78 fewer students on campus this year

GRIFFIN POLICY

Forum to focus on future of higher ed

Freshman class down by 316 By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University had a loss of 78 students this fall with a total of 28,311 registered. This is a 0.3 percent decrease, according to the Office of the Registrar’s annual report. Mary Meier, assistant director of institutional research, was responsible for producing the statistics. She said the numbers are taken from enrollment annually after the eighth day of classes, 10 percent of the way into the semester. They use a data freeze file that produces a snapshot of who is enrolled at the time. “We know we’re comparing equivalent points in time,” she said. “I think it’s a good way of doing it. That’s the way most other universities do it.” The most significant change was the drop of oncampus first-time-in-anycollege (FTIAC) freshmen by 316 students, a 7.5 percent loss from fall 2010. It was the largest percent loss of the one-year enrollment comparisons. Off-campus FTIAC freshman enrollment, however, A LOSS | 2

never forgotten Students release balloons, reflect on personal experiences with suicide

By Jamie Favazza | Staff Reporter Corrine Kay was sitting by the pond west of the Charles V. Park Library Wednesday evening when she noticed balloons being inflated nearby. “The one night I decide to take a walk, and I find this happening,” Kay said. The Ann Arbor freshman found about 30 students with yellow helium-filled balloons writing thoughts, poems and prayers on purple paper butterflies they then tied to a balloon’s string. They were forming a circle and preparing to launch the butterflies and balloons into the sky in a symbolic launch as part of Suicide Prevention Week. “I found out that the event was personal, because my dad died from suicide two years ago,” Kay said. Her butterfly read, “I miss you Dad, you’re the best.” “I don’t know where that balloon’s going to land, but I know he sees it,” she said. A BALLOONS | 2

Greeks react to suspensions By David Oltean Senior Repor ter

After the suspensions of Lambda Chi Alpha and Alpha Chi Rho, the Central Michigan University Greek community is now left with nine social fraternities. Both suspensions were issued during the month of September, but the groups faced their suspensions for different reasons. Lambda Chi Alpha was suspended for four years for an incident involving alcohol

with non-fraternity brothers, while Alpha Chi Rho was suspended until the fall of 2014 for hazing allegations. Lambda Chi Alpha’s fate was determined by the allGreek judicial board and Alpha Chi Rho’s hazing allegations were investigated and acted upon by their national chapter. Mount Pleasant senior Taylor Jackson, president of the Interfraternity Council, said he was sad to see the Greek community shrink after the

State and local politicians and university leaders will meet Monday to discuss the future of higher education in Michigan. The semiannual Griffin Policy Forum will cover “The Future of Higher Education in Michigan” and will begin at 7 p.m. in the George Ross Powers Hall Ballroom. The forum is sponsored by the Robert and Marjorie Griffin Endowed Chair in American Government, the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences, and the department of political science at Central Michigan University. The event will be moderated by Peter Luke of Booth News Services. Panelists include Michael Boulus, executive director of the presidents’ council and state universities of Michigan, Don Gilmer, past chairman of Michigan house appropriation and higher education appropriation committees, Lou Glazer, Michigan Future Inc. President, and University President George Ross. Griffin Endowed Chair Maxine Berman said she is excited to have such a diverse group on the panel to discuss the issue at hand. “The panel will bring many different perspectives, as they can each talk separately about the issue as it ties to the budget, the history of institutions and the philosophical aspects,” she said. The forum will be structured with the first half dedicated to panel discussion overseen by the moderator, and the second half will be an open question and answer session for the audience. Sarah Buckley, CHSBS coordinator of marketing and events, said past audiences of Griffin forums have always been glad to have the opportunity to speak their minds in this format. “The forum is a good opportunity for students, faculty and the community to learn more about the issue by asking questions in addition to listening to the panel

However, Jackson emphasized the importance of the policies held by Greek Life. “It’s obviously a sad day any time our community gets smaller,” Jackson said. “It’s unfortunate for an organization and the alumni to lose all that history over the actions of a few members, but in order for fraternity life to grow, everyone needs to be held accountable to the same policies and standards.”

increased by 45.2 percent this past year and has increased by 84.8 percent in the past five years. Steve Smith, director of public relations, said freshman numbers were lower this year because CMU purposefully limited undergraduate enrollment. In 2010, CMUs student population numbers were overwhelming, he said, and they wanted to make sure the campus was not overcrowded. “Last year we felt there were too many students … it was a bit overwhelming,” Smith said. “We wanted to make sure the academic experience and the living environment was good.” Although the overall numbers dropped, there was an increase in the diversity of student’s ethnic backgrounds. According to the Registrar’s Office, on-campus black students increased from 889 in fall 2010 to 1,018 in fall 2011, now making up 5 percent

of the student population. In geographical distribution, CMU decreased by 128 students in local Michigan counties, dropped by 16 students from foreign countries, but gained 73 students nationwide. From 2007 to 2011, undergraduate enrollment increased by 7.6 percent, undergraduate student credit hours enrollment increased by 4.9 percent, and minority enrollment increased by 11.7 percent. Total enrollment has increased by 4.5 percent in the past five years. Over the five-year span, on-campus programs increased international enrollment by 36.2 percent, on-campus minority enrollment by 15.2 percent and on-campus graduate student credit hours by 15.1 percent. Graduate enrollment off-campus decreased by 9.2 percent over the fiveyear span, and U.S. site enrollment off-campus decreased by 41 percent. Off-campus enrollment had the largest change of the departments. From last year, CMU’s non-U.S. site

enrollment increased by 20 percent, even though its numbers have declined by 70 percent in the past five years. unive rsity@cm-life.com

Kay released her balloon after Barb Smith, founder of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program Saginaw Chapter, gave a short speech to the circle. “This is a symbolic release,” Smith said. “(We) release the balloon as a commitment to a new beginning.” There was then a moment of silence. Following the silence, about 30 butterflies fluttered on balloon strings into the sky as students released them at once. Some watched the balloons float away, some kept their eyes tightly closed and others cried. Everyone held his or her neighbor’s hand. “You could see the pain in people’s eyes,” said David Opalewski, teacher education and professional development adjunct faculty. In conjunction with Central Michigan University’s First Year Experience Program, Opalewski organized Suicide Prevention Week and the balloon launch. “It took a lot of courage for people to come here tonight,” he said. “It’s a bit

more solemn than the previous nights.” Like Kay, Raquel Welsh has been affected by a family member’s suicide. “My uncle committed suicide in 2010,” the Eaton Rapids freshman said. “This week really matters to me.” Welsh said she participated in a previous balloon launch for her uncle and found it helpful. “It helps in showing that you didn’t forget,” Welsh said. She described her uncle as fun to be around, and said he was quiet, but meaningful when he spoke. “I wrote what I felt on the butterfly, and releasing the balloon, I felt like he could really know I care,” she said. “It was like he was there.” Welsh said she felt relieved and at ease after the release, especially with others there. “It’s nice to know it’s not just him up there, and that other people are there with him,” she said. “It’s important to take time to remember.” studentlife@cm-life.com

ISABELLA COUNTY

Leaking jail roof to be replaced Price upped to $306,000 from $281,600

Office looks to hire volunteers from CMU

By Jake Bolitho Staff Reporter

The Isabella County Jail’s roof will be replaced to address the leaky condition of the current one. The project’s $281,600 price tag was upped to $306,000, as additional money is needed to replace the building’s exhaust system, said Lt. Tom Recker, jail administrator. The jail no longer meets specifications because of leaks created from the construction of a previous building addition. In that addition, the roofing was pulled up from the original building. “The roof over there is in many stages,” said Commissioner George Green. “We’ve revamped it with several new additions.” The project calls for the removal of insulation and ballasted membrane from the roof deck. Current sheet metal will also be removed and new perimeter blocking will be added to match the thickness of insulation. “We’ve had several leaks in the facility to the point where it’s time to replace the roof, and do it all in one job, and do it all right,” Recker said. The roof is being replaced for the first time in more than 50 years. Isabella County commissioners approved the project Tuesday, stating the money will be taken from the county’s $549,000 commissary fund. “We generate about $120,000 a year in commissary, so we’re feeling that we’ll have enough time to replenish that account, so that we will not spend more than what we have,” Recker said. A 20-year warranty will be included in the project. Great Lakes Systems will serve as the construction firm for the replacement project, outbidding six other companies. The Jenison-based company was chosen after surveying several references who recommended the firm, Recker said. It has carried out similar construction at jails in Kent and Allegan counties. “(The references) said they were clean and safetyconscious,” Recker said. “I probably talked to 10 or 11 references, and I did not hear one negative comment about them.” A beginning and ending construction date has not yet been set. metro@cm-life.com

ball rolling Phi Mu sorority asking for donations to sign giant beach ball By David Oltean | Senior Reporter

he sisters of Central Michigan University’s Phi Mu chapter have been “having a ball” with their latest philanthropy idea. The sorority has escorted a massive beach ball around campus, asking students to sign their names on it for a $1 donation. All proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network hospitals, and the ball, which stands more than six feet tall, will be given to Pullen Elementary School, 251 S. Brown St., in Mount Pleasant. The group isn’t sure how much money they will raise, but hope the attention will bring people to sign. “Most of (the students) have been shocked and amazed and have had their cell phones out taking pictures,” said Grand Haven senior Brittany Sheffield. “They’ve never really seen something like this on campus before.” Sheffield said she got the idea for the giant ball from another Phi Mu chapter in Mississippi that had success with the event. She said when the ball was first blown up and barely fit in the sorority house, they knew students

would be intrigued. The charity, Children’s Miracle Network, has been raising money to provide children with medical treatment since 1983. Phi Mu does not have a set amount of money to raise. “As for the ball, we’re donating it a local elementary school right by the hospital,” Sheffield said. “The gym teacher knows (the ball) is coming, so I’m sure she’s going to plan some fun activities for the students.” Shelby Township senior

Trenton sophomore Dori Castignola signs a giant beach ball after donating to the Children’s Miracle Network in front of Anspach Hall Tuesday afternoon. “I was like, whoa, what is this?” Castignola said. “It’s for such a good cause so I figured I’d donate and sign it.”

Kristina Hermann said her sorority was having fun with the ball, and it was first inflated in the Charles V. Park Library parking lot with a hairdryer. Hermann said she was excited to donate both the money and ball to children. “I think (Children’s Miracle Network) is a really good thing,” Hermann said. “Some parents just can’t afford to take care of their children when they’re sick, so it’s really nice to have one less worry in the house when that happens.” Rochester sophomore Ra-

chel Boreo saw the giant ball from a distance before deciding to donate $1 to the cause and sign her name. “The ball definitely got my attention, and I had to come see what was going on,” Boreo said. “It’s definitely a good cause and it looks like it’s working, judging by all the names.” For more information on Children’s Miracle Network, visit childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org. studentlife@cm-life.com

The future Central Michigan Community Hospital Free Clinic is looking to team up with Central Michigan University to find volunteers. The clinic, set to open in January 2012, will provide primary care services to the about 18 percent of the county’s population who are uninsured, according to a CMCH press release. Nancy King, CMCH Free Clinic director, said they want CMU health professionals to volunteer. “It is a great opportunity to develop relationships with health profession students and for students to interact with patients and get volunteer hours,” she said. Only volunteer doctors and nurses will staff the clinic, located at 2012 E. Preston St. King said in addition to the physicians, all health educators are welcome to volunteer at the clinic, which will only be open on Thursdays. “The professors generally have good speaking skills and can treat patients with dignity and respect,” she said. “Other volunteers don’t necessarily need a health care background for talking to people and helping get patients’ information as they come in.” The clinic will treat residents with the flu, chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes or hypertension and more, according to the release. Care will not be available for sexually transmitted infections counseling and/or testing, drug testing, immunizations, prescription of controlled drugs/narotics, substance-abuse services or tuberculosis tests. “We already have a really good network of services in the community for services like birth control, pregnancy testing, pre- or postnatal care and second opinions, so we don’t want to compete with them,” King said. “The Central Michigan District Health Department and the Central Michigan Pregnancy Services provide services for those in need.” Some pharmaceutical samples will be available through the clinic, along

Bait bicycle program catches 9 By Kurt Nagl Staff Reporter

Potential thieves should think twice before taking an unlocked bicycle for a joyride through campus. The Central Michigan University Police Department launched a new way to reduce the number of bike thefts on campus last May. The department places a bait bike randomly on campus without a lock, waiting for thieves to take it for a spin. The bike is rigged with a GPS, which sends a signal when the bike becomes mobile, leading officers to its location. CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said the bike can also deter others from stealing. “Larceny is the biggest crime on campus,” he said. “We see a lot of stolen computers and bikes, but there’s no way to track bikes like we can track computers.” There is currently just one rigged bike on campus, but it

changes locations. An average of two to three bikes are stolen each week, and not just by students, CMU Police Lt. Larry Klaus said. There have been 37 total bike larcenies on campus this year; nine from the rigged bike, Klaus said. There have been 15 more bike larcenies this year than at this time last year, Klaus said. Klaus said other universities in the state have similar policies. Those who steal the bike face court fines and a charge of misdemeanor larceny if prosecuted. Seven of this year’s bike thieves were arrested. Florida senior Lorenzo White, cornerback of the CMU football team stole the bait bike over the summer. He was found guilty on one count of larceny greater than $200 on July 29. He received three months’ probation and $630 in court fines and charges. White was also suspended one game by CMU Athletics.

Dearborn junior Neal O’ Connor said he thinks the bait bike is a good idea. “Somebody that’s going to steal a bike might steal something else,” he said. “Students should expect the police to do something like this.” Livonia freshman Ryan Gabrish agreed. “If they have intent to steal, they are going to have to pay the consequences,” he said. Some students, however, consider the practice an unfair way for the police to trap people. “The police can just follow up on reports of stolen bikes instead of staging it,” said Mount Pleasant junior Olin Banks. Klaus said their intent is not to arrest as many people as they can. “We’re not trying to be super secretive about it,” Klaus said. “We want to catch the person who has intent to steal more than once.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Economic disparity does not work Who do these people think they are, talking about our country like this? I didn’t see anyone on Fox News asking that about the Tea Party movement, but the anti-finance protests of the past three weeks have brought about a much different reaction. There seems to be a line of thinking, especially on Rupert Murdoch’s networks, that those taking part in the Occupy Wall Street protests in Manhattan and elsewhere are un-American. Is there anything more American than taking to the streets to protest inequality? The defining moments of this country’s progress have come when citizens decided they no longer felt like attempting to participate in a system that refuses to give them a seat at the table. David and Charles Koch, heirs to a massive fortune, have used their extraordinary wealth to fund the Tea Party movement. On Monday a wide range of unethical international business tactics employed by Koch Industries Inc. were exposed in Bloomberg Markets Magazine. The Bloomberg article summarizes their story: “Charles, 75, and David, 71, each worth about $20 billion, are prominent financial backers of groups that believe that excessive regulation is sapping the competitiveness of American business.” Turns out part of the Koch brothers’ business empire has been bending rules and passing bribes in order to make millions in Iran. What extraordinary patriots. This latest revelation, and the financial crisis that has caused economic calamity around the world, was largely caused by a lack of regulation in the first place. Somehow the Koch brothers and others on the right have managed to convince many to fight against their own best interest. Yet, the narrative of dirty hippies against proud patriots seems to continue playing out across cable roundtables. Americans, Tea Party members and otherwise, need to wake up to the economic realities we now face. The anger that kicked off the current surge of populism on both sides of the aisle should be directed at the bloated and irresponsible financial institutions that landed us in this mess. Mother Jones has done an excellent job of sizing up the wealth disparity in this country as it stands now. Its data, much of it from 2007 (compiled before the housing collapse of 2008, so it’s safe to imagine things are even worse now), should be alarming to any American, but the truths it contains seem obvious to anyone in Michigan. Mother Jones reported that more than 73 percent of America’s net worth is owned by the richest 10 percent, with the top 1 percent alone controlling more than a third. Take a breath. Then feel yourself getting angry. This isn’t the country we learned about in civics class. There are those who have decided to express their anger — the protestors in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere. I think it’s about time the alreadyeducated, uninsured and indebted Americans, who did the hard work of doing everything they were told to in order find employment yet remain out of work, cry foul. These aren’t (all) bratty art school kids who decided to take the afternoon off. These protestors are nurses, teachers, retirees and skilled workers who have been punished with excessive austerity measures for mistakes made by a financial sector that has already bounced back quite nicely. Those protesting aren’t out for blood, only shared sacrifice and, most importantly, measures to make sure our country is never put at such enormous risk by the greed of so few. Serious problems face our country, public health, environmental and otherwise, and they are here to stay. Tearing into one another while a tiny fraction of Americans sip on drinks that stay cool in the shade of their own umbrellas is one way to guarantee we never deal with the actual pressing issues of today and tomorrow.

EDITORIAL | Scholarships should be used to fulfill their purpose

Contained Diversity Central Michigan University is a place where diversity is and should be encouraged. Interviews for Wednesday’s Central Michigan Life story “Troutman residency based on scholarship, not race; misunderstanding remains,” debunked the assumption some students hold that certain floors of Troutman Hall serve as dorms for students of particular races only and clarified those rooms are rather held for specific scholarship recipients. Like many other scholarships at CMU, Multicultural Advancement and Lloyd Cofer scholarship students live in the same residence hall as their fellow scholars. At first thought, this is a reasonable way to organize the about 140 MAC scholars who currently live in Troutman Hall. While this method of designating students to specific dorms is convenient for quickly communicating news pertinent to those with the same scholarship, it should not be used for these scholars. The terms “multicultural,” in the actual name of the scholarship, and “diversity,” used in the description of

the scholarship on CMU’s website, both seem to promote the creation of circumstances where students from different backgrounds can meet one another. If the focus of the MAC scholarship is diversity, Residence Life should step outside the typical way of how students with the same scholarship are organized on campus, and spread these students out. This would help fulfill one of the main reasons why they’re here, and why they received the scholarship in the first place — diversity. In the same description of the MAC scholarship on CMU’s website, it says recipients, “share the common goal of academic achievement, service and commitment to diversity, multiculturalism and inclusion.” Yes, other scholars without a diversity focus may end up spending a significant amount of time with one another, but that’s not the point of the scholarships in question. Troutman Residence Hall Director Bill O’Dell said some MAC scholars have similar class schedules and living together gives them a support group.

An important fact is that MAC scholars who wish to live in a residence hall other than Troutman are able to do so, but most do not move, and several sources in the story said they enjoy their living situations. But there were several people who had issues with the living situation, including a MAC scholar who said though he is happy with his living situation, there is a distance between the scholars and other residents in the same hall. When first moving to college, it’s typical for students to become friends with people who live on their floor. If MAC scholars lived across campus in different locations, they would not only have the support group of friends on their floor, but also other MAC scholars, who they spend time with for activities related to their studies and scholarship. That’s more diverse than the current situation. Those in charge of choosing where MAC scholars live should take a second look to determine if they are encouraging or hindering the stated purpose of the scholarship.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

Letter in response to SGA President Vincent Cavataio’s comments Monday I recently read the article “Faculty picket unwelcome at CMU and You Day, plans job action again if necessary.” I was shocked at the comments made by Vincent Cavataio in regard to the “inappropriate” ways the Faculty Association was protesting. I could care less what side of the fence he is on on the debate between the FA and the administration; what had stoked the coals of my ire was his attitude toward protesting. So, I made some snarky comments on Facebook, as I sometimes do. Mr. Cavataio then responded with, “I am always willing to debate in an appropriate forum.” Well, I sent him an email (which he gave me in a post on the FA wall, which has recently been removed) to do just that. In that email, I attempted to set up a time and place for us to publicly debate (he had attempted to lure me into some back room discussion at the SGA office, but seeing that his comments were made in the very public sphere of a campus newspaper, I felt it necessary to debate in public). “It seems that you are of the ilk that believe that there are appropriate and inappropriate places and times for civil action,” I said. “On the

He responded with an attempt to weasel out of this, trying to steer me toward taking my problems to the administration. He missed the point completely. This has nothing to do with the FA issue, although that was the impetus for his comments. I was speaking of the much larger issue of what it is to be a modern American citizen. This was me taking my civic duty seriously, calling out a public official (or relatively so), for his comments that essentially said to students, “If what you have to say is inconvenient, don’t say it.” This was a citizen taking up another citizen’s challenge. We shared several other emails in an attempt for me to get him to

follow through on his offer to no avail. Honestly, I feel it very cowardly of him to brush me off like this. He even said at one point that he being a high and mighty advocate for the students, his time was far too valuable to waste on the likes of me, a simple commoner, a booze peddler. All I want is to have this discussion in public so the most citizens possible can benefit from a meaningful exploration of what the framers of our nation had in mind when they cast off their own chains and said that we ALL are free. Is that not in the truest spirit of democracy? So the challenge still stands, and all I am met with is passing the buck. Mr. Cavataio, you said you are willing to debate. Why do you run away? Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote, “So long as a people are constrained to obey, and obeys, it does well; but as soon as it can shake off the yoke, and shakes it off, it does better; for since it regains its freedom by the same right that removed it, a people is either justified in taking back its freedom, or there is no justifying those who took it away.” I truly hope Mr. Cavataio reconsiders his pathetic cowardice.

Lip dubs are lame Mount Pleasant should stop playing copy cat Hey, MAC TV? The public access channel in Mount Pleasant? We need to sit down and have a talk. Stay right there, entire city of Mount Pleasant. You had better hear this too. The whole “lip dub” thing, where you film a large group of people lip synching a song — it is really lame. I know, it’s hard for you to hear. It worked so well for Grand Rapids earlier this year, and got them national recognition, so why not film one for Mount Pleasant? Heck, why not film one for Central Michigan University while we’re at it, too? I’ll admit, Grand Rapids pulled off something special. Lip dubs were already passé by the time Grand Rapids had filmed theirs. The fad originated in 2006, peaked in 2009 with The Today Show’s lip dub to “I Got A Feeling” by The Black Eyed Peas and were enough of a dead fad for “The Office” to poke fun at the idea in 2010. Grand Rapids pulled it off with massive support from the community, notable local personalities and, oh, a $40,000 budget. Now this is going to be hard to hear, so sit tight: We are not Grand Rapids. They are the second-largest metropolitan area in the state, with a strong local culture and is a state center of business, health care and manufacturing. Mount Pleasant is just not that. We are a great town; I love this place. We are a small, blue-collar town supported by a few large businesses. Not only is recording and releasing a lip dub video now jumping on a bandwagon from a few years ago, but it reeks of “me too” in relation to Grand Rapids. Internet fads are a hard thing to manufacture; there’s no telling what will catch on, when or why. If you do something the exact way they did, it is almost a guarantee you will not be as successful as they were. It will be okay, guys. Mount Pleasant is a great town, and if we want national recognition, we can find a way to get it on our own terms, and it will be better that way. Have you thought about this “planking” thing?

Western-CMU blood drive begins By Jalisa Cannon Staff Reporter

Next week will be the start of a competition pitting rival student bodies against each other. Central Michigan University and Western Michigan University, in partnership with the American Red Cross, will be participating in the fall blood challenge to see which school can donate the most blood. The two-week long event is set to kick off at noon Monday in the Emmons Hall lobby and will run through Oct. 20. During the spring 2011 challenge, which ran from Jan. 18 to Jan. 28, CMU donated 223 units of blood, falling short of the 387 units donated by WMU. Despite WMU coming out on

top, the schools worked collectively to give as much blood and save as many lives as possible. Several students said they felt adding the element of rivalry is a great way to get people motivated about donating blood. “Any time there’s a competition-based event, especially with Western, I think students will participate,” said Kalamazoo senior Michael Babineaux. Babineaux said he feels the blood drive will give CMU a chance to redeem itself not only from past blood drives, but from defeats in sports as well. Jet’s Pizza, 2308 S. Mission St., will provide free pizza to all donors. Participants will also have a chance to win gift cards from Meijer, free food from Subway and other prizes.

“Donating blood is about saving lives and I think everyone gets that message, but it’s great to have food and prizes as the organization’s (Red Cross) way of thanking people for coming out,” said Grosse Point senior Jessica Montgomery. She said people will be more willing to donate if they feel like they are getting something out of it. Anyone wishing to donate blood must bring their Red Cross donor card or another form of identification when going to donate. To make an appointment or find out more about the drive’s locations and times, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. studentlife@cm-life.com

discuss what’s going on,” Buckley said. Recent events at CMU have focused on the topic of higher education as Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, who visited Monday, talked about their book “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses” which said 45 percent of college students do not have significant improvement in learning during the first two years of college. Berman said she is glad to be able to discuss this highly topical issue of higher education on a university campus. “There is a serious concern about the future of higher education, especially with the current budget cuts and tuition increases,” she said. “I hope students begin thinking about higher education and looking at concerns. These concerns have a tremendous impact on the state economy and policy.”

IFC Vice President of Public Relations Shawn Qualls, a St. Clair Shores senior, emphasized the importance of each fraternity’s risk management policy. “Nobody expects a fraternity to be here one day and gone the next, let alone two,” Qualls said. “The safety of students is paramount in both of these cases.” Qualls said both groups will get an opportunity to recolonize after their suspensions are fulfilled. “Usually, (the fraternities) are suspended for four years which leaves enough time for the youngest members to graduate,” Qualls said. “It’s a temporary reorganization thing that has happened to a lot of fraternities.” Birmingham junior Chelsea Lord, a sister of Alpha Chi Omega, said many of

her sorority sisters were saddened by the suspensions. “A lot of my sisters were close with the Lambda Chis after we had them for Greek Week, so it was really disheartening,” Lord said. “I felt bad for them, but it raises awareness about how serious breaking one rule can be.” Lake Orion junior Jennifer McNairnie, vice president of communications for the Panhellenic Council, said she was sympathetic for the suspended fraternities, but knew the policies needed to be upheld. “It’s sad to see them go but unfortunately, it was something that had to happen,” McNairnie said. “Hopefully, it will strengthen the rest of the community and we can all learn from this.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Students who have ever done research on a personal computer, relaxed with an iPod or found their way with a touchscreen smartphone have felt the impact of Steve Jobs. Jobs, 56, former CEO of Apple Inc. and internationally lauded technological visionary, died Wednesday after a sevenyear struggle with pancreatic cancer. His death came the day after the first major Apple product announcement, this time for the iPhone 4S, not revealed by Jobs himself since he resumed control of the company in 1997 after a corporate ouster in 1985. “Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last,” President Barack Obama said in a statement on the White House blog. “Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.” Posters circulated across campus for a Mac-

book-light vigil in memory of Jobs Thursday night at the pond outside of Charles V. Park Library, inviting participants to shine their Apple devices to commemorate “his indelible contributions to our lives.” Pinckney graduate student Ken Laczynski, who works as a lab consultant at the Woldt Lab, said while many students rely on iPods and iPhones they may not know of the man who is much of the reason for those devices’ existence. “I think a lot of people know Steve Jobs died and they all realize he invented the iPod,” Laczynski said. “Unless they know something about Macs, I highly doubt they know who Steve Jobs is.” He said his favorite product to be attributed to Jobs’ creative genius was the iPhone. Jobs may be best known among students for promoting Apple’s brand of trendy consumer technology, but he was also key in advancing the personal computer as a modern day necessity with the success of the Apple II in 1977. “When Jobs saw (Steve

with suggested resources for patients who need lab work, an MRI, chemotherapy or surgery. Patients who are experiencing serious symptoms should immediately go to the Emergency Room, King said. “The free clinic is not an emergency room,” she said. The release said to prove eligibility at the clinic, a resident will need a driver’s license or state-issued identification card showing a current address, pay

stubs, unemployment receipts or the most recent tax return. It also stated students will need to meet the same needs as other residents — being at 225 percent of poverty level with no insurance, if they want care. CMCH President and CEO Bill Lawrence said no one should have to suffer needless, acute health care events. “These efforts will lead to the day when none of our family, friends or

Wozniak’s personal computer) project, he wanted to make a business,” said Steven Levy, who has interviewed Jobs several times over several decades, in an article for Wired magazine. “While other home-brewers were also starting companies, Jobs was unique in understanding that personal computers could appeal to an audience far beyond geeks.” Bill Gates, former CEO of Microsoft, spent much of his professional career competing with Jobs, forming the long-standing “Mac vs. PC” debate that persists in the technological space today. “The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come,” Gates said on his personal blog. “For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.”

neighbors — with insurance, Medicare or not — will lack access to health care,” Lawrence said. Isabella Citizens for Health is also planning on opening a Federally Qualified Health Center in 12 to 18 months. It will provide all types of primary care to residents who do not have physicians nor receive primary care when they need it. The center will be open five days a week. The clinic and the health center are complementary, but not directly related because they are led by different organizations. metro@cm-life.com

Scenic train tour departs Saturday from Mountain Town Station By Melissa Beauchamp Staff Reporter

An hour-long, scenic train tour will help welcome the fall season Saturday. The train will depart at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. from Mountain Town Station, 506 W. Broadway St. The color tour will route up north of Clare before returning to Mount Pleasant. The trip was organized by Sam Staples, president of Ventures Plus, LLC, who started the color tour back in 1997 that has been running almost every year since. “It gives people an opportunity to ride in a deluxe railroad car, which is sort of a thing of the past,” he said. “You’ll see lots of deer and some turkey.” A double-decker coach car or two deluxe, private business cars that include refreshments, are available for participants. The coach car tickets are $20 and the busi-

ness car tickets are $30, which are available in the Commerce Center Building, 711 W. Pickard St., at the phonebook office. Staples, who owns the business car and said the trip is a good use for it, said Saturday should be a perfect day for a scenic journey through nature at its most beautiful time. “We hope the color will be good. It’s early for the color,” he said. “We had a frost so the color should be coming on pretty (well).” Michael Fick Assistant General Manager of Mountain Town Station Brewing Company & Steakhouse, 506 W. Broadway St., said Mountain Town was affiliated with the company in the past. Fick said they love to have trains come through the restaurant because it’s a renovated train station. “(It’s) fun for customers to see people boarding here from time-to-time,” he said.

He said the color tour is great for the community and downtown because it brings a lot of people to Mountain Town for drinks and food. Fick said he expects the same kind of turnout as last year coming in before or after their tour. One deluxe car can seat 12 people and offers a living room, dining room, bathrooms and showers. Another deluxe dome car has a large dome at the top that seats 12 people to look at nature at a much higher elevation, he said. There is room for approximately 200 for each trip, Staples said. “We probably will sell out or get pretty close to it,” he said. Staples said the point of the tour is not to make money. “We do it for the students and to give people a chance to ride on a nice train,” he said.

Assistant Director of Career Services Tori Stevens said she hopes to increase the number of students who sign up for mock interviews by 500 this year. About 2,000 mock interviews are done annually. The interviews, along with resume critiques, are some of the professional development opportunities Career Services offers all students free of charge. Stevens said students need to develop themselves professionally as soon as possible, rather than waiting until they are seniors. “It’s all about who they know and what they can bring to the table, which will land them the job at the end of the day,” Stevens said. However, some students said they feel career services does not advertise mock interviews well. Troy senior Anthony Rink, a construction management major, said the last time he remembered hearing about mock interviews was in a psychology

class sophomore year. At the time, he was not interested because of the schooling he still had to complete. Still, Rink said he is very interested in doing a mock interview before he graduates. “I figure that it is a good experience to go through before you have your first interview out of school,” Rink said. Chairman of the School of Accounting Professor Philip Kintzele, said mock interviews are so beneficial that five accounting classes require mock interview as an assignment for class credit. This is the third year with the requirement, he said. “Evidence has shown that it has helped position students in the job market,” Kintzele said. Students interested in scheduling a mock interview must first submit an updated resume to Central Michigan University’s eRecruiting website. Career services will then create a custom interview, matching the student’s career choices with specialized questions. The mock interviews are conducted by volunteer Human Resource undergraduate majors in their sophomore year or above.

The 45-minute interview is divided into two sections: a recorded interview and a review of the interview with feedback. After completing a mock interview, students receive a detailed hard copy of their evaluation and are taught resources for future interviewing success. Students should come to the interview prepared to learn and be open to constructive feedback, Stevens said. Rochester Hills senior Scott Walbrun highly recommended students to take advantage of the mock interviews. He participated in one as an assignment for his business communications class. “The interview was effective because you can never get enough opportunities to practice talking to people in a professional setting,” Walbrun said. “The fact that we were able to evaluate my abilities post-interview made the entire process very valuable.” Stevens said experiences like internships, part-time jobs and on- or off-campus organizations will ultimately land students jobs. “It’s not always about the LARGE 4.0 GPA,” hePIZZA said.

HATS temporarily lowers prices of animals to encourage adoptions By Caitlin Cheevers Staff Reporter

Isabella County residents looking for a new cat or dog will find lower prices through the Humane Animal Treatment Society this week. The annual event, AdoptA-Palooza, will take place from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. through Saturday. The Isabella County Animal Shelter, 1105 S. Isabella Road where the event will be held is hoping to adopt out many of the dogs and cats because of a steadily increasing population. “We have reached maximum capacity and want these animals to find loving homes during Adopt-APalooza,” said Jill Irving, executive director of HATS, in a press release. “The temperament testing is what allows us to match the adopters with the animals in the best way possible.”

The temporary decrease in price is intended to encourage people to adopt the shelter animals, which would prevent several euthanizations. “We are really slow on adoptions right now,” said Chelsea Tenwalde, kennel technician at HATS. Tenwalde said HATS has been euthanizing weekly because of space constraints. “We really don’t want to euthanize them,” she said. The price for a cat has dropped from $80 to $35, and the price for dog has dropped from $175 to $80. These prices include spaying and neutering, vaccinations and other shots the animals need. “In order for them to be adopted, they have to be spayed or neutered,” said Autumn Scott, feline technician at HATS. Scott said the most common problem with animal control is wild cats. Most, if

not all, are still fertile and have two to three litters per year. The kittens are then found and turned into the shelter, adding to the population increase. Summer and winter are the busiest seasons for the shelter because most wild animals mate in those seasons, Scott said. Adopt-A-Palooza will hopefully diminish the number of animals the shelter acquired in the summer, Tenwalde said. Another problem, however, is domestic cats that are not spayed or neutered, Scott said. This is why HATS requires all animals to be spayed or neutered before being considered for adoption. Questions about the adoption process can be directed to the shelter at 775-0830.

CMU football looks for first road win of 2011 By Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

Home field advantage has equaled victories for the Central Michigan football team this season. The team is undefeated at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium and winless on the road. The Chippewas look to break this predictability when they take on North Carolina State at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium.

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where we play these people,” said head coach Dan Enos. “They’re very good teams, so I don’t think our mindset has been poor when we’ve played (on the road this season).” Saturday marks the first time these two teams will meet, though CMU is 0-6 all-time against Atlantic Coast Conference teams. NC State quarterback Mike Glennon is averaging 248.4 pass yards

per game and has a 66 percent pass completion rate. CMU comes off a 48-41 shootout victory over Northern Illinois last week. Offensively, the team was led by a 387-yard day by quarterback Ryan Radcliff and a 225-yard performance by running back Paris Cotton. “We had a good game last week, but at the same time we can’t dwell on that,” Radcliff said. “We have to

move on. Last time we (played on the road) we went down to Michigan State and we didn’t do so hot, so we’re looking to redeem ourselves a little bit.” Cotton had the most recent success in the backfield, though it’s been a toss up on who will get the bulk of the carries this season. Enos said the senior back had a

Home means victories for soccer team CMU looks to extend winning streak this weekend By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

Sometimes there is just no place like home. The Central Michigan women’s soccer team is unbeaten in its last 29 home matches, going 26-0-3 during that stretch. “It’s impressive,” said junior forward Jennifer Gassman. “But we don’t like to focus on it. We just focus on one game at a time.” The Chippewas look to extend that streak this weekend against a pair of Mid-American Conference opponents. They host Miami at 4:30 p.m. today and Bowling Green at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the CMU Soccer Complex. Miami has struggled lately, losing its last three matches. The RedHawks lost CMU: (8-1-3, 2-1 Sept. 30 2-0-2 MAC) against Ball vs. Miami (6State and lost 5, 1-3 MAC) 3-0 against ToMAC) and ledo on SunBGSU (4-9, day. 1-3 MAC) Still, MU features a strong When: Today offensive at(Miami) tack, scoring and Sunday 1.91 goals-per (BGSU) game, which Times: 4:30 leads the MAC. p.m., 1:00 p.m. Sophomore respectively Kayla ZakrzeWhere: CMU wski leads the Soccer Comteam with six plex goals, while junior Jess Kodiak has five. “We are just going to do our job to the best of our ability and we’re going to try and execute things we are working on in training,” said head coach Neil Stafford. “If we can do that, then we will Neil Stafford be successful.” BGSU’s three-game goalless drought has left itself 0-3 during that span. The Falcons lost both of their games last weekend, 1-0 against Toledo and 2-0 against Ball State. Leading the way is Alyssa Zuccaro who has four goals on the season. No other player has more than one. After CMU tied Buffalo last weekend despite outshooting the Bulls 19-4, Stafford does not want his team to get consumed with the need to score, but rather the process of getting quality chances. “That’s going to be our mindset on Friday,” Stafford said. “It’s going to be, what we need to do that will eventually lead to a goal, and we need to execute those things.” The Chippewas do not have a prolific goal scorer this season, but have goals from ten different players. “It’s really nice because we have lots of people who can score and now we know they can score,” Gassman said. CMU will also look to extend its shutout streak to five games. They have not given up a goal in the last 427:50 of play. The Chippewas are 11-6-2 alltime versus Miami, winning the last three meetings and outscoring the RedHawks 6-0. They are 8-5-2 all-time against BGSU with wins in their past five games.

Freshman forward Laura Gosse has scored three goals so far this season making her tied for the lead for the team. Gosse scored her first goal against Indiana State in the 71st minute. She also scored 21 goals on her 18-U club team and plans on trying out for the Canadian National team.

Gosse makes impact as she adjusts to college lifestyle By Ryan Zuke | Staff Reporter

eing a freshman is never easy. The pressure to fit in, perform at a top level and adjust to college classes can be overwhelming for a young athlete — especially coming into a soccer program that has won backto-back Mid-American Conference championships and has led the nation in grade-point average the past six seasons. But freshman Laura Gosse has had little difficulty adjusting to pressure. She has already enjoyed a tremendous amount of success, scoring three goals, which is tied for the team lead. She is also second on the team with 16 shots. But possessing a scoring touch is nothing new for Gosse. The Ontario native scored 19 goals in a seven-game season in 2010 and 21 goals in 2009-10 playing for her U-18 indoor club team. Expecting that kind of production at the collegiate level is unrealistic, but she has the potential to turn into a dominant scorer for the Chippewas. “Just playing with the people I am, they help me a lot on the field,” Gosse said. “Their leadership has helped me grow a lot.” A GOSSE | 9

Volleyball plays Ball State, Toledo during weekend By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Almost every athletic team has injuries and the Central Michigan volleyball team fell into this category early in the season. However, it hopes that injuries are past the team as players become healthy. It enters the second half of a four-game homestand that began last weekend with victories over Eastern Michigan and Kent State with a full roster. The Chippewas play Ball State at 7 p.m. today and Toledo at 7 p.m. on Saturday in McGuirk Arena. “We’re able to work on our system and some little things on a daily basis,” said head coach Erik

Olson. “We’re not just working on basic things and basic plays, its more finesse.” Junior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude said having the team at full strength will help if the team starts to struggle during a match. The Chippewas had problems putting together a full match last weekend. After starting slow against Eastern Michigan by losing the first two games of the match they came back to win in five. Then after beating Kent State in the first two games they fell in game four and struggled to win the match in four. “That’s something we’ve been talking about,” Olson said. “I think the leadership has to take the bull by the horns and make sure it

doesn’t happen.” The Cardinals are on a six-game winning streak, not losing since Sept. 16 at Michigan State. “They’re (Ball State) the returning regular season champions and they’re winning a lot of matches,” Olson said. “The biggest thing is that we have to break them.” The Toledo Rockets are on the opposite trend of the Cardinals. The team lost both games at home last weekend. One against Western Michigan, the other against Northern Illinois. “They’ve (Toledo) switched up a lot of positions,” Olson said. “They’ve played a tough schedule. They have played some giants and will not be intimidated.”

UP NEXT CMU: (9-6, 2-2 MAC) vs. Ball State: (15-2, 4-0 MAC) and Toledo: (6-10, 1-3 MAC) When: Today (Ball State) and Saturday (Toledo) Time: 7:00 p.m. Where: McGuirk Arena

Glennon was efficient in the 45-35 loss to Georgia Tech last weekend. He was 20-of29 for 163 yards. He threw two touchdowns and one interception.

Washington led the Wolfpack in rushing last week. He rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown. However, he does split carries with Curtis Underwood.

Reason to watch: He will lead the Wolfpack offense against a CMU defense that has allowed more than 40 points in three straight weeks.

Reason to watch: He should lead the running game. His effectiveness will open the passing game.

Audie Cole — MLB Cole is leading the ACC with 7.5 tackles for loss, averging 1.5 per game. Reason to watch: He should be a force in the attempt to contain quarterback Ryan Radcliff and the CMU running backs.

Ryan Radcliff — QB

Reason to watch: It will be interesting to see how Radcliff responds on the road after his good start against Northern Illinois.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS Radcliff had his best game of the 2011 season last week. He was 17-of-28 for 387 yards and four touchdowns.

Paris Cotton — RB Cotton was arguably the best player on the field last week againt NIU. He rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 4 passes for 115 and two touchdowns. Reason to watch: Will head coach Dan Enos give Cotton more of a workload this week? Expect it.

Jahleel Addae — SS Addae has forced at least one turnover in threestraight weeks. In those games he has one forced fumble, one recovered fumble and three interceptions. Reason to watch: Addae has shown that he is the leader of this defense. His presence will be a major factor for CMU.

“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where we play these people. They’re very good teams, so I don’t think our mindset has been poor when we’ve played (on the road this season).” — Head coach Dan Enos

GAME | CONTINUED FROM 7

State, Alabama, Michigan and Texas A & M. Both teams have their strengths that CMU must be prepared for. “Toledo is a pretty good serving team and Ball State is just good,” Olson said. “This weekend has a lot to do with us. We need to pass a little bit better than last week and we need to continue to amp up our serves each week at a time.” Confidence is not low on the Chippewas sideline as they go in expecting to win both matches. “Our expectations are to go 2-0,” Dulude said. “We just need to play the best ball that we can.” Despite playing a full schedule of men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and gymnastics last winter, McGuirk Arena is making its official grand opening with this weekend’s matches. This weekend it is breast cancer awareness on campus. All of the proceeds from Friday’s match against Ball State go to Dig Pink to help find a cure for cancer.

GOSSE | CONTINUED FROM 7

Gosse knew about the recent success of the CMU soccer team. “I knew I was going to have to work hard in order to play and make an impact on the games,” Gosse said. In the 71st minute during a game against Indiana State, Gosse made eye contact with senior Claire Horton as she lobbed a pass over the top of the defenders. Five seconds later, the ball was in the back of the net and Gosse scored her first collegiate goal. The joy of scoring her first goal allowed her to boast a minor cheer for accomplishing this feat. Her teammates gave her a hard time for the celebration — of course it was all in good fun. “I like clapped for myself,” Gosse said. “It was really embarrassing, but I was really happy afterward, because scoring the first one is always the hardest.”

ROAD | CONTINUED FROM 7

good week of practice and he’ll get his share of touches this week with Anthony Garland, Tim Phillips and Ben Brown. “All four of those guys are going to play; all four had their moments at practice this week,” he said. “Paris helps those young guys out and he’s been a great leader in that group.” INJURY BUG Injuries continue to infect the young Chippewas team. The most recent scratch is true freshman Cody Lopez, who suffered an upper body injury that will sideline him Saturday. He started at linebacker last week against Northern Illinois to replace the injured Alex Smith and recorded 14 tackles. The team will also be

[SPORTS] FINDING A GOAL SCORER During her senior year in high school, Gosse wanted to come to a U.S. school because she believed it was better competition than the universities in Canada. However, she did not want to move too far from home. Gosse and her dad then began looking into clinics and found CMU’s clinic last December. She completed a successful clinic, scoring goals in bunches. She caught the eye of then head coach Tom Anagnost. When Anagnost decided to take the head coaching job at Miami University, the assistant coaches informed current head coach Neil Stafford of Gosse’s impressive showing at the clinic. As a result, Stafford went to watch her play in Canada and saw enough to bring her into the program. “I think finding goal scorers is difficult,” Stafford said. “And Laura Gosse scores goals. I saw a hard-working young woman who I think is going to be a real good college player.” Gosse had nothing but praise for Stafford, saying he without nose guard John Williams (knee), linebacker Alex Smith (concussion), defensive end Darryll Stinson and defensive back Kyle Smith. “We’re a little banged up on defensive especially,” said defensive captain Mike Petrucci. “We’re trying to move guys around to cover for those banged up guys. “We’re 5 to 6 weeks into the season, so we’re getting used to the young guys being around us.” True freshman Ryan Petro will start his second collegiate game at linebacker, replacing Lopez. “(Petro) started against Michigan State,” Enos said. “He’ll play hard, he’ll make some mistakes, but he’s athletic and tough. He has a great mentality and the more he plays, the better he’s going to get.” Eight freshmen made the defensive depth chart this week and 10 others on the offensive list for a team that

Laura Gosse, freshman

was easy to talk with and has helped her out during practice. “He knows when to pick you up when you’re down and he knows when to be tough on you so that you get better,” Gosse said. She also gave a lot of credit to her family who were supportive in whatever decision she made — even if it didn’t include soccer. Even with her early success, Gosse knows there is still room for improvement. Four games into the season against Kentucky, a Southeastern Conference opponent, Gosse had a chance to win the game in overtime. She had a one-on-one opportunity with just her and the goalkeeper, but failed to convert as CMU eventually lost to Kentucky 2-1, its only continues to rotate guys in. A bright spot has been safety Jahleel Addae, who forced a turnover in threestraight games. The junior recovered a fumble against Western Michigan and intercepted a pass in the MSU game before recording two interceptions, a forced fumble and 18 tackles last week against the Huskies. “(Addae) is a vocal guy; he’s real loud,” Petrucci said. “He plays loud too, he hits hard and it really gives us an energy boost, especially for the secondary.” NCS has given up the most sacks in the ACC (16), an opportunity the young CMU defense may capitalize on. A win this weekend would snap a six-game non-conference road-losing streak, dating back to the 29-27 win against Michigan State in 2009. sports@cm-life.com

loss of the season. The biggest aspect for Gosse is to maintain her composure. She realizes if she makes a mistake, she just has to do better next time and keep improving. When her collegiate career is over, Gosse aspires to keep playing soccer at the professional level or with the Canadian national team. After her soccer playing days are over, she hopes to pursue a career in criminology. “I know a couple of people from my home town that have tried out for Canada and even if I don’t make it, it is still a great experience,” Gosse said.

HOROSCOPES Libra – Pctober 7, 2011 By Becky Black Tribune Media Services (MCT) Today’s Birthday (10/07/11). Your magnetic attraction is increasing. Take advantage of this situation. You can really pull forward to accomplish goals and projects that seemed stuck before. Try a slightly different path to sidestep obstacles. The door is wide open. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) – Today is an 8 – Surround yourself with supportive friends. Listen and provide comfort and resources in return. Avoid charging ahead without checking the blueprint first. Ask your family for counsel. Taurus (April 20-May 20) – Today is an 8 – Communications improve greatly and so does your attitude. You find excellent inspiration in a partner and friends. Take the next step with confidence. Gemini (May 21-June 21) – Today is an 8 – As you care for your investments, watering the seeds that you planted, you may have to make a difficult decision that ultimately results in future growth.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) – Today is a 6 – You’re both your best and worst critic today. Take your diatribes with a grain of salt, and pay attention to any brilliant ideas. Let others moderate. Make decisions later. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – Today is an 8 – Everything’s possible today, especially if you can work as a team. Take advantage of new openings in the interaction channels. Do what seems right. Share the glory. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Today is a 7 – Draw a new door on the wall with a piece of chalk. Make your own opportunities. Dare to imagine invisible possibilities. Bring the chalk along. You never know when you’ll need it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Today is an 8 – Follow the rules to keep things in order. The impossible is beginning to look manageable ... even easy. Your friends are there to help. Take a class or seminar to increase skill. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Today is an 8 – Find strength with structure. You could take on a

home improvement or decoration project. Get in communication with a distant friend for advice. Use your connections. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Today is a 7 – Consider a simple, direct (yet creative) solution, rather than the more convoluted way. Stay calm to save money. Your spiritual practices clear your mind. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Today is a 9 – Your typical persistent efficiency serves you well today. Call for reinforcements, if needed. An investment in your home could work. Draw the blueprints, and line up financing. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – Today is a 9 – Work may require some travel. See if you can squeeze in some fun, too. Follow an educated hunch, and collaborate with a colleague who has the knowledge you lack. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Today is a 7 – Persistent action can open new doors. Try to guess the magic words, and send them out. Follow your intuition (and a map). Trust your heart.
