Candidate policy remains unresolved Ongoing lawsuit awaiting decision By Theresa Clift Staff Reporter

The Political Candidacy Policy adopted by Central Michigan University in 2008 has several groups on campus unhappy more than three years later and has sparked an ongoing lawsuit. In December 2008, the CMU Board of Trustees adopted the policy, which requires employees seeking or holding political office to achieve administrative approval. Under the policy, employees who seek or hold a political position in any federal, state, county or local office, parttime or full-time, paid or unpaid, are required to present a statement from his or her supervisor and the vice president, provost or president of CMU. The statement must attest that “appropriate arrangements have been made to ensure that their candidacy in no way will interfere with the full performance of their university work and that their candidacy will pose no conflict with professional standards or ethics.” If the employee is found to violate this, then “an alternate relationship with the university must be arranged.” “The Faculty Association believed the policy was too vague and subject to the whims of a future administration, which may selectively try to discourage some candidacies while passing on others,” James Hill, professor of political science, said.

Creative Club offers place for students to bond

By Jessica Fecteau | Senior Reporter

very Tuesday night in the back room of the Kaya Coffee and Tea Co., 1029 S. University Ave., solitary caffeinated students are replaced by crafting supplies and conversation. Founder Jolie Masters said she started the Creative Club as a place for people with similar interests to make genuine friendships. “I feel like when you go to college you’re expected to meet all these people, and I feel like the majority of meeting people is at parties,” the Kentwood junior said. “There really isn’t anything through Central that is in the creative nature like this for a club.” Members unite and bond over the different projects they bring to work on during the, typically, three-hour meetings, she said. “It’s very relaxed and laid back,” Masters said. “There are people that just come to hang out and do their homework, too.”

Library spends $4 million yearly updating collection By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

The automated bookshelves in the Charles V. Park Library would stretch 33 miles if they were spread out side-by-side. In order to keep the nearly 1.3-million-volume collection up to date, an average of $4 million is spent on new content each year, according to Dean of Libraries Thomas Moore. “Our goal is to support the academic programs of the uni-

She said she brings do-it-yourself projects to work on and is thinking about opening an Etsy shop soon. “I’d rather have something that’s unique and personal rather than something that’s mass-produced,” Cromell said. Creativity is not a necessity for being a member, said Saline sophomore Kristine Opaleski. “You can just come and do your homework,” she said. “I am a fashion major, so it’s convenient to go somewhere and work on things and talk at the same time.” Opaleski said she recommends the friendly environment to everyone. “We’re very open people,” she said. “We all work on fun things, and we all learn from each other. And we’re all willing to teach if you’re willing to learn.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Michigan Senate Democrats propose free college tuition

c h a r l e s v. p a r k

University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro have offered to attend academic department meetings in an effort to open dialogue between administration and faculty members. The Provost’s office has attempted to schedule meetings with all of Central Michigan University’s academic departments. Ross and Shapiro have attended the meetings to respond to some of the educators’ questions and concerns about the current state of the university. Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said Thursday Ross and Shapiro plan to meet with all of CMU’s academic departments but did not know the number or which groups of faculty the provost and president had already spoken with. “There is no agenda — simply an opportunity to have a dialogue and answer questions,” Smith said in an email.

Creative Club nights are the one time Gaylord junior Rachel Cromell said she takes time to relax and think about herself. “I do homework every night, but I know this night is just for me,” she said. “During exam week, it felt more like a support group.” The club has drawn up to 19 people at one time since being founded in the fall of 2011. “A core group of eight people usually always shows up,” Masters said. “It’s a good place to meet people and learn from each other.” Cromell said the Creative Club drew her attention, because she was a transfer student looking for a place to make friends. “The first week I got here, I was terrified,” she said. “I was like, I chose this college and the professors are striking, and I felt like I picked the wrong college, but everything turned out good.”

versity and all of the university,” Moore said. “We have money that comes to us from a general fund, and we’re buying throughout the year to do that.” During the 2010-11 year, the library had a budget of $4,285,525 for purchasing materials. This budget is spread out amongst purchases of books, journals, music and DVDs for the library’s continuously updated collection. A library | 2

College tuition for all students who have had K-12 education in the state of Michigan will be virtually free if a new proposal in the state Senate becomes law. The bill, put forward by Senate Democrats, is called Michigan 2020. The plan would give a $9,575 yearly grant toward higher education costs to students who attended school, public, private or are home-schooled, within the state for their entire educational careers. Those students who attended school out-of-state for a period of time would be eligible for a percentage of that amount proportional to the number of years they were educated in-state. The median tuition level for Michigan’s public universities is $9,575. According to Central Michigan University’s website, in-state tuition costs $9,688 per year for CMU undergraduate students. “Many, if not most, of the businesses coming to Michigan now need a very well-educated workforce,” Maxine Berman, Griffin Endowed Chair, said. “If they can’t find those people here, they will bring them in from other states. Wouldn’t it be better if there were more Michigan college grads so that our own residents could get these jobs?” The proposal would be paid for by cutting $3.5 billion in corporate tax

credits and loopholes. The state currently pays out about $34 billion in tax credits annually. Senate Democrats estimate the program would cost $1.7 billion and argue the tax loopholes to be cut are products of special-interest groups and lobbyists. Berman said the tax credits should not be confused with the $1.8 billion business tax cut signed into law last year. She said an educated workforce, in addition to lower tax rates, will make Michigan a very attractive place for business. “If you believe in the job creator ideology, you would say any new taxes would hurt Michigan business,” said Political Science Professor James Hill, referring to the belief that higher tax rates stifle job creation. “If you are skeptical of this argument, you might argue that a better-educated workforce would be a net positive for prospective businesses and, in the long run, would be a plus for prospective businesses.” The proposal comes a year after public universities were hit with a 15-percent cut in funding and a decade in which funding has been cut by 65 percent. Hill said the proposal is unlikely to pass the Republican-controlled Senate soon but applauds the bill’s goals. “It is good to focus on education as a primary route to stimulating our state economy,” he said. metro@cm-life.com

On Jan. 10, Ross and Shapiro attended the school of broadcast and cinematic arts meeting, where department members expressed concerns about financial resources for future programs. According to minutes from the meeting, Ross said the 2011 summer and fall semesters were difficult times for the president, provost and campus community. The discussion was opened â&#x20AC;&#x153;to try and end mistrust,â&#x20AC;? according to the minutes. The College of Medicine was also a frequent topic of discussion at the meeting, and department members questioned whether the medical school would position CMU for the future. The minutes mention that Shapiro asserted a medical school increases CMUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruitment potential and would strengthen biology and chemistry classes within the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In five years, what is the brand that attracts students?â&#x20AC;? Shapiro said, according to the minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public perception, demand and economy and will drive course offerings. Central cannot sit still.â&#x20AC;? During the meeting, Ross indicated he wants faculty to be involved in CMUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strategic Plan and encouraged faculty â&#x20AC;&#x153;to buy into (this) visionâ&#x20AC;? he and Shapiro discussed. Ross and Shapiro will continue to meet with other academic departments throughout the semester.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably buy 10,000-12,000 books a year on the shelves and thousands more online,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We buy them everyday throughout the year, or just about.â&#x20AC;? The library also has subscriptions to 1,400 print journals and 1,200 digital journals, as well as about 100,000 digital books and 24,000 digital journals in online packages. In comparison, Michigan State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library has a budget of nearly $14 million for increasing its collection this fiscal year, said Colleen Hyslop, senior associate director of libraries at MSU. The University of Michigan spent $24.7 million last year for its library, said Kathleen Folger, electronic resources officer for the U-M library. With the constant shuffling of content into the library, there needs to be a removal process of outdated material. Subject librarians are responsible for retaining currency in the collection and weeding out the materials that are no longer relevant. Some librarians are assigned to multiple academic departments in which they have background. Books and journals that are removed from the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection may be discarded or are more commonly sold at a spring book sale to make room for updated material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an arrangement where we want cer-

The FA asked to renegotiate the policy, but the administration denied. CMU and the FA agreed to the political candidacy policy during bargaining for the 2008-11 contract, Matt Serra, director of faculty employee relations, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The administration refused to negotiate the policy, arguing that we silently agreed to it when we ratified the old contract,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. The administration then allowed the FA to bargain the procedures that would be used to implement the policy. A special faculty team was created to do so, chaired by Hill. The team drafted a procedure, which included criteria for administration to use. It stated decisions could not be made based on an employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political party, likelihood to win and their office sought or appointed to. It also included an appeals process, details of application deadlines and clarified between a conflict of interest and a conflict of commitment. The administration and FA tentatively agreed on the procedure at the beginning of the fall 2010 semester, Serra said. But the procedure has still not been implemented, because two university unions have yet to approve. Opposition In Dec. 2009, about a year

after the board adopted the policy, CMUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office professionals union (UAW ) filed a lawsuit claiming the policy was unlawful. The university filed its answer on Jan. 25, 2010, and both parties filed motions for summary disposition. On Aug. 2, 2010, the Isabella County Trial Court granted the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion for summary disposition and dismissed the lawsuit filed by the UAW. The court sided with the university in that the policy is consistent with Michigan law. The UAWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal to this decision was argued before the Michigan Court of Appeals on Nov. 2, 2011. Both parties are awaiting a decision. UAW President Karen Bellingar and UAW International Service Representative Brian Bosak both declined comment, citing pending litigation. The supervisory technical union has also not approved the procedure, Kevin Smart, director of employee relations, said. Gary Peters Gary Peters, a democrat from Bloomfield Hills, was a professor of political science at CMU and a Griffin Endowed Chair and left CMU in 2008 after winning a primary election for the House of Representatives. The advocacy policy was passed shortly after. Hill said Petersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign did not hinder his ability to serve as a professor at CMU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Peters was an excellent chair who spent the same amount of effort as

every other chair who succeeded him,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am quite proud to say that a former Griffin chair went on to become a member of Congress, and unsuccessful efforts to try to force him to leave earlier than the primary were short-sighted politically and strategically.â&#x20AC;? Peters serves the 9th congressional district, including Macomb County. He was reelected in 2010. After his district was eliminated, Peters announced he will run in the 14th district against Rep. Hansen Clarke, D-Detroit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;U.S. Rep. Peters is proud of his work at CMU and thinks that everyone has a Constitutional right to run for public office,â&#x20AC;? Jared Smith, communications director for Peters, said The policy is difficult to swallow for some political science faculty, especially since public service is part of CMUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it curious that the board (of trustees) and the administration want us to be service-oriented but then adopt a policy that makes it more difficult for faculty to run for office than it does for them to make money in the private sector,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is particularly frustrating for those of us in political science who believe running for office is not just a right but a responsibility of all citizens who care about our democracy and want to have a role in influencing our democratic process.â&#x20AC;? university@cm-life.com

Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then when something gets published that meets our profile, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sent to us.â&#x20AC;?

Thomas Moore, Dean of Libraries lions of hits on our site and journal collections a year.â&#x20AC;? The libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 360 computers and seating for more than 2,600 people make it an ideal studying environment, despite the change in popularity from print to digital. As students continue to shift their use of the library for more online content, computers and other technology become more important for students to gain access to information. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use the library three or four days a week,â&#x20AC;? said Flushing junior Andrea Conquest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I use it to study and havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever checked out a

book. The space of the library is useful, but the hard copies of books and articles are becoming less popular.â&#x20AC;? While the majority of content in the library can be seen online by iPad or computer, Moore said the library hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten to providing material for eReaders, such as the Kindle and Nook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The library should make its books available on electronics,â&#x20AC;? Conquest said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a book available electronically would be much easier than tracking it down in the library and then carrying it around.â&#x20AC;? university@cm-life.com

Subgroup to be removed in 2014 from requirements By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

Hartland resident Jessica Weston restocks shelves at Blockbuster, 911 E. Pickard St. Thursday afternoon. Weston does not use Netflix and only uses Hulu for the shows that aren’t available under her free rental policy for Blockbuster employees.

Local video rental stores not too affected by Netflix popularity Many students prefer mediastreaming service By Jackie Smith Staff Reporter

The rise in popularity of media-streaming services such as Netflix continue to spur video rental stores to close across the country, but Mount Pleasant may not be following that trend. Isha Walter, store manager at Family Video, 317 N. Mission St., thinks the location is affected, though “not in a major way.” Everything has its pros and cons, she said, as Family video caters to a different category of people than Netflix. “So I know that college students are doing more of that (watching movies online) ver-

sus the families that come in here,” she said. “They’ve got their kids that can run around and look at video games while parents look at new releases.” Illinois freshman Dan Botterman, like other students, said Netflix is “the way to go.” He recalled movie stores closing as Netflix gained users. Netflix is often on the short list of reasons why stores like Blockbuster are closing locations across the east coast and through the Midwest, according to published reports. Walter said there’s no current fear of Mount Pleasant’s Family Video closing. The local Blockbuster store, 911 E. Pickard St., forwarded Central Michigan Life to corporate media relations, which did not respond immediately to inquiries. Services like Netflix took part of the blame when Mount Pleasant’s Videoland closed

three years ago, according to an April 2009 CM Life report. The store’s owner then told CM Life she was getting fewer customers, who could have been partly drawn away by Netflix’s convenience. “(With Netflix), you sit down in your house or in your dorm room and find a movie you want to watch,” Botterman said. “It takes 30 seconds.” Botterman said most of his friends use Netflix. Ashley Troyer reached a similar consensus among her friends. The St. Clair Shores senior often uses Netflix with her boyfriend, though on her own, she still gravitates toward Blockbuster. “A lot of times I will use his Netflix account,” she said. “I like Netflix because it’s a really good deal, even though I don’t have one.” It’s the different customer

demographics that may help Netflix from being as affected in ongoing movie news. Warner Bros. is at the head of a surge this month to influence movie purchases with a delay in making DVD rentals available. The biggest chains expected to resist the push, according to Bloomberg, are Blockbuster and Redbox kiosks, while Netflix stands to have room to wait. Of all of them, Walter said video rental stores like Family Video are more personable and still have a place. “We’re the face in town. Over the past holiday season, we donated turkeys to needy families,” she said. “Netflix can’t say that they do that. Redbox can’t say that they do that. We still have to pay taxes in the community. We’re still a very wellknown face in the community.” metro@cm-life.com

Nomination begins for general elections CM Life Staff Reports

The Student Government Association is now accepting nominations for its general election. SGA is looking for students to run for student body president, vice president and treasurer, along with filling open senator positions. “Right now, we are in the unofficial campaigning stage,” said Shelby Township senior and SGA President Vincent Cavataio. The unofficial campaign stage will provide students with the opportunity to collect signatures for their petition forms. Students cannot campaign by advertising or using campaign

funds. “Currently six different tickets have been submitted for vice president and president,” Cavataio said. At 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium, SGA will be hosting an election forum where the student body president and vice president will give a brief overview of SGA positions and their responsibilities. The student body general election campaign filing deadline is Feb. 3, and official campaigning will begin Feb. 6. “I am very excited to see so many potential candidates; last year there were only two,” Cavataio said. On Monday, elections for the

senate will be held, and new student body senators will be appointed. “These elections are essential to making sure students are more aware of their leaders and who they can contact when they want to make requests,” Cavataio said. SGA Parliamentarian and Alma junior Anna Dvorak has campaign experience from when she previously ran for senator in the spring of 2011 and served as campaign manager for Cavataio. It is often encouraged to seek more than the 350 required signatures because one illegitimate signature can disqualify the entire petition, Dvorak said. She said during the official

campaigning students will be using many methods to advertise, some choose not to spend any money campaigning and rely on spreading the word during meetings. Students are given a $500 campaign limit and will be allowed to advertise and promote themselves using various techniques. Eaton Rapids senior and SGA Executive Secretary Kelly Wright said campaigning requires a significant investment of time. “Elections are important, because the students’ voices can be heard and they can address issues,” Wright said. studentlife@cm-life.com

The new competency requirements for freshmen in 2014 are part of a complete reconstruction of the University Program. The University Program currently requires students to take courses in four groups: Group I: Humanities, Group II: Natural Sciences, Group III: Social Sciences and Group IV: Integrative and Area Studies. Each group has two or three subgroups. Students enrolled at Central Michigan University in 2014 will not have to fulfill the Group IV-A requirement for Integrative and Multidisciplinary Studies, and according to the description found on the general education website, these classes are “studies concerned with the examination of an issue from an integrative or multidisciplinary viewpoint.” George Ronan, Director of General Education, said the group was chosen for elimination because of its vague description. “The subgroup didn’t seem well-articulated with the rest of the University Program,” he said. “There was no specific content tied into it and wasn’t specific enough to keep.” Ronan said the evaluation

of the University Program is long overdue. “We’re re-evaluating every single course in the University Program. Typically, a general education program should be evaluated every seven years, but ours hasn’t been touched since its development in the ’70s,” Ronan said. Rockford junior Ashleigh Kline said the removal of the subgroup will allow students to focus more on their intended majors without wasting time taking classes that may not apply to requirements in their area of study. “In most countries, students go directly into their major after high school. They are able to concentrate on learning as much as possible in their area of interest in the shortest amount of time instead of taking classes that don’t matter,” Kline said. “We should have that same opportunity.” Catherine Kelley, a South Lyon sophomore, supports the removal of subgroup IV-A and said all subgroups should be removed. “I think university programs should have the requirements to take the standard English, math, lab and speech class, but the subcategories aren’t needed,”

Associate VP Bob Martin retired Dec. 31 By Theresa Clift Staff Reporter

Bob Martin retired on Dec. 31 after more than 10 years as Associate Vice Provost in Faculty Personnel Services. A search committee has been formed to find his replacement, chaired by College of Science and Technology Dean Ian Davison. The position will be renamed executive director of faculty personnel services, said Director of Public Relations Steve Smith. Martin was a member of the university bargaining team for the Faculty Association’s 20112014 contract dispute, which lasted about seven months. He was hired on Sept. 28, 2001 and submitted his retirement letter on June 30, 2011, Smith said. June 30 was the same day the previous FA contract expired. “He had been looking forward to retiring from Central Michigan University and his career for several months,” said Ann Miller, director of faculty employment and compensation for FPS. Matt Serra, director of fac-

ulty employee relations, and Ray Christie, vice provost of academic administration, were on the team alongside Martin. Christie said he will miss Martin and his contributions terribly. “Bob Martin served the university in a very challenging position and did so for more than a decade,” Christie said. “Bob’s performance was exemplary. He was always driven to protect the interests of the university as a whole, and he did so while being fair to all concerned.” Serra said he was fortunate to have worked closely with Martin for the past four-anda-half years. “He is a fantastic mentor, a great leader, an expert negotiator, a brilliant employee relations mind and a friend,” Serra said. “While employed at CMU, he always kept the university’s best interests in mind in everything he was involved in and always operated with complete integrity.” Martin could not be reached by press time. university@cm-life.com

Harvard Law School Professor delivers MLK Week keynote speech Lani Guinier talks race, class issues in Plachta By Anamaria Dickerson Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students and Mount Pleasant residents came together Wednesday night to see keynote speaker Lani Guinier in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. The event, hosted by the Multicultural Academic Student Services, featured Guinier speaking about race and class issues in America. Guinier said she has known since she was a young girl she wanted to be a civil rights activist. “I was 12 years old when I knew I wanted to be a civil

rights activist,” Guinier said. “I watched Constance Baker Motley and James Meredith on TV as Motley took Baker to the University of Mississippi, which was an all-white school at the time.” Guinier was the first African American to be appointed to a tenured professorship at Harvard Law School in 1998 and talked about the problem of race and class having more to do with financial issues than race issues. Assistant Director of Multicultural Student Services Keisha Janney said there was a strong interest from University President George Ross to have Guinier speak on campus. “I did not expect the auditorium to be filled,” Janney said. “It’s fascinating to see

so many students interested in her message.” Janney said the university paid Guinier a $17,000 fee to come give the speech. Guinier gave several examples of these issues by relating it to what Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. “I thought it was very interesting,” said Grand Ledge sophomore Sarah Robinson. “It was an informative, uplifting speech with practical, specific examples.” Like Guinier, King fought for equality among people of every race and Detroit senior Jerell Erves said he thought Guinier did a good job reiterating the need for unity. “She did an excellent job,” Erves said. “She promoted unity among all people and MLK Jr. did that as well by demonstrating a lifestyle

that supported love.” Guinier said there has been an economic downward spiral because of race, and more money is being spent by politicians on building prisons rather than higher education institutions. She said there are more people incarcerated in the U.S. than any other country. Marshall senior Justin Miller said he believes learning from each other and cooperation will lead to social cohesion. “She brought up the difference between race and class and how because they’re so interchangeable they create each other,” Miller said. Cole said she believes King is still relevant today because his dream isn’t yet accomplished.

“There is still poverty and discrimination that exists,” Cole said. “He (King) would be honored, but not ful-

filled, because there is still room to grow.” studentlife@cm-life.com

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” – The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL | Passing bill would stifle potential online job growth

SOPA hurts consumers, creators P

iracy is economically costly, but pirates are technologically savvy.

It seems unlikely bills as broadly written and surface-level directed as the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act would actually curb the machinations of those on the razor’s edge of information technology and would instead only get in the way of regular, law-abiding users. The bill directed at protecting a small percentage of copyright holders’ profits has the potential to effectively destroy the way the most vibrant and productive parts of the Internet operate. In a bleak economic climate, it makes very little sense to clip the wings of one of the few aspects of U.S. business that shows continued exponential growth.

It may sound melodramatic, but the Internet is the defining hallmark of human engineering and ingenuity. Nothing of this magnitude and scope has happened to human culture ever before, and it is still expanding. The Internet has been technological, commercial and creative marvels since their advent, but the events of the past year, particularly the Arab Spring, have demonstrated the social and political importance of online interaction. We are, more than ever before, an interconnected species. Tampering with the rules of the Internet while we are only beginning to get a glimpse of its

true potential is a backward and uninformed idea that reeks of corporate influence. Media corporations have put up serious fights when frightened by new technology before. But the VCR did not destroy the movie industry, cassettes and compact discs came without making radio obsolete, and there’s no reason to think YouTube and Tumblr will spell the end of popular culture. Rather than imposing shortsighted rules to maintain increasingly irrelevant business models, Congress should celebrate the efforts of those who embrace the new potential for economic success of online interactions. They need only look to the example of popular comedian Louis C.K., who recently released an exclusive stand-up performance on his website with absolutely no

protection against piracy for the price of $5. By trusting consumers and offering them an easy and affordable way to access his product — completely unlike the convoluted and backwards rights-protection processes big media imposes on its customers to retain a profit margin — he made hundreds of thousands of dollars with absolutely no middleman. C.K.’s success and many others like it show that in the future business will be done and money will be made differently in the future, but they will still happen. Shackling the Internet’s growth in the U.S. to perennially stubborn and selfish groups like the MPAA and RIAA could be one of the worst decisions Congress ever makes.

Why I still believe in love When I was 17 years old, I would have never thought I would meet someone who I would fall in love with that would forever change my life. I was a junior in high school when I met the guy I would go on to date for three-and-a-half years. The story of how we met is simple and short: we met through my cousin, because they’re best friends. Sure, I thought this guy was nice and cute, but I wasn’t interested in anything beyond that. I was content hanging out with my girlfriends and doing stuff like shopping and having sleepovers. To have a boyfriend, a long-term serious one at that, just wasn’t on my list at the time. That all changed when this guy became a sophomore, and we were at the same school together. I didn’t think much of it at the time, because there were several other new sophomores coming to the school, so I thought, what was one more? We started dating not too long after school began, and the relationship, like any other at the beginning, was new, fun and thrilling. I didn’t think anything could go wrong. But as we got older and grew up, we also grew apart and changed. We fought a lot more, and it seemed like the relationship was doing more harm than good to both of us. It was around early last year that our relationship of nearly three-and a-half-years ended for good. I was upset and it felt like my heart had literally been broken. I couldn’t wrap my mind around how things could go from being so great to simply ending. I didn’t understand how someone could just leave a relationship that long without any feasible explanation. Nearly a year later, I’ve gained a new perspective. While he and I may not have worked out forever like either of us had planned, I don’t have regrets about our relationship or feel like I’ve given up hope that I can find love again. I know it will happen. I am sure of that by looking at the relationships of my family members. My brother was engaged once before, but eventually broke it off, and my sister was married once before and got a divorce. The reason I look to these examples is because even though unfortunate things happened to them, they ended up getting a second chance at love with someone else. My brother is now happily engaged again, and my sister happily remarried. It is because of them that I believe in second chances. Break-ups are hard, but many times saying goodbye to one relationship opens the door for another, better one.

[your voice] Comments in response to “The great debate: Are leggings pants?” Amanda Jaczkowski, Wednesday Leggings are NOT pants. I don’t like them in general, but if you put them under a super-long shirt or a skirt, then I’m down with you wearing them. I just really have no desire to see your butt (sorry guys). Girls, get some respect, and leave something to the imagination. chipawhat, Wednesday THEY ARE NOT PANTS! My biggest pet peeve is when girls try to pull them off as they are. My rule of thumb is I do not wear leggings unless my butt is covered. The worst part is that half of the girls who wear them do not realize that unless they are a more expensive or just a better-made pair...THEY ARE SEETHROUGH!! I_Was_A_Teenage_McCarthyist, Wednesday I’m so glad that this got a full page. It’s not like the federal government is attempting to censor the internet on a massive scale (simultaneously breaking basic internet security to serve the interests of groups like the MPAA), while numerous websites have blacked themselves out in protest for the day.

CE, Wednesday Can we please get a two-for-one sale on EZ and Enos?! These are horrible, horrible hires! GS, Wednesday Was at the game tonight. Very poor fundamentals all game for the Chips. McBroom couldn’t keep his man in front of him, big guys aren’t boxing out and absolutely terrible shot selection. Whatever their base offense is, they need to change it, because passing the ball around the perimeter hoping that someone gets open will not work. Hopefully, the coaches can recognize the success they have when they get the big guys involved. Until they do, this team will keep losing. CMU Alum ‘78, Thursday Basketball is a simple game. If you do not make baskets, you do not win. I know that seems terribly understated and terribly obvious, but again...it’s a simple game. If you stick to the basics (like Parfitt used to drill into the guys when he was coach), and practice on your weaknesses, practice, practice, practice those free throws, play defense with your feet not your hands, you will win games. Comments in response to “Two departments endorse Academic Senate vote of no confidence against Ross, Shapiro” Chip, Wednesday Who cares? As if the faculty union stooges aren’t going to be against the

administration, specifically the president. The president is a Democrat. He was hired by the Board of Trustees, of which a majority are Democrats appointed by then-Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm. The faculty union membership is mostly Democratic. They are complaining about one of their own. If they think it’s bad now, wait until the majority of the Board of Trustees are tea party Republicans appointed by Republican Governor Rick Snyder. Creative_destruction, Wednesday Does anyone really care what the opinions of these very, very soft science programs are ? I certainly don’t. 912, Wednesday Unanimous or near-unanimous votes in two departments that have acted on this, huh? And with many more departments to follow, I’m sure. So much for Sarah Opperman’s claim that it was just a few disgruntled faculty members behind these no-confidence votes. destruction2, Thursday The only thing they are angry about is the Med school and that they have to share the University revenue pie with them. Translation: They will not get the raises they want. Yeah right, it is always about the students. B.S!

Snyder’s missed opportunities

On Wednesday, Gov. Rick Snyder gave his second State of the State address—as usual, the Governor painted a sunshiny picture, while the Democratic response painted a gloomy picture, and pundits criticized the speech for lacking details. Ultimately, it is hard to go into much detail in a short speech, and the State of the State is not supposed to be a speech of details. That being said, Snyder had some missed opportunities. By not going into the details of the Emergency Financial Manager law, he failed to address false criticisms that it is based in racism or union-busting, and while the new law is flawed, the flaw is in its implementation, not its purpose. Details on K-12 and higher education funding would have been nice to include, even if it was just a general outline. On the other hand, Snyder nailed the issue on the head when he said we need to make sure people are “not just college ready but careerready.” Snyder also summarized what his administration has accomplished: overseeing the state during a 1.9 percent drop in unemployment (larger than the national average), passing a budget on time, repealing the Michigan Business Tax and reforming government transparency. He also stressed that more work still has to be done. The road funding formula is 61 years old, and he wants to change that, saying, “The state cannot afford to neglect the health of our infrastructure.” Snyder addressed two transportation issues with southeast Michigan. The first was the need for a regional public transit system, something long overdue in Metro-Detroit. The second issue is a bit more controversial: the Detroit River International Crossing—a second bridge from Detroit to Windsor. Legislation for the bridge has failed to make progress in the Senate, and the project has stalled for the moment. Snyder encouraged the legislature to move forward with the project, citing “it’s not a bridge issue; it’s a jobs issue,” and special interests should not get in the way. While catchy, the line he used was flawed, since it is more than just a jobs issue. That being said, we can go forward with this project without taxpayer dollars, and it will both bring revenue into the state as well as ease congestion at the border crossing, so the time has come for the legislature to move forward with the project. The last main point was government’s “role is not to create jobs, but to create an environment that creates job creation.” This is an area his administration has had success in, but more work can be done, especially eliminating pointless regulations, several of which he highlighted. Overall, the speech was a good one, even if it was lacking in a couple key areas; Snyder did a good job of highlighting accomplishments as well as goals for the coming year, and hopefully the state can continue its path to recovery.

Snyder promises no further cuts to higher education in state address by up to seven percent. During his address, Snyder called on lawmakers to usher in an “era of innovation” for Michigan. He also noted his administration ended the Michigan Business Tax, which he called “just plain dumb,” prompting loud cheers from the Republican lawmakers in attendance. Snyder began the speech by touting the accomplishments his administration achieved in 2011, chief among them the unemployment rate falling to its lowest level in three years, at 9.3 percent. Snyder expressed disappointment that obesity rate remained at more than 30 percent and announced a new program designed to fight childhood obesity, called Pure Michigan Fit. Snyder said more progress is needed to be made on college readiness for students. Less than 20 percent of Michigan students are college ready, he said. “We need to be 100 percent college and career ready for our students,” Snyder said. Snyder also made bringing down crime levels around the state, and specifically in Detroit, Flint, Saginaw and Pontiac, a priority for 2012. He announced in March he will speak on crime in the state and ways to bring down the crime rate. He renewed his calls for a government-owned bridge to Canada and a rapid transit sys-

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder promised no further cuts to education in this year’s budget after his second State of the State address Wednesday night. Snyder has come under fire for signing funding cuts for the state’s public universities and reducing aid for K-12 schools over the past year. “Our intention is, from where we were last year, is hopefully invest more in education,” Snyder said in an interview with the Detroit Free Press. Kathy Wilbur, vice president for development and external relations for Central Michigan University, said this is welcome news following years of funding cuts for public universities. “Obviously, we’re thrilled. We’re very pleased by what the governor promised,” Wilbur said. “We’ve had to take some very significant cuts to the universities in the past.” Funding for universities was cut 15 percent last year and has been slashed by 65 percent over the past decade. “Unfortunately, most schools look at tuition increases to offset cuts to funding,” Wilbur said. Tuition was increased by $12 per credit hour, or 3.47 percent, this academic year for CMU students, and other universities around the state increased their tuition rates

tem in Detroit to create jobs for the state. He again called on Congress to create a new health insurance exchange in order to comply with the federal Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, drawing cheers mainly from the Democratic caucus. The governor praised the state’s budget surplus and called on the federal government to look to Michigan as an example of how to deal with deficits. He also defended his controversial appointments of emergency financial managers to cities and school districts statewide. Occupy protesters chanting “Recall Rick!” outside the chamber were heard during the speech. Political science professor James Hill said in an email the speech was predictable and lacked specifics, which is typical for an election year. All of the House of Representatives is up for re-election this year. “There were no surprises or bold moves,” Hill said. “He gave more details about outhouse regulations and his weight loss progress than he did about the key issues facing the state including the Detroit financial crisis and the controversial revised Emergency Financial Manager Law. (The speech was) neither inspiring nor particularly informative.”

FBI definition of rape changed, now includes males as victims Officer Jeff Browne said he typically does not see men reporting sexual assault. “From my experience, most men don’t report because of embarrassment,” he said. “In the 14 years I’ve been an officer, I’ve never taken a sexual assault case with a man.” Director of Sexual Aggression Services Stephen Thompson said the new definition will have a major effect in those states that do not classify male assault as a sex crime. The number of victims could increase, he said, because the broader definition will increase the number of people who will be identified as sex crime survivors or victims. “Michigan has had model laws since 1975,” Thompson said. “These changes bring federal law and definitions more in-line with Michigan. The main difference now is Michi-

The U.S. Department of Justice has changed the definition of “forcible rape” to include men and the type of sexual assault. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Report spells out the changes, allowing more people to be able to report rape as a crime. Before, the FBI defined rape as the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. The new definition does not reference males or females and states; “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information

gan recognizes contact with breast, genital, buttock area as a sex crime, (but) the feds still only recognize penetration.” The best way victims and survivors come forward is when they feel people will listen and believe them, Thompson said. If the perception by survivors is that people will listen, then yes, more will come forward, he said. Regardless of definitions, the public needs to understand the realities of sexual aggression from a knowledge base of fact and not operate from an attitudinal base formulated by myths, Thompson said. “Education is the key,” Browne said. “Victims blame themselves, and more people need to try and understand their stories.”

frame is narrowed down. In these tapes, the police look for any suspicious activity that may lead them to the perpetrator, Yeagley said. He said the police are close with the pawn shop in Mount Pleasant, so when something is stolen, they can go and search for that specific item. Stolen items have been located there a couple of times, Yeagley said. To prevent such burglaries from happening, several precautions are taken. Every incoming freshman is required to sit through a presentation showing a set of scenarios that can happen if their doors are left ajar and expensive items are left exposed. Through this orientation event, residents are encouraged to mark belongings, leave nothing valuable in plain sight and always lock doors when the room is vacant, Yeagley said.

“We’re all about efficiency and effectiveness,” Ronan said. “That’s why we cut group IV-A. Without it, the University Program is more continuous with courses

students have to take elsewhere in their education and students can hopefully merge credits.”

A lack of reporting could be to blame for the decreased number of burglaries in residence halls and apartments. According to the campus safety report from September, campus burglaries have gone from 34 in 2008 to 16 in 2011. When something is stolen from a residence hall, the protocol for the hall staff is to encourage the party involved to file a report. “We surrender to the police and let them handle it,” James Span Jr., Campbell residence hall director said. Span said burglary is something he rarely sees in his residence hall. He said the security for residence halls is good, with doors both closing and locking automatically. Alisha Millis, property manager of Jamestown Apartments, said she has not had any major concerns with burglary.

“A lot of them don’t report it,” Millis said. Samantha Houser, apartment supervisor for Kewadin Apartments, agreed there have been few reported instances of burglaries. A GPS was stolen from Kewadin Apartments, but other than that incident, the complex has been very quiet, Houser said. The security process when an item is stolen from an apartment is very similar to the policy at residence halls. “After the report is made, all we can do is turn it over to the police,” Houser said. Central Michigan University Chief of Police Bill Yeagley said after the report is filed, a number of things happen. “Once we’re aware of the incident, we go to the scene, take pictures and try to predict a time frame,” Yeagley said. When such a crime happens in the residence halls, surveillance tapes are searched once the time

Flipping roles Samantha Piotrowski looks to lead after career-ending injury By Seth Newman | Staff Reporter

enior Samantha Piotrowski lay on the mat in disbelief after landing awkwardly on her arm during a practice series of flips. “When I heard the pop, I felt uncertainty,” Piotrowski said. She instantly erupted in tears, and soon the rest of her team surrounded her sobbing. Piotrowski ruptured her ulnar collateral ligament, and just like that, the Central Michigan gymnastics senior captain’s career was over. “It was life-changing when I found out it was careerending,” Piotrowski said. “After doing gymnastics for 18 years — it was devastating.” All her teammates could do was wipe away their tears, circle up and pray as she left practice. But Piotrowski is not feeling bad for herself, leaving the program and moving on with her life. She’s doing the one thing an injured captain can do: Be another coach and a leader.

“Well I definitely think that as a senior, that the experience that I have, even the juniors and sophomores lack,” Piotrowski said. “As a senior I think it’s my job to lead by example.” The ulnar collateral ligament injury in her elbow happened Dec. 30, nine days before the team’s first meet. She still went to that first meet; but as an inspirational leader instead of a performer. The Naperville, Ill., native will continue to lead the team as captain even without competing. One of her goals as leader will be keeping the team calm in pressurefilled atmospheres. “Especially when there is a competition setting where there is pressure,” Piotrowski said. ”Keeping

your head on straight, keep poised and do things that you practice in the gym everyday.” Head coach Jerry Reighard expects Piotrowski to lead, too. “Her role obviously has changed, but she is still the captain of the team,” Reighard said. “The underclassmen have looked to her over the last three months, and that’s not going to change. They still need to depend on her to be there to inspire them, and that’s a role that she will make.” She plans to be another coach for the team. “I’m one more eye in the A ROLES | 8

CMU looks to snap two-game skid at WMU Last Friday, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team was in first place in the Mid-American Conference West division and preparing to face 1-13 Northern Illinois before returning home. A week later, the Chippewas (7-10, 2-2 in MAC) are falling fast, currently in fourth place and heading to Kalamazoo to face rival Western Michigan (8-10, 2-2) with hope to stop a twogame losing streak 2 p.m. Saturday. CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler said the Chippewas have to shoot better, among other things. “We have to trust each other,” he said. “The issue for us is getting off to a good start defensively.” The Broncos lost 62-59 in overtime against rival Eastern Michigan Wednesday night. BALL STATE BEATS DOWN CMU Tyrae Robinson scored 15 first-half points and Tyler Koch scored nine second-half points, both had careerhighs in the Ball State men’s basketball team’s 73-52 victory against Central Michigan Wednesday night at McGuirk Arena in front of 1,541 fans. “Our guys did a great job of recognizing who had the hot hand,” BSU head coach Billy Taylor said. Robinson and Koch entered the game as the team’s fourth and sixthleading scorers respectively. The Chippewas limited the touches for the Eagles leading scorer Jarrod Jones,

who finished with four points. The focus on Jones forced the Cardinals to look elsewhere. “Tyler was able to make shots for us,” Taylor said. “Tyrae Robinson was able to make shots, so fortunately we had some guys step up and make shots since Jarrod didn’t get his normal touches.” Robinson outscored CMU 15-12 with 6:30 remaining in the first half. Ball State made it difficult for the Chippewas leading scorer. It wasn’t until 4:18 remaining in the half before guard Trey Zeigler scored. He finished with six points on a lackluster 3-of-12 shooting, below his team-leading 16.4 points per game. “He struggled tonight, amongst everyone on our team,” Ernie Zeigler said about Trey. “He just has to be able to continue to work and put himself in position to be more efficient himself as well. He, along with his teammates, have a lot of work to do.” With 11:33 remaining in the half, it was 15-11. CMU never got closer, going into the locker room trailing 38-22, just in time for Koch to heat up. Taylor felt like his team was ‘very unselfish.’ It was opposite for Ernie. “Everybody started trying to do it themselves, versus moving the ball, cutting hard and playing off each other as we had been doing previously,” Ernie said. CMU players were unavailable for comment during the post-game press conference. sports@cm-life.com

MEN’S BASKETBALL

By John Manzo Senior Reporter

It was a struggle from start to finish for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team as it lost in Ypsilanti to Eastern Michigan Thursday night 73-60. The Eagles (12-6, 4-1 MAC) got out to a quick 10-0 lead to start the game and did not let up, going up 20 points in the first half. Both teams came into the game 3-1 in the MAC fight for sole possession of first place. Freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey had 10 points for CMU (11-8, 3-2) in the first half, but EMU senior guard Tavelyn James outdid her with 19 at halftime. “(EMU) was being really aggressive with us,” assistant coach Heather Oesterle said. “We’ve got to be more intense, physical, and we have to match them.” The Chippewas couldn’t match the Eagles first-half productivity in the second half, but they did step up their intensity. CMU cut a 20-point deficit down to seven points with 6:34 to go and held James to zero points in the second half. “It was too big of a hole to get out of against a team like this,” CMU head coach Sue Guevara said. “Our youth showed itself quite a Sue Guevara bit today.” Guevara started junior guard Jalisa Olive at the point over sophomore guard Kylie Welch. At halftime, the Chippewas had 16 turnovers, and Guevara wanted a change. In the second half, they had just eight turnovers with Welch running the offense. “(Welch) played smart,” Guevara said. “I thought (Olive) could come in and give us that quickness defensively, and it’s not that she didn’t, but our offense wasn’t going.” Bracey finished the game with a team-high 16 points, while Johnson contributed with 15 points, and freshman guard Jessica Green had 12 points. CMU will be looking to shake off this loss and rebound at 2 p.m. Sunday at Kent State. “Our shooters have to come out, and our shooters have to score,” Guevara said. “Between DiGuilio, (Kerby) Tamm and LaDuke, we’ve got to get some scoring out of them.”

The Central Michigan wrestling team will begin a difficult four-game stretch this weekend against MidAmerican Conference foe Northern Illinois and No. 10 Michigan. “I think it’s a great opportunity for our guys,” Chippewas coach Tom Borrelli said. “Move up in the rankings, make a name for themselves and get a victory against a quality opponent.” No. 19 CMU will host the Huskies Friday at 7:30 p.m. before traveling to Ann Arbor to wrestle the Wolverines 2 p.m. Sunday. InterMat has seven Michigan wrestlers placed in the top-20 in their respective weight division. Undefeated NIU wrestler Brad Dieckhaus dropped out of the rankings, because he did not participate in the Huskies last duel. In the next 3-of-4 CMU matches, the opponents are ranked in the NWCA/USA Today Coaches Team Poll. The Chippewas believe they are up for the challenge. “Just take it one match at a time, battle, keep it close, and beat them at the end,” CMU wrestler Joey Kielbasa said. “That’s what you got to do against those really good guys.”

he Central Michigan men’s basketball team is young. It can’t be changed this season. Center Andre Coimbra is the only senior starter, and it is only his second year on the team. There hasn’t been a consistent leader on the team, both on and off the court. Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler should be the favorite as the team leader. He was the most highly recruited and has the ability to lead the team through his play. He has been benched twice for violating team rules, despite scoring a team-high 16.4 points per game. Sophomore guard Derek Jackson has played well throughout the season but found himself on the wrong side of the out-of-bounds line during the start of Wednesday’s 73-52 loss against Ball State at McGuirk Arena.

CMU No. 1 Ben Bennett and No. 2 Dieckhaus 184-pound matchup is in jeopardy as a result of Diekhaus having a foot injury. “(Diekhaus) is close to 100 percent, but the coaches may decide to hold him back until after this weekend,” Huskies media relations member Michael Benson said via email. It would be the first meeting between the wrestlers as a result of Bennett moving up a weight class this season. CMU freshman Joey Kielbasa will wrestle Matt Smith of NIU who’s third in the MAC and No. 9 Eric Grajales of Michigan. A heavy sleight for one day of rest in between.

ture them and hopefully keep them on a path. When they are focused and have a sense of purpose, there is a lot of talent there, but it’s more than just talent.” Whether it’s on or off the court, the positive consistency hasn’t been there. Off the court issues have forced different starting lineups throughout the season, and inconsistency from different players has shown. Trey entered Wednesday’s loss shooting 55.1 percent from the free-throw line. He decreased that percent, shooting 0-for-3. He also shot 3-of-12 from the field.

Junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto scored a career-high 23 points against UC-Irvine on Nov. 25, 2011. He hasn’t done it consistently, only scoring double-digits four times in 17 games. “Right now, there isn’t that type of leadership within that group because of the youth and some of the freshness of just being a part of the program or being Division I,” Ernie said. “Some guys aren’t quite ready to do it, and the guys that need to do it aren’t mature enough to do it yet.”

Kielbasa emerged from the shadows of fellow freshman Mike Ottinger in CMU last duel against Eastern Michigan. He clinched an 11-3 decision that resulted in the last lead change of the duel. “Very few true freshmen start, so for him to be starting as a true freshman, both him and Mike Ottinger is pretty unique,” Borrelli said. “For them to be competing on the level they’re competing on as a true freshman is really good.” Kielbasa is becoming more acclimated to the college game. “(The season) started off really slow. I’m starting to get into it a little bit.

our seniors, as their final send-off. It was the best feeling. It was really fun.” Piotrowski certainly won’t let her injury stop her from achieving the next goals she has in life. “Well, I’d like to work in some sort of broadcasting area, focusing on sports. I’d like to work with College Gameday, be the Erin Andrews (ESPN sideline reporter) type deal,” Piotrowski said. “But first, I’m going to try and be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.” sports@cm-life.com

Starting to believe in myself a little bit,” Kielbasa said. “Hopefully my season starts going off like my last match.”

TWO CHIPPEWAS WERE NEARLY WOLVERINES Kielbasa and Bennett had thoughts of donning the maize and blue uniform before choosing the Chippewas. But they both felt more comfortable with the coaches at CMU. Kielbasa was closer to choosing Michigan. He got acquainted with the Wolverines coaching staff. “I decided (Central Michigan) was a better place for me. Better coaches here,” he said. “I’m excited to wrestle Michigan.” sports@cm-life.com
