Swim, dive club propose women’s varsity team Rose pool would need renovation to be usable By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

With a full report due in mid-May on which women’s sport Central Michigan University plans to add, the Swim and Dive Club hopes to convince university officials that a swim and dive team is the way to go. Since early December, Fenton senior and Swim and Dive Club President Eric Murray and Lansing freshman and club member Corey Rubino have been working on a proposal outlining the benefits of a women’s varsity swim and dive team. However, to accommodate a swim and dive team, the Rose Natatorium in the Student Activity Center would need to be remodeled because it does not meet the National Collegiate Athletic Association standard, according to pool guidelines listed on the NCAA website. The pool violates rules regarding starting blocks and depth. “The Rose pool is not up to NCAA standards,” Assistant Director of Aquatics and Safety Ira Wrestler told Central Michigan Life in December. “It needs to be deeper (in order to) dive from starting blocks and remain a consistent depth through the entire lane.” According to a January CM Life article, CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke said a swimming team would require a brand new facility, costing upward of $20 million. Murray and Rubino have addressed the need for a new pool, even making the plea before the board of trustees Thursday, and a majority of their proposal includes the benefits CMU would gain from building a new aquatic center.

Zombies invade campus for Special Olympics fundraiser By Jeff Ketcham Staff Reporter

JeFF keTCHaM/stAff photogrApher

Holt junior Heather Allen puts on the finishing touches to make New Boston senior Dan Stocking a zombie prior to Friday’s Survive Mount Pleasant event.

The undead roamed the campus of Central Michigan University Friday as part of the Survive Mount Pleasant Zombie Run. The event raised money for Special Olympics as runners had to make their way through campus from check point to check point while being chased by zombies. Prizes where awarded to the zombie with the most ‘bites’ or tags and to the top three runners. “I can run as fast as I want; this is ‘28 Days Later’ rage virus zombies,” said Kyle Hallman, a Traverse City sophomore. Runners were given clues as

to where the checkpoints were, but not all clues where accurate. After making it to two of the three checkpoints, runners could head to the final checkpoint, ending the run. Zombies where not given any information about checkpoints. “I have no idea where the checkpoints are. The only checkpoint I know is the final checkpoint and other than that, the clues, as far as I know, are going to be really ambiguous and we are going to have to try and find it as we run,” said Ian Wolf, a Traverse City senior. All the proceeds from Survive Mount Pleasant went toward Special Olympics Michigan.

“The money will provide opportunities for athletes to participate in year-round training and competition and experience acceptance, inclusion, unity, respect, friendship and joy,” said Erin Dougherty, a SOMI representative working with Survive Mount Pleasant. Hallman said he hopes the event happens again. “I really hope that this can be a recurring event and that we get to do this every year and it just gets bigger and bigger, because I would really love to see 200 runners and like 300 zombies so the entire campus is just crawling with zombies,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

“We outlined issues we’d be facing in terms of adding a new pool,” Murray said. “We proposed ideas regarding advertising, hosting events such as high school state championships and state qualification meets, and the possibility of use by Special Olympics. Additionally, physical therapy students and even hospitals could use the pool for therapeutic purposes. It’d be benefitting more than just the swimming team.” Rubino said he and Murray have had numerous meetings with various members of the athletics department, including Deputy Director of Athletics Derek van der Merwe, and will be presenting their proposal on Friday in front of the executive committee in charge of determining which varsity team will be added. “We’ll be presenting our proposal for the committee,” Rubino said. “It shows how much of an interest there is in swimming and diving on campus and we’re going to be showing them how a new pool would be beneficial.” Comparisons to other colleg-

Additionally, there are nine current swim and dive teams in the MAC conference,” Murray said. CMU swim and dive team alumni have been contacted regarding the project, and Murray said they are willing to help out. “We once did have a swim team and we have alumni that are more than willing to help us out. I hope to someday come back to something that I helped create and that’s just a feeling that I will always be happy with,” he said. Rubino said the history of CMU swimming as well as his love for the sport has fueled his desire to see a women’s varsity swimming and diving team on campus. “I have a true love for the sport,” he said. “I love doing it and I’d always heard stories about CMU being a big place for swim and dive in the past, so for me personally it’d be cool to say I have had a part in bringing that legacy back or starting to bring it back.”

“It was a great moment,” he said about hearing the congratulations as he walked down the stage. “We put countless hours into this collection and I wanted to make sure the collection was as impeccable as I could make it.” In addition to individual awards, multiple “designer of the year” awards were given out. Winners included Saline sophomore Kristine Opaleski, Clio junior Ashley Hetzer and graduate student Hae Joo Lee. An opportunity to work

with Project Runway contestant Johnathan Kayne was awarded to Romeo senior Justine Young. Kayne personally selected Young as someone he would like to work with based on her collection. Either her current design will be produced in his line or she will be collaborating with the designer himself. “I am beyond excited,” she said. “It is a huge honor to be chosen by an industry designer and professional who recognized my potential and would want to work with me.” First-time designer Kayla Ingersoll used her love of art history to inspire her Ancient Egypt designs.

“I took inspiration historically how Egypt had an upper and lower Egypt and one had a white crown and one had a red crown,” the Shepherd senior said. “And when they united together, I wanted to show that in my designs by using red and white and putting them together.” Auburn Hills residents Mary and Dan Wolenberg attended in support of their daughter, senior Natalie Wolenberg, “We’re just hoping there’s a job all at the end of this,” Dan Wolenberg said. “At the very end, somebody stands up and says they all have jobs.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Greek Week to raise money for Logan MacGregor By Paulina Lee Staff Reporter

This week kicks off the annual Greek Week when fraternities and sororities unite for a week full of events and to raise money for charity. This year, proceeds will be donated to help local 13-yearold leukemia patient Logan MacGregor. “We wanted to directly impact someone here locally on Central’s campus,” said Jesse Pifko, Interfraternity Council vice president of public relations. “We found out about Logan’s diagnosis, and we really didn’t think there was any better way we could make a direct impact than by choosing him.” Pifko said a total of 11 sororities and eight fraternities are participating this year, as Delta Chi was recently suspended. “Greek Week is a time (when) all social fraternities and sororities at CMU are paired together into teams of 2 or 3 to compete,” said Rockwood sophomore Jeremy Osborne of Pi Kappa Phi. These teams are then awarded points for attendance, how well they do and the amount of money raised through penny wars. To start the week, Lori Hart

will give a presentation in Warriner Hall’s Platcha Auditorium on Monday. “Lori Hart talks a lot about the dynamics of fraternities and societies,” said Pifko, a Warren junior. “Also, she talks a lot about recruitment. In general, she just has a positive outlook on life and was Greek before, so she knows how to positively promote Greeks while maintaining a good image.” Tuesday features Academic Games in Plachta Auditorium, Wednesday are the Athletic Games in McGuirk Arena and Greek Week finishes out with Mock Rock on Friday, also in McGuirk Arena. “Academic games is a family feud-style game called ‘Words with Greeks,’” Osborne said. “The athletic games are similar to minute-to-win-it-style and with five different games.” Gladstone freshman Katie Thompson said she is really excited for her first Greek Week. “I’m a little nervous, because of the no sleep factor, but it’s really good because we’re raising money for a good cause,” said the Alpha Sigma Alpha sister. “I know a lot of girls are trying to get as much homework as they A GREEK | 5A

A local grill and bar is slowly transitioning its look, menu and atmosphere to better serve a broader demographic. CoCo Joe’s Beach House, 4855 E. Blue Grass Road, officially became Hunter’s Ale House on March 16. General Manager Pat Simons said the restaurant is going in an entirely new direction, away from the dual-piano, beachhouse theme. “Over time, some of that will come out and some other things will come in,” he said. Simons said there is no rush to make the full transition, as they are in the process of changing the décor on the inside and outside. A 226-inch high definition TV — the second largest screen in the city next to Celebration Cinema — and new booths in the center of the restaurant have been implemented to start off the transition, Simons said. He said the need for change came because the popularity of the dual-piano seemed to dieout. “It’s more of a specialty bar where you (only) go so often,” he said. Hunter’s Ale House will offer 17 specialty craft pizzas, burgers and variety of craft brews from breweries around the state. “We have 24 craft beers inside, and six outside on the patio,” he said.

Simons said he hopes the revamping will make it a place where anyone can come. In the past, Simon said CoCo Joe’s had people from 21 and older come in for drink and food specials, but he hopes the transition will target all ages more effectively. “We are trying to put a new name with a new face,” he said. “We’ve made it a place that anyone can come (to).” Simon said the response has been fairly quiet, but overall positive. There is currently a temporary sign in the front that displays the new name. “People come in and try our pizzas and beers they haven’t had before,” he said. Davison freshman Lauren Bellamy said she was not happy to hear about the transformation. “It’s one of the only places to get decently priced seafood,” she said. “It’s also somewhere different and fun.” Bellamy said she liked the social bar scene of CoCo Joe’s and the overall beach atmosphere. “I’m surprised to hear they are getting rid of duel-pianos,” she said. “I always enjoyed that.” Harrison senior Tony Birch said he was unaware of the changes, but it won’t affect his decision of whether or not to visit the business. “I liked the beach theme,” he said. “I feel like the Cabin has the atmosphere they are leaning toward.” metro@cm-life.com

The village of Shepherd is creating a new public library with the help of some Central Michigan University students. HON 321G: Design for Good is a special topic Honors class taught by Sue Bowlby, an adjunct instructor of interior design. It is a service learning class based on helping the residents of Shepherd renovate a building into their new library. “They already have (a library), but it’s about 900 square feet — like a closet,” said Holly senior Amy Crockett. “So they have a new building, which was an old pharmacy building in downtown Shepherd, and will give them about 4,000 square feet.” Though the class is an interior design class, it is comprised of students with a wide range of disciplines. Out of eight students, two are interior design majors; the others have majors ranging from integrative public relations to neuroscience and communications. The class will come up with an idea and make a proposal, but the library officials have the final say on what is implemented, said Alpena senior Steve LaBrecque. “We’re giving some options and doing the work for them so they can just decide,” he said. Crockett is an integrative public relations major, so her role in the project has been promotion throughout the community. She said response to the project has been positive. “They voted to increase their taxes for it, and a lot of people think it will bring more people into the downtown area,” she said. Bowlby agreed with Crockett about having support from the community.

w Visit the website for a photo gallery “The library staff has been very receptive to the students, and the public has been responsive and impressed with the students at the meetings we have gone to,” she said. LaBrecque said one of the main purposes of the class was to gain experience collaborating with different groups such as community and school groups. As a neuroscience and psychology major, LaBrecque did research on the psychology of color to see which ones would give the library the best environment. However, the students are not only in the classroom making proposals; as a requirement for the class, the students must spend at least 30 hours at the library doing work such as demolition, painting and tiling. One of the things learned from this, Bowlby said, is the reality of a project. For example,

carpeting was originally scheduled for April but was then pushed back to May, which means many of the students will not be in the area to participate and see the finished product. This was a major disappointment to the students, but representative of reality. “The students have great ideas, but not all of the ideas can be utilized, unfortunately,”

Bowlby said. The students worked hard to design a gazebo for the library, which they were enthusiastic about but had to be put on hold, Bowlby said, which was another learning experience. “When you go from academia to actually doing projects, you can have all the ideas

Chris Sowatsky wins ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Superfan Contest By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

TANYA MOUTZALIAS/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Saginaw junior Chris Sowatsky gets measured by Harrison senior Abbey Colville at BlackTie Tuxedo & Costume Shop, 1017 S. Mission St. Sowatsky won a trip to New York City to host a marathon of “How I Met Your Mother” for WGN. Sowatsky’s favorite episode “Girls Vs. Suits” illustrates Barney’s struggle to seduce a hot bartender who despises men in suits.

A little creativity for a class project now has junior Chris Sowatsky packing his bags for New York City. The Saginaw native was one of four people chosen from around the U.S. to host an upcoming “How I Met Your Mother” TV show marathon on WGN America after winning the HIMYM Superfan Contest. Sowatsky originally filmed a one-minute video doing a parody of his favorite TV show for Recreation, Parks and Leisure Professor Lorie Tuma’s RPL 343: Tourism class. “I thought most people are just going to do like a talking head of themselves so I was like, ‘I’m just going to have fun with it and parody ‘How I Met

Your Mother,” Sowatsky said. After winning the class competition, he noticed the HIMYM contest on Facebook three weeks later. “It was weird, because the requirements were very similar to the class video requirements,” Sowatsky said. “I wasn’t going to enter, but my roommates Ben and Matt and Matt’s girlfriend convinced me to.” Tuma said a lot of students were impressed with Sowatsky’s ability. “We learned a lot about him through this process,” she said. “We also learned about his passion for the TV show.” The assignment was meant to be informal and something fun to break the ice while getting students feeling more comfortable with technology, Tuma said.

“I think it’s amazing,” she said. “To see him win this is really very gratifying for me, because when I knew him in the beginning, he was very shy and very reserved.” Now students come up to Sowatsky in class and congratulate him on his video, she said. Before Sowatsky made it to the “Awesome Eight,” only his video was posted on the Facebook contest page asking competitors if they can beat him. “I was really honored about that, because it was like them saying, ‘Here’s the bar,’” Sowatsky said. The day the final four were posted, producers only posted his video on the page, he said. “It was really fun to see the YouTube views go up from like 500 to 4,000 in like a day,” So-

watsky said. After becoming one of four winners, his headshot and a clip of his video played during his favorite episode on TV. His roommate Ben Schuller recorded all of the instruments and produced the music for Sowatsky’s video clips. “When he won, I was so excited for him,” the Saginaw junior said. “I couldn’t wait to tell everyone he’s going to be on national TV and there was no one better for the spot than him.” Sowatsky will fly to New York City for three days to film spots for TV and host a marathon for the show with the three other winners. “I still can’t believe it sometimes,” he said. “But I mean, yeah, it’s awesome.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Concealed carry fight distracts from common sense policy reform

It’s a start

gal and moral complications on both sides, there seems to be no justifying a ban on the non-lethal pepper spray available “over the counter” to consumers. The work done by Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates and other students to create a zero-tolerance atmosphere when it comes to any kind of sexual assault should and has been widely applauded, but assaults and robberies are not unknown on our campus despite the best efforts of students, administrators and the Central Michigan University Police Department. The potential harm of allowing students to carry pepper spray on campus is more than outweighed by its potential to even the fight between an assailant and an unsuspecting victim. The worst that is likely to happen

he topic of carrying concealed firearms at public universities is loaded, but self defense extends beyond handguns. While groups such as Students for Concealed Carry hold symbolic empty holster displays on campus to protest a perceived lack of firearm rights, under the current university weapons policy the possession of pepper spray constitutes an identical offense to the possession of a gun. The consequences for possession of the vaguely termed “dangerous chemicals” by students are grave, according to the current University

Weapons Policy, “Any student violating this rule shall be subject to suspension or dismissal.” The policy is not limited to students. It goes on to state “Employees are subject to discipline up to and including discharge. Others may be subject to banning from campus and arrest for trespass.” While the fight over concealed carry, especially on the grounds of a public institution, is fraught with le-

from the misuse of pepper spray would be pranks gone awry or accidental discharge. And while these experiences would be extremely painful, they would be much less so than the violent crime pepper spray and other less-than-lethal forms of self defense could prevent. Should CMU be more concerned with protecting students from themselves than from attackers? The fact of the matter is many students already carry pepper spray on themselves, despite regulations otherwise. It’s not surprising — the potential benefits far outweigh risk of suspension. While guns and other lethal weaponry are a matter all their own, allowing students to carry self-defense items such as pepper spray is an opportunity for common sense to reign at CMU.

Holographic dead celebrities all the rage Conspiracy theorists felt halfvindicated last week when reports leaked that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, headlining the final day of the threeday Coachella Festival, were planning on resurrecting hip-hop legends Tupac Shakur and Nate Dogg. Because, you know, why not? Dre and Snoop were slated to be joined on stage by a huge group of other rappers, ranging from Eminem to Wiz Khalifa, but that wasn’t enough for whatever reason and that is a great thing for all of us. “But,” you are surely asking yourself right now as you kill time waiting for class to begin by reading this column, “isn’t this just a tacky, cynical ploy to promote these two aging stars’ upcoming projects?” Alright, there are potential moral problems, and this is likely to start a craze of living pop stars resurrecting dead pop stars at concerts for their own selfish gains, but think about it this way: This is likely to start a craze of living pop stars resurrecting dead pop stars at concerts for our own selfish gains! We’ve already been doing it on records for years. There have been countless posthumous albums released by everyone from the Notorious B.I.G. to Elvis. Tupac has even released seven albums since he was killed, almost twice the amount he released when he was, you know, actually making music. So, if we’re already refusing to let the dead rest in peace on record, why let them rest in peace on stage? Imagine the possibilities. The Beatles could finally reunite after over 40 years. Jimi Hendrix could play his legendary rendition the Star-Spangled Banner before every single sports game around the world. Michael Jackson could finally complete his comeback with his This Is It concerts. And why stop at music? There’s no reason we can’t extend this idea to other aspects of our culture. Let’s look at politics. All politicians and political junkies love to put words into the mouths of deceased former presidents. Now we can finally let those former leaders of the free world duke it out in a special televised debate. (Obviously, the debate would be on CNN, the worldwide leader in meaningless technology that adds nothing to the viewer’s understanding of the news.) Plus, instead of worrying about picking up new players in the offseason, sports teams could just resurrect the legends of the past. That Tigers lineup would be unbeatable with Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Ty Cobb in the heart of the order. Thanks to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, the dead no longer have to rest in peace. Instead, they get to be exploited for our entertainment.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

Proud to be a Chippewa As the university celebrates its 120th anniversary, the students, faculty and staff of Central Michigan University should be both proud of, and grateful for, the decisions made by previous generations of Chippewas. We should be grateful to those with the courage and vision to transform our institution from Central Michigan Normal School and Business College (1892) to (sequentially): Central State Teachers College (1927); Central Michigan College of Education (1941); Central Michigan College (1955) and Central Michigan University (1959), which today is considered a national doctoral institution. Today, the university is in the process of another major transformation as it prepares to become a major player in the most dynamic, fastest growing, and arguably most important industry in the world: health care. This has been, as one might expect, a challenging and contentious transformation. Yet this change is part of an inexorable march forward and helps us serve the highest and best interests of Michigan and the dreams and aspirations of students across the state and beyond. Furthermore, although the College of Medicine has attracted the greatest attention, it is just one example of CMU’s ongoing progress to better serve the needs of our students, support economic development and promote the sustainable use of our natural resources. A decade ago, CMU did not offer degrees in engineering. Now we have four undergraduate engineering programs that attract academically-prepared and engaged students who go on to secure high-paying jobs in industries that support our economy. Engineering is a direct parallel to medicine, because it is also a high-cost discipline. It requires institutional investment and support, but that is justified by the increased opportunities it affords our students as well as the broader societal benefits. Another example of progress is CMU’s new Institute for Great Lakes Research, which involves more than 20 members of faculty across a range

Central Michigan Life serves the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities, and is under the jurisdiction of the independent Student Media Board of Directors. Neil C. Hopp serves as Director of Student Media at CMU and is the adviser to the newspaper. Articles and opinions do not necessarily reflect the position or opinions of Central Michigan University. Central

of disciplines. This institute is already a recognized leader in providing the information required to understand and protect the Great Lakes ecosystems. Why is this important? The Great Lakes are under tremendous pressure from climate change, pollution and invasive species but contain more than 20 percent of the world’s (and 95 percent of North America’s) surface freshwater; directly sustaining 1.5 million jobs, supporting a $7.5 billion recreational and commercial fishery and serving as a major transportation conduit for imports and exports from across Canada and the midwest. So far as the College of Medicine is concerned, we are already reaping the benefits of the decision to become involved in medical education. This year alone, more than 180 first year students indicated that their primary reason for choosing CMU was our commitment to medical education and the possibility of being accepted into our College of Medicine. Those 180 students alone represent more than $8 million in tuition and fees just for their undergraduate years in school. It is important that CMU offers these and all of our students the best possible educational opportunities. This is why the university is actively pursuing the largest single investment in its history to build a $95 million biosciences building that will provide needed state-of-the-art research and classroom space (and become the new home for the Department of Biology). The College of Medicine presents an opportunity for the College of Business Administration, College of Science and Technology and the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow College of Health Professions to advance our educational programs and research. This will encompass everything from increasing our fundamental understanding of the biology of stress and aging in cells to improving the marketing, management and delivery of health care. The College of Medicine will undoubtedly increase our research profile and become a magnet for federal and private research dollars.

Increased research funding leads to higher quality education across the entire university and greater opportunities for both faculty researching in the diverse fields of health care and students involved with those faculty and in those research projects. Of course the College of Medicine’s mission of service to Mid-Michigan and Northern Michigan will certainly enrich health and economic welfare of the region we call home. We believe that in years to come, we will laud the decision to launch the College of Medicine and further advance the reach, reputation and influence of CMU. Finally, the debate about whether CMU should be focused on research or education, a graduate or undergraduate institution misses an important fact; CMU is already a comprehensive university that is all of these things and much more. We retain a strong focus on highquality undergraduate education, yet our faculty includes many worldrenowned individuals recognized for their contributions across a range of disciplines in the sciences, management, humanities, professional fields and creative arts. We cannot stand still but must continue to invest and adapt. As the examples above illustrate, we can move forward across a broad range of fronts with every prospect of success and we should continue to have the courage to do so. Furthermore, although the initiatives described above, and many others, have required one-time and ongoing investment of university funds, they have made CMU a stronger institution with an enhanced reputation and broader scope — so too will the College of Medicine. Within the next decade, doctors who received their training at CMU will be saving lives across Michigan and beyond. We believe this is a vision worthy of the support of everyone connected with our university. Dr. Charles T. Crespy Dean, College of Business Administration Dr. Ian R Davison Dean, College of Science and Technology

Administration should be ashamed of new website Editor’s note: Read the full letter at cm-life.com. Regarding last Monday’s article, ‘OIT takes the reins for launch of new website; student reaction varies with early launch’, Roger Rehm is still spouting nonsense. “Blue Chip Consulting Group, hired to help with the redesign, has fulfilled much of its contract, and now Central Michigan University’s Office of Information and Technology is taking a more hands-on role”, the article said. Blue Chip has failed miserably. Much of what they were supposed to do wasn’t done at all, and much of what they actually did was of poor quality. What was claimed would be done is still nowhere near completion, and it will take significantly more resources to complete the project as originally envisioned. According to the article, “No extra cost will occur, because OIT is involved with this phase of the website project.” Rehm was also quoted in the article as having said, “In such cases, OIT employees are temporarily reassigned from other projects on which they’re engaged, do whatever work is required of them and are compensated as they would normally be based upon their existing contracts with CMU.” As I said before, just because the work is being done by CMU staff instead of consultants, it doesn’t mean that it has no cost. It seems that Rehm is unfamiliar with the concept of “Opportunity Cost.” The work they do mopping up after Blue Chip’s failures keeps them from doing other, more productive work. Yet more evidence that Rehm is an unqualified stooge, ignorant of I.T., but willing to spout BS for an undeserved paycheck. Beyond OIT, there were other I.T. professionals throughout CMU dragged into cleaning up after Blue Chip. Leave it to Renee Walker to scurry off and hide after passing a counterfeit buck to OIT. In defense of OIT, if it weren’t for their involvement, as bad as things are, they’d be even worse. Looking back, I found an article, “CMU website redesign launch coming,” published on Jan. 12. The article said “Vice President for Information Technology Roger Rehm said Central Michigan University’s cmich.edu website redesign is moving along at the expected pace after its August delay.” It seems I was too busy at the beginning of the semester to give it my attention, but he was lying back then, too. As late as November, there was another deadline set for December, around the time of the two week shutdown at year end. Certain of my coworkers were told that they’d have to come in during the shutdown to clean up after it’d be intentionally launched with defects. Before November was over, that deadline was postponed indefinitely. That was plenty of lead time for him to be fully aware that expectations were not being met.

Ankenbauer, HR associate vice president finalist, touts experience By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Mark Ankenbauer said if he was chosen as the associate vice president position in the department of human resources he hopes to make changes toward an online system. Friday, during an open forum in the Lake Michigan Room of the Bovee University Center, Ankenbauer said one of the initiatives he implemented at Wayne State Univeristy was the conversion of paperwork to an electronic system. He said with paperwork, the average time to process transactions was two to four weeks. With the electronic system implemented, the average time to process was two to four days. One of his goals with the system, he said, was to reduce the number of errors. “My goal was zero errors. People were telling me, ‘You can’t do that,’” Ankenbauer said. “I said, ‘That’s my goal.’ They said, ‘But you can’t do that.’ I said, ‘But that’s the goal. If you aim up here, you might miss the goal, but you’re still up there. If you’re down here around zero, you’ll probably stay at zero.’” Ankenbauer, a 1984 Central Michigan University alumnus, said he hadn’t seen the campus extensively since he was a student. He’s the second and final candidate to have a forum for the job. “I was amazed by the buildings and the growth,” Ankenbauer said. CMU’s former human resources associate vice president, Maxine Kent, retired in 2010. CMU has narrowed its search for the next associate vice president to two candidates — Ankenbauer and current interim associate vice president Lori Hella. The audience, mostly faculty, asked Ankenbauer questions geared toward his experience in dealing with unions and strikes. Ankenbauer was asked if unions ever went on strike against him in his 25-

year career. “Nope, I never dealt with a strike. A couple times we came close,” Ankenbauer said. “I was able to work with them and show them why it didn’t make sense, and why it wouldn’t work.” Ankenbauer said he considers health benefits of the employees a priority. Although it’s costly, he said he understands employees need thorough coverage. Another question was asked about the harder challenges Ankenbauer faced at his most recent job as associate vice president of human resources at Wayne State. Ankenbauer said Wayne State had the attitude of, “We don’t want to change. We’ve done it forever, why change?” “Sometimes change is not popular, but it makes sense,” he said. “As long as I can get it done, we’re good.”

He said he sees similarities between Wayne State and CMU. “Wayne State is not so dissimilar from Central,” he said. “Yeah, Wayne is a larger, urban college, but they both have their issues to deal with.” He said he knows CMU receives a low amount of money in state appropriations compared to the other public universities in Michigan. “You’ve got to be smart about what you do with your dollars,” Ankenbauer said. Besides Wayne State, Ankenbauer also worked as vice president of human resources at Kautex Textron, director of human resources field operations at Textron, Inc., manager of human resources at Ford Motor Company and manager of human resources at Detroit Medical Center.

you want, but to have them actually implemented is a different thing,” she said. Bowlby said she is pleased to have a hodgepodge of disciplines in the class, because it builds collaborative skills, which are useful in the real world. “More and more companies are going to the type of management where you have collaboration and I think that’s key,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what discipline you are, you will be working with others in the field.”

can (done) this week to prepare and it’s hard because it’s the end of the semester.” Pifko said Greek Week is a good opportunity for all

Bowlby said she first heard of the project when she was approached by Interior Design Professor Jeanneane WoodNartker, whose office is adjacent to Bowlby’s. Wood-Nartker was already involved in the library project, but did not have the time to take on the class. “Because of our high-quality faculty, people continue to contact us,” Wood-Nartker said. “Sue (Bowlby) can see the whole picture and push the students to achieve more than they thought possible.” The project involves more than just one class. Under the guidance of Ren Hullender, assistant professor of art education, students in Hullender’s ART 446: Visual Arts and Aes-

thetic Education class have been working with Shepherd High School to design murals based on Shepherd’s history that will hang in the library. Hullender said his students go to Shepherd once a week and meet with the classes. He also said his students and the high school students email images back and forth during the week. “Students are working all week,” he said. “I’m really happy about that. I didn’t anticipate it at all.” He said the goal is to have the art ready to hang by the time of the Maple Syrup Festival on April 27.

Greeks to come together and raise money for a common philanthropy. “We’re hoping to continue our tradition of Greek Week, to promote Greek unity and also hoping that Logan will make the best of money raised for him and that it will help him out a lot,” he said. “Because in

the end, it’s really about him and giving back to the Mount Pleasant community.” Those active on Twitter can join in on the conversation and keep up with Greek Week activities by using #GreekWeek2012.

five football players suspended; second time for Austin White By John Manzo Staff Reporter

Central Michigan football players Deon Butler, Kevin King, Danel Harris, Joe Sawicki and Austin White have been suspended indefinitely from the team for violating

team rules Saturday evening according to the university. “CMU student athletes are obligated to comply with a rigorous code of conduct that ensures they are proud representatives of this university and its local community,” Heeke said. “If there is a

breach of this standard, there will be disciplinary action.” No further details were released, but the university and the athletics department said they are cooperating with local authorities to figure out what the next step will be.

White, who transferred from the University of Michigan, was suspended indefinitely from CMU Oct. 12 last season, but was reinstated for spring practice. Butler is a redshirt sophomore wide receiver who went to Inkster high school.

He had six receptions for 49 yards last season. King, another redshirt sophomore, blocked a punt against Michigan State and returned it for 30 yards last season. Against Akron he recorded a career-high two tackles. White and Sawicki are sophomores

and Harris is a freshman. Sawicki is a redshirt sophomore who has not played a snap for CMU yet. He is a tight end from Mokena, Ill. Harris is a 6-foot freshman wide receiver from Miramar, Fla. sports@cm-life.com

UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES

PhoTo illuSTRATion BY Jeff SMith/STAFF PhoToGRAPheR

Redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Niznak was hoping for better outcomes from his first and last pass attempt in the spring game Saturday afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Niznak threw an interception to start the game and had an incompletion on a 2-point attempt which would have tied the game for the Gold team with 23 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. But in between, he threw three touchdown passes including a 65-yard score to sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis. “I think that’s a throw I could probably make last year distance wise, but I probably could not make it as far as sitting in the pocket, making that read,” Niznak said. Head coach Dan Enos said he was impressed with Niznak’s performance. “I thought he was superb,” Enos said. “He made some really nice throws into coverage and continues to impress everybody.” The Maroon team held off the Gold for the 49-48 victory, but the scoring was not traditional. Additional points were awarded to the defense for certain plays. “I thought it was kind of an exclamation point of spring practice for us,” Enos said. “First of all, it was great weather. And I think our players worked extremely hard out here.” Junior running back Zurlon Tipton had three rushing touchdowns for the Maroon team and finished the day with 114 rushing yards on 17 attempts. Sophomore Mike Kinville had 94 receiving yards and a touchdown as he is adjusting to his new position. He moved from linebacker to tight end this spring. “I thought he played unbelievably well, especially on that over route he took on the far sideline,” Niznak said. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff finished the game 8-for-11 for 133 yards and said he was impressed with how all the quarterbacks performed. “The guys played pretty well today all-around,” Radcliff said.

“There were little things that we can get fixed, but I’m excited about the depth we have this year.” Since the teams were drafted by the players, Radcliff said there was some healthy trash talk leading up to and during the game. “There was a little bit of that,” Radcliff said. “There was a couple times the O-line and D-line were mixing some chitter-chatter in, but other than that we were just out playing, having a good time.” Overall, Enos was pleased with outcome of the game and said the hard work needs to continue into the summer and next season. “Spring practice is just the next step for us to continue to build this program,” he said. “Now we have to do it academically here, then start our weight and conditioning program this summer and come in and get ready for August.” Running back Austin White, defensive back Kevin King, wide receiver Danel Harris, tight end Joe Sawicki and wide receiver Deon Butler did not play after being suspended for violating team rules. Enos would not elaborate further on their suspensions. sports@cm-life.com

Austin McBroom, Jorddan Myrick granted transfer requests By Matt thompson Sports Editor

Freshmen guards Jorddan Myrick and Austin McBroom were granted their official release from the Central Michigan men’s basketball program last week and will be able to transfer elsewhere. “We won’t have everyone returning,” newly hired coach Keno Davis said about players leaving. “When you have a coaching change, let alone the coaching change that occurred here, it happens. There’s enough talent on this team returning that the guys returning are excited.” McBroom started all but one game last season as the point guard. He averaged 10.9 points

per game and a team-high 2.7 assists. The 6-foot guard from North Hollywood, Calif. was an all-MAC freshman player as he finished the season fifth in the conference for best free-throw percentage and 3-point percentage. Myrick started one game while playing in 15. Against Pepperdine, he scored six points and snatched two rebounds while playing 14 minute—all career highs. He went to West Ottawa high school in Holland. Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler already transferred to Pittsburgh University after his father Ernie Zeigler was fired last month. With those three transfers, there will be only five returning guards next year. The

day new coach Keno Davis was hired, freshman guard Austin Keel said he was still undecided if he would return or not. He said he wanted to sit down with Davis to help make a decision. “We’ve met as a team, and had a couple of individual meetings in depth,” Davis said. “As I get a staff hired we’ll try to build those relationiships, so they know what is expected of them in the classroom and on the court.” He would not comment on any particular player leaving. “I don’t want to close the door on anybody,” Davis said. “Sometimes guys get emotional and change their mind, and that’s a part of being young - and old too. It’s not my job to close the door on their decision-making.”

Myrick and McBroom had not attended off-season workouts. “I don’t want kids that would rather be somewhere else and they’re not coming to their best offer,” Davis said. “(Those kids returning) they want to be here because they want to be at Central Michigan. That’s what I want to recruit, someone really excited about coming here.” Saylor not rEturninG Zach Saylor will not be returning for his final year of eligibility next season. In 2010-11 he was inactive with an injury, but he’s scheduled to graduate in May and will not return to play next winter. Saylor appeared in every game last season. He hit a

Junior running back Zurlon Tipton breaks through the defense Saturday at Kelly/Shortst Stadium during the spring game.

Zurlon Tipton, Anthony Garland have big days taking carries By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Last season, the Central Michigan football team struggled to find a featured running back. The Chippewas had four players: Paris Cotton, Anthony Garland, Zurlon Tipton and Tim Phillips who had at least 54 carries during last season. Cotton led the team in rushing with just 425 yards. If Saturday’s spring game is any indication, things could be better in 2012. Both Tipton and Garland had above average performances in the Maroon team’s 49-48 victory. “Zurlon ran extremely hard and Anthony had a couple nice runs as well,” head coach Dan Enos said. “We even got

the fullbacks like Tyler Lombardo in there. I was happy with the way people blocked.” Tipton finished the day with 17 carries for 114 yards and his three touchdowns. Garland scored two touchdowns for the Gold team. Despite the impressive numbers, Tipton acknowledged that the spring game is just the beginning. “My performance was just alright today,” he said. “I made some good cuts and had some good runs, but there are still plenty of things I need to work on in the off season. I read the holes well today, but I think I was a little bit sloppy in my protections today.” Transfer sophomore running back Austin White was suspended and did not play in the spring game.

Tipton and Garland figure to be the top two running backs on the depth chart once the Chippewas begin practice in the fall. The challenge for them is to remain healthy after each of their seasons were cut short because of injuries a year ago. Tipton said, that process begins in the weight room during the off season. “I’m in the weight room a lot trying to build my strength,” Tipton said. “Anthony and I are in the weight room a lot together. If I’m falling behind he will pick me up, and vice versa. We’re trying to help each other out because the goal is to make it through the season without being injured.” sports@cm-life.com

Jerry Harris’ confidence grows during spring By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan football team has plenty of young talent at the wide receiver position. Sophomores Titus Davis and Courtney Williams burst on the scene last season with plenty of receiving yards and touchdowns and figure to be a big part of the team in 2012. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Andrew Flory has impressed during spring camp and could make a difference. That being said, the key to the Chippewas receiving core may be a veteran. Senior Jerry Harris began last season as the starter, but was moved to a back-up role after struggling with drops early in the season. “What you saw today was how he has been all spring. We really challenged Jerry. Jerry has been kind of inconsistent since we have been here,” head coach Dan Enos said. “He’s obviously extremely talented. Last year he struggled a bit. That’s really how Titus and Courtney got on the field last year. “ Harris caught 22 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns

last season; he will look to improve upon those numbers in 2012. He got off to a good start in Saturday’s spring game. The Delray Beach, Fla. native looked explosive after the catch. He caught a 47-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback A.J. Westendorp in the Maroon team’s 49-48 victory. Harris also caught a 44-yard pass from senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff on the first play of the fourth quarter that set up the Maroon team’s go-ahead score. “What you saw today is really how Jerry has performed all spring,” Enos said. “Jerry needs to play with confidence and make plays when he has the opportunity to. If he can do those things he’s just as talented as any receiver we have.” Radcliff said he has seen a difference in his fellow class member as well. “I think the difference with Jerry is his confidence,” he said. “He’s always had the ability. I think you saw today what he can do if he plays with confidence.” sports@cm-life.com

Local QB impresses

Ryan Zuke Senior Reporter What a difference a year can make. Last spring, redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Niznak did not have a firm understanding of the Central Michigan football offense and head coach Dan Enos said it showed. But this spring, he looked like a completely different quarterback. In Saturday’s spring game, the Ithaca native threw an interception in his first pass, but responded by tossing three touchdown passes. His most impressive was a 65yard strike to wide receiver Titus Davis. It was a great example of how he has developed as a quarterback. He admitted it was a busted play and Davis was supposed to cut back, but just decided to go. Niznak made the read and delivered an accurate pass.

Albeit it was not as competitive as a real game, but still, he looked comfortable and did not get deterred after a rough start. Although there is a small chance he sees much playing time next season with senior Ryan Radcliff projected to be the starter, he could prove to be a viable option further in the future. If Niznak can continue to show signs of improvement, I think he can become a fan favorite at CMU. He went to Ithaca high school, roughly 26 miles from Mount Pleasant, and has already received a lot of support from locals. He won a state championship with Ithaca in 2010 and was named the area’s offensive player of the year by the Lansing State Journal and the Morning Sun. There were numerous Ithaca jerseys in attendance at the spring game as well as a few signs of support. The kid is still young and has a lot of time to develop. He may not have an immediate impact, but he is the kind of guy this program needs — a local player at a key position. We will see if the improvement can continue next fall.

Walk-off homer clinches series for EMU’s Eagles By John Manzo Staff Reporter

Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Team is young, but just wait Even if Margo Jonker’s players had no hands, she would still expect them to throw hard. If they were blind, she would still expect them to hit. But for Jonker, the Central Michigan head softball coach, it’s not good that there’s not much of an excuse for youth. It’s not good because Jonker is a no-excuse type of coach. In the team’s double-header last week against Oakland, with temperatures just above freezing, she did not allow her team the excuse of having numb hands that factored into six errors. Jonker is the kind of coach a softball team needs. CMU has recognized this — it’s why she’s been the softball coach for the last 31 years. She has shown year after year that if the team works hard, excuses don’t matter. The team’s near-.500 record — 20-18 — hints at inconsistency. Twelve of 19 women on the roster are underclassmen. There are four freshmen and eight sophomores. The raw talent is there, but it doesn’t equal performance. That’s where Jonker comes in. Coaches take raw talent and refine it into a competitive product that can be utilized every game. That’s the process the softball team is in now, developing talent, but Jonker won’t say it. She said the players are already mature and know what to expect. She’s right, but she’s also leaving out one thing: the team, with all its youth, is still learning to be consistent. Talent takes time to develop. “Rebuilding” years don’t really exist in college programs where the rosters constantly change. In college sports, programs can only do two things: recruitment and development. A key component of consistency is confidence. Senior infielder Molly Coldren said confidence is probably the most important element to being successful at the collegiate level. Confidence, in a softball sense, equals consistency. Just ask Coldren how important confidence is. She’s practically hitting piñatas, with a .639 slugging percentage. Fourteen of her 35 hits so far are doubles, triples and home runs. When the underclassmen get consistent and confident, and the team can play solidly in all facets of the game — hitting, pitching and defense — expect a strong finish to the season. When the Chippewas find a way to be more consistent, they could be a team poised to make a surprise push through the Mid-American Conference tournament.

The Central Michigan baseball team was on the wrong side of an unusual game Sunday afternoon against Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti. A rain delay pushed back a 1:05 p.m. start time, but that was far from the usual events that took place. EMU senior Brent Ohrman blasted the winning two-out, two-run home run off junior closer Dietrich Enns for an 8-7 victory as the Eagles took twoof-three from CMU. The game was delayed because of rain, but had all intentions of being a seriesclinching victory for the Chippewas. They had an early and late lead, but Ohrman ruined the party with the Eagles last chance. “Any time you have a walkoff situation, for or against, it’s going to be a real emotional win,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “Our emotion was a draining emotion more than anything else.” The Chippewas jumped out to a 4-0 lead, in large part to senior Nate Theunissen’s home run in the third, but the bats went flat after. Instead, the spark came from the Eagles bats. They scored all eight runs after Theunissen’s home run – and they didn’t waste time, scoring two runs in the bottom half of the third inning. EMU regained the lead in the sixth inning with a threerun outburst, but the Chippewas bats woke up. They responded with a three-run inning of their own to regain a 7-6 advantage. CMU was one out away from winning the series before the two-run ninth. “It’s real tough,” Theunissen said of the loss. “Every win counts, especially in MAC play and we need every win to make it to the end goal.” Senior Jon Weaver and freshman Sean Renzi held serve for two and 1/3 innings of relief pitching for the Chippewas, but Enns allowed the two-out, two-run home run in his only 2/3 inning of work. Saturday If you are a fan of the CMU baseball program, then a thank you is in order to junior

Jordan Dean who smashed a three-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to help win the middle game of the three-game series against EMU Saturday. The Chippewas were in a 6-5 hole entering the eighth inning, but Dean’s home run flipped the switch in the game, giving them an 8-6 victory. “It was a 3-2 count, I knew what I was getting and he left it up,” Dean said. “Most of my at-bats I swung early in the count, I was being aggressive, but I felt good with all my atbats today.” The Eagles roughed up junior starting pitcher Patrick Kaminska, scoring six runs (five earned), with eight hits. The combination of freshman Dylan Rheault and Enns kept CMU from losing its secondstraight game to its in-state rival. Rheault went four innings without allowing a run before handing the ball off to Enns to close the game. Enns gave up a hit and a walk, but earned the save for CMU. Friday CMU, a team averaging more than six runs a game, surely didn’t show up in the opening game of the threegame series. The Chippewas were blanked by the Eagles 4-0, mostly in part to the dominant combined pitching performance from EMU. Eagles junior pitcher Neil Butara went six and 2/3 innings without giving up a run before giving way to a bullpen that didn’t give up a hit. Senior pitcher Zach Cooper went seven and 1/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) and three hits, but didn’t have the run support. CMU struck out 10 times and couldn’t figure out the four pitchers the Eagles put out on the mound. The Chippewas have a pair of midweek games against familiar foes before facing Kent State over the weekend. They play at 3:05 p.m. Tuesday against Oakland and 3:05 p.m. Wednesday against Michigan State to begin a five-game home stand at Theunissen Stadium. sports@cm-life.com

Team finds success in Kentucky, Midland; Baxter leads women By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Track and field is an individual sport at heart, no teammate is needed to block, set a pick or drive someone in to home for a run. But that hasn’t stopped Central Michigan director of track and field Willie Randolph from making it a point to focus on the team, instead of the individuals. Randolph said he was satisfied with his trip to Bowling Green, Ky. Saturday with the Chippewas sprinters and hurdlers. They faced some of the best athletes in the region, and he said “it was a good group effort” at the Hilltopper Relays. Freshman Ravyn Baxter highlighted the group by outrunning 20 runners to finish first with a time of 56.58 in the women’s 400 meter. She did not dart out to the front until the very end, beating the second place runner by .19 seconds. The three runners with the three best times in the 400 meter were all in heat No. 3. She was in the middle of the pack until the top of the last curve of the race. “I started picking it up and I started passing all the other girls,” she said. “There was another girl in lane one I could see out my peripheral. We were together the whole time and then when we got to the finish line it was neck and neck, and I basically dipped before she could.”

Midland invitational The men’s team won six events, while the women won three, in the Northwood Open Saturday in Midland. No team points were awarded in either meet. CMU went against athletes from Northwood, Saginaw Valley State, Lake Superior State and Oakland. Three of the four men’s throwing events were won by members of CMU. Only five participated in the men’s shot put, and the CMU throwers ranked 1-23. Junior Alex Rose, senior Mychael King and senior George Flanner threw at a distance of 55-11, 53-11-25 and 52-01-05 feet, respectively. Rose also placed first in the men’s discus throw with a distance of 171-08 feet.

CMU also had success in the 400-meter hurdles. Hurdler senior Stephanie Hurley finished second with a time of 1:02.47. Not far behind were sophomore Megan Heffner and freshman Bridget Doughty. They finished third and fifth, respectively. Junior Renaldo Powell and senior Brandon Post had the highest placing among the men’s team, both finishing fourth. Powell had a time of 14.37 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles, and Post had a time of 53.99 in the 400-meter hurdles. The other schools that competed were Western Kentucky, Bellarmine, Campbellsville, Eastern Illinois, Kentucky State, Marshall, Murray, Southeast Missouri, SIU-Edwardsville, Southern Indiana, Tiffin, along with unattached athletes.

Softball splits .500 against Bowling Green, Toledo By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

son about the Saturday. “But we did the best that we can.”

The Central Michigan softball team split with Toledo and Bowling Green to remain two games above .500, with a 20-18 record during the weekend. CMU (5-6 Mid-American Conference) was shutout 4-0 in the first game of its double-header against Toledo (12-26, 5-7 MAC). The Chippewas won the second game 4-1. Saturday, CMU lost 3-2 against Bowling Green (2515, 9-2 MAC), but beat the Falcons 3-2 Sunday. Sophomore pitcher Chelsea Sundberg earned the win with a five-inning outing giving up two runs and striking out three. “It wasn’t the best we wanted to come out,” said senior outfielder Ashley Gil-

SATURDAY Nine hits couldn’t generate enough runs for CMU, losing the first game to Bowling Green 3-2. Junior pitcher Kara Dornbos started for CMU, but after giving up three runs on five hits, she was relieved by sophomore Kristen Kuhlman, who finished the game with a shutout performance. Dornbos took the loss and is 9-10 this season. Gilson said CMU had a hard time building a rally. “I think we had trouble stringing hits together,” Gilson said. “We hit the ball well here and there, but we couldn’t drive in runs.” CMU head coach Margo Jonker said the offense didn’t come through during the weekend when it needed to.

“I thought we were upand-down throughout this weekend,” Jonker said. “I thought we played well (Saturday), we just didn’t get the key hits.” FRIDAY CMU hit 2-for-23 in the first game against Toledo. Junior pitcher Kara Dornbos took the loss for CMU. She gave up four runs on nine hits, and struck out five. Despite Toledo having outhit CMU, the Chippewas won 4-1 in the second game. Sundberg earned the win for CMU, having given up one unearned run on seven hits in seven innings pitched. She also struck out six. CMU will play against Michigan at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Margo Jonker Stadium. sports@cm-life.com
