 students represent the student body of CMU through SGA. The students need a voice and SGA is representing the student body on campus, Owens said.

“Them knowing who we are and having a feeling they can come to us with their concerns is one of our primary goals,” Owens said. “It’s so important that we try to get feedback because what we do will affect them and the goal is it will affect them as much as possible.”

The implementation of a Gender and Sexuality Center on campus is a goal SGA is looking to address this semester, Biernat said. She wants CMU administration to guarantee funding so it can start next year.

As for a location, Biernat said the idea is to combine the proposed idea of a Women’s Center with the LGBTQ+ Center to cut down on resource allocation and overall cost. Biernat declined to give specifics on the cost.

SGA has been working to create the

Biernat will attempt to meet with the Office of the Provost and CMU President George Ross to discuss the center during her term, she said.

“I will do everything in my power that I can do and I encourage others in SGA to do everything they can in order to get it implemented as well,” Biernat said.

Senate Leader Emilee Madison said senators junior Evan Wittenbach and sophomore Olivia Cyman are drafting legislation for the Gender and Sexuality Center. She hopes submit to the committees within the next few weeks.

“In the current political climate, it’s very needed right now for our campus and it’s sad that other campuses have it and we don’t,” Madison said.

“We’re going to push for that, our students want it and we want it.”

While Biernat and Owens handle the legislation aspect of SGA, Anderson deals with the budget. SGA is operating on a budget of $17,066.96 for the spring semester.

Anderson is tasked with the allocation of the budget. He said the money is allocated to SGA by CMU through the Campus Programming Fund.

“Part of my job is looking at who spent the most money in which ways and who spent it the best, and try and analyze how we could be using it the

best way for the next year,” Anderson said. “(Legislation and money) go hand-in-hand. One is no more important than the other, but without one you can’t really have the other.”

SGA started the academic year with a $25,000 budget to work with, which was about a $2,000 increase from the 2015-16 academic year.

The group meets from 7-9 p.m. on Mondays in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. Meetings typically start with committee meetings, where House and Senate members split up to join a committee they select at the start of the semester.

Committees include Governmental Affairs, Diversity, Academic Affairs, Spirits and Traditions, RSO Growth and Development, Student Services and Sustainability.

From 8-9 p.m., the House and Senate meet separately to discuss the agenda.

Madison leads the senators, while junior Cody Van Buren is the House Leader. He was re-elected for his second term on Jan. 9 and is charged with giving out information to over 100 RSO representatives seeking money from SBAC for conferences and events for RSOs. Representatives are not allowed to miss more than four meetings a

Senators are allowed two excused absences or be faced with a removal from the Senate pending a two-thirds vote.

Legislation is generally passed through either the committees or through the Senate, Owens said. The House and Senate then vote on the proposal separately.

If it is approved, Biernat will sign it before it is sent to the Academic Senate or a respective department. Biernat said the destination of the legislation varies.

While Biernat said the majority of legislation is sent to the Academic Senate, Biernat said there’s often a lack of communication after legislation is implemented. There’s no alert or notification and nobody specifically reaches out to SGA to go through the details, she said.

Biernat said some of the blame for miscommunication falls upon SGA. There are leadership changes each semester, which mean projects and ideas are dropped and there’s a lack of communication between the leadership in SGA, she said. w SGA | 14

COMMUNICATING TO THE COMMUNITY Students involved with SGA feel they have a good relationship with the administration, but as a whole, Biernat believes the student body doesn’t know who SGA is.

“They have no idea the work SGA does or the way they can get involved,” she said. “The general student who’s not involved I think really has no knowledge on SGA as a whole.”

The goal of SGA under her presidency is to increase outreach, Biernat said. On Facebook, the group promotes events and posts while maintaining a strong presence on other social media platforms such as Twitter.

Students should care because SGA can help change, fix and improve almost everything they love about CMU, Biernat said.

“I think students should know what student government is and they should be able to come to us with issues they have and either work with us or bring us those issues for us to work on in general,” she said.

Madison remembers when Chuck Mahone, former Student Government Association president, spoke to her about SGA at Leadership Safari her freshman year.

Madison couldn’t figure out how to join SGA. When she figured it out last year, she had a class during the meeting time.

In the fall, Madison joined and was elected as a senator. On Jan. 9, she was voted on by her peers as

the Senate Leader, tasked with mentoring 21 senators.

Madison didn’t know where to turn her freshman year. Now, students are turning to her. The senior hopes students on campus turn to SGA to voice their concerns about Central Michigan University.

“It’s not about what your career aspirations are,” Madison said of SGA members. “It’s about if you care about the students and you have things that you are passionate about here at CMU that you want to change.”

FOR ALL STUDENTS Biernat doesn’t want to become a politician.

Rather, she wants to work for a nonprofit. Owens and Madison have ambitions to enter politics while Anderson joined as a representative.

Their paths have crossed to be SGA leaders and leaders for students.

“I think (our leadership) is very goal-oriented and that’s a great thing to see because our top priority is moving the organization forward rather than staying the same or having different goals,” Anderson said.

This semester, Biernat’s last as president, SGA is expanding its Pro-Bono Legal Clinic to include lawyers from the area as opposed to just professors with a law degree.

While Mahone delivered the first-ever State of the Student address last year, Biernat said another will take place in March with a format to be determined.

With Biernat graduating at semester’s end, Owens, Anderson, Van Buren and Madison have enjoyed their time thus far at SGA and hope to continue. Madison said students should want to become involved - no matter in what capacity.

“We aren’t very accessible to students and we want to be,” Madison said of SGA. “Finding ways to reach out to RSOs and get those students who are sort of falling through the cracks so they can learn about SGA, you can come to the meetings and say, ‘This is important to me — I want this to happen.’”

Hudson’s work ethic leads to on-court success

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

For sophomore guard Presley Hudson, breaking the Central Michigan women’s basketball singlegame scoring record wasn’t exactly at the top of her goal list this season.

Instead, Hudson said she likes to focus on winning games more than anything else.

“Breaking the record was a good thing, but I don’t really put much emphasis on it, like ‘Oh my gosh I beat the record,’” Hudson said. “I don’t think about it all the time. It’s just a good milestone for my career, but really I’m just happy I am finding a way to win for my teammates and coaches.”

The Wayland native broke the record last Wednesday scoring 43 points in a 102-91 win against Ball State. The previous mark of 40 points was held by former basketball star and current video coordinator, Shonda Long, in 2011.

Hudson has scored over 30 points in four of her last five games and is averaging 20.1 points per contest. Her scoring outburst helped the Chippewas start the Mid-American Conference season 5-0 and co-leaders in the West Division.

The sophomore guard has also been named MAC West Player of the Week for the past three weeks.

Despite her scoring increase and recognition Hudson has never been a score-first player.

She said she likes to let the scoring come to her rather than trying to force shots.

“I just do what the defense gives me,” she said.

“Whether that be that I’m open every time or if I’m not. I just try to do whatever it takes to win. It could be me scoring a lot or someone else.

“Getting the win is what’s important to me.”

After being selected MAC Freshman of the Year last season, Hudson said having that full year to grow on the court is the main reason she is having success she’s had in her sophomore campaign this year.

“I have that one year of experience in and it teaches me what to expect from the defenses in the game,” she said. “My players and coaches have definitely helped from last year to this year.”

Junior guard Cassie Breen said a lot of Hudson’s success comes from her maturity.

“I played with her all of her freshman year and this year, and it’s definitely a lot more maturity,” Breen said. “You can tell she is getting the feel of running the floor and looking for her shot, not just being a pass-only point guard. The way she plays shows a lot about who she is, (which is) unselfish and knows when to make the right move for the team.”

Head Coach Sue Guevara has watched Hudson

develop into the player she is now. She said Hudson’s performance has come from effort during games and in practice.

“She’s doing a nice job of reading the defense, and I mean the kid’s a grinder. She’s in the gym every single day,” she said. “She’s reading the defense, she’s taking the shots, penetrating, taking step backs, attacking the basket and making free throws. What you are seeing in the game, we see in practice, so it’s no surprise to us.”

Hudson is shooting 45.9 percent from the field, while also shooting 41.9 percent from 3-point territory. She is also averaging a team-high 36.6 minutes per game. From the free-throw line, Hudson is 58for-65 (89.2 percent) on the year, good for second in the MAC behind Northern Illinois’ Mikayla Voigt.

The consistency that Hudson is providing isn’t just from extra time in the gym, Guevara said.

“It’s the confidence that she is playing with,” Guevara said. “In fact, today, I was going to bring the pad to practice and just keep padding her and padding her because she is withstanding so much physicality. She’s not one to have excuses when she makes mistakes. She has scratches on her arms that are not self-inflicted. She’s playing through all of it.”

Guevara said Hudson’s willingness to take contact and push through has only added her ability to be as effective as she is so far this season.

“It’s all a mental toughness that she has,” Guevara said. “When you put in as much work as she has, it pays off with the intangible part of it as much as much as anything else.”

Trice’s transformation from All-American wrestler to MMA fighter

By Dylan Goetz Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

From a former Central Michigan three-time All-American wrestler’s perspective — college wrestling stinks.

“I’m going to be honest with you, I hate (college wrestling),” said former CMU wrestler Jarod Trice. “I think it is the dumbest style of wrestling that you can do, period. We are the only country that competes in it. Freestyle and GrecoRoman style wrestling are the only two styles that people care about.”

Trice explained that in the world of wrestling, folkstyle — the collegiate wrestling style — isn’t popular or used around the world.

He said the only people who care about folkstyle are people in the United States, especially in Iowa.

“They call me the Iowa-killer,” Trice said. “I was never really a fan of folkstyle wrestling, I was just good at it.”

Trice said he had the idea of wanting to fight since 2012. According to the current Mixed Martial Arts fighter, there isn’t much money to be made in a wrestling career.

When it came time to choose between World Wrestling Entertainment and MMA, Trice said the decision wasn’t difficult.

“I ended up taking the MMA route because I still wanted to compete,” he said. “It has been in the making for the last four years. That’s when the idea was put into my head by a couple of MMA fighters who are former wrestlers.”

Because of his success on the mat and his confidence in himself, Trice knew he would be able to compete in the octagon.

“I was basically looking at these guys like ‘I could do this too,’” Trice said. “It’s not too hard and I have the perfect background for it.”

The Highland Park native signed an exclusive multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA on May 2, 2016. Bellator

“(Borrelli) had my back as soon as I stepped on campus. I didn’t take a recruiting trip to CMU, which was unheard of. I actually thought that Mount Pleasant was a place with [expletive] hills.”

FORMER CMU WRESTLER

MMA is a Mixed Martial Arts promotion company founded in 2008.

His contract includes six fights for an undisclosed amount of money.

“It’s a nice amount of money,” Trice said. “A lot of guys probably wouldn’t be getting this amount on their first contract.”

In his MMA debut last December, Trice defeated Tommie Britton by decision at Bellator 167, an event headlined

by Joe Taimanglo and Darrion Caldwell.

the MMA for only six months.

As for his collegiate wresting career, Trice left the sport as one of CMU’s most dominant heavyweights.

Under the nicknamed “Doughboy,” Trice won a Mid-American Conference championship in the heavyweight class.

The Highland Park native finished with more takedowns than Ben Bennett — the first four-time All-American wrestler in CMU’s history — over his six years in Mount Pleasant.

Trice also won two titles at the Mid-

lands Championships, which is one of the most prestigious tournaments in college wrestling, held at Northwestern University.

“It’s kind of his personality. He’s a showman,” said CMU Head Coach Tom Borrelli. “I can see him doing well.”

Trice redshirted his first two years at CMU and earned his first All-American ranking in 2010, placing eighth at the NCAA championships.

Trice said he has a lot of respect for his former coach. In his opinion, Trice said college wrestling’s conditioning might even be harder than MMA if you have a guy like Borrelli “riding you like a horse.”

One of the most important things that Borrelli told Trice was, “you can’t crouch with the owls if you want to soar with the eagles,” a punchline that Borrelli used almost daily during Trice’s wrestling career at CMU. “(Borrelli) had my back as soon as w TRICE | 19

I stepped on campus,” Trice said. “I didn’t take a recruiting trip to CMU, which was unheard of. I actually thought that Mount Pleasant was a place with [expletive] hills.”

According to Trice, Borrelli made a positive impact on the mat and in life. “(Borrelli) helped me grow into a man,” he said. “He taught me a lot of life lessons. He taught us that we have to deal with adversity.”

Trice has used his athletic background to help shape him into the fighter he is now. Before coming to CMU, Trice had the opportunity to go to college to wrestle or play football. In high school, Trice was a two-time wrestling champion at Highland Park Community High School.

On the football team, Trice was an all-state left guard and defensive tackle. One of the first schools that recruited Trice in football was CMU.

Even though he doesn’t compete with the Chippewas anymore, Trice said he is always following the team, even after graduation.

He described his high expectations for sophomore Justin Oliver, who earned his first AllAmerican title last season at the NCAA Championships.

Men’s basketball must find consistency to turn season around It was the same old story for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team Tuesday night.

The Chippewas (11-7, 1-4 MidAmerican Conference) came out of the gates at Ball State with a lot of energy, got out to a big lead and then fell apart — losing 98-83 to the Cardinals in Muncie, Indiana on Tuesday.

Marcus Keene couldn’t miss, others stepped up and made big shots they don’t normally make and the CMU defense was locked-in and playing as a unit.

But then, like most of its defeats this season, the opposing team called a timeout and made adjustments.

After the timeout, Ball State proceeded to go on an 18-0 run to take control of the game. The Chippewas suddenly forgot how to play defense, couldn’t run a play on offense and looked around for answers.

Keene eventually hit a contested la-

In two other losses this season, CMU allowed a 19-0 run at Illinois and a 17-0 against Akron. It was Déjà vu all over again Tuesday.

What’s hard to understand is how a team can look like a MAC contender at times and mediocre at others.

It all comes down to consistency.

The Chippewas lead the MAC and are seventh in the country in scoring offense with 89 points per game.

This is mostly because of the nation’s leading scorer, Keene (28.7), and his back-court counter-part Braylon

Rayson (19.2). The guard combo is the top scoring duo in the country and are impossible to guard when they are on their game.

What’s been great about the duo is that one always seems to be on their game in the first half, while the other carries the team in the second half.

Keene scored 20 points in the first half Tuesday and only had nine after the break. Rayson on the other hand only had five points in the first half, but went for 15 in the second.

The only problem is the team lacks a consistent third option.

When the opposing team makes adjustments, and slows down the goto guard at the moment, where’s the scoring coming from?

David DiLeo has been fantastic off the bench this season (10.1 points per game) and has often been that third option, but you can’t expect that kind of effort out of a freshman every night. The next leading scor-

ers? Cecil Williams (8.7) and Josh Kozinski (7.8).

Great teams usually have at least three and sometimes four scorers on hand when they need a bucket.

Without that, this problem will still plague the Chippewas.

While CMU leads the MAC in offense, it is dead last in the conference in defense and 331 out of 347 teams nationally.

Yeah, not good.

CMU particularly struggles against teams with size. The Chippewas are a smaller squad with Keene and Rayson both coming in at 5-foot-9 and big men Luke Meyer and DaRohn Scott weighing 220 and 230 pounds, respectively.

Big men like Akron’s Isaiah Johnson (290) and Toledo’s Steve Taylor (240) have shown to be too much for Meyer and Scott to handle down low and are almost a guarantee for a layup or foul when they get a

good look. Taller guards can also see over Keene and Rayson fairly easily, which makes shooting and passing over them easier.

There’s obviously nothing the team can do about genetics, but effort and communication need to show up on a more consistent basis.

When the Chippewas are locking down teams to start games, they are moving their feet, switching screens and double-teaming in the post on mismatches.

As soon as a team hits a big shot on them, however, they seem to stop doing all of that and try to engage in a shootout.

If the Chippewas want any hope of turning their season around, they’ll need to make adjustments of their own and fix these issues. Keno Davis is an excellent head coach and has proved time and time again he can hit the right buttons and get the most out of his team.
