University library faculty endorse no confidence vote By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

The wave of disapproval against Central Michigan University’s top administrators continued late last week — this time at the library. Stephanie Mathson, assistant professor and reference librarian, wrote in an email to Central Michigan Life Friday the library faculty “unanimously approved” the Academic Senate’s Dec. 7 vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro during a meeting of faculty librarians. Mathson heads the library governance committee and chaired the meeting. Faculty librarians are now the 11th reported unit on campus to endorse the vote of no confidence. In Friday’s meeting, library faculty members discussed issues they’d like to see the Board of Trustees address in a resolution, of which included transpar-

ency and campus engagement. In the email, Mathson said the library faculty called upon the Board of Trustees to address five concerns, including: “Failure to include the CMU campus community in planning and decisionmaking in a truly meaningful and collaborative manner; Failure to regularly provide current, accurate and vital information to the campus community; Failure to properly respect and support the faculty and students of the university; And failure to acknowledge the high value of the scholarly accomplishments of university faculty, electing instead to vigorously demean and diminish those important scholarly achievements.” Mathson said in the email faculty librarians have directed her to “forward this resolution to the Board of Trustees without delay.”

Fundraising effort still at halfway point By David Oltean Senior Reporter

With more than $12 million of the $25 million goal still sought after by university officials, Central Michigan University’s fundraising efforts for the College of Medicine remain roughly halfway complete. The current funds, $12,877,000, total to 51.5 percent of the goal set for the developing medical school, which recently received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Since last December’s Board of Trustees meeting, an additional $234,500 has been raised. The funds will be divided into three areas: facilities, scholarship and operations. Kathy Wilbur, vice president of Development and External Relations, said $5.4 million of the $15 million goal for Saginaw and Mount Pleasant facilities has been acquired, $6 million has been raised toward the $8 million goal for scholarship, and $1.3 million of the expected $2 million toward operations has been acquired. Wilbur said fundraising efforts have been right on track, and she expects the recent accreditation to help increase donations. “Once they understood what (receiving preliminary accreditation) took, I think

there’s been a great deal of respect for what the College of Medicine had to put together and what the university had to respond to, so (donors are) very pleased and excited,” Wilbur said. She said there are roughly 60 fundraising campaign volunteers helping to find donations for CMED throughout different regions of Michigan. She said because the building is now complete, it may help funding efforts as well. “There’s no question that an announcement of preliminary accreditation helps with those efforts, but I think also having the building completed on campus helps as well,” Wilbur said. “It makes it, in some ways, more tangible for donors.” Wilbur said she expects the entire $25 million to be raised for the school eventually. “We’ll reach this funding goal,” Wilbur said. At the Feb. 16 Board of Trustees meeting, CMED Dean Ernest Yoder said the university is still expected to open up in summer of 2013 with a limited class size for the first semester. Yoder said credentials required of students applying to CMED include a 3.25 grade point average and a minimum score of 24 on the Medical College Admissions Test.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul delivers a speech to the audience Saturday in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium as former military servicemen stand behind.

‘Waking up’ Warriner Ron Paul delivers campaign speech about economics, foreign policy, limited government By John Irwin | Staff Reporter

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul visited Central Michigan University Saturday evening in front of a crowd of more than 1,450, looking to gain traction before Tuesday’s Michigan Republican primary. Paul, a congressman from Texas, said he believes a “revolution is going on,” adding the people are “waking up” and growing tired of war, debt and government spending. “We need to wake up Washington D.C., because they are sound asleep, and they need to hear our voices loud and clear,” Paul said during his speech held in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium.

Paul said the U.S. has stretched its military resources too thin. “We have over-expanded ourselves,” Paul said. “We should just mind our own business and just come home.” He drew parallels to the calls for war with Iran from his fellow Republican candidates to those made for the Iraq War a decade ago. “The war drums are beating,” Paul said. “We are not under threat from the Iranians. We need to wake up and tell our representatives that we don’t need another war. We need less war.”

Paul was joined on stage by veterans of World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent much of the speech decrying war and its impact on the federal deficit and America’s image abroad, saying the United States should consider a “golden rule” in foreign policy. “Americans by a large majority have come around and said the wars we’re fighting in the Middle East make no sense whatsoever,” Paul said. “In the last 10 years, these wars have caused us to build up $4 trillion in debt, and quite frankly, I don’t feel safer because of it.”

More than 1,450 people from across the state flocked to Central Michigan University Saturday to hear Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul’s campaign speech before Tuesday’s primary. John Engel traveled from Bay City to support Paul, who he called “the only true conservative in the race.” “It’s the only thing that makes sense,” Engel said. “He is the only one who is really addressing our national debt with serious cuts.” Some students, even those who disagree with Paul’s views, said they were glad Paul visited, where he was met by a full crowd in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium.

“I think it’s really awesome that people are getting involved in the civil process,” said Michelle Shamaly, College Democrats member, SGA Press Secretary and a senior from Clinton Township. College Republicans member Stephanie Jaczkowski, a Clinton Township senior, agreed. “It’s great to see other people involved, whether they agreed with Ron Paul or not,” she said. “They really do understand we have a vested interest in our future.”

Paul’s speech included many references to civil liberties and freedom. “That’s a message that resonates with every American,” Jaczkowski said. However, Shamaly did not accept that message coming from Paul. “He talks about civil rights and liberties, but if you dig into it a little more, you’ll find he is antigay and (anti-)women’s rights,” she said. Paul was brought to CMU by Campus Conservatives, a registered student organization. Campus Conservatives President Taylor Jackson, a Mount Pleasant senior, said the night was a definite success. “It went very well,” he said. “This was big, especially for our group.” While the RSO will not be offering an endorsement, Jackson said he was glad the event drew such an enthusiastic crowd. “There was a tremendous amount of energy in the audience,” he said. “Dr. Paul was very well received by everyone there.” Because the 1,226 seats in the auditorium were full, attendees stood lining the walls of the room, and a crowd stood in the lobby listening to an audio stream of the event. Those who were not admitted were also given vouchers to attend Monday’s speech at Michigan State University. Outside Warriner, volunteers from the Committee For a Safer Michigan collected signatures to legalize marijuana for people 21 and older. Among them was James Louallen, who traveled from Marion. “Police have better things to do with my tax money,” he said. “Alcohol and marijuana prohibition doesn’t work.” The newly formed group has until July to get 366,000 signatures; so far they have a few thousand and added about 150 before the event, one volunteer said. The group’s website states: “We believe police should stop enforcing marijuana prohibition and instead refocus their priorities to arrest violent criminals and other real threats to public safety.” Paul echoed that sentiment in his speech, saying “The 40-year war on drugs has failed.” Whitehall senior Justin Robillard and his friends were thrilled to learn Paul was coming to campus. “I have liked Ron Paul since my freshman year in 2007,” he

“Our plan is for the first class to be 60 and then ramp it up to a class size of 100,” Yoder said. Yoder said the next step for CMED is preparing a new study for a provisional accreditation evaluation in 2014, as well as continue to hire faculty

said. “We didn’t know he was even coming to Michigan.” The speech helped Paul gain some new supporters as well. For Sears senior Steve Prichard, the event solidified a vote for Paul in Tuesday’s primary, after getting a clearer idea of what he stands for. “I got lucky to come here,” he said. “He gave a good speech.” Paul Gray, a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati, has been traveling around the country with the campaign selling T-shirts he designed. “Ron Paul inspired me, so I came up with the T-shirt idea and figured I’d practice capitalism,” he said. The shirts read “viva la constitution,” with Ron Paul’s face planted in the silhouette of George Washington. “The shirts have been selling really well, and it’s a blast doing it,” he said. Military support “Today, more military members support Dr. Paul than any other candidate,” said Tony Demott, of Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen for Ron Paul, who spoke before Paul came to the stage. Paul opposes the Patriot Act, a law passed in 2001 that authorized warrantless wiretaps, and the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a vague provision that may allow the military to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial. About 20 veterans were recognized before the speech and stood behind Paul as he spoke. However, their lack of diversity raised questions for some attendees. “I thought it was odd they didn’t have any women or minorities on the stage,” Shamaly said. “It speaks to who his base is.” But Jaczkowski thought the omission was unintentional. “It probably had nothing to do with the campaign,” she said. “It was probably just who was available tonight.” Among the veterans on stage was retired staff sergeant Rhys Williams of Weidman. Williams, a member of Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen for Ron Paul, gladly accepted the invitation he received earlier this week. Williams said he agrees with Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy and defended it against claims of isolationism. The veterans received several standing ovations, cheers and shouts of gratitude from the audience. “I was beaming ear to ear,” Williams said. “My family calls me a hero, but that man (Paul) is my hero.” studentlife@cm-life.com

PRO-LIFE group on pro-Santorum bus tour in Michigan will be in Mount Pleasant Tuesday By John Irwin Staff Reporter

A pro-life group of Rick Santorum supporters are traveling throughout the state by bus to show support for the Republican presidential candidate. The bus tour is led by social conservative groups; the Susan B. Anthony List, the Culture War Victory Fund, Catholic Vote, Campaign for Working Families and Let Freedom Ring.

The tour started Thursday in Grand Rapids and has visited Kalamazoo, Lansing and Detroit. The group will finish its tour in Mount Pleasant on Tuesday, the day of the Michigan Republican presidential primary. They will be at Ponderosa Steakhouse, 1301 E. Pickard Road, at 1 p.m. The group is looking to garner support for Santorum, a former United States senator from Pennsylvania, ahead of the

Michigan primary. Santorum is in a tight race with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in Michigan. Recent polls show Santorum and Romney within a few percentage points of each other. A win for Santorum would be a blow to the Romney campaign. Romney is from Michigan and won the state easily in the 2008 Republican primary. metro@cm-life.com

Wait list function to begin on iCentral for class scheduling in fall By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University students now have an alternative to bump cards. Beginning with class registration for the fall 2012 semester, students have the option to put themselves on a wait list for classes that are full. The wait list function can be found

on iCentral and is available to students as an option when students register for classes as they normally would. However, there are stipulations. According to a Wait List Instructions document on the CMU Registrar’s website, students may not be on the wait list for more than one section of a course, and students will

not be able to enroll in another class held at the same time and on the same day as the class they are on the wait list for. Additionally, if students are already enrolled in one section of a course but wish to be on the wait list for another section, enrolling for the wait list of the second section will automatically drop students from the section they are al-

ready enrolled in. South Campus Academic Adviser Amy Faber said bump cards may eventually be eliminated. “The idea behind the wait listing is that bump cards could be phased out or eliminated depending on how each department wants to use the wait listing function,” Faber said. “It’s up to each depart-

ment whether they want to utilize the wait list function, but it’s all or nothing. Either all classes from the department offer a wait list option or none of them do. A department could still choose not to participate at this point.” The wait list option may prove to be both good and bad for students. “I think (the wait list) is go-

ing to alleviate some student stress regarding tracking professors down to get a bump card, but we don’t want students to have false hope that they’ll get into the class,” Faber said. “Make sure to plan your schedule accordingly as if you’re not going to get into the class you’re wait listed for.”

Interim FPS director Matthew Serra given permanent status Search committee called him ‘best qualified’ for job By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

Matthew Serra is the new executive director of Faculty Personnel Services at Central Michigan University. Serra was selected through a nationwide search following the Dec. 31 retirement of Bob Martin, former associate vice provost of FPS. “I’m truly excited for the opportunity and challenge of leading Faculty Personnel Services,” Serra said. “I look forward to our office continuing to provide excellent services that align with the university’s mission and core values.” The open position was advertised across the country, and the search committee looked at 27 candidates, including three with connections to CMU as current or former employees. Ian Davison, dean of the College of Science and Technology, led the search com-

mittee. “The committee identified those candidates who met the requirements for employment, labor relations and human resources expertise, combined with experience in higher education,” Davison said. Two finalist candidates were invited for on-campus interviews, where they met with the FPS, college deans and associate deans, leadership of the Faculty Association, Union of Teaching Faculty and Graduate Student Union, Vice Provost Ray Christie and Provost Gary Shapiro. “After a careful review of each of the applicants, the committee’s assessment was that Matt Serra was by far the best qualified person for the job,” Davison said. Upon Martin’s retirement, Serra took on added interim responsibilities while the search committee looked for a replacement. “Although Mr. Serra’s tenure assuming interim responsibilities for FPS was brief, my A Serra | 6a

RSO continues efforts to ban bottled water sales on campus By Lonnie Allen Staff Reporter

Efforts to end sales of bottled water on campus have not ended. Iron Mountain junior Krista Testolin, campus coordinator for the registered student organization Take Back the Tap, said the group continues to spread its message and hopes to reach a wide demographic of students on campus. “We would like to reach all students on campus and make sure they are aware of environmental issues such as the unnecessary use of plastic and oil to create water bottles,” she said. “Many people claim to be sustainably minded but don’t have the courage to take action.” There are about 13 colleges in the United States that have ended bottled

water sales on campus, and Testolin said she would like to see CMU do the same. Earlier this month, officials at the University of Vermont said the school plans to end sales of bottled water within the next year. “Ending the sale of bottled water on CMU’s campus would be a powerful move that would make us a very unique institution,” she said. Mariah Urueta, Walled Lake freshman and Take Back the Tap president, said the RSO has gotten a resolution passed in the Student Government Association House, but it later failed in the Senate. The resolution would lay the groundwork to eventually end bottled water sales on campus. A Bottle | 6a

THE NIGHT AFTER Winners chosen for 2012 juried student art exhibit; will be on display through March 24 By Chad Mitchell | Staff Reporter

Anne Gochenour said the quality of work at this year’s juried art exhibit was the highest it has ever been, despite a small selection pool. Fifty-eight students entered 125 pieces, said Gochenour, Central Michigan University Art Gallery director. “A bigger show isn’t necessarily a better show,” she said. About 70 people gathered in the main gallery for the reception of this year’s exhibit at 2 p.m. Saturday. Of the pieces entered, 77 were chosen to be displayed in the main art gallery. Two professional artists, Denise Whitebread Fanning and CMU alumnus Joe Rivard, acted as jurors for this year’s exhibit. Fanning and Rivard were responsible for choosing the pieces to be displayed and the winners of the merit, juror and grand awards. Warren senior Andrew Hawkes earned the $200 grand award with his piece “The Night After.” His sugar-and-salt-on-paper display depicted the struggles of moving on after ending relationships. This was Hawke’s fourth year entering the juried

student art exhibit and his fourth prize, but he said he didn’t enter expecting to win. “It’s just a great opportunity to show,” he said. “It’s exciting to see art from fellow students.” Hawkes is working toward a degree in photography but said he likes to branch out, like he did for this exhibit. He said he hopes to get a master’s degree and teach art at the college level in the future. Bad Axe senior Lauren Hild won one of this year’s $50 merit awards with her piece “Resurgence of the

Glass Ceiling.” Based off an argument she had with her mother, Hild’s bronze, fabric and vinyl piece was a portrayal of discrimination against working women. Hild said she didn’t expect any awards after winning last year’s grand prize and said it’s impossible to guess what the judges will pick. Craftsmanship and underlying intent are two of the many considerations that go into judging pieces. Sterling alumnus Sarah Noble agreed judging is a complicated process. She said, even as a professional

graphic designer, she didn’t think she would be a qualified judge because of the vast set of skills to consider. Noble helps design print, magazine and web content for 94.5 The Moose but was still impressed by the work presented at the exhibit. “It’s something to be inspired by,” she said. “If you stop looking, what’s the point of designing or creating any more?” The exhibit will be on display in the main art gallery until March 24. studentlife@cm-life.com

About 2,000 attend annual Up All Night event By Adam Niemi Staff Repor ter

Adam Niemi/Staff Photographer

Caricature artist Ken Crouse works on a drawing Sunday during CMU Up All Night at the Student Activity Center. The annual event is sponsored by Office of Student Life and runs from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Everything Ken Crouse needed for the night was strapped to his two-wheel cart. Crouse, a caricature artist for Eccentric Entertainment, set up his folding lounge chair by a stairwell in the main concourse of the Student Activity Center. During the entire event, from 11 p.m. Saturday until 3 a.m. Sunday, he drew free caricatures for students attending Central Michigan University Up All Night. The event is a once-a-year alternative to bars and parties. About 2,000 people attended this weekend.

Damon Brown, Office of Student Life coordinator of student activities, said he was surprised at the amount of people who waited to get inside. “Not necessarily the surprise (at the number of students in total), just the line outside at 10 (p.m.),” Brown said. “I’m just amazed at how much response we get from students.” Inflatable obstacle courses, a dodgeball pit, jousting and hamster spheres were each fed steadily by long lines. The inflatables, along with Crouse, were from Eccentric Entertainment, based in Grand Rapids. Damon, also the adviser of Program Board, said the

event becomes the longest night of the year for him, but it is well worth it. “We’re just trying to create an atmosphere where students can get together and have a good time,” he said. “When I see they’re having fun, it’s worth it.” Among video games, free food, inflatables and caricatures were entertainment. Four musical groups performed, including Fish ‘N Chips, Central Harmony, Ben Schuller and Trap Door. Damon said Kyle Post was also scheduled to perform but canceled for an unknown reason. He said the entertainment aspect of the event had shifted from looking beyond cam-

pus for bands to noticing campus talent is the best option. “The first couple years we tried to bring in outside bands, but then we realized there are students here that have a lot of talent,” Brown said. “We wanted to give them a chance to showcase their talent.” Illinois freshman Jason Clements said he and his friend, Goodrich freshman Dylan Brown, decided to come to the event after seeing a flyer. “It was free and seemed like an exciting thing to do,” Clements said. “It was kind of a last-minute decision.” stud entl i fe@c m-l i fe.com

EDITORIAL | Campus Conservatives delivered with Ron Paul

Relevant Rhetoric

do lectures and campaign speeches by politicians. Dayglow served as a fun way to release the stress many students feel in college, especially during midterm season. But that doesn’t mean paint parties and concerts should be the extent of what we offer as far as entertainment goes. This March, the Speaker Series is bringing world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall to campus, best known for studying chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. The cost of $60,000, a one-time gift from the college deans and provost, will be paid to the Jane Goodall Institute. Her visit has already generated considerable buzz across campus, but why should such an event come once a year and without permanent funding? Also in 2009, co-creator of South Park Trey Parker visited campus free of charge after being invited by a distant relative, journalism professor emeritus Elliot Parker. Parker’s visit, like Paul’s, shows that important people can be lured without a sub-

on Paul left Mount Pleasant soon after his speech Saturday night, but the conversations his speech started will continue for weeks.

This Editorial Board wants to acknowledge the effort demonstrated by Campus Conservatives and applaud them for their work in successfully bringing presidential candidate Paul to campus to speak this past weekend. The registered student organization did not offer an endorsement of Paul, and neither will we, but the importance of his stop here should not be underestimated. In recent years, Central Michigan University has managed to bring in only a handful of marquee events offering intellectual stimulation, and none come to mind that generated national headlines as Paul’s appear-

ance did. The more than 1,400 who attended, some out of support for his campaign, others in opposition or motivated by sheer curiosity, demonstrated Central Michigan University’s role as a forum for thought and debate deserves greater attention. Also held this past weekend was an electronic music concert Dayglow, held Friday in Finch Fieldhouse and promoted as “America’s Largest Paint Party.” The event, which drenched dancing attendees in neon paint, attracted 3,300 people, many of whom were CMU students. Paint parties have a place here, as

stantial fee. Sometimes all it takes is reaching out, as Taylor Jackson, Campus Conservatives president, did with Paul’s campaign. Both the university and other RSOs need to extend invitations to more people capable of generating important conversations about policy, morality and leadership in the same way. It’s important to acknowledge the cost of bringing Paul to campus was extremely affordable, $933 paid for by Campus Conservatives, because of his current campaign promotion across Michigan. It is even more important to understand these are the types of significant figures that should be sought after by CMU to visit our campus. Permanent funding and an expanded schedule for the Speaker Series go a long way toward meeting that goal, but other RSOs would do well to follow the example set by Campus Conservatives. Pick up the phone and keep students talking.

Talking to India It cannot be denied that we are living in an increasingly global society. Social networking allows people living on different sides of the world to connect instantly, which was not possible in the not-so-distant past. While many people enjoy this new age of international relations, others have been complaining about American companies outsourcing to other countries. The main argument is that these actions take jobs away from American workers. Thanks to the global society we live in, communicating with people of different nationalities is not uncommon. It should be expected that international communication would occur on a regular basis. The most common criticism I hear about Indian customer service representatives is their accent. However, I do not believe this is a valid complaint. After all, if accents were such a big deal, movies like “Harry Potter” and “The King’s Speech” would not be as common in America. If people can interpret British accents, why can they not interpret Indian accents as well? While the argument can be made that British accents are easier to understand, I believe this is simply because Americans are more exposed to them. With time, it can be assumed Americans will become more acclimated with Indian accents as well. In my opinion, the nationality of the person on the other end of the phone should not be important. As long as the customer service is good, why does the country of origin matter? I experienced this recently through several different calls to Amazon’s customer service. I called the customer service hotline at 11 p.m. Sunday and was connected to a man in India. I was able to understand him easily despite his accent, and he was very courteous. The call lasted roughly five minutes, and I was only on hold for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time. A few days later, I called Amazon at 9:30 a.m. This time, I was connected to an American man, who was also polite. However, the call lasted almost 20 minutes, and I was put on hold for five minutes at a time. After resolving the issue, he made a surprising comment. Despite his apparent politeness, he was moderately rude in telling me the solution was a one-time deal. In the end, I felt much more comfortable during the phone call with the Indian man. He was extremely kind, and I appreciated he was available at such a late hour. Had Amazon not utilized their human resources in India, I would have had to wait until Monday morning for my issue to be resolved. While Americans may need jobs because of the poor economy, we are not the only ones being affected. The global economy is struggling, so people in other parts of the world are most likely just as appreciative for the jobs as Americans would be.

Disheartened by CMU’s reaction to deaf student I wanted to express my appreciation to Central Michigan Life for recently featuring the article about oppression and discrimination against Kelly Laatsch, a Deaf elementary education senior. I learned about this situation a few months ago and as an alumna of the class of 1997, I cannot express enough my disappointment in my alma mater. This kind of bullying and blatant discrimination by university leaders makes me so very angry. Would they ask a student in a wheelchair to stop being so dependent on the chair, a ramp or an elevator? Would they ask a student with vision loss to stop being so dependent on a cane, a service animal or braille?

Audism is an attitude based on pathological thinking that results in a negative stigma toward anyone who does not hear; like racism or sexism, audism judges, labels and limits individuals on the basis of whether a person hears and speaks (Humphrey and Alcorn 1995: 85). University leaders at CMU appear to be engaging in audist practices with this student, and it needs to stop immediately. When I first came to CMU in 1993, the campus felt like a whole new and exciting world to me. I graduated from a small-town high school with only 40 other students who were exactly like me. It was at Central that I first met other students of color, other students with disabilities, other

students of various sexual orientation, other students of various socio-economic status. It was at Central where I first learned to be mindful of the privilege from which I benefit because I am a straight, white, middle-class, able-bodied American. It was at Central where I learned that my world is a wonderful and exciting place when I include all people in it and all people are equal. I am truly disheartened that twenty years later, the institution that first introduced me to being open to difference in the world is engaging in this type of privilege and oppression. Leslie Pertz, LLMSW Class of 1997

Admins change stance on pay freeze to suit needs When I heard University President George Ross’ announcement that employment groups at CMU who endured a pay-freeze in 2010/2011 would receive a 2.25 percet lump-sum bonus, I was excited. After all, I had received a zeropercent wage increase that year — as had all my colleagues in the Union of Teaching Faculty (the union representing the fixedterm faculty who teach about half the classes at CMU). I sure could use the extra money: maintaining a family of four on a salary of $41,000, before tax, is not easy. And I knew Ross knew that I hadn’t got a raise last year — his administration made a

point of claiming that UTF members had “accepted” a pay freeze in several press releases all last semester. The UTF protested these press releases repeatedly: we had not “accepted” any such freeze; it had been imposed upon us before we won our first contract in the Spring of 2011. But last semester, the administration liked to say the contingent faculty had accepted a pay freeze: this made our colleagues in the Faculty Association look greedy in their fight for a modest cost-ofliving raise. What a difference a semester makes! Now that there is money at stake, Ross seems convinced by

the UTF argument: we didn’t accept a freeze in 2010/11 (our pay was frozen, but we didn’t voluntarily “accept” this freeze) — so we’re not eligible for the lumpsum payment. Apparently, when it suits this administration’s public-relations needs, I accepted a freeze last year. When it suits the administration’s pocketbook to say the opposite, I didn’t accept the freeze — I just got frozen. Either way: pretty cold, President Ross.

Ron Paul is dangerous Ron Paul rather seductively characterizes himself as a crusader for personal freedom. His hostile anti-government libertarian philosophy appeals to millions of voters, because it appears ostensibly to empower the individual. “Once a government embarks on this notion that they can protect you from yourself, then there is no liberty left,” Paul said during his speech on campus Saturday. On the contrary, Paul has penned legislation every bit as directive and dangerous as the tyrannical federal government he purports to fight. There is a name for Paul’s less conventional tyranny. It’s called court-stripping. By emasculating the federal court system up to and including the Supreme Court, Paul’s strategy allows for individual state governments to restrict civil liberties at will and without federal remedy. Rather than protecting civil liberties, Paul’s court-stripping subjects them to the whims of fervently partisan legislators and to the tyranny of the majority in the polling booth. Paul takes special interest in “protecting you from yourself” if you’re either gay or a woman. Which is why he co-sponsored the Marriage Protection Act of 2007, H.R. 724, a bill that removes from jurisdiction of federal courts the ability to hear cases related to the Defense of Marriage Act. Section three of the MPA forbids federal courts from hearing “any claim based upon the right of privacy, including any such claim related to any issue of sexual practices, orientation or reproduction.” This would also overturn Griswold v. Connecticut, dealing a devastating blow to women’s reproductive rights. A state could then criminalize both homosexuality and the sale of birth control products without reproach from the federal government. Like much of Paul’s legislation, the MPA simply shifts the task of restricting civil liberties from the federal government in favor of the state. Paul’s Sanctity of Life Act of 2007, H.R. 2597, does the same. Turning back the clock on nearly 40 years of women’s rights, Paul’s legislation, as his website claims, effectively repeals Roe v. Wade. The bill removes from federal jurisdiction the power to regulate abortion. In addition to his attacks on gay rights and women’s health, Paul’s We the People Act of 2009, H.R. 539, targets the crown jewel of court-stripping: the separation of church and state. Paul’s bill would prevent federal courts from hearing “any claim involving the laws, regulations or policies of any State or unit of local government relating to the free exercise or establishment of religion.” A state government could then, without federal legal remedy, establish a state religion and compel its citizens to worship therein. Paul uses his aggressive state’s rights philosophy to justify repealing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is among Paul’s most controversial positions, because it is so immediately repulsive. The Civil Rights Act is a flagship example of the proper role of the federal government in upholding civil liberties nationwide. Women’s health, civil rights and religious freedom are stronger today because of federal protection. But the political will in the Republican Party to undermine these liberties is real and at a fever pitch. When one person’s civil liberties are weakened, we are all weakened. However indirectly, by weakening the federal government, Paul and his likeminded colleagues threaten to erase the civil liberties Americans have fought so long for.

Paul said sanctions similar to the ones President Barack Obama and the United Nations have placed on Iran “solidify support for their dictator.” He went after Obama’s expanded drone program overseas, saying it is increasing animosity abroad. “We have drones all around the world, and they (the federal government) wonder why (other nations) might be annoyed?” Paul said. He criticized the Patriot Act, a law passed in 2001 that, among other things, authorized warrant-less wiretaps, and the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes a controversial and vague provision that may allow the military to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial. “The worst criminals in the world have been given trials,” Paul said. “Now to assume that we can do this, this is a challenge.” Paul criticized government spending and federal debt and called for a return to laissezfaire economics and an eventual end to entitlement programs to counteract it.

[News] “We have perpetuated our debt,” Paul said. “We are now in the biggest debt crisis in the history of the world.” Paul called for a return to the gold standard, saying the U.S. does not have to return to the same gold standard of the past but rather an improved-upon gold standard. He also said the federal government should stop the drug wars, adding that “they don’t work.” Paul was introduced by U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, who Paul said has a voting record very similar to his. “There is no one who I admire as much as Dr. Ron Paul,” Amash said. Paul is traveling through Michigan in an attempt to win as many delegates as possible for Tuesday’s Republican primary. On Sunday, Paul appeared in Hudsonville for an event. Monday afternoon, Paul will be in East Lansing at Michigan State University to deliver a speech before heading to a Dearborn event that evening. The most recent Mitchell/ Rosetta Stone poll has Paul in third place in Michigan with 12-percent support. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Michigan native, is in first with 36-percent support. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is just behind Romney with 33 percent. Romney

received endorsements from The Detroit News, Detroit Free Press and Grand Rapids Press. Paul is looking to galvanize his base heading into the primary. He enjoys significant support among college students and younger people, which may explain his visits to CMU and MSU. Speaking to reporters after his CMU speech, Paul said he has no expectations heading into the primary. “I feel good, but I’m also realistic,” Paul said. The Paul campaign says despite not winning a single state so far, they are in second place in delegate count. The Paul campaign often sends supporters out to be picked as delegates after caucuses, who will later vote for Paul at the convention, despite the results of the election. The Ron Paul campaign has raised more than $31 million as of Jan. 31 nationwide and has more than $2.5 million on hand to spend. Some of that money has been spent on a new political advertisement on Michigan televisions blasting Santorum for being a “fake” conservative. He also called Santorum “fake” in the most recent Republican presidential debate and at a press conference after his CMU event. studentlife@cm-life.com

Education students to help Farwell middle school students choose college By Shelby Miller Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s middle-level education students are working to make a difference. On March 16 and 17, students will hold Camp Farwell, an overnight college awareness and self-discovery event at Farwell Middle School, to inspire sixth-grade students. The idea began after Warren senior Thomas Trenkamp attended a service leadership camp through CMU’s volunteer center. He was motivated to write a grant proposal to Michigan Campus Compact. “Everyone in attendance was offered to write minigrants,” he said. “When I came back, I was planning on writing a grant. I just didn’t know what to write it for.” Trenkamp contacted Education Professor Norma Bailey and other education students to brainstorm an idea for the grant. Ultimately, the decision was made to hold an overnight camp for sixth graders at Farwell Middle School. The event will focus on two main themes: self-discovery and higher education. “It is an opportunity for students to develop a greater understanding for themselves by attending college and group activities and community-building exercises,” Bailey said. Trenkamp said the years around seventh grade are considered the most influential time for students to make the decision of whether to continue in higher education. “As students are developing a sense of self, what’s really important is for teachers to let them realize they can go to college and the opportunities available for them,” Trenkamp said. Trenkamp ultimately chose sixth-grade because he said he believes it is an age where students are still working to feel comfortable in their own skin. “Something that is unique is that they have a

negative connotation about this grade,” he said. “There are no natural leaders yet. They haven’t come out of their shell yet.” Trenkamp said choosing Farwell was a fairly easy decision because of the work CMU has done with the middle school in the past. “Farwell is a really great district,” he said. “They help us so much, so it’s great when we can give.” Like Trenkamp, Bailey agreed holding the event at Farwell will be a perfect fit because of the bond the district and the university already have. “I have a lot of kids volunteering in Farwell,” Bailey said. Bailey said Trenkamp and his fellow students are responsible for coming up with ideas for the camp, and then she takes the ideas and makes them possible by contacting the school board and administration.

“I do the things they can’t do,” Bailey said. “I’m the adviser of the group. I guide, but it is their camp.” Letters were sent home to students through the school, and 27 campers are signed up to attend. Throughout the two-day event, students will participate in activities such as breakout sessions, exploratory modules, films and skits. The activities will be facilitated by volunteer students from Bailey’s MLE 381: Needs and Characteristics of Young Adolescents. At the end of the event, students will create posters and projects to hang up around the school. “One thing the principal wants is to have students create things that could be put on the walls of the school,” Trenkamp said. “It will show the students that they are what is important in the school.” university@cm-life.com

“Basically, we are asking the SGA to support us in our efforts to amend the purchasing contracts with Pepsi and Coca-Cola and end the sale of bottled water on our campus,” Urueta said. “This would give us a statement to show purchasing we have the support of the CMU community on this issue.” Waterford senior Alysha McClain said Take Back The Tap will likely rework the resolution, because the main point of ending disposable bottled water sales on campus was probably the reason it did not pass the Senate. The wording of the resolution that will be amended by the Senate said, “Be it finally resolved, that SGA shall continue to collaborate with and publicize the Take Back the Tap movement

based promotion company Hottest College Parties, which helped bring Dayglow to CMU. “CMU’s one of the best Dayglows we’ve ever had; the kids there are the best,” Sampson said. “I love CMU.” Security guards surveyed the crowd to maintain organized chaos within the mosh pit. The crowd was a rowdy one with a number of arrests and tickets given out, said CMU Police Sergeant Mike Morrow. Fifteen people were sent to jail because of various crimes and misdemeanors and four misdemeanor citations (i.e. minors in possession, disorderly conduct). Seven people were transported to CMCH for medi-

cal treatment, and 35 people were treated on-site for medical issues. There were 49 ejected from the event for various policy violations and/or disruptive behavior. “People get thrown out for disorderly conduct, fighting and touching girls inappropriately,” said a security guard. “I personally pulled out two people, but over 50 were probably pulled out.” While some students ended the night in handcuffs, most said they enjoyed the party. “It was better than last semester, because there was more paint and it was just crazy,” said freshman Marisa Montalbano.

while working with student leaders, Purchasing and Contracting and other administrative departments in order to gauge the student body’s opinion on the issue and take action accordingly to work toward a potential and gradual campus-wide end to the sale of bottled water.” RSO members said they are passionate about the cause ,because the plastics for water bottles require 17 million barrels of oil annually, and since there is no deposit on water bottles, 75 to 80 percent of them end up in landfills. Tom Rohrer, director of the Great Lakes Institute for Sustainable Systems, said the bottom line is sustainability on campus. “This is a critical environmental issue,” Rohrer said. “The sustainable thing to do both from a environmental and economical standpoint is to use a refillable water bottle. There is

really no difference at all from tap water. Approximately half of store-bought bottled water comes from public water supplies.” Because petroleum is used when making disposable water bottles, it just makes more sense to buy a sustainable water bottle and refill it at fountains on campus, he said. Rohrer said he finds it hard to believe people will pay $1.50 for a disposable bottle of water. “We complain about $3.50 a gallon of gasoline, but we pay the equivalent of $10 a gallon for water,” he said. “The bottled water companies are laughing all the way to the bank.” Rohrer said companies pay nothing for ground water and charge the public around $10 gallon. “What a great business model that is,” he said.

Martin was hired Sept. 28, 2001 and submitted his plan to retire June 30, 2011. He and Serra worked with Christie on the seven-month Faculty Association’s 2011-14 contract dispute. “I was very fortunate to be

The Grand Rapids senior said all 28 SAAC members will sign the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign banner. “We hope that the campaign can change a few people in terms of how they conceive ‘the R word,’” Lohner said. “We’re raising awareness just for the fact that it’s insensitive, and hopefully we can give people pause for thought for the words they choose to use.”

able to work closely with Bob over the last four and a half years,” Serra said. “He is a fantastic mentor, a great leader and expert negotiator, a brilliant employee relations mind and a friend. He was truly an asset to CMU and will be missed.” As executive director, Serra is responsible for directing the staff of the FPS in personnel functions and contract administration for CMU’s tenure-eligible faculty, fixed-term faculty and graduate assistant employee groups. Martin’s title was associate vice provost of FPS, which was changed to executive director

of FPS following his departure, though Serra said the adjustment does not mean much. Serra’s priority list for his new position includes finding his replacement as director of faculty-employee relations and “promoting an atmosphere of openness and transparency.” “What is important to me is that I am able to continue to look for ways to improve the excellent service FPS provides to the CMU community,” he said.

Splashed gallons of paint, raging music, acrobats and laser lights brought 3,330 dancing participants to Finch Fieldhouse for the second Dayglow event this year. The sold-out show lasted five hours, beginning at 7 p.m., with some lining up outside as early as 6 p.m, braving 30-degree weather. “Let’s get weird, let’s get weird, let’s get weird,” chanted Clio freshmen Cody Kline, Conner Crabtree and Grand Rapids Community College freshman Reece Cooper, revving up the crowd as they waited in line.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is teaming up with Special Olympics for their second annual Spread the Word to End the Word campaign. The event’s purpose is to raise awareness and advocate for people to stop using the word “retard” or “retarded.” Although the national day of raising awareness is March 7, Central Michigan University is starting early with campaigning before the women’s basketball game on Tuesday and the men’s game on Friday, said Assistant Director of Student-Athlete Services Kelly Higgins. “We’re going to have our student athletes in the atrium of the Events Center with banners and stickers to share with community members and fans that come into the game,” Higgins said. The SAAC educated team

members about the day including what it stands for and what it means, she said. “Student athletes, coaches and administrators will sign a banner saying they’ll end the use of that word,” she said. “It seems like a majority of student athletes know someone or have interacted with someone who has mental disabilities.” Dan Ekonen, Special Olympics manager of volunteers and coaches education, said teaming up with CMU was a natural partnership. “We get phenomenal support from CMU athletics,” he said. Several Special Olympics athletes will be recognized at the basketball games for the events they participated in at the state games held in Mount Pleasant every summer, he said. “It’s important that athletes deserve respect, just like you and I do,” Ekonen said. “This is something we’re passionate

Most students face some sort of homesickness when getting to Mount Pleasant, but for Olivier Mbaigoto, it is extremely different. He is more than 6,000 miles away from his family and friends back in his hometown country of Chad. The 6-foot-7 junior left his old life behind to play basketball in Americas, but says he talks to his loved ones back home “very often.” He now is a starting forward for the Central Michigan basketball team. “The way people live down there (Chad) is a little different than in the U.S.,” Mbaigoto said. Mbaigoto said he misses his family more and more each day. Mbaigoto moved to the United States in 2006 and moved in with a family in Virginia who he said helped him get where he is today.

“They helped me get used to the U.S. life, like what to do here and what to do there,” he said. Mbaigoto’s primary language is French, but he strives to speak and understand English. He went to Bethel High School in Virginia and attended St. Petersburg College in Florida. He was on the move often since coming to America for basketball and a better education, but knows it is worth it. “I am very happy for this (opportunity); this is what I work for,” he said. “It is my passion to play basketball.” Mbaigoto’s passion to play and work hard does not go unnoticed. CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler and the coaching staff admire his work ethic and his understanding that playing Division I basketball is truly a privilege. “He’s a very diligent worker, and he is extremely prideful,” Zeigler said. Assistant coach Darren Kohne played an integral role in making Mbaigoto a Chippewa. Kohne and Mbaigoto developed a strong relationship during the recruiting process.

Kohne is very fond of Mbaigoto’s attitude. “You never have to encourage him to do better, he is always giving you his maximum effort,” Kohne said. He also said Mbaigoto is a model student athlete and that “you would like to have 15 of him on your team.” Mbaigoto said he is working for and living his dream. “He is as appreciative and grateful of a kid I have ever been around at any level,” Kohne said. “He takes nothing for granted.” During Mbaigoto’s time playing in high school tournaments and camps, he was around people that knew Kohne and became familiar to him. “I don’t know how much me knowing those guys in Ohio and Virginia helped us getting Olivier to Central Michigan, but what it did do was made Olivier more comfortable,” Kohne said. Once the program was in contact with Olivier, he came to visit the school. Then the team started taking an aggressive focus on him. A MBAIGOTO | 4B

Central Michigan director of track and field Willie Randolph would be the first to say his team did not run as well as it wanted this weekend. The men’s team finished third out of five teams at the Mid-American Conference indoor championship in Akron, Ohio, while the women’s team finished 10th out of 12 teams. Randolph said with a shortened roster, there was a lot more adversity to battle. Kent State won the women’s championship with 108.5 points. Akron won the men’s championship with 163 points. “There was a lot of different things that kept us from winning,” Randolph said. “They competed very hard. I’m very proud of them.” The Chippewas earned somewhat of a consolation – a few Chippewas won individual championships. Sophomore distance runner Tecumseh Adams won an individual MAC championship

in the 3k with a time of 8:36.56. Junior hurdler Renaldo Powell also won an individual championship in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.06. Senior multi-event athlete Josh Kettlewell won an individual championship in the heptathlon with a score of 5,465. “Honestly, going into it, it wasn’t about doing something crazy good to get an individual championship,” Kettlewell said. “I was focused on bettering my score for a chance to get in the NCAA championships.” Kettlewell’s teammate and training partner, sophomore multi-event athlete Tim Reynolds, finished in third place Saturday after sitting in eighth on Friday. “It’s very tough going into a second day being down that many points,” Kettlewell said. “He might break my record someday.” The men’s 4x400-m relay team broke a school record by half a second with a time of 3:14.19. The relay team finished second, behind Akron.

The Central Michigan gymnastics team (11-3, 5-0) continued its domination of the Mid-American Conference on Sunday against Northern Illinois.

Head coach Jerry Reighard was pleased with his team’s effort on the road, and gives credit to the focus and preparation that his team had coming into the meet. It’s something that Reighard believes caught NIU off guard. “I was really pleased, with the purpose of the team,” Reighard said. “We came in here with a purpose to secure our regular season title, and we did that. It was a close meet, after the first rotation we were ahead by only a couple tenths.” CMU will try for the title outright March 17 against Western Michigan. Freshman Tori Garcia hasn’t gotten a lot of attention this year as most of it has gone to team leaders Kristin Teubner, and Brittany Petzold. Garcia however set

the tone for the team after performing well on the vault. Reighard and Garcia had worked on a new routine for vault the previous week. “The highlight of the meet personally for me was Tori Garcia,” Reighard said. “She came through for us, she had been working on a new vault, and she scored a 9.8 on it today. That really inspired the team, it was great for her, but it was great for us to start off that well on our event.” The pressure was on after the first three events were close. CMU needed a minimum of five 9.6’s on beam. CMU flourished with the pressure. “Our team just tore it up,” Reighard said. “They were extremely focused and prepared. We went 49 even, that’s a 9.8 average, just a great day on beam. That was something that Northern wasn’t expecting because we haven’t done that all year.” The duo of Teubner and Petzold was at it’s best again against the Huskies. Teubner had an all-around score of 39.15, and Petzold had a score of 39.125. Reighard has been proud of the way the duo has performed all season.

Jackson leads men’s basketball in win against NIU By ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

Head coach Ernie Zeigler knew his team had to be better defensively after Toledo shot 58.1 percent from the field Wednesday against the Central Michigan men’s basketball game. His team held Northern Illinois to 36.4 percent shooting as the Chippewas defeated NIU 74-64 Sunday at McGuirk Arena. “I was extremely pleased with how well we played defensively,” Ernie said. “I think we got back to really executing. Our kids did a really good job carrying out our game plan.” It was the first time CMU held its opponent to below .400 shooting since its sixth game of the season. The game remained close early before CMU began to

pull away five minutes into the first half. Down 14-11, the Chippewas went on an 11-0 run capped off by a 3-pointer by sophomore Derek Jackson. The Chippewas (9-19, 4-10 Mid-American Conference) would continue to increase their lead up to a game-high 16 points 13:51 into the game. Another Jackson 3-pointer gave them the 33-17 lead. He had a team-high 19 points. “I think Derek really came out with a sense of purpose,” Ernie said. “He’s one of our scorers we depend upon game in and game out. I thought he had two really solid halves offensively.” NIU (3-24, 2-12 MAC) responded with an 8-0 run of its own cutting into the Chippewas lead. CMU would build its lead back up to 12 points, but a last-second 3-pointer by sophomore Antone Christian

UP NEXT 7 p.m. Wednesday CMU (9-19, 4-10 MAC) at Ball State (13-14, 4-10 MAC) brought the Huskies within 9 heading into the half, 39-30. Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler capitalized on his own steal by finishing an uncontested dunk 3:20 into the second-half, extending the Chippewas lead to 12. They would earn their largest lead of the half with 13:05 remaining on a junior Olivier Mbaigoto 3-pointer. “I think we clicked on all cylinders tonight — offensively and defensively,” Jackson

said. “I think our determination at the end of the year is helping us.” NIU hung around and made things interesting late. NIU freshman Abdel Nader’s two converted free throws made it a 6-point game with 2:10 remaining. He had a game-high 24 points. However, two made free throws by senior Andre Coimbra and a 3-pointer by Jackson depleted any chance of a successful comeback attempt. The Chippewas out-rebounded the Huskies 40-34 who were first in the MAC in offensive rebounding heading into the game. “That was one of their strengths coming in, but it was just a really good team effort, particularly on the defensive end,” Ernie said.

Tuesday Eastern Michigan 7 p.m. Mid-American Conference tournament

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan women’s basketball team did more than beat its rival Western Michigan 66-53 on Saturday. It guaranteed the team that on Saturday it will host the first round game of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. “This is a great win for us to pull us off the hump we were having,” freshman Jessica Green said. “It’s great to be able to play at home, because when we’re at home we’ve got everyone on our side and it’s a great environment.” The Chippewas (15-14, 7-8 MAC) used a team effort on Saturday afternoon to beat the Broncos (7-21, 4-11 MAC) in Kalamazoo. Offensively, four players scored double-digits for CMU with Green leading the way with 16 points, while sophomore forward Taylor

The Hatters bats beat up CMU pitching By John Manzo Staff Reporter

With a day-night split of the Saturday doubleheader, the Central Michigan baseball team couldn’t win Sunday against No. 23 Stetson to split the four-game series. The Hatters compiled double-digit runs for the second time in the series, beating CMU 14-3 at Melching Field in DeLand, Fla. The Chippewas had a chance to break the game open in the second inning in a tie game with the bases loaded after singles by seniors Nate Theunissen and Sam Russell. Freshman Tyler Huntey was walked, and CMU had its chance with the bases juiced but could only musterup one run. Then, the Hatters broke the game open. They scored four runs with just two hits because of mis-

cues by the Chippewas pitching and defense. The third inning began with a throwing error by CMU junior shortstop Jordan Dean, and then junior starting pitcher Rick Dodridge walked two before Stetson’s Ben Carhart knocked in as many runners with a single into left field. Stetson’s Tanner Blackman knocked in two runners two batters later with a single up the middle, giving Stetson a 5-1 lead. “They swung the bat well pretty much the whole weekend,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. Theunissen went 2-for-4 on the afternoon; he was the only CMU player with multiple hits. Dodridge dropped to 1-1 after giving up seven runs, one earned, in 4 1/3 innings. “I thought he was actually pretty good,” Jaksa said. “I’ll take that kind of effort from

Starting pitcher Zach Cooper struck out 11 batters, but the Chippewas didn’t have enough run support, losing 4-2. GAME TWO Saturday’s first game of a

day-night doubleheader saw layover from Friday’s defeat. CMU scored just three runs, and the Hatters scored in every inning but the fifth on their way to an 11-3 victory. CMU starting pitcher Jon Weaver was relieved from the game after 3 2/3 innings, giving up eight runs, two earned, in a sloppy defensive game. CMU had five errors and the Hatters had four, but they outhit CMU 10-7 and won their secondstraight game in the series. “Weaver struggled a bit, and we didn’t pick up the ball the way we can and I don’t think that helped him. We’ve got to pitch a little bit better, and we’ve got to pick up the ball,” Jaksa said. “(Longstreth) had an outing similar to Cooper’s on Friday, and we picked up the ball.”

Michigan loses its first home game all season to Purdue on senior day Wolverines finish season 15-1 at Crisler Arena By Mark Snyder Detroit Free Press (MCT)

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan entered Saturday on the verge of a landmark program night. A perfect home season, a chance to give impact seniors Zack Novak and Stu Douglass a dramatic Senior Night and sustaining momentum in the Big Ten title race all laid out for the Wolverines. Yet, a poor defensive effort was enough to snatch away all three goals at once, as Purdue beat the No. 11 Wolverines, 75-61, at Crisler Center. After the game, Douglass stood before his teammates in the locker room and told them: “If this helps us get better (ASTERISK) I didn’t come to Michigan to win on Senior Night, I came to Michigan to win.” Yet, that hope for the future – two regular-season road games, the Big Ten tournament and a high NCAA seed still remain – was of little con-

solation immediately after the Wolverines struggled to play defense Saturday, dropping Michigan two full games behind Big Ten leader Michigan State with two to play. “We didn’t check,” said Novak, who was scoreless in the first half but scored 12 points in the second to give Michigan a chance until the final 4 minutes. “We’ve had nights where we haven’t shot well and the other team might have shot a high percentage, but we really guarded them. That didn’t happen tonight.” The frustration comes because Michigan (21-8, 11-5), which finished the home season 15-1, turned an 11-point first-half deficit into a 42-40 lead with 12 minutes remaining. And the Wolverines were down four points with 4 minutes remaining. But two fatal errors in a minute – failing to guard Purdue star Robbie Hummel led to a pair of 3-pointers – and suddenly the deficit was 10 points deficit with 3 minutes left. Despite Hummel’s late heroics and his 17 points, he wasn’t the primary problem. Boilermakers sophomore

guard Terone Johnson, who averages 7.6 points, was a terror Saturday, scoring a career-high 22 points and hitting all four of his free throws – impressive for a 35-percent free-throw shooter. “We got down early and we missed some things,” Michigan coach John Beilein said, referring to the bad start to the game, missing the first five shots. “It’s not our two seniors that are making the mistakes. When (the Boilermakers) run their stuff, they run it at such a high speed. They don’t turn it over, they don’t give you chances and they really look for each other. You couldn’t give them much room. They were very selective with their threepoint shots, and they made them.” Many goals remain for Michigan, including the immediate task of trying to ensure a Big Ten tournament bye at Illinois on Thursday. “It might be good for us to not achieve one of our goals (of the perfect home season),” Douglass said after Saturday’s loss broke their Big Ten-long four-game winning streak. “It can only be used as motivation.”

March Madness hits McGuirk Women’s basketball will start the MAC tournament at home It’s that time of the year again, sports fans. It’s arguably the best season of sports baseball is starting up, the NBA and NHL seasons are in full effect but most importantly, it’s time for March Madness. And guess what, Central Michigan—you get to have a special taste of the madness. With their win Saturday, the women’s basketball team will get the opportunity to host a first-round game of the Mid-American Conference Tournament on Saturday. The regular season isn’t over yet CMU has one giant game to get through before it hosts the MAC Tournament. The Chippewas have to play Eastern Michigan, arguably the hottest team in the conference riding a nine-game winning streak. What better way for McGuirk Arena to prepare for the conference tournament than a rivalry game that will have a tournament feel to it. Last season’s EMU-CMU game here in Mount Pleasant was a classic. The Chippewas won 6867 after the Eagles couldn’t answer after a Kaihla Szunko jumper gave the Chippewas the lead with 12 seconds to go. This year shouldn’t be any different. Both teams are coming in expecting a tough and physical matchup. EMU has one of the best players this season in senior guard Tavelyn James, who torched CMU scoring 23-points in Ypsilanti. CMU has a few players of its own who have had standout seasons. Sophomore forward Taylor Johnson is coming off her best week of play averaging 12.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, three steals and shot 64 percent from 3-point range, connecting on nine of them. Freshman guard Crystal Bradford seems to have got back on track by providing a spark off the bench that wasn’t there since Johnson became a starter. The Chippewas will need Bradford, because sophomore guard Niki DiGuilio will be absent once again after leaving the team to handle some family matters. They may also need her to help the bench with senior forward Skylar Miller’s status up in the air after injuring her right shoulder Wednesday night against Northern Illinois. CMU has a big weekend of basketball ahead of itself. Tuesday it’ll welcome the Eagles for the regular-season finale and Senior Night where it’ll honor Miller and forward Sarah Huff in what will be a physical and exciting game. Saturday it is unclear who the Chippewas will play, but right now, it is clear they will be either the five or six seed meaning their opponent will be either 11 or 12 seed, for their first-round game in the MAC Tournament. As it stands now, they’ll be playing none other than Western Michigan. March Madness is hitting McGuirk Arena starting this week.

“They are an incredible one-two punch,” Reighard said. “They both looked stellar on all four events. It was really a great day for both of them.” CMU has a week off

the remaining meets are the NCAA qualifier in Ames, Iowa on March 3, followed by the NCAA championship in Boise, Idaho a week after. Kettlewell said there is no heptathlon in the qualifier. An NCAA committee selects heptathlon athletes for the championship. He said he’s excited to find out whether or not he will be selected and is training with the assumption he will go. “Based on what I’ve seen so far, I have a chance to get in,” he said.

LOS ANGELES _ Federal authorities are seeking information about Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach facing state charges of sexually abusing children, as well as others involved in the scandal that has shaken the college sports powerhouse. Penn State acknowledged receiving a federal subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of

Pennsylvania seeking information on Sandusky and others. The school is complying with the request, said Lisa Powers, director of the department of public information, in an email. According to Powers, the federal request also seeks information about former university President Graham Spanier, who was forced out during the scandal, plus athletic director Tim Curley and retired vice president Gary Schultz, who face state charges that they lied to a grand jury investigating

Sandusky. Spanier has not been charged with any crime but lost his job, as did football coach Joe Paterno, who died Jan. 22. The school’s board of trustees questioned whether the top officials had done enough to investigate Sandusky. The subpoena was dated Feb. 2 but remained secret until the Patriot-News of Harrisburg reported on it Thursday night. “Because this is an ongoing investigation, I can’t provide details about the request,” Powers wrote.

Intramural Basketball Championships in McGuirk Arena This week on February 27 and 29, mcGuirk arena will be home to a night of intramural glory. University recreation’s most popular spring sport is coming to a close and teams will earn bragging rights for the year to come. many students spend years of their college experience participating in men’s, Women’s, Corec, and Greek basketball leagues. On monday, February 27, the Greek Fraternity Championship will be held at 9:00pm followed immediately by the sorority Championship. sigma sigma sigma is going to this year’s sorority Finals and Breana Boyer explained, “Three years ago we didn’t have a basketball team, it’s cool because we’ve never made it this far before.” Their opponent, sigma Kappa is also going to the sorority Championship game. “We’re pumped to play in mcGurik arena,” said captain alyssa Gracik. On Wednesday February 29 an intramural skills challenge will pit intramural participants from all leagues against each other in a 3-point shootout, a 2-ball competition, and a game of lightning. intramural Championships will begin at 8:00pm with the Women’s league. This will be followed by the Corec Championship and finally the men’s Championship. This year’s competitors will have their team logos and scorekeeping displayed on the arena’s 10’ x 30’ jumbo screen accompanied by music. all of this year’s basketball champions will walk away with the coveted “all i do is Win” 2012 University recreation intramural Championship t-shirt and have their photo featured on the spring Cm Life poster. For more information contact the assistant director of intramural sports, scott George at georg2sw@cmich. edu. a full event schedule and many other CmU intramural features can be found on imLegues.com, access today by scanning this code:

The basketball program has a theme about being a family, and Zeigler said they are fortunate to have Mbaigoto be a part of the family. “It all came together,” Zeigler said. “He felt (CMU) was the right spot; he felt that family connection here.”

In addition to his new friends in Virginia, Olivier said he owes much of his success to his family back home. Members of his family used to play sports, but he did not grow up playing basketball. “Back home, I played soccer,” he said. “Also, everyone in

my family is tall.” Zeigler praises Mbaigoto’s athletic presence and the multiple-threat personality he has on the court. That athleticism has helped him to have the third-best rebounder and most blocked shots on the team. “His presence is huge,” Zeigler said. “He is an athletic scorer who has the ability to score inside and out.” sports@cm-life.com
