FA, CMU REACH THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT By Ariel Black Managing Editor and Theresa Clift University Editor

The Faculty Association and Central Michigan University reached a tentative agreement on a threeyear contract after 14 hours of negotiations Thursday. The news was released at 11:30 p.m. by Director of Public Relations Steve Smith. The bargaining was facilitated by Isabella County Circuit Court Judge

Paul H. Chamberlain, but details of the agreement are not being released until it is ratified by FA members and CMU. “CMU and the FA were in court for a hearing on a request by CMU to make a preliminary injunction permanent, forbidding the faculty from staging a strike and for a ruling on the appropriate legal venue for hearing a lawsuit filed by the FA against CMU regarding Public Act 54,” the release stated. Smith declined further comment than what was stated in the release.

The FA has a meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. Sunday night at the Mount Pleasant High School Auditorium, 1155 S. Elizabeth St. The FA is challenging PA 54, which prevents public employees from earning “wage step increases” after the expiration of a contract. About 40 CMU faculty members have been affected by this law, and CMU is trying to change the venue of the PA 54 lawsuit from Isabella to Ingham County, Frey told CM Life in a previous report. Bargaining between the FA and

CMU first started in April, and both filed for fact-finding in July. Factfinder Barry Goldman released his non-binding set of recommendations Oct. 31 to remedy the fivemonth contract impasse. In his recommendation, Goldman favored the university on salary and benefits and the FA in retirement and promotion issues. CMU adopted all of Goldman’s recommendations in the university’s final offer, including a pay freeze for one year and modest increases for the following two. It also

allowed FA members to keep MESSA as a primary insurance provider until June 30, 2012, under certain conditions. The FA rejected the university’s “final offer” for a contract on Nov. 11. The FA proposed a one-year contract on Nov. 22, instead of a three-year contract, and agreed to a one-year pay freeze. The FA also withdrew its proposal for a $600 signing bonus for 12-month faculty.

CMED funding hiked by millions for research

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

Provost Gary Shapiro said Central Michigan University increased the estimated startup cost for the College of Medicine because some assumptions about the project have changed over time. Shapiro said in an email to the campus community Nov. 11 that CMU estimates the startup cost for CMED is “likely to exceed $30 million.” The university initially set aside $25 million over five years to fund CMED startup. The initial vision for CMED emphasized only teaching issues, rather than research, Shapiro said. The estimates now include preparing excellent physicians, as well as engaging in high-quality research and PERRY FISH/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

clinical opportunities, he said. The university also anticipates the need for an additional $3 million in continuing annual support for the medical program, he said in the release. Shapiro said CMU does not tag dollars, so he does not know how much money from tuition has gone toward funding CMED. He said, however, tuition has not been increased because of CMED. “Although we don’t tag dollars, we have not raised tuition to pay for the College of Medicine,” he said. Shapiro said the projections were only projections. He said CMU has been able to fund CMED through a variety of revenue sources and cost savings, including energy expenses. A CMED | 2A

Thirteen undergraduate programs received the rank of Priority 1 in the Academic Prioritization preliminary report released by Provost Gary Shapiro in October.

Enos will return next season Heeke: ‘I fully support Dan’ By John Manzo Sports Editor

Head coaching opportunities open up every year in every sport. But this season the Central Michigan University football team won’t have a vacancy. “Absolutely, without question,” said CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke when asked if head coach Dan Enos would be back for a third season. “I just fully support Dan and his vision for the program. We’re in a process. You just can’t look at it as these mini slices in time. We’re in a process of trying to

build a program.” Heeke said this after backto-back 3-9 seasons, but said he believes the team was competitive all season, despite facing numerous amounts of injuries throughout the season, and he credited Enos for keeping the team focused. After losing Dan LeFevour, Antonio Brown, Frank Zombo and former head coach Butch Jones in 2009, the team went into rebuilding mode. “We’ve had three head coaches in six years here and transition is always a challenge,” Heeke said. “Coach Enos and his staff came in at the end of an unbelievable run; the greatest run of football here. Some people

may argue that, but looking at it historically, that was one of the greatest runs we have ever had.” Critics of the team blame the Enos hire because the team shied away from what worked: a spread offense. Enos runs a multiple, more pro-style offense, but Heeke doesn’t see that as the reason for losing. “I think this is way overanalyzed,” Heeke said about the offensive system. “I think you need to play with the players you have. Systems don’t win games, players and their execution and the style of football you play ultimately continues to win games.” “I don’t like to look at hypothetical situations because I don’t think that’s

to bring programs up to date. Neuroscience was the only CHSBS undergraduate program to be ranked in Priority 1. “It was an opportunity to reflect on what we do well and what we can do better,” Gates said. “We decided which programs were strong and which we needed to invest money in.” As the largest college in the university, Gates said CHSBS could easily commit $900,000 to prioritization each year. Part of the CHSBS wish list, Gates said, was to have more post-doctoral professors in each department because they bring new energy to the field. A REPORT | 2A

CHSBS spent more than 30 hours making these decisions. Gates said the hearings were organized so a department put together the recommendations and another department presented them to the college. It was an effective way to see how the college fits together, Gates said. Dearborn senior Rich Brewis is double-majoring in management and international business and said he feels well-prepared to enter the workforce. “I’ve always felt that CMU’s business schools didn’t get enough recognition,” Brewis said. Brewis is president of the Central Michigan University American Marketing Association and a member of the logistics management council executive board. The College of Business Administration received a Priority 1 for its international business major, professional sales concentration in the marketing major and the logistic management major. Brewis said his studies have prepared him to lead. Dean of College of Communication and Fine Arts Salma Ghanem said CCFA began more than a year ago with analysis of reports from the chairperson of each department. They were ranked by importance, quality and by opportunities for growth and improvement, Ghanem said. She said they looked at enrol-

CMU was fourth in the state for new freshmen before funding for CMED began, and it continues to be fourth in the state, Shapiro said. He said undergraduate enrollment has also increased because some students are attending CMU because they want to attend the new medical school. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education visited campus Nov. 13 through 16 to decide if CMED will move toward earning academic accreditation. Dr. Ernest Yoder, founding dean of CMED, said in an email the planning is inclusive of research and clinical services. He said questions regarding the need for clinical and research programs were asked during the initial planning for CMED and reviewed in the context of LCME standards upon his

arrival as CMED dean. “LCME standards make clear the expectation that medical students must have the opportunity to participate in research,” he said. “Medical students are trained at clinical sites, and CMED must be in a position to assure that our students train in excellent, state-ofthe-art clinical sites.” After an initial email interview, follow-up questions about how much, if any, of the original estimated cost included research, and when they were aware extra funding would be necessary by Shapiro or Yoder were not answered. “Unfortunately, both Shapiro and Yoder are unavailable due to meetings,” Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said in an email. “It is my understanding that (Central Michigan Life has) already had an opportunity to speak with both of them regarding this story.” un i ve rs ity@c m-li fe.com

Pearce 137, and about 15 to 20 people show up to any given meeting, Jerolamon said. “To my knowledge, they’ve given about 1 million pairs of shoes away in 26 countries,” Jerolamon said. The company also sells sunglasses, and every pair of sunglasses sold provides eye care for someone who cannot afford it, she said. “We’re here to raise awareness, have fun (and) give back what we raise,” Jerolamon said. Southfield junior Chelsey Jackson said she was excited to do something enjoyable to wrap up the semester. “It takes my mind off of finals,” she said. “It’s just something different to do and it goes to a good cause.” Jackson said she heard about the organization last year and was drawn to it because of some of the things it does, such as barefoot walks around campus and the speakers it brings to

Central Michigan University. “I think the organization does great things and people don’t even realize it,” said Macomb Township junior Allison Kropf. “These problems are fixable if more people are aware this is going on.” Kropf said the organization has been on campus for four years. The RSO is more about awareness, she said, but it also helps to raise money for the organization. For example, last year there was a benefit concert called ‘Rock your TOMS off.’ “I liked it when they started with the shoes, because I’ve traveled and I’ve seen there’s a lot of need,” said Shelby Township freshman Ariel Pscheidl. When TOMS started doing one-for-one sunglasses with eye care, Pscheidl said she became even more interested because she is going into optometry.

ment, outreach, how students are doing, qualitative and quantitative data. CCFA had a set percentage of programs that could receive a Priority 1. Provost Gary Shapiro tweaked CCFA’s recommendations very little, Ghanem said. “I think it was a very valuable process,” Ghanem said. “The department had to look at what we need.” Ghanem said programs in Priority 5 often have had no majors or very few in previous years. The Broadcast and Cinematic Arts department received a Priority 1 based on major equipment needs, Ghanem said. “Programs constantly evolve,” Ghanem said. “I was impressed at all levels. Everyone wants to continue making this a great place.” Terry Beehr, graduate coordinator of Industrial and Organizational Psychology said in an email the university’s interorganizational Ph. D program was ranked Priority 1 because it has ranked well nationally, even ahead of better-known universities. “The field of I/O Psychology

has a high demand for graduates, a demand that is increasing,” Beehr said. “Both an internal and an external review had concluded that the program had accomplished its prominence with fewer faculty than most top-ranked programs.” Professor of Psychology Gary Dunbar said the neuroscience department provides outstanding training for undergraduate and graduate students. He said neuroscience faculty are required to publish and write grants regularly. “I think we richly deserved the priority partly because we work extremely hard,” Dunbar said. “We have a passion for teaching and research.” This accomplishment presented a need for new faculty, but will not be forthcoming in the future, Beehr said. “What we do is important,” Gates said. “Our college brings in $78 to $80 million in revenue.” The College of Science and Technology received a Priority 1 in biochemistry, computer engineering and environmental science.

Isabella County receives $2.28 million from tribe Distributions lowest in 15 years By Jackie Smith Online Coordinator

St. Clair sophomores Alyssa Thompson and Alycia Melick exhibit the different reactions toward seeing an advertisement by a CMU student looking for a girlfriend.

‘looking for

GIRLFRIEND’

Male posts ad on bulletin boards By Jordan Spence | Senior Reporter

ulletin boards on campus are typically covered with sub-leasing and concert fliers, but one student used the form of advertising to look for a girlfriend. “I’m sick of being single and all alone,” said Nick, who asked to be referred to by his first name. “Sure you could randomly approach someone at the bar or on campus, but I thought it might be easier posting an ad on the billboard.” The flier, with “LOOKING FOR GIRLFRIEND” in large, bold font at the top, lists Nick’s interests and the qualities he would like in a girlfriend, along with an email address where he can be reached. On the flier, Nick listed hobbies he enjoys including traveling, photography, “improving my culinary talents (a.k.a. cooking)” and reading non-fiction books, among others. Because Nick is a senior finishing school and moving on in May, he said his days of going out and partying are over and he’s ready to meet someone to have something more serious with.

Other dating avenues such as online dating did not appeal to him because he said the sites seem to be mostly for older people and not college students. “I’ve dated off and on like a lot of other college students,” he said. “I had girlfriends in high school. I’ve never done anything like this before, though. I am by no means a hermit or some sort of nerd or geek who doesn’t have social skills. I just thought this was an easy way to perhaps find a girlfriend.” So far he has received a handful of responses and has been on a date with one of the respondents.

Mount Pleasant sophomore Jill Burden said she would possibly respond to an ad like Nick’s. “I think it’s pretty clever,” she said. “I would just want to meet him because he sounds funny.” At first, South Haven senior Alyssa Degrandchamp thought it was a joke and said it was funny, but could see how someone single would take interest in the ad. Mount Pleasant sophomore Katie Dartt said she would never answer an ad like the one Nick posted. “It just seems weird to me,” she said. “This isn’t match.com, it’s CMU.” His friends have been supportive so far, but he was disappointed when a couple of the fliers were vandalized and he received confrontational emails about what he stated he was looking for in a woman. Under a section titled “What I’m Looking For” the flier said “Please be height-weight proportional — in other words ... I’m not interested in an overweight girl.” “I clearly stated what I was seeking in my ad. I

guess they objected to the fact that I wasn’t attracted to overweight girls,” he said. “I know that may sound crude, but I am who I am. I don’t find overweight women attractive and if I’m going to date someone or get into a relationship, I ought to be allowed to discriminate against girls who I find unattractive.” In a comment handwritten at the bottom of one ad posted in the Charles V. Park Library someone wrote “Dude, it’s OK ... we don’t need pictures to know that you’re shallow.” Nick said he is not concerned about what people think of the ad or him and he does not find it any different than dating websites or newspaper personal ads. “Nobody is forcing anyone to look at the ad or to contact me, so I don’t see how it really matters what I wrote about myself,” he said. “For the most part, I don’t care what other people on campus think, I’m more concerned about protecting myself from potential stalkers and deviants.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Capital projects and community programs in Isabella County got a $2.28-million boost on Wednesday when the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe released its decision on recipients of the 2 percent allocation funds. Twice a year since 1994, the tribe has distributed 2 percent of its gaming revenue. This year’s fall distribution, which includes more than $670,600 to Arenac County, was the lowest in 15 years. The city of Mount Pleasant received about 23 percent of this fall’s funds for three youth-related programs, street overlays and a new corporate hangar at its municipal airport. Its distribution also included funds for an eight-person street team with the Bay Area Narcotics Enforcement Team, the application for which the city administered.

CM-LIFE.COM w For more information check the online story

In total, the city had applied for $1.6 million worth of projects. But City Manager Kathie Grinzinger said officials “never presuppose” which application the tribe will select. “It is fair that we look at those things that will benefit both the tribal community and the city,” she said, “because the funds are raised through the tribe’s effort to keep Soaring Eagle (Casino & Resort) healthy.” According to the tribe’s news release, more than 410 individual requests and supporting documents had been provided by local governments for consideration. Tribal spokesman Frank Cloutier said the tribal council spends several work sessions over several weeks deliberating what applications it will accept. “As we said during the distribution, we don’t want people to be discouraged because their requests weren’t honored,” he said. “There’s so many that have tremendous merit.”

Pre-dental students assist dentist with Group looking into surgery, prepare for future careers building regulation SWIM AND DIVE CLUB

By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

pool on campus By Catey Traylor Staff Reporter

The Swim and Dive Club is working toward an addition to campus they believe will benefit the student body and Mount Pleasant community. Adding a regulation-size pool on campus would allow for Central Michigan University to have a varsity swim and dive team, which has not been around since the late ‘80s. Swim and Dive Club President and Fenton senior Eric Murray said he has been working on this project for about two years. “No actual steps have been taken yet, but I’ve been talking with people in the athletic department to see what to do to get the ball rolling,” Murray said. Assistant Director of Aquatics and Safety Ira Wrestler said Murray has been in contact with him regarding plans for the pool and confirmed that nothing is final yet. Club member Corey Rubino,

a Lansing freshman, has been helping out with the plans. “We’re basically getting all the pieces in place to present something to the university about our plans,” Rubino said. “We need to be able to show them how much it would cost, where it would go, who besides the team would use it and how it would benefit the university. It’s a long process.” The pool in Rose Arena doesn’t meet the National Collegiate Athletic Association standards according to their website. It violates the starting block rule, is too shallow and the lanes do not stay a consistent depth. “The Rose pool is not up to NCAA standards,” Wrestler said. “It needs to be deeper to dive from starting blocks and remain a consistent depth through the entire lane.” Troy sophomore Lindsey Siroonian is on the Club Water Polo Team and said she has noticed the poor condition of the Rose Arena pool.

Three pre-dental students had an opportunity to practice their field in a way not usually accessible to undergraduates. Travis Cordell, James Singer and Kevin Donovan assisted Dr. Norman Dzingle in performing dental surgery last Tuesday at Central Michigan Community Hospital, 1221 South Dr. The patient was placed under a general anesthetic and 15 tooth extractions were done. Cordell, a Mount Pleasant senior, said two of them would assist Dzingle at a time by suctioning and keeping the patient’s tongue and lips out of the way while Dzingle drilled. The third person handed instruments to the others and observed. “We just rotated so all of us could get a chance to assist, and then during the whole thing we got to learn a lot. I mean, Doc’s really good at talking through everything he does and telling us why he’s doing it,” Cordell said. Singer, a Macomb senior,

said he is grateful to Dr. Dzingle and CMCH for the opportunity. “Doc explains all the techniques he’s learned over the years, and he’s practiced for more than 35 years, so he has picked up so much since dental school,” he said. “A lot of people go into the health field without going in and seeing blood; you don’t really know how you’re going to react to it. I know some people who have completely changed career paths because they couldn’t do it.” Singer said the surgery took about three hours, and the patient needed all teeth extracted to have dentures put in. “This time, the patient wasn’t awake, and with any of my other experiences of assisting, it has always been at Doc’s office and he has only used local anesthetic, which is like a shot you get in your mouth,” he said. Singer said he and Cordell have been working for Dzingle since February, with Donovan being hired later. “It was a great opportunity, and I didn’t think I’d

ever get to do something like that as an undergrad. It really gave us some insight in the different areas of dentistry, and some exposure to things we had not seen before,” Donovan said. “And to get up close and personal like that is awesome.” Donovan, a Williamston senior, said working at the office with Dzingle is better than shadowing because he gets to see everything that goes into the business.

“When you shadow, usually, you more or less just see a certain degree of it. You just see the procedure, but with this job we’re able to see the whole nine yards and everything that goes into it,” Donovan said. “That’s really eye-opening and helpful to me in deciding whether I want to do it or not. It’s a realyl cool opportunity.” metro@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | CMED answers are few and far between

Hold us accountable

he College of Medicine has asked for a lot from Central Michigan University:

Funds until they can be reimbursed by donations, patience, special consideration for contract concerns and well-paid staff for a not-yet-profitable program, to name a few. But there is one very important thing it has not given in return. Accountability. Accountability does not allow for and announcement of $5 million more in upfront costs and an estimated additional $3 million more yearly to be appended to the end of a press release sent out on a Friday afternoon — sneaking the figures into the public record mere days before those numbers would be presented to an international accreditation organization.

Accountability does not allow research costs — obviously a substantial concern for a graduate school at a public university — to be either forgotten or de-emphasized in initial estimates. It does not allow a provost, who said in a talk with Central Michigan Life’s editorial board he was dedicating “50 percent” of his time to CMED, to neglect said figures. CMED does require a great degree of oversight, but if a program receiving such a large share of his attention is allowed to play so fast and loose with financing, it’s concerning to think what may be happening with programs receiving much smaller fractions of his time. The Academic Senate has made

efforts to establish greater transparency regarding CMED, particularly in terms of curriculum and finance, but they have been unable to establish an open, cooperative relationship. Further, the A-Senate seems unsure about how much power it truly wields in this situation, if any at all. Students, alumni and taxpayers looking for accountability from the rest of the administration or the A-Senate, neither of whom seem to know what measures taken in protest of CMED actually mean, will not have much luck, either. There is only one place left to look. The CMU Board of Trustees must not pass the buck back down to University President George Ross. It must not rubber stamp more measures proposed by officials who seem less and less competent in the

task set before them. There are plenty of hardworking, intelligent Mount Pleasant residents who could approve and move items to the consent agenda just as well as our trustees do, if that’s all we ask of them. In a system where cooperation between faculty and administration collapsed, it falls to the Board of Trustees to hold those responsible for the university’s most audacious project accountable for, well, accounting. Consider this to be this editorial board’s plea to those entrusted by the State of Michigan to guide the development of CMU: Do not do the easy thing. Make the administration, the faculty, the students’ and your own lives harder now so we may have a better university tomorrow. Hold us accountable.

It isn’t the Christmas season without exams ‘Tis the season of cramming for finals. I know it’s college, but I would much rather be watching “Elf.” The only cramming that should be going on is watching Buddy the Elf write an apology note for cramming 11 cookies into the VCR — which sometimes I feel like doing. Trying to find a seat at the library this time of the year is like going through the seven levels of the candycane forest and through the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops. Not to mention, everyone looks like they thoroughly hate their lives. Finals are stressful. Professors act like it’s no big deal. “The exam is over Chapters 1 through 22. Study your notes.” Sound familiar? Somehow, they always manage to wrap up the entire semester into a stapled 8.5- by 11-inch paper that weighs heavily on the final grade — or as I like to think of it, “the maker or the breaker.” The time it takes to prepare for exams is more than a full-time job. Plus overtime. I can’t help but think about all the better, Christmas-productive things I could be doing. Buddy seems to have it all figured out, like engaging in festive activities such as making snow angels for two hours, ice skating, eating a whole roll of Tollhouse cookiedough and snuggling. That sounds entirely more appealing than studying molecular shapes. I feel like a 12-year-old again anticipating Christmas and all the festivity the season brings, not to mention my inability to sit down with a book in front of me. To maintain some sort of energy, I deplete my body with the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup. Christmas is a season of giving and spending time with family and friends. The lights, the music, sitting by the fire, the Christmas cookies and the mistletoe, of course, all contribute to the magic of the season. Even though exams surely put a damper on the magical time of the year, we need to keep one thing in mind — Christmas is all about giving. We are all here to build the proper foundation to make a difference in the world, while following our passions. We have the gift and the ability to learn and receive an education, so why not share our knowledge with the world? But nevertheless, exams still suck. The overwhelming feeling pumping through my entire body for two weeks is finally released the moment I step out of the doors of my last final exam. Finally I can breathe. And what’s the first thing I do? Pack up my things and put on Faith Hills’ “Where are you Christmas?” Finally, the festivities will begin.

[YOUR VOICE] Comments in response to “EDITORIAL: The cost of being thrifty” cmumom, Tuesday Most kids can’t even get a job at Central. My daughter goes there full-time, on danceteam and works. But no-one gives you the 20 hrs required by Snyder for foodstamp assistance. I am a single mom..28,000 a year trying to help these kids. She will be paying a hefty price for school , in the end and struggling to keep good grades to boot. We say they need education to get a good paying job.. But they need to study..have time to study to get those grades. Quit taking away from the low-income and elderly..I am talking about “assisting” our future..entitlements..ha..a joke..I try for everything I can and still don’t qualify..call me the working poor but I trudge on. My boss hired four more doctors and no staff..so there goes Snyders great “lets give small business owners a big tax decrease” He bought a new condo..just got a fax for over 15,000 light fixtures only...These small businesses are reaping the benefits..not hiring the layed off..OPEN YOUR EYES!! We are getting screwed..I work but still need assistance.. manthor, Thursday When your parents went to college it was not as ridiculously expensive as it is today.

so freely available, colleges will not fill all of their seats, the decline in demand will result in a decline in tuition rates. On the current path where does it end? $600/credit hour? $800/ credit hour? As long as loan money is freely available tuition will continue to go up until they find the breaking point. Maybe OWS did one useful thing: show that the breaking point is being reached. And for God’s sake, get rid of these degree programs that do nothing to make people employable in the real world... or stop giving loans to people majoring in unmarketable degrees. Michmediaperson, Thursday Right on Manthor Degrees in Hyphenated-American Studies, Women’s Studies, all the PC studies don’t make people employable. CmuMsufan, Thursday Michmediaperson: my partner has a PC (Comparative Cultures and Politics) degree from MSU... he is now employed by General Electric working as a contract manager, has full benefits, doesn’t have to pay for moving/travel expenses, and gets 3 weeks of vacation time per year. Sorry, but the Private Sector you love so much is hiring politically correct people with politically correct degrees. In fact, my partner is not the only PC/CCP major hired by GE from State... GE never hired any Business majors this year. Why? Because PC people are well-rounded, hard working individuals studying aspects of different cultures. Maybe it doesn’t work for CMU graduates, but it’s working at other universities.

Comment in response to “SEX ADVICE COLUMN: More experienced than my boyfriend” ELK, Wednesday Best Line: “Women need to start choosing single life over settling for ....” We do not need to settle. This is how women end up in dead-end, or worse, abusive relationships. Value yourself, ladies!! Comment in response to “COLUMN: Romney’s unwanted balance best bet in general election” Michael Towshack, Thursday What a great diversity of columns Central Michigan Life has. Representing the fraudulent ‘left-right paradigm’ you have on one side the neoliberal and former president of the College Democrats Brad O’Donnell writing his “column,” and in the other corner you have neoconservative and sitting president of the College Republicans Nathan Inks writing his “column;” both of course urging the reader to vote according to their party affiliation. In all honesty Inks and O’Donnell prattle on as if there is a difference between Obama and Romney, or as if there is a difference between Bush and Obama for that matter. This is the great debate taking place in college newspapers nationwide, Obama vs. Romney? Albert Einstein is credited as saying the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Yet, here we are with Inks and O’Donnell advocating the reader to do the same things over again.

Supercommittee failure With the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, more commonly known as the “Supercommittee,” having failed to reach its deadline to propose reductions of $1.5 trillion from the federal deficit over the next 10 years, automatic cuts to the budget will soon be taking place. Many in the Republican Party are now strongly voicing opposition to the automatic cuts that will be made to the defense budget, totalling approximately $600 billion. But do the Republicans have a legitimate reason to call “foul” and argue against the proposed defense cuts? To answer this question, the formation of the Supercommittee itself must be examined. The Supercommittee was established by the Budget Control Act of 2011, which allowed Congress to raise the debt ceiling as long as they cut $1.2 trillion from the deficit. The Supercommittee was tasked with giving a proposal to cut at least $1.5 trillion, with a deadline of Nov. 23. If Congress fails to propose $1.2 trillion in cuts by Dec. 23, raising the debt ceiling — something necessary to keep our economy afloat — would result in automatic cuts evenly distributed between defense and non-defense programs. The Supercommittee failed to submit a proposal, and unless a small miracle happens, Congress will not come to an agreement by Dec. 23. Defense officials and many Republicans are now saying that such drastic defense cuts put our nation at risk, and many have committed to fighting to see that those cuts do not take place. The problem with this is those same Republicans agreed to those automatic cuts back in August. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are to blame here. Both sides need to realize that if we are to reduce the deficit, there has to be some give and take. For Republicans, that is probably going to mean some kind of tax increase. For Democrats, it will probably mean some sort of entitlement reform, whether that is to Medicare, Social Security or both. Of all the blame-throwing going on, the person seeming to be getting hit the most is President Obama, which is ironic, as he deserves practically no blame. We have three branches of government, and the Executive Branch is not responsible for proposing laws; that job falls to Congress. Against the wishes of members of his own party, Obama did more than required by proposing one potential plan, and he has made it clear what he will and will not accept in the bill. The rest is up to Congress. Right now the Republicans are squandering an opportunity to make gains in Congress by being unwilling to compromise, and stubbornness for the sake of stubbornness will not sit well with the American people come Election Day. Editor’s note: Nathan Inks is the current president of the College Republicans.

Midland freshman Tyler Hitchcock sits beside his Mount Pleasant Little League booth during the Student Research and Creative Endeavors exhibition Wednesday afternoon at the Education and Human Services building. Hitchcock got involved with the organization at the start of this year helping grant children ages seven through twelve the opportunity to participate in their Little League games with a scoreboard at Pickens Field in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

More than 170 students participate in 19th annual SRACE exhibition By Shelby Miller Staff Reporter

Raymond Francis said each year the quality of research and projects done by students gets better at the annual SRACE exhibition. Wednesday marked the 19th Student Research and Creative Endeavors showcase of students’ engagement in handson, self-directed learning in the College of Education and Human Services. “The best part is getting to talk to the students,” said Francis, interim associate dean of the college of EHS. “They’re so excited about their projects.” From noon until 3 p.m. on Wednesday, snacks and refreshments were served and more than 170 students lined the hallways of the EHS building presenting research from EHS and the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences. Fifty-six presentations highlighted student creativity, critical thinking and problemsolving skills through various academic projects on topics students chose. Francis said the showcase is beneficial to students because

it is good for them to have a choice in what they’re learning. Beginning as a classroom project, SRACE has grown over the years to include the entire EHS college, Francis said. St. Charles freshman Paige Kushion took part in SRACE for her FYE 100: First Year Experience class. Kushion and her partner, New Boston freshman Angela Gucciardo, chose to highlight the Special Olympics in their presentation. Kushion said she wants to raise awareness of the Young Athletes program, which incorporates children ages 2 to 7 who are too young to be accepted into the Special Olympics program. “I know people who are in the Special Olympics program but they have to wait until they’re older to compete,” Kushion said. The Young Athletes program helps to raise awareness of the capabilities of the youth in the program, she said. Kushion said she spent more than six hours working on her final project, which was composed of a PowerPoint class presentation and a display board used for SRACE.

Midland senior Bradley Venman researched the Mount Pleasant Center for a class, alongside Holland senior Katlyn Sweet. The pair spent more than 40 hours working together to find information about why the institution was initially supported and why it was shut down. Sweet said they originally chose to cover the center because they wanted to know more about it and what it was. “I drive past the property every day and get an eerie feeling,” Sweet said. “It’s very relatable.” After three to four weeks worth of research from the Charles V. Park Library interviewing community members, the two discovered more about the topic than they first expected. “If you dig deeper, you can get a lot more information than if you just go online,” Venman said. They both agreed that SRACE taught them how to properly research and how to follow through with their research. “The project is showing how to benefit yourself as a future educator,” Venman said. university@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant launched a new website Wednesday that bears a strong resemblance to Central Michigan University’s homepage — something city officials said was not unintentional. Earlier this week, city commissioners had a preview of the site before its official launch. City Manager Kathie Grinzinger said the city’s partnership with CMU has evolved over the last 12 months with the hope each site will “sport similar looks linking us more in the eyes and memories of our users.” “The city (has) had a Web presence for many, many years, but the look, feel and operation of that site hasn’t substantially been updated for nearly that long,” Grinzinger said. To remain a community trumpeting a competitive sense of place, she added, “It’s critical that our public face match our vision.” Stephanie Brown, the project’s Web content manager, said CMU had developed a

“We have to pay $125 to use that pool for my club and it’s not a pool worthy of $125,” Siroonian said. “During practice, if things hit the walls, the soundproofing squares near the ceiling will just fall off.” Adding a more functional pool on campus will serve more purposes than just gaining a new pool and a varsity swim team, Rubino said. Gaining approval for the pool would take a series of steps. “We’ve been talking to people in the city of Mount Pleasant that have been very beneficial,” Murray said. CMU Board of Trustees Chairwoman Sarah Opperman verified those steps as what would need to be completed before meeting with the trustees. The Swim and Dive Club plans to pursue the project as spring semester approaches. No official costs have been determined for the pool but Murray estimated about a quarter of a million dollars in costs to maintain a varsity team. “Nothing’s official yet, it’s just something we’re trying to gain support for and we really want to get going,” Rubino said.

However, Cloutier added, “Sometimes priority takes precedent to what has merit.” Not including BAYANET applications, the city’s fall distribution funding has decreased 47.8 percent since 2008. Grinzinger said certain city offices apply for other grant funds regularly, not just from the tribe, and couldn’t point to how long it took to prepare all of the city’s applications. In the past, she said the tribe usually selects applicants for what “will do the most good in areas that will do the most good for them.” Cloutier said 2 percent is

the tribe’s opportunity to affirm its presence it has on the community. “We’ve come to realize that means bigger bridges and wider roads,” he said. Mount Pleasant and Shepherd schools also received a cut of this fall’s funding. Union Township was not included in this fall’s distribution of funds, though seven other Isbella County townships were, as well as the village of Rosebush. Union’s Supervisor John Barker said the township had applied for funds for its Meridian Road project.

Renee Walker, associate vice president of University Communications, said her office helped with the Web design and planning for the CMU-Research Composition, and that a member of her team helped identify a vendor and goals for a new Mid Michigan Development Corporation website. She said there had been several goals for the city’s site, such as heightened usability and performance. Though the city’s website is up and running, CMU’s involvement isn’t quite over. “There will be a phase two, so we will get all of the subsites addressed as well in the coming months,” Walker said at Monday’s city commission meeting. She said this next phase will mostly consist of working with Mount Pleasant’s partnering vendors to redesign subsites like the “pay your ticket now” page, which still matches the site’s old design.

At the bottom are quick links, city updates and upcoming events.

Heeke wants Saturday tradition back

Temple opens against CMU on new court

Television schedule dictates otherwise

Last year McGuirk Arena opened hosting Owls

By John Manzo Sports Editor

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

Last year Central Michigan men’s basketball opened up McGuirk Arena against Temple. The Owls spoiled the opening night of the new venue, beating the Chippewas 65-53. At 4 p.m. tomorrow CMU has the chance to return the favor as the Owls are opening their own brand new court, the Liacouras Center. “I figure if we go and get this win, we will get revenge for us,” said CMU junior guard Finis Craddock. If the Chippewas are able to seek revenge, it will have a lot to do with their ability to shut down the Temple backcourt. Last year Juan Fernandez and Ramone Moore had 34 points combined against CMU. “Those two senior guards combined make one of the best backcourts in the country,” said CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler. “We’re going to have our hands full. We need to do a much better job getting to them.” Fernandez was 4-for-7 from 3-point land. “Moore can really create his own shot off the dribble,” Zeigler said. “Fernandez can knock ‘em down. He’s a catch-and-shoot player. We’re going to get them the attention they need defensively.” Graduate student with senior athletic eligibility Micheal Eric is averaging a double-double for Temple. The 6-foot-11 center snags 11.3 rebounds per game and scores 10.5 points per game. Zeigler seems to be more confident about the match up this time around. “Our team chemistry and our confidence is at a better stage then when it was a year ago when we played them,” Zeigler said. The Chippewas were beating the Owls 32-24 at halftime. Jalin Thomas, who has graduated, had 17 first-half points, helping CMU to the big lead. Trey Zeigler, then a freshman, struggled, shooting 2-for-11 from the field. He only scored five points and recorded two rebounds. This year he’s already racked up three double-doubles. “We played well for 30 minutes,” Ernie said. “Then the wheels came off for us.” For CMU, it will be its fifth consecutive road game. “Its going to be a great test for us,” Ernie said. “Going on the road, playing a team that’s one of the top teams in the Alantic-10.” sports@cm-life.com

Junior wrestler Donnie Corby gets physical with his opponents. He lost in the opening round of the NCAA tournament last year to the eventual national champion.

Physically in control Corby inflicts pain on the wrestling mat with aggressive style By Jeff Papworth | Staff Reporter

he tenacity that Central Michigan wrestler Donnie Corby possessed has manifested into a controlled aggression he believes will push him to new heights this season.

“I like to really get physical,” Corby said. “I think the last couple years I got too physical, too aggressive. I found that you need to really slow things down and work through your moves.” He will never partake in a style that requires being on the edge of the circle, one resembling boxer Muhammad Ali clinging on the ropes. “I’m not really the kind of guy that’s bouncing around, diving at ankles, staying away from the guy,” Corby said. “I like to get in and get physical with the guy and move him around. (I am) always in your face, relentless, always after the guy, don’t give him time to breathe.” CMU head coach Tom Borrelli agrees with his evaluation. “He’s kind of a brawler,” he said. “He’s learned to be more technical. He’s a very physical wrestler.” Corby lost in the opening round to eventual national champion Kyle Dake of Cornell in his first NCAA Tournament appearance last year, finishing with a 25-16 record.

He was disappointed, but he believes he will learn from the experience. “Everyone says, “Good Job,” but

you don’t train in the offseason just to go to nationals,” Corby said. “(However) it was the best thing for me. I think you learn more from your losses than your wins.” Borrelli said he made “big strides” in his first full season starting and said if he continues the same path, he will be successful. “If he does make i m p r ov e m e n t s , the sky is the limit f o r

The Central Michigan football team had more weeknight home games than Saturday home games. Athletics Director Dave Heeke is aware of the problem, but said television networks dictate the schedule. “I’d like to play all of our games on Saturdays,” Heeke said. “I think that’s where college football beDave Heeke longs. “Unfortunately, at times, because of television, that dictates our schedule, the Mid-American Conference dictates our schedule. We have very little control over that.” Heeke said he is trying to bring back some of that Saturday culture, and suggested the MAC hold a “rivalry Saturday” game at meetings. The rivalry Saturday would be a week where each MAC team faces its rival, on Saturday, sometime in October when the MAC title race is on the line. Some of the games would be on television and it would be during a traditional time slot, allowing a better opportunity for stadiums to fill. “We could illustrate the great tradition and excitement that exists in this league, and we know that,” Heeke said. “We tend to minimize it when we schedule the way we do. “ The Chippewas played six Saturday road games in 2011. Heeke is pushing for a six-or seven-game home schedule for years to come, but financial circumstances make it hard to do, so. On Aug. 31, 2006, Boston College made the trip to CMU. The Eagles beat the Chippewas 31-24 in front of 25,418 — a near sellout. Heeke provided the university with a marquee matchup and it didn’t benefit as much as one would think. “We had ESPN here and it was a great Thursday night atmosphere and we almost beat Boston College,” Heeke said. “Everything you could think would be right, except when we closed the doors and went home that night, it was a net loss of $75,000.” Heeke said he understands the team needs home games

Volleyball team plays No. 3 Illinois in NCAA Tournament tonight By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

NCAA Tourney

Central Michigan volleyball will play in the NCAA Tournament tonight for the first time in program history. The Chippewas make the trip to Champaign, Ill., to play the No. 3 Illinois at 7 p.m. in the first round of the 64-team tournament. “We have to come out of the gate really hard and play with high emotion,” said head coach Erik Olson. “If we pass in-system, we can play with speed and if we don’t play (Illinois) with speed, we’re done.” The odds are stacked up against CMU. The Chippewas come in as the lowest-rated team in the region, playing the third-best team in the nation and traveling to Illinois home arena (Huff Hall). On paper it appears they have no chance.

Chippewas wrestle No. 3 Minnesota and Ohio this weekend By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan wrestling team is one victory away from its 2010-11 regular season win total if it defeats No. 3 Minnesota and Ohio at McGuirk Arena. The young Chippewas have already accomplished one thing last year’s team did not, which is notching a win against a top 25 opponent – three wins in fact. CMU head coach Tom Borrelli isn’t content with those victories, though. “We do have a talented group of guys,” Borrelli said. “For our

young team to have that type of success early is a good thing, but we still have a lot of improvements to make.” The Chippewas face Minnesota on tonight. It will be arguably their toughest match of the season. CMU is 0-11 all-time against the Golden Gophers. “Minnesota poses a great challenge,” Borrelli said. “That’s a very, very good measuring stick for us. Hopefully we’re going to rise to the occasion.” Junior Ben Bennett looks forward to hosting a top-five team after playing three teams that were ranked from 12th to 16th last weekend. “I’m excited. Any time you

can bring a top team into our gym, I think it’s an awesome opportunity for us,” Bennett said. “To bring fans in, hopefully a lot, and to show them top level wrestling. I don’t think you can beat that.” CMU’s first MAC opponent, Ohio will be less challenging Saturday night, but the Bobcats defeated the Chippewas for the first time since 1998 last season. A pin against Bennett triggered the victory for the Bobcats. CMU was tied with the Bobcats and ready to gain control of the duel until No. 5 Bennett went ahead 5-2 when a scrum amounted to plus six points for

Ohio. A penalty took a point away from the Chippewas. “Last year was kind of a crazy duel meet when we wrestled them and for me I had a crazy match,” Bennett said. “But I’m not really worried about what happened last year. This is a new season.” This year’s Bobcats have many unknowns coming into Saturday with CMU being their first opponent of the season. “There’s a lot of uncertainty going into the match because you don’t know what their lineup is going to be,” Borrelli said. INJURY REPORT

CMU’s third-highest ranked wrestler Donnie Corby plans on wrestling this weekend, despite injuring his foot at the Northeast duels. “It’s just knowing that the team needs me,” Corby said. “I can’t really miss out since we have some big duels coming.” Borrelli said his status was day-to-day. “We just don’t want it to turn into something that will nag him all year,” he said. “We’d like to do the right things right now so he’s better for the long haul.”

VOLLEYBALL

Team expects Fighting Illini to be ‘low error’ attackers By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Sunday night the Central Michigan volleyball team learned that it will face the No. 3 overall team in the nation Illinois to start the tournament. So who are the Fighting Illini, and what makes them good? “They’re low error as attackers, they hit from a high contact point, they’re tall and they serve tough,” said CMU head

coach Erik Olson. “They have a mindset of, ‘It’s okay to serve tough and have some errors as long as you have some reward out of that.’” With a philosophy like that you do get your aces but also have errors and that is one of Illinois’ flaws. With a tall team it’s tougher to get to the ball on defense. “They have high service errors and they’re OK on defense,” Olson said. “We can make a dent in their passing

with our serves and their middle blockers are pretty slow.” Third-year head coach Kevin Hambly has taken his team to the sweet sixteen in both his previous seasons. The Fighting Illini are led by two senior outside hitters Michelle Bartsch and Colleen Ward. Junior middle blocker Erin Johnson, freshman middle blocker Anna Dorn, junior setter Annie Luhrsen and senior defensive specialist Rachel Feldman have appeared

in all 120 sets for the team. They also have a 6-foot-6 freshman outside hitter in Liz McMahon. “Their two outside hitters (Bartsch and Ward) are pretty good and McMahon’s shot chart is difficult to defend,” Olson said. Some players might think blocking against a 6-foot-6 athletic hitter is intimidating but senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz welcomes the challenge.

“I’m not too worried about it, people have tried to hit over me before and have jumped higher, it’s whatever,” Schultz said. So how do they compare with CMU? Luhrsen is No. 29 in the nation in assists per set, just 10 spots ahead of CMU’s sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell.

Dorn is their top hitter with a .341 attack average where Schultz is No. 5 in the nation at .414. sports@cm-life.com

Women beat Wichita State for second consecutive win By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Scoreboard

The Central Michigan women’s basketball team won its second-straight game Wednesday night by defeating Wichita State 58-49. “I’m really happy to get the win tonight,” said CMU head coach Sue Guevara. “We persevered through that tough start. I think the bench really contributed tonight, that was huge.” The Chippewas came out in a zone defense but the Shockers handled it and jumped out to a 13-2 lead thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers by junior guard Jessica Diamond. Wichita State continued its hot shooting and led by 10 with 7:55 to go in the first half. “They came out and hit those first couple threes,” Guevara said. “There were people on the bench saying we need to get out of the zone. I told them we just need to be patient and eventually we were able to trap them and get some steals.”

CMU finished with 13 steals and eight blocks. In need of a spark, head coach Sue Guevara inserted junior guard Jalisa Olive into the game at the eight minute mark of the first half. Moments later her back-to-back 3-point shots, and a jumper by freshman Crystal Bradford, ignited a 16-0 run that gave the Chippewas a 32-26 lead at halftime. “We had two shooters, Diguilio and Olive in there,” said Guevara. “It opened up their zone. We really picked up the pressure on defense, obviously Jalisa’s back-to-back threes made a big difference.” The hot 3-point shooting continued in the second half for CMU. Sophomore Niki DiGuilio made her first three

When the Central Michigan women’s basketball team opened up its 2011-12 season on Nov 11., junior guard Jalisa Olive made her first start since freshman year. She played 24 minutes and had two assists against Northwestern in this season’s opener, but in her next game at Robert Morris she found herself coming off of the bench, something she has been doing since. That’s because of the emergence of freshman guards, Jessica Green and Crystal Bradford. “That is what we need right now,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “She’s a junior coming off the bench and she has really provided a lift.” For some upperclassmen,

being taken out of the starting lineup in favor of freshmen would be tough, but according to Guevara, it’s something Olive has learned to embrace. “I think that when we were in Alaska Jalisa had an epiphany,” Guevara said. “She really began to understand what her role was. She has accepted that role and now she comes in and makes a major difference.” Olive scored seven points in Central’s first win of the season against Alaska-Anchorage on Nov. 24. In Central’s 58-49 win over Wichita State Wednesday night, the 5-foot-4 guard entered the game with eight minutes to go in the first half and her team trailing 26-16. That would change a few minutes later when her back-toback threes cut the Shocker lead to just two. From there, the Chip-

pewas continued their 16-0 run, leading 32-26 at halftime. “The bench was huge for us tonight,” Guevara said after the game. “Jalisa and Skylar (Miller) came in and really gave us a spark on offense and defense. Jalisa’s back-to-back threes made a big difference.” She finished with a seasonhigh nine points. As the calendar turns to December it appears that Olive will continue to come off the bench and the Chippewas hope she can continue to contribute the way she has in the last two games. So far, the signs are good. “She has a great attitude about it,” Guevara said. “She’s playing with a ton of confidence right now and I think that’s great.” sports@cm-life.com

of the night followed by Olive’s third which extended the lead to 39-33 with 15 minutes to go. The Chippewas did not trail in the second half. A layup by WSU’s Kelsey Jacobs made it 47-41 with 7:48 to go, but freshman guard Jessica Green scored eight of her 11 points down the stretch, helping the Chippewas hold on for the victory. DiGuilio and Bradford each contributed with 11 points for CMU. Olive added nine points and freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey scored eight points and hauled down six rebounds. “We have gone 13,000 miles on this road trip,” Guevara said. “This game was huge for us, we really came together as a team, it was nice to finally close a team out and come away with a win, we’re excited to go home and not be jet lagged.” The Chippewas host Bradley at 2 p.m. Saturday at McGuirk Arena. sports@cm-life.com

Women’s basketball team faces Bradley at home By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

After traveling nearly 13,000 miles through Pennsylvania, Alaska and Kansas, the Central Michigan women’s basketball team is finally coming home. The Chippewas play the first of a two-game homestand Saturday when they host Bradley at 2 p.m. “We can hardly wait to get home,” said head coach Sue Guevara after beating Wichita State Wednesday night. “It was nice to get a couple wins at the end of the road trip. We’re looking forward to getting to Mt. Pleasant and not being jet-lagged.” The Chippewas have won their last two games after losing their first four games of the season and are beginning to develop some chemistry. “We’re starting to be around each other and bond some more,” said freshman guard Crystal Bradford. “We’re starting to learn what everybody can do and are just trusting in each other, the system and the coaches.” Bradford was one of three players in double figures against WSU and is CMU’s leading scorer at 15.8 points per game coming into Saturday’s game against Bradley. Fellow freshman Jas’Mine Bracey is second on the team, averaging 13.3 ppg and leads the team with 8.3 rebounds a game. Freshman guard Jessica

Green is third on the team in scoring with 10.8 ppg. The Braves are coming off of a 71-63 win at Butler on Wednesday night. They are led by senior center Leah Kassing, who is averaging 13.5 ppg and 7.4 rebounds per game. Junior guard Katie Yohn is second

on the team with 11 ppg. “Bradley is a good team,” Guevara said. “They have already beaten Northern Illinois and we know they can play.” The Chippewas have a 3-0 all-time record against the Braves. They look to keep it that

way at McGuirk Arena. “I’m excited to play in front of my house,” Bradford said. “I’m ready to go home, we got some people sick on the road, but we will push through it, we just got to be Chips.”

where we have very little,” Olson said. “We only have one opportunity to lose, so we want to take advantage of that.” CMU needs to play like it did in the MAC Tournament when it took out Northern Illinois, Ohio and Western Michigan, two of which are still in the NCAA Tournament — NIU and WMU. “We just need to take it like we did in the MAC Tournament, one game at a time and keep playing our volleyball,” said senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz. “We can’t worry about who is on the other side.” This isn’t the first time the Chippewas and the Fighting Illini have played each other. The two have met six previous times and CMU holds the 4-2 advantage. “I’m looking forward to playing them and playing someone outside of the MAC,” Schultz said. The MAC hasn’t prepared the Chippewas for what they’re about to face, but they did see Iowa from the Big Ten Conference on Aug. 26, losing in five sets. “We haven’t seen anything like (Illinois) in the MAC,” Olson said. “We have Northern Illinois as a low-contact team whereas Illinois is a high contact so we have been working on our defense behind our blockers.” If CMU gets the upset, it faces either Marquette or Western Kentucky on Saturday for a shot at a spot in the final 16-teams. sports@cm-life.com

Northern Illinois faces Ohio in MAC championship game By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

Northern Illinois lost to Central Michigan 48-41 at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium to start off 0-1 in the Mid-American Conference on Oct. 1. To make it back to the MAC championship game, the Huskies needed to win out. And they did just that, winning their next seven games.

“We’ve been in a seven-week playoff march for our guys to get back to Detroit,” said NIUhead coach Dave Doeren. “Our goal was to get back to Detroit and erase some bad memories (from) a year ago.” NIU will try to erase last year’s memories at 7 p.m. tonight against Ohio at Ford Field in Detroit. The Huskies lost last year to Miami of Ohio, 26-21. In that game, NIU quarter-

back Chandler Harnish threw three touchdowns, but only rushed for three yards on eight attempts. Harnish has shown off his rushing skills this year, rushing for 1,351 yards. His skills both rushing and passing have made people draw comparisons between him and former CMU quarterback Dan LeFevour. “LeFevour is an unbelievable player and a great person,” Har-

nish said. “To be compared to him is something I’m proud of and I don’t know if I completely deserve it. One thing he’s remembered for is he’s a champion. He’s won the MAC champ two times. If I can be compared to him in that aspect too, it’d be a great career.” LeFevour never was able to rush for as many yards as Harnish did this year. But Harnish never threw for

as many yards as LeFevour did in any of his four years for the Chippewas. “I think there are similarities there,” said Ohio head coach Frank Solich. “Look at their size, around 220 pounds and nice height. The thing about both those quarterback’s is they’re just playmakers filled with confidence.” The Bobcats beat CMU Nov. 10, 43-28 in Mount Pleasant.

Ohio was led by the secondbest scoring defense in the MAC, allowing 22 points per game. “It comes down to if we make the plays when we need to make them,” said Ohio linebacker Noah Keller. “As we see, NIU’s offense can light up the scoreboard like a basketball team.” sports@cm-life.com

him: conference championship, All-American, maybe even make the national finals,” he said. However, his success did not amount to a scholarship from the Chippewas right away. But after his first semester at CMU, Borrelli would not let Corby continue without one any longer, giving him a scholarship. “A lot of times you just don’t know what type a kid someone is,” Borrelli said. “How

[SPORTS] hard of a worker they are, where there skills are, how important wrestling is to them and also how important getting an education is to them. We found out pretty quick that all those things are pretty important to Donnie.” The junior’s contributions to the team came from his love of the sport. “It’s you against the other guy,” Corby said. “It’s kind of like bringing it back down to survival of the fittest. It gives you a different satisfaction. All the hard work you put in that you get the credit for and then also if you lose, you can’t blame it on somebody else.” Corby looks to improve at

the 157-pound division after struggling off the mat at 149 pounds. He participated in exhausting workouts before matches, reducing his weight last season. “Any time you’re fighting the scale all of the time, it detracts from your preparation,” Borrelli said. “You’re putting more time into keeping your weight down than you are into working out and being a better athlete as far as working on your technique and your conditioning.” Corby already sees the benefits from not having to adhere to strenuous pre-match activities.

“I have a lot more energy,” he said. “I’m practicing a lot better and I can actually drink water and go home and actually have a good meal.” His skills are not his only aspect. He is an Academic All-MidAmerican Conference honoree and serves on the studentathlete advisory committee. “You’re not just here to be an athlete, you’re not here to be a jock, you also have more to bring to the table like your academics and getting in the community and show that you’re here to support,” Corby said.

to be competitive, but the stadium doesn’t have the revenue capacity to attract big teams and pay them. Annual game revenue averages between $200,000 and $300,000, he said. When you remember the athletics department pays a team $200,00$300,000 to play in Mount Pleasant, the net gain is atbest zero, Heeke said. However the team can travel to Michigan,

sports@cm-life.com

Michigan State and other Bowl Championship Series teams, and make $800,000 to $1,000,000, he said. “That’s the financial realities of that,” Heeke said. “And yes, we’re always trying to schedule attractive games for our schedule here at home, and I’d like to get at six (home) games ... I’m not guaranteeing that because it’s very complicated to get to six, but we will have seven next year and several seasons after that we have six.” sports@cm-life.com
