Ticket prices for MSU football game set at $55 Event remains free for CMU students By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

Central Michigan football tickets against Michigan State may be impossible to come by for non-students

and season ticket holders. CMU athletics did state students will comprise the largest group of ticket holders for the MSU game on Sept. 8. A committee of student leaders and campus partners will meet to determine allotment and distribution methods. Beginning next year students will now have their campus ID’s scanned while

entering the gates. Students will have to get a digital ticket loaded onto their CMU ID to be scanned on gameday. Season ticket holders and Chippewa Club members will have the first opportunity to buy tickets and CMU athletics expect it will sell out before the general public has the opportunity to buy tickets June 1. After reserving student

seats, contracted seats MSU gets and what athletics is assuming 7,000 tickets to season ticket holders there will not be that many tickets remaining to buy up. The price for the MSU game will be $55 with no discount for anyone. The price last season was $20 for an adult at a single game. This year it will be $22 with premier Western Michigan and Navy games cost-

ing $30 and MSU $55. It is the third time CMU will have in seven home games. “We have a monumental football season ahead of us that is going to provide our fans with a historic opportunity,” said Director of Athletics Dave Heeke. Adult season tickets will cost $160.

Bodies frozen in place turned the heads of passersby in the Central Michigan University Bovee University Center Thursday. The attention was exactly what the frozen bodies wanted. Ten students supporting Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority performed a standstill flash mob at 11 a.m., while wearing red and purple shirts. Their goal was to draw attention to the hand-written messages on their shirts which read either, “He loves me,” “He saved me,” or “Ask me about him,” along with a reference to John 3:16. “The shirts represent no matter who you are and what you do, God loves and wants you to

mixed with sand and dropped in parking lots to help create friction on the ice, Lawrence said. In 2007-08, when Mount Pleasant saw more than 70 inches of snow, the university purchased 900 tons of salt. CMU pays $60 per ton of salt, Lawrence said. Ice, however, is difficult to manage, and salt fails to work when temperatures fall below 15 degrees Fahrenheit. During a string of days last week, lows reached near zero, leaving the salt relatively ineffective. Lawrence said streets with salt and traffic are much more effective than

The university website redesign is close to being completed, but may have to wait until the end of the academic year until it is ready to launch. Vice President for Information Technology Roger Rehm said the purpose of the redesigned website is to target individual audiences instead of flooding them with unnecessary information. ICentral, launched in summer 2010 to replace the former CMU portal, will be replaced with Central Link for student use. The new cmich.edu will be redesigned to serve as a public tool for resources and information on the university, Rehm said. “We are proposing to rebuild the cmich.edu site so it’s specifically for the public,” he said. “Also to build and replace iCentral with a much-broader Central Link site so that it is really constructed specifically for the CMU community.” Renee Walker, associate vice president of public relations and marketing, said a new website has been one of the university’s goals since University President George Ross’ transition to president in 2010. The new site, a $550,000 project that was awarded to Blue Chip Consulting Group, will provide a central location to gather and communicate information that is specific for the user. “There is information the public really wants to know, and we should provide that user experience to get the information they need,” Walker said. “Internally, there is information folks need to know, and we should give them that opportunity to have a good web experience and get the information they need to be successful.” She said most content located on cmich.edu and iCentral, as it stands today, doesn’t hold content in a way that can be used easily. When the new cmich.edu debuts, the iCentral address will

A benches-clearing brawl broke out during the first half of Wednesday night’s women’s basketball game between Central Michigan and Ohio University at McGuirk Arena. Ohio’s Porsha Harris and Central Michigan’s Jas’Mine Bracey were ejected following the altercation, and the Chippewas went on to beat the Bobcats 67-53.

Three suspensions following fight at women’s game By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

Three Central Michigan women’s basketball players are suspended following a fight during a game Wednesday night against Ohio at McGuirk Arena.

CMU forward Jas’Mine Bracey and Ohio forward Porsha Harris started the fight after play had stopped. Both players were ejected. In the aftermath three Chippewas, Jessica Green, Crystal Bradford and Bracey, were suspended for two games by

the Mid-American Conference. Only Harris was suspended for Ohio, also two games. “The behavior of the involved student-athletes was unacceptable and has no place in basketball,” stated MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon

Facilities Management salting less this year By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students and faculty noticed the icy sidewalks and streets when the snow hit last week. Especially Adam Thiesse. The Jackson sophomore has class early in the morning during the week and found himself slipping more times than he would have liked. “The sidewalks are very icy in the morning,” Thiesse said. “I’ve slipped multiple times walking to my 8 a.m. (class).” That’s because Facilities Management has salted sidewalks and parking lots less than prior years. But that’s be-

cause there is less snow than usual and colder temperatures. “This year we have had very little need for salt compared to last year,” said Steve Lawrence, vice president of Facilities Management. “The amount of snowfall has been very small.” One of the things most don’t know is that salt does not work as well when the temperature falls below 15 degrees Fahrenheit, Lawrence said. “They get salted when conditions warrant it,” he said. “When people walk on the sidewalks after it snows, they pack it down, making it harder for FM grounds keepers to shovel it up.”

Facilities Management workers plow and lay salt on lots and sidewalks on campus between midnight and 7 a.m. “Last year we brought in retired FM ground keepers to help when it really snowed,” Lawrence said. “There are three retired grounds keepers that have agreed to come in case they are needed.” Universities, through stategovernment funding, typically buy an abundance of salt per academic year, Lawrence said. CMU normally purchases about 750 tons of salt; 70 percent of which is used on sidewalks and a few selected parking lots. The remainder of the salt is

Not released to public following FOIA request

Prospects are dim that voting totals will be released from the Faculty Association’s contract ratification earlier this month. Any potential emails between Faculty Association President Laura Frey and the Michigan Education Association are sealed, according to Central Michigan University officials. A Freedom of Information Act requested by Central Michigan Life, seeking any email conversation between Frey and the MEA from Jan. 11 to 20, was rejected by General Counsel Manuel Rupe. “This is in accordance with Howell Education Association MEA/NEA v. Howell Board of Education, a Michigan Court of Appeals decision from 2010, which concluded that the release of emails involving internal union communications would only reveal information regarding the affairs of a labor organization, which is not a public body,’” Rupe said in an email. The FOIA request was filed in hopes of determining final vote totals from the recent FA ratification of a contract with CMU on Jan. 12. Three quarters of the FA voted, but totals and numbers have not been released. Members will receive a 1.25-percent raise and a $830 lump sum in 2012-13 and a 1.5-percent raise with a $835 lump sum for the 2013-14 academic year. New faculty members for the College of Medicine will not be a part of the union, according to the agreement.

be a part of the family,” said sorority member Elizza LeJeune, a Detroit senior. The students remained motionless in the Rotunda for five minutes before heading downstairs, where they spent another five minutes frozen in place. Some stood checking their phones. One girl was bent as if tying her shoe. Detroit senior Melody Brown filmed the flash mob on her iPad. She said it was fun watching people walk by, then stop when they noticed the frozen bodies. “I saw people doing doubletakes,” she said. “They were smiling and looking on.” Warren junior Mike Wilson was working at Microchips when he caught sight of frozen people standing outside his door. Wilson did not know why they were fro-

zen, but said it was interesting. “It reminded me of the flash mobs that you see online,” Wilson said. “I also thought it maybe was an art project.” Steven Lambert, a CMU alumnus from Grand Rapids, said he knew it was a flash mob when he saw bodies in matching shirts freeze. Like Wilson, Lambert said he was uncertain about the message until he saw the verse on the shirts. “I saw ‘John 3:16,’ so I’m guessing it was some sort of faith-based group,” Lambert said. “I saw it and was like, ‘Oh, OK. Something’s going on.’” Sorority member Maquia Agnew said the group’s idea for a flash mob came after watching a flash mob video done by Grand A MOB | 2

The Mathematics Department at Central Michigan University supports the vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro. In a vote conducted by the department Thursday, 92 percent of faculty members stand behind the Academic Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 52-percent majority vote at the Dec. 6 meeting. At the request of the voters, specific counts are not being shared. Mathematics faculty member Donna Ericksen said she hopes the vote doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go unnoticed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are more than just a few disgruntled people that have a problem with the (administra-

The request follows many FA members asking why the vote totals were not made public following the ratification vote on Jan. 11 and 12. In an email dated Tuesday from Frey to FA members, Frey said the vote totals would not be released. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main advantage of releasing this information is transparency with all FA members,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main disadvantage is that this information can be misinterpreted and also

The Mathematics Department has no plans to take any more action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to see the board of trustees take note of the fact that many faculty members on this campus do not have confidence in the leadership of this university,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest is up to them.â&#x20AC;? Math is the fifth academic department to endorse the Dec. 7 vote of no confidence. The sociology, anthropology and social work, philosophy and religion, political science and foreign languages departments have since passed faculty votes endorsing the vote.

In the email, she told members that the FA executive board made the final decision to not release the votes, and although the board was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly evenly divided,â&#x20AC;? the motion to release the vote totals failed. Frey would not give CM Life the total number of members on the executive board, but said there are representatives from each college, an affirmative action representative (unrelated to CMU), the treasurer, secre-

tary, president, president-elect, past president and several MEA elected representatives. She would not comment on how close the vote total to release the numbers was, and said the MEA does not know the voting totals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not confirming any of the details regarding the vote that was taken or the composition of the board at that meeting,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Rehm said. Students will be able to personalize the system to their major, with access to grades and

Mary Jane Flanagan, executive assistant to the President Ross, said Central Link will give people new opportunities that iCentral wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capable of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be some really cool tools that will give each of us (the ability) to personalize the site to fit our needs,â&#x20AC;?

sidewalks, because of the constant movement of cars. If salt isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being moved around, it just sits in one place and bores holes into the ice instead of melting it completely, he said. The FM grounds keepers have to take into account the moisture content and wind, not just the amount of snowfall. Given the recent oddball weather conditions, Howell freshman Katelyn Beno said she has found the university prepared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple of nights ago it rained. I was hoping they

would salt the sidewalks before it froze, and they did,â&#x20AC;? Beno said. Kaitlin Slack, a Howell sophomore who works at the Help Desk in the Fabiano/ Emmons/Woldt lobby, had to shovel some of the sidewalks one night during her midnight shift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last semester we really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do it,â&#x20AC;? Slack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far, I have only had to do one snow shift.â&#x20AC;? The desk is now instructed to shovel at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. when it snows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been too bad,â&#x20AC;? Slack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I have 8 a.m. (classes), so it probably snows before they can go out and shovel.â&#x20AC;?

Central Magazine. The Ypsilanti senior said they wanted to spread awareness of the Christian message using a similar approach. Only three of the 10 frozen bodies were actually Alpha Lambda Omega sorority members. Agnew said their group only has four members, and the other seven were friends who came to show support. Although the 10 students are part of different church groups, they all meet together at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays in the UCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake Erie Room for Bible study. studentlife@cm-life.com

Child abuse rates slightly exceed statewide trends 40-percent jump in past decade of neglect issues By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Helping Hands Mid-Michigan Industries partners with students to help disabled residents By Jessica Fecteau | Senior Reporter

Thirty-two year old Heather Naessens bounced her knees as she adjusted herself into the warrior pose. “Shake it, but don’t break it!” the Mount Pleasant resident joked to her fellow developmentally-disabled participants as a chuckle broke out in the room. This was Naessens’ second time participating in Mid-Michigan Industries’ weekly yoga class this semester, led by Central Michigan University student volunteers. “I am volunteering here as part of the 180 hours required for therapeutic recreation majors,” said Bay City junior Maeling Groya. The yoga facilitator said it’s rewarding to give people with developmental disabilities the opportunity to engage in yoga. There are about 90 people, ranging from in age from 18 to 81 years old, who are guided under Mid-Michigan Industries’ mission of enriching lives through employment, training and community, said Community Connections Supervisor Laurie Matties.

There are about 90 people, ranging from in age from 18 to 81 years old, who are guided under Mid-Michigan Industries’ mission of enriching lives through employment, training and community, said Community Connections Supervisor Laurie Matties. “We work with a lot of different people who just either want employment or to access their community and want some training,” she said. “This particular program focuses on leisure and volunteer activities.” Mount Pleasant resident Dawn Feltin demonstrated the “tree” pose as she described her favorite part of the hourlong yoga session. “I also like stretching your legs and breathing in my belly,” the 43-year-old said. New Baltimore sophomore Nicole Socia said she finds doing the work rewarding. “I’ve never worked this closely with adults with disabilities,” she said. “You get to know how

to handle it as a recreation therapist, and I think it’s good to know that in advance.” With a loose grip on her chair, Naessens transitioned herself to a seat on the floor and began reaching for her pointed toes. “Stretch those legs,” Groya instructed. The group of 11 followed every move of the CMU students, who positioned themselves around the room, lending a hand of assistance if necessary. “You always have to be on your toes,” Groya said. In preparation for the Special Olympics, 51-year-old Mount Pleasant resident Danny McGenuis said yoga will help him get ready. Matties said the participants benefit from doing the gentle exercise. “This has truly been a winwin situation for us,” Matties said. “The students have made some great friendships with the persons served.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Safety against stalking pushed during Wednesday night SAPA presentation By Kelsey De Haan Staff Reporter

The Charles V. Park Library opened its auditorium doors Wednesday to the Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates’ presentation of “Always There: A Program About the Dangers of Stalking.” The hour-long seminar was lead by SAPA members, including programming coordinator Paul Carbini, who stressed the purpose of the presentation was to educate people about potential threats stalking creates. “People don’t really know how common it is, or how dangerous it really is,” Carbini said. “We are just hoping to educate the people that will come, and to get the word out there.”

When asked why she decided to come out to SAPA’s event, Indiana freshman Heather Hadden said, “I had heard about it and I thought it would be cool. I have been to other SAPA events, and I liked them a lot.” Hadden said she is not concerned with the issue of being stalked on campus, though she uses caution when communicating with strangers. “I try to watch who I give my phone number out to, and my full name,” she said. “Especially now being in college if I don’t know you on sites like Facebook, I’m not going to add you, because you just never know.” SAPA members defined what stalking is through a series of video clips, definitions and statistics.

Isabella County is following the statewide trend of an increase in child abuse and neglect with a 40 percent jump in the past decade. Michigan has jumped 34 percent in the past decade because of family stress associated with poverty, according to an annual Kids Count in Michigan report. In Michigan, 32,500 children were confirmed as victims of abuse and neglect with four out of five children suffering from neglect in 2010. The report said poverty is a threat to children, as they may experience hunger, abuse, neglect, extreme stress, depression or anxiety. The rate of children living in extreme poverty, which is defined as a household income of less than $11,000 a year in a family of four, jumped from 5 to 11 percent. Mark Stevens, Isabella County director of the Department of Human Services, said normally bad economic times put substantial stress on families. “The increase (of child neglect and abuse) in Isabella County was higher than the state,” he said. There are measures and programs being done to address the issue of abuse and neglect, Stevens said.

“In the last year, there were 800 child welfare staff to address the problem,” he said. Statewide, half of public school children qualify for free and reduced lunches, a 36-percent jump from 2006. Food Service Manager Scott Jayne said as of December, 39 percent of students qualified for free or reduced lunches in the district of Mount Pleasant. The departments have responded by food assistance and medical relief. They have also expanded the family preservation funding in areas of the state with need, Stevens said. “We have also provided families in Isabella County access to Michigan Works that helps (them) find jobs,” he said. As the economy gets better, abuse and neglect rates decrease, he said. “It’s very important we do well … Michigan is trying to turn the corner on that,” he said. Studies have found that a family income of at least $44,226 is considered 200 percent above poverty and assistance is not needed, according to the report. Although the abuse and neglect rate has jumped, the findings were not all negative. There were fewer births to teens, fewer teen deaths and fewer high school dropouts. There was also a small improvement in the infant mortality rate between 2000 and 2009. metro@cm-life.com

CMU broadcast staff raises competitive concerns over MSU services merger By David Oltean Senior Reporter

After Michigan State University merged its public broadcasting services with the College of Communication Arts and Sciences last summer, some Central Michigan University broadcasting professors have expressed concerns about competition in the mid-Michigan area. The merger, which happened last July, has given many competitive advantages to MSU, including the capability of paying their employees at broadcast stations WKAR-TV and Radio. Some members of the CMU school of broadcast and cinematic arts believe they could be at a disadvantage from a recruiting standpoint, as more MSU students now have access to better facilities and opportunities. Peter Orlik, director of the school of broadcast and cinematic arts, said the merger gives MSU three major comparative advantages: Better facilities, a large engineering staff and more opportunities to be on the air. “What they now have with their reorganization is Michigan State students, No. 1, have access to far more and far better facilities to hone their craft in,” Orlik said. “At the same time, they have support from a much larger engineering staff, so when things go bad, they can be fixed much more quickly. Third, this gives their students more air opportunities on much bigger stations, so you now have student shows on WKAR-TV and WKAR FM.” Orlik said from a recruiting standpoint, MSU also has a large advantage because of the capability to pay many of their student employees. “By reworking their finances, they’re now in a position to pay a lot more of their students who are working in the facilities as student employees,” Orlik said. “We have no student employee

budget. All of our students are strictly volunteers.” BCA professor Rick Sykes, a member of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters Foundation, said the merger has raised concerns for the department. “The merger of their public broadcasting program with their communication school creates another dynamic in terms of how they maximize resources,” Sykes said. “Any good competitor will tell you when the environment changes, you need to look at how you can change to remain competitive in that environment.” Sykes said despite MSU’s growing broadcasting program, the CMU BCA department still offers an experience to students that mirrors the industry and has won awards for a decade straight. “My charge is to create a co-curricular experience for the students in our program unequaled in the state,” Sykes said. “Right now, we are in three counties and more than a dozen communities, and we have a very strong and ever-developing social media component.” Berkley senior Robert Cameron is the former music director for WMHW 91.5 FM and is working on becoming a producer for Moore Hall TV this semester. Cameron said it’s unfortunate that broadcast student employees don’t receive pay, but the professional experience makes the work worth it. “With the time we put in, I wish we could get paid,” Cameron said. “But it’s still fun just to get the experience and do the work and see the finished product.” Cameron said despite funding advantages MSU may have, he and other CMU students still believe highly in the broadcast department. “We still believe we’re the best in Michigan,” Cameron said. university@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Website redesign issues avoidable

Web waste

he redesign of cmich.edu, Central Michigan University’s electronic face to the world, has taken an unreasonable amount of time and money. The worst part is that the $550,000 and nearly sevenmonth delay since it was pushed back from its August release date could have easily been avoided. Cmich.edu’s current iteration is confusing at best and broken at worst for users hoping to find anything but the most common

information. Three or four different pages seem to exist for any given topic, with the most relevant and useful of them often buried in search results. Different departments and programs exist in wildly different places, with no coherent

structure or common design. There can be no question that the site was long since due for an overhaul. But CMU is privileged to retain a very competent Office of Information Technology. The full-time professionals employed by CMU could, with aid from consultants and computer science and information technology interns, have easily brought the site up to par with modern expectations of design and user experience — saving thousands and providing valuable real-world experience for students. This is a clear example of administrators being unfamiliar

with the technology and throwing money at a problem rather than using our own resources — not unlike out-of-touch congressional representatives signing off on SOPA without bothering to familiarize themselves with its technological implications. By placing the project in the hands of a outside entity, the school has decided in favor of professional experience rather than familiarity with the campus and university, something that may ultimately backfire. All of this would be excusable if the new and improved cmich.edu had launched by now. However, there is still no hard deadline for the site’s launch.

Strong State of the Union On Tuesday, President Barack Obama gave his third State of the Union address. The President mentioned accomplishments in the Middle East, including removing combat troops from Iraq, something Democrats are happy about, even if it is later than his original deadline. He mentioned the killing of Osama bin Laden, a military accomplishment most Americans welcomed. He touted the recovery of the automotive industry, saying, “the American auto industry is back.” In taking credit for this, however, he contradicted a principle later in his speech when he told financial institutions that “the rest of us are not bailing you out ever again.” Either you believe in bailouts or you don’t, otherwise it is just hypocritical. He went on to encourage Congress to pass laws to limit and remove the foreign tax credits available to corporations, which is something that should have been done a long time ago, not only to help Americans secure jobs, but also to bring additional revenue to the government. On the subject of jobs, he encouraged Congress to eliminate regulations that harm businesses without providing a useful purpose. This is long overdue, and members of both parties should be willing to do this to promote job creation. Education played a smaller role in his speech than it has before, but he did mention the importance of keeping tuition low and told universities, “If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.” Here in Michigan, the state government employed a similar tactic, and it worked in limiting the amount tuition went up. On the topic of energy, he mentioned some positive steps forward in natural gas, battery and wind turbine technology, but highlighted that we still pay subsidies to oil companies. The President is right — we need to end these. Not only are they a waste of money, but they unnaturally lower the price of gas, meaning that Americans are more willing to remain dependent on it. The last major domestic policy issue he addressed was eliminating “subsidies” for millionaires, something Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., addressed in a report he recently released. Obama and Coburn are 100-percent right — there is absolutely no reason taxpayers should pay millionaires unemployment and other benefits; that is not what the programs were designed for. Obama then turned sights toward Congress, he first encouraged them to eliminate the ability to own stocks in industries they impact, then blasted the overuse of the filibuster, and finally criticized “clinging to rigid ideologies.” All three criticisms are accurate, and fixing these would do wonders for the nation. The biggest thing his speech lacked was how he plans to help the economy recover while lowering the deficit, and not including that was a huge mistake, since those will be the key campaign issues this year. That being said, the speech was his best so far, and his chances for re-election are looking higher than at this point last year.

[YOUR VOICE] Comments in response to “Two players ejected in women’s basketball brawl; CMU beats Ohio 67-53” the truth shall set us free, Wednesday This should be cleared up with the fight. The Ohio player got tangled with Jasmine at the media time out and the Ohio player took exception to it and swung at Jasmine and the Ohio player got ejected for fighting and Jasmine got ejected for a Flagrant 2 for retaliating .They both threw punches yes and that is unacceptable . But don’t make it sound like we got some thugs on the court and that it wasn’t provoked and know the facts of what and who and how it happened. It gives a bad light on program when you generalize and don’t report everything. WomensBBrawl, Wednesday I agree with the above comment. My biggest issue isnt with the reporting, since I was at the game and missed the beginning of the incident. But with one Mr. Heeke, who wasnt even in the building at the time of the “fight” but showed up afterwards and with the “Crowd Management” or what ever you would like to call it. How does a parent get on the court, granted she was doing her best to diffuse the situation but still. I’m not saying the behavior was acceptable, but there comes a point when you have to defend yourself, which was what Jasmine was doing. Megan, Thursday “Jas’Mine Bracey and Ohio junior forward Porsha Harris started a fight on the court. Punches were thrown by several players, benches were cleared and both Bracey and Harris were ejected from the game” How can two players start a fight? Sure there could be words exchanged but it takes ONE person to initiate the physical fight. “Punches were thrown by several players.” That entire paragraph sounds like gossip. Overall, this is a poorly written article.

Cmu2983, Thursday Yikes. I was not at last night’s game, but ... I assume Bracey will be suspended, but from the looks of things, Bradford might be in line for a suspension as well. Not what we need with Bowling Green coming to town Saturday, but if you do the crime, you gotta do the time. Women’s Brawl, Thursday As far as “Crowd Management” there is nothing that any person can do in McGuirk Arena to stop someone from getting on the court. Look how close the seating is to the benches and to the court, especially the VIP seating. You would need a wall or a greater amount of security personnel. Yet, even with more personnel it’s not like you can have them standing in front of t spectators, which is what you would have to do to be 100 percent certain that no one would be able to get on the court. Furthermore, staff is not allowed to physically touch anyone. Police Officers are the only ones who are allowed to do so. Comments in response to “SGA putting proposal for unicameral system on general elections ballot” Reader, Wednesday Will this reduce costs? SGA gets a heck of a lot of money and produces very little value for money. Rep09, Wednesday over 75% of the money they get goes to SBAC funding...which provides money to RSO’s on campus. Very little of their money stays with SGA. Get your facts together. The 99 Percent, Thursday SGA gets money to pay the president and vice president, even though they generally already receive scholarships and financial aid and thus don’t need the salary and perks. The SBAC money could totally be cut signficantly. It just goes to the same groups -- the same students. How does paying for a group’s vacation to some

big-city for a conference benefit the student body? All it does is reward the nerds and geeks who have the time to do nothing but SGA while they’re a student. What about the student programming expenses? Most of the entertainers and speakers that are brought face near-empty audiences. That could totally be cut, if not eliminated. The fact remains that SGA is totally irrevelant to the vast majority -the 99% -- of students at CMU. Comments in response to “COLUMN: Republicans played cards wrong with Keystone pipeline” Creative_destruction, Wednesday Nathan, don’t blame the Republicans. Obama owns this cluster !&%4. It also now seems that Obama’s billionaire buddy Warren Buffett stood to make millions on the cancellation of the pipeline project. More Chicago style politics from the gangster and chief in the White House Michmediaperson, Wednesday Creative, you’re right. The Washington Times story is on Drudge. Buffett makes a boatload of money now since Obama said no. Deals with Buffett’s railroad. Buffett, a Democrat, a Liberal and Obama lover gets richer. Rest of us get poorer!!! That’s Barack Hussein Obama. I_Was_A_Teenage_McCarthyist, Thursday Their are more jobs on the moon. Oil and petroleum are dead gods. We are just hopelessly stuck to them because it is too profitable for the bourgeois Creative_destruction, Thursday teenage: I suggest your unplug yourself from the Marxist/green propaganda machine and take a long hard look at the realities of energy use and production in the United States and the World.

‘The Bachelor’ entertainment

They say the first step is admitting. Therefore, I have a confession to make: I love watching “The Bachelor.” Call it a guilty pleasure or an embarrassing one, either way, two hours of my Monday nights are dedicated to the reality show. I mean, how could I not fall susceptible to the preview commercials saying it’s the most (insert enticing word here) season yet? Seeing 25 desperate women fight, cry and throw themselves at their “dream guy” just fills my heart with pure entertainment. Never being a big fan of fist pumping, I have gravitated toward watching these women be degraded on national television. It never fails to make me cringe in delight as they take the walk of rejection back to the mysterious black limo and spoon feed encouragement to every person who stereotypes women. “I really thought he was the one,” each women says as she sobs into the camera. I can’t help but laugh at how 25 different women magically “fall in love” with this season’s Bachelor, Ben, after simply speaking with him. I mean, it doesn’t hurt that he’s pretty cute, owns a vineyard and is handing out free roses, but to claim love at first sight exists is almost worse than going on the show in the first place. And this is why I love it. Totally “normal” people kissing, dating and falling for the same guy that their bunk buddy is also swooning over? This is definitely the perfect way to fall in love. Many often claim this show is their last resort on their search for love. Does that mean 24 of them go home and become cat ladies? After 16 seasons, that’s a lot of cats. The only reason I could see myself signing up to commit public social suicide is for the traveling these people get to experience for free. From St. Lucia to Paris, I’d be down to entertain America with a few cat fights just to make it to the next dream destination; not to mention the dates they go on. Yes, it’s a dream world out there for contestants. A dream world that comes crashing down after the cameras, lights and makeup crew disappear, and they’re left with bills, a job and a guy who doesn’t take you on dates to the Eiffel Tower anymore. Otherwise known as real people problems. No wonder only one couple has made it through marriage and children while still going strong. And yes, I am not counting Jason who chose one girl then went back on his decision and married the runner-up he first sent home. But in the end, if there’s just no hope in finding love on this reality TV show, there’s always the Bachelor Pad.

Dancer battles injury, scheduled to perform with University Theatre’s Dance Company By Ashley Raymond Staff Reporter

Fraser senior Eric Miller first found himself through movement in Central Michigan University Theatre’s Dance Company. Despite a recent ankle injury, Miller dedicates at least three days a week to dance. Through the company, he is required to learn a new choreographed routine every Sunday, taught by the faculty, as well as work at his own pieces throughout the week. “I’m an extremely active and independent person, so being on crutches has made me rely on other people for support, and I was really unable to do anything,” Miller said. “It took me twice as long as normal to get to my classes when on crutches, and then I needed to find entrances with the handicap helper button.” Miller said he will be back in his dance shoes next week practicing for one of the three pieces he’s in this spring. “Just yesterday Eric kept telling me how horrible it is to not be able to practice,” said Miller’s boyfriend, former CMU student James Glosch. “He just wants to be there and be a part of the creative process that goes into choreographing and dancing.” Miller was first introduced to performing when his major in theater required him to take dance classes. Through the classes, he said he found it easy to express himself in his movements, and considers it therapeutic. “One semester I was taking three classes of dance and loving it, so I figured I’d audition for Central’s dance company,” Miller said. Each year, the company has more than 50 students audi-

SAPA members said technology has created the easiest way to become prey to stalkers. As the seminar came to a close, SAPA members suggested steps that could be taken when dealing with a stalker. The group offers a 24/7 help line, as well as an online chat that provides free, confidential support. “Safety, safety, safety … it cannot be stressed enough,” is the message one member of SAPA repeated during the presentation. When the presentation finally came to an end, Director of Sexual Aggression

Services Stephen Thompson said he was very proud of his SAPA team. “They know their stuff,” Thompson said. “Whatever the topic, if it relates to sexual aggression, they can talk about it.” Thompson said he hopes the campus community, with help from SAPA, will rid themselves of the “bystander” mentality. “We don’t want the audience to take this for granted, or think it’s no big deal,” Thompson said. “If something is wrong, we have to notice, interpret and then act upon it. That’s the process we want to engage people in. That’s what we’re here to do.” studentlife@cm-life.com

tion for a spot in the 44-member company. “Members come from all different ability, backgrounds and majors,” said Dance Instructor Heather Trommer-Beardslee. “The company looks at technical skill and the ability of the dancer to put themself in a dance.” Miller is a former participant of the Disney internship program and is now looking forward to returning to the Disney stage to audition to be a dancer at a theme park, resort or cruise ship. Miller said his only worry about the audition is meeting the height requirements. “I’m on the low end of the height spectrum,” Miller said. “But my confidence in my move-

ment allows me to be the best dancer I can be. It allows me to be more expressive and emotional in my dance physically and mentally.” This past fall Miller was one of 12 student dance choreographers to put on a show for the company. He said he enjoyed it because going through the choreographic process allowed him to a see a different side of dancing than performing allows. “Often times when we’re in the car together listening to music, I’ll look over at him and his eyes are closed as he listens,” Glosch said. “When I ask him what he’s doing, he tells me he’s choreographing in his head. He doesn’t just hear music; he’s always thinking about

how a certain song would play out on stage.” Ohio junior Karen Opper cochoreographed with Miller and has been dancing with him since he became a part of the company. “Working with Eric for the student-choreographed showcase was absolutely wonderful; he has so many great ideas,” Opper said. “He saw details I didn’t, and pushed the intention of our piece to the limits.” Miller said joining the company has been one of the best things he has done in college. “It’s made me not only a better dancer, but a better performer and actor as well,” he said.

Siblings Weekend returns Feb. 3, several activities planned throughout campus By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

The weekend of Feb. 3 will bring thousands of siblings, a night club in the Bovee University Center and inflatable games in the Student Activity Center to campus. With Siblings Weekend right around the corner at Central Michigan University, every hall on campus is preparing for its guests. Robert Dolecki, Farmington Hills senior and cochairman of Sibs Weekend, said a variety of events have been planned for the weekend using the $57,000 budget. “We start the weekend with a life-sized version of the board game LIFE on Friday afternoon. Then, we’re offering a choice of three movies

for the night,” Dolecki said. “On Saturday, we kick off the day with a huge pancake breakfast and host a carnival in Finch Fieldhouse for the afternoon. At 10 p.m., Club Bovee will be held in the University Center until about 1 a.m. There will be karaoke, dancing and board games. It should be a great time.” Andrea Purrenhage, Residence Hall Director at Larzelere Hall, said rules and regulations in the dorms remain the same during the weekend. “Each room can still only have 10 people staying in it for the weekend,” she said. “Drug and alcohol policies are the same as any other day and, as always, students are responsible for the actions of their guests.”

Canton freshman Bridget McEvilly is having her 16-year-old brother stay with her for the weekend. “He seems excited about it,” she said. “He decided on his own that he wanted to come. My parents didn’t make him or anything. I’m going to let him see the activities planned and if he wants to do anything, we can, and if not, we’ll find other things to do.” Though a lot of the planned activities are geared toward younger siblings, there are other experiences for older students. “Siblings Weekend is all about the experience the student can provide,” Dolecki said. “You create the experience and it’s unique for each person. For some siblings, just being in a dorm

room with three strangers is a lot of fun, and for others, ordering Menna’s or pizza at 3 a.m. is a blast. It’s all about new experiences and sharing those times with your sibling.” McEvilly said planning something for older siblings would make the weekend more appealing. “I think they should include activities for younger kids, but include some tours or something for older kids to come to,” she said. “A lot of siblings who come are looking to go to Central one day, so it would be nice to offer things like that for them. I’m going to use the weekend to show my brother that it’s fun to be here and hopefully make him want to come to (CMU).” studentlife@cm-life.com

SGA to host dinner for community By Octavia Carson Staff Reporter

The Student Government Association’s spirits and traditions committee will host a community dinner on Monday at the Wesley Center 1400 S. Washington St. “It’s something we wanted to start last semester, but last semester was too short,” said Waterford junior Jackie Maggioncalda. Maggioncalda proposed the idea of a community dinner to bring students together. “I proposed the idea of a community dinner, because I think there is a big issue with food in the community,” Maggioncalda said. Since last April, college students in Michigan have been ineligible to receive a bridge card unless they meet certain federal

standards. “A lot of people’s bridge cards were cut off and a lot of people are struggling to buy food,” Maggioncalda said. She said SGA would like to use this community dinner to address student’s needs. “I think it’s a great community builder and a very inclusive project for students,” said Quentrese Cole, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. representative and Flint senior. SGA hopes to begin providing and hosting community dinners to Central Michigan University students once a month. “I think it is a great way to bring students together, “They can talk about issues that they want to work on in SGA,” SGA President and Shelby Township senior

Vince Cavataio said. Starting at 5 p.m., SGA will begin serving dinner, and the last time students will be able to go through food lines will be at 6:10 p.m. “I expect to see people in the house, senate and executive counsel, and hopefully other students outside of SGA,” Cavataio said. Maggioncalda said if there is a good turnout of students on Monday, people can expect more dinners to be held in the future. SGA encourages students who will be participating in the community dinner to bring donations for the food bank, and both money and can food donations will be accepted.

Collectors gather to swap stamps, stories at monthly meeting By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

Tom Culver can attest to the fact that much can be learned from an avid philatelist. Better known as stamp collectors, Culver said he has learned about global politics by what countries print on their stamps. “You’ll know all the answers on Jeopardy! if you collect stamps,” Culver said. He has been attending the Mid Michigan Stamp Collecting meet up for more than 50 years. Tuesday at the Isabella County Commission on Aging, 2200 S. Lincoln St., three of the about seven members sifted through thousands of stamps Culver bought by the pound from a stamp dealer. Two hours of sifting brought smiling faces, as stamps from the bags were bought for three cents each, and collections were sold for 10 percent of their face value. Culver said although the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalog, often referred to as the philatelist’s bible, deem many stamps of miniscule value, he collects because of his love of the many varieties. Each member took turns passing stamps to fellow philatelists to examine. “Damaging the corners is like damaging a painting,” Culver said. He said he first joined the group after moving to Mount Pleasant to work as a geologist for the DNR in the ‘50s. “The hobby is not what it

[NEWS]

IN THE NEWS MIDWEST UTILITY TO SHUT COAL-BURNING POWER PLANTS By Bob Downing Akron Becaon Journal

AKRON, Ohio — FirstEnergy Corp. on Thursday said it will retire six coal-fired power plants, including four in Ohio, because of stricter federal anti-pollution rules. The six older and dirtier plants will be closed by Sept. 1. “It was a tough decision,” said Charles D. Lasky, vice president of fossil fleet operations for FirstEnergy Generation Corp. FirstEnergy will be among the first American utilities to close aging, polluting power plants after tighter federal clean-air rules were finalized last month.

FirstEnergy had been keeping a close eye on proposed federal rules on mercury, heavy metals and air toxics from coal-burning power plants for years, Lasky said. The new rules provided FirstEnergy with “sufficient certainty” to proceed with the closings, he said. The federal mandate that improvements be completed within three years was a factor in the decision to retire the six plants, which represent 12 percent of the utility’s generation capacity, he said. The average age of the six plants is 55 years, Lasky said. The closings were triggered

by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s new Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS), which were finalized Dec. 21. Reducing emissions of mercury, heavy metals and airborne toxics from coal-burning power plants will protect people’s health, the EPA said. Installing anti-pollution equipment on small, old power plants was not economically feasible, FirstEnergy concluded. Lasky declined to say how much it would have cost FirstEnergy to equip the plants with bag houses, activated carbon filters and lime or sorbent injection systems to meet the new federal rules.

used to be,” Culver said. The three club members all wore prescription aviator glasses, which helped aid their searches through thick piles of stamps. Richard Moreau said size and perforation are important components of what collectors seek. Moreau recommended taking stamps off envelopes with water, but said special solvents are needed for more recent stamps, along with using special varieties of glue. Moreau has been a club member for more than 10 years and has more than 15,000 stamps in his collection. “Sometimes mint cents are worth more, and others were worth just enough to mail something,” Moreau said.

Some stamps are from fictitious countries made to turn a profit, while others indicate they are from specific places. Randy Kursinsky traveled from Midland for the club’s monthly meeting, held at 7 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. “I think there’s a gene you have to have to collect things, whether its jeans or salt and pepper shakers,” Kursinsky said. Culver and Kursinsky admitted to having thousands upon thousands of stamps in their collections. “Anything that appeals aesthetically, people collect,” Culver said. “But as you get older, you can’t keep everything,” metro@cm-life.com

Warriner welcomes ‘Cirque de Vogue’ fashion show next week By Anamaria Dickerson Staff Reporter

Next week Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium will be full of fashion. The 12th annual Organization for Black Unity fashion show, “Cirque de Vogue: The House of Circus Couture,” will be held Feb. 3. The charity event will run from 7 to 9 p.m. The fashion show is one of several events next week in honor of OBU Week, which begins Monday and goes through Saturday. OBU is a social organization with a stated purpose to help build networks, raise the retention rate and support students on campus. “The proceeds from the fashion show is divided between OBU and our Student Budget Allocation Committee funding,” said Northville sophomore and OBU Vice President Jasmine Valentine. “With the money that is gained during the show and any other events we have next week,

we will able to give back not only to the Mount Pleasant community but also to our philanthropy, which is the The Lupus Alliance of Michigan.” Valentine has been a part of OBU since her freshman year in fall 2010 and was appointed co-director of the show last semester. She said OBU has been planning for this show since last spring. “Before the 2010-11 (academic year) was over, we chose a theme, which is ‘Circus Couture,’” Valentine said. “Since then, we’ve been planning all of the details out.” There is a lot of hard work and preparation that goes into running a fashion show, Valentine said. At the beginning of the year, OBU set dates for tryouts to model in the show and once selected, rehearsal began. Willis senior and OBU President Jenee Graham said the designers for the show are selected in two different ways. “This year we met with some

people from the Fashion Association of Merchandising and Design (major) and got a couple from there,” Graham said. “Mostly we try to get vendors from the Mount Pleasant area to provide clothes and accessories.” The idea of “Cirque de Vogue” came from OBU wanting to have a circus come to campus for Sibling’s Weekend. “We wanted the theme of the fashion show to match,” Graham said. “The name came from a collaboration from directors and OBU’s E-Board .” Canton senior Carmen Walker is doing the hair and makeup for the show. “I spend a lot of time looking at makeup books and tutorials,” Walker said. “Pat McGrath is my favorite makeup artist.” Tickets are on sale now at the Events Center box office for $5 and can also be purchased at the door for $7. studentlife@cm-life.com

CITY OF MOUNT PLEASANT

Permit filed for Panera Bread; project moves toward completion City Commission to decide if plan will be approved By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

The Mount Pleasant Planning Commission will soon decide if the area will be home to a Panera Bread. The commission will vote on the restaurant’s building permit at 7 p.m. Thursday in the City Hall Commission Chamber. The business, which filed to be located at 2111 Mission St., will include a drive-thru. This added feature is why there is a need for the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission to approve the project before it can move forward. The permit was filed by Fancher Development Services Inc. based in California, said Jeffrey Gray, Secretary of the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission. “The decision is that of the planning commission,” said Gray, who is also the director

of planning and community development. The planning commission will review and those who filed may begin building if the permit is approved. “It looks like it meets ordinance,” Gray said. Croswell Senior Sarah Sly said she will venture to Panera at least a few times before she graduates, admittedly only dining at the establishment a few times. “You need to try everything once,” Sly said. Sly said traffic will be heavy, but that comes along with the Mission Street territory. “I think the atmosphere of Panera certainly fits the area,” said Wyandotte junior Molly Guckian. Guckian compared the atmosphere of Panera to that of Kaya Coffee and Tea Co., 1029 S. University Ave., which she said is relaxing. The restaurant, known for its soup will add to the variety of Mount Pleasant, Guckian said. She said she hopes for a spacious Panera, as the one

“I think the atmosphere of Panera certainly fits the area.” Molly Guckian, Wyandotte junior

Men’s hoops drops fourth straight game Poor shooting crippled Chippewas chances at Bowling Green By Aaron McMann University Editor

Score board

A conference season that once appeared promising is now fading — and quickly. The Central Michigan men’s basketball team dropped its fourth consecutive game We d n e s d a y, shooting 36 perUP NEXT cent in a 71-58 Saturday loss against Bowling Green before CMU (7-12, 2,009 at the Stroh 2-4 MAC) vs. Center in Bowling Akron (13-7, Green, Ohio. 5-1 MAC) The Chippewas fall to 7-12 overall and 2-4 in the Mid-American Conference, a full two games behind MAC-West leading Ball State. “I thought we came out with really good energy to battle, get rebounds and put ourselves in a position to make some plays defensively,” CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler said afterward. “Unfortunately, we could not make buckets in the first half. We just struggled, struggled, struggled ... (there) was like a lid on the basket.” The Chippewas came out scrappy, outrebounding Bowling Green 25-19 in the first half – they even converted 12 second-chance points off 10 offensive rebounds. But every other shot, it seemed like, would not fall. CMU shot a paltry 23.5 percent (8-for-34) and fell behind 31-21 by halftime. The second half wasn’t much better, despite an offensive flurry from sophomore guard Trey Zeigler. After BGSU opened up a 16-point lead early in the second half, Zeigler, battling the flu all week, and junior guard Finis Craddock helped cut the deficit to 9 points with 10:40 to go. The Falcons responded with a 10-2 run and maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way. Zeigler finished with a gamehigh 17 points on 8-of-14 shooting and 10 rebounds, his fifth doubledouble of the season. The rest of the CMU team shot 15-for-39 (30 percent) and 4-of-7 in 3-point attempts. “He’s trying to respond, he’s trying to mature,” Zeigler said of his son. “We all know what he’s capable of. He gave us everything he had out there. If he continues to give that type of effort, it’s going to allow him to grow and hopefully affect our play as a team as well.” BGSU (9-10, 3-3 MAC) had four players in double figures, with forwards Scott Thomas and A’uston Calhoun and guard Jordan Crawford each scoring 14 points. Calhoun added 11 rebounds for a double-double, while Crawford added seven assists for the Falcons. Senior forward Andre Coimbra (12 points, most of which came in the first half ) was the only other CMU player to score in double figures. Guards Derek Jackson and Austin McBroom each scored 3 points. The Chippewas outrebounded BGSU 41-29 for the game.

SUSPENSION Redshirt freshman Auston Barnes did not make the trip to Bowling Green with the team after he was suspended by head coach Ernie Zeigler for what CMU is calling “a violation of team rules.” Barnes, a 6-foot-6, 196-pound forward from Lansing Waverly High School, has played a total of 67 minutes in 16 games this season. He played 10 minutes Saturday against Western Michigan, recording a pair of steals and rebound in the Chippewas’ 64-61 loss to the Broncos. The Chippewas return home to host MAC East-leading Akron on Saturday. Tipoff against the Zips (13-7, 5-1 MAC) is set for 7 p.m. at McGuirk Arena. sports@cm-life.com

The Mid-American Conference announced Thursday that Central Michigan freshmen guards Crystal Bradford, Jessica Green and freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey will each serve two-game suspensions for their involvement in a bench-clearing brawl Wednesday night at McGuirk Arena. Ohio junior forward Porsha Harris will also serve a two-game suspension for her role in the fight, which occurred at the 11:08 mark of the first half in the Chippewas game against Ohio. “The behavior of the involved student athletes was unacceptable and has no place in basketball,” stated MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher. “I appreciate the quick action of the coaches from both institutions who prevented this incident from further escalating.” During a timeout, Harris and Bracey began exchanging punches. Shortly after, both benches cleared and a brawl ensued before players, coaches and officials could separate the two teams. Bradford, Bracey and Green will miss the remaining two games of the home stand, Saturday against Bowling Green and Miami on Wednesday.

Wrestling team can take MAC title with win Sunday By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan wrestling team faces two ranked opponents this weekend with Sunday’s meet having the Mid-American Conference regular season title on the line. CMU will host No. 14 Lehigh at 7:30 tonight before traveling to No. 16 Kent State in a pivotal MAC matchup at 2:05 p.m. Sunday. The Chippewas can earn the outright MAC regular season title with a win at Kent State. It would be their 13th MAC title in 14 seasons. Head coach Tom Borrelli said he knows Kent State will not be an easy environment to play in. “I know the crowd will be hostile,” Borelli said. “But I think our guys are used to that.” Borrelli said he wants his team to maintain focus on what it has been working on all season. “Really, we’re just working on the same things, kind of adding on to some of the things we’ve been trying to build on all season long,” he said. “We’re not really focused on outcomes as much as we are improving our technique, our conditioning and just improving our match strategy.

You win and lose based on how good those things are.” Despite having a young team, Borrelli said his wrestlers shouldn’t have a difficult time adjusting to the pressure. “I think we put our guys in those situations enough times,” Borrelli said. “This past weekend was one of those situations. You try and put each individual in those high profile situations so that when they get to the national tournament or get to the finals of the conference, then it’s just another match to them.” The Kent State lineup will feature fifth-year senior Nic Bedelyon at 125-pounds and freshman Ian Miller at 149-pounds. Bedelyon is 23-2 overall and Miller is 23-3. Both are 2-0 in the MAC. “There are a number of matchups that are going to be interesting to see in both the Lehigh match and the Kent State match,” Borrelli said. “The difference is you’ll see the Kent State matchups again in the conference tournament, probably.” Today’s dual will feature a bout between a pair of top-five ranked opponents at 184-pounds. No. 5 Ben Bennett will look to avenge his 5-2 loss at the Midlands Championships

State, have to understand you have to come in from the get-go.” CMU needs the confidence when defending Mid-American Conference champions Bowling Green come 3 p.m. Saturday to McGuirk Arena. EJECTIONS Harris was ejected from the game for fighting and Bracey received a flagrant two for retaliating resulting in her ejection from the game. “The first time an individual participates in a fight during the season (including exhibition games), the individual shall be suspended from participating in the team’s next regularseason game (not excluding an exhibition contest), including tournament competition,” according

to NCAA Rulebook Section seven Art. 2. “Any team member or other bench personnel under suspension or fighting shall not be in the team’s bench area,” Section seven Art. 6. Therefore Bracey will not be playing Saturday against Bowling Green nor will she be on the bench with her teammates. Senior forward Skylar Miller has been playing well lately and will probably be filling in for the freshman’s absence. Now what triggered the two to start fighting isn’t clear because reporters were not allowed to ask questions about the fight and were denied access to speaking with any players after the game.

SUSPENSION| CONTINUED FROM 7

The suspensions will not be easy for CMU to deal with. The three suspended players are the top three scorers on the team. Bradford leads the Chippewas with 14.6 points per game, Green is second at 12.2, and Bracey third at 9.8. “We as an institution and athletics department hold sportsmanship in the highest regard as a key principle in developing our Championship Culture at Central Michigan University. Last night’s actions do not reflect that culture,” said CMU Director of Athletics, Dave Heeke. “The sanctions imposed by the Mid-American Conference are appropriate and will be used to strengthen our student athletes and our sport programs moving forward.” CMU women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara will address the situation with media members this afternoon. sports@cm-life.com

Gymnastics travels to EMU, Tecumseh Adams competing host Texas Women’s Univ. for spot in NCAA championship TRACK & FIELD

The undefeated Central Michigan gymnastics team will be busy this weekend with meets Friday and Sunday. The Chippewas (5-0, 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference) will face Eastern Michigan (0-1, 0-1), and Texas Women’s University at 7 p.m. today in Ypsilanti. Texas Women’s University (3-1) will follow CMU back to Mount Pleasant for another meet at 1 p.m. Sunday in McGuirk Arena. Today’s meet against Eastern Michigan should give CMU its biggest challenge of the weekend, and more important because it is an in-conference match. “The Friday night meet will be the important meet. It’s the MAC meet counter for us,” head coach Jerry Reighard said. “To continue to control our own destiny we need to have a MAC win against Eastern.” While CMU has a road meet, it’s a luxury that the team only

has about a two-hour ride. Reighard doesn’t believe that fatigue will be a factor because the Chippewas will still be sticking to their basic routine over the weekend. “If we were on the road I think that would be a bigger factor,” Reighard said. “We’ll be back home Friday night, and then we’ll have our team meal on Saturday night. We’ll be ready to go on Sunday.” CMU is coming off a win despite what Reighard said was a disappointing performance against Ball State. The high standards Reighard has for the team remains a focus for the weekend. The team totaled a score of 193.350 against Ball State. That is three points less that Reighard’s goal of 196. He said he is trying to get his team to think differently going into this weekend. “They need to come outside of their own little bubble. We kind of locked ourselves into a situation, we’ve conditioned ourselves to do what we want,” Reighard said. “My statement

to them is if you think like you’ve always thought, then your going to do like you’ve always done. We have to think totally different.” Against Ball State all three all-arounders, Kristin Teubner, Brittany Petzold, and Rebecca Druien, scored below 39 points. “I think our whole situation that we put ourselves into is we’ve settled on this plateau on the mountain,” Reighard said. “Right now we don’t think we can climb to the next plateau.” In order to change the mindset of the team, Reighard is willing to take some chances. “The danger in gymnastics is that when you do something different it could have a little bit of ramifications. That’s when you make mistakes that cost you more,” Reighard said. “I’m willing to take that chance because the team has to climb off that plateau and reach the next level, that’s the plan this weekend.” sports@cm-life.com

Men’s basketball will look for other scorers while returning home By John Manzo Sports Editor

Trey Zeigler needs help – and fast. Even with flu symptoms the Central Michigan men’s basketball sophomore guard led his team in the loss against Bowling Green on Wednesday night, but was only one-oftwo players in double-figures. The Chippewas have fallen to fifth in the MAC West, only ahead of Northern Illinois, a team that beat CMU 74-66 on Jan. 14. They will look to snap a four-game losing streak. Zeigler will look for more than three-point efforts from guards’ Austin McBroom and

Derek Jackson 7 p.m. Saturday against MAC East-leading Akron. It will be the first Chippewas home game since Jan. 18. “It’s tough. They’re young guards who are key cogs of what we do here offensively,” head coach Ernie Zeigler said about his guards. “Unfortunately they both had one of those nights. We’ve got to keep pushing them, keep nurturing them and put them in a position to continue to get better.” The Chippewas have their next two games at home. They only travel on the road four more times during the regular season. “Right now we’ve got to

put ourselves in a position to be able to battle through the things in games,” Ernie said. “We’re going to get ready for (Akron) and see if we can put ourselves in a position to take care of our home floor.” The Zips are the secondbest scoring offense in the MAC. They average 72.7 points per game, and from a variety of players. Akron doesn’t have a scorer in the top 25 in the MAC, but Zeke Marshall, Nikola Cvetinovic and No. 29 Nick Harney all hover between 9.9-10.3 points per game. They are in the top 30 of MAC scoring.

University of Indiana for a spot in the 5k event in the NCAA Indoor Championship in March. “I’m feeling pretty good,” Adams said. “My training has been good.” Adams took a week off between the cross-country and track and field seasons. He said he is aiming to finish with a time around 13:50, which is about 20 seconds faster than his personal best. “Most of the guys I was running with in cross were sub-14 runners,” he said. “And I’ve always been a pretty good track runner.” Apart from Adams, the Central Michigan men’s and women’s track and field teams will be intentionally limited by director of track and field and cross-country

When Tecumseh Adams runs a track race, he is not focused solely on race strategy. He reads the brand names on opponents’ jerseys, or the colors of the shoes they wear. “Sometimes when I’m running, I’ll study people’s shoes or jerseys to take my mind off the amount of laps we have to do,” Adams said. Adams, a sophomore distance runner on the Central Michigan track and field team, won an individual Mid-American Conference championship in crosscountry last fall. He will compete Saturday at the Indiana Relays at the

Willie Randolph. Randolph said the team is at its point in the season where it bears down on fundamentals to prepare for a run at a MAC championship. “If we can relax ourselves and focus on the things we have to do, the execution will come a whole lot easier,” Randolph said. Among the 15 competing athletes this weekend are senior multi-event athlete Josh Kettlewell and sophomore multi-event athlete Tim Reynolds, who will both compete at the Penn State National today and Saturday in College Station, Penn. It will be Kettlewell’s and Reynold’s first multi-event meets of the season.
