Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist, laughs as University President George Ross places his hand on Mr. H, her famous toy monkey, after being introduced for her public presentation Wednesday evening in McGuirk Arena.

“Every single person makes an impact every day, and we have the choice for what kind of impact we’re going to make,” Jane Goodall told a capacity crowd Wednesday evening in McGuirk Arena.

More than 4,700 free tickets were given out to people of all ages to hear the world-renowned primatologist, anthropologist and conservationist speak for more than an hour about her life of research and discovery with primates.

Goodall came to Central Michigan University as part of the intermittent Speaker Series at a cost of $60,000, said University Events Director Bob Ebner.

Contribution for the sponsorship of Goodall’s visit came largely from the Provost’s Office and the Council of Deans.

Football schedule has seven home games, six on Saturday

By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

After playing four midweek games last season, the Central Michigan football team will only play one home weeknight game and one away.

The Chippewas sevengame home schedule is only the third time in modern history they have had that many home games. CMU will enjoy a four-game homestand from mid-October through Nov. 3 against Navy, Ball State, Akron and then Western Michigan.

The rivalry game against WMU was moved back to later in the schedule after beginning Mid-American Conference play against each other last year.

The Chippewas will end the MAC regular season against Massachusetts - playing in its inaugural season

in the MAC. That game will be televised on ESPNU and ESPN 3. That game will be on the day after Thanksgiving Nov. 23 - at Massachusetts.

Big non-conference games that were already scheduled are Michigan State, Iowa and Navy. The MSU game will be the second week of the season on Sept. 8. CMU has a bye week after MSU before heading out to Iowa to take on the Hawkeyes.

Last year, CMU had the third-worst attendance announced in Kelly/Shorts history. With MSU, Navy, WMU and the homecoming games all on Saturdays, those attendance numbers will likely increase. The four game homestand will be the longest since 1968. That year, CMU went 7-2 under coach Roy Kramer. sports@cm-life.com

“I have this feeling that a human being where the brain is not connected to the heart is a dangerous thing indeed.”

Prior to her speech, Goodall hosted a private questionand-answer panel with about 100 selected CMU students from multiple programs.

“I wanted to hear the words of a woman who brings so much hope to us turning around all the damage that we’ve done to the environment,” said St. Johns graduate assistant Sarah Murphy, who attended the panel. “And maybe take my own little bit of hope from her to make my own mission in life easier.”

Murphy said it was fascinating to hear that Goodall started off in the field with no experience.

“You don’t see those sort of stories very often, and her story is more of a reminder

and a warning to us that if we follow these (safer) paths, we close ourselves off to all sorts of opportunities,” she said.

Goodall spoke about her experiences within her field to a much larger crowd following the student panel.

After Goodall was welcomed with a standing ovation, she greeted the audience with a “primate hello” by imitating the noise chimps make when they greet her.

Roots and Shoots, a youth program founded by Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute, was a major topic of her speech, especially the conservation and advocacy work it does in developing countries.

Delta Chi suspended from intramural activities for problems with roster

By David Oltean Senior Reporter

The Delta Chi fraternity has been suspended from activities by the Office of Student Life after roster issues.

Assistant Director of Student Life Tom Idema said, Delta Chi has been unable to produce a valid roster since the beginning of the fall 2011 semester.

Idema said the issue will prevent the fraternity from participating in intramural activities until a legitimate roster is presented to the Office of Student Life, though no long-term actions against the chapter have been considered.

Idema said it is shocking that it has taken this long for CMU’s Delta Chi chapter to produce a roster that is valid and matches the fraternity’s

Delta Chi fraternity has been suspended from intramural activities, which potentially includes Greek Week. The suspension was handed down by the Office of Student Life following roster discrepancies earlier this week.

information with its national chapter.

“I’m sure the guys love to participate in intramural sports and Greek Week, and they still can,” Idema said.

“Just get an accurate roster to us, and be honest with us as to who’s on your roster and who’s not on your roster.”

Idema said he couldn’t speculate whether the roster adjustments had to do with fraternity members’ grades, though fraternities must maintain a 2.5 GPA average, according to Intrafraternity Council bylaws.

“They’ve been asked since the beginning of the year to fix these roster issues,” Idema said.

“It blows my mind that this situation has even come up. It’s not a complex thing; just be honest with us.”

IFC Vice President of Public Relations Jesse Pifko, a Warren junior, said the suspension came after Delta Chi had been previously warned their roster was inaccurate.

“I have full confidence that Delta Chi will adhere to the Of-

fice of Student Life’s recommendation and clear things up before Greek Week comes around,” Pifko said.

The suspension would currently keep Delta Chi from participating in intramural sports and Greek Week, the latter of which begins April 15.

Pending the submission of an approved, accurate roster to the Office of Student Life, the suspension will be lifted and all privileges restored.

Pifko said the issue is not one that could result in the revocation of the fraternity’s charter, but all privileges requiring a roster will be revoked indefinitely, pending approval of a new roster. studentlife@cm-life.com

there was only time for one last question, she insisted on allowing all of the children in line a chance to ask theirs.

“Do you think you’ll ever go back to Africa?” asked one young girl.

Goodall and the rest of the crowd let out a chuckle, and she responded that she returns at least twice a year to “recharge her batteries” for a few days.

“And maybe one day you will be able to go as well,” Goodall said.

continued from 1a

Goodall said previous generations, including her own, have done serious damage to the Earth, but she finds hope in human ingenuity and the energy for change she sees in youth.

The indomitable human spirit, the human brain, the resilience of nature and the determination of young people are Goodall’s four reasons of hope.

“My greatest reason for hope is what is happening among the young people,” Goodall said. “The tremendous enthusiasm and the willingness to roll up their sleeves and get out there, work hard and not to give up.”

She said people are beginning to think about their own ecologcical footprint and use their brains to think how they can leave a lighter footprint as they go from day to day.

Middleville senior Grace Welton said hearing Jane Goodall’s speech was a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity.

“Her work is really inspiring,” Welton said. “For a woman to go to Africa and study what she did is incredible.”

House Subcommittee o n H i g h e r E d u c at i o n

Ross makes plea for per-student funding in Lansing

Students walk around Universities Allied for Essential Medicine’s “Die-In” protest between Pearce and Anspach halls Thursday afternoon. UAEM protested to bring attention to unnecessary deaths due lack of medicine in third world countries and to get people to come to their conference this Saturday.

dying for change Universities Allied for Essential Medicine stages die-in to bring awareness to global health; holding conference this weekend

By Paulina Lee and Anna McNeill | Staff Reporters What’s the best way to bring attention to a cause?

For student members of Universities Allied For Essential Medicine, a Central Michigan University registered student organization dedicated to bringing awareness about global health issues such as the cost of basic medicine, it was to stage public die-ins on campus.

A die-in is a form of protest where participants simulate being dead. There were two die-ins held this week, one Tuesday afternoon on the sidewalk near the Charles V. Park Library and another Thursday between Anspach and Pearce halls.

On Thursday, while 12 members “died,” three others lived to pass out flyers and encouraged passersby to pick up promotional pill bottles, which contained information about the organization. Members were also outlined in chalk after they left and then wrote facts about global health.

Students walking to class had to step over the bodies of UAEM students.

“I think it’s a bold statement about their opinions,” said Dennis Miller, a freshman from North Carolina.

Justin Mendoza, president of UAEM, said the die-ins help raise awareness about global health problems.

“It’s crazy that millions of people die every year,” said Graduate Assistant Samik Upadhaya, an active member of UAEM. “It’s like the population of Michigan being swiped out every year, and it’s just because the people in the developing world don’t have access to

already exsiting medicines or clean water. We think that’s unacceptable.”

UAEM began at CMU in 2008 and currently has about 25 active members and faculty advisers from multiple departments such as business, mathematics and chemistry. Students interested in joining can go to meetings 8 p.m. Tuesdays in Anspach Hall 151 or contact the group via email at cmich.uaem@gmail.com.

For Upadhaya, he said the organization’s cause is something he can personally relate to.

“I’m an international student originally from Nepal,

LANSING — University President George Ross made a plea for per-student funding in Michigan universities before the House Subcommittee on Higher Education Wednesday, Ross said CMU was ranked among the lowest on a state and national level for per-student funding, and the university would comply with metrics to help improve funding.

“We’re currently spending at a 1999 spending rate at CMU,” Ross said during his testimony. “CMU is currently on a per-student funding level that ranks 11 out of the 15 institutions.

Nationally, it was reported by a U.S. News & World report that CMU ranks 265 out of 268 institutions for financial resources.”

Ross said there’s something wrong with the differential of per-student funding levels throughout the state and wants Michigan’s public universities to be funded at a

comparable level.

“From highest to lowest in the state, there’s a $5,000 to $6,000 differential,” he told Central Michigan Life after the hearing. “I keep pushing for it, because we’re using state tax dollars for the universities throughout Michigan. On a per-student basis, we shouldn’t get less money for you to go to CMU versus going to another school.”

State Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant and vice chair of the committee, said the per-student funding level has been an issue he has been concerned with since joining the subcommittee.

“It’s a major concern and something I’ve been voicing, and I was glad to hear (Ross) mention that again today,” Cotter said after the hearing. “I actually talked about it last week during the testimony of another school. We have such a major disparity in per-student funding levels.”

Minority enrollment hits record of 2,025

and I grew up in an environment of health care disparity,” Upadhaya said. “I knew the problem was there, because I grew up with it. But I didn’t know people were doing something about it.

“I think people should care more and look beyond what is in front of them,” he said. “There are so many problems that are out there.”

Upadhaya used an analogy to demonstrate how one person can make a big difference.

“You have a really good chance to make a difference, and you need to realize the potential of that,” he

said. “Imagine being in an enclosed room at night and a mosquito around you and the impact that mosquito makes on you. You’re never too small to make a difference. You just need to realize your place in the world.”

Mendoza said the event was also to promote the group’s second annual Global Health Conference.

This event is free to all who wish to attend and will be held on Saturday in the Education and Human Services Building’s French Auditorium and Sunday in Pearce Hall’s 128.

More minority students are currently enrolled at Central Michigan University than in the past 10 years.

On-campus minority enrollment hit a record of 2,025 students for the fall 2011 semester, 9.5 percent of the total on-campus population.

In fall 2010, minorities made up 8.7 percent of the on-campus student body.

Although there has been an increase in CMU’s minority enrollment, Director of Admissions Betty Wagner said in an email that CMU has never used affirmative action in the admissions process.

The laws on affirmative action have become murky this year, with a federal appeals court temporarily lifting the state ban in July.

“We work extremely hard to diversify the campus, but race is not a factor considered in the admissions process,” Wagner said.

CMU asks the race of ev-

ery applicant, since they are mandated to do so by state and federal regulations, Wagner said.

The Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Diversity adopted an equal opportunity and affirmative action protocol in November 1999.

The protocol is nearly 8,000 words but contains no mention of admissions.

Under its nondiscrimination policy section, it states: “Central Michigan University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity institution. It encourages diversity and provides equal opportunity in education, employment, all of its programs and the use of its facilities.”

However, Director of OCRID Jeannie Jackson said in an email the affirmative action policy does not apply to admissions.

It was most recently revised on Sept. 20, 2011 and signed by University President George Ross.

Two Beddow Hall residents crowned king, queen of Residence Life

By Octavia Carson Staff Reporter

Troy freshman Scott Stewart and Bridgeport sophomore Karlee Parent of Beddow Hall were crowned King and Queen of Residence Life Wednesday night.

About 60 students gathered in the Bovee University Center Rotunda to support each pair of contestants from Herrig, Woldt, Troutman, Beddow, Campbell, Calkins, Merrill and Emmons halls.

Contestants showed their Central pride, their talent and answered questions in front of judges for the title.

Grosse Pointe sophomore Emily Peeples said she liked the talent show, because it was spontaneous.

“They didn’t have a preplanned talent, so no one could really outshine anyone, and they all had an equal opportunity,” Peeples said.

But for others, like Holland freshman Nathan Printz, seeing others wear their Central clothes was fun. Many students added accessories to

“I think the enthusiasm of the audience was what made the participants better on the stage.”

Kim Voisin, Judge their spirit wear like tie-dye socks, capes and CMU baseball hats.

“I liked that everyone had their own creativity. One guy was wearing a football T-shirt, and some girl was wearing a nice graphic TShirt that said ‘Central’ on it,” Printz said. “It was a nice variety.”

Before the show began, the a capella group Central Harmony warmed up the crowd with a few songs.

“I thought it was cool how they did new songs like ‘Moves Like Jagger’ by Maroon 5,” Printz said.

Another guest performer at the pageant was slam poet Judea Walker, a Flint senior.

“Judea was awesome, although I could not make a personal connection with her poems, because she talked about love, and I am

not ready for that yet,” Rockwood sophomore Joel Knack said.

Before the final points were tallied, contestants competed in round three, where they had to answer various questions.

“I thought they did a good job answering questions, even though they did not have time to prepare for them,” Knack said.

Throughout the show, students from the audience cheered for their peers.

“I think the enthusiasm of the audience was what made the participants better on the stage,” judge and Assistant Director of Residence Life Kim Voisin said.

Students were able to purchase raffle tickets, and funds were donated to the Residence Hall Association’s national philanthropy, Cray-

EDITORIAL | We walked out on Jane Goodall?

A call for hope J

ane Goodall’s speech to a packed McGuirk Arena was one of the most valuable things Central Michigan University has arranged for its students outside of the classroom.

The world-renowned primatologist and conservationist’s words, which used humor and heartfelt passion to weave together stories of curiosity, hope, love for the world and discovery, are not likely to be forgotten by those who paid attention.

The 77-year-old woman, who took her time on the stairs leading

up to the podium, spoke of a life filled with more strength than all the vibrant youth of her audience combined.

She even took an extra half-hour to share more wisdom in the form of a question-and-answer session to the capacity crowd.

Goodall was speaking to a significantly smaller crowd by the time

she stopped answering questions.

That entire sections would so rudely and visibly file out of a speech given by a woman so important and fascinating begs an important question: What couldn’t wait?

Was it parking? The 15 minutes it takes to clear out of the lot might be a decent excuse for some of the families who had young kids to get to sleep and then to school in the morning, but many of the people leaving were students who live on campus.

Did all of those students suddenly feel the urge to work on the essays and presentations they set aside over the previous days to drink and tweet about “Mad Men?” At least be polite! Sit down and play “Draw Something” on your iPhone. But don’t walk out. Don’t

pretend you have somewhere better to be, because for the 80 minutes she spoke, there was nothing comparable happening in Isabella County.

Goodall spoke with a vibrance and appreciation for the audience undiminished by her age or exhaustion. She has been on a Dylanesque never-ending tour, advocating more than 300 days a year for decades now.

This editorial board tends to holler much more hoarsely at the administration and officials of Central Michigan University, but this is one occasion where we youthful yokels were clearly in the wrong.

If she was willing to take extra time to answer questions, we, as a community, should have felt honored, not irritated.

Keep movies, books separate Since the “Hunger Games” came out last week, I have heard countless comparisons between the book and the movie.

I am sensing a trend that movies will never be as good as their book counterparts. However, I don’t understand why.

I read and enjoyed all three “Hunger Games” books and the movie.

Books and movies are completely different mediums and should be valued as such.

Books have the ability to let the reader understand what the main character is thinking. Without voiceovers, this feature is much more difficult to portray in movies.

Movies, on the other hand, are much more visual. While some authors are able to paint pictures with words, visual scenes are often done better in movies.

Books and movies have their own strengths and should be valued for each separate feature.

One concern about the “Hunger Games” I have heard multiple times is the lack of personality Katniss seems to have. While it probably could have been done, it would be much harder, because her personality comes mostly from her thoughts and interaction with her sister. Her sister was not in the movie very much, so her personality was not as evident.

The movie does, on the other hand, convey the hallucination better than the book. It was a visual scene, which is one of the strengths of motion pictures.

In addition, books and movies are the visions of two different people; authors and directors.

People get different things out of stories, so a director might feel connected to one aspect of the story, while the author may have gotten a certain point across in another part of the story.

In addition, book reading and movie watching are two separate experiences.

While reading the “Hunger Games”, I felt as though I actually was Katniss fighting for my life.

With the movie, on the other hand, I felt like I was part of the Capitol society and could easily be watching the Games with my friends on television.

The personal connection with Katniss in the books is why so many fans feel as though the book was more relatable. In the book, her pain is much more evident, especially when certain characters are eliminated. This sorrow is directly translated into the reader’s life, making it feel as though the Games are actually happening to him or her.

This difference applies to other movies based on books, like Harry Potter and Twilight. I have heard many people discuss how much better the Twilight books were than the movies.

While I agree, they should be valued as completely separate works. Because they are.

In the end, however, it is up to the audience.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

Helping your fellow human As an alumna of Central Michigan University, I took pride in my choice to attend Central.

I always prided myself on being someone who was compassionate toward others. I also thought I was not alone and that my fellow peers were, for the most part, just as compassionate.

Unfortunately, today I realized I was wrong.

Thursday, a girl tripped and fell while crossing the intersection between the Charles V. Park Library and the Bovee University Center, which, I am sure everyone can agree, is an area full of traffic.

This poor girl fell so hard, her head literally bounced off the cement.

She then proceeded to roll over onto her back and hold (with both hands) her head while not moving.

My boyfriend was four car lengths behind her when this happened.

He had to wait for four cars (in his lane alone, not counting for the other cars in the opposite lanes) to go through the stop and go intersection before he could pull over to help her.

Anyone waiting to turn at that intersection can understand how long that takes.

No one stopped to help during that time. He watched while multiple people walked past this girl and pointed. But no one stopped to help her, not even to ask if she was ok. Instead, they all walked past. Dare I mention the people that were in the cars ahead? They had to have seen this girl lying in pain.

Yet, they did not stop; they didn’t even roll down their window to yell and ask if she was OK. If I was one of these people

who passed and didn’t make an effort to help, I would be ashamed of myself.

I am happy and proud to acknowledge that my boyfriend and his friend DID attempt to pull over and help.

But, before they could, another girl came to the fallen girl’s aid. She ran over, bent down, and assisted the girl. To the girl that took the time to assist her fellow human; you are a great person.

Thank you for taking the time to help someone when few else would. I would be proud to call you a CMU peer.

To everyone who walked, drove by and didn’t stop; you are a coward. I am ashamed of you and hope this makes you think in the future.

There is a crisis in Switzerland. In 2011, in order to address it, a single-issue political party was created.

The Anti-PowerPoint Party, or APPP, firmly opposes the presentation program Microsoft PowerPoint, which it claims costs the Swiss more than $2 billion in lost productivity annually.

The APPP estimates “85 percent of the participants find that the presentations are killing motivation.”

In the United States, a crisis of a different sort is growing. Around every turn, plastered on every billboard, dangerous and unnecessarily serious fonts are now poised to offend the senses of millions of Americans.

This year, harmful typefaces surpassed terrible drivers, loud talkers and “Family Guy” as the primary cause of excessive teeth grinding nationwide, reports an anonymous organization of dentists.

As reported in 2009 by the non-partisan Center for Font Statistics, which doesn’t actually exist, the use of serious typefaces costs American taxpayers $62 million per year.

According to recent CFS studies, sober and oppressive typefaces such as Ariel and Times New Roman are responsible for a dramatic rise in rates of clinical depression.

In an economy as morbidly depressed as we are, where can we turn for hope?

One font has emerged in which the nation can invest its dreams and aspirations for a brighter tomorrow. That font is Comic Sans.

It is with the model of the Swiss APPP in mind and the interest of the American people at heart that I hereby proclaim the founding of the American Party for the Advancement of Comic Sans.

As a national party, the APACS has two primary political objectives; the first of which is to expedite the systematic spread of Comic Sans for the national public good.

Increasing the ubiquity of Comic Sans will spark a substantial rise in gross domestic happiness. The manifold benefits of whimsical Comic Sans include lifted mood, extroversion and sunshine.

On Monday, the CFS released a meteorological study conclusively linking this spring’s unseasonably enjoyable weather to an uptick in the use of Comic Sans on the redesigned menus of a small diner in northwestern Wyoming.

The second political objective of the APACS is to expedite the institutionalization of Comic Sans as the first ever national typeface. No font better captures the essence of American spirit in the 21st century than Comic Sans.

As our national typeface, Comic Sans will appear on all governmental documents, buildings, roadsigns and currency, bringing joy to the lives of citizens nationwide.

Comic Sans will convey a sense of friendlier and more casual government, with a smile and a shoulder to cry on, and it will stimulate the economy.

Typography matters. Do your part to stop uptight fascist fonts like Helvetica from crushing America. Vote APACS in November, and lighten up with Comic Sans.

CMU researchers call for mandates on national hospital water quality

Grand Rapids junior Cullen Haskins, left, chats with Port Huron junior Taylor Zurick while watching four of the 48 contestants compete in a “Mario Kart 64” tournament Wednesday night at O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grill, 2000 S. Mission St., as part of a fundraiser for RPL 430: Planning Recreational Programs and Events course. “It’s awesome to see it on the big screen. It’s Mario. Everyone loves Mario,” Haskins said.

Mario Madness at O’Kelly’s raises money for Red Cross

By Justin Orminski Staff Reporter

Mario and all his pals took over O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grill on Wednesday night.

College students made their way to 2000 S. Mission St., not to drink, but to participate in a video-game tournament.

Three of the restaurant’s six HD projection screens were alive with colorful Nintendo 64 graphics from the 1997 classic “Mario Kart 64.”

Forty-eight people took part in the bracket-style tournament. Each player participated in four races and received a certain number of points depending on where they finished each race.

Marine City sophomore Bryan Brown said he was surprised to get eliminated from the tournament after the first round, finishing last in two of the four races. The $400 raised benefitted the American Red Cross.

“I had higher expectations,” Brown said. “I got dominated.”

The top 16 in points after the first round moved to round two, round three was the top eight, and the final round featured the last four contestants.

The four rounds were based around the four different cups in Mario Kart; Mushroom, Flower, Star and Special.

The restaurant filled with cheers when a player took a shortcut in the race, got hit by an item or made a pass for the lead.

Though he didn’t win, Brown said he was glad he competed.

“It was still fun, though. I enjoyed it,” Brown said.

The event also drew fans from outside of Mount Pleasant. Barryton resident Chris Brisbane said he heard about the event on Facebook.

Brisbane came in fourth place in the tournament.

“I’ve been playing Mario Kart the whole 15 years it’s been out,” Brisbane said. “This event was

definitely a lot of fun.”

The top three in the tournament were awarded trophies.

CMU alumus Steve Cline came in third, Mid-Michigan Community College student Sean Gorman came in second, and Grand Rapids senior Michael Hoover came in first place.

“It’s great. I really didn’t expect it at all,” Hoover said.

Hoover gave special thanks to his friends from high school who urged him to play Mario Kart.

“I started playing in freshman year of high school every night with my friends,” he said.

“I guess it pays off.”

Spring Lake senior Morgan Witham, a student who helped host the event, said she was very pleased with how Mario Madness turned out.

“I most definitely consider this a success,” she said. “We had a big turnout.” university@cm-life.com

griffin policy

While the Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential race has not been selected, predictions are already being made about the outcome of the November election.

A panel of political insiders will share their predictions on the candidates and issues involved in the election at the Griffin Policy Forum at 7 p.m. Monday in the Powers Hall Ballroom.

Admission to the forum is free.

Panelists will include Jill Alper, democratic strategist and media consultant at Dewey Square Group; Rusty Hills, director of public affairs for the Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette; John Truscott, president and principal of Truscott Rossman; and Rick Wiener, founder of Wiener Associates. The moderator will be Rick Pluta, managing editor and state capitol bureau chief from Michigan Public Radio Network.

“These are people anyone would like to sit down and chew the political fat with,” said

Maxine Berman, the Griffin Endowed Chair and organizer of the forum. “They are about as high as you can get as far as insiders in both parties. They have been intimately involved in political campaigns for years.”

Truscott and Alper write point-counterpoint columns in the Detroit Free Press on a regular basis, Berman said.

“This panel is extraordinary,” said David Jesuit, associate professor in the political science department. “These are the inside power players of Michigan politics.”

Berman said the discussion will cover issues as well as candidates.

“I’m sure people will be making predictions about who will win and lose and by what percentages, but more important, or maybe equally important, will be the big issues,” she said.

Berman said the discussion will probably touch on the influence super PACs and the “nastiness that has occurred” in the primaries.

Jesuit said the presidential race will be an important topic

Monday forum to discuss Republican presidential primary, predict winner

By Emily Pfund Staff Reporter

Researchers at Central Michigan University have called for federal mandates on the monitoring of water quality in hospitals after a new study has revealed the irregularity and infrequency of current tests being done.

Results from the survey, conducted by CMU’s Center for Applied Research and Rural Studies, showed only 9.9 percent of hospitals tested water quality on a daily basis, 15.8 percent tested yearly, and the rest either fell somewhere in between or did not test at all.

With such sporadic testing, there are many ways for pathogens to be introduced into water systems, said Health Administrations Professor Mark Cwiek.

Showerheads, air conditioning systems and anywhere else that collects water are potential and likely carriers for pathogens.

“Sometimes we don’t know where the origin of an infection for a patient could be from, so regular monitoring is very important,” Cwiek said. “It’s very important for hospitals in particular, because infants and the elderly and anyone who is immunally suppressed is very vulnerable.”

The issue is one that demands some immediacy and could be acted upon quickly with the implementation of an executive order by the president, said Health Sciences Professor Zigmond Kozicki.

“This is a clear and pres-

of the discussion, both by itself and in how it will impact other lower-level races in Michigan and nationwide.

“If the Republican candidate is not competitive (in Michigan), that will impact voter turnout. Republicans won’t be as excited to go out and vote, which would impact Republicans in other races,” Jesuit said.

Berman said she expects a good conversation and “maybe some fireworks.”

“I think people will enjoy hearing from true masters of politics,” she said.

Jesuit said the event will help students understand how politics and the electoral process function.

“A lot of the frustration I hear expressed by students and some of my neighbors (in regard to politics) stems from a lack of understanding about how (politics) work,” Jesuit said. “With a better understanding, people are less frustrated with the process and know how to promote the issues they care about.” university@cm-life.com

ent danger to the lives of thousands of people who are in health-care facilities with conditions that make it less likely to deal with these waterborne pathogens,” Kozicki said. “It’s important to make sure these people aren’t exposed to these pathogens.”

Several people in the state legislative and federal executive branches have been contacted about the issue already, including White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, Michigan senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin and Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland. Kozicki said he is awaiting a meeting with politicians to discuss the matter further.

“There’s a lot of responsibility here on the administration,” he said. “The health care in America has done a very good job dealing with pathogens and other problems ... but we can keep improving. If we implement a program and really put a lid on all the waterborne pathogens, we’d be saving about $5 billion in health-care costs in the country.”

The mandates, which would affect about 5,000 community hospitals nationwide, would have greater-reaching benefits than the immediate ones that will be seen by patients.

“There’s a lot of people not even in hospitals that would benefit from this as well, like being able to check health indexes online and find water quality for specific areas and com-

munities,” Kozicki said.

“The water quality in the U.S. has been aggregating for some time. It’s not as pure as it once was, and we have to be conscious of that.”

One solution proposed for the problem is to establish a national water testing site to help with verification issues and to aid in the enforcement of water quality mandates, Cwiek said.

“We’re pushing to have it right here in Michigan,” he said. “We have one of the largest fresh water supplies in the world with the Great Lakes, and it would just seem natural to have a plant here.”

These steps are only the beginning of a multipronged approach to what still needs to be done to improve the quality of water in hospitals around the country, Cwiek said.

“No one ever wants any suspicion that anything is wrong in a facility you’re being treated in,” he said.

“It would be very nice if public health stepped up its efforts in mandating the water, making sure it was being checked regularly. It would be nice if insurance companies would require that also, as that would decrease the liability of something happening and hospitals being sued. ... hospitals and nursing homes and other health care should be the first (to be mandated) when they’re responsible for all these people that are already sick.” university@cm-life.com

North Campus Charity Ball aims to raise $1,000 today

By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Brooke Mayle/Staff Photographer

Commerce senior Andrew Roeser Skypes and his girlfriend Cedar Springs senior Karly Sias celebrate their one-year anniversary, Tuesday night. The couple, who regularly Skype now that Sias is interning at Mt. Rushmore National Memorial in Keystone, S.D., find time to play online games together in order to feel closer to each other despite Sias living more than 1,000 miles away.

A black-and-whitethemed dance has set a goal to raise $1,000 for multiple charities today.

The North Campus Black and White Charity Ball will be held from 8 to 11 p.m. in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. Tickets can be purchased in North Campus dorms or at the door for $7 or two for $10.

Barnes Hall is raising money for Kids Against Hunger, Larzelere Hall is fundraising for Smile Train, and Calkins Hall is supporting Relay for Life.

Barnes Hall fundraising Chairwoman Kori Jones, a St. Clair Shores freshman, said everyone is invited, and dressing to the theme is a not a requirement.

“It’s a fun night to get out,” she said.

Jones said they are hoping 100 people can come to support the causes.

The decorations were all covered by Residence Life, she said, so the funds raised will strictly benefit the charities.

“I believe in all three charities,” she said.

Jones said she hopes people will attend because of the cause.

Troy freshman Nicole Bidolli, Calkins Hall council president, said she heard about the event and wanted to get involved.

“I contacted a couple of people, and before I knew it, I was helping,” she said.

Bidolli made banners and advertisements for the Charity Ball.

“We are trying to promote

it as much as we can,” she said.

There will be a DJ playing popular music, she said.

“I think this is a way to raise awareness about charities that some may not have heard of before,” she said.

Bidolli said she has always enjoyed charity events, as she was active in fundraising in high school.

Garden freshman Katrina Thennes said she is planning to attend the Charity Ball for the first time.

“I love dances, and since it’s benefiting a charity, that’s a plus,” she said.

Thennes said black-andwhite-themed dances make her feel fancy.

“The fancier, the better,” she said.

Arab-influenced group Wissal and Hertler.

Cote, who convinced many of the bands to participate, wanted to have a variety of music and sounds at the concert.

“This was a great opportunity to be able to have more purpose behind some of the music I write,” Cote said.

“Sometimes we get caught up in the midst of being in Michigan, not just with music, but with everything else going on in the world.”

The concert also featured an informative video from an orphanage in Haiti, complete with many shots of children from that orphanage. Pastor Carla Ives, founder of Heart Cry International, spoke during an intermission about the importance of taking trips to help impoverished children.

“I remember a young man showed me his home, and it was a black garbage bag.

When it would rain, he slept

under it, and when it wasn’t raining, he slept over it,” Ives said. “My heart is to be a voice for the children who can’t speak for themselves.”

World Changers is a local branch of Heart Cry International. Heart Cry International operates orphanages, rallies sponsorships for children and completes mission trips.

“The music was really great, and the concert itself was informative. I’m really thinking about getting involved with World Changers,” Midland freshman Alexis Loebig said.

“I learned about the help that people need and that I can actually do something to make a difference.”

World Changers meets at 9 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month in the Heart Cry International office next to Student Book Exchange, 209 E. Bellows St.

Couple celebrates first date Concert benefits Uganda orphans anniversary 1,000 miles apart

By Sienna Monczunski Staff Reporter

By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Karly Sias said she refuses to let the 1,000 miles between her boyfriend and her get in the way of their relationship.

The Cedar Springs senior met her boyfriend, Commerce senior Andrew Roeser, in February 2011 at a date auction.

“I bought him for $40,” she said jokingly.

That Friday night, they watched a movie at a friend’s house. When they left, she told Roeser it could qualify as their first date, but he said that it wasn’t nice enough to count. The two went to Red Lobster for their first date.

“From there, we started to get to know each other,” she said. “We started dating March 27, 2011.”

Sias has been living in Keystone, South Dakota working as an intern at Mount Rushmore National Memorial since December 2011, while Roeser has stayed in Mount Pleasant.

“It’s kind of hard being away not going to lie,” she said.

Roeser said distance is the hardest part not being able to physically see each other.

“Timing is hard,” he said.

“Trying to get our schedules to match up to talk or Skype is difficult.”

Sias said the two reserve time every Sunday to have a “Skype date,” the only day their schedules allow them to have time.

“It’s difficult sometimes, considering I work during the day, and he works at night,” she said.

He said the two text during the day to stay in communication.

The couple both said it was hard in the beginning but easier as time has gone on.

“I’ve never been in a relationship for this long, this far away,” she said. “You just get used to it.”

Sias said staying close with friends and being social as much as possible makes things easier.

“You get used to it and get in the swing of things,” Sias said. “Once you get into a new rhythm, it’s easier.”

Roeser said the biggest thing in a long-distance relationship is trust.

“You have to be able to completely trust each other,” he said. “When I can’t get ahold of her, I need to realize she’s busy.”

He said the long-distance relationship has strengthened their communication.

Sias said they haven’t had any problems, other than being sad because of not being able to see each other.

She said she misses him most when she sees other couples.

“Valentine’s Day was pretty hard, because I saw other couples walking around,” she said. “It’s the little moments that I miss him the most.”

Roeser traveled to Keystone over Spring Break.

“When I went there to see her, it was great,” he said.

“But coming back to school that first week was the worst.”

He said he just got used to seeing her every day and had to get adjusted to the distance all over again.

“We’re hoping to see each other half-way and drive at the end of the semester,” he said.

Sias will be back in August.

The couple couldn’t celebrate their anniversary with a fancy dinner, but they did talk on the phone.

“We’re taking it one day at a time,” he said. “We don’t look too far ahead.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Sweeping reforms proposed for concealed handgun laws

By John Irwin Senior Reporter

Sweeping reforms to Michigan’s concealed handgun laws will be voted on by the Senate after the measures were approved 5-1 by a Senate committee.

The changes, the biggest reforms to Michigan’s concealed weapons laws in a decade, would allow for gun owners with more training to carry a concealed weapon in “pistol-free” zones, such as churches, schools, college campuses, bars and sports stadiums.

In order to carry a concealed weapon at those places, new applicants must complete 17 hours of training and fire 192 rounds at the firing range. Those who already have permits would have to complete an additional nine hours of training and an extra 94 rounds on the range.

Mount Pleasant senior Matthew Tuzas, assistant state director for Students for Concealed Carry and president of the Central Michigan University chapter, said the proposed legislation would keep campuses safer.

“Laws are only as strong as their enforcement, and I don’t see any metal detectors on campus,” Tuzas said.

“Only law-abiding citizens follow the rules. A pistolfree zone is essentially a protection-free zone, inviting criminals to do as they please. Criminals are going to carry on campus anyway.”

“Laws are only as strong as their enforcement, and I don’t see any metal detectors on campus.”

Matthew Tuzas, Students for Concealed Carry

For a basic license, the firing range time required at the shooting range would increase from the current 30 rounds to 98 rounds.

Most of the legislation is aimed toward streamlining the approval process.

The legislation would also eliminate county gun boards that have been in place since 1927. Approval of gun permits would shift to county sheriff departments, which already deal with background checks.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski declined to comment on the proposal.

Licenses would have to be approved within 45 days of the application being submitted; otherwise, a temporary permit must be issued. Under current law, a license must be handed out within 45 days of complete background and fingerprint checks.

Counties would no longer be able to charge more money beyond the $105 application fee .

Additionally, applicants who appeal a denied application in court and fail to overturn the decision would not be forced pay the

county’s court and attorney costs. However, courts could increase costs for those who successfully appeal.

Measures included in the bill would also aim to ensure mandatory annual reports of permit holders who break the law are more accurate.

An MLive investigation from last year found many prosecutors and clerks did not do these reports, and if they did, they were often inaccurate.

Ken Silfven, Gov. Rick Snyder’s deputy press secretary, said the governor still needs to look over the legislation.

“The governor supports the overall goal of streamlining the process, but he’ll need to thoroughly review the actual language in the legislation before making a determination,” Silfven said.

Though the SCC does not have an official stance on the legislation, Tuzas said he supports the legislation.

“Any advocate of an efficient and fair government would support these changes, not just gun owners,” Tuzas said. metro@cm-life.com

Armed with a guitar, three different harmonicas and a microphone, Lake Orion senior Joe Hertler was one of many performers for the World Changers benefit concert hoping to use music to improve the lives of orphaned children in Uganda.

The benefit concert kicked off Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Bovee University Center’s third floor auditorium. About 50 people attended. President of World Changers Gina Wymore, a West Bloomfield junior, gave a quick introduction, and the barbershop quartet Ebb and Flow was the first to perform.

They were followed by a jazz sextet and New Hampshire graduate student Andrew Cote alongside Grand Rapids junior Jordan Reed. The concert ended performances by

Senior Alex Smith runs through drills during Central Michigan football’s spring practice Thursday. He is switching from linebacker to defensive end for the fall.

switching gears Alex Smith moves from linebacker to defensive end for senior year

By Ryan Zuke | Senior Reporter

Senior Alex Smith plans to make a major impact for the Central Michigan football team this year—but not as a linebacker.

After playing linebacker his first three years at CMU, he is shifting to defensive end.

“I had a meeting with (head) coach (Dan) Enos in December, and he told me I was switching over, and at that point, I was only like 225 pounds. So this winter and over spring break, I had to gain like 20 pounds,” Smith said.

Enos said he now weighs about 248 pounds and has handled the transition well in spring practice.

“He’s done a good job,” Enos said. “He does a lot of things really naturally with his hips and hands at defensive end, and I think he’s really going to help us.”

So far, Smith has enjoyed the switch and likes the oneon-one matchups the position carries. He said defensive end allows him to play more off his pure instincts.

“Every play it’s just me against a tackle or a tight end, and it’s fun to have those kind of matchups,” Smith said.

But he realizes there is an

Smith has 37 career tackles as linebacker, he will now look for more sacks at defensive end.

“Every play it’s just me against a tackle or a tight end, and it’s fun to have those kind of matchups.”

Alex Smith, Senior defensive end adjustment stage he is still getting accustomed to.

“Every play is just a battle,” Smith said. “I’m not really used to just banging every play, so that’s just something I am going to have to get used to.”

Enos said he does not normally like to have guys change positions but saw a fit in Smith.

“We think Alex is a very good athlete,” Enos said. “We think he’s explosive. We think he can run. We think he has toughness, and we’re trying to find a way to get him on the field.”

Smith played in nine games last season while starting twice at linebacker. The senior has 37 career tackles, 1.5

sacks and one interception in his first three seasons for the Chippewas.

Enos said he believes Smith is a team-first guy and looked at the opportunity as a new start.

“He was excited about the move, and I asked him if he would be willing to do. Not only did he say he was willing, he said he was looking forward to it,” Enos said. “We had a couple guys change positions this spring, and I always try to make it a group decision. I want them to think about it; I want them to feel good about it.” sports@cm-life.com

Michigan State wins during last at bat

The Title IX Gender Equality Committee took the next step in adding a 10th women’s team to the athletics program Thursday.

A survey created and supported by the Department of Education was emailed to the undergraduate student population inquiring about the interest in a multitude of sports.

The levels of competition that appeared on the survey included recreational, club, intramural and varsity.

The survey states, “the information obtained through this survey will be used as part of our review to assess general sport interest and ability of undergraduate students on Central Michigan’s campus.”

“The questionnaire was sent out to understand the interests and abilities of students on campus,” said Deputy Director of Athletics, Derek van der Merwe.

“It’s a legal assessment, not a question of which sport you want on your campus.”

University President George Ross gave the Title IX Gender Equality Committee until May 15 to prepare an analysis of CMU’s athletic program to better narrow down the options.

The committee was assembled in January after Ross learned the program needed another women’s team to meet Title IX standards.

Title IX, though not originally meant for athletics programs in its creation in 1972, is in place to allow equality in opportunity for men and women who attend federally funded uni-

Senior Nate Theunissen went 1-for-4 at Michigan State Wednesday and drove a run in. He also made eight put outs in the field.

The Spartans, who were trailing 5-3 midway through the game, scored runs in the fifth inning and sixth inning before capping the comeback off with the run in the ninth.

Freshman Dylan Rheault pitched a perfect eighth inning in relief, but MSU regrouped in the ninth.

Junior Torsten Boss led with a walk and stole second. Then, junior Tony Wieber advanced Boss to third on a ground out.

With one out in the ninth, Jaksa brought in junior Dietrich Enns to try and get the Chippewas out of the jam.

Instead, Hook flied out to left field, but it was deep enough to score Boss from third for the winning run.

“It’s a lot more fun when you’re the guys jumping around on the field after the game,” junior Reid Rooney said, “but seeing those guys celebrate will just motivate us, and we’ll keep it in the back of our head for our game in Theunissen (Stadium) and Comerica (Park).”

Rheault was credited with the loss, and sophomore Jeff Kinley got the win.

Freshman Matt Trowbridge started for CMU, pitching five

innings while giving up eight hits and four runs, but only two were earned.

“I thought he competed well,” Jaksa said. “I thought his changeup was in the zone a little bit better today in terms of making them respect that as a pitch.”

The Chippewas re-enter Mid-American Conference play this weekend on the road beginning at 3 p.m. Friday against Bowling Green.

A TITLE IX | 8

Football

By John Manzo Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan baseball team got a taste of its own medicine Wednesday afternoon losing to Michigan State at McLane Field in East Lansing.

On Sunday, CMU trailed Buffalo in the ninth inning but found a way to rally in the ninth with four runs in walk-off fashion, beating the Bulls 14-13.

This time, the tables turned.

The Spartans ended it with a walk-off sacrifice fly from junior Jared Hook in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving MSU a 6-5 victory in the first of three meetings between the rivals this season.

“Anytime you lose by a run in a game like that, you always think a lot of thoughts,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “I think there were so many opportunities to change that around.

One play here, one situation there can change that game around.”

CMU freshman Nick Regnier led off the ninth inning with a double. But the threat was ended, because junior Jordan Dean flied out to right field, senior Tyler Hall popped out to left field and senior William Arnold ended the inning when he flied out too.

“I was pleased in terms of how some guys pitched, and I was pleased with some of our hitters,” Jaksa said. “At the end of the day, it ended up being a one-run loss in the bottom of the ninth.”

versities.

CMU discovered it needed to add two sports programs in 1995 but wound up only adding women’s soccer in 1998 after finding the Rose pool didn’t meet NCAA regulations.

In 2005, CMU went through the certification process again looking to add sports to its program but found it met NCAA standards. It did so again in 2009, but President Barack Obama’s administration adjusted Title IX. Such changes addressed the need for CMU to add another women’s program.

As a school that once had 23 sports teams, CMU cut multiple programs in the 1980s for budgetary reasons. Today, there are nine varsity women’s teams and seven varsity men’s teams across campus.

Factors other than the number of teams available on campus and ratio of men versus women are evaluated when judging an academic program’s gender equality.

Assessing participation, funding, scholarships, equipment, facility use, tutoring use and transportation for men and women’s programs throughout the process will be the responsibility of the committee.

The 18-member committee is led by Title IX Coordinator Gene Jackson and committee chair Judy Chandler. It meets biweekly to discuss its threephase goal of planning, gathering and understanding data to be presented to Ross.

After back-to-back 3-9 seasons, there is more pressure on the Central Michigan Football team this season to improve its record — plain and simple.

Although head coach Dan Enos said there is not any more pressure after a 3-9 season than a 9-3 season, the team is in a mustwin situation.

And I think the players and coaches know that. It all starts with spring practice, and so far, Enos has been upbeat when talking about the direction his team is heading.

He said this spring has been different than in the past, because there is less conversation. The guys know what needs to be done, and they just go do it. There are also more guys staying after practice to continue to work on getting better. And it’s not just because they feel obligated to; it’s because they are having fun.

Numerous players have stated there has been more leadership thus far and that an unusual March heat wave during the first two weeks of practice has elevated team morale.

Enos said he agrees. And

because of that, he has been pleased with the development of many of his players.

Now, I know it are just spring practice, and there is still five months until the season begins, but it really looks like this team is determined to be a much-improved football team come August.

And it always helps when you have talent and leadership at key positions.

Entering his third season as a starter, quarterback Ryan Radcliff will have an arsenal of weapons to use on offense.

With Cody Wilson, Titus Davis and Courtney Williams all returning at wide receiver, Radcliff will have three formidable outlets down the field.

In the backfield, Anthony Garland will look to improve on an impressive freshman campaign, and junior Zurlon Tipton is also returning. Both ran for over 365 yards last season while playing in just eight and seven games respectively. And Austin White could be another offensive threat if he can stay out of trouble off the field.

The offense should score a lot of points — we know that — but there are also many returners on defense. At least 12 players started multiple games in 2011, and seven of its top 10 tacklers from a year ago are coming back.

I do not see why this team cannot win at least six or seven games next season.

MAC-opening weekend begins today against Golden Flashes

Senior Tyler Hall and the Central Michigan baseball team will start its second MAC series 3 p.m. today in Bowling Green, Ohio.

Baseball team goes to Bowling Green while the Falcons are reeling

By John Manzo Staff Reporter

It might be the perfect time to play Bowling Green for the Central Michigan baseball team.

The Falcons are amongst the top three in the MidAmerican Conference in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs scored, hits, RBIs and total bases but have lost their past four games. Their highest run total was three in as many games throughout the losing streak.

On the flip side, the Chippewas took two of three games against Buffalo this past weekend in their first conference series of the season, and the Bulls also rank atop a majority of the offensive categories in the conference.

The two teams enter their second conference series, beginning a three-game series at

3 p.m. today in Bowling Green, Ohio with senior pitcher Zach Cooper as the opening starter for the Chippewas.

“We have a goal of winning every MAC series, but to be honest, I’d want to take 3-of-3 so we can be the outright MAC champs in the end, but absolutely winning the series is a very key component to your success in being a MAC champion,” junior Reid Rooney said.

CMU has won three of its past five games and has shown the ability to win pitching battles, offensive performances and come from behind games.

BGSU hasn’t won a game since March 21 when it beat Shawnee State 6-3 at home.

And since that victory, the Falcons haven’t been home – a place that has been comfortable for them.

BGSU has been a completely different ball club in Bowling Green, Ohio.

In three home games this season, the Falcons are 3-0 and have outscored their opponents 33-16. On the road, BGSU is 3-8, and at neutral sites it is 2-8.

Due to colder climates of Michigan weather, the Chippewas have had their fair share of road games in the months of February and March. In those, they are 6-11 and have split their neutral site games at one apiece.

“I don’t think us being on the road is going to have anything to do with how we play,” head coach Steve Jaksa said. “We’re going to be ready to go. It’s more the execution of what we need to out there during the game.”

Following Friday’s game, junior pitcher Rick Dodridge pitches at 2 p.m. Saturday and at 1 p.m. Sunday’s start has not been decided yet. sports@cm-life.com

Junior Alex Rose placed second in the discus last week at the LSU relays. He will compete at the Toledo Collegiate Challenge Saturday.

Rose’s teammate throwers Ryan McCullough and Kevin Mays are off to a fast start this season as well.

Track and field looks to build on strong opener at Toledo Saturday

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan track and field team travels to Toledo, Ohio to participate in the Toledo Collegiate Challenge Saturday.

It will be difficult to top the results they put together at the LSU Relays last weekend. Director of track and field Willie Randolph said he had not seen a better opening in his three years at CMU. The men’s throwers highlighted the group. Junior Alex Rose was second place in the discus and shot put.

Ryan McCullough’s hammer throw now sits atop the standings in CMU history with a distance of 204-02.

Nine members of the track and field men’s and women’s team earned a personal best. McCullough earned Mid-American Conference athlete of the week for his efforts.

Randolph hopes to continue the momentum Saturday.

“You just keep working hard. You just keep focusing on the main things. You stay relaxed. You stay focused,” Randolph said. “And you know how to execute when it comes up to that time.”

The men placed first in the event last season, while the women placed fourth.

CMU also had 10 who finished first individually.

“We’re doing the same thing we did last year,” Randolph said. “We’re not focusing on what teams are there; we’re focusing on how to execute and take care of ourselves.”

They will be in the colder confines of Toledo where the predicted high is 25 degrees cooler than their first day in Baton Rouge, La. “This is up north, and that’s one of the things that we expect at this time of year,” Randolph said.

“We have to make sure that they’re properly warmed up and cooled down more now than ever.”

Randolph said it will not bother the team’s strongest asset, their throwers, because the activity is so repetitious.

The Chippewas throwers are among the best in the nation. Four are ranked in the top-50, according to the Track and Field Results Reporting System. Mychael King is ranked 51st.

“We happen to have a mature throwers group,” Randolph said. “We had a pretty good recruiting class with Alex Rose being an AllAmerican. You can’t speak of anybody else on this team considering your first All-American was a sophomore last year. Then you got

Kevin (Mays) - that’s a leader, that’s a senior and came for football. So it’s a total package of just working together to be excellent.” sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan softball team plays its first MidAmerican Conference games today at Kent State.

The double header begins with the first game at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

On Saturday, CMU (13-11) travels to Buffalo for a 2 p.m. game Saturday and a 1 p.m. game Sunday.

Head coach Margo Jonker said the team carries a lot of momentum into the weekend after scoring 25 runs against Detroit in a double-header on Tuesday. She said the team responded to Detroit’s pitching with a variety of attack.

“We do a nice job of being aggressive at the plate and took advantage when their pitcher was off,” Jonker said.

committee’s process to find where the interest is and which sports are popular with women in Michigan, van der Merwe said.

“The survey went out to all undergrad students to measure participation interest and students are starting to complete

Although the team is young, Jonker said the team is ready.

“Honestly, now everyone on the team knows what’s going on,” Jonker said. “By the time they get to play in conference games, they’re not young anymore. I think youth is an excuse, and I have no excuses.”

Jonker said the team has focused on a Kent State pitcher who throws a lot of innings. She said the team especially focused on a certain tendency, of the pitcher but did not elaborate on the specific tendency because it could jeopardize the team’s success at exploiting it during the game.

“The pitcher that throws a majority of their innings has a tendency that we need to be aware of,” Jonker said. “We

always attempt to find out the tendencies of other teams.”

Kent State freshman pitcher Emma Johnson has thrown more innings, 91, than the other two starters combined, 85 2/3. Jonker did not specify which pitcher they are focusing most, but Johnson’s earned-run average is 1.85, while the other two starters’ ERAs are above 4.00.

Jonker said one of the broad goals of the team is to maintain a team effort.

“What we’re trying to achieve is to keep playing team softball,” Jonker said.

Jonker said earlier in the season the team has a season goal of week-to-week progression. She said the team has been successful each week in achieving that goal.

that,” van der Merwe said.

“That’s where we are in the process. We’re gathering this final bit of data and then working within the community to review all of the data.”

The committee has already taken high school sports in Michigan into consideration, as well as CMU club-sport participation, current Mid-American Conference sports and par-

ticipation history in the region at all levels, Chandler said.

Additionally, the committee is holding a seminar on Title IX on Thursday at 3 p.m. in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium. Nationally renowned Title IX expert Janet Judge will be in attendance to discuss the law.

Cotter said his only explanation for the difference in perstudent-funding levels, which range from less than $3,000 to upward of $8,000, is legislators favored certain institutions in the past.

“One of the first things I did when I came to the legislature was to dig into that and to find out why,” Cotter said. “And the answer is it’s political, and that’s the only answer I could get.

There’s no other sense you could make of the numbers or what happened before term limits.”

Ross’ testimony, given in the House Appropriations room in the state capitol building, also addressed performance-based metrics for state-funded univer-

percent.”

Ross said he supports Gov. Rick Snyder’s performancebased funding system, and CMU is willing to be held accountable by metrics for higher education funding.

“I really do think we need to do (performance-based funding) on peer comparisons,” Ross said. “And we have a group of 11 peers that we’d benchmark against CMU: schools that sort of look like us as far as enrollment, among other things.”

The university supported comparing performance against peer institutions based on metrics and supported using tuition prices, the number of graduates to remain in Michigan and the number of students using Pell Grants as metrics, Ross said.

time, minorities made up only 7.6 percent of the on-campus student body at CMU. In 2006, voters approved the ban, the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, also known as Proposal 2, by a 58-percent majority. This was an amendment to the Michigan Constitution.

A federal appeals court ruled on July 1 that the amendment was unconstitutional and overturned the ban. They ruled it deprived minorities in Michigan of their 14th Amendment right to equal protection under the law.

The ruling only affected states in the Sixth Circuit: Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan.

On March 14, the full sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati heard the case again. There has not yet been a ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court also is handling the issue in a case brought by a white student denied admission at the University of Texas at Austin.

The UAEM has created a tentative schedule; events will be starting at 8 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday and running until approximately 8 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

On both days, the UAEM has assembled a large variety of speakers, from different universities and backgrounds, to present.

There will also be a poster session open during registration on Saturday.

These presenters range from a Doctor of Health Scepter from the University of Michigan to a slam poet, all raising awareness about what their area of expertise can do for global health.

Every speaker is touching on subjects that pertain to Global Heath crisis and the need for affordable medications on a global, as well as local, scale.

“In order for us to think globally, we have to also think locally,” Upadhaya said. “(The event) is an inter-disciplinary approach.

We want to attract people from all aspects to unite all the courses.”

sities, financial aid and university access for first generation, minority and nontraditional students. Along with Ross, Eastern Michigan University President Sarah Martin and Wayne State University Vice President for Governmental and Community Affairs Patrick Lindsey testified before the committee.

Ross first addressed the subcommittee’s question regarding financial aid, addressing tuition raises and increase in financial aid in recent years.

“Since 2008, CMU has increased its financial aid to students by 64 percent. We have gone from $31.5 million in 2008 to $51.7 in the current fiscal year,” Ross said. “I would note to you that over the last two fiscal years, cumulatively we’ve had the lowest tuition increases in the state. In the last two years, it’s been a combined total of 5.53
