Political science dept. endorses Academic Senate’s no confidence vote The third to follow decision against Ross, Shapiro

By David Oltean Senior Reporter

The Central Michigan University Department of Political Science has joined the list of academic departments to endorse the Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro. Three departments have now endorsed the vote, which was passed by a 52-percent majority at the Academic Senate’s Dec. 7 meeting. The resolution addressed issues of academic prioritization, shared governance and information sharing among other concerns expressed by the CMU community. Associate Professor David Jesuit, interim chairman for the department, said the endorsement, voted on at a department meeting Thursday, stems from concerns regarding shared governance, which encompasses a significant amount of the university’s decision-making process.

“We would like to return to this notion of shared governance where we have a community that works together,” Jesuit said. In the past at CMU, Jesuit said the administration had better included faculty members in decisions made regarding academic programs. “I’ve been here since 2003 and I think that in the past, it seems that there was more dialogue and discussion,” Jesuit said. “The administration seemed to be more in touch.” Department Chairman Orlando Perez is on sabbatical leave for the spring semester, but was a member of the Academic Senate when the vote of no confidence was held. Perez said along with shared governance, the Academic Prioritization of the CMU College of Medicine has been a concern for department members. “I think one of the things that perhaps concerns the faculty the most is that the administration is yet to assure the university that money from existing programs will not be diverted to the College of Medicine,” Perez said.

More than 400 CMU students have graduated with leadership minor Number of those with minor increasing By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

The exclusive leadership minor at Central Michigan University has caught on and found its niche on campus. Since its creation in fall 2006, the number of students looking to obtain a leadership minor at CMU has grown from 70 to 600 students, while approximately 400 students have graduated with the minor. Faculty member Eric Buschlen serves as adviser for the program and said the minor can benefit any student, regardless of their major. “We all need to learn to become better servants in our community and stronger leaders,” he said. “The leadership

minor caters to students from across campus and brings them together in an environment where they can learn the philosophy and styles behind leadership.” According to a survey distributed in spring 2011 to almost 300 alumni of the program, 68 percent of those that responded currently hold a leadership role. Additionally, 92 percent of respondents agreed that “the leadership minor has taught me specific life skills applicable to my life today.” Since the minor is unique to CMU, alumni are often asked to explain what the minor entails and what coursework is involved. “During each of my job interviews, I have been asked to describe this minor and how it has prepared me to lead,” said an anonymous survey respondent.

‘Beauty in

Imperfection’

Student creates art, to be featured in University Art Gallery By Chad Mitchell | Staff Reporter

ount Pleasant senior Meghan Borland says the modern, cookie-cutter lifestyle filled with Facebook, Twitter and microwavable meals leads people too far from what is actually important. “There’s this beauty in imperfection,” Borland said. “To see it is refreshing.” Borland has been spending 12-hour days working on pieces for her next big show. April 21, her BFA thesis exhibition will be held in the Central Michigan University Art Gallery’s main gallery. She said she hopes people will come see it and bring their thinking caps.

Her gallery will feature ceramic recreations of clay in nature. Viewers will get to see thousands of intricate ceramic leaves, faux trees that smell like honey and a hydroponic garden to support her living exhibit. Some who have seen her recreations have called them man-made fossils. She said reading a description of her work couldn’t do it justice, and hopes readers will come out to see it. “If you read it for face value, you’re missing out,” she said. Though she is about to graduate from CMU with an art degree, Borland said she never wanted to be an artist. She has spent most of her life searching for a path to take. She stumbled upon and found hope in an introductory ceram-

Dog Central to open in March Porject slightly behind from setbacks By Justin Orminski Staff Reporter

A recent Central Michigan University graduate is a step closer to opening his hot dog restaurant in downtown Mount Pleasant. Dog Central was originally scheduled to open in fall 2011, though Owner Paul McFall said the project took

a little longer than planned. “I recently spoke to the builder (and) it’s looking like the second week of March,” McFall said. Opening the restaurant has taken longer because of setbacks with the planned building, he said. “There was just lots of red tape,” McFall said. “It’s an old building that wasn’t quite up to code anymore.” Dog Central will be located at 111 E. Michigan St., near Marty’s Bar, 123 S. Main St., and The Bird Bar & Grill, 223 S. Main St.

ics course. Borland found out quickly that traditional ceramics, with a pottery wheel, was not her cup of tea. Clay was comfortable for her though, because it can be manipulated more than most mediums. Associate Professor of Art and Design Margaret Ware has seen Borland’s work created first hand. She said she thinks Borland uses clay to communicate her ideas because it is inherently natural. “Meghan’s current body of work focuses on the need for direct experience in the natural world,” Ware said. “She questions our assumptions regarding nature and our ability to ‘see’ the interconnections within complex systems.”

McFall, 22, recently graduated CMU with a major in entrepreneurship, and said he wants to start simple with his first business. He has not hired anyone for the restaurant yet, and said his dad has been his biggest help, mostly with financing the project. For prior experience, McFall has interned at Craig’s Cruisers of Grand Rapids. “My target for lunch is people that work downtown, otherwise it’s mainly students,” he said.

Perez said department members can understand the administration categorizing CMED as a Priority 1 program, but they need to be honest about the absence of data for the developing school. He said political science programs classified as high priority require significant amounts of data and reports for the Academic Prioritization system. “Don’t try to fool the university community by saying, ‘Well, the program has been evaluated the same way as any other program’,” Perez said. “Here’s a program where there is no data and it’s ranked at the level of programs where we do have data.” There was no opposition to the endorsement among the department’s members, Perez said. Earlier this month, the sociology, anthropology and social work, and philosophy and religion departments endorsed the Dec. 7 vote. Robert Noggle, chairman of the philosophy and religion department, told Central Michigan Life that the endorsement stemmed from a lack of shared governance, development of the College of Medicine and Academic Prioritization. university@cm-life.com

MINOR | CONTINUED FROM 1A

Nathan Tallman, a 2007 graduate and current Corporate Director of Government Relations for Ross Medical Education Center in Saginaw, said the minor is unique in that it caters to virtually any major students choose, and the capstone project is the most rewarding part of the coursework. As part of the capstone project, students must serve 120 hours of documented service to a local, national or international agency. CMU students have logged more than 57,000 hours of volunteer work. “(The capstone project) is a hands-on experience and doesn’t matter what your major or minor is,” Tallman said. “It allows you to evaluate your personal leadership regardless of what professional track you’re looking to take, and most importantly, it allows you to work with something you’re passionate about.”

Borland said it’s important for people to be aware of what’s around them. She wants people to experience things they would normally take for granted. She has never been much of a science buff, so she said her most recent work has been a bit like sailing without a compass. She said this has only made her more committed to the task, with trial and error as one of her best methods. “It’s exciting not knowing what you’re doing,” she said. “A good artist has to be willing to try new things.”

When survey respondents were asked if they felt the leadership minor added to their academic major, 95.5 percent said yes. Buschlen said this statistic is overwhelmingly important. “This is what the university wants to see,” he said. “This minor can be used to benefit any student and that’s why we have such academic diversity in both the courses offered and the range of students that sign the minor.” Tallman said he would recommend the leadership minor to CMU students. “The coursework in the classroom and the experiences from the classroom that relate to real life is a crash course of what the real world is,” he said. “It’s a launching pad for individuals to use and take aspects learned from the course. Although people may not realize it when they’re doing the work, as a graduate of the program, I’ve found immense value in the courses.”

IN THE NEWS ALTERNATIVE UC TUITION PLAN ATTRACTS INTEREST By Larry Gordon Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — University of California, Riverside students received a dose of validation Wednesday from system President Mark G. Yudof over their radical plan to abolish tuition and replace it with post-graduation payments equaling 5 percent of their income for 20 years. Speaking at a UC regents meeting on the Riverside campus, Yudof said he was “very impressed” with the proposal, despite the obstacles it would face in implementation. “We think the ideas are constructive,” Yudof said, promising that his staff would study the plan. His comments were a triumph of sorts for Chris LoCascio, a UC Riverside student who has led an effort to find an alternative to skyrocketing tuition and a way to cope with shrinking state education revenues.

LoCascio’s group, called Fix UC, released a no-tuition proposal last week that instead would require most graduates to pay 5 percent of their wages (not investments) for two decades. It would offer discounts for transfer students, graduates who work in public service careers and those who stay and work in the state. Students from other states and nations would pay 6 percent a year. The plan also provides a way to include dormitory costs and for those who are unemployed to skip payments. Current tuition is $12,192 for California undergraduate students — not including room, board and campus fees. LoCascio, who is editor of the Highlander campus newspaper, said the proposal would ease students’ financial struggles and, within a few years, provide more money to expand enrollment and faculty.

Tawas City senior Eric Thornton has known Borland for four years and has taken several classes with her. “All of Meghan’s projects are very ambitious,” Thornton said. “She continuously works on refining her ideas and her ability to visualize them.” Looking back on all the work she has done, Borland said she finds it hard to think of where she would be or what she would be doing if she had given up on art, which is where her message to new artists comes from. “Stick with it,” she said. “Sometimes you don’t know what you’re doing, but that’s alright.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Professor pioneers anthropology field through research on human life spans Rachel Caspari’s work has been highlighted by Scientific American By Shelby Miller Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University professor Rachel Caspari is known for bringing research innovations to the field of anthropology. With her curiosity in life spans and human longevity, Caspari has spent much of her time researching the different aspects of humanity including how people live, time periods and demography. “I’m interested in recent aspects of human evolution,” Caspari said. “What makes modern people modern? What makes us different from Neanderthals?” Caspari was highlighted in the August edition of the Scientific American for her research on the early lives of humans and the evolution of grandparents. After reading her research, the magazine contacted Caspari about featuring her in an article to contribute to her studies. “After publishing on the topic for a while, I was invited to bring all the things I was working on together,” Caspari said. Gladly accepting, she wrote the article “The Evolution of Grandparents,” discussing the impact of seniors and the relationship between longevity and other advances in technology and art during the time period. “I’m interested in the things that make us human,” Caspari said. “One of the important things is third-generation relationships. I was curious when in prehistory that occurs, and it turns out it is fairly recently.” Sang-Hee Lee, a professor of anthropology at the University of California-Riverside, shares common interests with Caspari in topics of sociological evolution. The two have worked together to determine the evolution of longevity by testing fossil tooth samples. “Her interest and expertise is fossil records and my special interest was figuring out how to get information from records,” Lee said. “We met in this very interesting idea of when did humans start to live long?” The human lifespan is not natural compared to other animals, Lee said. Anthropologists have often wondered when humans began to first live longer than

the natural life span, and there’s no way to study it in a scientific manner. Caspari rejuvenated a method formed in the ’60s and applied fossil records to compare the relationship between the accumulation of tooth structure and age, Lee said. Karen Rosenberg, chairwoman of the anthropology department at the University of Delaware, has both a personal and professional relationship with Caspari. In the past, the two have worked to co-author the work, “Why Not the Neandertals?” and have studied the implications of evolution on health and medicine. It’s difficult to approach the problem of evolution, Rosenberg said. By using data that scientists have had all along but never used, Caspari formulated a way to determine aging techniques by looking at the ratio of old adults to young adults to get a sense of longevity. “She came up with an imaginative way to address the problem in an elegant way,” Rosenberg said. “It’s really brilliant and innovative to figure out when a large percentage of the population started to live a long time.” By using this groundbreaking method of research, Caspari was able to get an idea of when humans began living longer lives. “With time, there were more and more older folks that were in humanity,” Lee said. “There was an especially big jump around 30,000 years ago when old outnumbered young.” Lee and Caspari noticed that the time period in which humans began to live longer coincided with other things happening in human evolution, such as art and jewelry. “Something very interesting was going around during that time period that has nothing to do with a new species, but rather a product of biocultural changes that were happening to the world,” Lee said. “It’s a promising line of research.” With Caspari’s pioneering research and findings, the field of anthropology now has the means to determine when longevity evolved for humans and how this has impacted other aspects of civilization. “What I think is wonderful about her work is that she is very rigorous,” Rosenberg said. “What she did was an enormous innovation.” university@cm-life.com

Chinese students celebrate at Spring Festival Celebration By Sarah Donetti | Staff Reporter

he Chinese Student and Scholar Association rang in the New Year with performances and traditional food as they put together their annual Spring Festival Celebration. The annual event at Grace Church’s Ward Theater, 218 S. Main St. is a way for Chinese students to celebrate the holiday during a busy school year and give each other their best wishes, said Yi Li, China senior and former CSSA president. “It’s like what Christmas is here,” Li said about Saturday’s event. “Family and friends celebrate together, and so we get together kind of like a big family every year.” Chinese New Year, known as Spring Festival in China, is a 15-day celebration based on the traditional Chinese calendar, which uses both the sun’s and moon’s phases in deter-

mining the date. Each year starts with a new zodiac sign from Chinese astrology; 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, representing courage and prosperity. The Spring Festival Cele-

bration featured videos and demonstrations explaining the central focus of family during the holiday. Traditional activities such as giving gifts of money in red envelopes and cleaning out the house to make way for incoming good luck were also explained. The celebration also included martial arts demonstrations and musical performances from students. A dramatic performance called “Linger,” about the life of a Chinese college student, was featured, and the event ended with a meal of traditional Chinese food. Chen Liu, China senior and CSSA president, said members started preparing for the annual celebration about three weeks before the event. “Because the date of Spring Festival came earlier than usual this year,

members had less time to prepare, but still did a very good job,” Liu said. Liu said CSSA is usually able to allow any members who would like to perform do so. “At our first rehearsal we ask members what kind of performances they want,” Liu said. “From there, we usually choose around 13. We usually like to pick things that best show our traditions and culture.” The annual celebration started at Ward Theater about six years ago, said Mount Pleasant resident and Grace Church volunteer Kim Tollenaere. “Our church has had a good relationship with Chinese students, and through that friendship, the event came to be here,” Tollenaere said. “It’s a great thing.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Alternative Breaks registration opens today By Jeff Ketcham Staff Reporter

Alternative Breaks registration opens this morning for students looking to travel and volunteer this summer. Students interested in participating in a service trip over the summer can sign up on the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center page through OrgSync starting at 7:30 a.m. today. Alternative Breaks pair groups comprised of 12 students with nonprofit organizations working on specific social issues around the country.

In the past, Alternative Breaks has sent students to places including Texas, Colorado and New York. The locations of this summer’s trips will not be released until registration has ended. Topics for this year’s trips will be animal endangerment, education, Native American issues, substance abuse and veteran’s needs. The week-long trips will run from May 7 to 11, with the exception of the the animal endangerment break, which will be held from Aug. 11 to 18. Registration closes 5 p.m. on Friday.

“We don’t reveal the locations until after the sign-ups. This is so students won’t sign up based on a location, but instead will choose based on a social issue they would like to work with,” said Greenville senior Troy Heffron, who will lead the animal endangerment-focused trip. “I’ve been on four. It’s an outstanding experience,” said Dearborn native Elway Pegg, a graduate assistant for the Volunteer Center. “People join for all different types of reasons, and once they get there, they develop a passion for what

they’re doing.” In addition to the week-long trips, the Volunteer Center also offers shorter, weekend trips, the details of which will be announced later in the year. Heffron said on the weekend trips, students volunteer based on issues similar to the week-long trips, but on a more local level, typically traveling to different areas in Michigan. “It’s the same experience, it’s just condensed,” Heffron said. “It’s a great way to get your feet wet.” studentlife@cm-life.com

CAMPUS GROW

RSO promotes sustainable gardening, education in community By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

While the ground is still frozen solid, the gardeners of Campus Grow continue working toward making agriculture more environmentally friendly. Campus Grow is a registered student organization devoted to promoting sustainable farming practices within the community. Elena Bozzi, a senior from Clinton Township and cocoordinator of the group, said Campus Grow is working on creating workshops for the general public and students using resources such as professors, community members and local farmers. “We also donate a lot of food to different food banks and to people that need it,” she said. The RSO wants to recruit

more members, Bozzi said, and tries to do that through efforts such as putting a table out in the Charles V. Park lobby or by the Student Service Court, in the basement of the Bovee University Center. “We need more people. We have five or so regular, solid members, but with the garden the size it is we need more people, especially over the summer,” Bozzi said. The organization tries to get food to children who otherwise would not be able to afford fresh, organically-grown produce on their own, Bozzi said. It also does smaller things throughout the year, she said, such as picking fruit in peoples’ yards who cannot pick it themselves. “I just love to be hands-on with the food I grow. It’s very rewarding to go outside and

spend time in the garden,” she said. Campus Grow’s first meeting of the semester was at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Brooks 203. During the meeting, Brazil senior Emilie Jordao, the group’s co-coordinator, discussed what it took to be an active member and laid out some ideas for the two gardens run by the organization. Jordao said she liked Campus Grow as opposed to other organizations because Campus Grow is busy throughout the year with activities. “My second meeting at Campus Grow, I was in the field being active,” she said. The group has two gardens, with a total area of about 30,000 square feet, according to its website. The larger garden is located west of Theunissen Baseball Stadium and has an area of

about 20,000 square feet. The smaller garden is on East Campus Drive, north of the Combined Services building and the Power House. It is approximately 6,000 square feet. Jordao said one of the drives to join the organization was that she wanted to start growing some of her own food, which is a notion Romeo senior Jeff Kuhns agreed with. Kuhns has been a member of Campus Grow for a year and said he is a large advocate of organic farming. “I get free vegetables and it’s good networking,” he said. “I’ve met a lot of people. We get good exercise and sometimes a nice tan. Working in the garden is good for my overall fitness and nutrition.” Kuhns said the organization was a simple and mindful one. “There is a lot of learning that goes on at the garden,

EDITORIAL | Joe Paterno death recasts light on serious allegations, issues

The bottom line Make no mistake, a legend is no longer with us. The Sunday passing of Joe Paterno, the winningest coach in college football history, was a tough pill to swallow for many. Paterno, 85, was a fixture on the sidelines at Penn State, one many admired and respected. His knowledge of the game and brazen personality — he wasn’t afraid to tell it like it was — made him an icon in the Big Ten Conference and around the country. Like his colleagues and followers in State College, Pa., we also celebrate his decorated coaching career. Paterno won 409 games

sity officials, no action was ever taken. Could Joe Paterno have done more? Of course he could have, and should have. But his passing, while sad and unfortunate, should serve as a wake-up call to other universities. The culture many university administrators and public relations officials cultivate of putting their organization first and treating it like a business simply cannot get in the way of maintaining integrity and protecting those who cannot protect themselves. If the administrators whom Paterno had informed of Sandusky’s alleged crimes had taken the necessary investigation seriously, they could have prevented more

and helped lead 250 players to the National Football League. No one else in college football history had that type of positive influence, both on and off the field, with young men. Paterno’s death, however, also recasts light on the string of serious allegations against Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant coach under him in the ‘80s and ‘90s alleged to have molested 10 boys during a 15-year span. While it has been reported Paterno was made aware of the illegal and extremely inappropriate actions going on within his program, and he reported them to univer-

evil being done, and come out as the good guys in this story. Instead, secrecy justified by claims of “protecting a legend” allowed several boys to be violated while the truth waited to be uncovered. So when the detestable truth of the matter rose to the surface, Paterno’s legend was indeed tarnished. Instead of dying at the head of the team he brought to national prominence, the team which under his direction became the starting point of many legends of their own, he died a pariah. Paterno did not do enough, but those who tried to protect his and the school’s reputation by sweeping the problem under the rug did more than any to dim their shining legacy.

Knowing your CMU sentence

I sat on a padded-wood chair outside an office in Warriner Hall waiting anxiously like a criminal looking up at a judge casting down a sentence. After being called in, I put my winter coat, hat and gloves awkwardly in a pile, scooted my chair right up next to this graduation adviser’s desk and we were off. I walked out 45 minutes later frantically trying to process what happened, and how wrong my expectations of the sentence was. I imagined myself 18 credits away from graduation or closer after this semester, and I’d graduate in December. I’m, at best, 25 credits away from graduation after this semester; if I pass my classes. Thoughts were swirling — summer classes? Take an intensive, eight-week course this semester? How will I pay for these extra classes? Where did these “other degree requirements” come from? Other advisers told me to take care of my University Programs credits, take liberal arts classes and fulfill journalism requirements and I would be good. Apparently the 24 credits of “other degree requirements,” were not known to them. The Central Michigan University advising system is flawed. Deb McAlphin was a pleasure to meet and a great graduation adviser for me. My problem wasn’t with her, it was with not meeting her until now. I was told to get my audit done about a year or semester before graduation. That’s wrong. Get your audit done earlier. Maybe once you sign your major, so you actually know what you need. I’ve heard numerous stories about people getting bombshells dropped during their audit, similar to if not worse than mine. CMU should not have hidden courses to complete tacked on at the end of someone’s time here. There should be a simple online format that you plug in your major and courses taken and it outlines exactly where you are, and what you need in a simple format. Or just plug in your Global ID and it maps it out for you. Two audits should be mandatory, the first after a year or two to explain what classes are needed, and the second senior year to see how students have done and help with finishing up. Why wait to tell students every last class they will need to graduate? That’s like waiting until the fourth quarter of a football game to actually look at the scoreboard to see if you are winning or losing. CMU, please find a better system to communicate to students exactly what they need for graduation. Students, until the university wises up, get in there for audits early and often. Don’t assume you are on the right track. Know exactly what classes you need for graduation — don’t leave it to chance.

Had he proposed free college tuition for every CMU student, the Left would have been screaming that he didn’t include free room and board, books and beer money!!! Snyder will have the details in the coming days, weeks and months. Just like he has the past 12 months! He is now running a big surplus of 650 million dolars, unemployment is down thanks to giving businesses back their tax money. Lot of good things are happening. The Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media will all criticize him. He’s not a socialist like them. Snyder is a professional CEO. Granholm was a professional socialist. Big difference. Relax and let Rick run the state. We’re in good hands. We’ve got a GOP House and Senate. We’re in good hands there. Worry about getting rid of Obama and Stabenow and Kildee’s replacement in Flint. Then, we’ll be in good shape.

Our almost perfect library Since its renovation 10 years ago, the Charles V. Park Library has served our university and community incredibly well. The library is beautifully designed, both inside and out, and has been an incredibly useful resource for me in my time at Central Michigan University. Such a thoughtfully designed and attractive structure has rightfully earned its place as a landmark on our campus — which only makes the color scheme inside even more disappointing. The shockingly unattractive blue and red paint used to coat the railings, staircases and skylights give the place a depressing state fair look that makes very little sense contrasted with the desks, bookshelves and students busy studying. When the cake and balloons celebrating little Park’s 10th birthday are put away, hues normally reserved for the birthday party of an elementary school student will continue to make the place look a little bit goofy. I don’t know exactly what swatch book the architects turned to when selecting “abandon all hope blue,” “we ruined the color red red,” or the “combine every type of toothpaste green” employed on the southern wall of the fourth floor, but my brief glance at the internet suggest there were several other options in play. The carpets are a little bit strange and some of the walls painted in colors muted into near non-existence, but it’s the railings that have kept me puzzled for nearly half a decade. The colors are neither serious, attractive or academic. Instead of evoking an intellectual response, they lead me to believe there is a bright yellow twisty slide leading from the fourth floor to a plastic ball pit. While this would be an excellent development, the sadly non-existent ball pit, like the paint scheme, has no business being in our library. Let me reiterate how much affection I have for the building; both the facilities and the people who work in it are top-notch. I have always found the staff of the library to be exceedingly helpful and kind. On a campus where some facilities feel decidedly second-rate, the library is indisputably superb. When I was a consultant at the writing center, I looked forward to working in that building every time. All of my love for what the building got right makes what went wrong even worse. It’s almost as if our campus has just been staying polite for a long time, like we’re at an excellent dinner party where the host is wearing Lady Gaga’s meat dress. There’s definitely something to be said for lightening up the mood in a place regularly filled with stressed-out people, but there are plenty of relaxing colors that don’t make me feel like I’m trapped in a “Babar”-inspired nightmare. I’m not advocating for everything to be white-washed. Maroon and gold might be nice though.

County Victim Services Unit offers comfort to those grieving from loss By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Mount Pleasant resident and Tai Ji teacher, Pat McGann-Zionts, gives Isa Henry, 3, a costume to reenact the Chinese new year dragon Sunday afternoon at Crystal Mountain Lotus Moon, 206 S. Main St.

CHINESE NEW YEAR

Tai Ji teacher shares 30-year love By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

A parade of dragons celebrated the new year Sunday afternoon at Crystal Mountain Lotus Moon. Pat McGann-Zionts stood by, encouraging those in attendance at her Chinese-inspired movement class to breathe fire, celebrating the Chinese New Year, which begins today. “Tai Ji is based on Daoism — the whole premise is if you keep to the way, the right way, then life will be good,” McGann-Zionts said. Each week McGann-Zionts shares her 30-year love of Tai Ji, a soft form of kung fu, with the community in an activity room at Crystal Mountain Lotus Moon, 206 S. Main St. “Sometimes not enough kids show up, so we have to cancel it,” said Niki Henry, mother of Isa, 3, and Reau, seven months. Henry said she saw the announcement through Crystal Mountain Lotus Moon. She said Isa most enjoyed the dragon costume she wore while in the parade.

Justin Henry led the dragon parade, followed by his wife, children and friends Andrea and Evan Devenney. McGann-Zionts tailored the class to the Henry children. McGann-Zionts read from a children’s book explaining the Chinese New Year and spoke of how it brought good luck. “No more frozen car doors, we’ll have the heat of the fire dragon,” McGann-Zionts said, while the children listened. McGann-Zionts, who wore a shawl with a Chinese dragon pattern, has studied Tai Ji for 30 years and now teaches it to seniors. “I believe in the ying and the yang, within you, you have the power in your breath to tune into your body and thus you have anger management,” McGann-Zionts said. The Tai Ji class occurs weekly, Sunday afternoons, including dancing Tai Ji movements, an opportunity to create artistic dragons through utilizing colored pencils, markets, paints, paper and cardboard. McGann-Zionts said she is hopeful that teachers will take

notice of her class to help as her aides. “I have a chronic spine disease, but Tai Ji is part of my theraphy,” McGann-Zionts said. In her class, she focuses on active listening and teaching moving meditation also known as Chinese yoga. McGann-Zionts worked as a peace educator and prevention educator. The children role-played the Chinese zodiac through the parade. “Props and role-playing help the teachings sink in,” McGann-Zionts said. The Chinese dragon is assertive, proud and protective and non-violent, she said. Donations were accepted for the class, benefitting Crystal Mountain Lotus Moon. McGann-Zionts’ love of Tai Ji started at Central Michigan University when a psychology professor wanted to learn its disciplines. “It’s a fun thing to do on a Sunday afternoon,” Niki said. metro@cm-life.com

For the last two years Margie Henry has opened her heart and extended her hand to comfort families grieving from the loss of a loved one. No matter the day or time, Henry and 14 other trained volunteers are on-call to deliver the news to the victim’s family. The volunteers are part of the Victim Services Unit implemented by Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. Henry said she has been on more than 15 calls over the past two years. Mioduszewski started the program to provide resources to people that are often shocked, confused, angry and heartbroken. In the past, he said deputies would notify the victim’s family that there had been a tragedy or death, and the families would be left to grieve alone. He felt there needed to be a change after delivering the news to a wife of a man who died in a car crash. He said he did not feel comfortable leaving her to grieve alone, which prompted him to make a change. “That really bothered me,” Mioduszewski said. “There needed to be someone there for the emotionally distressed to answer any questions or provide comfort. That’s why I started the program.” Two volunteers will go to the home, along with a deputy, and stay with the family for usually about 30

minutes until the family has their support present. There was a time where an elderly couple’s son tried to commit suicide and they stayed much longer, Henry said. Jennifer Swanson, coordinator for the program, said people need direction in times of emotional distress. “They have no idea what to do. We will not leave them alone,” she said. “We help them with funeral arrangements and tell them where they can say bye to their loved one.” Henry said everyone handles the news differently, and it’s hard to know how people will react. “You have to be prepared for anything,” she said. Swanson said she has also made calls to other family members when people aren’t capable. At times, people already have the support present they need and the volunteers do not need to provide their services, she said. “Most of the time people need us and they are so grateful,” Swanson said. She said being part of the

program is very rewarding, but difficult. “What do you say to someone who has just lost their loved one? You quickly realize it’s just your presence that matters,” Swanson said. “It’s having someone’s hand to hold or having someone to hand you a tissue.” She and Henry agreed that after they leave a family, they feel blessed and fortunate for their loved ones that are still with them. “When I come home, I count my blessings,” Henry said. “I really feel for that person. It affects me on a personal level.” Henry said the volunteers are not supposed to contact the family after they leave. “It’s hard to do,” she said. “In some cases, I have broken the rules.” Out of all the programs Mioduszewski has started, he said the Victim Services Unit means the most to him. “We have had glowing remarks,” Mioduszewski said. “It really means a lot to the families.” studentlife@cm-life.com

ISA to hold Indian Night in Plachta By Anna McNeil Staff Reporter

The culture, food and fashion of every region of India will be on display Saturday. The culture will be celebrated from 6 to 9 p.m. in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. The event will be hosted by the Indian Student Association, a registered student organization at Central Michigan University. While it will be the first Indian Night, for the past four years, ISA held Diwali Night, which largely focused on only one region. Indian Night will put the spotlight on each region of India. “There are a lot of different cultures in India. Every region has it’s own cultures, different

languages (and) foods,” said India graduate assistant Naveen Jayaprakash. After the meal, traditional foods from India made with real Indian spices, the celebration will begin. Students will perform dances from Western India. The students will be followed by a group of traditional Indian dancers who will be performing dances from across India. Two of the dances that will be performed are the Bharatnatyam, a classical Indian dance of Southern India, and the Bhangra, which is a fold dance usually performed at the time of the harvest in India from Eastern India. “Every state has a unique

style of clothing. It varies from each region and within each region, (so) the styles slightly vary from state to state,” said ISA President and India graduate student Ashita Goswami. The event is open to the public and attendance is free, said ISA event coordinator and India graduate student Soumya Ganti. “It’s just for people to come in and have a good time and to know the Indian traditional dress and to know the culture through the dances from each side of the Indian cultures,” she said. “Also it’s good for the people to know the taste of India.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Bridal expo helps couples plan to tie the knot

Physics professor leading research on lithium batteries

By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

With the glitz and glamour of a wedding comes planning, but Mount Pleasant graduate student John Roberts is leaving all that in the hands of his soon-to-be bride. High school sweethearts, Roberts and his fiancee Amber Greco attended the Bridal Expo together Sunday at the Comfort Inn & Suites Conference Center, 2424 S. Mission St. On July 14, 2012, Greco will become Mrs. Roberts when she marries her boyfriend of eight years. The high school sweethearts agreed they have a lot of work to do before their big day. With a white bag that said “bride” on her shoulder and a smile on her face, Greco looked around the Bridal Expo with her twin sister and mother-in-law to be. “I’ve been dreaming of my wedding since I was a little girl,” the Mount Pleasant resident said. “Now I get to plan it all and it’s coming true.” Mike Fox, manager of Black Tie Tuxedo Shop, said he loves talking to each bride and planning the Bridal Expo. The 30th annual expo showcased more than 40 businesses that offered ideas and services to brides in preparation for their big day. Bridal party services, photography, rental centers, catering and other businesses were at the expo to help guide future brides. “I almost need everything because we just got engaged,” Greco said. “It’s a good way to get everything all at once.” The bride said she was surprised with her engagement when she opened boxes inside of boxes, with the final box revealing a note of proposal. She said yes. “He picked out two rings, so I got to choose which one

Professor of Physics Valeri Petkov didn’t know what he wanted to be while he was growing up. “I don’t really remember when I got interested in this field,” Petkov said. “I was a kid curious in science.” In 1983, Petkov earned his master’s of physics degree at the University of Sofia in Bulgaria. He later earned his Ph.D. for physics from Sofia in 1991. It all began at the school, where Petkov taught classes from 1993-98. From there he joined the Michigan State University staff from 1999-02, where he later accepted his current position today at Central Michigan University in 2002. “I am stuck in college and (I’m) still here after 30 years,” Petkov said. One of the things Petov said stood out to him was how CMU faculty always try to help each other and be courteous. “The CMU faculty is very much knowledgeable,” Petkov said. “Masters, undergrads and college professors work with the students here.” Bradley Fahlman, a professor of chemistry and director of the Science of Advanced Materials Ph.D. Program, also joined CMU the same year Petkov did. “I have been at CMU since the fall of 2002 and have worked with Valeri on and off for the last seven to eight years on a variety of projects,” Fahlman said. Recently, they have started work on what is considered the “holy grail” in the field of battery re-

I liked,” Greco said. “He’s a smart man.” She said coming to the Bridal Expo is less stressful because of the atmosphere and the free giveaways. Greco said there was a perfect match for everything a bride needs, although she wished there were more bridal gown venders. “I got an idea for every single thing I need, so it’s perfect,” she said. One of the vendors, Marilyn’s Cakes, 4330 E. Wing Road, was a big hit for Greco. Owner Marilyn Allen has been in the cake business for more than 40 years after being inspired by her mother who decorated cakes. “This is very good exposure,” Allen said. “I love it.” Allen said it is a rewarding experience to see the bride’s expression when they see the finished product. So far, Greco has the destination and the dress planned. The couple will tie the knot at Sacred Heart Church, 209 S. Franklin St., with a reception following at Riverwood Resort, 1313 E. Broomfield Road.

She said the wedding dress was everything she thought she didn’t want. “I can’t say what it looks like, because he can’t know,” she said jokingly with her fiance at her side. Her sister and maid-ofhonor, Ashley Greco, said she came along to help with the wedding planning. “I liked the photo booth,” she said. “They let you keep the pictures.” Owner Matt Yeoman of 131 Photo Box said he has an immediate connection with his clients. “The photo booth is a new creation,” he said. Event Planner Kasey Wiltzer was looking around to get ideas for her friend’s upcoming wedding. The recent bride said this is the fourth bridal expo she has attended. “I got a DJ for my wedding from a vendor that I went to,” she said. “You can get a lot of insight when it comes to prices and things like that.” metro@cm-life.com

“We are working on the anode compartment that is now graphite in commercial batteries.” Bradley Fahlman, professor of chemistry search. Petkov’s work was published in the November issue of the Journal of Physics. “He is a world-renowned expert in the field of X-ray crystallization,” Fahlman said. “He is helping us understand exactly where the (lithium) is going when we charge our cells.” The focus of their research is the synthesis and electrochemical characterization of nanographenes for lithium-ion battery applications. In order to improve the range of Li-ion batteries, they have to improve the amount of lithium that electrodes (cathode and anode) will store, Fahlman said. “We are working on the anode compartment that is now graphite in commercial batteries,” Fahlman said. “By using nanoscale carbons, we can increase the surface area, thereby increasing the amount of lithium that can be intercalated within its structure.” In other words, people are fighting to store more room in batteries. Petkov said he, along with others within the

field, worked on the battery pack for General Motors’ green-favorite Chevy Volt at CMU. While CMU provides a high-quality education, Petkov said the research is top-notch, too. Instructors are not only expected to provide students with information, but create their own as well. “(General Motors) could have gone to other institutions like U-M or MSU,” Petkov said. “But they came here instead.” Petkov said The United States depends very much on foreign oil, so people are able to produce energy with wind and nuclear power. That is why everybody is looking into electrical cars. Whether it is his students or his research, Petkov said he cares about what he does. Petkov tells his students knowledge is not constant, and it’s changing all the time. But he said he has seen a growing problem within the field of physics. “We have a shortage of kids who like math and science,” Petkov said. university@cm-life.com

UNIVERSITY ROUNDUP:

College students working less; state enforces stricter guidelines for those failing By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

COLLEGE STUDENTS WORKING LESS, STUDY SHOWS A recent study shows undergraduate students are working fewer hours per week, and the economy is most likely to blame. The National Bureau of Economic Research reports student employment hours have dropped from 11 hours in 200008 to only eight hours from 2009 on. Many students are simply unable to find jobs in the hurting economy, and others are often more busy with school and other commitments, the State News reports. Keeping up with the demands of both school and a job is not only manageable but helpful, said Michigan State University freshman Arnett Morgan. “Students who do work 10 to 15 (hours) could actually be at a better sweet spot because they have better time management,” Morgan told the State News.

MICHIGAN PASSES PRO-BULLYING LEGISLATION Michigan legislators began working on a law last year in an attempt to help reduce the number of bullying-related suicides. Unfortunately, “Matt’s Safe School Law” — named for a student who took his life after being bullied at school — does little to prevent harassment, the Western Herald reports. The new law states that bullying behavior is justified if the student’s actions are based on a “sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction.” Critics of the law say this addendum will render the law useless, as it will allow gay students to continue to be victimized by bullies. Gov. Rick Snyder, who has spoken about his own torment by bullies during his time in school, signed the bill into law on Nov. 29.

STUDENTS CONSIDER LEAVING MICHIGAN AFTER GRADUATION Students are finding more reasons to leave the state following graduation from college, the Grand Valley Lanthorn reports. Students’ decisions to relocate often include family, friends and even Michigan’s infamous weather indecision, but are most frequently a result of the poor economy. Next Generation Consulting, a Wisconsin advising firm for professionals, reported that only 11 percent of college students believed Michigan to have enough job opportunities for their needs. Fifty-nine percent still considered staying in the state after graduation, and 30 percent were unsure of their future plans. Educations that offer realistic career experience and opportunities are the key to keeping graduates in the state, the Lanthorn reports. Michigan will only continue to hurt economically if it is unable to retain jobs and educated people to fill them.

STRICTER STATE GUIDELINES FOR FAILING STUDENTS With the growing national debt constantly posing problems for the national government, new guidelines are being enforced at universities in order to cut down on national spending. The newest of these policies will take both federal and school-funded financial aid out of the hands of students who are failing in school, the Grand Valley Lanthorn reports. Each university is handling the policy differently, but most agree that it boils down to be mostly an attendance issue. If students attend class, there really is no worry that any financial aid will be lost, the Lanthorn reports. Universities are not looking to kick students out, and only extreme cases of failure are currently being considered under the new policy. university@cm-life.com

Evaluating which women’s sport will be added C

entral Michigan Athletic Director Dave Heeke will look into adding at least one women’s sport to help meet Title IX requirements of equal scholarships to men and women. That much is certain, but let the debate begin for which sport is chosen. In a story published Jan. 9 in Central Michigan Life, Heeke said the university will begin a year-long process to gauge which sport is the most feasible. The three Mid-American Conference women’s sports not played at CMU (golf, swimming and tennis) are the most logical, but the NCAA also requires schools to look at “emerging sports” — equestrian, sand volleyball and rugby. It also helps if CMU is currently offering the sport as a club. Heeke said the current athletic budget of about $21 million would not be able to sustain another sport, leaving it up to the university to increase its subsidy to the department. CM Life analyzed the possiblelikely choices for additional women’s sports: Golf: The sport is mainstream and has been around for ages, plus it’s fairly inexpensive compared to some of the other major existing women’s sports. Most high schools around the state offer golf as a sport, a vital necessity to recruiting and marketing an athletic program statewide and regionally. Don’t forget, the Mount Pleasant area boasts several different golf courses that would fit the needs of an NCAA team. Golf is one of the most logical choices, and I would classify it as a highly-likely. Swimming: While this sport might also seem obvious, given the pool in the Indoor Athletic Complex, I’d put the likelihood of it happening as slim. Heeke has said swimming would require a brand new $20 million facility, complete with a regulation-sized pool. After recent completion of the CMU Events Center and strife over faculty contracts and university spending, there is no way the university can justify spending that type of money right now. Tennis: This is another sport likely of being adopted, given its local and regional high school participation. The installation of new tennis courts would be fairly inexpensive, A SPORT | 2B

Wrestling team continues domination of MAC

Chippewas roll over NIU Friday, fall in Ann Arbor

By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan wrestling team has won 70 of their last 73 MidAmerican Conference duals dating back to the 1998-99 season. The Chippewas have also won at least a share of 12 of the past 13 MAC titles and 10 straight conference tournament championships. “It just says that we are pretty competitive and working hard,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “I really don’t try to get caught up in that. I try to get caught up in what we need to do from week to week.” According to the MAC preseason rankings, the Chippewas were picked to finish second in the conference behind Kent State. “We have a young team so every week is real important to us as far as improvement,” Borrelli said. Freshmen Mike Ottinger and Joey Kielbasa are a combined 30-15 on the season and earned themselves a frequent spot in the starting lineup. Ottinger is 3-0 in MAC duals and is ranked first in the conference at 165 pounds. “I think we are doing well,” redshirt freshman Tyler Keselring said. “We’re on the right track and we’re doing things right in the room.

The Central Michigan wrestling team has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success this season. But in order to be labeled as one of the top teams in the nation, it must beat other top-quality opponents. CMU lost 23-14 against the University of Michigan Sunday, after defeating Northern Illinois 24-9 on Friday. “I thought we competed very hard,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “But I felt like in a few matches we beat ourselves instead of them beating us. We didn’t keep our composure and we took some bad shots.” The Chippewas had a chance to tie or win the meet Sunday trailing by three points going into the heavyweight bout. But Michigan wrestler Ben Apland halted the Chippewas comeback attempt by pinning senior Peter Sturgeon at the five-minute mark. CMU fell to 12-3 overall, but is still 4-0 in Mid-American Conference action at beating NIU. Borrelli does not think fatigue played a role in the loss. “I felt like we were pretty fresh,”

nitely can and hopefully we can receive another MAC Championship this year.” Including Saturday’s victory against Northern Illinois, the Chippewas boast a 12-3 overall record while going 4-0 in MAC play. They have outscored their opponents 92-42 in those matches. Borrelli said he does not think the competition has been weaker either. “I know our league is a lot more balanced this year than it has been,” Borrelli said. CMU faces Kent State on Jan. 29. Borrelli said he knows it will be a difficult opponent, but his team will be ready. “We’re going to compete hard and see what happens,” Borrelli said. The last CMU conference loss came on Feb. 4, 2011 against Ohio.

The Central Michigan coed cheer team placed sixth at the College Cheerleading Championships Jan. 1315 in Orlando, Fla. It was the highest the Chippewas have ever placed at nationals. “We are so proud, all of our hard work paid off,” said senior Katie Sakala. “We did excellent and enjoyed the entire journey.” The coed program also finished 10th in 2005 at the Division I-A National Championships and 14th in 2006. The all-girl team competed at nationals in 2008 and 2009, and took 7th and 10th respectively. This was first year CMU competed in Small Coed Division 1. “The other teams were much more advanced in skills since they all compete every year, but I think our team chemistry helped us achieve our goal more than any other team there,” Sakala said. Head coach Patrick Beirne said he believes that chemistry was vital for a successful season.

It was long, hitting the glass and rim before falling out, giving WMU a 64-61 victory in front of 3,958 fans. Keel and Zeigler were one 3-pointer short after hitting three between the two of them in the final 4:10, cutting an 11-point lead to four. “We drew up a play for Keel to get a catch-and-shoot opportunity and Western switched every screen, so he ended up getting denied,” Zeigler said. “It was just kind of a broken play and Austin (McBroom) tried to make a play, then I just popped up and tried to get a shot attempt.” CMU took a point lead into the halftime.

omore center Matt Stainbrook and senior forward Flenard Whitfield sparked a 10-0 run, giving the Broncos a 44-33 lead in the second half. “They made some shots and got out in transition,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler. “During that 10-0 run, we missed some shots. Those first four possessions we started the second half, we missed three wide-open shots that we forced some turnovers on and we had a chance and it could have been a run the other way.” Trey struggled to make anything in the first half, shooting 3-for-11. In the second half he stepped up. The sophomore guard knocked down 5-of-6 free throws and continuously found ways to keep his team A TEAM | 3B

Freshmen struggle in women’s basketball, lose at KSU Eat Fresh . . . Eat Healthy! By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

A late comeback attempt wasn’t enough to overcome a sluggish game for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team as it lost to the Kent State Golden Flashes 67-64 Sunday afternoon in Kent, Ohio. “I thought we battled, but we battled way too late,” head coach Sue Guevara said. “We came out much uninspired, I was unhappy with the effort and the execution of the starting five. I subbed quicker than I have in a long time, and I didn’t get the response I wanted from the bench.” Good defense and free throws aided the comeback. After a KSU free throw the Chippewas trailed 67-64 with eight seconds left. Without a timeout Jessica Green brought the ball up court and drove to the basket, but missed the layup. Time would run out on the Chippewas before

they could put up a 3-pointer. “When you’re on the floor you have to understand time and score,” Guevara said. “We had a big fat freshman mistake tonight. We had five 3-point shooters on the floor; a three would have tied it, and we didn’t get the shot off.” CMU committed five turnovers in the first five minutes of the game. Despite the struggles, the Chippewas had a 14-12 lead with 11:28 to go in the first half. That’s when the Golden Flashes started to heat up. A transition layup by Kent State freshman guard Itziar Llobet gave KSU a 22-16 lead. Moments later a 3-point shot by junior guard Trisha Krewson as the shot clock expired made it 28-18 with 7:16 to go in the first half. A 3-pointer by sophomore Niki DiGuilio made it 28-23, but KSU responded and stretched its lead to 37-26 with 31 seconds left before halftime. Freshman guard Kerby Tamm hit a 3-point shot

easy scheduling, but may require a significant amount of travel. The team could use the women’s soccer field for practices and games, eliminating the need for a new facility. But the fact remains that no other MAC school sponsors the sport at a collegiate level is a turnoff, and high school participation around the state is still limited.

with 18 seconds left to make it 37-29 at halftime. The Chippewas trailed 5036 halfway through the second half, but the 3-point shooting of DiGuilio and missed free throws by KSU got CMU back in it. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Tamm and DiGuilio made it 5650 with 4:51 to go and it appeared like CMU had the momentum, but KSU responded again and led by 10 with three minutes left. DiGuilio had a season-high 22 points to lead CMU. “This is the last time you will see her come off the bench,” Guevara said. “Niki has worked her way back into the starting lineup.” Green had 14 points and four rebounds, and Tamm added 10 points of her own. Crystal Bradford led CMU with 14 rebounds. “By the time we had a sense of urgency today it was too late,” Guevara said. “When you rely on freshmen the season gets long.

the NCAA and CMU is required to consider them, that’s as far as it will get. No other MAC school plays any of these sports at the collegiate level, which would require CMU to find a league or play schools that require lengthy travel for each game. CMU isn’t willing to jump to another conference for football, which in turn would be increase travel — why would it for a new sport that would likely fight for increased funding?

Men’s track and field team places second at Harvey Invite By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan men’s track and field team finished in second place out of four teams at the Jack Harvey Invitational on Friday in Ann Arbor. The Chippewas competition included Michigan,

Eastern Michigan and Detroit Mercy. Senior multi-event athlete Josh Kettlewell set a personal best in pole vault with a 17-01 vault. He nearly matched the indoor pole vault record of 17-06. Despite the women’s event went unscored, both CMU teams provided strong per-

formances, with 10 top-five finishes out of 16 events. Senior thrower George Flanner finished first in the shot-put with a distance of 51-00.25. Senior thrower Kevin Mays also finished first in the weight throw event with a distance of 6407.25. Sophomore Tecumseh Ad-

ix minutes and 44 seconds of basketball time stood between myself and a column about how Trey Zeigler is disappointing the Central Michigan men’s basketball fans. He shot 3-for-11 in the first half of Saturday’s 64-61 loss at Western Michigan. This was three days after shooting 3-for-12 from the field in a blowout loss against Ball State at home on Wednesday. He is hovering at about the 55 percent free-throw shooting range. At this point opponents should use the “Hack-a-Zeigler” strategy if it trails late in the game. But then my perceptions changed — Zeigler showed me why he was a four-star recruit coming out of Mount Pleasant High School in 2010. He went 3-of-4 from that point on in the WMU loss, making both his free throws, stealing the ball and creating layups with spin moves through defenders. “Coaches have been on me about being more aggressive and trying to put the game in my hands,” Zeigler said. “It just depends what the game is and how A

the game is going.” It was his game to lose Saturday. And that’s exactly what he did, missing a 3-pointer at the top of the key off a broken play. But that’s not the point. He can be what most CMU basketball fans expect. He will be what most CMU basketball fans expect. He’s fifth in the Mid-American Conference in scoring, averaging 15.8 points per game. Zeigler is seventh in the conference in rebounds, averaging 6.8. The Chippewas are no doubt a work in progress, but there are few sophomores in the MAC that I would rather build around other than Zeigler. Fans put the blame on a

star player when their team struggles, but look around. LeBron James bolted from his home state and team because he couldn’t do it alone. Nobody can win a championship alone. The pieces around Zeigler are slowly coming. Sophomore guard Derek Jackson is a high-riser with speed and athleticism. Freshman point guard Austin McBroom is a floor general and gives added stability to a position that was in shambles because of the Amir Rashid-Antonio Weary project. The inexperience that we all see as a negative will soon turn positive as this group matures. And who will be at the top of it all? Trey Zeigler. N

Borrelli said. “Our conditioning held up well today.” For the second time in three days, sophomore Joe Roth gave the Chippewas a 4-0 lead by earning a major decision over sophomore Grant Pizzo.

Ottinger improved his record to 14-6 overall. “The thing Mike does is he is really hard to take down and then he capitalizes on your mistakes,” Borrelli said. U-M would later break a 1414 tie with redshirt freshman Max Huntley defeating senior Chad Friend at 197 pounds. “I feel like we are making progress,” Borrelli said. “I think we can get much better, but I’m happy about our progress.” The Wolverines are ranked 10 in the NWCA/USA Today coaches’ poll, CMU is at 19.

Club Swim at CMU Heading to Atlanta for Nationals This spring semester the Club Swim team at Central Michigan University will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia to compete at a national level in the East Coast Championships Spring 2012. Last year at the competition there were forty-seven teams that competed from all across the country, and this year the total is planned to be fifty. The swimmers are planning to get to Atlanta by a charter bus; they have been holding fundraisers to pay for the transportation. This past October the team participated in a fundraiser at Cedar Point. For two days they worked in different positions around the park, mainly in food and beverage, for a flat fee. “The hours were really long because it was such a busy weekend, and at the

end of our shifts we were all pretty tired,” junior swimmer Evan Blinder said. “However, being with the team was a lot of fun. Although the work was rough, it made all the hard work worth it because I knew that we were all there for the same reason: to make money so we could afford more swim meets for the future.” Club President Eric Murray shared, “There are thirtyseven members on the Club Swim Team at CMU as of this past semester and it just keeps growing.” The members all have a very close bond, considering each other as family. Rob Brown, a junior swimmer explained, “We refer to ourselves as a family, not just a team.” These swimmers not only practice and compete together, but they also get together outside of swimming to hang out with one another.

This past summer they took a trip to Murray’s cottage for a weekend and frequently go out for dinner as a team. Brown and Blinder, who both plan to compete at nationals, agreed that the family atmosphere their team has gives them an edge. Murray went on to explain, “This will be an incredible experience for our team, it will give us an opportunity to go far away from home to compete in something we love to do,” He also stated, “Each year we grow as a team and this will help bring us even closer.” Swimming is just one of the many active club sports at CMU who compete nationwide.

GYMNASTICS

Coach unhappy with win against Ball State By Seth Newman Staff reporter

Just winning is no longer good enough for coach Jerry Reighard and the Central Michigan gymnastics team. CMU defeated Ball State on Saturday afternoon in Mount Pleasant 193.350 to 190.100 to improve its record to 3-0. But despite the win, poor performances made Reighard visibly frustrated. “I was disappointed in the fact that we couldn’t close it, the way I know we can close it,” Reighard said. “We actually let Ball State believe they were competitive with us, and we can’t do that. That’s not CMU gymnastics.” Senior Kristin Teubner scored a 9.8 on the vault and floor, but fell off the balance beam. “It’s not the outcome we were looking for,” Teubner said. “Me personally, I can’t fall on beam, that’s not acceptable and it will definitely change.” CMU wanted to achieve certain goals; one of them was to have an all-arounder score a 39 or better for the meet. All three all-arounders for CMU failed to do so. “We set some lofty goals for this meet that we did not obtain,” Reighard said. “I know that they are obtainable, and it’s my job to get those things to happen, and they will happen.” The Chippewas were successful on the bars. Four out of six members scored a 9.7 or better.

“We had a few highlights today, some people scored better than their best,” Teubner said. “That’s something we are always striving for.” Because of the poor performances a lot of pressure has been put on the shoulders of Teubner and sophomore Brittany Petzold. That’s a big burden for Teubner which may have felt some of that pressure Saturday. “Yeah there has always been pressure since I was a sophomore here,” Teubner said. “That’s my role here, I have to be the leader. I have to be the one getting the 9.8’s, I have to step up and be the senior I know I can be.” Freshman Rebecca Druien had the top CMU all-around score with 38.725. Druien was pleased with her performance, but still has a lot to work on. “Overall I did a lot better on certain areas,” Druien said. “I know my vault can be better, and I have to fix some form issues, the little steps.” It is the little steps that will be driving Reighard the next few weeks to beat Kent State on Feb. 11. Kent State put a 194.150 in its meet. “We are competing against a team that is in Ohio that scored a 194,” Reighard said. “I won’t rest until I know we are better than they are.” The gymnastics team is back in action 7 p.m. Friday when the team travels to Eastern Michigan. sports@cm-life.com

Q & A with alumnus, Diamondbacks starter Josh Collmenter

Josh Collmenter: In Milwaukee their fans are into the game, they had the towels going, all the sound was echoing back and forth. There were 48,000 people and they were hanging on every pitch and you can feel the tension and excitement. KL: What was it like to face the strength of that lineup of Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks? JC: It was fun because at anytime those guys can hurt you so it makes you be at your best. There are no easy outs, especially against those guys. With pitching it’s a thrill and rush because you get to control all the action. KL: What was conversation like with your parents after that game?

KL: You came to Michigan earlier to face the Tigers, what was it like to face the home state team?

KL: What’s it like to play for Hall of Famer Kirk Gibson?

JC: It was a lot of fun and it was special for me because I had a lot of fan support and to have people rooting for me that particular day and abandoning the Tigers for one day was special, not for just me, but everyone who came and seeing the stadium from inside prospective is something I’ll always remember. KL: You hear players in all sports talk about their ‘welcome to the big leagues moment,’ what was yours? JC: My second start playing against the Atlanta Braves and Chipper Jones stepped into the box. Growing up the Braves won 14 straight division titles and were always on TV. I had Braves posters in my room and for him, having rooted for him as a kid, and having him come into the batter’s box was my big moment.

JC: They got to come out to the game and it was pretty neat. You can see how proud they were. My dad is a man of few words, but my mom wears her heart on her sleeve and she had tears in her eyes.

On Oct. 4, 2011 the Arizona Diamondbacks season was on the line against the Milwaukee Brewers with a spot in the National League Championship Series in danger. Central Michigan alumnus and Diamondbacks rookie starting pitcher Josh Collmenter took the ball and won it for Arizona with seven innings allowing one run. He spoke with Central Michigan Life reporter Kristopher Lodes.

New website created to help unemployed find work in Michigan By John Irwin Staff Reporter

The state of Michigan has set up a new website designed to help unemployed workers find jobs within the state. The Pure Michigan Talent Connect, found online at MiTalent.org, offers opportunities for workers to get their names out in the open and for business owners to post job openings. The front page of the website posts easy-to-follow links that redirect Michiganders looking for work or seeking out potential employees to a “Job Portal,” where jobs are organized into different categories. The site also boasts a “Career Events” page, which contains links to different job fairs

around the state. Michigan has one of the highest unemployment rates in the U.S. The most recent report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, for November 2011, lists Michigan’s unemployment rate at 9.8 percent. Isabella County has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the state, at 5.7 percent. Nevertheless, Michigan Sen. Judy Emmons, who represents District 33, which includes Isabella County, urged unemployed workers to use the site. “The comprehensive site is designed to help connect job seekers with employers, and I encourage all mid-Michigan workers who are unemployed or looking to get ahead to take advantage of this useful job search site,” Emmons said in a

news release. Pure Michigan Talent Connect also has tools for Michiganders looking for new career or educational paths. The “Career Matchmaker” tool is used to pair up an employer’s needs and a potential employee’s skill sets. The “Career Investment Calculator” is available to help those looking to find a new career path determine how much money it will cost them with any additional education that may be required. The website also contains tools designed to help entrepreneurs start new businesses in Michigan and to help veterans find work and take full advantage of services available to them.
