Two Central Michigan University football players were jailed Tuesday, while sophomore running back Austin White remains wanted by police.

Sophomore tight end Joe Sawicki and freshman receiver Danel Harris were arrested by CMU police inside a residence hall on campus, Police Chief Bill Yeagley confirmed to Central Michigan Life. Yeagley said both men were arrested “without incident.”

Yeagley said the arrests stem from an investigation into stolen property that began last week.

“When we went to the room to locate the property, we discovered drugs,”

Yeagley said.

“Once we discover those things, we have to conduct a further investigation.”

Harris, of Joe Sawicki Miramar, Fla., was arrested for felony larceny of a vehicle, Yeagley said. He remained lodged in jail Tuesday night on a $10,000 cash bond. Only 10 percent is needed to be paid for release.

White faces charges of manufacturing and delivering narcotics, possession and maintaining a drug house. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

Sawicki, of Mokena, Ill., also faces charges of manufacturing and delivering narcotics, possession of narcotics and maintaining a drug house. He was lodged in Isabella County Jail Tuesday, arraigned and released on a cash bond.

White, from Livonia, transferred to CMU from

the University of Michigan following the 2010 season.

After sitting out the 2011 season because of NCAA transfer requirements, he was suspended indefinitely from the program for a violation of team rules. He was later reinstated within the program by head coach Dan Enos.

The CMU directory lists White and Sawicki living in a terrace-level room in Celani Hall.

Support for CMED, frustration with admin at meeting Tuesday

By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

Members of the Academic Senate said they are supportive of the College of Medicine but were upset with the manner in which information about the project was presented at a meeting Tuesday.

University President George Ross’s speech prepared A-Senate members to receive an immense amount of information during the meeting and urged senators to keep past events out of decisions for the future.

“I’ve had people say that it will be political theatrics in here.

Let’s not do that. Let’s demonstrate to students how we want them to behave and conduct business even when they disagree,” Ross said. “This body has been guiding academic policy for the last five decades, and I want to challenge you to be responsible members of this and carry on that tradition.”

Provost Gary Shapiro addressed concerns regarding the use of university funds as well as student tuition dollars to fund the project.

“Let’s be realistic, people,” he said. “The College of Medicine has been the recipient of university contributions. This is not unusual. To say we will have a major project such as this one and not spend money on it is unrealistic.”

Shapiro also discussed concerns voiced in a resolution passed by A-Senate at the Nov. 1, 2011 meeting.

According to the resolution, senators were concerned that “President George Ross and the Board of Trustees have made no public pledge orally or in writing not to fund the College of Medicine by diverting current or

future funds from existing colleges or departments, increasing tuition for undergraduate and graduate students or using any other public funds to support the College of Medicine.”

Shapiro addressed each concern in the resolution and said the process behind CMED will not be stopped.

“The College of Medicine is a huge task that still remains before us,” Shapiro said. “Activities involving the College of Medicine have and will continue to move forward. It’s unrealistic to expect things to stop.”

College of Medicine Founding Dean Ernest Yoder presented a slideshow featuring expenditures of CMED as well as Central Michigan University revenue used for the project.

In both the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal year, $5 million of university funds went toward CMED. In 2012, approximately $4.9 million has been used so far.

Shapiro accounted for the $5 million contributions as money saved from reducing energy costs around campus. Additionally, he said money intended for other colleges and departments will not fund CMED. “With an increase in undergraduate students coming to CMU due to the College of Medicine, we have estimated approximately $7 million of tuition money coming from those students per year.

That being said, $3.8 million of that will go to the general fund, and the rest of that will be distributed among other colleges,” he said. “The College of Medicine doesn’t expect to take money from other colleges for funding.”

Shocked & Aware SAPA brings crowd to talk about sexual assault stereotypes, gender roles

By Tony Wittkowski | Staff Reporter During the event, called “That S!%t Asked For It, Right?,” audience members were encouraged to shout out names placed on gender stereotypes by society.

Marne graduate student Christie Martin said she appreciated the attendance and atmosphere in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

“It was wonderful,” she said. “There were a lot of students who are interactive.”

The event was first held last year, making Tuesday night’s event its second appearance at Central Michigan University.

“We heard about the attention it received, and there were a lot of positive reactions,” Florida junior Richard Bronson said.

The event itself discussed some of the myths that make sexual assault acceptable in culture, Martin said.

With most of the auditorium filled, students voiced their opinion freely, all the while learning about the attitudes and beliefs of misconceptions about survivors.

This included listing characteristics about men

and women on construction paper from things shouted out from the audience, as well as statistics on self-defense. The language stemmed from its use in society, whether it be in residence halls or on television.

Invisible Children RSO hosts ‘KONY2012’ viewing Tuesday

By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

Richard Olunya speaks at the Kony 2012 screening on Tuesday, Pearce 128. Olunya, born and raised in Uganda, recently came to the United States to work with Invisible Children to spread awareness about Joseph Kony, a war criminal based in Central Africa.

What began as a YouTube video featuring one man’s goal to end the Lord’s Resistance Army in Africa has turned into a nation-wide effort, and Central Michigan University is showing support.

About 80 students gathered in Pearce Hall on Tuesday evening for a screening of the “KONY2012” videos, hosted by the Invisible Children registered student organization.

“We want to keep this

effort in the public’s conscience,” said 29-year-old KONY team member Richard Olunya, who grew up surrounded by the LRA in Uganda. “This is a very important issue, and I will stop at nothing to spread the word.”

For two decades, children in Central Africa have been abducted, trained and forced to kill by members of the Lord’s Resistance Army. Led by Joseph Kony, members of the army take children from their homes in the middle of the night and turn them into

murderers.

In January 2012, a video titled “KONY2012” was released. It encourages people to make Joseph Kony famous by contacting state and national representatives to urge American interference, joining or donating to the KONY campaign and participating in “Cover the Night,” an event occurring on April 20 to spread awareness. Within a week, the video had gone viral, and thousands of people had joined the effort.

raised to the Invisible Children organization on campus as opposed to the national effort,” he said. “We raised a total of $95. It isn’t a ton of money, but we’re glad to help out.”

In addition to showing the original “KONY2012” video, “Part II: KONY2012More Than Famous” was also screened.

“The club has prepared for this event all semester,”

said club member Katelyn Seiler, a junior from Saranac. “I loved hanging out with all of the KONY team members. It’s awesome to see people’s passion driving them to make a difference.”

About 25 members from Invisible Children will be traveling to Grand Rapids on April 20 to do community service and participate in chalking and hanging banners and posters to spread

the word about Kony.

“Our participation in “Cover the Night” shows that we care about both our global and local community. Our involvement shines a positive light on the Invisible Children organization, and I’m really excited to participate,” Northville sophomore Jackson Seedott said.

Seedott said he is eager to continue his involvement with both Invisible Children

and the “KONY2012” effort.

“I wake up every morning and realize how fortunate I am to live without fear. I can go to bed every night and know I’m going to be safe every morning,” he said. “That’s something kids in Central Africa have to worry about. Ending Kony’s reign is really important. He has to be stopped.”

good job, and I was curious about the title.”

SAPA also brought to light some of the laws that deal with sexual assault that don’t apply to other crimes in the state of Michigan.

“In the state of Michigan, the definition of sexual assault is when anyone does any sexual act without consent,” Martin said.

One of the main overall themes the event tried to get

across was sexual assault is about power and control, Bronson said.

“I thought the turnout was good, and I was happy with how everyone was willing to participate,” he said.

Kalamazoo sophomore Brittany Johnston said she did not realize some of the language was so harmful.

“I thought it was really eye-opening,” Johnston said. “We say these things

everyday and don’t put much thought into it.”

Parker agreed that she hears those names all the time but never took into consideration the meaning behind them.

“I think this is hard topic, and they did a great job covering it,” Parker said.

Big Rapids senior Tangela

Smith, who is in her third year as a SAPA member, said she thought the event went pretty well.

“I like doing programs like this, where it is fun with people laughing,” she said.

“But there was also a message behind the laughter.”

Senators repeated their support for CMED, but numerous members said they felt disrespected and forgotten in both the president and provost’s reports.

“I feel like we have been browbeaten,” said David Smith, professor of religion and philosophy.

“We have been told we don’t have a choice or a voice, and we should lay down and go home.”

Laura Frey, associate professor of counseling and special education, said she felt insulted with the way information was

presented.

“At the beginning of the meeting, we were told ‘You’re going to be told a lot of information, more than you can absorb,’” said Frey, also the president of the Faculty Association. “I have indeed absorbed all of the information presented today, and it is concerning.”

Maureen Eke, professor of English language and literature, said the process of revealing information is the biggest problem.

“This is a partnership,” she said. “Not something where the administration dictates and the faculty rolls over and plays dead.

The main problem has to do with the process and the way ev-

erything has been handled. I find it very troubling, and I hope we can find a way to go forward and work around the issues at hand.”

After discussion, a vote was taken to determine whether all points in the November resolution had been addressed.

The vote passed with 76 percent of A-Senate members agreeing.

“There has been fear and anxiety about the leadership of this university ... we have stumbled, and we have tried to rectify that by sharing an increased amount of info. We cannot go back and change history; we can only start to move forward here,” Ross said.

Shire, who lives next door to White and Sawicki in Celani, said police were present in the room “a couple of days ago.”

Shire said she had no knowledge about the arrests but said she walked past the room last week and saw several officers searching for something and talking with two residents. She said she does not know the players particularly well but talked to them occasionally and had been in the room several times.

Shire said the players’ room was fairly rowdy and often played loud music.

“They’re kind of loud,” she said. “You hear the screaming, just having fun. Sometimes when I’m trying to sleep, I can hear the music.”

Shire and her roommate, St. Clair Shores junior Anna Swando, said their neighbors had an unusual number of fish tanks.

“They had a whole bunch of fish tanks,” Shire said, estimating they might have had more than six.

“At least four,” Swando said.

Fish tanks are a potential piece of equipment used in the cultivation of hallucinogenic mushrooms, according to multiple online sources.

Resident Assistant Renee Jeffrey declined comment, and Celani Hall Resident Hall Director Steely Pegg could not be reached for comment.

Several residents of Celani terrace also declined comment, but a female resident

living in the dorm who asked to remain anonymous said the room was could’ve been a source of trouble.

She said the room was always busy with football players and other students going in and out often.

“I mean, they’re going in and out a lot, but it’s not anything (new),” she said. “I mean, half these people (on the floor) are football players anyway.”

Bill and Pam Phillips, of Barryton, walk around their house Tuesday afternoon. Bill, who built the house himself in 1972, suffered from a heart attack in late February. “He built this home – every piece of it,” Pam said. “We are really fighting hard to keep it.”

Fearing

Foreclosure Struggle still persists in mid-Michigan, Barryton couple overcome crisis

By Jackie Smith | Staff Reporter

Foreclosure.

At its simplest, the word is defined as the process of a mortgage lender repossessing a home after repeated failure to make payments. But it meant something more severe this time last year to Barryton residents Bill and Pam Phillips.

It was an actual bona-fide fear.

“There’s nothing worse than not knowing where you’re going to sleep tomorrow. And it’s not just any ordinary home,” Pam said, pointing to her husband one recent afternoon. “He built this home — every piece of it. We were really fighting hard to keep it.”

In reality, it would take months for someone’s home to be foreclosed on and even longer before it’s put up for auction. That could be as soon as three or four months, according to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, if the repossessing process is accelerated.

It’s a crisis housing counselor Teagen Lefere said really began in 2008.

When the economy turned, she found her hands full with clients who didn’t want to lose their homes.

Her process always starts, she said, with the same packet of information homeowners must fill out before they can receive assistance.

Several years have passed, and still, the issue persists in mid-Michigan. In fact, she said it might be even more prevalent.

“I probably send out five new packets a week, whereas before it was one every couple of weeks,” said Lefere, a MSHDA-certified counselor at Listening Ear Crisis Center in Mount Pleasant. “It just seems to be a lot now.”

In 2011, Lefere said she worked with 168 households — the majority of whom were battling foreclosure. In 2010, she told Central Michigan Life 19 out of every 20 clients she saw had trouble making mortgage payments.

Among her most recent clients were

the Phillips, who struggled with their lender for more than a year before they knew where to turn for help.

The couple received notice they were to lose the pension Bill had after spending 31 years at work for General Motors and that they would be without it for nine months. Suddenly, they could no longer make their nearly $900 monthly mortgage payments to Bank of America.

“He’s 82 years old; he can’t just go get a job,” Pam said. “And I’m disabled, so we got behind, and they were getting ready to foreclose on us.”

Payment options available for homeowners struggling with mortgage

By Jackie Smith Staff Reporter

It isn’t uncommon for housing officials who are elbowdeep in the state’s foreclosure crisis to agree that homeowners don’t always know where to turn for help.

That is, at first.

While recent statistics show few numbers of actual foreclosures and subsequent property sales, especially in mid-Michigan, some would say there are just as many people, if not more, reaching out for help when they run into trouble making their monthly mortgage payments.

Teagen Lefere said she assists five new people a week as a state-certified housing counselor at Listening Ear Crisis Center in Mount Pleasant, and a large majority of them are there for foreclosure.

“But if I read the newspaper and there’s foreclosures listed everyday, I very rarely recognize the names,” she said.

“There are people who are ei-

ther doing nothing (or) don’t know they can do something.

I’ve had people who’ve been doing this on their own for a year. And it’s no cost to them.”

Lefere said she spends much of her time sifting through paperwork as the in-between for homeowners and their lender and also helping the two parties reach some sort of conclusion that allows clients to keep their home.

Most of the time, she said, it’s “just a hardship that’s beyond their control” and that lenders are “not really giving them any breaks.”

The help available Listening Ear counsels people on foreclosure who are from several counties surrounding Isabella County, Lefere said.

However, there are several additional options for assistance through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, including programs that actually help homeowners pay their mortgage.

“The biggest problem we have in delinquency is unemployment or underemployment,” said Mary Townley, director of MSHDA’s homeownership division. “I don’t have the ability to fix that, but I do have the ability to be creative enough to partner with our other state agencies to come up with some sort of assistance for those homeowners.”

Townley pointed to recent statistics and said the state saw 416,000 foreclosures between 2005 and 2010. The severity of that later year, she said, helped get Michigan federal funds designated to “states deemed to be hit the hardest.”

The country’s Troubled Asset Relief Program shelled funds toward the start of the crisis, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. Townley said Michigan was one of the first five states to receive money with $16 million coming in.

EDITORIAL | Academic Senate serving much needed watchdog role

What I stand for O

The Democratic Party I believe in is an organization of prestige and honor.

A party that fought for sweeping, landmark laws that truly work to establish liberty and justice for all. I believe in the party that enacted the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, bringing women closer to equality in the workforce.

I believe in the party that got American men to first land on the moon. I stand with the party that supports unions and created the weekend, that supports the family and assists the poor.

I am a member of the Democratic Party, and I have grave concerns for its future.

I fear the effect money and party politics will have on it.

I fear that its followers will adapt to the concept of “don’t ask, just accept.”

It is worrisome that party loyality is now to remain politically correct and stay silent when a leader of the party is not acting on core ideologies. I think it is imperative to keep party members in check, so they can truly represent their constituents.

I will question the motives of distinguished members of the Democratic Party, including Michigan Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin when they vote for dangerous bills like the National Defense Authorization Act that threaten to exhaust my inalienable rights that the Democratic Party has long stood for. I will also address concern when the most powerful Democrat in the world, the president, signs liberty-smearing bills into office.

These are not Democratic ideals, and they cannot be met with respect or adoration within the Democratic Party. Blind allegiance is threatening the very core of the Democratic Party, and it is important that we Democrats remember what we stand for. We cannot let our party allegiance lead us to ignorance.

The Party is supposed to defend the underdogs, protect civil liberties and uphold the Constitution, and what is being observed now is not the Democratic Party I believe in.

John F. Kennedy once said, “I look forward to a great future for America — a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.”

I hope Democrats will learn that to question Democratic Party members is not treason. A politician can easily be corrupted, but ideas, however, never die. Our duty is to remind them of their allegiance to ideals, not politicking.

To be told to stay silent and look upon my elected officials in glory and adoration is something I cannot do.

It is especially important to be vocal now, in a time where money is at the center of all elections. We as Democrats cannot ignore or refuse to question what they are doing up on the Hill, for apathy and faith is how bills like the NDAA are signed into law. Simply having a “D” next to a Congressman or Senator’s name on CSPAN does not mean their blood bleeds blue.

Keep Asking

n the campus of a public university, administrative transparency should be a given.

This includes informing the campus community, from students to professors, about the goals of the university, what projects are being funded and what source of money is supporting them.

Central Michigan University administrators have failed miserably this academic year in acting as a transparent body.

The most noteworthy failure is presenting necessary information regarding the planning of the College of Medicine, from course work to funding to future costs.

Although the administration tends to act as though the releasing of hundreds, if not thousands of pages of CMED documents in November was a step toward transparency, they seem to have selective memory.

Central Michigan Life, the Faculty Association and the Academic Senate all had to use the Freedom of Information Act to wring the information from CMU and were told the documents would likely cost them money before they were ultimately released to the public.

This lack of faith in the administration openly presenting information is made evident by the 19 units on campus that support the Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro.

After months of unanswered questions, enough people stood up to complain. The A-Senate is provided with a meeting time and access to these administra-

tors — a time that has not gone to waste recently. Because of its investigation and continual demand for answers, information to provide better understanding was obtained.

At Tuesday’s A-Senate meeting, Shapiro addressed some of the concerns regarding CMED that were originally brought up in a Nov. 1, 2011 resolution.

The resolution stated, “President George Ross and the Board of Trustees have made no public pledge orally or in writing not to fund the College of Medicine by diverting current or future funds from existing colleges or departments, increasing tuition for undergraduate and graduate students or using any other public funds to support the College of Medicine.”

Several senators said they felt disrespected and insulted with how the information was presented Tuesday.

Rather than simply explaining the funding and answering any further questions, Ross said, “I’ve had people say that it will be political theatrics in here. Let’s not do that. Let’s demonstrate to students how we want them to behave and conduct business even when they disagree.”

If educating students to keep quiet and avoid conflict to “conduct business” is considered a step forward in communication, it’s no wonder the administration cannot see eyeto-eye with the A-Senate and its concerns.

The administration has prov-

en it cannot be trusted to provide important information to the public, and A-Senate has stepped in as the body to question them.

Though enforcing transparency should not be a requirement of being an academic senator, it has become one thanks in no small part to the CMU Board of Trustee’s refusal to ask any tough questions at public meetings.

Some might claim the ASenate’s faculty members are simply bitter from last year’s protracted contract conflict and are exacting their revenge on CMED, but their actions are welcome whatever the cause.

This approach should be continued and not just with CMED. The lack of transparency has finally come to the attention of the board of trustees.

Open forums have been scheduled with Ross and Shapiro, and Chairman Sam Kottamasu has been quoted as saying, “We are concerned with rebuilding the mutual trust and confidence that has been damaged on many fronts. I believe we can all agree with the point regarding the need to improve communication, transparency and decision-making.”

When there are questions, ask.

When documents are not being provided, FOIA them. It is not the ideal situation, but it has become a necessity. ASenate has proven it is up to the challenge.

The oppressive silence of unraised hands It used to take a lot of effort to become a “Teacher’s Pet.” Apples left on desks, constant volunteering to read aloud, maybe even skipping recess to talk about the news.

I know all about what it means to be a textbook brown-noser; I was one in elementary school.

But somehow all it takes to be considered a groan-inducing suck-up at Central Michigan University is raising one’s hand. Not at every question, not every class, just once in a while.

In my five years here, the pressure to keep quiet and let class move along quickly has been a constant source of frustration and intimidation in nearly all of my classes. In some sections, such as writing workshops, talking is necessary, but for the most part, it seems professors have learned to add “Any questions?” to the end of their lectures as nothing more than a rhetorical exercise.

We have no questions. We want the information we need to pass this class, and then we want to leave.

The silence is contagious. I know I’m not the only student who looks guiltily at professors and keeps quiet when they attempt to prompt comments, even when I have plenty to say.

Why would I want to be “that guy?” If I answer one question then the instructor will know they can return to me. All of a sudden, I’m speaking for two, three, maybe five minutes in a two-hour class. What will people think of me then?

The lack of active participation in our wildly expensive educations is another indication of the apathy and learned helplessness of millennial Americans. We assume education is a one-way street in the same way we assume the economy and politics are merely things that happen to us rather than systems we participate in and have the power to change through interaction.

If we’re uninterested in wringing out the best education possible out of the classes we elect to take and pay thousands of dollars for, what sort of citizens are we going to make? What sort of voters, parents, employees and neighbors?

It is a silent majority of bored, lazy students who keep their eager peers from raising their hands because no one wants to be embarrassed by their interest in a class. In a culture obsessed with finding employment, of any kind, college has somehow become understood to be little more than a series of checkpoints passed with a piece of paper rewarded at the end. In reality, the real perks of attending a university are the thought-provoking conversations and relationships built between student and faculty. It’s hard to ask someone for a letter of recommendation when they’ve never even heard your voice. Speaking up isn’t intellectual masturbation; it’s a crucial aspect of both learning and establishing a career.

So this is a plea for participation, no matter how awkward or embarrassing. Please start asking questions in class; you will find yourself amazed by the forest of raised arms that emerge when someone steps up to create the fertile soil of conversation.

Or maybe you won’t be; judgmental silence has a way of keeping everyone quiet.

Isabella County works with city, CMU to recycle payment | continued from 3a

By Anna Palm Staff Reporter

Isabella County is doing its part in making the community more eco-friendly.

In 2011, 5,426 tons of material was recycled, an increase from 5,283 tons in 2010.

“Given the volume of material collected so far this year, we project total volumes to remain consistent with 2010 and 2011 rates,” Isabella County Recycling administrator Tim Dolehanty said via email.

Dolehanty said Isabella County and the City of Mount Pleasant operate the Material Recovery Facility under provisions of a joint operating agreement.

“Prior to 2008, operation of the MRF facility was delegated to Waste Management, Inc.,” he said. “As the recycling program expanded to include drop-off depots and a curbside collection program, it became clear that the county should exercise more

Straddling a crisis In March, there were 70,431 foreclosures in Michigan.

That’s one in 489 housing units, according RealtyTrac.com. The ratio was far smaller in Isabella County at one in 1,271, whereas for Wayne County, which is home to Detroit, one in 306 units were foreclosed on.

But the wide spectrum of repossession might not be entirely indicative of the issue with more people than before taking preventative measures.

Mary Townley is the director of MSHDA’s homeownership division. She said foreclosure is still a battle statewide, though higher numbers continue to crop up in southeast Michigan more than anywhere else.

“Michigan is still straddling a very large foreclosure crisis,” Townley said. “Have we made progress? I think we have with programs out there. Have we solved the problem? No.” Outside concern oriented around foreclosure, Lefere said, often comes with a few

direct oversight of the entire operation.”

In terms of revenue and expenditures, the recycling program has improved substantially in the past five years, with an exception from 2008, in which the recycled tonnage fell to almost 4,600 tons, Dolehanty said.

“This was the transition year when the county assumed operational responsibilities,” he said. “Agreements between the county and Waste Management for recyclables delivered to the MRF were not finalized when the operational change occurred.”

Dolehanty said records are kept of recycling households and individuals who bring recyclables to MRF. The Bureau of the Census estimates somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 residents participate in recycling in the county, amounting to 16 to 20 percent of the total county population.

The MRF staff sends out information fliers about the ben-

efits of recycling, and public announcements are also issued from time to time.

MRF Facility Manager Steve Moeggenborg said they make good use of the recycled materials they pick up, which can be anything from glass to plastic to cardboard.

“What we do, we sell materials to different markets and ship them to the markets,” Moeggenborg said.

Dolehanty said they reconstructed the recycling operation in 2010 because of concerns about continued economic viability.

“As a result, revenue from the sale of recyclable offset 72 percent of total expenditures in 2012 and 85 percent of expenses in 2011,” he said.

Moeggenborg said it’s up to each township to ensure that people have recycling bins and public containers are available in the community.

It’s not something MRF is re-

sponsible for, he said.

Bad Axe graduate student and student recycling coordinator Laura Baslock said there are recycling bins in all the residence and academic halls, as well as giant blue containers outside a number of buildings on campus.

She said these containers are emptied daily and the waste is brought to MRF. “Our offices are making recycling a bit easier to do,” Baslock said. “We have Twitter and Facebook, and I think the social media helps connect with the students.”

Even though only nine students are working at Recycling at CMU, Baslock said she thinks the student community does well in recycling.

“I think that students are becoming a lot better,” she said.

“They are recycling more.”

misconceptions — like that people are lazy with their money, sought the wrong kind of loan or bought a bigger house than they should have.

It could be true that there is a percentage of that, she said, but more often the circumstances might be out of a homeowner’s control, like a loss of income.

“If you were approved for a loan on two incomes and you lose one, it’s kind of hard to maintain that,” Lefere said.

“The people I am working with are people who had good jobs and lost their jobs, can’t find a new job or they find a new job and it’s half of what they were making. Or a spouse gets sick.”

their living room to accommodate large family dinners.

The home sits on a channel leading to a nearby lake in Mecosta County, where only one in 1,112 homes were foreclosed on last month.

It’s been well more than a year since the Phillips first lost Bill’s pension, and Pam said they’re on “the road to recovery” to keeping the home that Bill built himself 40 years ago.

However, it wasn’t until well after they struggled for nine months that Pam said they came to Lefere for help. They’d sifted through stacks of paperwork every month to prove to their lender the income wasn’t coming and, after a year, it all changed.

“People said to me, ‘Aren’t you worried?’ And I (was) worried,” Pam said of foreclosure.

“But my minister said to me to trust in God, and I did. Out of the blue, this name Listening Ear popped up, and I met Teagen. I was led to her. I truly believe that.”

These days, they find themselves driving between Mount Pleasant, Grand Rapids, Harrison and elsewhere for medical appointments after a heart

attack Bill suffered in late February forced Pam and family members to revive him three times on the way to the hospital in Big Rapids.

After the episode, a heart defibrillator and pacemaker were placed in Bill’s chest. He additionally takes the blood thinner Coumadin, which has darkened the skin on his hands or what he joked are his “permanent mittens.”

Even more recently, physicians discovered a tumor on Bill’s bladder, and the 82-yearold is scheduled for surgery May 3 to remove it.

While resting in Mount Pleasant after one of Bill’s appointments in late March, the two recounted every struggle.

Pam, who is in her early 50s, said the couple only pays for some of the medical expenses, as Bill’s on Medicaid.

“There again,” Pam said, “we just trust in the Lord.”

Bill added, “He’ll get us through.”

“No matter where we’re going to be tomorrow,” Pam said, holding her husband’s hand, “We’ll be together.”

The road to recovery On Tuesday, the Phillips walked around their three-bedroom house, admiring the walls and ceiling, which are covered in a species of pine wood.

Everywhere around the home are furniture and personal paraphernalia they said make the home theirs, such as the collection of wind chimes and bird houses they’ve mounted outside and the multitude of couches arranged in

The end result was StepForwardMichigan.org, which explains how funds can help homeowners supplement their mortgage for up to 12 months.

Townley said the non-profit portal was launched in April 2011 and has until 2017 to spend the funds. The outcome, she said, has suggested exactly how many people out there need help but might not pursue it.

“They get half way through (the application) and for whatever reason they never complete it,” Townley said. “There’s another great percentage of households who fill out the application, but they never send us their documents.”

With the state’s economy allowing fewer local opportunities, such as housing counseling to be funded, Lefere said it’s especially important for people struggling to realize what the options are. She said at Listening Ear, she is the sole worker to service multiple counties.

Hard advice Both Townley and Lefere said there are two big pieces of advice when it comes to foreclosure — the first being for people to seek counseling prior to buying a home.

The second is for people already struggling with mortgage payments to never pay anyone but their lender. This is something a recent client of Lefere’s nearly learned the hard way.

Bill and Pam Phillips had been struggling with foreclosure when an outside agency told them it needed to send a representative to their Barryton home to collect a fee in the hundreds of dollars. The aim was to receive some relief with the couple’s monthly payments.

Credit to the counselor The Phillips attribute much of why they’re keeping their home — for now — to Lefere for going what Pam called “that extra step.”

Bill called her “a beautiful personality,” while Pam said she approached them without judgment, helping feel relief from the stigma that “you’re a bad person because you don’t pay your mortgage.”

Lefere said foreclosure clients come to her at a variety of stages, whether they merely foresee a future issue with their mortgage or are in woe over their home’s auction date the following week.

And the amount of time clients’ cases are wrapped up is just as broad, she said, with some ending as soon as three months and others taking as long as three years.

But getting people “mortgage-ready” is what she said she was originally trained to do in 2007 — before the foreclosure crisis really erupted.

“Ideally, when this foreclosure crisis is over,” Lefere said, “I can concentrate more on homebuyer ed.”

But Pam told Lefere. On Tuesday, Pam referenced the incident, recalling it as something that seemed like “a little bit hope” but turned out to be a scam.

“They play on your heart,” she said.

Scams aren’t unusual, Lefere said, though there is other information homeowners ought to be cognizant of while seeking help.

Above all, she said, communicate well with whatever company serviced your home loan, especially if you run into a loss of income.

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Midweek games have given the Central Michigan baseball team fits this season.

The Chippewas (16-21, 6-6 MAC) put an end to a threegame midweek losing streak by beating Oakland in the second game of the two-game series 15-4 Tuesday at Theunissen Stadium.

“Anytime you can get a W it’s good, especially coming off a really tough loss on Sunday,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “We talked about playing with good intensity, and sure you want to get a win, but don’t win unless you play hard. And I thought we had a good attitude, too.”

The CMU bats were on dis-

play scoring 15 runs on 12 hits, including a three-run home run by redshirt freshman catcher Tyler Huntey in the sixth inning.

He had four RBIs on the day; the home run was the first of his career.

“I felt like a relief to know that I can do it — that I can hit the ball out,” Huntey said.

Senior designated hitter Nate Theunissen continued swinging a hot bat with a double and four RBIs. “Our bats have been hot for a while, but today we had timely hitting,” Huntey said.

The Chippewas faced some adversity in the sixth inning when starter freshman Jordan Foley came out of the game with the bases loaded after throwing 5 1/3 innings and striking out

four.

Freshman pitcher Sean Renzi entered the game, struck out one batter and got another to ground out to senior third baseman Tyler Hall to end the inning. “(Renzi) is getting better, coach Opalewski has done a nice job with him,” Jaksa said.

“He’s getting better and more confident.”

CMU hosts in-state Michigan State (23-12, 5-4 Big Ten) today and will host a three-game series with Mid-American Conference three-time defending tournament Champions Kent State (20-15, 10-2 MAC).

“It’s good to get off on a good start and get the bats going especially,” Huntey said.

Michigan blows out softball

By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Kara Dornbos was in control Tuesday against No. 24 Michigan — then the sixth inning happened.

Dornbos, a junior pitcher for the Central Michigan softball team (20-19), faced 18 batters in the first five innings.

It took three CMU pitchers to get through a 15-batter sixth inning. Michigan scored nine runs that inning en route to a 10-2 win at Margo Jonker Stadium.

“Very frustrating; I’m very frustrated right now,” head

coach Margo Jonker said. “We couldn’t get an out. We gave them outs, which is frustrating.”

Dornbos (9-11) threw six strikeouts and walked none.

She gave up five runs in the sixth before she was relieved by sophomore pitcher Chelsea Sundberg in the fifth.

Michigan (31-11) sophomore left fielder Nicole Sappingfield went 3-for-4 with an RBI. She hit 2-for-2 in the sixth inning.

“I thought Dornbos pitched extremely well,” Jonker said.

“She held them off base.”

CMU struck first when se-

nior Molly Coldren hit her eighth home run of the season.

She went 3-for-3 in the game.

Jonker did not allow player interviews after the game.

Freshman Haylie Wagner earned the win for the Wolverines. Dornbos took the loss.

Jonker said Dornbos didn’t get tired in the sixth. She said jokingly that Dornbos could’ve pitched for “hours, days even.”

“The issue was that by then, (Michigan) had seen her,” Jonker said, referring to how Michigan picked up on Dornbos’ tendencies.

Competitive fencing offers alternative to classroom lectures

By Paulina Lee | Staff Reporter

En garde! Ready? Fence!

Instead of going to class and sitting listening to lecture, students who take PED 266: Competitive Fencing learn how to fence.

Associate Professor of Theatre, Interpretation and Dance Keeley Stanley-Bohn has been teaching the class for the past four years and has been fencing for more than 10 years.

“There’s that attraction to sword playing ... some have seen it on TV during the Olympics, while others are just curious,” she said.

Stanley said she also teaches stage combat, but fencing itself is not just playing.

“It takes a lot of strategy and footwork,” she said. “Footwork itself is the most important.

Blade work is the most flashy, but without footwork, you’re dead in the water. Stage combat is the opposite.”

A couple of her students said Stanley is the main reason they decided to take fencing.

“I had a couple of classes with Keeley, who convinced me to try fencing,” Derek Howes said.

The Royal Oak senior said he really enjoys fencing.

“I like how there’s so much strategy to it,” he said. “There’s trickery and the give and take, like boxing, but you don’t get hit in the face.”

Howes explained that there are three different types of weapons; the foil, épée and the saber. They are identified not only by the slight differences in the sword themselves but also their scoring techniques.

Pewamo freshman Brooke Hefron fences with an opponent during Monday night’s fencing class in McGuirk Arena. Hefron has been fencing for almost a year. “I decided I wanted to do this,” Hefron said. “I love it, I’m just mad I didn’t get involved earlier.”

“I like how there’s so much strategy to it.

There’s trickery and the give and take, like boxing, but you don’t get hit in the face.”

Derek Howes, Royal Oak senior

“Foil you get points by hitting someone on their torso, épée you can hit anywhere from head to toe and saber is more like slashing, which you can do on the upper body,” he said.

Volunteer teacher assistant Jacque Billette has been fencing for seven years.

“It’s a good way to work out,” the alumna and Mount Pleasant resident said. “It’s not running and you always have a sense of accomplishment at the end. I’ve never walked away from a bout without feeling that I gave it everything I had.”

A FENCING | 2B

The basics of “the birds and the bees” is one of the main topics of a class offered at Central Michigan University.

Human Environmental Studies instructors Jeffrey Angera and Christopher Latty co-teach HDF 213: Introduction to Human Sexuality.

Many students take the course because they think they know everything there is to know about sex, but that’s not the case, Angera said.

“People dismiss and say ‘I know what sex is.’ There is much more to it,” he said.

“We talk about more than the physical aspect of sex.”

The course is focused on learning about human sexuality in a developmental context, including gender issues, sexual development, sexual response, sexual anatomy, sexual problems and therapy and STIs. One topic widely discussed in class is how the body responds to physical pleasure by orgasm and the different techniques to achieve sexual pleasure

with a partner or by masturbation. The class also highlights sexual issues associated with not reaching orgasm and physical sexual problems.

“The thing about this course is that there is direct applicability,” he said. “It’s a service class. It’s important knowledge all people benefit from.”

Farmington Hills junior Amanda Katzman said the class discussions are much more involved than other classes she has had, because everyone has something to say about sex.

Katzman said having two instructors teach makes the class more engaging.

“I knew that the class was basically known as ‘the sex class,’ but there’s a lot more information about the body and sex than I thought,” she said.

Warren senior Amanda Shepard said she took the class because she’s interested in gynecology.

“People ask questions that are out of the ordinary,” she said. “It brings a taboo topic into light.”

An eépée mask and sword sit on the ground awaiting use during Monday night’s fencing class in McGuirk Arena.

Real-world experience might be what sets a student apart from their peers.

By taking a class with Doug Berry, professor of journalism, students can hope to gain experience that is pertinent within the advertising industry. For his class JRN 466: Advertising Campaign, Berry used past industry contacts to create something better than a life-like experience.

“I thought it would be a great experience for students to get a real client for the class,” he said. “They’re doing something very similar to what a real agency is doing.”

With the help of Ally Bank, students are working on a real creative brief and coming up with their own ideas, which will be presented to the client after finals week in Detroit.

“We don’t use a book,” Canton sophomore Jackie Denomme said. “Which is great, because advertising is all hands-on. I’m just glad I get to see how the whole process works.”

Behind great advertising campaigns are great brain-

storming sessions.

“My favorite part about the class is hearing everyone’s ideas and being able to come up with fun, new ideas with all of our different creativeness coming together,” Pinconning senior Tori McQuarter said.

“Without the mix of students in the class, I don’t think we would have as good of ideas as we do. We really feed off of each other, and I love that dynamic that we have.”

Denomme said their strategies are trying to hone in on Ally’s “antibank approach.”

“We have two strategies: ‘We’ve got your back’ and ‘We take the bullshit out of banking,’” Denomme said.

Both McQuarter and Denomme agreed the project is a great opportunity.

It’s going to give me experience presenting to real-world clients, which is something I have never done before,” McQuarter said. “It also gives us all a chance to see what it’s like to work for a client in the real world, which is such a huge learning experience that I am incredibly thankful for.” studentlife@cm-life.com

University Theatre Dance Company to host show this weekend

By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

The University Theatre Dance Company is hosting its spring concert featuring faculty- and student-choreographed dances this weekend.

Thirty-five student dancers will take the stage in Bush Theatre in a variety of genres and styles.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday, and Sunday’s matinee show starts at 2 p.m.

Tickets are being sold at Ticket Central in the Central Michigan University Events Center at $7 for the general public and $5 for students and

senior citizens.

About 200 people are expected to attend the event featuring collaborations between faculty designers and artists and student performers and artists, said Director Heather Trommer-Beardslee, temporary instructor in the department of communication and fine arts.

She said there will be nine faculty-choreographed pieces and three student works.

“After the fall show, faculty got together and we selected three student works to be presented in full makeup, costume and lights in the program this weekend,” Trommer-Beardslee said.

Hip-hop, classical American jazz, tap, modern and contemporary ballet and contemporary dance will all be featured in the show, she said.

Monroe freshman Emily Cotterman said this will be her first spring show and people should expect a variety of dance.

“There will be different genres, different levels of dance and different emotions portrayed through every dance,” she said.

This will be graduate student Alison Wright’s fifth time performing in the spring show.

“I am doing a mix of hiphop and ballet that tells a story

about good overcoming evil,” the Clarkston native said.

Students practice once a week and have company classes on Sunday, Wright said.

“It’s less studio dancing and more about learning the type of choreography the teacher was using,” she said.

Communication and Dramatic Arts faculty member Molly Kampf said it takes a lot of dedication to be in the company.

“The dancers are so great,” she said. “They really give it their all and it’s a lot more than just dancing around learning the steps.” studentlife@cm-life.com

We can’t blame the subspecies that are Nashville fans for cheering on Shea Weber’s goonsquad decision to play shot put with Henrik Zetterberg’s head last week. Predator’s fans like to wear their hockey jerseys untucked so they can hide their fully developed tails. If you listen closely, you can even hear them squeal with delight and click their claws together at the whole spectacle. The Scopes Monkey Trial was held in Tennessee in 1925, and Tennesseeans are still strongly opposed to evolution being taught in their state. I guess sometimes the truth hits a little too close to home.

in particular we were lucky enough to have two editors and a proofreader to help keep us going and to help us feel more confident that we were choosing the best submissions to go into the magazine.”

Dooley said he looks forward to sharing the finished product with the English community.

“The Central Review is wonderful, but in a lot of ways it’s one of CMU’s bestkept secrets still,” Dooley said. “With the format changes, the quality of the work we were lucky enough to select and all the hard work of the designers, it turned out to be a phenomenal product, and I’m just super proud.”

Dooley noted that increasing awareness about the publication and adding emphasis to the online product were among the goals for next semester.

Jajuga said she looks forward to continuing to work on such a great publication.

“I’m really confident about all the people who are going to be working and the staff lined up for next semester,” Jajuga said. “I plan to have the next edition be just as excellent as it has been previously.”

Benway said she was nervous facilitating her first discussion group for her class.

“I’ve never done it before, and topics on sex are different,” she said.

Although it’s sometimes uncomfortable, the goal is for students to talk about sexual issues in a comfortable, nonjudgmental matter, she said.

“I put it at the top of one of my favorite classes I’ve ever taken,” she said. “It’s a lot of work, but the structure is much different than other classes.”

Benway said she is im-

pressed with how the group interacts and is willing to learn.

“I get out of it what I put in,” she said. “I’m in charge of my academic destination.”

Angera has been teaching the class at a college level since 1993 and began at CMU in 2002.

One thing that has changed is how people talk about sexual orientations, Angera said.

“The discussions are much more open-minded than the past,” he said. “It’s a good thing.”

After standing behind a laptop for four or five songs at a pretty excellent loft party, my roommate Frank confided in me that he “totally thought about giving up on physical therapy and just being a DJ for the rest of my life.” I can’t even hate on that. Watching a guy uncontrollably make out with a stuffed Charlie Brown doll to Sak Noel’s “Loca People” in the middle of a room full of dancing people is a wildly rewarding experience.

Angera said it’s sometimes a challenge to force students to take it seriously.

Each class of about 90 students meets twice a week for 50 minutes and then meets on Wednesdays for a small group discussion. Students are randomly assigned groups, and a student faciliator prepares discussion topics and questions related to class.

This semester’s release of The Central Review, an undergraduate literary journal comprised of student submissions of prose and poetry, is bringing all corners of the English community together for a celebration of a great year’s work.

The “Literary Hullabaloo,” taking place from 5 to 8 p.m.

Friday in the Powers Ballroom, serves to showcase the diverse talents of all involved in the many facets of the English department within the university.

The event will serve as a release and reading party for The Central Review and will also include readings from Temenos, the graduate literary journal that operates on an international scale.

The event will also include an acoustic performance from Joe Hertler and a silent auction. Awards will be given out by the English Department, Sigma Pi Delta and the Writing Circle, and English Language and Literature Faculty Member Maureen Eke will conclude the event with a special reading.

The Central Review Editorin-Chief Andrew Dooley, also student life editor at Central

Michigan Life, said he is excited for the full reading of the magazine to be taking place at the event.

“This is really something that is a good demonstration of the size and the influence of the English community here,” Dooley said. “English majors here aren’t always the best at promoting themselves, so it’s good we’re having a party.”

Mount Pleasant junior Leigh Jajuga, assistant editor of The Central Review and editor-in-chief next semester, said it has been a long semester of work, but she is happy to be a part of the process. “(Putting together the magazine) is a very collaborative process that takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears, but the product comes out great,” Jajuga said.

With hundreds of submissions each semester, the selection process for the magazine is tough, Dooley said.

The final product comes in under 30 pages and offers the very best material produced by Central Michigan University student authors.

“At Central, we have some wildly talented writers, and it makes the selection process difficult every semester,” Jajuga said. “This semester

Billette said bouts for fencing are very fast.

“Saber is fast; usually takes three seconds to get a point,” she said. “Foil and eépée can be longer; anywhere from three seconds to three minutes. This is because saber is much more aggressive to whoever makes the first move, and you can slash or score points on the head, chest and arms.”

But the sport is not just about aggressiveness.

“It’s not just about being aggressive, because it’s such a skill sport,” Sanford senior Chris Krause said. “Not that being athletic doesn’t help, but you can be beaten by someone because they’re smarter. Actually, being super aggressive is something that hinders me.”

Billette said fencing is a great sport for everyone.

Movie review

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ gives comedic autopsy on horror genre

By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

Students’ selection of majors might ring up high costs outside of tuition

By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Aside from paying for tuition, some program courses have students emptying their pockets for success.

Apparel merchandising and design student Jade Stansbury said as the level of courses increases, so do the outside costs.

“I’m taking pattern-making now, and I have probably spent about $250 in the class so far,” the Illinois sophomore said. “When we design a dress, we have to buy muslin to make the dress first, and then we have to make the dress again out of regular fabric, so that’s like paying to make the same dress twice.”

Stansbury said she expects to spend at least $300 a semester on supplies.

“I feel like the AMD major pretty much paid for the new Jo Ann’s building, because we are always buying supplies from them,” Plymouth senior Caitlin Andrews said. “But on the plus side, we get to make a garment that we can put in our portfolio, and we get to perfect our design skills.”

Combining class costs with designing for the Threads Fashion Show, Andrews said she has spent more than $350 this semester on top of the lab

fees and tuition.

Graphic design student Kyle Funk said he makes regular trips to the school bookstore for supplies when he has a project due.

“The most expensive item I had to buy was my MacBook, since I mainly bought it for graphic design courses,” the Ferndale junior said. “I don’t really mind spending that much, because I know I will have to buy those supplies whether I like it or not.”

Vocal and music composition and theory major Spencer Harrison said he spends money on lessons outside of going to class to learn material.

“It’s much less expensive than taking lessons through the school, and they cover studies I want to learn, regardless if it’s on my core class program,” the Macomb native said.

He also had to purchase a $100 tuxedo for the choir performances he is in.

An obvious requirement for photojournalism students is a digital SLR, but journalism professor Kent Miller said students can decide how much they want to spend on the equipment.

Students are also offered supplies purchased by the department for their use of rent-

ing it out.

“Part of being a photographer is you have to have the tools,” Miller said. “You can spend up to thousands of dollars depending on what you want.”

Miller said a good lens is between $1,000 and $2,000.

“If you want to be a photographer, you have to invest in quality equipment,” he said.

Miller said making a major more costly is all dependent on how much students want to spend and how nice of equipment they want. studentlife@cm-life.com

Many people going to see ‘The Cabin in the Woods” will probably be expecting a rather generic horror movie where a group of teenagers meet their untimely demise while staying at a secluded cabin.

While that expectation is somewhat correct, it won’t take audiences long to realize ‘The Cabin in the Woods” is anything but generic.

“The Cabin in the Woods” isn’t really concerned with giving audiences genuine scares.

There are a couple times throughout the film that will probably make viewers jump but that’s about it. The main purpose of the movie is to offer audiences a clever, often hilarious look behind the scenes of corny teen horror films.

There are two separate stories progressing parallel to one another throughout the film.

One story follows a group of five teenagers as they head off to a cabin in the woods for a little vacation. Their vacation goes horribly wrong once they unknowingly summon evil forces that begin to take out the teenagers oneby-one.

The other story is what makes “The Cabin in the

Woods” so unique. It follows Sitterson, played by Richard Jenkins, and Hadley, played by Bradley Whitford, as they go through what seems like a normal day at the office. This story is a source for much of the humor throughout the film.

Sitterson and Hadley work at a high-tech facility for a mysterious company. Early on in the film, it is revealed their work has a direct connection to the events involving the teenagers at the cabin.

Revealing exactly how the two stories are intertwined would be doing a huge disservice to the film; people need to experience it for themselves.

The two parallel stories in “The Cabin in the Woods” allow audiences to see behind the curtain and find out why so many teen horror movies are so similar.

Ever wonder why there’s so

much fog in slasher films, why people are usually killed one at a time or why people always make the awful decision to split up?

“The Cabin in the Woods” has an explanation for all of those questions and many more.

“The Cabin in the Woods” does something most horror movies are incapable of, giving viewers a refreshing and funny perspective of a teenage vacation gone awry. studentlife@cm-life.com

Video Game Review

‘I Am Alive’ survives in crowded post-apocalyptic genre

Join us in Marga-Relay-Ville!

2012 Relay for Life

By Jeff Ketcham Staff Reporter

There isn’t a shortage of post-apocalyptic video games out there.

From “Fallout” to “Rage,” the savage waste lands of post-something-really-bad earth have been flushed out in a number of different ways.

At first glance, “I Am Alive” doesn’t do a whole lot to set itself apart, but the game manages to bring a level of humanity to the genre that is refreshing and, at times, frightening.

You play as Adam, an everyday guy who managed to survive the world-shattering “Event” that left cities in ruins and a toxic dust covering the world. Adam was away from his family during the “Event” and has spent the last year hiking back to his hometown of Haventon to find his wife and daughter. We are introduced to Adam as he enters the city, and the game takes off from there.

The few survivors of the “Event” left in Haventon have barely managed to stay alive, and most of them have become brutal. While players will encounter groups of friendly survivors, the majority wish to kill and take everything they own for themselves.

Unlike most post-apocalyptic games, there are no mutants or zombies in “I Am Alive;” the only monsters found here are human. This actually makes for a more frightening experience.

Wandering through the dusty streets, dark sewers and abandoned hotels of Haventon, players will come across evidence of the evil humanity is capable of when pushed

past desperation. Murder is common, cannibalism is on the rise and no one can be trusted.

Adam isn’t any better off than his foes, and that makes combat just as much a mental game as a physical one. Often times, Adam is facing down multiple enemies, keeping them at bay by threatening them with his empty handgun. This only works for a short time before his assailants get brave and call his bluff.

Combat is about threats, trickery and positioning. A single round from Adam’s handgun will drop any enemy he faces, but don’t expect to have more than a round or two.

Some enemies have guns for themselves, and players find themselves saving ammo

as often as possible to take them out first. The nature of combat and the dark atmosphere combined with the lack of supplies make “I Am Alive” intense in a way most games can’t hope to match.

In addition to exploring and combat, the game is also broken up with climbing segments. Even in these segments, however, the tension remains. Climbing drains a stamina meter, and when stamina runs out, players lose their grip and fall.

This system manages to make players cautious of their movements and to keep the pressure up; however, planning their route carefully will allow them to make it from rest point to rest point without making them feel like the system is unfair.

“I Am Alive” explores the

HHHHH w Genre: Action, Adventure w Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation w ESRB Rating: M

dark parts of humanity in ways few games dare to do.

The combat is interesting and well-developed, requiring players to think as they approach situations.

“I Am Alive” toys with the line between survival horror and action adventure, and the result is a post-apocalyptic experience similar to the “The Road” that both adventure and horror fans can enjoy.
