Troy freshmen Tyler Everlove and Royal Oak sophomore Lauren Wilson enjoy ice cream after dinner Wednesday evening in the Merrill Residential Restaurant. “I don’t have to worry about making food in between classes, and with my food allergies there is a large variety of food to pick from,” Wilson said.

Real Food on Campus ranks as most visited restaurant By Justin Hicks | Staff Reporter Real Food on Campus takes the cake as the most popular residential restaurant location at Central Michigan University when it comes to traffic. “RFoC in the Towers is the residential restaurant that sees the most traffic, simply because it is the neighborhood with the most residents on campus,” said Aramark Marketing Manager Nikki Smith. “Traffic in all residential restaurants changes year by year based on total number of residents in each of the living areas.” The other three locations, Fresh Food Company (east campus), Merrill Residential Restaurant (south campus) and Robinson Residential Restaurant (north campus), follow in popularity. “The other locations do seem to not leave food sitting out as long as Robinson, but I think that’s because there are more people eating there, allowing them to constantly put out fresh food,” said Nick Goike, Robinson Residential employee.

The Milford sophomore said Robinson Residential has a “friendlier environment than the other cafeterias on campus, though it’s the least visited.” CMU students are given the opportunity to choose from four different meal plans, ranging from unlimited

Team gets mixed reviews on new class of recruits By John Manzo Senior Reporter

Temple and Toledo had the consensus as the No. 1 and No. 2 football recruiting classes in the Mid-American Conference according to Scout.com and Rivals.com. The Central Michigan football recruiting class was ranked fourth in the MAC by Scout and 11th by Rivals. Regardless of what the team ranked, head coach Dan Enos announced the signing of 25 new student-athletes to the program Wednesday inside the media room of McGuirk Arena during signing day. Enos said he wants solid protection from the offensive and good production from the defensive lines and quarterback. “Our staff and I talk all the time about building this football team from the inside-out,” Enos said. “We felt like that was a huge priority going into this

class ... strengthening both those areas, and not for just next year, but for two years, three years and four years down the road.” The offensive and defensive lines consist of nine new athletes, leaving the remaining two for the quarterback position. Cooper Rush is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound quarterback from Lansing Catholic High School and expected to be redshirted this fall, Enos said. Cody Kater is the only recruit to sign early and be able to practice in spring ball later this semester. He originally was a Chippewa in 2010, de-committed for Cincinnati, but transferred to Grand Rapids Community College last season, leading GRCC to an 11-0 record. “This thing kind of goes full-circle,” Enos said. “We had him back on campus this year and I talked to Cody in

maintenance and planned projects.” The four main residential restaurants on campus are continuously being upgraded to satisfy the needs of CMU’s student population. In 2010, Merrill Residential Restaurant introduced its Southside Deli, which allows customers to choose the meats, cheeses and vegetables that will create their sandwich, as well as whether or not to have it toasted or served cold. The station also includes options of soup and chips as sides. “Restaurants on campus serve the same food repeatedly, which is why (Merrill) is nicer,” said Clinton Township sophomore Joshua Pierson. “The sandwich station is always a good backup, though there should be a better selection of vegetarian options.”

meals per week to a plan of 100 meals per semester. Brenda Marquardt, residential dining director, said on-campus students most commonly purchase the 14 meals per week plan, while off-campus students and faculty members are more likely to select the $200 All Flex plan. Payment for student meal plans ties into their room and board payment each year and is spent on food and improvements to the dining locations on campus. Last year, CMU spent 10 percent of its overall room and board budget — roughly $4 million — on food purchases, Marquardt said. “Typically equipment utilizes about .5 percent of the overall room and board budget,” Marquardt said. “This varies greatly year-to-year based on current age of the equipment, deferred

Concerns about collaboration efforts with the developing College of Medicine are growing within the university’s Physician Assistant Program and Department of Biology. As CMED faces a decision based on an upcoming evaluation from the Liason Committee on Medical Education for preliminary accreditation, the related academic departments hope to be better incorporated in the university’s decision-making process in the future. Ahmad Hakemi, director of the Physician Assistant Program, said he will meet to provide input with CMED officials Thursday, the first time in more than two years. “Recently, there has been an effort for us to be included to see what’s happening and closely collaborate,” Hakemi said. “But we were not included at all in the past two years.” Hakemi said he was once involved in CMED discussions when former University President Michael Rao’s administration presided over the university. “Initially, two and a half years ago, we were included and I attended all the meetings and was very involved,” Hakemi said. “I was one of the first people involved that the university and ex-president Rao talked to.”

Country music artist Rodney Atkins will be the first university-funded performance of the spring semester, Program Board said Tuesday The show will be held in McGuirk Arena on March 15. Along with Atkins, country band Gloriana and artists Tyler Hilton and Jana Kramer will also perform. Atkins first made his presence known on music charts with “Honesty (Write Me a List),” in 2003, and since released hit country songs “Take a Back Road,” “Watching You” and “If You’re Going Through Hell (Before The Devil Even Knows).” Special guests Hilton and Kramer are known for their acting abilities as well as their music, and have appeared together on the television show “One Tree Hill,” among other television and movie roles.

Program Board President Paul Sullivan said the lack of country music performances at CMU in semesters past contributed to the artist selection. “It’s a combination of the facts that we haven’t had a country singer in a while and there has been a demand for country shows,” the Allen Park senior said. Sullivan said he has heard from many students that they have been waiting for a country artist to perform, so he expects fans of the genre to be excited for the show. “I’m confident that it will be a great show and everyone who attends will really enjoy it,” Sullivan said. Although Atkins is popular in the country music world, students doubt that his performance will be as well-attended as artists in the past.

Hakemi said his department is looking forward to collaborating with CMED programs and faculty, and the shared facilities, simulation labs and standardized patients will help strengthen the PA program. “LCME’s standards are very high and if they’re going to allow a medical school to proceed, expectations are very high,� Hakemi said. “So this means that you’re going to have top people here, the best resources here, the best minds here and the best researchers here, and I really look forward to collaborating, because we have very limited resources in the PA program.� CMED Dean Ernest Yoder said he expects collaboration efforts to increase after LCME’s evaluation next week. Recently, Yoder said, a significant amount of work has been dedicated to ensuring CMED will meet the required criteria for accreditation.

REPORT CARD CMU’s campus dining program earned a B+, according to College Prowler — a site that has graded 706 universities nationwide on their campusdining programs. Around the rest of the state, the University of Michigan and Grand Valley State University also earned B+. Michigan State University earned an A-, Western Michigan University earned a B and Eastern Michigan University earned a C+. The grading system was based on student ratings of availability, value, ethnic options, late-night options, quality and variety, as well as vegetarian, vegan and organic options. One of the most common complaints against Campus Dining at CMU is the variety of food. Each of CMU’s locations follows a three-week cycle of meal options. “I feel like the locations are all about the same quality in food and while most people think FFoC is better, I think it’s just because of its design,� Megie said. “I have to tip my hat to Fresh Food for its stylish design.� Aside from the usual cycling menu, Campus Dining schedules events each year to shake the schedule up. Some of these events include Be a Kid Again night, Harvest Dinner and the Winter Gala. Smith said these special events are planned based on students’ feedback of what they’d like to see.

players who can play either offense or defense in the class. Those two-way players included in the 2012 class are Tony Annese, Kavon Fraser, Anthony Scarcelli, Jordan Fields and Brandon Greer. “Those guys are all twoway players,� Enos said. “They played running back, wide receiver, defensive back and a majority of those guys are going to start on the defensive side of the ball because we made that also a priority.� Inside-out seems to be a priority Enos and his staff have adopted, and in more ways than one. The Chippewas signed four athletes from Florida last sea-

son, but just one in this class. CMU signed 19 of its recruits from Michigan and the rest from Illinois, Indiana and Florida. “We go inside-out,� Enos said of recruiting. “Our local areas are the state of Michigan, Northern Indiana, Chicago and Wisconsin. We have nine coaches out in those areas, and we cover them.� Enos then elaborated that if the staff is not satisfied after evaluating the local areas, the team then branches out toward other areas, including Florida. There were three preferred walk-ons, making the class consist of 22 scholarship players.

“There’s a fair amount of work that was going in regard to LCME which did not invite in folks from other departments,� Yoder said. As the school continues to develop, Yoder said, he envisions CMED collaborating with the university’s relevant departments, along with the Mount Pleasant community. “We view ourselves as a community-engaged medical school and we think there’s going to be very substantial collaboration involving all of the departments at CMU, as well as the community we hope to serve,� Yoder said. Stephen Roberts, chairman of the Biology Department, said the department’s recent endorsement of the Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro stemmed from issues with CMED, a lack of shared governance and perceived devaluation of faculty during contract negotiations. “In the deliberations of the motion to endorse the Aca-

demic Senate’s vote of no confidence, some Biology faculty members expressed concerns about perceived communication lapses from the administration during the conception and planning of the College of Medicine,� Roberts said in an email. However, Roberts said development of CMED has already started to make a positive impact on the Department of Biology, including the number of students majoring in biology and biomedical sciences. “There is little doubt that the creation of the College of Medicine has played a significant role in the growth of the biology and biomedical sciences majors, which combined have grown from 450 students to 725 students in the past three years,� Roberts said. “Historically, the Biology Department has had strengths in field and aquatic biology, but in the past decade or so, has also grown and developed strength in cell biology and molecular genetics.�

“I don’t think he will be that big of a hit,� said Perry sophomore Cayley Higbee. “A rock or pop band would definitely be more successful. I haven’t even heard that Rodney Atkins was coming.� Battle Creek sophomore Jazmine Price said her friends are excited for the show, but she isn’t interested in attending. “Personally, I’m not excited at all, but I know some of my friends are crazy about him,� she said. “I think it’s good that they’re bringing him to campus though, because it’s important to appeal to everyone and bring a variety of artists.� Tickets for the show will go on sale Feb. 8 at Ticket Central, located in the CMU Events Center. Ticket prices for the event range from $8 to $17. “People who enjoy country music will enjoy the concert, I’m sure. I

scholarships

New program aids students for prestigious awards By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

A new program at Central Michigan University has the goal of assisting students in applying for prestigious scholarships. The National Scholarship Program received funding from Provost Gary Shapiro’s office last year, and began gathering materials and printing brochures. They also worked with one nominee, who failed to complete the process, said Professor Phame Camarena, director of the National Scholarship Program and Honors Program. This year the program has assisted a Rhodes Scholarship nominee, two Fulbright Program nominees and a Goldwater Scholarship nominee. Camarena said there will be a Truman Scholarship nominee as well. “One of our key challenges is making sure faculty and students understand what these

scholarship programs are,” he said. “So really educating the university community is our top priority — it’s our first goal.” The program is not exclusively for Honors students. Camarena said any high-achieving student is eligible to utilize the program, and said many scholarship programs have a long-standing history at other universities. He said it speaks to the improving strength of CMU’s campus that the Shapiro recognizes the need to provide a program tailored to recruit high-achieving students and assist them in putting together a strong application. “We’re a much stronger university than we were 20 or 30 years ago,” Camarena said. “We’re becoming a top university, and if we’re going to be in that same pool of schools, we should be doing the same things.”

clay time

Students learn from professional artist workshop Thursday By Chad Mitchell | Staff Reporter Three professional artists spent two days demonstrating their techniques in the Drawing Clay Workshop for the first time in years. Artists Malcolm Mobutu Smith, Justin Rothshank and Israel Davis each presented their own methods of creating with clay Thursday in the North Art Studio. The three will also present today. Central Michigan University Art Gallery Director Anne Gochenour said it wasn’t easy getting the event organized, but it was well worth it. A $6,000 grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, along with funds from the past few years of clay sales from the CMU Ceramics Society made the event possible, Gochenour said. Mount Pleasant senior Meghan Borland said she was very excited to see the artists come to CMU. “We’ve been trying to get professional artists to come for years,” Borland said. “This is a big deal.” Some of the artists, including Israel Davis, brought tools they made themselves for their demonstrations. Borland said the handmade tools were part of what made the presentation so fascinating.

“It’s interesting to see how they do their work,” she said. “It’s reassuring to know that it’s not that easy.” Macomb senior Bridgette Crockett made sure to see part of every demonstration. She said Rothshank’s spontaneous method of throwing his clay was particularly interesting. In the future, Crockett said she hopes to be an art therapist for children with special needs, which is why she takes an interest in demonstrations like these. “I like the process of art,” she said. “It’s very healing.” Rothshank’s spontaneous methods may be one reason he can support himself solely as an artist. He said he’s never working on just one piece. It takes him two to three weeks for each, and he generally has 20 to 30 pieces in the making. He said he was happy to be invited to CMU for this workshop and felt like it

was a worthwhile chance to show his work style. “All three of us worked with surface decorations,” Rothshank said. “We showed the students a broad spectrum of how to work with clay.” Grand Rapids artist Israel Davis said the students could get a lot out of the demonstrations. Davis demonstrated his work with screen printing. His workshop was notable in part because of his homemade equipment. Davis said he models his equipment off of commercial equivalents. He said it’s not difficult for him, but he’s always been good at working with his hands. Davis also said he was happy to be invited to share his knowledge. “It looked like a great show,” Davis said. “To be asked to do it was a great honor.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Data center moving to new building Design for secure space in progress By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

A new data center for the university will be moved to a different spot on campus to help accommodate needed equipment. The new building, approved by the board of trustees in December, will be located between the Combined Services Building and the Engineering and Technology Building, said Roger Rehm, vice president for Information Technology. The cost is not to exceed $5.4 million. “The current space is not designed to be a data center,” Rehm said. “It is poorly

designed for both electrical and climate control systems and has too much vulnerability to water damage.” The data center is expected to be completed by June of 2013. The selection of the contractor should happen sometime in July, said Steve Lawrence, vice president of Facilities Management. The current location is in Foust Hall and “evolved” into a data center shortly after the hall’s opening, Rehm said. “The new facility will be better, because it is designed from the ground up to serve as a data center,” he said. One of its main purposes will be to store the equipment with space for more to be added in the future. “As such, it will be situated at a higher elevation than the present facility,” Rehm said. “And it is designed to

“The new facility will be better, because it is designed from the ground up to serve as a data center.”

But numbers increased from 2009-10 By Lonnie Allen Staff Reporter

More Central Michigan University students are using the credit/no credit option, but the number remains significantly less than more than a decade ago. In 2010-11, 553 students chose to use the option, an increase from the 485 during 2009-10. The number, however, has been on a steady decline since 2002-03, when the number was more than 2,300. When credit/no credit was introduced in 1994-95, 3,873 students took advantage of it, and it rose to 4,870 in 1995-96.

From 1995-96 to 1996-97, the number dropped from more than 4,800 students using credit/no credit to more than 1,800. Registrar Karen Hutslar said she was surprised when she looked at those numbers and could not explain the drastic drop. “The numbers have gone down as enrollment went up,” she said. “I would have expected them to rise as our student population has risen.” Credit/no credit gives students an option to take a course and not worry about it affecting their grade point average. A grade of C or better gives credit and C- and below gives no credit, and Hutslar said it gives students a chance to explore classes outside their field of knowledge.

Academic center attendance increasing By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

Help centers on campus designed to assist students in writing and math have seen a significant jump within the last year. The Writing Center, with four locations on campus, added 2,000 sessions during the 2010-11 academic year, said Steven Bailey, assistant professor of composition and rhetoric and interim director of the Writing Center. Sessions do not necessarily mean separate students each time, as many students return multiple times for help, he said. The Math Assistance Center has also seen similar increases in attendance recently. In previous semesters there were approximately 200 sessions per week, but they have since rose to 300 per week during the fall 2011 semester.

Math Assistance Center Director Reggie Becker said the growing popularity of the center is because math is a subject most students are required to take, with some majors requiring several math courses. “We try and get tutors to take teachers’ perspectives and stress the difference between teaching and telling,” Becker said. “The tutors give leading questions to help get them to an answer.” Bailey said students are encouraged to visit the writing center with assignments in any stage in the process for any class, genre or major. “Writing is something that ... is a collaborative process in the sense of learning to become a better writer, and the Writing Center supplies that,” Bailey said.

Steve Lawrence, Facilities Management vice president provide better and highly flexible power and climate control systems.” The data center is expected to hold servers and contain a large electrical service room with a backup generator. “It’s really just a utility building; people will only go there for maintenance,” Lawrence said. Most of the time, the building is expected to be empty. As of now, the only thing finished is the design. When the rest of the design is done, a contractor will be

found, Lawrence said. The location for the new data center was chosen in case an addition was needed, along with any extra equipment. “It’s good to plan ahead,” Lawrence said. “Plus, it’s a good location.” Construction is planned to commence in August, after the design is finished, Lawrence said. “We (just) want a more secure and reliable place,” Lawrence said. university@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Komen controversy loses sight of purpose

For the cure?

protest when the decision was made last December. The Komen Foundation has done an incredible job of increasing breast cancer awareness and advocating for research and care. The color pink itself, from ribbons to yogurt lids to Major League Baseball bats, has become a recognized advocate for awareness and support. Their accomplishments as a nonprofit deserve and regularly receive praise — all of which makes the Planned Parenthood controversy even more upsetting. Though Planned Parenthood is indeed an organization that provides abortion services at some clinics, cutting off funding for purely breast cancer preventionrelated services because of that fact paints an extremely radical picture of their work. According to 2009 data obtained by The Washington Post, abortion services made up only 3 percent of Planned Parenthood’s $11.4 million worth of provided servic-

T

he developing controversy surrounding the Susan G. Komen Foundations’ decision last December, revealed this week, to suspend funding of breast cancer screenings for low-income women at Planned Parenthood clinics once again reminds us of the seemingly irreconcilable differences between the so called “Pro Life” and “Pro Choice” movements. The controversial shows the influence personal conviction regarding the issue, however wellintentioned, has on Americans, and it is an example of politics interfering with a universally recognized good cause. The conflict boils down to a rule adopted by the foundation to suspend funding to any organization under formal investigation by a government body. Upon its investigation by Florida Congressman Cliff Stearns, a staunch anti-abor-

tion advocate, the Komen Foundation immediately suspended funding of Planned Parenthood’s breast cancer screening program for low-income women. The move appears to be a calculated tactic by Komen’s Senior Vice President for Public Policy Karen Handel, a former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and anti-abortion campaigner. The intention of the inquiry policy was transparent enough that upon its adoption, Mollie Williams, Komen’s head public policy expert, resigned in

es. Far ahead of abortion, cancer screening and prevention makes up 16 percent, statistics that clearly refute the notion that Planned Parenthood is an organization strictly focused on providing abortion services. The organization pursued a policy of appeasing those on one side of a divide and potentially irreconcilable political issue rather than practice its stated goal of advocating for and treating breast cancer. Breast cancer ultimately wounds and often destroys the lives and families of women on either side of the debate surrounding abortion. The Komen Foundation has made breast cancer an issue well-known to every American household, and now is the time to fund action designed to prevent and treat the illness it has publicized so cleverly. Giving in to the political maneuvering of a Pro-Life politician may be causing preventable deaths, and that’s simply unacceptable.

Love like crazy People always talk about a defining moment in their life when they learned a lot about themselves and the people around them. A moment where everything fell apart, eventually fell back together, and the important things in life became crystal clear. I had never been that person. I had never had a moment like that, and I was beginning to think it wouldn’t ever happen — until Aug. 26, 2011 rolled around. It started as a typical early-semester weekend, with nothing better to do in this town than wreak havoc on Main Street and try our best to avoid the cops. My best friend came up for the weekend and we party-hopped with friends for a while, until we decided to embrace what Main Street does best, and headed to a frat party. My friend’s mom had called earlier in the night, but neither of us was in any state to talk to our parents, so he ignored the call, put his phone in his pocket and didn’t look at it again. That was at 11 p.m. At 1 a.m., he checked his phone and had missed calls like nobody’s business. He dialed his voicemail and heard a message that would change our lives forever. His little brother, Ryan, had been hit by a car, and it was bad. Really bad. To make a long story short, we were rushed to Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, where we learned that Ryan was in a coma, had numerous broken bones and had needed brain surgery already. Little did we know, eight more surgeries would be in Ryan’s future. As we sat in the waiting room, I watched a mother fight to be strong during the hardest time of her life, an uncle and grandmother stare into space searching for answers, and a brother — my closest friend on this planet — try so hard to believe that things were going to be alright when there was a very real possibility they wouldn’t be. And as much as I wanted to help, to say or do something to fix everything, there was nothing I could do. Except be there. In that moment, I understood what people were always talking about. Throughout the next four months of Ryan’s hospitalization, my small town came together like a family. I relied on people more than I ever had in the past and I learned to take each and every moment of life for what it’s worth. Now that I’m the person sharing the story of a defining life moment, I want to leave people with one message. Appreciate the people in your life. Tell your mom you love her, spend time with your dad, and even if they piss you off, tell your siblings how much they mean to you, because in an instant, everything can change and you’d give anything in this world to rewind time. I think Lee Brice got it right when he said “Never let your prayin’ knees get lazy, and love like crazy.” Central Michigan Life, the independent voice of Central Michigan University, is edited and published by students of Central Michigan University every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the fall and spring semesters, and every Wednesday during CMU’s summer sessions.

Effective, timely funding for transportation We like to joke about Michigan only having two seasons, winter and construction, but if you drive often you know that our roads are in bad shape. Over time this erosion of city streets and freeways causes wear and tear on vehicles that ends up costing drivers a lot of money. We joke about the orange barrels, but the truth is, we need to

invest in fixing our roads, and we need to invest in putting Michigan’s construction workers back on the job. Fixing our crumbling infrastructure will make our state more attractive to new business, and it creates good-paying jobs right here at home. We need to convince elected officials in Lansing to stop their

partisan antics and make this a priority. Actually, some bills are under consideration now there that would more realistically fund road and other infrastructure construction and repair. This is way overdue. We need it ASAP. James S. Moreno Mount Pleasant

Winter? Spring? Tuesday it was a balmy 50 degrees Farenheit, where a few days before that, it was in the 30s with blustery snow. I spend part of every day sitting and looking out at the the window wondering what today’s weather is going to be, just wondering. It could start out dull, bleak, the sky covered in dreary clouds, then by mid-day the sun could break through and be blinding. Michigan doesn’t know what it wants. When Michigan gets into one of its “moods,” where one day it’s giving off wicked sunburn skies and the next hypothermia could set in with just a few seconds of exposure, people here react in strange ways. Michiganders should be accustomed to temperature fluctuations by now, but apparently our bodies and brains don’t know how to keep up. One day the population is bundled up in winter coats, fuzzy mittens, wool hats and snow boots, then the next those same people are wearing sweatshirts, while others seem to think they’re in the midst of the epic heat wave of the century. From being bundled up to rocking the sweatshirt with the booty shorts and fuzzy boots, this is Michigan’s reality. We deal with it, laughing off the fact that it happens to us and that we are victims of this mixed-weather crime. Here are some possibilities of what one might see: men wear workout shorts and T-shirts while girls skimp on the clothing because the temperature rose by 20 degrees in one night, and in Michigan, that is looked at oddly for a moment then a head is shaken and the sight has been registered and accepted by the brain. I sit back and giggle when the gust of wind blows between the campus buildings and the girls scream in chilled surprise. Their thought could almost be heard, “What the heck? It is like spring and stuff. Why is this wind being cold?” The reality of it is it’s winter and Michigan is messing with the masses by throwing a spring-time day out there in the freezing cold of late January. We are an odd breed, Michiganders. We have grown thick-skinned, because that is how our weather has conditioned us. Hot then cold, cold then freezing, freezing to mild, then back to cold. We know that when we walk outside and aren’t instantly chilled to the bone, that it is a good day to ride with the windows down, to bust out the motorcycle — heck, that it’s time to get our tan on. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming innocence. Having been born and raised in Michigan, I participate in this weirdness as well. I am that girl who travels to Texas over Spring Break and busts out her short shorts and tank tops when all the Texans are bundled up in sweatshirts and long johns. It’s what our state has done to us. Let us embrace it and laugh at our own ridiculousness. Welcome to Michigan, where the weather has a short attention span and we just try to keep up.

Central Michigan Life well. PC courses. PC depts. Hyphenated-American depts and events. Duplication of depts. And, get faculty out of research and teaching more classes. You could get rid of half the faculty at all Michigan public schools and cut tuition in half. That’s what Obama should have said. I mean his teleprompter!

We raise the money through the generous support we get from Community members and beyond.

The Rose Sale

Mt. Pleasant has three major fundraiseRS

Sale •• Newspaper Raffles - Vacation Tickets • Rose Sale

The club and its members volunteer their time and go out into the Community and beyond and sell Roses, Raffle tickets and Newspapers during the Kiwanis year. Our total gross income from the three fundraisers this past year was $24,668.00.

Shoes and Boots Project There are over 7,000 children enrolled in the school districts located in Isabella County. A significant percentage of these children are from low income families who are either underemployed, working at entry level jobs without benefits, are headed up by a single parent, or are receiving social welfare assistance. For over 50 years our Kiwanis Club has provided shoes and boots for these children in an effort to mitigate the effects of low family income, to encourage good school attendance, and to promote health and safety. This project was initiated by Harold Stinson, a Kiwanian who was also a school social worker in the Mt. Pleasant schools. The need has increased dramatically over the past years. In 2004 the Club spent $700, while this year it has budgeted $3,000 for this project.

Community Soup Kitchen The Mt. Pleasant community, recognizing that there were persons in our community who were not able to meet their basic needs, including regular nourishing meals, established a Soup Kitchen through the cooperation of local churches, organizations and individuals. The Soup Kitchen has a minimal paid staff, but relies mainly on the use of community volunteers. The Kiwanis Club provides two members each week to serve on the food line. On the average, close to 100 persons are served each day. In addition the Club provides financial support and maintains a member on the Soup Kitchen Board of Directors.

Michigan Special Olympics Carnival The summer games of the Michigan Special Olympics are held each year on the campus of Central Michigan University. Over 3,000 athletes participate. Since 1975, the Mt. Pleasant Kiwanis Club has sponsored a carnival for the entertainment of the athletes. Simple but enjoyable games are used. Many of the athletes have problems with motor coordination and muscle control. Others have impairment of sight, hearing or ambulation. The games in the carnival must allow for success and enjoyment for all these athletes. The Club provides the booths, prizes, and volunteers. Other Kiwanis Clubs from Michigan also participate.

Dean B. Russell

(1912-2011)

On February 9, 2011 the Mt. Pleasant Kiwanis Club lost an active and dedicated Kiwanian. Dean was inducted into the Kiwanis Club of Mt. Pleasant in 1958 and remained an involved member and ambassador of Kiwanis for more than half of his 99 years. Dean served as Club President in 1960 and participated fully in Club activities. Dean’s family fondly recalls the many friendships made and events Dean experienced through his Kiwanis connections, particularly him working at his first Kiwanis pancake dinner fundraiser, flippin’ and grinnin’ at the griddle, a sight the family never before witnessed. After serving in the Army Air Corps as a flight instructor during World War II, Dean moved to Michigan where he began a long career in the oil and gas business. In addition to his Kiwanis Club involvement, Dean was active in the community, serving as a member of several city commissions and boards. Dean was one of a kind. In his later years, he did not allow his health issues interfere with his dedication to the values of Kiwanis nor his weekly Club meeting attendance. Dean’s service to youth, devotion to his family and community will be long remembered and appreciated.

Kiwanis Club of Mt. Pleasant 2012

Circle K at CMU Circle K is part of the Kiwanis family geared toward college/university student involvement. For the 2011-2012 university year, Circle K at CMU boasts a membership of 49 members. Circle K members participate in leadership development, service projects on a weekly basis, and social opportunities. Members attend leadership development activities on campus which include; Alpha Leadership Experience, Connections Conference, along with leadership conferences sponsored by the Michigan District of Circle K International. CMU Circle K has sponsored leadership training days which include the CMU rock wall. The main focus of CMU Circle K is service and volunteerism. Each week, members choose from a variety of volunteer events scheduled by the Service Committee. Organizations that use Circle K for volunteering are the Red Cross Mobile Food Pantry, sponsored by Community Compassion Network, the animal shelter, the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, the Red Cross, and the annual “Haunted Yard”. Fund raising during the year helps support the annual Kids Against Hunger food packaging. CMU Circle K purchases the ingredients to make a vitamin-fortified, rice-soy food package that feeds children in the local area, children in natural disaster areas, and in third world countries. The Kiwanis family gathers to package the meals along with other CMU and Mt. Pleasant students attending. 10,000 to 20,000 meals are packages within a few hours on a Saturday morning in the spring. CMU students interested in volunteering can see how Circle K helps the community and the world by attending a meeting on Monday at 8:00 p.m. in Powers Hall 136.

Key Club Key Club is the high school component of the Kiwanis Family. “Because We Care” is the MPHS Key Club motto. The organization is a student led organization. MPHS Key Club provides its 100 plus members with opportunities to build character, develop leadership, and to provide service to the community. MPHS Key Club has service projects in both at school functions and in community activities. The members provide humble manpower to help school events run smoothly, including helping at sporting events and at new student freshman orientation. In the community, Key Club members help at the “Haunted Yard”, distributing food for the mobile food pantry, ringing bells for the Salvation Army, working for “Toys for Tots”, and setting up at the Disability Awareness Fair.

K.C. the mascot joined our club in 2010. He regularly appears at Club events to entertain attendees. With a soft spot for children, he is a great addition to the club. K.C. enjoys participating in the mascot basketball game at CMU and handing out dictionaries to the local elementary schools.

The Dictionary Project The goal of this program is to assist all students in becoming good writers, active readers, creative thinkers, and resourceful learners by providing them with their own personal dictionary. The dictionaries are a gift to each student to use at school and at home for years to come. Educators see third grade as the dividing line between learning to read and reading to learn. Club members, including K.C. the Kangaroo, have made it a priority to distribute dictionaries to our local schoolchildren for the past three years and look forward to continuing this project for years to come. In 2011 we distributed 584 dictionaries to the following schools: Mt. Pleasant Schools (Ganiard, Pullen, Vowles), Sacred Heart Academy, St. Joseph the Worker, Beal City Public, Morey Charter Academy, Renaissance Academy, Shepherd Public, Weidman Public, and Winn

Fun Community Projects

Key Club members meet briefly each week at 7:15 at MPHS. Key Clubbers use social media to keep in contact and to arrange service projects and social events. Executive board members use time efficiently for a small amount of time to communicate and manage the business of the club.

Builders Club Sacred Heart Academy Builders Club is a student-led service organization. Builders Club, as part of the Kiwanis family, is the largest service organization for middle school students. SHA Builders were established in 2009/2010 school year.

A Helping Haunt

Service leadership is the prime motivation for SHA Builders. Service leadership is the next step beyond service learning. Once a young person fully understands the concept of learning by helping others, he or she begins to grow personally as a leader. Opportunities are available to develop this leadership, improve self esteem, increase civic engagement, and learn life skills through service work.

This is the second year local businesswoman Kris Roethlisberger donated a total of $1,500 to the Young Kiwanians. Specifically, $1,000 to Circle K Club and $500 to Key Club. Kris raises the money through her “Haunted Yard” each Halloween. Kris and her husband, Mike, and a handful of others set up a haunted theme park in their backyard. Local families bring their young kids to the haunted yard to get “scared”. Families are asked to make any donation amount they like. The Circle K Club and Key Club members volunteer their time at the haunted yard and help Kris scare the kids. The Kiwanis Club of Mt. Pleasant is very appreciative of Kris for making this a great Fun Raiser for our young Kiwanians.

Activities in which SHA Builders participate are “Miles for Miracles”, UNICEF, Christmas caroling and making Christmas cards for nursing home residents, Toys for Tots, collecting school items and clothing for the poor in the Dominican Republic, volunteering with the other Kiwanis Family in “Kids Against Hunger” packaging and many more events at Sacred Heart Academy. Servant Leadership is being a servant first and then you want to serve even more.

Eagle Award – Dave Zamarron

Kiwanis Kids The youngest club of the Kiwanis Family is Kiwanis Kids. Morey Charter Academy K-Kids is a service club for elementary students. Members of the CMU Circle K along with a member of the Mt. Pleasant Kiwanis Club, lead the meetings of the K-Kids. Members are taught core values such as caring, responsibility, respect, along with self esteem programs.

Each year the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes 12 outstanding members of service clubs or organizations with an Eagle Award. This award honors individuals who soar above the rest and whose dedication and commitment to his or her organization is beyond expectations. Dave Zamarron was nominated by the Kiwanis Club and named as a 2011 Eagle Award recipient for his continuing and significant role in the organization of the annual Special Olympics Carnival that provides entertainment for the 3,000 plus Special Athletes participating in the Special Olympics on the Campus of Central Michigan University.

Programs are broken into three components: service, character education, and academic achievement. The lessons of leadership and self development are introduced through learning to plan, setting goals, working with others, volunteering in the schools, and celebrating successes.

If what you’ve just read sounds interesting to you, we invite you to any of our Monday lunch meetings held at Cheers Restaurant starting at noon. Contact President Sherm Rowley at (989) 772-1529. The meal is on us.

Hope to see you soon!

Some restaurants staying open later By Stephanie Titsworth Staff Reporter

The first thing Matthew Weigl does when he leaves the bar with his friends is go look for a place to eat. Many restaurants in Mount Pleasant stay open late, even 24 hours, to satisfy the late-night hunger of Weigl and other customers. “When you’re coming from the bar at 2 a.m., you’re looking for something to eat,” the Saginaw junior said. “Everyone has the munchies at 2 a.m.” Arby’s, 1224 S. Mission St, is open until 3 a.m., extending their hours a few years ago to meet demands. Shift Manager Raymond Resetz said the restaurant’s peak hours are around lunchtime and later at night.

Anne Miller, the program coordinator, said there is a careful screening process to select the university nominees. “Not everyone who submits a pre-application is a CMU nominee,” she said. “They are not wasting time, but maybe they’re not the nominee this year, but maybe next year with a little bit of guidance from faculty and (Camarena).” The screening process is designed to ensure the nominee selected will have the commitment and ability to put together a strong application, said Camarena. Miller said the program has teamed up with the Writing Center with good results.

Not all departments have this option for majors. Chemistry, biology, journalism and marketing are among the departments that do not allow it, Hutslar said. “This policy was in place before I came here,” Hutslar said. “From what I heard, they wanted to have this grading option, and it would really enable students to maybe explore and take courses and not have this fear of getting a bad grade and impact their GPA.” Hutslar said students today are not finding the option as appealing. “If a students gets a D, it’s (no credit),” she said. “Sure, a D is a bad grade, but at least they receive credit for the letter grade.” West Branch senior Sarah

Houghton Lake senior Justin Wigard said he uses the Writing Center about once a year, but it is a great help. “My visits have helped me rationalize my own writing,” Wigard said. “The tutor will, after a swell introduction, have you read off your first few pages of your writing. This forces you to speak aloud your thoughts, and gives you a better sense of what phrases sound odd, what phrases you repeat, etc.” Other students who attend the center feel the same way, according to surveys the Writing Center regularly distributes. During the 2010-11 academic year, 98.3 percent of students ranked their overall

Resetz said Arby’s has thought about leaving the business open 24 hours, but managers believe it wouldn’t be worth it. “We’ve talked about it, but nothing has been done,” he said. “We just wouldn’t get the business after 3 a.m.” And with business doing well, Resetz said Arby’s finds no threat from other local restaurants staying open 24 hours. Lil’ Chef, 1720 S. Mission St., opened in 1993 and has been open 24 hours for as long as server Lauren Bottoff can remember, who said the peak hours for the business are weekend mornings. “We get most of our business from the church-goers on Sunday mornings, but we do get a lot of business once the bars close,” the Ann Arbor senior

said. “Lil’ Chef has been open a long time, so we’re doing something right.” Menna’s Joint, 1418 S. Mission St., is open Sunday through Wednesday until 3 a.m. and Thursday through Saturday until 4 a.m. Crew member Jenna Hogle said the restaurant has no desire to extend their hours and stay open 24 hours, because the business after 4 a.m. wouldn’t be worth it. The restaurant stays busy throughout the day with the peak hour of 2:30 a.m. “We get a lot of the bar crowd,” Hogle said. “A lot of people come strolling in once O’Kelly’s closes. We’ve had to call cabs for people (who) fall asleep in the booths.” metro@cm-life.com

She said after a nominee has been selected, the actual application process is extensive and requires a large effort from the student, faculty members and the National Scholarship Program. Camarena said initial meetings with students often result in the student deciding for himself or herself not to attempt to secure the nomination, because of the low chance of getting the scholarship and the amount of work involved in building a strong application. “There’s a misperception on the part of students who first call,” Camarena said. “You’re not just going to type in a couple of short answers. The essay you write for this will be the best essay you’ve ever written in your college career, and it will be edited more times than anything

you’ve ever written in your college career.” Camarena also stressed these scholarships are more than awards or tuition vouchers, and a student should not think of it that simply. He said they are scholarship programs that come with the expectation that a student will continue leadership in their community, discipline and the world. They also provide a network of program alumni. “That’s part of what makes them so prestigious and competitive, because whoever’s the recipient of these things is, for the rest of their career, identified as a Udall scholar, for example, and is part of a network of individuals who they can access,” Camarena said.

Fox is taking her first credit/no credit class and said she contemplated taking two, but was advised against it. Fox said credit/no credit isn’t an option many students know about. When she talked to other students in her classes, she said they were surprised to hear about it and asked her how it worked. “I knew I had to take 18 credits and I thought maybe I should utilize that so I wouldn’t be to overwhelmed my final semester,” she said. Michelle Howard, director of academic advising and assistance, said academic advisers are reporting the credit/no credit grade option and related questions are more common among students who have been here for several semesters. “Graduating seniors who elect credit/no credit during their last semester need to be careful that

the C grade or higher is earned, or they risk receiving no credit for a required class for graduation,” Howard said. “It is important that students electing the credit/ no credit option take the class seriously, as grades lower than C will result in no credit.” Fox, a psychology major, said she wanted to take a class topic she didn’t know much about that would challenge her intellectually and fit into her schedule. Now she realizes all that is required and slacking off is tough to do. “I’ve never gotten below a Bin college ever, so I thought this option wouldn’t be a big deal,” she said. “I definitely need to stay on top of this class, because if I get (no credit) and don’t graduate, that will definitely be a big issue for me.”

experience with the Writing Center to be excellent or good. “I did not learn to write by locking myself in a room,” Bailey said. “I learned from other writers.” Holt sophomore Devan Walworth has been to the Math Assistance Center several times in the past, but said she loved her experience there and said she is likely to go more frequently in the future. “The tutors were great,” Walworth said. “They have teachers there too, so the areas are fully covered. I even talked to another (calculus) teacher today (who) helped me a lot.” Grand Ledge freshman Kaiti Blundy visits the Math Assistance Center about once a week, and said the extra assistance really helps her with her math work. “Usually my visits are very

helpful and can help me understand the material better than in class, because I get personal attention and a new perspective or explanation of the material,” Blundy said. The help is apparent in students who attend the Math Assistance Center, Becker said. “It appears that people who come to (the) math center have a lower DEW (Drop, Exit, Withdrawal) rate than those who don’t attend,” he said. Walworth said she looks forward to attending in the future, as her math classes continue to get more difficult. “It was a relaxing environment with people (who) really helped me understand the section that I was covering,” she said.

Brothers raising funds for Journey of Hope charity trip By Anna McNeill Staff Reporter

Three Pi Kappa Phi brothers will embark on a philanthropic cross-country journey from San Francisco to Washington D.C. this summer. This is the 25th year that Push America, an advocacy organization, will host the Journey of Hope. The event involves Pi Kappa Phi members traveling in groups of road crews and cyclists to raise awareness for those with disabilities. The students had different reactions when they first heard about the program. “I jumped on the chance right away,” said Farmington Hills senior Spencer Haworth in an email. “I want to raise awareness for people with disabilities because of my mother and twin brother who suffer from physical and mental diseases. I want to give my time and effort to people who need it much more than I do.” While Haworth decided to participate because of family, his Pi Kappa Phi brothers had their own reasons for wanting to join the journey. “I went to a conference and there was a presentation about Journey of Hope and I talked to one of the brothers (who) had attended. I would have signed up right away if I would have had Wi-Fi,” said Dearborn Heights junior Keith Jones in an email. “I’ve never done something like this before, so I want to get the experience on what it’s like to work with people and to understand the abilities they really have.” Rockwood sophomore Jeremy Osborne said he decided to get involved after

hearing about the experiences of other Pi Kappa Phi members. “I want to change the lives of people with disabilities and overall raise awareness for the everyday problems he or she may face,” he said in an email. “Just the ability to see everyone smile and forget about what their disability may be for an hour or a whole day is amazing, and to leave them with a smile on their face is my main goal throughout the trip.” Although the three students won’t be cycling, they will assist as part of the road crew. “The road crew is essentially the people (who) will communicate with sponsors, set up events, places to sleep, finance the trip and make sure the bikers are always healthy and on-route when they are biking,” Jones said. “We make sure we go from point A to point B in one piece.” The three agreed they are participating to improve their lives by helping others,

and they have also started raising awareness to friends and acquaintances in the community. “I think that this event is a wonderful way to raise awareness about disabilities, not only to the people that they will encounter along the way, but for people like me who previously had no knowledge of this event or what they stood for, and now I am going to contribute what I can and keep up with their updates along the way,” said Port Huron senior McKenzie Bade, who is friends with the three. They are hoping for the support of the community as they fundraise to make this adventure possible. “I am very proud of them and I know that they will make a difference in a lot of people’s lives,” said Pi Kappa Phi Vice President and Lapeer junior Radu Feneser. “They are all great guys (who) love giving back.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Enos has good recruiting plan

John Manzo Senior Reporter

Brooke Mayle/Staff photographer

Central Michigan football head coach Dan Enos introduced 25 new players to the program Wednesday afternoon at McGuirk Arena.

Signed, sealed and delivered Stressful, relieving, exciting day for football coaches By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

Dan Enos walked into the Indoor Athletic Center just after 7 a.m. Wednesday and went straight to the fax machine surrounded by his assistants. It was national signing day for the head football coach, and all the coaches were alert early ensuring a solid freshmen class for next year. “I can never sleep very good before signing day,” offensive coordinator Mike Cummings said to a co-worker while waiting for faxes from recruits to come in. “It’s like Christmas time.” A total of 21 high school athletes faxed in their signed letters of intent to play for Central Michigan as scholarship players. That means an additional 25 players will join the team. For coaches it can be difficult to trust 18-year old kids’ promises to come before they officially sign. “You never know,” Enos said. “If you’re going to have a situation (player decommits) on signing day, there’s normally events that lead up to it on signing day to give you a clue that it’ll happen.” Enos also gets worried a bigger school will try to “poach” a recruit in late in the process. “I feel that if I was at a Big Ten school I would’ve recruited (players from this class),” Enos said. “I’m always worried if someone swoops down late. You put all the time into them, it would’ve been very disappointing.” For Enos, his morning started at 5:30 a.m., although he came in a few minutes after 7 a.m. because it was his turn to take the kids to school. But during the drive he was getting calls from recruits and assistant coaches. “To coaches it’s like another game day,” said Athletics Director Dave Heeke.

“You win or lose.” Defensive coordinator Joe Tumpkin said he was less stressful because they had the commitments for so long, and felt very confident in the kids’ commitments. Each recruit has an assistant coach assigned to recruiting him. Those coaches called Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night just confirming there would be no problems Wednesday morning sending in the ever-important fax. Either the fax comes in first or the players call their assistant coaches who congratulate them or tell them they need to re-send the fax becaues of errors. Then Enos talks to the recruit. “I always tell them to enjoy the day and enjoy the moment,” Enos said. “Not many people can say they signed a Division I scholarship to play football, they should be proud and enjoy the day. But starting tomorrow, better get to work.” Shortly after 10 a.m. when the final fax came through, the coaches piled in Enos’ office to watch a highlight film of the newest Chippewas. “I enjoy doing that, going through highlight video,” Enos said. “Getting excited about what this young man could be. Trying to figure out which one will be Titus Davis, freshman All-American (last year). I’d like to think there’s one this year.” That time was also spent already working toward next year’s recruits. “We got calls from guys we’ve already offered for next year,” said the head coach entering his third season. “We’re already moving. We’ve been offering guys today and saying ‘Hey in a year from today where are you going to be going? We want to be on your list.’” The hollers from coaches watching the highlights could be heard down the hall in the IAC. Coaches continued to down coffee throughout the morning and joke with each other while paying attention to what other teams’ recruit-

ing classes looked like. With confidence in the commitments from the recruits, coaches were loose throughout the morning. From Enos poking fun at an assistant who watches Jersey Shore to telling Titus Davis he’ll be redshirted next season just to continue to have to do the early morning workouts, the comedy show did not stop. “At Cincinnati one year we had a morning workout before signing day and were late getting to the fax machine,” Enos recalled. “The machine didn’t even have paper in it, and no one was there so kids couldn’t send in their fax.” He did say it turned out to be a great class. But every school around the country has to sit patiently around the fax machine and rely on old technology that easily fails. Several players called with problems working with the fax machine at their high schools. “One of dads asked me why don’t they scan a document then email it,” Enos said. “I don’t know, good question. We’re still running around with a fax machine, if it broke we should have another one standby. All the work and time and money you put in these guys and your waiting on a fax? Maybe that’ll change someday.” The days and nights spent recruiting these players are what make the coaches so stressful if they will come. Enos says the day is more of a banquet and celebration to recruiting. He gives his staff four days off after signing day to “reconnect and introduce themselves to their families.” “The recruiting process is like a bunch of game days,” Enos said. “You recruit against other schools, there’s intensity there and competition there. We have to be on, if you have one bad meeting or the energy level is not there, you can lose them. We’re on that emotional rollercoaster. “You’re exhausted after a day recruiting.”

and two that most likely will convert over to the position – knowing that his offensive personnel is more advanced than the defense. Enos said in the press conference that people told him that you need to outscore opponents in the MAC to win games. He said he didn’t believe it, and that there can be winning as a result of good defense and that’s what his team plans to do. Enos gets it. The starting job at the quarterback position is Ryan Radcliff’s to lose. With time, I think he can have a better season. Radcliff, combined with a solid rushing attack and playmaker wide receivers, can be a potent offense. That side of the ball can compete, but the defense couldn’t. With the recruits from last season and this one, the Chippewas should improve. Enos for president? Not quite, but the plan is set, from the inside-out.

Former star returns to coach By Aaron McMann University Editor

He was “regrouping,” fired after three seasons as head football coach from then-Division II North Carolina Central. So Mose Rison got in contact with an old friend, Plas Presnell, director of football operations at Central Michigan. It was last October, and the Chippewas were traveling to Raleigh, N.C., a three-hour jaunt from his home in Charlotte, to play North Carolina State. Rison, a standout running back and former assistant coach at CMU, had not gotten a chance to see his alma mater play during the season. Three hours later, following CMU’s 38-24 loss, despite posting 427 yards of offense, Rison was impressed with what he saw. “Who was that guy?,” Rison asked Presnell, referring to receiver Courtney Williams, who made three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown. “Who was that guy?,” Rison said, referring to Titus Davis, who had one catch for 50 yards.

“Those kids are freshmen,” Presenell replied. “You got to be kidding me,” Rison exclaimed, “Freshmen?” Three months later, Rison was out of the contract that prevented him from coaching during the 2011 year. Now he’s back at CMU, named wide receivers coach Wednesday. Rison, a Flint native and cousin of former NFL standout receiver Andre Rison, played football at CMU from 1974 to 1977, a part of the Chippewas’ 1974 Division II national championship team. As a running back, he rushed for 2,838 yards during four seasons. In 1977, as a senior, Rison was named first-team All-MidAmerican Conference after rushing for more than 1,241 yards and 12 touchdowns. “He was a great player here,” Enos said. “He’s got a ton of experience, a lot of knowledge, and he’ll be able to recruit the state, which we’ve made a huge priority for this football program. He’s an outstanding wide receivers coach, and we’re very blessed and thankful to have Mose with us.”

The Will A play by Sandra Seaton

After graduating from CMU with a bachelor’s degree in 1978, Rison became the program’s wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator in 1981, a position he held through the 1988 season. From there, he went to Navy (198990), Rutgers (1991-95) and Stanford (1996-2001) before joining the staff of the New York Jets for the 2002 and 2003 seasons, coaching receivers along the way. The first thing he plans to do is develop a one-on-one relationship with the receivers. “If you want your players to play at a high level, and do the things you ask them to do, you have to have the relationship,” Rison said. “It was important for me to have that relationship with Laverneous Coles and Santana Moss and Wayne Chrebet and get those guys to trust what I was doing. The Xs and Os don’t change much. When you a run a curl route with the New York Jets, you run a curl route with Central Michigan.” sports@cm-life.com

Invitation to Worship SERVICE TIMES

The inside-out approach head coach Dan Enos talked about during signing day Wednesday inside the media room of McGuirk Arena is the perfect plan for success. That approach means having a solid offensive and defensive line to find success. If a quarterback has time, the team usually has success. When the quarterback doesn’t have time, the team suffers. Toledo, Ball State and Northern Illinois were the top-three teams in sacks against in the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets went 7-1 in the MAC, the Cardinals went 4-4

and the Huskies went 7-1, winning the MAC Championship. The New York Giants and New England Patriots rank sixth and ninth in the NFL in sacks allowed during the regular season. Protecting the quarterback does not always guarantee success because the Buffalo Bills were No. 1 in the NFL in sacks allowed, but it can’t hurt to keep the quarterback safe. Seven of the top 12 NFL teams in recording sacks made it to the playoffs. Enos went out and executed his philosophy by adding nine offensive/defensive linemen. It gets better. He went inside and built the trenches, but also went out and addressed areas of need. Enos realized the secondary personnel wasn’t where it needed to be for success in the MAC. He went out and signed 13 new defensive recruits – five of which are defensive backs

Chippewas get blown out by 3-point savvy RedHawks By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Wednesday night was rough for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team from start to finish as the team lost to Miami (Ohio) 79-57. The RedHawks (17-5, 7-2 MAC) jumped out to an early 11-0 lead behind two 3-pointers from senior guard Maggie Boyer. Miami did not slow down from behind the arc hitting nine 3-points. The RedHawks were 43 percent from three. “When you have shooters like that it’s tough to catch up,” said CMU head coach Sue Guevara. The Chippewas (12-11, 4-5 MAC) had plenty of open looks, and after trailing by 20 points in the first half they cut the lead to 11 points with 3:08 left in the half. But they could not get any shots to fall while the RedHawks, true to form, hit back-to-back 3-pointers to end the half. CMU would never cut the gap back to 11 points as MU ran away with the game in the second half. “When you’re frustrated on the offensive end you need to

take it out on the defensive end, and that was probably one of the most embarrassing things,” Guevara said. “They pushed the ball down our throats, and I think it was because we weren’t getting back.” Sophomore forward Taylor Johnson led the team in scoring and rebounds with 13 points and seven boards. She also got in foul trouble, and with the rest of the team struggling offensively it put the burden on the bench. Junior guard Brandie Baker, in her second game since returning from an injury, scored 11 points on three 3-pointers and had six rebounds. “Until we find someone who can consistently score for us we’re going to be in big trouble,” Guevara said. “Our energy level was low … so you bring in some subs and it didn’t get any better.” The Chippewas will welcome back freshmen guards Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green and freshmen forward Jas’Mine Bracey after serving their two-game suspensions this weekend. CMU hopes getting back its top three scorers on the team can not only find some consistent scoring, but will be able to

The Central Michigan wrestling team will leave Mount Pleasant and an unimpressive month behind to wrestle at George Mason and Old Dominion this weekend. The No. 22 Chippewas hit a cold streak, losing three of five duals after starting 102. Their three losses were all against top-15 teams. “I think sometimes evaluating things has a lot to do with the level of competition, not necessarily the outcomes,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “We had some disappointing losses toward the end of the month, but overall we got better.” The road will not be any easier in February. Some of the best teams in the U.S. are competing in the National Duals after this weekend’s set against two Colonial Athletic Associa-

tion members. It will be no pushover 3 p.m. Sunday at Norfolk, Va., when CMU faces No. 25 Old Dominion. Last year the Monarchs were two points away from beating CMU. They have one ranked wrestler, and three on the cusp of the top-20 according to wrestlingreport.com. George Mason should be an easier test. The Patriots only have one wrestler with more than 12 wins. The Chippewas have five. They face off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Washington, D.C. CMU has never lost to either team. They are 4-0 against Old Dominion and have not wrestled GMU before. TWO END JANUARY UNDEFEATED Donnie Corby and Mike Ottinger were the only Chippewas that came out of the month of January unscathed with a combined record of 9-0. “They’ve been practicing hard,” Borrelli said. “When you’re making those sacrifices and you’re doing the things you’re supposed to be doing in practice, then

you feel like you deserve to be successful in competition and you carry that onto the mat with you.” Both have faced their own obstacles this season. Ottinger is in his first year of collegiate wrestling and Corby was hampered by a foot injury. “I think I’ve performed well in the last month, but the most important time is coming up, so I got to be ready for that,” Ottinger said. “I want to win the (Nationals), it’s going to be a tough task to do that, and also All-American isn’t going to be easy either, but those are my goals.” Borrelli used the words “spark” and “catalyst” to describe Ottinger. “Whenever a freshman can go out and perform the way he’s performed it can inspire and motivate everyone else,” Borrelli said. Corby and Ottinger will be challenged this weekend against two of ODU’s top three wrestlers in 157-pound John Nicholson (21-5) and 165-pound Tristan Warner (23-11). sports@cm-life.com
