Trey Zeigler leaving CMU; eyes Duke Others to wait until new coach By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

file photo by jeff smith

Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler was granted his transfer request from Central Michigan Tuesday morning. He tweeted later Tuesday that he has an official visit to Duke this weekend.

Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler will be transferring from the Central Michigan men’s basketball team five days after his father Ernie Zeigler was fired as head coach. CMU Athletics confirmed Tuesday morning the transfer request was granted to Trey. The department will not grant any more transfer requests until the new coach staff is hired,

communication director Jason Kaufman said. Zeigler tweeted Tuesday afternoon “Official visit to Duke this weekend excited.” Freshman point guard Austin McBroom tweeted March 14, the day of Ernie’s firing: “Bye, bye Central, it’s been a pleasure !” McBroom will have to wait for CMU to hire its next coach before any transfer requests will be granted. CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke said last week he wants a new coach to be hired before the end of the spring semester so the players can meet the staff. “This is college sports; this isn’t

pro sports,” Heeke said. “There are no waiver wires; there’s no trade deadline. This is about kids that want to come here and get their education. If they can’t get it here, I will support them in their future endeavors. “I want them to succeed in life.” During Trey’s freshman year, he finished one vote shy of being Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year and set a single-season CMU program record for a freshman scoring 506 points. He was third-team All-MAC last year in his sophomore season and was honorable mention the previous year.

“We hope all current players on our roster will make a choice to stay here and be Chippewas throughout their career,” Heeke said last week. “They need to stay here academically through the semester to be eligible if they are wanting to transfer. We’ll support them with the direction that they want to go.” Late Monday night, Trey tweeted this: “Thanks CMU for everything...we had a bright future ahead of us but this game is a business..will miss my teammates and friends #FireUpChips.” sports@cm-life.com

Halfway through reading the book about elephants, Shaner abruptly stops and begins to describe her new pet rat to Walters. Such interruptions to share personal moments are something many of the second graders like to do with their tutors.

The litigation between the LaBelle Limited Partnership and Central Michigan University’s Board of Trustees, filed by LaBelle in November 2008, has yet to be resolved. The lawsuit, which involves the Center for Applied Research and Technology south of CMU’s campus, stated the board intentionally violated contract agreements when former University President Michael Rao was given authority in July 2008 to sign a lease with Lodgco Management LLC. Lodgco was the proposed developer for a Holiday Inn in the CART before LaBelle claimed the hotel project breached covenants with CMU dating back to the ‘80s

Shared governance legitimacy questioned at meeting

University President George Ross answers questions from Academic Senate about the new shared governance committee on Tuesday afternoon in Pearce 138.

Academic Senators brought questions and concerns about the shared governence committee at Tuesday’s meeting. The committee concept was adopted overwhelmingly at a meeting last month. Members of the A-Senate were asked about the legitimacy of the committee — what concerns it would address and what action, if any, the committee would take. A-Senate Chairman Jim

McDonald, also a member of the shared governance committee, said the committee would present motions to the president’s office. “(Communications and Dramatics Arts professor) Tim (Connors) and I are committed to proposing concrete things that will go to the office of the president,” McDonald said. Questions raised by ASenate members also asked about the use of outside consultants and the participation of administration and the CMU Board of Trustees. University President

about their institution and provide reaction to the governors’ recommended budget.” The Michigan House of Representatives and Senate each allow university presidents to testify on the higher education budget each year. University presidents will get 20 minutes to give their testimony, and then there’s time for questions. “As we continue testimony in the House Subcommittee on Higher Education, I look forward to hearing from many of the universities that have yet to testify,” said subcommittee Vice Chairman and Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, in a statement. The University of Michigan,

George Ross reassured the A-Senate that Sarah Opperman, the committee’s trustees member, is committed to participating regularly in what McDonald said will be weekly meetings that he hopes to start in the fall.

and 2005. LaBelle claims the breach of contract stems from the four-story height restriction for buildings in the CART that was amended to six without the company’s approval. According to the 2005 covenant, the university must receive 100-percent approval from all owners of building sites in the CART before any amendments are made to building policies. CMU General Counsel has argued in the past that LaBelle has no ownership of land in the CART, though the company leases the Bennigan’s restaurant and Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel and Conference Center, both at 2424 S. Mission St. and Fairfield Inn & Suites, 2525 S. University Park Drive. A lawsuit | 2a

General Counsel Manuel Rupe said the case is not yet resolved. “This litigation matter has not been resolved and continues,” Rupe wrote in an email Tuesday. “The Court of Claims has not scheduled a trial date.”

Through the paired reading technique, 23 CMU students serve as tutors for second and third graders at nine local mid-Michigan elementary schools, serving about 150 students, said Daneille Schmutz, Michigan Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA Mentoring Program manager. “They help students at a critical time in their literacy development to gain comprehension, confidence and fluency with reading,” Schmutz said. The America Reads program was established in 1997 as a national initiative by the Clinton Administration in order to meet a community need of providing extra attention to youth learning the foundations of reading, she said. The goal of the program is to have students reading well and independently by the end of third grade. Every student has the option of reading on their own or together with their tutor, Walters said. The three students Walters tutors are taken out of the classroom and into the hallway to work with her. “They get stickers for reading, and then they earn small, medium and big prizes,” she said. Seven-year-old Preston Umbleby sat down and started reading his Star Wars Lego book out loud before Walters could even ask if he wanted to read with her. “I don’t like the big ones,” said Umbleby, referring to the long paragraphs. The second grader explained every detail of Star

Wars to Walters as he read through the entire book on his own. “It’s always exciting when they want to read during their recess,” Walters said. “They all fight about who can read during that time or who can read first.” The majority of tutors are paid through work-study funds, Schmutz said. “This program is unique, because it allows students to work, assisting in paying for school by utilizing their financial aid award, yet they also are able to work a job where they feel they are making an impact and are having a meaningful connection with the community,” she said. Elementary students increase their reading comprehension, fluency and confidence through reading one-on-one with tutors, Schmutz said. Tutors also serve as college positive mentors, so they inspire students to view college as an option and to see post-secondary education as something that is both valuable and attainable. “Often tutors will say that they themselves were in a similar program in elementary school and that because of that experience, they want to encourage youth to celebrate literacy and develop reading skills that will help them in the future,” Schmutz said. “The tutors want to continue to influence students positively because of the impact similar programs and their tutors had on them. I think that is a beautiful thing.”

der’s budget is different this year, including the metrics in deciding how well a university is progressing. Last month, Snyder called for a three-percent increase in higher-education funding, resulting in about $2.5 million more for CMU in the 2013 fiscal year. Some metrics include the number of science, technology, engineering and math programs the university offers, degree completion rate and the number of Pell Grant eligible students attending the university. “We continue to work hard to improve affordable highereducation opportunities for college students in our great state,” Cotter said. “We appreciate the work that many of the schools have been doing to

keep their tuition increases to a minimum and provide greater access to quality education in our state.” The subcommittee is made up of Cotter, Bob Genetski, R-Saugautuck, Joe Haveman, R-Holland, Al Pscholka, RStevensville, Joan Bauer, DLansing and Shanelle Jackson, D-Detroit. Subcommittee members will hear the testimonies and then work together to make any relevant changes to the budget and to decide what they want to pass. The meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. March 28 on the third floor of the State Capitol building.

Plans for proposed hotel remain on hold The proposed hotel near Kelly/Shorts Stadium is unrelated to the hotel plans involving the LaBelle lawsuit, though both projects are at a standstill. The hotel, initially expected to be completed in time for the 2012 football season when CMU hosts Michigan State University, has been delayed because of both expenses and the pro-

posed property tax rate on the project. The hotel, to be built by Lodgco, is designed to include 150 rooms and both an indoor and outdoor pool, though the project remains in early stages for both design and finances. The project does not yet have a projected cost or date of completion.

EHS, CHSBS deans disagree with no confidence endorsements By David Oltean Senior Reporter

The College of Education and Human Services and the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences have contributed 10 endorsements of the Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence against university administration. But both deans said the endorsements do not reflect their personal views. Kathryn Koch, interim EHS dean and Pamela Gates,

CHSBS dean, reaffirmed their confidence in University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro. Of the 13 departments in the two colleges, only three have not been confirmed to endorse the Dec. 8 A-Senate vote. The 10 departments from the two colleges to endorse the resolution include English language and literature; foreign languages, literature and cultures; philosophy and religion; political science; psychology; sociology, anthropology and social work;

counseling and special education; human environmental studies; recreation, parks and leisure services; and administration and teacher education and professional development. Koch said the relationship between faculty and administration may take time to mend, but some of the departments in her college have already met with Ross and Shapiro to discuss concerns. “It’s a matter of the willingness on the part of both faculty and administration

to consider the concerns on both sides. No one side has all the answers, nor has any one side been all the problem,” Koch said. “It’s a combination of many factors. In terms of moving forward in a healing process, I know both sides are more than ready to do this and are making efforts to make that happen.” Koch said both faculty members and administration want to improve relations, though the situation can be difficult after contract bargaining.

“I truly believe that both sides are very interested in becoming a much more cohesive unit with less contention and strife and all of those kinds of things,” Koch said. “Nobody can function well in that kind of atmosphere. It’s not good for and we all understand that.” Gates said her college has always expressed its views and felt they would be heard by administrative units by endorsing the A-Senate resolution. Gates, however, said the department members’

views did not match with hers. “I fully support the president and provost, and I recognize and appreciate their commitment to the students, faculty and staff of CMU,” Gates said in an email. “Faculty have expressed their frustrations, and I appreciate that there are real concerns embedded within their actions. We are all challenged with addressing those concerns.”

Isabella County

Addition to Medical Care Facility expected to cost $4.5 million By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

The Mount Pleasant City Planning Commission will be reviewing a large and costly project at their March 29 meeting. Isabella County Medical Care Facility, 1222 North Drive, is proposing a twophase project that will add three stories and a utility pass, said Jeff Gray, director of planning and community development. Tanny Baumann, Isabella County Medical Care Facility administrator, said the project is projected to cost $4.5 million, although she said she hopes construction won’t cost that much. The project will be funded by past construction and operating mileages, as well as through revenue from the facility, she said. “We’ve been saving for a long time,” said Eileen Rau,

chairwoman of the Isabella County Department of Human Services Board. Baumann said the construction is expected to take two years. “The project involves doing some redesign of their interior space to expand their food service, and then they’re going to demolish a section of the building that is about 5,000 square feet,” Gray said. He said the project aims to take the existing nine rooms with 18 beds and change them all into private rooms. Baumann said privacy and dignity are top concerns with this project, with the goal being to suit residents’ wants and needs. “Some of the existing programs are expanding, but it’s not necessarily an increase in capacity for the building,” Gray said.

Center for Charter Schools adds four more schools this fall By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

The Center for Charter Schools will be opening four new schools in the Detroit area in fall 2012 after completing a competitive selection process. The four schools are the Detroit Innovation Academy, the Starr Detroit Academy in Harper Woods, the University YES Academy East in Detroit and the Academy of International Studies in Hamtramck. Each charter school initially will serve varying age groups, but all will expand to be comprehensive K-12 learning facilities, with the exception of University YES Academy, which will only expand to comprise grades six through 12. Partnerships for the schools were chosen through a two-phase se-

lection process out of an initial pool of 40 applicants. After going through a second application process, recommendations are sent to the board of trustees, who have the final decision. Cindy Schumacher, Center for Charter Schools executive director, said the rigorous process is required to be competitive by law but is also meant to provide the best partnerships possible for the schools. “We want to ensure whoever we’re partnering with will provide a sound education plan and a sound business plan and be able to implement it,” Schumacher said. Work for the four chosen applicants will continue until the schools open in the fall. Bi-weekly meetACHARTER | 5a

Perry senior Courtney Kalmbach recieved the Nature in the Woods fellowship from the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute in Hastings. Kalmbach will spend the summer writing ecopoetry with English professor Rob Fanning as her mentor.

mother nature’s muse Courtney Kalmbach awarded nature institute fellowship By Ben Harris | Senior Reporter

A Central Michigan University creative writing student has been awarded an opportunity to spend the summer doing what she loves. The Pierce Cedar Creek Institute in Hastings has awarded Perry senior Courtney Kalmbach the Nature in Words Fellowship for her proposal on ecopoetry. She will spend 12 weeks at the institute working on a written body of work and will receive, according to the institute’s website, a $3,500 stipend, along with housing and partial meal support. “Nature is really present in my work already, and it just made sense to me to apply for it, because it sounded like a dream. I was reading the application and everything involved and thought ‘Is this really something that’s out there?’” she said. “This is going to affect the way I write for the entirety of my life, I think.” Kalmbach said ecopoetry was an emerging field. It is different from nature poetry, which celebrates nature, in that it examines the relationship between humans and nature. “It suggests an environ-

mental movement, and it’s sort of activism in poetry,” she said. Kalmbach will be at the institute with students of different fields and will, for example, be able to mingle with biology students there to conduct observations or experiments. Professor Robert Fanning will be serving as Kalmbach’s faculty mentor. “I’ll probably meet with her a couple times out at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, and then we’ll email critiques back and forth of her work,” he said. “It’ll be a terrific opportunity for her to be able

to sit amongst nature, within nature and work on her poems.” Fanning said Kalmbach would be bringing some of what she will write back into the community to share at her old elementary, middle and high schools. “I think that’s vital, because, at least in my view of poetry and I’m sure Courtney’s too, that the act of writing is a solitary process, but once the poem has been written it’s meant to be shared, so that’s extremely important that what she discovers, she will share,” he said. Kalmbach is the second

student to be awarded the fellowship, Fanning said. Last year, a student from Alma College won. Kalmbach said she was ecstatic when she found she would be awarded the fellowship. “I haven’t been able to wean myself off of my professor’s criticism yet, and I think that’s what the whole experience is supposed to fulfill within a student is that being able to do that independently and knowing for yourself whether or not it’s been edited enough or not,” she said. studentlife@cm-life.com

23rd Anishinaabe Pow Wow takes place this weekend at Events Center By Paulina Lee Staff Reporter

File Photo by Victoria Zegler

Suttons Bay resident James “Bud” Day, 30, performs the men’s Grass Dance with members of his group April 2, 2011 at the 22nd Annual CMU Pow Wow in the CMU Events Center.

Colleen St. Onge, president of the North American Indigenous Student Organization at Central Michigan University, simply describes a Pow Wow as “a gathering.” “It’s something we do with friends and family; a chance to come together and dance,” the St. Ignace senior and member of the Sault. Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians said. The 23rd annual Anishinaabe Pow Wow will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Central Michigan University Events Center. Doors will

open to the public each day at 11 a.m., with grand entries of dancers and singers at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and 12 p.m. on Sunday. “We have the Pow Wow in springtime to dance for all the suffering and hardship from winter. It’s our way of healing,” St. Onge said. “Also, all the dances we have are passed down, and it’s important we keep them going.” The event will include eight to 12 drum circles, food vendors with traditional Native American food, traditional dancing and vendors selling arts and crafts all around the arena, St. Onge said.

Attendance at last year’s Pow Wow was more than 2,000, and this year’s event is expected to draw similar numbers, said Kasey McCullough, a junior from Escanaba and a student assistant in the campus office of Native American Programs and Diversity Education. “I think it’s important for students to come to the Pow Wow to learn more about the heritage and culture from the area, being right next to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe,” said McCullough, who is also on the planning committee for this year’s Pow Wow. Marcy Weston, executive

associate athletic director, said the event has importance for the entire CMU community. “I think the Pow Wow is one of the most significant events we have on our campus,” she said. “It allows the community to understand the rich tradition of the Saginaw Indian Chippewa Tribe. It is an honor that the tribe is willing to share their traditions with the community.” CMU is one of the few colleges nationally who still use a Native American name to represent their athletics.

EDITORIAL | Vigilantism and the limits of civil society Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Living in a bachelor society Many people think the reality television show “The Bachelor” is absurd and unrealistic, but it is actually a pretty accurate representation of today’s dating society. People question how someone can date 25 women or men at the same time, then pick one at the end to spend forever with. I’ll admit it’s not a concept I agree with, but it’s one that is becoming more apparent to me during my college experience of dating. I don’t know if it’s our society and my generation changing as a whole, becoming less romantic and more casual, or the fact that I am just a young college student. Either way, monogamy and respect are ceasing to exist. What happened to dating one person and focusing on just that relationship when you know it has the potential to be a serious one? Some people have this understanding that it’s acceptable to hook-up with many people at one time before officiating a relationship with one person. And the worst part is that one person or “sideliner” has no idea what’s going on. Since social media has made flirting with multiple people a little easier, it’s also become harder for people to know exactly what their status is in a relationship. The process of flirting, hooking up and dating is becoming so casual that now it’s just confusing. Some people selfishly use their charm through these outlets to get the best of both worlds for as long they can without a thought of a person’s feelings other than their own. Dating used to be distinguished from “going steady.” Now, it seems like there’s just one person calling the shots and one person being confused. It’s a constant game of ‘are we or aren’t we?’ and one person is trying to have both. Going on actual dates and building a relationship is becoming less important as hanging out turns into hooking up and nothing is really discussed anymore besides whether or not your relationship is a Facebook status. The way people can live with the guilt of playing the field when they’re already a potential partner to someone else disgusts me. We’re living in this society where people are only going to do what’s best for them at the time. They will talk a big game just to hold someone’s attention for the moment. Then when they get bored of pretending to be something they’re not, they return to their safe zone. People are growing around this unwarranted notion that it’s acceptable to pick out easy targets, mess with them and then cut it off and move on without warning. Anyone can date how they want, see who they want and even behave like players, but I’d like to see the amount of respect they’re left with if the reality of their game show aired.

Unsteady Ground

hen George Zimmerman pursued, shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on the night of Feb. 27 in Florida, he may have been motivated by race, but he was certainly protected by reckless legislation. The shooter, who served as a self-appointed armed watchman for the gated community where he and Martin’s father resided, called police when he became wary of Martin walking home from a convenience store. Zimmerman had been on edge for some time, reportedly having called police 46 times since Jan. 1, 2011 and warned neighbors to be on the lookout for young, black outsiders, possibly responsible for recent thefts in the area. Martin, of whom Zimmerman told police dispatchers “looks like he’s up to no good” before fatally shooting him, was actually neither an outsider nor committing any crime. He was returning from a convenience store, armed only with a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. According to transcripts of Zimmerman’s and other calls to both emergency and non-emergency dispatchers, Zimmerman pursued a running Martin, against the wishes of police, before an altercation broke out. Screams can be heard on the recorded calls, ending suddenly with the crack of a gunshot. Martin died at the scene.

The story should end there; an overly zealous man, obsessed with crime and law enforcement, appeared to have committed a senseless act of violence against a harmless teenager who did nothing more than walk on the sidewalk. In a civil society, law enforcement would take Zimmerman into custody to determine if he was, in fact, actually threatened. Instead, nearly a month later, Zimmerman remains a free man, though the case has been picked up for investigation from the Department of Justice. While there is much speculation as to whether or not race played a card in Zimmerman’s actions (almost certainly) or the lack of response from the police (debatable), it is clear that Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law had led to further grave injustice. The 2005 Florida law allows the use of deadly force in any situation in which a person feels threatened. Court rulings have set a precedent in which it now falls on the prosecution to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that persons acting in the way Zimmerman did were not acting in

self-defense. Such a heavy burden makes it seem likely that Zimmerman, at least for the moment, will be immune from any sort of prosecution. “Stand Your Ground” laws make it not only more likely for civilians to mete out justice as they see fit; it makes them more likely to lay down judgement in any situation. It allows people like Zimmerman, a criminal justice student and vigilante, the freedom to engage other civilians with firearms with far less discretion or oversight than we demand of our law enforcement officers. In pursuit of rights for gun owners, legislators in Florida and 15 other states, with more set to come, have abandoned a coherent rule of law. Suddenly bringing a gun to a fistfight is no longer aggressive but condoned. Recorded on the 911 call, Zimmerman tells the dispatcher that Martin is running before pursuing him. Zimmerman failed to stand his ground, instead choosing to chase and engage the teenager. Now an irresponsible piece of legislation may protect him from the due process Martin’s family deserves.

We must hold ourselves to higher standard in Afghanistan

On Sunday of last week, a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant by the name of Robert Bales allegedly went on a shooting rampage, killing 16 innocent Afghan civilians, including women and children. Ultimately, Bales is “innocent until proven guilty,” but the circumstances in this case seem pretty clear-cut. According to officials, Bales left his Army base in the early hours of Sunday, March 11 and shot civilians in a nearby village. The killings have been described as incredibly horrendous, with some victims being shot in the head and others being burned. Bales then returned to base, laid his weapons on the ground and raised his arms to surrender, saying, “I did it.” After being taken into custody, he detailed what he had just done. The investigation has since discovered Bales had previously suffered a head injury; however, the Army ruled he was still fit for service. The base where Bales was serving has also been accused of downgrading diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but as of yet, there are no links between those allegations and this case. Bales will be tried under U.S. military law, and many in Afghanistan are asking Bales be given the death penalty if convicted; however, there has not been a single U.S. military execution since 1961. Sadly, this case should probably break that trend. Bales is clearly a troubled individual, and he very well may be suffering from PTSD. What is also clear is that Sgt. Bales knew what he did was wrong—immediately after murdering innocent civilians, he came back to the base and turned himself in. That shows he understood the appalling crime he had just committed. If an Afghan soldier murdered innocent Americans, I can guarantee Americans would be up in arms to have that soldier executed. If America is to be a symbol of freedom and nobility to the world, we must hold our soldiers to a high standard, and the killing of innocent civilians must be punished to the harshest extent. Our military’s mental health standards should also be examined, and anyone found downgrading diagnoses of anxiety or mental disorders needs to be harshly punished. But while PTSD may have played a role in these killings, it is fairly clear Sgt. Bales knew what he was doing was wrong; and for that, he must be held to the high standard of our military.

Students scramble to solve shorts shortage ‘Vagina Monologues’ By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Are all the girls walking around campus in winter boots and shorts confused, or did they just forget pieces for their summer wardrobe? With temperatures hitting about 70 degrees Fahrenheit last week, people found themselves scrounging for what was missing from their closets for the summer heat. Target Store Team Leader Colleen Weber said bathing suits, shorts and lightweight T-shirts have been flying off the shelves. “It’s funny to watch everyone run into each other here,” she said. “It seems like everyone is out trying to find something to wear.” Although summer temperatures came early, Weber said that did not affect the stock of summer gear Target had set out for sale. “We had all of our summer

clothing out right after Christmas for spring break,” she said. “Headquarters is really good at timing for this.” A trip to Birch Run is being planned by Shelby Township junior Alicia Neverman, who said all of her summer clothes aren’t at school. “I’ve been wearing sundresses, because I have no shorts at all,” she said. Since sunshine replaced the usual snow on the ground in March, Neverman said she now needs to replace her boots with sandals. “I need wedges, and I need to go buy some flip flops with embellishments or bows because that’s more my style,” she said. Spring wear is also absent from Plymouth senior Caitlin Andrews’ wardrobe. “It was like winter a week ago, and I just thought we were going to get more snow because we always do in March,” she said. Now Andrews plans on going

“It’s always changing, and you never really know what you’re going to get,” Andrews said. “I’m just happy I found a pair of flip flops in my house.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Center for Charter Schools operations are funded through a threepercent oversight fee on state aid. The university does not provide any support for the center or its activities, and it remains fully

self-sufficient. With this selection process closing, new applications have been received for more charter schools to be opened down the road. As of the March 1 deadline, 50 new applicants are vying for the opportunity to work with the center on future projects. In December, Michigan legislators passed a bill that lifted a cap on the number of charter schools a university can have.

Some A-Senate members said in this meeting and previous meetings that the past four shared governance committees fizzled after a while because of the confusing charge of responsibility. Ross said the committee will open an avenue of dialogue for heads of the university’s political environment. “Ultimately, it’s (about) communicating all the time,” Ross said. “The point is, the major constituents are represented.” The 13-member committee, including two student representatives, two staff, four administration, four faculty and a board of trustees member, will begin sending surveys and listening to concerns.

It also voted to delete three programs, including the geology major and its hydrogeology-environmental concentration and the Master of Arts in health promotion and program management. Mahmood Bahaee, chairman of the management department, was nominated as a faculy senator on the Academic Planning Council. The other two faculty senator positions open for election received no nominations. Four openings in the Committee on Committees received no nominations. Three student positions and a College of Health Professions position remain left open. In a presentation, Athletics Director Dave Heeke pointed to the successes of the CMU athletics program, raising awareness of specific

strengths and weaknesses of the programs. He listed various athletics successes that CMU, since 1976, has led the Mid-American Conference with 110 conference championships. A-Senate members asked about the quality of academic resources available for student-athletes and why CMU is last in the MAC in scholarship money awarded to students. Derek van der Merwe, deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer, said the number of sports CMU has in comparison to other schools is among the variables that determines the amount of scholarship funding. university@cm-life.com

“We have a respectful relationship and rich history with the tribe. The university makes it a point to celebrate the Saginaw Tribe while educating our students to better understand their beliefs and history,” Weston said. “We are very pleased that the tribe allows us to associate their name with CMU Athletics and are proud to respect that tradition.” McCullough and St. Onge both said they believe it is important for students to learn more about the Chippewa name and culture. “So (that) students can better understand the people and to know that the Native American people are still here and are very relevant in today’s society,” McCullough said.

McCullough is also a member of the Hannahville Potawatomi Tribe. “On a more personal level, it’s just a time to be with family and friends; to enjoy our culture, to dance and to sing,” she said. Admission is open to the public. The cost for children (4 years and under), Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe members with I.D. and CMU students with I.D. is free.

Vaginas will be the talk of the town this weekend with the play “Vagina Monologues” coming to Central Michigan University for the first time in two years. The play is a collection of monologues that cover a variety of topics such as sexual pleasure, female empowerment and sexual abuse. Lansing senior and cast member Emily Nuss, who has never acted before, saw the play two years ago and decided to audition for this year’s production. The same script is used every year, except for the spotlight monologue, which highlights an issue faced the same year of a particular production. Nuss will be reading the spotlight monologue, which will discuss how women were affected by the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the sexual brutality women face in the Congo. “I’ve always been passionate about women’s issues. The ‘Vagina Monologues’ is so much more than a bunch of women complaining about their vaginas,” Nuss said. “It’s not anything overtly sexual. The vagina is just used as a symbol for women’s issues.” “The Vagina Monologues” will be held at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday. It will be shown again at 3 p.m. Sunday. Both days, the play will be held in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. The play is open to the

The addition will look similar to the existing building, he said. The planning commission will review the project, because a special use permit is needed with the project taking place in a residential zoned area, Gray said. Baumann said if the special use permit is approved and everything is in order, construction would hopefully start immediately. During phase one, nearby residents won’t see dust flying and hammers clinking in their neighborhood, Baumann said. “Residents are a top priority and this will give them a better environment for them to live in and rehabilitate in,” she said.

Co-directors and Kentwood seniors Jolie Masters and Jordan Wyer starred in the play two years ago and decided to bring it back to CMU. Masters said it could not be done last year because of financial complications. Masters and Wyer both said they hope there will be productions every year going forward. “A lot of times in the world, women are muted from talking about things that are sexual. The ‘Vagina Monologues’ made a way for making it okay for women to talk about issues that are often silenced,” Wyer said. The play first came into existence when New York journalist Eve Ensler interviewed hundreds of women about the experiences they’ve had with their vaginas. She turned the interviews into monologues, and thus “The Vagina Monologues” was born. Masters said while guys may not want to come because of fear of being the only man in the audience, hearing the perspectives of women from women can be beneficial to them. The ‘Vagina Monologues’ shouts loud and clear, ‘I’m a woman, I like sex, I like to be dirty sometimes, and that’s perfectly okay,’” Masters said.

Radcliff looking for more success during his senior season this fall By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

After posting back-toback 3-9 seasons as the starting quarterback at Central Michigan, senior Ryan Radcliff is ready to turn it around in 2012. He and the rest of the Chippewas returned to the practice field Tuesday afternoon to start the second week of spring practice for the first time in full pads. “Practice has been going well,” Radcliff said. “Lots of guys have been competing and showing up with good attitudes. Plus, the weather has been great so you can’t really complain.” Last season, Radcliff threw for 3,286 yards and 25 touchdowns while completing 57 percent of his passes. He also threw 16 interceptions and will look to improve upon those numbers next year. That process starts this spring and will continue once the Chippewas resume practice in the fall. “It’s kind of a challenge for him, because Ryan is trying to get better himself and lead our team; but at the same time, he’s helping other guys too. It really

“Ryan stepped up as a leader last year, and I think that got him a lot of respect from his teammates.” Dan Enos, head coach speaks to what kind of person he is,” head coach Dan Enos said. One of the ways Radcliff has shown leadership this spring has been to help some of the younger quarterbacks on the team, including redshirt freshman Alex Niznak and Cody Kater who had three years left of eligibility. “I’ve had some extra meetings with the younger quarterbacks on the team,” Radcliff said. “I try and be there if they need help or have any questions, but for the most part, they have been doing a really good job.” He was the captain last season and a likely candidate to be one again this fall. “He’s been doing a good job with the young guys; he knows what it’s like to be young, because he’s been there,” Enos said. This fall is Radcliff’s last chance to find success at CMU.

“This is my last go-around here at CMU,” he said. “I really want to succeed; we haven’t been doing that great the last two years with me as the starter. 3-9 isn’t acceptable, so this is my last chance to come out and put a good season together. I’m out here working to get better and to put together a championship season.” Radcliff is currently second in passing yards, completions, touchdown passes, total offense and 300-yard passing games in program history and third in passing attempts. Last season, he was 12 in the nation, throwing 279.8 yards a game. “Ryan stepped up as a leader last year, and I think that got him a lot of respect from his teammates,” Enos said. CMU has 10 more practices before its annual spring game at 2 p.m. on April 14 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. sports@cm-life.com

Athletics’ posterboy transfers in opposite fashion of arrival

hen Dan LeFevour graduated and went to the NFL, Central Michigan athletics lost its posterboy and star. Trey Zeigler was supposed to fill that void. CMU and Zeigler both signed a piece of paper that gave him a scholarship to play, and both sides seemed ecstatic. He was a four-star basketball prospect being recruited by the top teams in the country but decided to stay in Mount Pleasant and play for his dad. He instantly became the big man on campus and star of the team. With the football team faultering after LeFevour left, eyes were fixed on the opening of McGuirk Arena and star Trey Zeigler supposedly reviving the program. Two years later, he’s gone. Zeigler isn’t going early to the NBA, either; he’s transferring to another Division I college. He leaves without any Mid-American Conference

titles or Player of the Year awards. He leaves without the glamour of cutting down the nets or a standing ovation at senior day. He didn’t even leave with a winning record. With his signing-day press conference as high-profile as it was, his decision to leave comes quietly and under the radar. CMU granted his transfer request, and he’s done. He sent a tweet off Monday night saying CMU had a bright future, but he’s leaving. His last 10 seconds wearing the maroon and gold? He missed two foul shots as a CMU comeback against Toledo fell just short. Now he will look to see if those major conference schools are still interested in the third-team All-MAC player who will have to sit out a year and then only

have two years of eligibility remaining. Will Michigan head coach John Beilein still be interested like he was when Zeigler was a stud at Mount Pleasant High School? Will he look to the University of Detroit that made the NCAA tournament this year with a father-son coach-player combination that Trey once had? Tuesday night he tweeted out that he will be going to Duke on an official visit this weekend. Who knows where he will end up, but he’s no longer the posterboy for CMU. And it didn’t end like LeFevour who had a senior day, won the MAC and was then drafted in the NFL. It ends with Trey and CMU both signing a piece of paper that gives him permission to leave.

Ohio U making a name with Sweet 16

Baseball

“We feel we can compete with anyone in the country.” In 2010, 14-seeded Ohio upset Georgetown in the first round before losing to Tennessee. Coach John Groce hampered the hype this time, collecting players’ cell phones the night after beating Michigan. “Two years ago, I thought it got crazy after we won,” he said. “I told them they probably wouldn’t like me for doing it, but they’d thank me in 10 years.” The genesis of the rising can be traced to 2008, when Groce earned his first head coaching job after years as an assistant. His vision of building Ohio into a “program” went into full effect when he signed players such as Cooper out of Chicago’s Seton Academy. Cooper heard other coaches - such as Baylor’s and California’s - tell him he was going to help them build something special, but Cooper believed Groce. “He cared more than just about basketball,” Cooper said.

Tyler Hall returns as Chippewas squeeze past Northwood, 4-3 Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

After dropping its last two games, the Central Michigan baseball team got back on track Tuesday with a 4-3 win against Northwood University at Theunissen Stadium. The Chippewas (9-12) played their final non-conference game in front of 537 fans before starting Mid-American Conference play Friday. CMU also welcomed back senior Tyler Hall, who has been out with an injury. “It felt good (getting back in the lineup). I got that first hit out of the way, and I felt comfortable,” Hall said after going 1-for4 at the plate. “It’ll be slow process getting back into the grove, but I’m looking forward to it.” CMU saw its offensive outburst from the weekend continue in the first inning when it plated four runs behind a tworun RBI single from senior leftfielder Sam Russell and sacrifice RBI from junior designated hitter Jordan Adams. CMU scored when Northwood catcher Ryan Palmer failed to touch the plate with the bases loaded after senior first baseman Nate Theunissen’s swinging bunt was fielded by the pitcher. “It won the game for us it was the only four runs we scored,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “We did jump on them early, but three of our five hits came in the first inning. I thought we had a few good at-bats and didn’t get anything for it, but that is going to happen in the game of baseball.” Freshman pitcher Matt Trowbridge remained unbeaten on the season by going five-plus innings, allowing one runs and just two hits with six strikeouts, improving his record to 3-0. “(Trowbridge) was effectively wild, you could say; he had some really good stuff,” Jaksa

Senior Ryan Longstreth pitches against Northwood Tuesday. He pitched his way out of a basesloaded jam in relief for freshman pitcher Matt Trowbridge.

said. “When he had command, they only got one hit. He can battle, and he’ll get better under Jeff (Opalewski) tutelage.” Senior pitcher Ryan Longstreth saved Trowbridge and his team in the sixth after the freshman exited with the bases loaded and nobody out. Longstreth forced a doubleplay and grounder to first base to get out of the inning only allowing one run. “We had planned to use (Longstreth) today, and we were pleased,” Jaksa said. “He’s a senior, and I think he understands the importance of each game.” The Chippewas bats did quiet down a bit after the first, as they failed to score another run

the rest of the game, but strong fielding helped them maintain the lead and take the win. “With the bases loaded in the second inning, (senior third baseman Eric Wrozek) made a great play,” Jaksa said. “That was a key play with two outs and bases loaded. We talk about two out hits all the time, and at the end day, we win 4-3.” CMU will be back home Friday at 3:05 p.m. as it opens up MAC play against Buffalo (6-9). “Our main focus right now is the MAC Tournament and winning the games up to that,” Hall said. “Once we get there, our main focus will be winning that.” sports@cm-life.com

Ohio University students used to party just for the sake of a good time. Now they have an actual reason. Known for its Princeton review rating as the nation’s No. 1 party school, the Mid-American Conference school is now earning a buzz for being in the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16. “We’re a lot more than a party school,” senior retail management major Katherine Kenner said. They’re this season’s Cinderella, eager to become a basketball king. No. 13 Ohio, the lowest remaining seed, is out to make a name for itself in its first regional semifinal since 1964 when it faces top-seeded North Carolina on Friday in St. Louis. “We’re not happy just to win one game,” said junior point guard D.J. Cooper, who scored 21 points against Michigan and 19 against South Florida.

“He cared about my development as a person.” The two had tug of wars over Cooper’s gunslinger style, but Groce said he learned giving Cooper freedom works. He’s willing to live with nine good shots if it means one “crazy” shot. “I tell him he has the guts of a burglar,” said Groce, who has former DePaul assistant Ramon Williams on his staff. “I balance that with him.” Likewise, Cooper has learned restraint. He shoots just 35.7 percent but leads the team with 14.9 points and 5.7 assists per game. “Sometimes I try to make the home-run play,” he said. “But I’ve learned when it’s OK to take a certain shot.” Junior guard Walter Offutt, a transfer from Ohio State and Wright State, forward Reggie Keely and forward Ivo Baltic helped the Bobcats win the MAC tournament with a onepoint win against Akron after a successful 13-3 conference season.

McDonald’s, Walmart top some students list of disastrous dates By Jessica Fecteau | Senior Reporter

Going on a first date can be the start of a great relationship or the beginning to the end of one. There’s no explanation needed as to why Laura Stoeckle’s first date was the last one with a guy she liked. “One guy took me to Walmart to help him pick out a gift for his godson, and then we went to McDonald’s for flurries,” the Bay Port senior said. “I just went along with it hoping that he had a surprise or it would get better … but it never did.” movie theatre. “It was so awkward,” she said. A little car trouble almost left Macomb sophomore Ross Moceri and his date eating dinner at home instead of going out. “She was over and we went out to start my car, and my ignition cylinder failed, so my key was stuck in the ignition and it wouldn’t turn or come out,” he said. Although he said he felt a little embarrassed, he used his mom’s car as backup.

Troy junior Sienna Violett said her luck with dating wasn’t much better when the guy she went out with made some future plans on day one. “He drove an hour to my house to take me out, and he said if we ever dated that I would have to constantly reassure him that he’s a good person and that I like him,” Violett said. The date continued with constant hand-holding and even a backrub attempt from him in the

“I realized my mom’s car is a lot better than mine anyways, so I didn’t really mind it too much,” he said. Every ex-boyfriend or date that never works out has achieved a nickname for senior Jason Gagnon. “Every nickname correlates to why I should never date them again,” the Mount Pleasant native said. “And they’re all part of a club called the ‘Pickle of the Month Club.’” A dates | 2b

A fairy tale in the making Student courts fiancé with crayoned story By Tony Wittkowski | Staff Reporter

ABOVE: Woodland senior Jamie Emmons poses with her fiance Napoleon resident Daniel Eads Sunday afternoon in the Woldt courtyard. Eads proposed earlier this January by creating a 94-page crayon illustrated book about their experiences together, with the last page illustrating a fairy-tale story of them spending their lives together.

ABOVE: Mia Ahilty, 6, of Mount Pleasant tries to feed Kyle Ferden, 9, ice cream at Kaya Coffee and Tea Co., while Kyle texts friends and other girls during their date.

Whenever Jamie Emmons works at the desk in the Fabiano/Emmons/Woldt lobby, any passerby will get a ‘good morning’ accompanied with a smile. These days, the Woodland senior has a lot more to smile about than usual. Throughout college, Emmons regularly attended spiritual life retreats, which were a way to get away from campus, dig deeper into faith and relax. In her sophomore year at Spring Arbor University, Emmons met her fiancé Daniel Eads on one of those retreats. “One of my friends introduced me to him,” Emmons said. “I didn’t know what to think of him; we were both awkward.” Their first date was baking bread and apple butter, which were both his recipes. “She seemed really quiet and studious,” Eads said. Then a month after meeting him, Emmons left Spring Arbor for a new major in Communication Disorders at Central Michigan University. Two hours away from each other, the two remained long distance friends and didn’t get to know each other until they were apart, Emmons said. They continued to exchange calls and visited one another from time to time. “I think we both kind of liked each other but didn’t want to say anything,” Emmons said. “He didn’t want to make any moves until he knew I was someone he would want to marry.” After dating for nine

months, the couple went on a winter retreat in Northern Michigan, where Eads had other plans. Leading up to the retreat, Daniel met with Emmons’ parents for lunch in Lansing, where he asked for permission to marry their daughter. “We were really pleased with Daniel and how he asked us first,” said Jamie’s mother Loretta. “He had written us months ago by letter asking if he could pursue her. When he called to have coffee, I kind of got an idea why we were there.” Her parents were so happy about it, they gave advice to Eads for another hour, pausing momentarily to feed money into the meter outside the restaurant. Emmons said she was only expecting to have fun and relax on this retreat. “I was reading a magazine when he said ‘That’s boring and handed me this book,” Emmons said. “And it was basi-

cally a fairy tale about our lives together. It talked about him inviting me to lasagna for the first time, and I didn’t show up.” The beginning of the 94-page book started off with, “Once Upon a Time…” “I had it in my head that I wanted to make it for a couple of months,” Eads said. “I ended up making it a week and a half before I proposed.” From there, it was a lot of sleepless nights working on the book, binding the spine, writing and drawing up pages of memories. With perfect memory, Emmons recited the last line of the book word-for-word. “Little did she know that in the wintery wonderland of the north that he would ask her if their own love story could enfold forever.” Above this passage was a red arrow drawn pointing off the page.

Advice column

What to do if you have become the other woman Jordan Spence Staff Reporter “I’m interested in a guy I have a class with, and I think he’s into me as well, but I don’t know whether or not I should pursue the relationship. Because if it does not work, I will have to see him in class a few times a week.” Since the feeling between

you two is mutual, go for it. Yes, maybe you two go out and then he spends the date talking about “World of Warcraft” and picks his teeth; so what? Everyone has bad dates, and it may get uncomfortable to have to face him in class, but that’s the risk you have to take. What if you go out and it’s great, and the relationship turns into something wonderful? It’s those relationships that are worth the possibility of a bad date. Sometimes when you go out with a guy and there isn’t chemistry, he can still be a good friend.

If the date goes badly, class with him will only be weird if you guys make it that way — show up, be polite and friendly. You don’t have to be best friends, but there’s no reason to feel uncomfortable. Uncomfortable dates happen to everyone all the time. But good dates that cause butterflies do not. “What do I do if I could be considered the ‘other woman?’ I knew this guy before he got into his new relationship, and now I’ve met his new girlfriend and she seems nice. We tried not to sleep together but did one drunken night. Because we have

a large group of mutual friends, I don’t know how to end it, and he has said he’s unhappy in their relationship. What do I do?” Now that you’ve met her and she seems nice, and you’re able to make that assessment for yourself, this guys sounds more like a piece of crap to me. Up until the point of you meeting her, you only knew what he told you about their relationship; so take everything he says with a grain of salt. Guys have a tendency to describe girls as “crazy,” and we need to stop letting them get away with that. Yes, there are some crazy women out there,

but the majority of the time women are simply reacting to bad treatment from men. So in order to write off their bad behavior, men call some women “crazy” or describe their relationships as negative. If he is unhappy, he should break up with this girl before he even considers jumping into anything with you. It isn’t fair to his current girlfriend or you at all. So if he finally decides to leave this girl and be with you, then what? Now you’ve started a relationship on the wrong foot. If he did this to one girl, why wouldn’t he treat you the

same as well? This guy sounds like a selfish jerk who is only in an unhappy relationship because he’s too lazy to deal with a breakup. Why would you want to be with someone like that? Be polite and friendly to him around your mutual friends, but try not to get alone with him. Find someone that is able to give you the full attention you deserve and not just consider you some drunken hookup.

When Emmons looked down, Eads was on one knee with a ring in his hand. “I was excited,” Emmons said. “It felt like a dream the whole time I was reading the book.” Emmon’s return to CMU was filled with joy and the anticipation of marriage. “After that, I couldn’t really pay attention to school work for the next week,” she said. “I started making lists for the wedding and other things.”

My best friend’s dad and another one of my really great friends, a German guy who pulls off weird vinyl-ish shirt material, are both named Leo. They also have spectacular chest hair. So, why not date a Leo? If they’re a Leo named Leo, get married immediately. You have no time to waste. That’s good advice, right?

I have never trusted any women who ride horses. I think horses are incredible, majestic beasts, and I was jealous of their horsemastery, but it always seemed like horsegirls (as I called them) had spent a little too much time talking (and listening?) to the horses and not enough time with humans. I couldn’t ever quite trust them. But I could feed them carrots. That was fun.

I went on a third date with someone I really liked last year, and halfway through our dinner of pretty great Chinese food she said, “Why are we always getting ethnic food? First sushi, then Italian, then this?” Who doesn’t like ethnic foods? Those are the best kinds of foods. She’s right; we should have had exciting frozen TV tray dinners of salisbury steak with a side of meat loaf while watching “Two and a Half Men” and occasionally forgetting we’re not already dead.

Hannibal Steve, Princess Edgar and Professor Snape all earned their nicknames from Gagnon for doing really strange things on dates, he said. The night before his blind date with Hannibal Steve, Gagnon said he was called and told to make sure his hair was washed, clean and had no hair products in it. “I called my friends after and they’re like ‘Please God, don’t do it. You’re going to get like scalped and then your hair will be sewn on to a human hair coat, and your body is going to end up in a river,’” he said. As a self-described curious person, Gagnon went through with the date, though he didn’t exactly follow the requests. “I put so much hairspray in, it was like garlic to a vampire,” he said.

Residence Life to host pageant crowning most talented students By Octavia Carson Staff Reporter

Rock band Fun. featuring CMU alumnus hits super-stardom By Sean Bradley Staff Reporter

The rock band, Fun., featuring Central Michigan University alumnus Andrew Dost, continues to have success after the band’s single “We Are Young,” which has reached and stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Dost, who graduated from Central Michigan in 2005 with a degree in advertising, got his start as a musician by joining Mount Pleasant band Anathallo in 2004. “That was my first real experience touring and writing,” he said. With Dost as a member of Anathallo, the band played many U.S. tours, played in Europe and Japan and even at the Coachella Valley Arts and Music festival in 2007. With Anathallo, he played many shows in the Mount Pleasant area.

“There wasn’t really any bands that sounded like each other,” he said. “There was a lot of creativity.” He lived in Larzelere Hall during his first couple years at CMU, starting in 2001. “I would say one of my favorite things about CMU was, the first time in my life, that I had met my friends,” he said. “It was a place to meet lifelong friends.” Fun.’s current single, “We Are Young,” has risen the band to new heights. It was featured in a Super Bowl ad for Chevrolet this year and was featured on “Glee” in December 2011. Dost said the band is always setting new goals after others have been achieved. “Any time we have a goal, we want to out-do it,” he said. “Part of pushing ourselves means that we’re always looking for new goals to achieve.” Former Anathallo band member Daniel Bracken said he’s happy for Dost and the other mem-

bers of Fun.’s continued success. “It’s really exciting to see that he can do what he loves and have success with it,” Bracken said. “They’ve all been working super hard for years at making music.” Bracken said although Anathallo and Fun. have different sounds, it was a good choice for Dost to make to join the band. “Obviously, they’re pretty different musically, but I think it’s a great fit for Andrew,” he said. “It makes a lot of sense.” Chesaning junior Tyler Dangel said Dost’s success benefits CMU’s image. “I think it’s great that he’s on that international level, and it can only represent our school in a positive way,” he said. Dangel downloaded the song via iTunes after learning about the song from a neighbor. “Everywhere I’d go around campus, you’d hear it played, and it kind of exploded,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Movie Review

‘21 Jump Street’ retro, comedic By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

‘21 Jump Street’

Television shows from the ‘80s being resurrected on the big screen certainly isn’t a new concept for Hollywood, so it isn’t incredibly surprising “21 Jump Street” was made. On the other hand, it didn’t seem like there were legions of fans clamoring for a remake of the show. Despite the lack of demand, it’s a good thing someone thought making it would be a good idea, because the result is a simultaneously goofy and clever comedy that manages to stay consistently funny from beginning to end. The movie stars Jonah Hill as Schmidt and Channing Tatum as Jenko, two police officers tasked with going undercover at a high school in order to find out who has been supplying a new type of drug to the students. The film doesn’t waste very much time setting up its premise; it shows what the

HHHHH w Genre: Comedy w Rating: R w Score: 5 out of 5 two characters were like when they were in high school, their time training to become police officers and how they ultimately became friends in a relatively short time frame. It’s quick, humorous, gets audiences acquainted with the characters and then dives into their time as cops. Hill and Tatum both do a great job throughout the film. Doing comedies is squarely within Hill’s comfort zone, so it shouldn’t be surprising to hear he doesn’t have any problems being funny. Tatum, on the other hand, is usually associated with more dramatic roles, but he is able to stick with Hill from the start and deliver just as many laughs. While the storyline and

character development aren’t the main draws of “21 Jump Street,” the film does a nice job of building up enough of a connection between the audience and the main characters that when things take a slightly more dramatic turn, the audience actually cares. Another great aspect of the film is that everyone pulls their comedic weight, regardless of how big or small their role is. Rob Riggle, Ice Cube, Chris Parnell and Nick Offerman are just a few examples of actors who make the best out of their limited time on screen, which goes a long way in making sure audiences don’t have to go very long before laughing again. The humor of “21 Jump Street” manages to be goofy, self-referential and vulgar without ever feeling hokey, and most importantly, it offers audiences a fun and hilarious two hours at the movies. studentlife@cm-life.com

throughout the pageant. “We will also have gift baskets and other packages put together from many local businesses and other sponsors to be won through silent auction and raffle methods,” Morneau said. The proceeds will benefit

Book Review

CMU alumnus, best friend write book together

Time Traveler’s Guide to Time a temporal treat

Novel to be released on April 3 By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

Authoring a book is not what one thinks of as a typical best friend activity. Yet that’s what Central Michigan University graduate Phil Hornshaw and Michigan State University graduate Nick Hurwitch did. Their book, “So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler’s Guide to Time Travel,” is being published by Berkley Books, an imprint of Penguin, and will come out April 3. “It’s an idea we came up with a few years ago after watching some really badtime travel movies,” Hornshaw said. The two, originally from Novi, have been friends since third grade, Hornshaw said. They were editors-in-chief of their highschool newspaper together and have been writing together for a long time. Their first attempt at a novel was when they were 13 or 14, but Hornshaw said it was mostly ripped off from the video game “Final Fantasy VII.” “We’re long-time nerds,” Hurwitch said. Hornshaw is a former Central Michigan Life managing editor and graduated in December 2008. “We conceived of it in, like, October 2009,” Hurwitch said. “Phil was still in Michigan, and I had been in Los Angeles for under a year, and we were just talking about all the mistakes made

Time: the final (first?) frontier. That temporal thread which double stitches us all to a one-way hem from the birth canal to the mortuary slab is not the sort of thing that seems to beg for a satirical guidebook treatment. Fortunately, authors Phil Hornshaw and Nick Hurwitch had a nigh-inexhaustible supply of geeky fun from all frequencies of the science-to-fiction spectrum when they took on “So You Created a Wormhole: The Time Traveler’s Guide to Time Travel.” The book is set up as a sort of crash course for prospective time travelers, preparing them for the great difficulties they will encounter not only in establishing temporal dislocation but also in surviving for more than a few moments in hostile historical environments. That includes riding dinosaurs whenever possible. Tongue-in-cheek textbooks are a genre of their own these days, and readers of semi-scientific staples such as “America ( The Book)” and “The Zombie Survival Guide” will know roughly what they’re getting into. The guide cites Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Stephen Hawking with equal reverence as the likes of “Back to the Future’s” Doc Brown and “Doctor Who’s” Doctor. And a few characters who aren’t doctors, too. The guide’s best moments come when it casually blends science with fiction, such as when quintessential quantum theories and perplexing paradoxes are distilled into more accessible nuggets of wisdom involving DeLoreans and quaint terms like “grandpappycide.” While it covers substantial territory and some concepts legitimate both in current scientific discussion and potential to flummox, the guide maintains a breezy tone and is mercifully playful with the head-scratching quandaries that are its main fare. For maximum pleasure, it helps to be familiar with far-flung fiction such as “Alien,” “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” “Lord of the Rings,” “Army of Darkness,” “Indiana Jones,” “StarCraft,” “Warhammer 40,000,” “Firefly” and many others, all of which come up within the space of a few chapters. Hornshaw and Hurwitch are very upfront about their intended audience, but in parts they lean too heavily on outside material. The aforementioned inexhaustible well of references is a bit bloated on the popular sci-fi side, filling chapters on the ro-

in time-travel movies, and how no one gets it right.” Once Hornshaw moved to Los Angeles, the writing began. Hornshaw said there was plenty of research done about how to write a non-fiction book. They wrote a sample chapter and made a proposal before finding an agent and getting a contract with a publisher. The actual writing, Hornshaw said, started in November and ended in April of last year. “Basically it’s divided into two halves. The first half is like a textbook that puts into lay terms the science of time-travel movies; think of “Back to the Future” and the “Terminator” and stuff like that, and we sort of explain things like relativity and quantum mechanics as best we can. And then the back half is sort of an era-by-era survival guide. So we do ancient Egypt and the future robot uprising and stuff like that,” Hornshaw said. The book is humorous and is considered a popculture book, rather than a hard sciences book, Hurwitch said. “Even though it’s written for a time traveler, as though time travel is real, it doesn’t take itself seriously. In the sciences, it’s loose at best,” Hurwitch said. After six months of hard writing and an even longer period of revisions and looking at layouts and illustrations, Hornshaw said it was great to see an actual printed copy of the book. “It made my fiancé cry,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

‘Time traveler’s guide to time travel’

HHHHH w Genre: Humor w Publication date: April 3 w Score: 4 out of 5 bot apocalypse and dawn of interstellar travel with exhaustive lists of characters, tropes and concepts lifted — clearly with love — from all kinds of places, which become, well, exhausting. While the bizarre consequences of time travel can make logic a bit fuzzy, the book’s descriptions of various eras become downright woolly in parts, using some sci-fi bits at their face value while shrugging off others. It seems the eponymous molten-metal robot from “Terminator 2” is a reasonable element to insert into a more generic robot uprising, whereas Klingon is just a pejorative term for an alien species that looks a lot like Klingons from “Star Trek,” but they get mad if you call them that. I don’t know; I’m not a time traveler. Despite a few sections wherein pop-culture geekdom reigns overly supreme, “So You Created a Wormhole” is a worthwhile book from two young authors who have clearly demonstrated their potential. It competently uses a head-spinningly complex concept as a vehicle for a humorous and thought-provoking ride, which readers don’t have to be total geeks to enjoy, though it does help. Don’t leave your epoch without it.

MUNCHIES IN MINUTES: Wrap & Roll

Lonnie Allen Staff Reporter Spring is in the air, and when I cook up some delicious munchies to handle my appetite on warm days, I think fresh, light and flavorful. I like a bold flavor when I’m enjoying my munchies, and my chicken border wrap meets that requirement. Now, I have had wraps at the only legal joint in town (Menna’s Joint, 1418 S. Mission St.), and they are delicious, but why pay that amount of money

when I have a simple wrap recipe that will satisfy the munchies? A wrap is a sort of sandwich made of a soft flatbread rolled up around a meat or veggie filling. The usual flatbreads are wheatflour tortillas, lavash or pita, and the filling usually consists of sliced meats, poultry or fish, usually topped with lettuce, diced tomato or pico de gallo, avocado, sautéed mushrooms, bacon, grilled onions, cheeses and a sauce such as mayo, ranch or honey mustard. I began my wrapping adventures in California while working for one of those fancy department store restaurants. At first, I wasn’t able to grasp the rolling, but as time went on, I began to roll like a pro. Wraps are simple, and

His House Christian Fellowship to host Worship at Wayside event Thursday By Paulina Lee Staff Reporter

For some college students, going to church may be an uncomfortable experience, so His House Christian Fellowship has decided to bring religion to the dance club. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Wayside Central, 2000 S. Mission St., the church will lead services at a new event called “Worship at Wayside.” Dave Shephard, associate campus minister and head of Creative Arts and Programming for His House, 211 W. Broomfield St., said he hopes their newest event will make a positive difference in the lives of many people. Shephard said the lighting, music and atmosphere will feel just like it does on any other night at the Wayside. “The only difference is we will be turning the focus to God and the love and truth He shares with us through scripture. Our Worship at

the Wayside event will feature live music, rap and dance,” he said. Currently, His House holds their Thursday night worship at 7:30 p.m. at Platcha Auditorium weekly. The one-time event at Wayside evolved from the church brainstorming ways they could expand their outreach on campus. These services are “designed to creatively reach college students with the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ,” Shephard said. “We are consistently seeking out new ways that we can share the love of Christ on CMU’s campus and around this community, and we thought that this would be a great opportunity to do that,” Shephard said. When he first heard about a church event taking place at a facility that serves alcohol, “I was confused at first to say the least,” said Adam Lynch, a junior from Gaylord and a His House member. But Lynch said he now supports the event and will be

attending on Thursday. “It’s good to know that religion can take place anywhere; it doesn’t have to just be in church. That’s one thing this shows is that it can take place anywhere, whether it’s at a bar or a church,” Lynch said. “Different,” said Hanover sophomore Rosemary Wendt upon first hearing about the event. But Wendt said it’s not the place that keeps her from going to the Thursday worships. “I’d go either way, whether it was at Wayside or not. I just don’t have the time,” Wendt said. The idea of worshiping in a club or bar may seem strange, but Shephard said the idea was well-received by the owner of Wayside. “He is excited to host our event, and we are excited to be there,” Shephard said. “This is an opportunity that we hope to pursue again in the near future.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant Guide

Stan’s | 220 E. Broadway St. Jeff Ketcham Staff Reporter Back in my freshman year, I remember how big of a deal it was when my friends and I trekked out to the casino for a night. Four years later, I feel like Mount Pleasant has shrunk greatly, but I often find that isn’t a bad thing. I’ve explored Mount Pleasant in its entirety and discovered the city was filled with small, local businesses and restaurants that seem to slide under the radar of the typical student. So join me for a newcomer’s guide to Mount Pleasant. The Broadway Theatre in downtown Mount Pleasant immediately catches the eyes of passersby, but what may not stand out at first glance is the small diner in the shadow of the theater; Stan’s.

Stan’s is a community diner. The names and logos of local businesses are framed on the walls, advertised on the place mats and printed on the coffee cups. Each booth in Stan’s has a different black and white photo framed on the wall showing an image of 1800s Mount Pleasant. Stan’s offers sandwiches and burgers, but what they really do well is breakfast. They make a variety of omelets and do not skimp on filling your plate with eggs, hash, and bacon. Stan’s also serves homemade wheat and white toast with meals. The average meal at Stan’s is going to run between $5 and $7, and portions are reasonably big, so leftovers are common. One thing to keep in mind when deciding on

Stan’s, however, is that they take cash only, which can sometimes be a hassle. As far as service goes, the wait staff at Stan’s is quick and reliable. Even with every seat full last Sunday morning, I was seated almost immediately. My waitress brought coffee immediately after I ordered it, and my meal arrived promptly. Despite the fact that Stan’s was completely full that morning, I did not feel the wait staff was overworked or my service was suffering because of it. There is nowhere in Mount Pleasant I would recommend more for breakfast than Stan’s. If you live on campus, the downtown area may seem like a little bit of a hike, but it’s completely worth the trip. metro@cm-life.com

wraps also make for a great choice. Heat the toaster oven to broil, or heat the grill or broiler to medium/high. Generously salt and red pepper both sides of the chicken tenderloins. Place onto the oven pan or grill, and cook each side for about five minutes. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and let them sit for at least five minutes. This keeps the juices in. Now cut chicken into slices and set aside. Take out the tortillas andspread lightly with chipotle dressing. Place lettuce first, then chicken, tomato, onion and cheese into each tortilla and fold in the sides, and wrap it up so it looks like a burrito, ends closed. Slice and serve. It’s simple and done in minutes.

Video Game Review

‘Mass Effect 3’ maintains storytelling excellence, improves combat By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

“Mass Effect 3” has some pretty massive expectations to contend with. The previous games have gained a following of devoted fans who are deeply entrenched within the rich fiction present in the “Mass Effect” universe, and it would be impossible to please every single one of them. Thankfully, the developers at BioWare have crafted a wonderful experience that will live up to the lofty expectations set by many fans of the series, though it is not completely devoid of the occasional blemish. Like the two games that came before it, the most interesting thing about “Mass Effect 3” is the huge story that spans across the entire galaxy. The story as a whole is fantastic. The series’ trademark of taking choices the player

made in previous games and having them affect events in the current game has returned, so the story could vary slightly for different players, but in general, the story is really engaging and motivating, especially for players who have seen everything unfold from the very beginning. The staggering amount of detail to be found in the “Mass Effect” universe really helps fill out the story. It only takes a quick look at the game’s codex to see just how much thought has been put into every alien race and the politics, culture and events that have shaped them. The detail gives the story and character interactions a complexity and depth seldom found in video games. Players new to the series will still have a good time, but the events that unfold involving characters from past games will likely fall flat since there won’t be much reason for new players to care about

what happens to them. For fans of the series, seeing old friends and teammates will be an absolute treat. The game is crammed full of fan service and is surprising at times in its effectiveness at evoking an emotional response from the player. The very end may be a sore spot for some, but the rest of the game is just too fun to ignore. The combat is greatly improved this time as well, so players won’t be trying to rush through the shooting parts just to get to the story. It isn’t the best third-person shooter on the market, but the combat is at

least good enough this time to support a surprisingly addictive cooperative multiplayer mode where players work together to

defeat 10 waves of enemies. Overall, “Mass Effect 3” gives fans a fantastic story to play through with combat

that is actually fun this time around. studentlife@cm-life.com
