GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Journalism professor brings international approach to CMU; wins scholar award

By Justin Hicks | Staff Reporter

Journalism is a tool used universally to educate the masses and keep an eye on those who hold power.

Despite being a common structure across the world, the field’s specifics vary from country to country.

Elina Erzikova knows firsthand about the practice of journalism in both her native country of Russia and the U.S. which she calls home today.

Growing up in Uzbekistan, she experienced the evolution of journalism as the country gained and lost its freedom of the press.

Mikhail Gorbachev allowed the press to gain freedom when he came to power in 1988, but since then, Vladimir Putin has moved Russian journalism backward.

“Like a flashback, censorship has begun again,” Erzikova said. “Today, the Russian government has been successful in framing people who question and challenge their regime as unpatriotic.”

Aside from the extended freedom, American journalism serves its audience differently as well.

“The western audience wants to get news, but not

opinion,” Erzikova said.

“They say give me facts and I can figure out for myself what to do with the information.’

“Russians, on the other hand, look at journalists as conversation partners,” she said. “They want you to communicate your opinion, though of course it should be based on facts.”

Erzikova said she doesn’t see one form as better or worse than the other, but rather each nation acts to fulfill the desires of its audience.

During time of war, Russian journalists’ responsibilities expand past simply writing.

“Journalists were physically present in the warzone, so imagine how much respect these journalists had that rebels negotiated with them,” Erzikova said. “The rebels would not negotiate with the Russian government, but would with journalists.

The Russia native suffered a culture shock when she came to the U.S. nine years ago.

While working for a Russian newspaper, she did public relations work for an orphanage and an HIV and AIDS nonprofit organization.

“In Russia, journalism is public relations,” she said.

“You don’t have advertisers.

You have government resources and you become a PR agency for the government with a contract to cover their activities.”

Making her mark at CMU Erzikova moved to the U.S. in 2003 after earning her bachelor’s degree from Tashkent State University.

She continued her education by attending the University of Alabama, where she earned her master’s degree and Ph.D in mass communications with an

emphasis on international journalism and public relations.

In 2008, Erzikova attended a job fair in Chicago where she met Maria Marron, chairwoman of the journalism department at Central Michigan University.

Of the potential employers she talked to, Erzikova said Marron impressed her the most because she was personal, rather than bringing salary up to initiate conversation.

“She said ‘We are in Michigan’ and pointed to her hand,” Erzikova said. “I liked how she started conversation with that — it was very personal. Tell me something personal, something interesting.”

Erzikova applied and began working for CMU in 2009 as a journalism and public relations professor.

“She brings enormous enthusiasm for teaching and research to the department,” Marron said. “She encourages her students to think and work creatively, and, to quote her, she lives for research.”

Several men will trade in their sneakers for a pair of red high heels Wednesday night.

Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates is hosting its fifth Walk a Mile in Her Shoes educational event from 5 to 10 p.m. in Finch Fieldhouse.

In an effort to raise awareness of sexual assault, by walking in “her” shoes, men can have a very small taste of what it is like to be a woman and show support for women who have been victimized, said Anne Milne.

“Anyone who attends can expect to watch all the entertainment of watching men walk in heels,” the Greenville graduate student said. “They can also expect to see at least our SAPA men trying to do the Cupid Shuffle and maybe even the hustle in their red pumps.”

A new bill could make it easier to impose sanctions on drivers with unpaid parking tickets.

If a Michigan driver has six or more unpaid parking tickets, they could have trouble getting their license renewed, or have to pay more for it. Approved by the House of Representatives in

January, the bill, now in the Senate, would lower that number to three unpaid tickets.

Assistant City Manager Nancy Ridley said Mount Pleasant does deal with parking tickets, but the number left unpaid isn’t overwhelming.

“As of the end of December, 2011 our records show that we have approximately 4,800 tickets unpaid,” she said.

“This is from a total of 93,800 tickets that have been issued since Jan. 1, 2000.”

That translates into a little more than 5 percent of the total remaining unpaid.

The tickets that do get paid provide a substantial portion of revenue.

“The amount of revenue the city collects from parking fines each year is approximately $110,000 city-wide,” she said.

Luckily for many Central Michigan University students, Parking Services Specialist Dori Foster said parking tickets from CMU Parking Enforcement do not count toward a person’s driving record.

Former Central Michigan University faculty colleagues teamed up with design students and volunteers to make over a nonprofit Midland shelter for abused women and children.

Nikita Murray, program coordinator for children and teenagers at Shelterhouse in Midland, said she was working on several projects involved in enhancing youngclient areas of the shelter when the project came together. Needing some help with design, she immediately thought of Brenda Skeel and her students. Skeel, a fixed-term faculty member in human environmental studies, used to share an office in Wightman Hall with Murray, a former fixed-term faculty member in academic advising and assistance.

“Brenda and I briefly

shared an office on campus,” Murray said. “I always appreciated her approach to teaching and our discussions about the types of experiences she wanted for her students.”

Murray said she reached out to Skeel with the plan to create youthful spaces, while recognizing her limited funds to work with.

“We wanted to revitalize three areas in our facility used by children and their families,” Murray said. “As you might imagine, the transition is difficult for a young person who unexpectedly finds themself within the protective confines of a domestic violence shelter. Our goal was to create areas that would be fun, warm and appealing, yet conducive to counseling and group work.

Each room required three distinct personalities.”

the Chippewa Domestic Violence Shelter, CMU Counseling Center, Spectrum and the Organization of Women Leaders will have tables set up to educate students.

The issues SAPA deals with are serious and sometimes difficult for people to deal with, said Oakley graduate student Miller Dugalech.

“Being able to learn about these issues while men are walking around in red high heels makes it a positive experience,” he said. “As well, we get to experience for a short mile in heels what women go through for an entire lifetime.”

The walk also features a raffle at the end of the night, giving people the chance to win multiple prizes from gift certificates to free services, Slater said. This year’s grand prize is a 32-inch LCD TV provided by the CMU Bookstore.

“We’re hoping for the biggest turnout ever this year,” he said. “So far, we have planned for 350 people plus 52 SAPAs to be at the event, but we would love it if more than 400 people come.”

Skeel responded positively to the challenge and said she knew it would be a life-teaching moment.

“We have never done anything like this before,” Skeel said. “It was a learning experience.”

Skeel and her IND 332: Human Shelter and Environment students came up with ideas and design planning that, kept simple enough, allowed everyday volunteers and Shelterhouse personnel to help with the work.

But Skeel and her students faced some challenges during the process.

“This experience took from real life,” Skeel said. “There were ideas the students proposed that weren’t affordable or doable for Shelterhouse and instances we had to work around to come up with solutions for.”

In one instance, Keel said a student had to instruct volunteers on how to put together some of the designed items.

Croswell senior Brianne Bawol said when they first started working at Shelterhouse, they were creating a video game-inspired teen room in the basement where teenagers could escape and relax while in shelter.

“Not with us,” Foster said.

“Tickets stay strictly with parking services. We don’t deal with the Secretary of State. It doesn’t go on your driving record at all.”

These parking tickets still have some power if left unpaid on a student account, she said.

“If they go on your student account, you have to pay them to be able to register for classes, or graduate,” she said. “If you owed $15, that would need to be paid.”

“It’s all in good fun,” she said.

Registration is $5 for the walk and raffle, and $10 for a T-shirt, walk and raffle. Students can register at 5 p.m. and the walking will start around 6 p.m. Onlookers can attend for free.

Davison sophomore Aubrey Moore said she has never had a parking ticket outside of the school.

“At school I’ve probably gotten like four, but I’ve gotten out of two and only had to pay two,” Moore said.

Moore doesn’t leave her tickets unpaid, taking care of them all within a week or two, she said.

“I never got a parking ticket outside of school,” Moore said.

Tim Boudreau, an associate professor of journalism, said Erzikova gives both the staff and students a more global perspective.

“To see the world from the eyes of a non-American can broaden perspective and be beneficial,” Boudreau said. “The department prides itself on being very diverse and she adds a great deal to that.”

The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communications recently named Erzikova a 2012 emerging scholar.

“The award is a significant honor for her,” Marron said.

“Elina loves to do research and teach and she gets to spend her

time doing that.”

The AEJMC selected four of the 35 submitted proposals to win the award, each receiving $2,500 to be used for research.

Erzikova’s research aims to discover why Soviet Union journalists were so submissive to the authority and yet subversive at the same time.

“The Soviet journalists would not name a particular problem, spelling it out, but would hint at it because Soviet censorship was strict enough not to allow subversive words to be printed,” she said.

“This was the initial plan, with future plans to probably work on the play room and play therapy room,” Bawol said.

But during this process, Bawol said changes were made because of a lack of funds. She said setbacks and adjustments are always to be expected when working with a limited budget.

“It was all about problem solving and being flexible throughout the whole project,” Bawol said. “I tried to roll with whatever came up, whether that meant adjusting what we were doing or planning, or scrapping an idea entirely. I learned how important it is to keep problem solving. If you keep at it, you will find a solution.”

Laverne Washington, a CMU alumna from Detroit, assisted with the project and said everyone involved had to play their part in the overall design.

“The biggest challenge from the projects for me was trying to figure out how to hang the leaves in the play therapy room,” Washington said. “That was a major necessity of the room because without leaves, we did not have a forest. We ended up stumbling upon some clear netting material a store was going to throw away and it was the final days of the project. It could not have been more perfect.”

Washington said she enjoyed the real-life experience to learn

what is possible to do with limited resources and time.

“It was wonderful to ... try and design a great space with a limited budget,” she said. “It led to us trying to figure out [how to] custom-make some of the products that were way too expensive to purchase and how to execute them. I realized how important it is to make sure that all the necessary information is there, especially for custom-designed pieces, because sometimes you are not always there for the construction aspect of the product.”

Murray said 600 volunteer hours were involved in this year-long project. The six CMU student volunteers and their instructor put in about 250 hours.

“The students really nurtured the teen room and did a lot of the finishing work on the walls and windows themselves,” Murray said. “One student even had her mother’s high school sewing class to help with the project by creating Pac Man pillows, a favorite item of our residents.”

Bawol said for her it was a success because the Shelterhouse people were so happy with it.

“For me, that was what this was about; blessing them and working with a group to create and implement a real design,” she said.

Pro bono clinic reopens to help students

Professor awarded for helping youth in foster care

By Kelsey De Haan Staff Reporter

Lucas’ mother, said one of his friends, Craig Lancasteor, 11, has autism and it was his first time taking part in the plunge.

“He (Craig) said he would do it again next year,” Willson said.

Jonaitis said he encourages people to plunge for Special Olympics and enjoy the exhilarating feeling that comes along with it.

“At first you’re nervous, but then glad you did it,” Jonaitis said.

An adjunct professor of sociology, anthropology and social work was recently honored with the first-ever Outstanding Mentor Award issued by the Michigan Department of Human Services.

Selene Wadhawan, a children’s services supervisor at the Department of Human Services Isabella County office, received a personal call from DHS Director Maura Corrigan and was awarded a certificate on Jan. 31 acknowledging her work with foster children. The Outstanding Mentor Award is awarded to a DHS member who demonstrates sensational work and commitment with fostered youth.

Wadhawan, after founding and organizing the Michigan Youth Opportunity Initiative Youth Board in Midland and Isabella counties, as well as organizing Helping Others Prepare for Everything, a program created for older youth in foster care, stuck out among fellow DHS members.

“The youth are the biggest driving force to want to make things better for youth in foster care,” Wadhawn said. “Hearing their stories, struggles and their experiences within the system I work in drives me to make it a tiny bit better.”

The Central Michigan University Volunteer Center has worked closely with Wadhawan, creating and donating handmade fleece blankets to both MYOI and HOPE. Shawna Ross, coordinator of the Volunteer Center, knew of Wadhawan through her work with DHS and teen leadership groups.

“I am in awe of her,” Ross said. “She is the best version of ‘mentor’ that I can think of. Her care for others and her strong commitment for social justice is an example to us all.”

Wadhawan has also served as an advocate and expert speaker at CMU’s annual “Issue Day” advocacy conference. Her teen leadership group met CMU students to discuss the importance of active citizenship and service. With her past speaking engagements and extensive experience with fostered youth, others saw her as a clear choice for the award.

“It is a great honor and I am touched,” Wadhawan said. “I am happy that this award will highlight the need for all of us to work together to help youth in foster care in our state and nation.”

Open to those with legal issues on Wednesdays

By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

Amid waiting approval and limited use, the Student Government Association-led pro bono legal clinic for students has reopened.

The first session was held Feb. 8 in Anspach 033, and will continue every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The pro bono legal clinic was granted approval for opening last spring and is in its second year of operation, helping students with their legal concerns. Several attorneys, all but one of them professors at Central Michigan University, help run the clinic.

Todd Levitt, criminal defense attorney and professor of business, said the services being offered at the clinic are essential for many students on campus. Levitt, a CMU graduate himself, said he is excited to be working so closely with his alma mater.

“Back when I went to school here, I saw the need for students on campus and off campus to have free legal advice,” Levitt said. “Central did so much for me; this is my way of giving back.”

SGA Legal Clinic Director Chris Armelagos said it is important to connect students with licensed attorneys when faced with legal problems.

“A lot of people wouldn’t know where to go, what to do in certain situations,” he said.

“Having the opportunity to talk to a licensed attorney for 30 minutes is an invaluable service.”

Many students seek legal advice regarding issues with their landlord, roommates and alcohol or drug-related laws. Questions dealing with the university code of conduct are also common, so Levitt always carries a copy with him, he said.

“I’ve found, personally, the university policies to be generous and in-tune with the rest of the country,” he said.

The cases vary greatly, and while some deal with criminal or civil matters, the majority are landlord/tenant problems, Armelagos said.

“There are students who took out too (many loans) and don’t know what to do, and we have students who haven’t paid rent,” he said.

Milford senior Kacie Cadotte said she has found the services extremely helpful, but recommended having an idea of what to talk about before going for an appointment.

“Given that we only have a half hour, it’s limited,” Cadotte said. “You should go in there prepared.”

Tom Cadotte, Kacie’s father who accompanied her to see the lawyer, agreed preparation was vital to get the most out of the meeting.

“Make sure you have all the facts written down and all documents you might need,” he said. “If you don’t have documentation, you won’t know what to ask.”

Coldwater senior David Bailey agreed the services were useful, and said it was unfortunate students did not utilize them more often.

“The services should be more well-known; they would be able to benefit others,” Bailey said. “I found it very helpful.”

Students wishing to speak to an attorney must first make an appointment, as time is limited. Students should visit the clinic’s website to book an appointment and get connected with an attorney.

By Anna Palm | Staff Reporter

Charlie Brown and a banana were just two of the characters to take an icy plunge on Saturday.

The Special Olympics Michigan collected $35,000 with the support of 195 people who were brave enough to jump into Rose Pond Saturday at Central Michigan University.

Mount Pleasant resident Nathan Jonaitis collected the largest contribution of almost $5,200.

Dressed up as a shower, he said this is his sixth time participating and he always tries to be original with his costume.

“I started it because they started doing it in Mount Pleasant and it’s something I always wanted to do,” Jonaitis said. “Then I got such a good response from people and from raising money, so I kept doing it. I’m pretty competitive.”

Both dressed up in a suit and tie, Harrison senior Jessica LePage donated $215 while Oxford sophomore Mark Hurrish donated $115.

LePage said their choice of costume was influenced by the “How I Met Your Mother” character Barney Stinson.

Hurrish said participating seemed like a good idea at the time.

“It’s cold out, so it’s like a

less good idea now,” he said.

Owosso resident Karrie Crego and her group, Team Extreme, donated $675 to SOMI. She said this was her first time participating with her daughter and two nieces.

“It was awesome. I’ll definitely do it again next year,” Crego said. “It feels good.

Team Extreme will be back.”

Crego said their group has done many “extreme things” together over the last five years, including sky-diving, water rafting and cave exploring.

“It’s not as bad as you think. It’s over before you know it,” said Crego’s daughter Darcy, a senior and an intern at SOMI. “The wait is probably the worst part.”

Nate Jonaitis, of Mount Pleasant, takes the plunge Saturday during the 2012 Polar Plunge at Rose Pond. Jonaitis raised more than $5,000 for Special Olympics Michigan. His theme this year was “man in the shower.”

CMU alumnus Ryan Barck participated with his 12-man group. He said they have been involved for six years, but this was the first time he wasn’t working on the plunge day.

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done,” Barck said after jumping.

He said he probably would do it again because he would know what to expect, but he wouldn’t wear a costume.

St. Louis resident and fourth-year participant Lucas Willson, 13, disagreed.

“I think you should dress up,” he said. “It’s fun for everyone.”

His group Team CFX donated $900. Carrie Willson,

Exhibit teaches importance of rainforests, conservation

By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

A new exhibit in the Museum of Cultural and Natural History takes visitors out of Mount Pleasant and throws them into the depths of the rainforest.

“Journey Through the Jungle” opened to the public with a ceremony Feb. 10 in Rowe Hall. About 70 students, faculty and members of the community gathered to learn more about the tropics and what can be done to preserve the areas.

The exhibit is split into four major portions: nocturnal, diurnal (daytime), conservation and a children’s activity room, and based on the research work of Museum of Cultural and Natural History Curator Kirsten Nicholson.

“What you’ll see here is a stylistic version of what I see when I do field work,” Nicholson said in her welcome speech.

Nicholson, working with a grant from the National Science Foundation, has been studying the tropics and anole lizards in her research.

Her research has been conducted all throughout Central and South America, including Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil.

Jay Martin, director of the Museum of Cultural and Natural History and assistant professor of history, said the exhibit did a great job of making complicated research more understandable and accessible. “(The exhibit shows) how one can take cutting-edge work of a profession and make it so everyday people can understand it in the everyday world,” Martin said.

Rainforests provide many things people take for granted, including coffee, bananas, gold, aluminum, copper, 20 percent of the oxygen we breathe and many others, Nicholson said.

“Essentially, much of what happens in the world is dependent on the rainforest,” Martin said. “It affects us in many ways.”

The building, a former elementary school not necessarily suited to be a mu-

seum, will undergo renovations soon, Martin said, particularly the permanent exhibits in the museum. No serious changes have been made to the building since the ‘70s.

Plans for the space include removing large cases in the center to open things up and bringing in new artifacts and displays. New bases, cases and panels will be added, and new moveable centerpieces will allow for constant changes to be made to accommodate new exhibits.

“It’s a way to constantly reinvent, based on the content and topic, to change the space,” Martin said.

Funding for the renovations is coming from the College of Science and Technology, the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences and external source Jack Harkins. The changes will be implemented throughout the year.

Many visitors found the exhibit to be educational and interesting. Cathy Willermet, assistant professor of anthropology, who attended the exhibit with her

family, said it was important to teach about conservation and our impact on the rainforests.

“I think it’s important for them (kids) to understand their role in their whole world system,” Willermet said.

Those involved with the exhibit expressed the same concerns, and stressed the importance of informing the public, especially chil-

dren, of their role in the world.

The exhibit will remain free and open seven days a week to the public through December.

“There’s a lot of interactive activities for kids; they’ll enjoy it, and adults will too,” Nicholson said.

“It’s a nice, warm place to be in the winter.” university@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | State intervention needed to put CMU back on right path

I

Help from above

Center had to be built and even understandable that some of CMU’s money was used on it. What is unacceptable is not being up front with the public and continuing to call it a “private donation” for years and giving naming rights to those who paid much less than students.

The lack of details provided is frightening, especially when the university is gearing up to begin work on a $95 million biosciences building, which Ross said would be CMU’s largest single investment ever.

If a board consisting of eight individuals is unable to approach contentious issues, acknowledge mistakes and attempt to rectify them, whether they were made by Ross or a previous university president, then who can be held responsible?

There is no choice but to plead CMU’s case as an institution in desperate need of common sense and determined leadership to the one whose duty it is to appoint the board.

Gov. Rick Snyder has proven he is not afraid to install emergency financial managers in areas of the state facing financial turmoil.

At CMU tuition and other costs are skyrocketing, but that revenue is not being used for the immediate betterment of struggling students. Instead, that income appears to have been put

t should seem obvious that at least one of the eight public servants would ask about public financial problems at the university they have been appointed to oversee.

It would seem even more apparent that those same public servants would hold leaders of the university accountable for a crisis of leadership at the same university.

Unfortunately, the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees has repeatedly proven its lack of ability or desire to push the university toward excellence.

Appointed by the state’s governor, the eight public officials are responsible for maintaining and preserving the strengths of CMU. When the board of trustees met in December, then-Chairwoman Sarah Opperman said only a minority of those at CMU were frustrated with the state of affairs here.

“I think it’s a small part of university, from what I see, that is feeling very uncomfortable,” Opperman said in December.

However, at Thursday’s meeting, the board failed to acknowledge that on Wednesday the Council of Chairs — consisting of 22 department chair-

persons — endorsed the Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro. For that matter, it did not recognize any of the various departments’ endorsements of the vote since its last meeting.

Instead, Chairman Sam Kottamasu made a statement at the very end of the meeting, acknowledging only vague difficulties at the university and expressing the board’s confidence in Ross.

Those present at the meeting hopefully did not hold their breath for some explanation as to why $10 million of university funds were put toward funding the CMU Events Center, a building which was repeatedly pitched as being fully funded through private donations.

Kathy Wilbur, vice president for development and external relations, instead glossed over fundraising updates, only speaking in general terms when it came to the College of Medicine.

It’s understandable that the Events

toward giant projects with little concern for the cost to students or state.

Transparency issues plague the university as shown with the recent finding of the $10 million for the Events Center.

These issues are not being brought up and when they are, the issues are painted with a fine brush telling a very different story from the truth. CMU has claimed to have financial burdens during the Faculty Association contract dispute, yet spending no longer seems to be an issue for new buildings.

All these issues could and should be acknowledged, and acted upon by the board of trustees, not glazed over with a quote about how CMU is holding strong.

Governor, your presence is requested.

CMU is still a great school with many assets invaluable to the state of Michigan, but these assets are in grave danger without a body providing the vigilance necessary to preserve them.

Please investigate our claims and decide for yourself if there are greater efforts to hide and ignore troublesome issues at CMU than there are to solve them.

Our trustees and president have shirked their responsibility to students and taxpayers by simply passing the blame but we hope the buck will stop in Lansing.

Whitney deserves respect Usually the death of someone is a time of mourning, where respect is shown to the deceased and their loved ones. Unfortunately, with the death of Whitney Houston, while most have shown such dignity, others have engaged in less than respectful actions.

Upon the announcement of a private funeral, some of Houston’s fans became angry that they would not be able to attend. Instead of coming out and criticizing Houston’s family for choosing to hold a private funeral, the respectful thing would have been to quietly allow it to go forward and mourn in peace.

As much as a fan may have “loved” Whitney Houston, nobody loved her as much as her close friends and family, and to become angry at her loved ones for choosing to hold a private funeral is simply disrespectful.

What was even worse was when Sony Records increased the online download price of Houston’s albums and songs. Sure, America is built on capitalism, where scarce commodities are valued at a higher price, but even the most die-hard capitalist should have seen that this was an extremely inappropriate move.

Instead of trying to make a quick buck, Sony should have had some respect for Houston and left the price alone. Shortly after outcry over the move, Sony reversed the price increase, but the damage was already done.

While Sony was to blame for this particular incident, it is the American obsession with celebrities as a whole that led to their action. Ultimately, celebrities are just people. They have specific talents, but they are no better than any other person. On the flip side of that coin, they deserve the same respect as everyone else.

In the future, record companies will hopefully respect that while they may make more money from driving up the price of a recently-deceased singer, it is fundamentally wrong to do so. Fans of celebrities will hopefully also realize that the family of the deceased should have complete control over the funeral, and if they choose to keep it private, respect their wishes.

Death eventually comes to everyone, and the dead deserve respect, whether they are famous or not. To deny someone this basic respect is utterly disgraceful, and shows the sad state of our society’s views of celebrities.

Pay Raise?

Central Michigan University cannot possibly afford to pay its faculty a wage increase.

Times are rough. Our budget is stretched thin. We’re barely scrapping by.

That $280 million dollars that haven’t been allocated to anything must remain untouched. And it certainly will not be used for any building projects or the medical school.

That’s what we were told.

And I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out in the last few weeks that portions of those funds would be going to building projects and possibly to the medical school.

Also, apparently we can afford to pay our faculty a wage increase.

As long as they aren’t unionized faculty anyhow. This 2.25 percent bribe—because it is nothing short of that—is a slap in the fact to every student, parent, faculty member (union and non-union), administrator, office employee, custodial worker, food service worker and

Michigan tax payer.

To those who have received this bonus: it is your bribe.

I have seen how hard people work on this campus, how diligently you go about your business, trying to make this campus a better place for students.

But if University President George Ross was really rewarding you for the work you do, you’d be getting a bigger raise, and you’d be getting it every year.

To those faculty not getting this bonus, I.E. unionized faculty, once again the die has been cast.

Try to collectivize and fight for a better contract? Ross will find a way to punish you.

To students, parents and tax payers: Your money will be mismanaged.

You will be lied to. Your tuition dollars will go to pet projects after being told it won’t. Your tuition will go up.

You’ll be told it’s because Lansing is giving less, and CMU will contin-

ue to sit on a trash heap of cash.

You will be saddled with debt so Ross’ legacy can shine bright.

This is the new CMU promise.

Well, I offer this challenge to every person who has received Ross’ bribe.

Reinvest it.

Not in a 401k.

Not a new pair of shoes.

But in the students. Find a department somewhere on campus that could use a little help.

Find an RSO that could use some support. Find an academic organization that is short for an important event or fundraiser.

Find a student centered cause somewhere on campus, and put that 2.25 percent to good use.

And tell President Ross where your priorities are, and where his priorities should be.

The Catholic Church is pushing away smart voters

On Sunday, a letter by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops opposing the contraception mandate was distributed at Catholic churches across the country.

The letter opposed the rule on contraception mandate President Barack Obama finalized Feb. 10, which requires private health care to cover sterilization, contraception and morning-after pills.

The bishops stated more religious employers should be exempt from the mandate, such as Catholic hospitals, universities and charities.

In its first paragraph, the letter quickly strays from the facts in an emotional appeal which would discredit all that would follow: “Ironically, not even Jesus and his disciples would have qualified for the exemption, because it excludes those who mainly serve people of another faith.”

Christians should feel exploited and offended by petty statements like this, especially from religious leaders.

Good priests understand why Catholics go to church: to hear the gospel, worship and receive the body of Christ. If they wanted to hear one-sided political pleas, they might be at a campaign rally or watching Fox News, not kneeling at a pew on a Sunday morning.

According to surveys by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, only about 31 percent of Catholics attend mass every Sunday. Many others have joined different denominations.

Apparently I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Christians often have a deeply-rooted relationship with Jesus. Claims to know where a physical Jesus would be stationed in today’s world and His opinions on political issues are nothing but attempts to manipulate Christians from free-thinking individuals to robots at the voting booth.

One of the Democratic Party’s core philosophies, often accused of socialism, is actually very simple — remembering to help our nation’s poorest, sickest and most needy people. Democratic leaders accomplish this by making health care more available, opposing wars and more.

However, just as it is dangerous to exclusively link the Catholic Church with political conservatism, it is equally dangerous to link it to liberalism, although the argument can be made for both. The right choice can only come from within, through prayer for the religious, and is dependent on the issues and candidates of the time.

There is no way to tell what Jesus would have thought about abortion, gay marriage or contraception. What we do know about Jesus is this — he gave everything he had to those who needed it most.

Earlier this month, GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney told CNN “I am not concerned about the very poor.”

Dear U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is this the man we should choose to run our country as Jesus would have?

Student working full-time at new start-up before graduating

By Paulina Lee Staff Reporter

Daniel Pearson is far from the average college senior. He’s not spending his Tuesdays at the bar or struggling with the plague of “senioritis.”

The Waterford senior is currently working full-time in San Francisco at a new start-up called Zaarly. The site, designed to help connect buyers and sellers of services, was launched in May 2011.

“Zaarly is buyer-powered. If you’ve ever said, ‘I’d pay blank for blank,’ then Zaarly is for you,” said Danny Sauter, who works on Zaarly’s college program in New York City. “You say what you want, when you need it by and how much you’re willing to pay. Like game tickets, textbooks, notes, rides, etc.”

Pearson is still finishing up online classes so he can graduate by December, 2012. Since he’s in San Francisco, he needed help getting his graduation audit done, so he “Zaarley-ed” a request for someone to schedule and attend a graduation audit, for which he would pay them $100.

His post read: “I need a graduation audit and to apply for graduation this year but I kind of live in San Francisco. Get it done and I’ll pay you :).”

Pearson said he is very passionate about working at a startup, which makes his schedule much easier to take. Zaarly employees work seven days a week, at least eight hours a day, but usually more, especially during the business week.

“I spent the first three months sleeping in a twin bed with more people than I had in my dorm,” Pearson said. “There were three guys and three twin beds in a room that’s smaller than my dorm room.”

PRO BOnO | CONTINUED FROM 3A

Levitt said the various methods of communication are important for answering the many questions that students have about law.

Pearson, an entrepreneurship major, ended up at the start-up through a friend. When Pearson’s friend was about to start an internship at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, an entrepreneurship foundation, he was approached by Kauffman’s thenVice President, Bo Fishback, who told him he was quitting to start Zaarly and invited him to follow.

“They were looking for more people to work for Zaarly that summer, so my friend asked me if I was interested,” Pearson said.

“I worked there for the summer and then got a full-time offer.”

ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING Pearson said he has always been interested in entrepreneurship. He owned a small landscaping company which he sold before coming to college. During his time at Central Michigan University, he participated in various pitch and entrepreneurship competitions.

A major in entrepreneurship aims to prepare students for the real world, said Debra Zellner, executive director of Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship.

“The curriculum is set up to provide students with a wide variety of classroom and experimental learning,” Zellner said.

“What we’re really trying to do is bring forward this entrepreneur perspective to the students and the whole campus, by bringing the spirit of starting new ventures and pursuing your passions.”

Last year, Pearson and his friend, Tyler Gostinger, won the New Venture Competition with their idea, HybridPay, an app that allows consumers to integrate their debit, credit and rewards card into one simple account to save money and add security against identity theft.

“So many students don’t know where to turn,” he said.

Kacie said she was thankful to have someone to talk to about her legal troubles.

“I wish I would have known it existed before,” she said.

Levitt said every attorney should do pro bono work

But HybridPay has been put on hold since Pearson started at Zaarly.

“We were talking with some investors to figure out where we want to go and what we would need to get started,” he said. “But we put it on hold.”

Pearson is not abandoning his winning idea, but said he wants more experience first.

“I wanted to come here and learn from Bo and other founders of this company who have built companies before,” he said.

“It’s been a huge learning opportunity, and I’m glad I took it instead of just going off on my own.”

Pearson has three points of advice to offer students who are interested in entrepreneurship.

“Don’t just go to class; meet as many people as you can who share your interests, and don’t be afraid to start something new even if you think you’re going to fail, because you might end up surprising yourself,” he said.

Though Pearson is already working a full-time job at a startup which is one of Fast Company’s top innovative companies, he remains humble in his success.

“I wouldn’t say I’m successful yet; I’m far from successful. So I don’t think I’m even qualified to give advice to be successful,” he said. “I haven’t even graduated yet.”

In terms of the future, Pearson said he sees himself owning his own business.

“I’d like to build companies,” he said. “That’s definitely what I’m passionate about.”

involved in the program and a new one is added each week.

Students can sign up for the localized ZaarlyU.com with their .edu email address.

The college ambassador program is structured differently than other programs, Sauter said.

“It’s similar to running their own business,” Sauter said. “We wanted to make it more than just another college rep program; give students the opportunity to take Zaarly and really own it and run it on their own campus.”

Zach Bazzy was chosen to be CMU’s Zaarly ambassador.

The Macomb junior said he is excited to promote Zaarly on campus.

“So far, I’ve been doing doorto-door promotions in the dorms, but I’m starting to build a team of people,” Bazzy said.

“I really want to do marketing around campus and get some events going.”

have been innovative with their brand promotion, like Stanford University’s Drew D’Agostino, who enclosed himself in a “glass box” for 24 hours and Zaarleyed items he needed.

Students interested in joining Bazzy’s Zaarly team on campus can contact him via email at bazzy1zd@cmich.edu. studentlife@cm-life.com

ZAARLY AT CMU In August 2011, Zaarly launched its college ambassador program with 20 universities. According to Sauter, there are now more than 30 colleges and give back as much as possible.

“I think if every person in every walk of life and in every profession helped just one person, our world would be a much better place,” Levitt said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Q & A w i t h S G A C a n d i d at e s

Killian Richeson and Shane McGoff

By Octavia Carson | Staff Reporter Student Government Association presidential candidate Hesperia senior Killian Richeson and vice presidential candidate Schoolcraft sophomore Shane McGoff talked with Staff Reporter Octavia Carson about his campaign. Central Michigan Life will do question-andanswer interviews with all SGA presidential candidates. The general elections will be held from March 12-16; students can vote online at vote.cmich.edu.

Octavia Carson: What do you want to accomplish?

Killian Richeson: Basically, we want to make SGA relevant again. Although it has been moving toward that this semester and this year, I still feel like it is not exactly getting to where it could be specifically. I love the idea of what academic priorities is doing when they are working with getting online major signing and online audits, which is perfect. We want to continue that because it is not going to be something they are going to finish this year.

When you go within our platform, we also have holding the university accountable, making sure that they are putting out these public records, which we can see, online instead of having to do a Freedom of Information request on them, which is ridiculous for a public institution. We should be able to see this and hold our own university accountable.

OC: How would you handle a situation such as the FA crisis?

KR: Honestly, the way Vince (Cavataio, current SGA president) did it, I do commend him.

Seeing, when I was treasurer, what he went through was very difficult. The way that it should be handled, although I know that it would have been popular for SGA to come out and support the faculty, is to play

CM-LIfE.COM w Visit the website to read the full question-and-answer interview with both SGA presidential candidates w Watch for a live stream interview with Killian Richeson and Shane McGoff at 9:30 p.m. today that line of what it was. Supporting either one would not have been appropriate or consistent of the goals of SGA in my opinion. If the students within the House of Representatives and Senate wanted to bring up an independent proposal to have SGA push through it, then that’s their power as being a part of the legislature.

OC: Since the unicameral proposal will not be on the ballot, what would you like the bicameral system to look next year?

Shane McGoff: I would like to see a restructuring of the senate. I don’t agree with how they represent academic colleges. We have an Academic Senate that speaks for the various departments that we have on campus and that speaks for the various students that are affiliated with those departments. I had a roommate who is a legal studies major and he represented the college of fine arts. That is not a group that he can really relate to and he is not going to be involved with any of their RSOs. It’s like if Michigan was represented in the United States senate with someone that is from the state of Ohio; it wouldn’t make that much since. I think something needs to be changed with how the senate is set up, whether it’s going about it alphabetically or whether you break up campus and just grid it. studentlife@cm-life.com

Kevin Richmond and Scott Cooke

By Octavia Carson | Staff Reporter Carson also spoke with presidential candidate and Romeo senior Kevin Richmond and vice presidential candidate and Andover senior Scott Cooke.

Octavia Carson: What do you want to accomplish?

Kevin Richmond: The editorial that came out (Feb. 13) in CM Life that said SGA was irrelevant stated our platform pretty perfectly actually. We are going against the idea that SGA is from a bunch of people that are in SGA and they always stay in SGA, and they move up the ranks, then they get elected president. Instead, we are from diverse areas of campus, we have been in other RSOs, other groups and we want to bring what we learned from those into SGA to govern the whole campus. I feel like SGA is kind of secluding its campus or secluding itself from the whole body further and further. That kind of happened with the unicameral thing and the student body finally said, “No, that is not OK,” and they weren’t OK with it, so that got rid of it. We kind of want to bring in what we know from everywhere else and kind of change so that we can represent the student body. More specifically, there are a lot of things we would like to look at.

Scott Cooke: They (SGA) are trying to get only academic audits and online signing for majors and minors. That is a great idea that we would like to push next year. We want to re-assess the committees and make sure the committees are doing things for the students and not just having work to have work. We just want to make sure that everything SGA does is for the students and not for SGA.

FA crisis?

KR: One of my favorite quotes is “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed.” I like the idea (SGA) chose “students for students.”

I understand SGA is for students, but by not choosing a side regardless, it did not help anyone. It did not push the students to help any direction.

I am not sure exactly what we would do in a similar situation, because we would have to look at all of the facts and take polls and understand what the students want because that’s really what is important. We would definitely push harder to find some side to take rather than taking no side.

SC: We would just also inform the students. I always go to those meetings, because we are both RA’s and I always tell my residents what is going on and what they should be expecting, because in the first

At 12 years old, Alexander Chouinard began researching what makes people happy.

The Milford junior has interviewed people from all paths of life, from multi-millionaires to custodial workers. He will reveal the insights he has gained in a program he has named “A New Year, A New Life.”

The program will be held from 8 to 9:30 p.m. today in Pearce Hall room 128.

Chouinard, who has been working on NYNL since his freshman year, is eager to tout the program. Described on the pamphlet as “highly introspective, fun and interactive,” the program’s mission statement is to be “the most motivational and successful program in Central Michigan’s history.”

The program will feature an introduction from Dan Gaken, director of the Central Michigan Leadership Institute, free pizza and a professional DJ. Chouinard said currently 350 students are planning to attend.

Gaken said it is the students behind the program that make it as inspirational as it promises to be.

“That is where the program really gets its power,” Gaken said. “It is student-initiated, student-driven and this is what will give it the ability to impact students on this campus.”

Chouinard said he believes there has never been a better time for this program than now.

“When I look on the average college students’ faces, I see three things; stress, loneliness and anger,” Chouinard said.

“Working as an MA (multicultural adviser) for the last two years, I have seen students face depression; I have even seen students attempt suicide.”

Chouinard said the reason for students’ increasingly difficult time has been an “epidemic” of students reaching for outward materialistic things like alcohol, drugs or even technology for happiness, often leaving the student struggling to find contentment. Chouinard said the real source of happiness in life is not found without, but rather within.

“The program is a personal journey,” Chouinard said. “It’s a journey to find out what the goal of your life is. My role is to be your guide — to show you shortcuts and guidelines, and help get you to discover your purpose.”

Gross Pointe Woods junior Jacob Comfort, one of the main organizers of the program and Chouinard’s roommate, said the program is something he has treasured taking part in.

“It’s helping people out, and who doesn’t want to do that,” Comfort said. “A lot of people are having a rough time. This can really help if you’re feeling bogged down. You’ll experience hope and release.”

Although many people have influenced Chouinard and left their mark on the program, he said one person in particular

was a key inspiration.

“One of the people who left the biggest impression on me was one of my former high school teachers, Tom Creamins — he just passed from terminal cancer this year,” Chouinard said. “But while he was battling his illness, he used to put on benefit speeches for us students and the community … he was a very motivational man, and it amazed me how much he got out of life despite cancer. What I learned from him is that true happiness and fulfillment comes from within you, and not just the world around you. ” Although promising much more, Chouinard said the most important advice he can give starts with a smile.

“Smile more; it’s the simplest tip of happiness, and the most important tip to be happy,” he said. “It gets the endorphins pumping; it gets you excited.

Simple as that. If people would start smiling more, the world would be a happier place.”

OC: Since the unicameral proposal will not be on the ballot, how would you like the bicameral system to look next year?

KR: Vince (Cavataio, SGA president and Shelby Township senior) did mention something in SGA where they were talking about a new proposal they want to form and it won’t be on the ballot, but they are going to try to push it for next year. They did mention that they were going to have an indefinite amount of senators; they were open up to discussion about that and anyone who got the signatures would be allowed

in. That is pretty interesting, and I do like that they are still working with the students, but it seems like there is still a lot of work to be done on it. I am not sure if the unicameral or bicameral system would be best right now. It kind of depends on what kind of proposals people come up with and I am working with a group right now; the “say no on Proposal 1” group who was protesting the proposal. We actually emailed SGA leaders, Vince and Colleen (McNeely, SGA vice president and Brighton junior) to try to get their opinion and help for the proposal, but I don’t think we have heard back yet. We are looking forward to hearing back so that we can kind of get our input and their input and mold it together to get something that works for everyone.

Arnold knocks four homers in three-game series at Troy

By John Manzo Staff Reporter

ANDREW KUHN/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Redshirt freshman Mike Ottinger wrestles Lehigh’s Sean Bilodeau Jan. 27 at McGuirk Arena. Ottinger beat Bilodeau 3-2.

It’d be hard to find a reason to blame senior William Arnold for the two losses the Central Michigan baseball team had this weekend against Troy.

He hit four home runs, tallied eight RBIs and has a .500 batting average in three games.

Arnold hit home runs in each game, but CMU went 1-2, dropping the first two games of the opening three-game series in Troy, Ala. CMU avoided a sweep Sunday, opening the final game of the series with a fast start. In the first game Sunday, CMU lost 12-10 in a game that resumed halfway through because of a rain delay Saturday.

Before a Troy hitter stepped into the batter’s box in the finale, CMU already posted a 6-0 lead.

Senior first basemen Nate Theunissen opened the scoring in the six-run first inning when he singled to left field, scoring junior Jordan Dean and Tom Lally.

After senior Sam Russell ground out that scored Arnold and a wild pitch

that scored Theunissen, senior Eric Wrozek put his own mark on the stat sheet when he doubled into left field, scoring freshman Nick Regnier and junior Reid Rooney.

“I liked how this time instead of being behind, we were ahead,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “It put us in a good position. I thought we came out and swung, and were very aggressive early. We swung very well.”

The six-run first sent the Chippewas on the right track to a weekend finale victory, beating the Trojans 14-7 on strong performances from Arnold and Theunissen.

Redshirt freshman 165-pounder Mike Ottinger argues with the referee after defeating Lehigh’s Sean Bilodeau 3-2 Jan. 27 at McGuirk Arena.

Ottinger looks back at the clock in the third period as he rides out the last six seconds atop Michigan State’s David Cheza on Thursday at McGuirk Arena.

earning his stripes Ottinger contributing early for wrestling team By ryan Zuke | Staff Reporter Close matches are nothing new for freshman Mike Ottinger.

Thirteen of his matches this season have been decided by two or fewer points and he is 9-4 in those matches. It’s a record which shows maturity for a freshman, a record which does not go unnoticed by wrestling head coach Tom Borrelli.

“I think he has done really well,” Borrelli said. “It’s a real big transition to Division I athletics from high school. Mike only won one state championship and most of our guys are multiple-time state champions. So for him to come in here with not as big of high school credentials as some of the guys and have the success he has had, it really speaks to his toughness.”

That toughness allowed him to grind out many close matches and wear down his opponents.

Down 11-8 on Jan. 27 against No.14 Lehigh, Ottinger had a chance to tie or put CMU ahead in his match at 165-pounds weight class.

He trailed 2-1 in the third period before he scored the lone takedown in the bout with less than a minute remaining. The crowd responded with roaring applause as he won the match to tie the dual meet at 11.

“I’ve been in a lot of those matches in high school — real close matches,” Ottinger said. “It meant a lot because Lehigh is near my house and my dad went there so it was definitely nice to win that one.”

The win improved his record to 15-6 on the season, and proved to his teammates and coaching staff that he was having no trouble ad-

justing to college wrestling.

Since the Lehigh match he is 3-2, but boasts an impressive 18-8 record. He has defeated two ranked opponents this season, No. 16 Dan Yates of Michigan and No. 20 Mark Lewandowski of Buffalo. He also went 4-0 in Mid-American Conference dual meets.

“I think I’m doing pretty good,” Ottinger said. “I’m listening to my coaches and just working hard in practice and things are kind of falling together for me.”

Coming out of high school, Ottinger had three schools to choose from. He could either stay in his

CM-LIFE.COM w Visit the website for a video of Ottinger’s story home state of Pennsylvania and enroll at Edinboro or Lock Haven, or come to CMU. He chose CMU, because of Borrelli and his coaching staff.

“I just liked the team better and the coaches — especially Borrelli,” Ottinger said. “A lot of coaches are negative on their guys, but with Borrelli, if something bad happened, he would still be in the corner clapping for me.”

But he was unsure if he would be inserted into the starting lineup right away.

“At first I was a little nervous about getting in the lineup right away,” Ottinger said. “Coach (Borrelli) talked to me and said there’s no pressure, just go out and wrestle hard. As much as technique and all that is important, he’s kept my mind straight and kept me staying positive.”

Despite signing late to CMU, Ottinger’s teammates and coaches made his transition less strenuous.

Fellow freshman Zach Horan, who is also from Pennsylvania, played a major role in helping Ottinger adjust.

Team loses 49-47 at McGuirk Arena By ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

After breaking its nine-game losing streak Tuesday, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team found itself back in the loss column Saturday night at McGuirk Arena.

Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi defeated CMU 49-47.

“They really fought to win a nailbiter,” head coach Ernie Zeigler said. “I’m going to be honest with you, it was a bad loss. It was a real tough outcome for us on a special day.”

The Chippewas trailed by 1 with 15 seconds left and had the ball. While driving to the basket, sophomore Derek Jackson was called for a charge with five seconds remaining, turning the ball over to the Islanders.

The CMU offense struggled throughout the game, shooting just

33.3 percent from the field. CMU was 3-20 from beyond the arc.

“I just think it was just us not being able to knock them down,” Zeigler said. “We had some great looks. Our kids executed our stuff, but unfortunately we did not have that third guy to step up. Offensively, outside of Trey (Zeigler) and Derek, we just couldn’t get enough done.”

The Chippewas fell behind early, trailing 16-7 8:44 into the game, but a 12-5 run brought them within 2 with just under three minutes to play in the half.

San Diego Padres play-by-play telecaster Dick Enberg and his wife Barbara watch as his bust is unveiled during halftime of Saturday’s game against Texas A&M–Corpus Christi at McGuirk Arena.

Dick Enberg has won 14 Sports Emmy awards and nine National Sportscaster of the Year awards – and it began at Central Michigan.

“I was a total nobody, but then this university gave me a chance to be somebody,” Enberg said.

At halftime of Saturday night’s CMU basketball game Enberg’s bust was officially unveiled. It’s located at the main entrance of the Events Center with a thumbs-up pose from his 1980 commencement speech.

The Central Michigan Sport Management Association hosted its second professional development conference, “Behind the Scenes of Sport,” Friday and Saturday inside the Educa-

tion and Human Services building’s French Auditorium.

Alumnus Terry Foster, a Detroit News sports columnist and radio host on 97.1 The Ticket, was Friday’s keynote speaker and Enberg, play-by-play announcer for the San Diego Padres, was Saturday’s keynote presentation.

On Friday, Foster, a former reporter for Central Michigan Life, reminisced on past articles he wrote and how some journalists have lost the ability to be a “people person” in the era of technology.

“When you write a story, it’s like building a building,” Foster said. “You have steel, you have wood, carpet, furniture, but the most important thing for any building is people. We kind of get lost in all of the electronic stuff and I think that’s why I think the people

business has kind of gone by the wayside.”

Foster gave advice to students on how to further a resume saying to put a face on each resume because it can easily be clumped together with others unless the publication has a reason to recognize it.

Friday’s event began with Athletics Director Dave Heeke, and transitioned Paul Barbeau, the general manager/ president of the Great Lakes Loons — a minor league baseball team in Midland — and concluded with Foster.

Barbeau went into details of what he expects from his employees and that anybody affiliated with the Loons organization gives it a good or bad image at any time.

Softball loses 4-2 Sunday, streak at 5 series |

By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan softball team lost 4-2 Sunday, its fifth-straight loss during the weekend.

CMU committed 10 errors over the weekend that led to eight unearned runs.

Sunday against Iowa, the Chippewas scored two runs in the first inning. It was their first lead of the weekend.

It didn’t last long.

The Hawkeyes tied the game in the bottom of the first with four hits. They scored again in the fourth and fifth innings.

CMU sophomore pitcher Chelsea Sundberg earned the loss, her second of the weekend.

The Chippewas did not advance a runner past second base in the rest of the game after their productive first inning.

CMU could not build and maintain a rally during the

“When I first came here, I was a little bit behind because I signed real late,” Ottinger said.

“The only guy I knew a little bit was Zach Horan. He helped me out mentally and told me I can do it and said since I had success in high school, I can do it here too.”

Conditioned for success Junior Ben Bennett said he believes Ottinger’s work ethic has translated into success on the mat.

loss | continued from 1b

The Islanders added two more points before the half, increasing their lead to 23-19.

CMU took its first lead of the game early in the second half after sophomore Derek Jackson hit a 3-pointer.

The game featured eight lead changes from that point on.

But once again, depth hindered the Chippewas with freshman Austin McBroom and juniors Finis Craddock out and Olivier Mbaigoto leaving the

weekend. They accumulated more than a hit in an inning only five times all weekend. The Chippewas hit .209 through their five-loss weekend.

However, junior outfielder Macy Merchant was a bright spot in the CMU lineup, hitting .526 through the weekend, including a 3-for-4 performance as designated hitter on Sunday.

Winless Saturday The Chippewas lost 7-5 in the first game Saturday against Iowa.

Sophomore pitcher Morgan Yuncker earned the loss. She gave up four runs on five hits, and struck out one. She also walked three batters.

In the second game of the day, CMU lost 11-3 against Illinois State. The game ended after six innings.

Junior pitcher Kara Dornbos, who’s considered the team’s ace, took the loss for CMU. She gave up nine runs – only

five earned – on eight hits. She walked two and struck out two in 4 2/3 innings.

However, CMU head coach Margo Jonker said she liked what she saw in Dornbos.

“She was very confident in her pitches,” Jonker said. “I thought she pitched very well.”

Shut out Friday CMU hit 1-19 in the seasonopener against Minnesota that resulted in a 2-0 loss.

“Our offense was taking too many pitches,” Jonker said.

“We need to be more aggressive and work on our pitch selection.”

The Chippewas played No. 5 Arizona State in its second game of the day, and were shut out 7-0.

“We competed well,” Jonker said. “You take away a few pitches here and there then we are right in the ball game.” sports@cm-life.com

The duo was accountable for nine of the team’s 14 RBIs, each going 3-for-5 at the plate.

Arnold bashed two of his four weekend home runs in the victory. He hit a solo home run in the second, extending the lead to 7-0 and had a threerun home run in the seventh inning, increasing a six-run lead to nine.

“It’s always good to get the first one out of the way,” Arnold said of yesterday’s win.

Game one The season-opener didn’t go the way CMU wanted it to, despite junior Jordan Dean scoring off a ground out by Arnold in the first inning.

“When he works out, you can see he works out hard,” Bennett said. “He has really good conditioning. I think it’s hard for guys to keep up with him and I think that’s been a real big factor.”

Ottinger can attribute part of his conditioning to playing soccer in high school. He said it made his legs stronger and kept him in shape.

But soccer was always on the backburner for him. Wrestling gave him individual satisfaction that soccer could not.

“I just like the feeling of winning,” he said. “Just knowing that you did it yourself feels so good.”

With the MAC and NCAA tournaments approaching quickly, Ottinger will be under the most pressure he has endured this season.

Because of his work ethic and wrestling style, Borrelli said he believes Ottinger will be able to adjust to the big stage just like he did earlier this year when he was trying to prove himself.

“He is very good on his feet defensively,” Borrelli said.

“He’s real hard to score on. He keeps pressing the action and he’s pretty competent on top, too.”

game early in the second half with an ankle injury.

“Our depth isn’t quite what we would hope it is. It makes it easy for their defense to key in on just two guys (Trey and Jackson),” Ernie said.

Ernie said he thinks Trey is feeling healthy again and gaining his mobility back after being hampered by a back injury he sustained last week.

“I would say he’s as close to 100 percent as he’s been since it occurred,” Ernie said. “But I swear I can just go back to last year, it looks so reminiscent to last year when he was forcing things because we didn’t have

a balance offensively. He ended up with five turnovers but in his defense, he played and gave us everything he had.”

Trey finished with a gamehigh 22 points.

McBroom did not play because of violating team rules and Craddock was out with an illness.

CMU alumnus and current San Diego Padres play-by-play announcer Dick Enberg was honored at halftime.

The Chippewas will travel to Toledo to face the Rockets at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Saturday’s speakers were Talia Mark, a marketing manager for U.S. Swimming and Bob Chichester, the director

the Chippewas as they lost 7-3, scoring one run apiece in the first, sixth and eighth innings.

Troy plated three in the second inning and poor command from starting pitcher senior Zach Cooper led to a downhill spiral for CMU. Cooper pitched six innings, striking out seven, but couldn’t find the strike zone, walking six in the loss.

“It was the first game of the year,” Arnold said. “That usually happens. They both (Cooper and Dodridge) threw pretty well for the first time out.”

Game two A rain-delayed game Saturday led to a postponed doubleheader. The first game scheduled for Saturday was pushed to Sunday and the second game was canceled because of rain.

found itself down 7-0, but rallied to tie it in the fifth with two runs in the fourth and five in the fifth. The rally was shortlived when the Trojans put together a five-run fifth of their own, beating the Chippewas 12-10 in a game that carried over two days.

“I thought we did a better job of taking advantage of things we do well,” Jaksa said about the seven-run rally.

“We capitalized with some big home runs and some big hits in those situations.”

Pitcher Jon Weaver started for CMU, giving up 10 runs (three earned) in the loss.

Women’s basketball, Jalisa Olive: The junior guard scored 26 points in the loss at Ball State while coming off the bench.

Team loses seven of past nine games It was the same old story for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team in its 84-76 loss to Ball State on Sunday afternoon in Muncie, Ind. The Chippewas committed 19 turnovers and shot 62 percent from the free throw line (15-24), both equaling their season averages.

The game was tied at 57 with 11:13 left to play, but Ball State built up a 7-point lead by the 6:20 mark when it led 69-62.

The Chippewas were hurt when Ball State sophomore guard Brandy Woody knocked down a 3-point shot with four minutes to go that put the Cardinals up 8.

BSU knocked down its free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.

CMU head coach Sue Guevara was not available to the media following the game.

CMU led 40-35 at halftime, but a 10-0 run by the Cardinals that started at the 16:50 mark of the second half gave them the lead.

The loss is the seventh in CMU’s past nine games.

CMU was led by junior guard Jalisa Olive who scored 26 points. Freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey scored 14 points and hauled down eight rebounds. Sophomore guard Niki DiGuilio was the only other Chippewa with double-digit scoring with 10 points.

Track and field prepares for MAC title with Jack Skoog open

By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Central Michigan sophomore jumper Michael Johnson stood on the runway for his final long jump.

“I was on the runway and left to find a teammate and told him to get a clap goin’ for me,” Johnson said.

So teammate freshman Dee Smith started the clap that eventually other teammates and the audience had joined. Johnson pumped his arms, then bolted down the runway amid cheers and claps.

He set a personal best jump at 44 feet, 10 1/4 inches. His eyes welled with tears as he hugged and celebrated with teammates.

“Today, I really just wanted to go in and have fun,” Johnson said.

Although the Central Michigan track and field team competed with a limited lineup Friday at the Jack Skoog open, Willie Randolph, Director of track and field, said he was proud of the teams attitude as they won nine events.

Other competitors were Alma, Northwood and Saginaw Valley.

“I saw a team working together with a common goal,” Randolph said. “We saw some people that had some (personal records).”

Randolph said athletes like senior multi-event athlete Josh Kettlewell and senior thrower Ryan McCullough had performances that stood out.

“Kettlewell was just jumpin’ out of this world,” Randolph said.

Randolph also said that McCullough had overcome his mental battle with the weight throw. McCullough, who finished in second place behind CMU senior thrower Kevin Mays, threw 65 feet, 4 inches.

“Ryan McCullough had a huge throw,” Randolph said. “We’ve been waiting for a throw like that from him all year.”

Kettlewell pole vaulted 16 feet, 6 inches and finished first in the event.

Randolph said senior jumper Kevin Bacon had the strongest meet of the year to date.

Johnson said he was

Director of Track and Field Willie Randolph, talks to men and women from CMU’s track and field teams about their performance on the night following the Jack Skoog Open.

“I saw a team working together with a common goal.”

Transfers Peter Sturgeon and Chad Friend of the Central Michigan wrestling team were celebrated on senior night, Thursday at McGuirk Arena.

“It was nice to have the fans give a nice reception (despite) not knowing me that much,” Sturgeon said.

Sturgeon and Friend have been members of the wrestling program for a combined four years.

Head coach Tom Borrelli said they have formed a bond because of being transfers and the lone seniors on the roster.

“It’s funny because (Peter) and Chad are like best friends,” Borrelli said. “They’re like kindred spirits. “ They arrived in Mount Pleasant in very different ways.

Friend of the 197-pound weight class wrestled at Muskegon Community College.

He was a two-time NJCAA AllAmerican and was a national runner-up in 2008.

After redshirting in 2009 he has compiled a 13-38 record in the past two seasons.

“I’m happy for the experience I had here,” he said. “It was a good experience and I learned a lot.”

Borrelli said he has represented the program well.

“He’s been a very steady guy

for our guys,” Borrelli said. “Not only as a wrestler … Everybody in his major respects him.”

Sturgeon, of the heavyweight class, was forced out of North Carolina-Greensboro as a result of the elimination of its wrestling program.

He arrived on campus last July. His record is 26-10 and he is ranked No. 17 by InterMat in his weight division.

Sturgeon came out victorious in his last match at home in a rematch against Michigan State’s Mike McClure, 5-4.

“It’s good to get a little revenge on a personal level,” Sturgeon said. “We definitely wrestled well and it’s good to get us back in the win column.”

Friend lost 8-3 to Nick McDiarmid, a winner of 11 more matches than him this season.

Both of their matches began as low-scoring affairs. Friend had a 1-0 lead and Sturgeon

to both win the championship as a team, and also send more players to the NCAA indoor championship.

“They just need to take this into next week,” Randolph said, “at the MAC.”

Sturgeon tallied an escape eight seconds into the last period and grabbed a take down a minute later to build a safe lead.

“I knew I was going to win,” Sturgeon said. “That kid couldn’t take me down and I wasn’t going to let him.”

McDiarmid escaped Friend’s grasp for a point, then he got a takedown to make it 3-1.

Friend made a last-ditch effort to make it 3-2, but the desperation caused the lead to widen substantially in the end.

“I was hoping he was going to get tired,” Friend said “He started getting tired and I started getting tired too, but I was just trying to keep the pressure on him, but it didn’t go the way I wanted it to.”

Gymnastics dominate on floor routine

By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan gymnastics team dominated floor competitions to defeat George Washington 193.600 to 192.075 Sunday afternoon at McGuirk Arena.

After struggling on beam, the Chippewas nailed their floor routines with four out of six gymnasts scoring a 9.8 or better.

All six scored a 9.65 or better.

Senior Kristen Teubner and sophomore Brittany Petzold and freshman Halle Moraw led the way, each scoring a 9.875 on the floor.

“Coach told us we had to look past the last event,” Petzold said.

“I knew we could do what we do in practice, and that’s what we did. It worked out and everyone was excited after the floor.”

The total score for the floor event was a 49.125. The Chippewas had yet to score more than a 49 on any event this season.

“That was huge for us, and that was one of the things that really bothered me this season,” head coach Jerry Reighard said.

“We didn’t have a go-to event.

I think the team really believes

[Sports]

cm-life.com Go online to check out a photo gallery from the gymnastics win Sunday against George Washington. that we have a closer to use now in a meet. That’s really going to help us down the road.”

Both Teubner and Petzold have been the most consistent for the Chippewas this season.

The duo are the top two scorers and Reighard had nothing but praise for them.

“I call Brittany my senior, even though she is a sophomore,” Reighard said. “I look to those two as the two nails that the team can count on in events.

It’s Kristen’s job to handle the pressure and adversity. She is doing the job that the team needs her to do, and we all appreciate that.”

CMU struggled on the beam, in what Reighard called a “fall fest”. As a coach Reighard said he will make sure that doesn’t happen again for the Chippewas.

“I think after the first one fell it did get into their heads a little bit,” Reighard said. “We were frustrated on beam, and that’s not typical. We’re not going to

do that again, I think it will be remedied.”

Teubner has won back-toback Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Week awards, and this is her third straight meet scoring more than a 39 for an all-arounder.

Reighard quickly shot down the notion that Teubner was peaking.

“No, no, no, this is not peaking,” Reighard said. “She is performing, and being consistent.

Peaking will happen against Western Michigan, that’s the meet that they need to peak at, one week prior to a championship.”

Before the team faces WMU, the Chippewas have a threemeet road trip that includes California and Washington.

Both Teubner and Reighard will try and prepare the team, but neither are sure how yet.

“We haven’t even stayed at a hotel yet this year,” Reighard said. “This team doesn’t really know what being on the road is. I know it’s going to be different, we are just going to have to show up confident.”

An unexplainable loss Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter The Central Michigan men’s basketball team should not have lost on Saturday.

Plain and simple.

Texas A&M Corpus Christi was just a better team that night, and there is no excuse for that. The Islanders sit at the bottom of the Southland Conference which, quite frankly, is one of the worst conferences in Division I basketball.

They entered the game riding a six-game losing streak while compiling a dismal record of 4-21. And let’s not forget the long trip they had to take from Texas.

But the outcome of the game was largely because CMU

could not make shots it should be making. It shot 33.3 percent from the field and was 3-20 from 3-point range. Yes, 3-20.

And it’s not like most of them were contested shots.

Plus, the Chippewas had one of the most interactive crowds of the season. They were engaged from start to finish and CMU alumnus and broadcasting icon Dick Enberg was honored at halftime. But the Chippewas lack of depth proved to be costly once again.

Freshman Austin McBroom did not play because of disciplinary reasons and sophomore Finis Craddock was out with an illness leading to more minutes from bench players.

Junior Olivier Mbaigoto also left the game with an ankle injury early in the second half. But that is still no excuse to lose to a team like Corpus Christi.

Come Mid-American Conference tournament time, good teams find a way to fight

through adversity. And I do think CMU can be a good team. Its defense has shown in the past two games that it can limit opportunities for opposing offenses.

The good news is sophomore Trey Zeigler looked much more agile on the floor Saturday. After injuring his back in the game against Buffalo Feb. 8, it was clear he was not 100 percent in Tuesday’s game against Eastern Michigan. Saturday you could tell he was feeling much better.

Zeigler had a game-high 22 points and was 8-16 shooting.

He was also 6-8 from the line, an improvement over his .519 percent season percentage.

But outside of him and Derek Jackson, there was no other offensive presence.

The Chippewas need games like this from Zeigler, but they also need more from other players. It just seems like they cannot get them both in the same game.
