EVENTS CENTER

Questions remain about CMU’s $10 million allocation By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

The $10 million allocation Central Michigan University made to the Events Center remains unclear as to intent. When reached by phone Wednesday, CMU Board of Trustees Chairman Sam Kottamasu referred to the money as “additional funding,” and “university assistance,” but what exactly to call the money and where it came from is unknown. “I wouldn’t call it a donation,” he said. “I would say that this is additional funding to help complete the project so donors can come forward.” But whether the $10 million will be paid back remains unanswered. On Tuesday, Kathy Wilbur, vice president of development and external relations, said CMU donated $10 million to the project and questioned whether the money would be paid back. “My sense is that the money is going to be paid back when funding is complete, but I can’t remember or comment on specific details at this time,” Kotta-

masu said. Although the money from the university has been accepted by the Events Center, the project remains advertised as “privately funded” on the facility website. Gail Shields, professor of economics, said the wording on the site should be changed if the university allocated this type of money toward the project. “I think that if it said that CMU was not going to donate anything or that it would be private, then the notice on the website should be changed if CMU has donated money,” she said. “The statement on the website is misleading.” Athletics Director Dave Heeke, who said in April 2008 that the university “was committed to raise all $21.5 million privately,” has declined several requests for comment. Wilbur said earlier in the week that $8 million had been raised privately, and a fundraiser is scheduled for Feb. 18 featuring sports broadcaster and CMU alumnus Dick Enberg.

The College of Medicine moved one step further toward the goal of opening in 2013, but the process continues to leave some unhappy. On Wednesday, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education granted preliminary accreditation to the Central Michigan University medical school. CMED Dean Ernest Yoder said this is the third step in a five-step process, which could finish in the fall of 2016 with full accreditation from the LCME. He said with provisional accreditation, the school will welcome its first class in the summer of 2013. “It’s consistent with the timeline and puts us in a good shape to recruit our first class of students and (faculty),” Yoder said. “It’s something to rally the faculty and staff around.” His staff will now focus on several other things, he said. One big decision being worked on is CMED’s Saginaw campus, which he expects will open in 2015. No official announcements have been made about

the building. “Right now we are engaged in program planning; there will be things to talk about in the summer,” he said. But not all are excited about the decision. During an LCME team visit in November, several faculty members, including Academic Senate Chairman Jim McDonald, met with LCME officials to express concerns about the state of CMU and CMED. “There could be a much more transparent communication process about what CMED is going to be and that would clear up a lot of the misunderstanding and the negative feelings,” McDonald said. The team of faculty members that met with LCME officials were not against CMED, but did bring up several issues they thought needed to be addressed, McDonald said. Some were concerned about a lack of transparency in budget decisions regarding CMED, which came to a head when Provost Gary Shapiro announced CMED costs would likely exceed $30 million after initially being set for $25 million over five years. James Hill, a professor of political science, was also in the meeting and said he’s glad A CMED | 2

It took months of preparation for 10 members of Andrew Spencer’s percussion studio to perform the second half of this year’s annual marimba recital. “I’ve been practicing for over a month for this piece,” said New Baltimore freshman Anna Anger, who devoted as much as two hours each day readying herself for the performance. “It’s going to go great.” The concert featured an array of genres and instruments, from marimba performances to a jazzflavored vibraphone solo to Rapid City senior Sarah Riegler’s Ghanaian piece “Bediako/Yan Yan Koli,” which she performed on the gyil, a Ghanaian marimba-like instrument known as the “grandfather” of the instruments on stage. The concert, held Sunday, showcased just one side of the multi-faceted musicians the percussion studio produces, teaching them to be fluent on a variety of instruments. The percussion

Head football coach Dan Enos knows a thing or two about recruiting. During National Signing Day on Feb. 1, Enos was already contacting high school juniors about potentially bringing their talents to Mount Pleasant upon graduation. “We’re moving on to the next class and one of the things they’re always interested in is the stability of the coaching staff,” he said. “That’s a real positive.” Enos’ one-year contract

extension was announced Wednesday by Athletic Director Dave Heeke, which will keep him on staff through the 2015 season. He is currently in his third year of the original five-year contract that would have run through 2014. “We’re excited,” Enos said. “I think it’s nice to know that our administration and everybody has confidence in us and understands everything we’ve done.” Enos’ contract has a base salary of $250,000, plus an annual media bonus of $75,000 for working

CMU gets $2.5 million in Snyder proposal Increase comes in 2013 budget plan By David Oltean Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University could get more than $2.5 million from Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder’s budget proposal for the 2013 fiscal year. The funding, which will amount to $36.2 million, will allocate a 3-percent

uate degrees, the amount of undergraduate degrees in critical skills areas and the number of students to receive federal Pell Grants. In addition to the increase in state university spending, an additional $8.5 million is being devoted to Michigan community colleges in 2013 and more than $306 million is being added to the K-12 school system. Kathy Wilbur, vice president for development and external relations, said she views the additional fund-

increase to state university funding and would be based on performance. Snyder emphasized education as one of the state’s budgeting priorities as funds, along with health and human services spending, which accounted for more than 75 percent of the budget. The amounts allocated to the different state universities would be based on compliance with tuition restraint provided tuition increases are 4 percent or lower, growth of undergrad-

Wilbur said the university received most of the $2.5 million because of growth in undergraduate degrees, though the $70.6 million is still far below the $90 million CMU received in previous years. “We’re obviously pleased, but I do think it’s important in the language not to call it an increase,” Wilbur said. “This is just the beginning of the restoration of all the

The extension comes with no increase in base salary or buyout provisions. “I commend Dan on his patience and courage over the past two seasons and thank our many fans who have stood behind this program as we have done the things necessary to rebuild and maintain success,” Heeke said. The Chippewas recorded back-to-back 3-9 seasons during Enos’ first two years as coach.

CMED got preliminary accreditation. “I’m happy that the investment has not been lost,” he said. Hill said he was excited for the college when it was announced but wanted to talk to the LCME more about his frustration with the process of making a medical school. He said the lack of transparency and shared governance were issues he thought the LCME team needed to know about and was glad that they sat down to talk. “I’m upset that this type of process still resulted in a school,” he said. McDonald said the team also talked to LCME officials about the lack of transparency with

initial documents about CMED and campus climate. “(We’re) hoping for transparency and good communication,” McDonald said. “... I think we’re still not getting that.” The news release said the LCME looked for five items while at CMU: governance and administration, curriculum, medical students, faculty and resources. “We are very pleased that the LCME has granted preliminary accreditation to our medical school,” said University President George Ross in the release. “This is a significant milestone as we strive to create an innovative and highly successful program to help fill imminent needs for physicians and medical education opportunities in our state.” university@cm-life.com

cuts we have received in the past few years now. There was easily $30 million that was cut from the higher education budgets.” Though the increase in higher education funding won’t offset the previous budget’s 15-percent reduction, Snyder said the state’s economic stability was the priority in previous budgets. “This proposed 2013 budget strategically invests in priorities such as education, our infrastructure, public safety, health and human services environment, and information technology while setting aside rainy day

reserves and addressing legacy costs,” Snyder wrote in the executive budget. “Our focus is shifting from major policy reforms to one that is centered on good government and building for our future.” CMU’s $2.5 million puts the university slightly above the middle of the pack for increased budget allocations and will receive the fifthlargest monetary increase. Grand Valley State University received the most additional funding, a 7.6-percent increase that amounted to nearly $4 million, and Wayne State University received the lowest percentage increase resulting in more than $1.6 million. university@cm-life.com

“like this” — she hit a drum with the mallet — “like this” — she used the mallet’s handle — “like this” — she played with her hand — “like this,” and so on. Riegler said she has seen an automobile brake drum used for percussion. “That’s a pretty standard instrument for us,” she said, “even though it sounds bizarre.” Romulus senior Kevin Stobbe is a member of the percussion studio and a veteran of the annual marimba recital. “Playing was nerve-wracking,” Stobbe said of his time preparing for performance, but added that when it comes to watching other students’ progress through the studio, he’s pleased to watch them develop. “It’s so cool to see the growth of people.” INSTRUMENT FLUENCY Midland junior Kevin Keith said it’s more valuable to be fluent in many musical situations than to specialize on every instrument. But more often than not, percussionists specialize

in one niche of their field. “You don’t have to be a master of everything,” Spencer said. Students often take a shine to an instrument, and “we try to water that plant as much as we can,” he said. Although the percussion studio at Central Michigan University is made up of about 60 to 70 percent music education majors, they’re headed into all kinds of different career fields within the industry. After they have graduated, alumni of Spencer’s percussion studio turn up in a lot of places. Spencer said he has students who have attended graduate school at the University of Michigan, the New England Conservatory and the University of Texas at Austin. Some of them have jumped straight into the workforce, though, notably, one student is now based in Los Angeles, touring with a Persian rock band. Keith said he is planning on a professional performance career, possibly in conducting, and it’s something he will likely pursue with a graduate degree in music performance. Spencer said he wants to give his students a wide variety

of skills they can use in their playing and can take out into the real world. “If the Midland symphony calls them, can they play the timpani part for Beethoven? If the local Elks club calls, can they kick around a big band on drum set?” he said. Commenting not only on the diversity of the performances, but of the performers themselves, Spencer said Sunday’s concert was a lot like recitals often seen outside the school of music — the kind that have all ages of students. This concert provided a look at CMU percussion students in multiple stages of their musical development, with students from the freshman to graduate level all bringing something different to the stage. On the other end of the experience spectrum is David Abaham, a first year graduate student from Oregon, who said he is enthusiastic about the studio. “(Spencer is) one of the greatest teachers in the country,” Abraham said. “(It’s) tough, but one of the coolest majors ... one of the most satisfying things you can do.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Five against one Handful attend march against unicameral SGA proposal By Ryan Fitzmaurice | Staff Reporter

protest held on campus Thursday against the Student Government Association’s unicameral Proposal 1 drew only five participants. Both SGA and Students Against Proposal 1, a group started by Students For Service Learning, have been trying to get student response to the proposed unicameral system, and with a finalized version of the proposal due on Feb. 27, both are facing challenges in doing so, including challenges from each other.

The proposal, introduced to the house three weeks ago, would currently disband the house, and have elected senators handle governmental issues. The proposal has been criticized by some members of registered stu-

dent organizations for not giving students enough representation. Five students opposed to Proposal 1 marched across campus carrying signs and passing out pamphlets and buttons. At the Bovee Uni-

versity Center, the protesters stopped to perform a group yell calling for increased student representation in the SGA. The march was the first of several planned protests by Students Against Proposal 1. Protestor Alysha McClain, a Waterford senior, said despite the turnout the marchers were pleased with what they achieved. “I think that even though there were only a small amount of people at this protest, we still got the message across.” McClain said. “Anytime you are able to get your voice heard, you have been successful.” SGA President and Shelby Township senior Vincent Cavataio said on Wednesday he did not feel the protest march was needed or an ac-

ceptable response to the unicameral proposal. “I’ve asked for a response — this is a form of response — however, it’s the wrong response. There is nothing constructive about this march,” Cavataio said. “What Kevin Richmond doesn’t understand is that there is nothing finalized about this. This is nothing more than a starting point.” After the march, Romeo senior Kevin Richmond, president of SSL and leader of the march, said he disagrees with Cavataio about the value of the march. He said the only purpose of the march was to raise interest in the proposal and that his group has full intentions to draft a new bill. A SGA | 6

‘American Pie’ actor coming Feb. 20 By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Actor and musician Thomas Ian Nicholas will come to campus on Feb. 20 to promote his latest movie in the “American Pie” series, American Reunion.” Program Board Coordinator of Student Activities Damon Brown said Nicholas, who plays Kevin Myers in the “American Pie” films, offered to come to Central Michigan University for free as a stop on his promotional tour. He will be performing with his band at noon in the Bovee University Center’s student lounge next to Starbucks. “We are expecting a great

turnout for the show,” Brown said. “We know there are quite a few students that have watched the ‘American Pie’ movies, and this is a great opportunity to meet one of the stars of the show.” Nicholas said one of his band’s songs is on the ‘American Reunion’ soundtrack. Since 2008, Nicholas said he has played about 300 shows with his band and acts in movies between touring. He said the band is making a stop at CMU because Michigan is the setting and birthplace of the films. “Adam Herz, who wrote the first three American Pie movies, is from Grand Rapids,” Nicholas said. The new film unites the

original cast at their high school reunion and shows where life has taken them over the last 10 years. “It’s one of those things where we’re a bit older now and you would think that we might be more mature, but we’re really not,” Nicholas said. “Just like the film is up to its same old antics, I think we were even more immature on set than we were back when I was 18.” At the performance, students can enter the American Reunion Hollywood Premiere Contest. Nicholas said one student will win two tickets to the premiere in Hollywood on April 6. The winner will receive two plane tickets, a two-night

hotel stay, transportation and a $200 Visa gift card. Program Board Vice President Miranda Endres, a New Baltimore senior, said Program Board members think he will be a hit on campus. “We know the ‘American Pie’ movies are pretty popular and there are a lot of them that target college students,” she said. “And they’re giving away free stuff; what college student doesn’t like that?” Following the performance will be a meet-andgreet with the star, said Concert Chairman Jordan Benghiat.

Free or cheap online college courses are growing in popularity across the country, raising questions of the longevity of traditional universities. An article published Jan. 21 by the Washington Post highlighted four programs in particular that are offering these money-saving courses. Saylor.org is a nonprofit organization in Washington offering 200 free online courses. Peer-toPeer University also offers free courses and is backed by Hewlett Foundation and Mozilla. “(These organizations) represent a challenge to the traditional brick and mortar university,” said Orlando Perez, a professor and chairman of the political science department. University of the People is a nonprofit organization located in Pasadena, Calif., offering courses for an application fee of $10 to $50, depending on the student’s home nation. The most expensive of the four choices is StraighterLine. This Baltimore, for-profit company offers more than 30 online courses to its students for a $99 monthly charge. While some of the content used by these programs is original, they have also borrowed substance from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Uni-

versity of California-Berkeley, Tufts University and the University of Michigan. Grandville junior Taylor McCarrick said she would feel apprehensive about a program she didn’t pay for. “I would feel like they were a scam if I weren’t paying for them, or possibly a waste of time since they’re not from CMU and may not equate to anything at the university level,” she said. McCarrick said she would be more inclined to take course from these programs in addition to university courses, with the understanding that the university would accept the credits. While some universities have accepted credits from these organizations, others have declined to do so, questioning the quality of programs, the report stated. Entrepreneurs in charge of the strictly-online programs are attempting to create credentials for graduates to show employers, rather than needing a university degree. Saylor.org, for example, uses an electronic portfolio to take the place of a college transcript. Both Saylor.org and P2PU are working on a system of badges that would prove knowledge level and experience for potential employers. How will graduates fair getting jobs?

OIT seeking input concerning LISTERV By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

The Office of Institutional Technology released its new LISTSERV Jan. 30 with the intent of gaining student opinion on technology at Central Michigan University. CMU students received an email with a link to subscribe to the LISTSERV, and more than 100 students have since Thursday. “We like to offer this opportunity for students to shape the future of CMU technology in the way that they want to see it,” said OIT Technical Writer Kole Taylor. Some of the topics subscribers are asked about the PrintQ, introduced in June 2010, and virtual lab projects, introduced this year. “Understanding technological innovations and advancements can possibly give a person a leg up on future trends and keep them that much more competent with the pace of advancement as well,” said Coldwater sophomore Jordan Wright. In addition to giving feedback on university-wide programs, Taylor said subscribers would also be asked to test technological advancements. “If some of the students are

willing, we’ll have the option for them to test new things and provide feedback if they choose,” he said. “Or they can subscribe just to be in the loop as far as what’s in the pipeline for the university.” As an incentive to subscribe to LISTSERV, the OIT raffled off an iPad to one student who joined the list. “We’re being a little more mum on future incentives, but we’re looking for potential benefits in various ways,” Taylor said. “If (students) provide input as we ask for it, we might randomly have incentives for them in return.” In past years, CMU used a student technology advisory committee to gain feedback on projects, though Taylor said it has become an outdated process. “We found that students are incredibly busy with all their schoolwork, extracurricular activities and work these days, and that it wasn’t all that sustainable,” he said. The original email from Assistant Director of Student Life Tom Idema said the subscribers would only be contacted by email “a few times each semester.” university@cm-life.com

Listening Ear one of several crisis hotlines available in Isabella County By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

The summer of 1969 meant taking calls in her home at the conception of Listening Ear for Kathy Tarrant. Tarrant, now crisis center director of Listening Ear, founded the private organization with two other Central Michigan University students with a $200 budget and a handful of volunteers. With a budget of approximately $12 million and more than 400 volunteers, Listening Ear now serves 17 counties in mid Michigan and functions as one of the hotlines available to service Isabella County. “We are the hub of human service agencies in the area,” Tarrant said.

More than five hotlines are available in Isabella County to residents in need. These needs can range from sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence or to simply vent about an annoying roommate. Tarrant spent 26 years as Juvenile Court Officer/ Court Referee and Magistrate before retiring in 2002. “I had been on the Board of directors of Listening Ear for 15 years and was recruited to my current position as Director of the Crisis Center,” Tarrant said. Tarrant said she hopes Listening Ear will continue to provide varied services to the community and the surrounding area. “We’re always here 24

hours a day,” Tarrant said. “We do a lot of listening.” She said some afterbusiness-hours calls in the area are rerouted to Listening Ear. The Listening Ear crisis hotline can be found at 772-2198. This availability includes “211,” Tarrant said, a service that when a crisis occurs can put people in touch with the kind of help they need. She said 211 includes disasters such as tornados and floods. “We see 211 as a way to access those services,” Tarrant said. One of the other hotlines in Isabella County, Women’s Aid Services, operates as a women’s shelter that is always open. Executive Director of

WAS, John R. Haycook, has been involved with social services for 32 years. “Our crisis lines are for sexual assault and domestic violence,” Haycook said. He said residents of Isabella County can call the WAS hotline for social services needs. Haycook said WAS does not force callers to use a specific service, but are there to help individuals in a time of crisis. WAS hotlines are always open and available to help those in need at 772-9168. “There is no place in society for these violent acts, so it’s not difficult to get behind this cause,” Haycook said. Other hotlines in the area include: transportation at 772-9441, emer-

EDITORIAL | Student experience no longer central to athletics

An empty house W

the overnight guest policy in residence halls, the re-entry ban reveals a slight, gradual regression toward administrative parenting absent from campus for decades. “We try to be careful with students going in and out because normally when they do that they come back in a condition we don’t want them in,” Heeke said in a previous article. Those do not sound like the words of someone who values student participation in athletics. A few jerks getting drunk and making fools of themselves at sporting events does not justify seriously eroding the privileges of all students. Alumni and visiting fans are also known to imbibe, usually responsibly — where is the evidence suggesting students are the worst offenders? While it’s likely Kelly/Shorts Stadium will be full of fans next season, with Michigan State, Navy and Western Michigan all on the

hat has happened to the championship culture of Central Michigan University athletics?

Without a winning team on the field or a tailgate to enjoy beforehand, students have had little incentive to attend home football games. With this week’s news that fans will no longer be allowed to re-enter games after leaving, one thing is becoming quite clear: the athletics department doesn’t care enough about the students who fund it. Athletics Director Dave Heeke said attendees next year will have to scan their ID cards or tickets to get into games and will not be permitted to re-enter if they need to exit the area. While the new policy allows CMU to more

accurately count students in the attendance figure, a number the department inflated last season, are we expected to believe there is no scanning program that can recognize a person entered twice and count them once? This policy seems more like another control mechanism being put in place, passed through under the farcical pretense that it is protecting students. This move is another indication that our administration no longer views students as responsible, independent adults. Taken together with the strict tailgating policy and revision to

home schedule, this sends an awful message to current and future students. It will likely hurt already dwindling attendance when there are not big-name programs in town. It’s safe to say students foot a stiff bill each year for athletics, with its current account composing $21.3 million of CMU’s budget. If constant restrictions and changes are going to be made within the system, student participation should be considered. Whether the football team is winning or losing, what matters most is a body of students supporting and cheering behind them. It doesn’t matter if our athletes have a championship mentality if there are no students to revel in their victories. Between the state of tailgate and elimination of re-entry, the Chippewas will soon find themselves playing in an empty stadium.

Celebrating culture As we all know, February marks Black History Month. My biggest pet peeve with this month is not the celebration of the African American culture, but rather how people seem to respond to the existence of Black History Month. I hate when I hear people complain, “Why isn’t there a white history month?” Complaints about Black History Month and Martin Luther King Jr. day always crawl under my skin, and this has nothing to do with me being African American, it is simply my annoyance with ignorance. In one of my classes I overheard a girl who did not remember the overall purpose of the March on Washington For Jobs and Freedom; you know, the March where Martin Luther King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. I was extremely upset with this girl, but then it hit me, perhaps her education of African American history differed from mine. In my elementary and middle school years, Black History Month was this huge extravaganza. Programs in the auditorium were held, the curriculum changed solely to spotlight African American history, and my schools were decorated with posters and facts about African Americans who made huge contributions to American history. Perhaps this girl did not receive the same kind of knowledge on African American studies. To those who feel slighted by African Americans having a month dedicated to them, it is because African American studies is not engraved in every schools curriculum. Perhaps if African Americans were included in the overall scheme of American studies, then maybe such a month would not be necessary. African Americans are not the only cultures slighted in the study of American culture. Hispanic Heritage Month occurs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 every year, and November is reserved for Native American Heritage Month. None of these months should even exist. All cultures should be included in the overall curriculum of American studies so separate months will not be necessary for certain ethnic cultures. I did not know much about Native American history and culture until I got to college and took a course examining the culture. Why didn’t I receive this kind of knowledge earlier on in my education? The girl in my class who did not remember the purpose of the March on Washington may have grown up in an area with a different dominate culture. I would hate to sound like someone who obsesses over race and plays victim for what has happened in the past. I just think our history lessons are not all black and white. We need all points of views included so ignorance can become history itself. For those who complain about Black History Month, perhaps you should complain about the incomplete American history curriculums in American schools that fostered such a month in the first place.

[YOUR VOICE] Comments in response to “Trey Zeigler gets injured as Chippewas drop eighth-straight game” Spectator, Thursday I’d rather Zeigler gets hurt chasing a ball into a bench than watch him put up 15-20 a game with an absolute lack of effort and passion. Dude doesn’t realize that he has the ability to be a really, really good player, but squanders it away being lackadaisical on the court. Hurricanebilly, Thursday Well said, Spectator! You have to have a big ego to wear #0 or #1 and this dude is not worthy. He gets all of his points in “garbage time” and he is NOT clutch. Way too much hype for this #0. I can’t believe Duke and MSU had any interest in this prima donna. He would be riding the pine for any real basketball program. We would be better off if both the Z’s leave Mt. P.

the students and alum. Even when the teams were at their worst you had a good time and you met some new people. CE, Wednesday Anything else you (AD’s office) can do to choke off the lifeblood of CMU’s athletics?! Jordan, 09, Wednesday this is funny. i remember being encouraged by student leadership to re-enter the football game 2 or 3 times so cmu could maintain d1 status. I can’t wait to watch CMU play saginaw valley, lake state and ferris. Jon, Thursday Students only show up for the first half anyhow! So this won’t make any difference. The key is to get the students to stay and be rowdy and tantalizing in a clean way, otherwise Football games are just another sports venue. Serentine, Thursday So pretty much any recent alumni will probably now not attend because their IDs are not valid and they won’t want to pay the ticket price, thus driving attendance down even more. <applause> </applause> Comments in response to “Enos’ contract extended through 2015 season” Florenceschneider, Wednesday Enos buyout drops from $800,000 after two years, to $400,000 after three years. Heeke added another year to his contract to help him recruit. However, it is likely CMU will have another losing season with

a divided team and dwindling fan base. The extra year means little. Enos is, in effect “Dead Dan Walking.” Without the spread, CMU football is dead. CE, Wednesday Enos, AND Heeke, should be giving money BACK TO CMU! Administrative positions where the holder does not possess a CMU degree should be replaced with those that do! Heek, is now betting his future as well. 6+ wins and a bowl will only save these two (as well as Georgie Porgie Ross)! Keep the pressure on CMLife! Andrew, Wednesday Haha I sincerely hope this is a recruiting ploy. I mean no two star recruit will pass up a scholarship, but does anyone actually think he’s going to snag any 4 star players? Come on. If he stays on through 2015, at least I know I won’t have to purchase any Western or Homecoming tickets until 2016. Vince88, Wednesday I must disagree with you. We have some very talented players that are impacted by poor coaching as proven by bad plays and no knowlege on how to manage the clock. Disgruntled Alum, Wednesday Are you kidding me? Back-toback 3-9 seasons deserves a contract extension? Enos is a flop, and so is Heeke, who is up to his eyeballs in the unfolding football attendance scandal. Both should be fired immediately for trashing a once-great football program.

Paying for pills

Right now many religious leaders and organizations are up in arms about the possibility of being forced to offer insurance plans covering birth control for their employees. But simply put, belief and faith are not valid reasons to deny someone vital health care. My mom works for a Catholic hospital. My family is not Catholic. Should our health care be determined by someone else’s beliefs? When I was 18 years old I mustered up the courage to ask my mom if I could go on the pill. My heart raced as I waited to hear her response, hoping to avoid judgment and avoid crushing her. But what came next almost broke my heart. Tears welled up in her eyes and for a second I wanted to take back my request, but then she spoke. She told me she couldn’t afford the extra expense and her Catholic employers would not pay a penny for it. My mother had been working at a hospital for 25 years. I knew how wonderful our insurance was. I knew our co-pays were low and almost everything was covered. I just assumed the pill was no different. But the pill was the exception, the thing they would not touch. This was shocking and disturbing to me. What right did they have? My mother wanted to provide something for me, something that her insurance should and could have covered, but they chose not to. I don’t think employers should have that choice. Employees should have the choice of what they want to spend their health care coverage on. In the U.S. today birth control is a huge part of women’s health care. To deny coverage based on religious conscious is not only wrong, but ridiculous. It is worth noting that birth control is not the satanic pill reserved only for the jezebels and floozies of the country that some ultra-conservatives make it out to be. The pill is not just for preventing unwanted children. A study last year based on U.S government data from the National Survey of Family Growth found that of the women who use birth control, 86 percent use it for pregnancy prevention, but other reasons were also given. The pill is used to reduce cramps or menstrual pain in 31 percent of its users. Another common alternative reason for taking the pill was for the treatment of acne, which 14 percent listed. Opponents to covering the pill may have their minds blown even more when they hear that the study found 762,000 women who have never had sex use the pill, with 99 percent doing so for noncontraceptive reasons. Birth control is important for women. I can almost guarantee that more women in the U.S. use it or have used it compared to a minority that doesn’t or hasn’t. It’s not going away, so pay up and support women’s health. Just swallow that pill and get over it.

CITY COMMISSION

COMMUNITY CHURCH

Proposed anti-discrimination law will be subject of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk

College outreach focuses on growth through small groups

By Jackie Smith Staff Reporter

The local movement urging Mount Pleasant to adopt an anti-discrimination ordinance is making headway this month, as the subject is up for discussion at a work session at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s City Commission meeting. In November, Mount Pleasant residents filled the meeting room at City Hall, 320 W. Broadway St., to support establishing an all-inclusive law intended to prevent discriminatory acts against other residents. Currently, Mount Pleasant is the only city in the state that is home to a large public university and does not already have such a law. Norma Bailey, spokeswoman for the movement, had asked commissioners to review an ordinance for the city that has already been drafted. She said members of the movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steering committee will be in attendance on Monday, should they be needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have understood that what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned about is cost â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the amount of work itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cost the city and the amount of money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as any, what they consider, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;unintended consequences,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make sure we have somebody there who is legally sound and knowledgeable to answer any questions that they might have.â&#x20AC;? City Manager Kathie Grinzinger said the primary focus

of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work session is the deliberate with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, who will â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide some informationâ&#x20AC;? about the drafted ordinance given to commissioners last year. At this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second City Commission meeting, on Feb. 27, Bailey and others involved will formally present on the subject. Before anything is approved, Grinzinger said commissioners may choose to amend language in the ordinance and will hold a public hearing on the matter. Once the ordinance is approved, there is a 30-day waiting period, during which members of the community may file a referendum. Otherwise, Grinzinger said the law would go into effect after the 30 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going exactly as it should, where people bring an idea to the commission and the commission begins its discussion,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect it will follow the process through the charter.â&#x20AC;? DOWN THE ROAD Bailey said the Feb. 27 meeting will do a number of things, but especially demonstrate the broad range of support the ordinance has gained. That has been a primary focus since November, she said. She said support includes more than 30 businesses that have agreed to sign on, which is up from the original 10 businesses that signed a letter of support given to the com-

missioners last year. She said they have also created a list of people â&#x20AC;&#x153;who have influenceâ&#x20AC;? in the community, whether it be through politics or business, to additionally seek support. Since their first appearance at a commisison meeting, the proposed ordinance has been made available to the public online. Bailey said people involved have begun to collect signatures in support of its passing via postcards and an Internet petition. As of Wednesday afternoon, she said more than 400 signatures had been collected with the online petition and 50 to 60 postcards had been collected. Last year, commissioners had acknowledged the potential need for an anti-discrimination ordinance. Commissioner Sharon Tilmann said one would have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be living in a caveâ&#x20AC;? not to have heard of an instance of discrimination in Mount Pleasant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I do think (is) the commission will be very open-minded â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? she told Central Michigan Life Nov. 29. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works very diligently to do the homework and listen to what the citizens want.â&#x20AC;? In general, Bailey said the ordinance would be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;welcoming statementâ&#x20AC;? to people in and outside the community; that it shows good business and involves a diverse body of residents.

With cafĂŠ-style tables, a coffee bar and colorful lighting, the loft of Mount Pleasant Community Church becomes populated every Tuesday night with college students. They come together for UNite, a program of MPCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ULife outreach, and meet in

the church for worship and small-group Bible study at 8 p.m. Tuesdays. Shepherd resident and small-group leader MacKenzie Sheahan said the ULife program started about four years ago when she and her husband, Director of College Ministry Mitch Sheahan, began hosting a Bible study at their house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eventually we grew enough

to start having weekly UNite meetings here in the church,â&#x20AC;? MacKenzie said. The attendance at each weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UNite is now around 60 students, coming from both Central Michigan University and Mid Michigan Community College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small groups are the bread and butter of our program,â&#x20AC;? Mitch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When students come together to share what Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing in their lives, big growth happens.â&#x20AC;? The small groups usually base their theme around the sermon in church on the previous Sunday and tailor group questions based on each groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, Mitch said. Muskegon freshman Felicia McCrary, who sings in ULifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s praise band, said she chose the church and its programs after researching area churches online last semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church is a big part of my life and it was important for me to make the right decision,â&#x20AC;? McCrary said. metro@cm-life.com

Business Tax eliminated, shift to flat tax causing mixed emotions By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Gov. Rick Snyder’s official budget proposal to eliminate the Michigan Business Tax and replace it with a flat 6 percent corporate income tax has drawn a mixed reaction. President and CEO of Middle Michigan Development Corporation Brain Anderson said the elimination of the MBT is both negative and positive, depending on who it’s affecting. The transition would equal a $1.8 billion tax cut, affecting around 95,000 companies that

StraighterLine has enrolled 4,000 students over two years, while University of the People has more than 1,000 registered students and P2PU has about 25,000 people who have created accounts, the report stated. “While these courses tend to reduce the cost of attending college, and provide a service to students who would otherwise not be able to get a university education, there are significant questions regarding the quality of these courses,” Perez said, adding not all students have the self-motivation it would take to succeed in online

pay taxes through their personal income tax return. These small businesses will no longer have to pay business taxes. The new plan is thought to energize the economy and create jobs, according to a report from michigan.gov. “For Class-C businesses, shifting to a flat tax is a tax increase in a lot of situations,” Anderson said. “There’s a little bit of negative feedback.” But on the other side, a flat tax makes it easier for credit situations, he said, and it may be a higher cost, but it’s more simplistic. For Class-S businesses,

things are more cut and dry for a flat tax. The small businesses that fall under the class will have a tax break, he said. “It is a simple, straight-forward tax,” he said. “It’s going to help people because they will have much more time to operate, instead of trying to figure out their taxes.” Even though it’s much more simplistic in the long-run, people always have a hard time adjusting to change, he said. “People need to realize change could be a good thing. If anything, it may be a shortterm pain of learning the new system,” he said. “We need to

courses, and there are other advantages to the physical classroom. “The value of a traditional university, however, is not just the interaction with professors through face-to-face classes, but the interaction among students and the extracurricular activities and opportunities,” he said. With the addition of this money-saving resource, Perez said he worries a two-tier system would be created with employers favoring university graduates over graduates of these organizations. Dan Eversole, senior vice president of human resources at Isabella Bank, said the bank hires for some positions that require a bachelor’s degree and others that do not, though the degree gives a

graduate the upper hand. “That being said, if I see someone who has graduated from college with a degree, I don’t give them a notch up whether it’s online or from a physical classroom,” he said. Eversole worked at CMU for 15 years in the admissions office and taught a human resources course at Northwood University. “I don’t look at online versus traditional any differently,” Eversole said. “I’m not going to question whether courses were free, half price or full tuition price — how would I even know how much someone paid?” university@cm-life.com

embrace change.” Anderson said the new flat tax puts Michigan in the lowest tax bracket sales in America. When companies are deciding where to locate, there is a lower cost of doing business in the state. “From what I’m hearing, people are embracing the new tax system and are actually looking forward to it,” he said. Some businesses are unaware of the change and whether it applies specifically to them. “There’s a lot of media around it,” he said. “They will know once they start doing taxes.”

“We’ve got to start somewhere,” Richmond said “The SGA has kept this proposal under wraps, and we feel that it is our job to get students’ attention about the issue.” Richmond said the protest was a crucial first step. “We’re working to write up a new bill,” said Richmond, who is running for SGA president next year. “The new bill would be a compromise between the current proposal and the students. And wherever the ideas for this new bill come from, they will be for the

Development Corporation Thomas Raymond, owner of Tom’s Professional Accounting Services, 504 N.

Previously, the MBT only

Cavataio said he is open to compromise with students who oppose the proposal, but only when they bring a constructive opinion to the table. “What lies in the proposal is totally up to the students; all of it can be changed if they want it to be, and we need for students to offer their opinions and concerns about the proposal, not to march,” he said. “Outside of this pro-

test, I have heard very little real concern. I think that students have forgotten how to be constructive, how to criticize something positively and how to make real changes.” Cavataio said he does not believe his language toward the students against the bill has been too aggressive. “I have no problem being blunt. I’ve been part of the SGA for three years, and when someone comes in who doesn’t know how the system works, and negligently starts hindering progress toward a solution, I’m going to be blunt,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

l o s ing s tr eak : 8 Men’s basketball skid continues at home against Buffalo By John Manzo | Senior Reporter Trey Zeigler went flying into the Buffalo bench with 5:39 remaining during the first half Wednesday at McGuirk Arena. Zeigler, who is Central Michigan men’s basketball team’s leading scorer, attempted to return, but couldn’t. Head coach Ernie Zeigler said it was a lower-back injury and Trey will be re-evaluated. Despite the injury, CMU rallied without the sophomore guard, but couldn’t overcome the physical play from Buffalo. It lost 66-62, dropping its eighth-straight game. “It’s frustrating, because we still can’t pull out a win,” said junior guard Finnis Craddock. “It’s tough, but in the locker room, we keep telling each other that we need to stay together and we have to keep fighting to dig out of this.” The main contributor in Trey’s absence was forward Olivier Mbaigoto. The junior scored a teamhigh 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting and led a comeback that fall short. The Chippewas went on a 10-0 run late in second half, cutting an 11-point UB lead down to one. But the game was sealed when Buffalo forward Mitchell Watt swatted away the Chippewas chances of winning. Austin McBroom stole the ball from Jarod Oldham, but was rejected by Watt with 1:18 remaining in a four-point game. McBroom, who scored 11 points, appeared to have an uncontested layup, but couldn’t cut it to a one-possession game after Watt sent the ball back, CMU never got closer from that point on. “We’re going to remain confident in what we’re doing,” Ernie said after the loss. The frontcourt tandem of Javon McCrea and Watt were a main reason why CMU still carry the losing streak. McCrea dropped a teamhigh 16 points and Watt scored

15. McCrea also hauled 10 rebounds and Watt had seven. Their ability to rebound the ball helped lead a 48-27 outburst on the glass for the Bulls. “They’re just a one-two punch,” Ernie said. “Both of them can score. Both of them made plays down the stretch that sealed the game for them.” CMU guard Austin Keel kept the team in it down the stretch, knocking down 3-of-5 3-point attempts, but the struggles on the glass were too much to overcome. Ernie said the lack of ‘quality’ depth in the front court was too much to withstand losing Trey. Buffalo’s struggles at the freethrow line (10-for-23), kept the Chippewas around and they took advantage. CMU went to the line 20 times in the second half, making 17, but still couldn’t muster up a victory. The Chippewas have their last chance to get a win against a Mid-American Conference East opponent at 3:30 p.m. Saturday

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team’s leading scorer only played 15 minutes Wednesday night against Buffalo at McGuirk Arena. Sophomore Trey Zeigler injured his lower back trying to save the ball from going out-of-bounds at the 5:39 minute mark in the first half. He was slow to get up after barreling through Buffalo’s bench and into the stands. “He was playing with great passion and effort,” head coach Ernie Zeigler said.

“It’s a play that we definitely want him and everyone on our team to attempt to try and make from a hustle standpoint.” Trey came back briefly, but was quickly pulled to be reevaluated. “When it first happened, we tried to put him back out there to see if he could move — and then he couldn’t there at the end of the first-half,” Ernie said. He received more treatment at halftime and tried to make a comeback in the second half. He played 30 more seconds before exiting the game.

Trey Zeigler’s injury condition unknown By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

The competition will not get any easier for the Central Michigan wrestling team this weekend when it travels to Ithaca, New York. CMU (13-6, 4-1 Mid-American Conference) is in a six-team bracket with Cornell, Illinois, Oklahoma, Purdue and American, four of which are ranked in the top 25 nationally according to InterMat. The Chippewas will face Purdue in the first round Sunday at the NWCA/Cliff Kleen National Duals. They are the No. 4 seed and Purdue is the No. 5 seed. “I know we should be able to be very competitive,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “We want to be successful. We would like to go have some success individually and as a team.” If the Chippewas win their first match, they will take on the No. 1 seed Cornell in the semifinals. The Purdue match will be at 10 a.m. Sunday. If CMU beats Purdue, the Cornell semi-finals will start at noon. “If we make the semifinals, we should have a real good challenge,” Borrelli said. Junior Donnie Corby said he expects it to be quality competition throughout the Mat Mayhem Regional. “I’m really excited to go there because I know it will be tough competition,” Corby said. “If we wrestle Cornell, they have a two-time national champion in my weight class (157-pounds). I’m pretty excited to wrestle him because it’s going to show me where I’m at.”

Junior Kyle Dake of Cornell is currently ranked No.1 nationally at 157-pounds. Corby has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success the past four weeks, going 6-1 in his last seven dual meets. “I’ve been working harder in practices and doing the little things that really make the match,” Corby said. The Boilmakers are 8-9 overall and are coming off a 19-16 win at Indiana last Sunday. They have three wrestlers ranked in the top 20 nationally. Junior Ivan Lopouchanksi is 12-3 on the season and is ranked eleventh at 133-pounds. No. 9 Cashe’ Quiroga is 14-4 at 149-pounds and No.11 Braden Atwood is 19-8 at 184-pounds. This is the first time the National Duals will feature a regional format. The four winners of each region will move on to compete for the National Championship on Feb. 19. Even if CMU loses its first match, it is still guaranteed another match. Borrelli likes the new format. “I think it’s a real good change for college wrestling,” he said. He said he also thinks it will be great preparation for the NCAA Tournament. “Everybody says that dual meets don’t mean anything when it comes to the national tournament, but they do,” Borrelli said. “Usually the best dual meet teams also win the NCAA tournament. If you have strong individuals whether it’s a dual meet or a tournament, those guys are going to do well.”

“We tried, but he just couldn’t move,” Ernie said. “Him moving is a huge part of his game, particularly on the offensive end.” The extent of his injury is not yet known. Trey finished with four points, three assists and shot 2-3 from the field. The Chippewas trailed 2321 at the time of his injury, but managed to pull within 1 point with 3:45 remaining in the second-half. “It was just about the next guy up,” Ernie said. “We got down by 11 and we just talked about how everyone’s got to tap into a greater power

within yourself and we had numerous guys do that.” He was pleased with how the team responded after Trey’s injury, but believes Buffalo’s size advantage played a vital role in the outcome of the game. “For as hard as we fought, our lack of depth up front just really hurt us in not being able to have the bodies or get the production we needed from a defensive rebounding standpoint, particularly after we lost our leading rebounder (Trey),” Ernie said. sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan women’s basketball team travels to New York to face Buffalo at 3:00 p.m. Saturday, trying to end a three-game losing streak. This will be the second game with starting freshmen Crystal Bradford, Jessica Green, and Jas’Mine Bracey back since being suspended after a fight during a game against Ohio University on Jan. 25. With the reappearance of these three freshmen, the Chippewa basketball team aspires to regain mojo lost when they were suspended. “The return of those players adds strength to the team by having everyone back,” said sophomore forward Taylor Johnson. Buffalo is 0-4 against MidAmerican Conference opponents at home. During these home games, Buffalo is averages 67.5 points per game while allowing an average of 79.8 points by opponents. Head coach Sue Guevara’s main focus points for Satur-

day are transition defense and knowledge of the opposing team’s players. “Buffalo contains an array of players,” Guevara added. “Some can post up and grab rebounds, while others are deadly outside of the arc.” Johnson said he thinks focusing on the defense, especially rebounding, can help the Chippewas pull off a win. “If we can treat Saturday as every other game, and not go out with a mindset that we are going to crush them, or we are going to lose, but focus on playing together as a team, anything is possible,” she said. Buffalo currently averages 38 rebounds per game, led by forward Beth Christensen, who averages 7.7. CMU has an average of 43.2 rebounds per game, which is headed by Bradford, with an average of 8 per game. Buffalo’s leading scorer is guard Brittney Henderson, averaging 20.6 points per game. Bradford also leads CMU in scoring with 14.4 points per game. sports@cm-life.com

Randolph gets CMU ready for ‘meat of season’ By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

With Jay-Z music blaring through the speakers Willie Randolph dipped his fingers into a Styrofoam cup halffilled with lotion. Randolph, the Central Michigan director of track and field, spread it across the leg of sophomore sprinter Ross Parsons and talked with him about how he felt running in previous meets and practices. Randolph said it was a typical Wednesday: recovery day. He said athletes used

the light practice to get in some work, but also focus on resting for the upcoming meets at Grand Valley State and Akron. He also said the meets this weekend will be the final preparation before the team enters what he called “the meat of the season.” “This is pretty much our final big tune-up,” Randolph said. “It’ll allow us to get more comfortable and grow in confidence.” The distance runners will compete at the Big Meet, at Grand Valley State University, beginning 10 a.m. both today and Saturday.

Men try to avoid being swept by MAC East Miami attempts to extend Chippewas losing streak By John Manzo Senior Reporter

It’s the last chance for the men’s basketball team to get a win against a Mid-American Conference East opponent this weekend. Central Michigan has dropped its first five games against the East division, but at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in Oxford, Ohio. The Chippewas are still uncertain of Trey Zeigler's status. The RedHawks are last in the MAC East with a 7-15 overall record and 3-7 in the MAC.

Miami forward Julian Mavunga is tied for the conference lead in scoring with Toledo’s Rian Pearson, averaging 17.3 points per game. Along with a winless record against the MAC East, Finnis Craddock CMU is in the midst of an eight-game losing streak and junior Finnis Craddock said the team has to do whatever it takes to get a win. “Whatever we can do, whatever we can do is what it’s going to take," he said. "Hard work and dedication." That hard work and dedication might need to come from the defense, which has quite possibly been its best offense

lately. In the 66-62 loss Wednesday against Buffalo, the Chippewas forced 14 turnovers and scored 21 points of them. “It’s a huge part for us,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler said after the loss to Buffalo. “I thought guys did an excellent job of executing our game plan. We were able to get out in transition. Derek (Jackson) got a couple of alley-oop dunks out of it, and that’s how we have to manufacture points when you struggle to knock down those open ones." After Mavunga, the RedHawks take a huge hit offensively. Mavunga averages almost seven more points than the team’s second-leading scorer, Brian Sullivan. Point guard Jorddan Myrick

will continue to be out of the lineup because of a lingering hip injury according to Ernie. Expect backup point guard

weaknesses on the team that require special attention. However, he said, the small injuries around the team have caused them to lighten workouts, or sit out a couple practices. Randolph said the expectations are still the same. “We expect a lot of things from everybody,” he said. “We’re not really waiting to stop and wait for anybody to catch up.” sports@cm-life.com

Even with all the falls, Reighard said he is still confident with the team he has put together during all the injuries. “I’m confident we have the personnel to do so,” Reighard said “But it’s going to take everyone’s best physical and mental effort.” CMU is going through a tough stretch on the schedule. The team placed third in the Illinois/Michigan Challenge, and lost to Texas Woman’s Uni-

versity the week before. Reighard is poised to stay undefeated in the MAC. He said it’s what matters to him the most. “It’s paramount. That’s our number one goal,” Reighard said. “At the end of the season, the team with the best MAC record gets to choose what event they start on at the tournament.” sports@cm-life.com
