hen Keno Davis asked his wife Krista about taking the Central Michigan men’s basketball position, she had one answer: “Go for it,” she said she told her husband. “If you love it, I love it.” Keno met three times in New Orleans last weekend during the NCAA Final Four with CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke before agreeing on a 5-year, $300,000 total annual salary. “We’re going to build the program in the appropriate way,” Keno Davis said. “Everyone wants a ton of wins and to win championships.” Krista Davis said she was excited about the opening since Keno was so excited about it. “He was excited about it,” she said. “He took this job without seeing the community, without seeing the university. He said the athletic director is awesome; he sounds great. I like what he’s talking about it. It’s a great institution

The new Central Michigan University men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis right, holds up a jersey presented to him by athletic director Dave Heeke Tuesday afternoon during a press conference held at McGuirk Arena in Mount Pleasant.

Derek Jackson couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the thought. Fast breaks, 3-pointers and dunks, something the 6-foot, 170-pound scrappy guard from Cleveland came to Central Michigan in the fall of 2010 for. But that run-and-gun style offense never materialized in his first two seasons in Mount Pleasant, compounded last month by the firing of Ernie Zeigler, the coach who recruited him. Enter Keno Davis, a fouryear head coach whose teams have ranked near the top of the nation in scoring. In 2009-10, his Providence Friars ranked third in the nation with 82.4 points per game. “I’m excited right now,” Jackson said after Davis was introduced during a Tuesday afternoon news conference. “It’s a new start, a new beginning for the program. He

has a great resume, seems like a great guy, and I’m excited for him to start and see what he’s looking for.” Jackson is so excited, in fact, he appears likely to stay and finish out his career in the maroon and gold. After word leaked Monday night about the Davis hire, he called his high school basketball coach, Al Wilson, who told him that their offense mimicked the one Davis ran at Providence. That, along with the idea he could become the leader – Trey Zeigler and Austin McBroom appear ready to leave at semester’s end – has Jackson likely staying put. “I started my career here, and I’m thinking about staying,” Jackson said. “I just want to meet him, talk to him more before I make any (final) decisions.”

Westboro Baptist Church returning to CMU April 23 By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka Kansas, argues with students in the Dow Science building Nov. 1, 2010. Westboro Baptist Church was invited by Associate Professor ofJournalism Dr. Timothy Boudreau to speak to his classes again in the end of April.

Associate Professor of Journalism Tim Boudreau likes to follow a tradition of inviting a controversial speaker to his classes each semester to better demonstrate an understanding of the freedom of speech. This semester, Boudreau has scheduled a return appearance for the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan. to speak on April 23. “Students are excited about having a chance to talk, discuss and debate with people who are in the news and with whom they disagree,” Boudreau said. “I might say that folks shouldn’t confuse my allowing them to speak with my endorsing what they have to say.”

Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of the church’s founder Fred Phelps, will be returning for her second visit to CMU. She first appeared on campus, along with daughters Megan and Rebekah, in November 2010. “The first time was ... wow, amazing,” Phelps-Roper said by phone Tuesday. “There was a lot of interaction and a lot of intensity, and we were very thankful for the opportunity to speak to those people. We couldn’t have asked for anything more than just that.” This time around, Shirley will be accompanied by her brother Fred Phelps Jr., daughter-in-law Jennifer Phelps-Roper and another member of the church. The family gained acknowledgment for protest-

ing at funerals of American military members killed in combat, as well as the BBC documentary “The Most Hated Family in America.” “I bring in groups who illustrate concepts we talk about in class, and I think few groups better illustrate the limits of free expression than Westboro Baptist Church,” Boudreau said. Both of his JRN 101: Mass Communications classes are scheduled to hear from the family, as well as his JRN 404: Law of Mass Communication class. The event will be a closed class setting, though open by invitation for a small group outside those enrolled in the courses. “I’ve had people ask if their friends can come in,

“Today, we introduce the right individual,” Heeke said. “It’s about people, philosophy and fit. We found the right person.” During the 07-08 season, Davis was the head coach at Drake. He went 28-5, making the NCAA tournament before being hired at Providence. In his first season at Providence, he went 19-14 and took them to the NIT postseason tournament. “He’s been to the tournament; he’s actually done what we’re trying to do,” sophomore guard Derek Jackson said. His record as head coach is 74-55. In the 2009-10 season, Davis and Providence had the thirdbest offense in the country averaging 82.4 points per game. “Running, getting on the run, lot of fast breaks is what he was saying,” Jackson said about what Davis talked about during his meeting with the team after the press conference introducing him as head coach.

He is one of the few players to have kept a low profile publicly, avoiding social-media sites like Twitter. While Trey and McBroom both indicated almost immediately after Zeigler’s firing of their intentions to leave, Jackson kept quiet. Monday night, he tweeted “#KENODAVIS head coach,” and then retweeted several others expressing excitement over the hire. CMU players had an introductory meeting with Davis for about 15 minutes Tuesday in which he told them of his offensive philosophy and how he expects them to handle themselves. They will then begin to introduce themselves, through one-on-one meetings, with Davis over the next several weeks. All players were present at the meeting, including McBroom, but Jackson said he was unsure of the status of others. “I really don’t know what they’re doing,” he said. “We’re a team, and I want some of my teammates to be here. If it’s not the best opportunity for them, the best fit, then they should do whatever is best for them.

During his season at Drake, six organizations voted Davis as the National Coach of the Year, including the Associated Press and Sporting News. “What got me here at Central Michigan? Why do I believe there’s success here athletically and academically?” Davis asked. “I’m very aware of the tradition of Central Michigan. At Drake, we did (a) lot of recruiting up here. I was always aware of the great student athletes before college, the ones in Michigan at the high-school level. Those young were as prepared as they are in any state to go on to great things at the collegiate level.” Davis was the assistant coach at Drake for five seasons before being hired as head coach. In his first season as Providence head coach in 2009-10, he helped them beat No. 1 ranked Pittsburgh 81-73. “The greatest highlight of my career wasn’t the 2008 season where we finished 14th in the country at Drake,” Davis said. “It was the chance to come in where they haven’t had a winning season in 20 years and be able to build it the way you build it first is with the young men

[News] Keel still ‘unsure’ Another question mark heading into next season will be the status of Austin Keel. Recruited out of Winter Springs, Fla., by Zeigler and his staff, Keel was considered a sharp-shooter unafraid of firing up the 3-ball. In his freshman season at CMU, he shot 30 percent in 3-point attempts, good for third-best on the team. Keel says he is unsure about his future and wants to sit down with Davis before making a final decision. “I didn’t know much about him, but I knew he had a pretty successful career at Drake and then went to Providence and some things didn’t work out,” Keel said. “I knew he won national coach of the year, so he must be doing something right.” On Tuesday, Davis told members of the media that players in the program will have the opportunity to stay on. “As you meet them, whatever they’ve said publicly, you give them a chance,” he said. “Let’s have a conversation, let’s see what’s going to be best for that young man and for us as a program.”

apart of the program. You challenge them.” Davis is taking over a CMU team that has had four winning seasons since 1980. “You look at the commitment and the investment to the student athletes here. You can see it’s at a level beyond where it’s ever been,” Davis said. “When you put those things together you’re talking about the potential for great success.” He is a 1995 graduate of Iowa. In 1995, he began his coaching career as an assistant for Bruce Pearl at Southern Indiana. He was there for two seasons before going to Southeast Missouri State. Davis said those midwest ties will help recruiting and spoke about Michigan players helping him have success as a head coach on the east coast. He said he is looking forward to meeting with the current and future student athletes and expects them to “continue to build upon the great Chippewa pride.” From 1991 to 1995, he was a undergraduate assistant at Iowa. Davis’ father Tom Davis was the head coach at Iowa from 1986-1999. He then took over Drake from 2003-2007. Tom Davis had a 598-355 record as a head coach. Heeke said he felt confident with his ability to recruit. “Recruiting is going to start in Michigan,” Davis said. “We aren’t going to get outworked in our back yard.” Davis will focus on recruiting and meeting with his current players the next few weeks. Recruiting will pull him from his family. “Oh no, he’s going to be gone for the next couple months,” Krista said. “We won’t see him. He has a program to build, and he’ll do it with his whole heart.”

Actor Kal Penn to cost CMU $30,000 as keynote speaker By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

Actor and keynote speaker Kal Penn will be paid $30,000 as a guest of Central Michigan University for Asian Pacific American Heritage month. CMU will be responsible for his firstclass airfare, hotel stay and transportation, according to documents obtained by Central Michigan Life under a Freedom of Information Act request. Penn, 34, will be speaking twice to open audiences, first at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, followed by a meeting at 9 a.m. Friday. Discussion in regard to Penn’s visit to CMU dates back to November 2011. “Any funding support that you and your college can provide would help us to bring these well-known personalities and trailblazers in academe, civil rights, cinema and politics to campus,” Denise Green, associate vice president for Institutional Diversity, wrote in an email to Salma Ghanem, the dean of the College of Communications and Fine Arts. Green asked Ghanem for

support in paying for the semester’s speakers from the CCFA, including Lani Guinere ($1,000), Dick Gregory ($1,000) and Penn ($4,000), but Ghanem said she wouldn’t be able to provide much monetary help. “As much as I would like to help out more, I am a little strapped for now because of budget cuts, taking Opus on the road and upgrading our broadcast equipment,” Ghanem said in an email sent on March 26. Green said on March 23 that many of the campus co-sponsors originally anticipated to help did not come through, one of which was expected to pay almost $10,000. Penn was originally scheduled to speak March 29 and 30, though his visit was rescheduled to work around Penn’s filming schedule, Keisha Janney, assistant director of Multicultural Academic Services, told CM Life. Steve Berglund, director of University Theatre, had other worries about having the event scheduled on Friday morning, suggesting in

A- Senate continues suspension on College of Medicine curriculum By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

A majority of the Academic Senate voted Tuesday to continue to suspend committee work toward developing the curriculum of the College of Medicine. The A-Senate resolved to hold a motion to rescind the prohibiting resolution during their next meeting on April 17. If the motion is withheld at that time, curriculum work for CMED will continue. The development of the curriculum was suspended originally after a resolution passed by the A-Senate on Nov. 1 stated “all work by, towards, and on behalf of the College of Medicine pertaining to curriculum, non-curricular policies and procedures and faculty recruitment be suspended until such time as the above concerns have been addressed by and to the satisfaction of the Academic Senate.” James Hill, professor of political science, said the Nov. 1 resolution means little if the Senate does not follow up on it. “I wonder what the value of the resolution is if we continue as normal,” Hill said. “If it’s going to have an impact, it must extend to the committees.” University President George Ross initially questioned the

A-Senate’s inhibitions, asking “what info hasn’t been provided?” and referred to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation granted earlier this year, in addition to financial reports released earlier this year. Questions were then asked regarding the total cost of the project, and Ross said he would immediately release that information when it becomes available. “When that information is revealed to me, I will present it to this body, the university and the state,” Ross said. Other business Two academic programs, the nursing minor and humanities minor, were deleted from the university curriculum by unanimous vote. Both will no longer be available for registration in the fall semester. All the openings of the Senate nominating committee were filled by David Whale, professor of educational leadership and Lynn Dominguez, assistant professor of recreation parks and leisure services. One position is still open in the Faculty Senate, with Mark Lehman, professor of communication disorders, filling one of the two vacant senate seats. university@cm-life.com

Matt Herrod has no memory of the party he attended on April 2, 2011, or of the two-story fall that put him in a coma for the following three weeks. One year after the accident that almost took his life, the Livonia junior is opening up about his journey of recovery. Although much of what happened remains a mystery because of his memory loss, Herrod has put together some pieces of his accident.

“I had a lot going for me in life and this one incident happened and it was all put on hold,” he said. “But that is why I firmly believe I was given a second chance for a reason.” He went with a friend that night to a party at a second-story apartment at the Village at Bluegrass, 4300 Collegiate Way. Katie Kendall, a junior from Florida, lived there, but had never met Herrod. About 75 to 100 people were crammed into the apartment, she said, which brought the police to break up the party.

Those on the balcony jumped down to avoid the police at the door. Kendall said Herrod, who had been drinking heavily, must have made a bad leap over the railing. “It’s really not that high, but I feel if you jump the wrong way, it can end bad,” she said. “I thought of every possibility of what could have happened, and the only thing I could come to is that he jumped.”

Politicos talk Republican primary, predict winner of fall elections at Monday’s Griffin Policy Forum By Emily Pfund Staff Reporter

Political insiders from across the state traveled to Central Michigan University Monday evening to discuss current issues in Michigan politics and make predictions about the 2012 elections at the spring Griffin Policy Forum. The panelists included Jill Alper, Democratic strategist

and media consultant at Dewey Square Group; Rusty Hills, director of public affairs for the Michigan attorney general; John Truscott, president and principal of Truscott Rossman; and Rick Wiener, founder of Wiener Associates. Rick Pluta, managing editor and state capitol bureau chief from Michigan Public Radio Network, moderated the discussion. About 50 students and community members attended the

forum, including state Sen. Judy Emmons, R-Sheridan, and state Rep. Mark Meadows, D-East Lansing. When asked about which candidate would take Michigan in the presidential election, the panelists split down party lines. Alper and Wiener, both Democrats, said Obama would win, while the Republicans, Hill and Truscott, picked Romney, who they assumed would win the

Republican nomination. While the Republican primaries have not ended and former Sen. Rick Santorum and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich are still in the race for the nomination, Hills said Super PACs have been keeping them in the race longer than the candidates would have lasted on their own.

$50,000 P.O.D. Mobile food car brought in by Campus Dining By Anna McNeill Staff Reporter

A new food car operated by Central Michigan University Campus Dining has begun making stops on campus on a trial basis to find the optimal spots for operation. The P.O.D. (Provisions On Demand) Mobile, which was a $50,000 investment, is set to be in operation from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Monday through Thursday at various unscheduled locations across campus, weather permitting. Retail Food Service Manager Greg Hall said Campus Dining first came across the concept at a meeting last summer and decided it could provide an essential service to campus. “The great thing about the mobility of P.O.D. Mobile is that it can also be used for one-day events such as catering events, sporting events, summer campus and other special events,”

“We saw the lack of food service offerings in the center of campus.” Angela Dowis, Assistant Food Service Director Hall said. “If there’s an event or location that needs food service and they can’t come to us, we’ll go to them.” The P.O.D. Mobile will offer a mobile supply of food similar to that found in Campus Dining shops and kiosks, including a variety of beverages, candy, snacks and meals. Currently, it only takes cash and credit cards, but after the car becomes more established, then there is the potential for Flex dollars being an added form of payment. “We saw the lack of food service offerings in the center of campus,” Assistant Food Service Director Angela Dowis said. “This allows us to provide a service to those students and fac-

ulty in (the) area.” The car was first seen set up behind the Park Library on March 22. When asked about the P.O.D. Mobile, some students were completely unaware of what the acronym stood for or that this new service was even on CMU’s campus. “I have never heard of the car, and I kind of want to know what it looks like,” Pinckney sophomore Mandi Rodery said. “I think it will be a cool thing, like if people are running late for class and they can’t make it to the C3 in Pearce, they have a new option instead of going hungry to class.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Davis has a chance to rebuild a losing program

Fresh start

ketball compounded by location and aging facilities. Like Ernie Zeigler learned on March 14, those are no longer valid excuses. The facilities, including a $22 million renovation to the basketball arena and installation of a new practice facility, are there. Support for a team that can compete and win is there. And with some of the program’s top players, including Trey Zeigler and Austin McBroom, all but gone, Davis can start anew. Some might stay, but he can begin to recruit his type of players to run his type of offense, an up tempo, runand-gun style that Zeigler had en-

t’s been well documented how hard it is for a men’s basketball coach to put together a winning season here at CMU. Since 1980, the Chippewas have experienced just three winning seasons and one Mid-American Conference championship. Not exactly the “championship culture” Athletics Director Dave Heeke likes to tout. But Keno Davis, introduced

Tuesday as the 20th head coach in program history, has the chance to implement a type of change we have not seen for decades. In between short bursts of success, including a trip to the NCAA tournament in 2003, we have been stuck with years of mediocre bas-

visioned but could not produce during games. Realistically, it might take a few years. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will a winning CMU basketball program. Davis should not rest on the good will he and his team are bound to receive as “anybody but the Zeiglers.” Recruiting the type of players Davis wants for his offense could take a bit of time. But this Editorial Board extends a congratulations to Davis and hopes he can bring a winning record, and the soaring morale that would doubtlessly come with it, to this beleaguered team.

How Opening Day changed my life Opening Day forever changed my life. Thursday, the Detroit Tigers will host the Boston Red Sox and begin the 2012 season — a season full of hope after last year’s playoff run and the signing of slugger Prince Fielder. But Opening Day didn’t change my life because of what took place on the field. It all started about four years ago: My friends and I were in our first or second year of going to Opening Day, which has since become our strongest tradition. I was working at Salsarita’s in Brighton, and there was a new owner. Literally on the owner’s first day of work, months before Opening Day, I said that’s all I care about — having that day off. Naturally, months later after reminders, I was scheduled. Not a problem — I quit my job to go to Opening Day. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you there were lots of other problems between the owner and myself, but that was the final straw. So my friends and I piled in a tiny car, sang our hearts out on I-96 during the early morning drive and later enjoyed the festivities in Detroit. After the game, I faced the challenge of being unemployed in the heat of a recession. I had a buddy who could pull some weight at a nice restaurant called Baker’s in Milford. After the interview, he, understandably, couldn’t hire someone who quit his job to go to a baseball game (I couldn’t lie to the guy). So I had a fall-back plan of working at Subway, which luckily had an opening shortly after Opening Day. Now, Subway didn’t change my life, but a year and three months later, it did. A stunning, short-blonde-haired beauty walked through the doors with a cute, clean, white smile that could make a baseball nerd’s heart stop — this baseball nerd to be exact. Her name was Sarah, and I had to have her. On the second day we were scheduled to work together, I worked up the courage and felt pretty sly whipping my number for her inviting her to a — wait for it — MLB All Star game party. She was, as Subway says, a no-call no-show. It took about a year of waiting for the old, clown (cough, cough; sorry, Sarah) boyfriend to run his course before I was able to swoop in. I later found out I actually gave her the wrong number. Either that, or Sarah couldn’t read my sloppy handwriting. But I landed that smoking hot blonde from Subway eventually. Fast-forward a few years, and Sarah still hasn’t joined the boys’ tradition of Opening Day. Yet. But every other day out of the year revolves around her. She changed my life. Without Opening Day, I still likely would have left Salsarita’s, but who knows where I could have ended up. Maybe Baker’s, maybe a sweeter job with more pay. But maybe I would not have met the love of my life, Miss Sarah Martens.

[Letter to the Editor]

Flaws with new cmich.edu Regarding Monday’s article “Delay in cmich.edu redesign will not cost CMU more than contracted $550,000,” there are a number of errors of fact. “The delay in the Central Michigan University website redesign will not cost the university more than its contracted $550,000, Vice President for Information Technology Roger Rehm said last week.” Roger lied; the delay has cost more than the contracted amount. Just because the work is being done by CMU staff instead of consultants, it doesn’t mean it has no cost. “Initially tabbed for an August launch, the project was delayed after the number of pages needed to be migrated bloomed above 50,000,” the story said. The delay wasn’t caused by an increase in the number of pages that needed to be migrated. The incompetent running the project failed to learn the true scope of what was involved before the contract was signed. As it turned out, large numbers of pages that were to be migrated were actually not migrated, as Blue Chip wasn’t prepared to deal with dynamic pages. Much of the work they were to do was dumped off onto various I.T. staff throughout the university, causing delays in other projects. “One of the key aspects of relaunch will be Central Link, a new and improved version of the CMU Portal, where students will be able to access grades, Blackboard and email, among other options,” the story said. CentralLink may be new, but it’s far from an improved portal. It’s a terrible design in many ways. The most glaring deficiency is indicated by the training video that eats up much of

the page. A portal that requires training to use is inherently flawed; it should be intuitive for anyone who has basic webbrowsing experience. Another design failure is the sloppy pseudo-calligraphy that makes it look like “CentralOink”, which would be a more fitting name for it. Also, instead of there being a cohesive visual design, it looks like everything was slopped under a half-baked menu system. (It was). “Rehm said the new site is more efficient compared to the old web environment, where users would have to log in separately for Blackboard and email access,” the story said. Rehm is ignorant of the current system’s capabilities. Once users log in to iCentral (which was always an idiotic name), they can click the corresponding link in the upper right corner, and it’ll go there with no need to re-enter credentials. If Renee Walker wants some feedback, here it is: She’s incompetent when it comes to web design, as she demonstrated back in 2007, reinforced with her ‘help’ with Mount Pleasant’s website redesign and capped off with this travesty. She’s been a failure at managing the project; people who could’ve provided valuable input were excluded until after terrible decisions were made and then were kept in the dark as to what would be required of them. Despite my negligible direct involvement in this project and my peripheral location in the organization, I was able to identify the mid-August ‘deadline’ as pure fantasy when I heard of it last spring. It’s ‘funny’ how the launch was only called off less than two weeks from that deadline, and it’s now taken nearly eight months for

it to finally be ‘ready’ to launch (into the nearest garbage can). Thanks to the failures of Walker, Rehm and Blue Chip, CentralOink is a lousy portal and a giant waste of time and money. The money that went to Blue Chip would’ve been put to better use converted into dollar bills and burned to fire the boilers in the power plant. To address Monday’s editorial “EDITORIAL: Why add new website onto end of semester stressors?” the answer is that Walker and Rehm are clueless, failing to see the timing is a disservice to students. Launching at this point in the semester is worse than the three-hour graduation ceremony in the wind, rain and cold that was inflicted upon graduates who chose to walk two years ago while the Event Center was undergoing construction. At least with that, there was no adverse impact on academics. Finally, I’ll add my own unanimous vote of no confidence in George Ross, Gary Shapiro and the Board of the Untrustworthy. They should pile into a tiny vehicle, along with Walker, Rehm, Heeke, Wilbur and Yatz, drive down to Lansing to pick up Rick Snyder, then head off to find a third-rate circus in need of their services as clowns and/ or midway game hucksters.

Nathan Inks Staff Columnist

The right call On Monday, Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Clinton Canady III issued a ruling saying Michigan House Republicans can no longer ignore Democrats’ requests to take a roll call vote on motions for immediate effect on bills. Per the state constitution, a bill that is passed does not go into effect until 90 days after the end of the legislative session, unless two-thirds of both the House and Senate vote to give it immediate effect. Because of their supermajority in the Senate, Republicans usually have a guarantee of immediate effect passing on that side. Historically, both Democrats and Republicans have used the method of asking members to stand in support of an immediate effect motion; the chairperson then says that, in his opinion, a sufficient number has risen and declares the motion passed. But now, Democrats are unhappy with some bills the GOP is passing, so they have begun asking for roll call votes on immediate effect motions. So far, the Republicans have largely ignored these requests when they know they do not have two-thirds support. Under Rule 12 of the House rules, a roll call vote may be requested by onefifth of members present. To prove that they have one-fifth support for a roll call vote, House Democrats have collected signatures, but the request has still been ignored by the Republican leadership. So on Monday, Judge Canady put a stop to this practice, and his ruling is right. As the party which encourages “rule of law,” Republicans ought to be above blatant partisan cheating to get their way in the legislature. But this is not merely the fault of the GOP. For years, Democrats did the same thing, and it became precedent to ignore the rules. Both parties had a consensus that this was okay until Democrats became unhappy with what was being passed. The Republicans will not be in control forever, and now that Democrats have cried “foul,” they are going to have to play by the rules in the future. This back-and-forth partisan gamesmanship only hurts the legislature’s chances of passing good laws to help our state. House Minority Floor Leader Kate Segal (D-Battle Creek) told reporters, “The whole point of this has been this is trampling of the constitution, and it’s time for this process to stop.” That statement is just as partisan as the Republicans’ claims that this process is fine and dandy; Segal knows very well that she would not be advocating for “this process to stop” if her party were in control. While the Democrats’ complaints have obtained a ruling that is a victory for law and order, their reasons are anything but pure; on the flip side, the Republicans’ defense is pure partisan rhetoric. Both sides need to stop the partisan squabbling, come together and play by the rules if they truly want to get Michigan back on the right track. Nathan Inks is the president of College Republicans.

These organizations, which have funded much of the negative advertising surrounding the primaries, are not officially associated with a specific candidate. “We don’t know yet how big (the impact will be),” Truscott said. “It will be very, very significant.” Finally, the discussion turned to the general atmosphere of politics today. Several of the panelists related stories about politicians in the past who would spar on the issues in public but later get together for drinks and a game of cards at the end of the day. “It’s been shifting for probably 30 years now,” said Wiener, referring to the increase in bitterness between the political parties. He attributed the change to the advent of the modern media, the rise in “talk-

Helen Thomas, a retired teacher and member of the League of Women Voters from Mount Pleasant, said she had expected the discussion to be more heated than it was. “I thought at the beginning it was going to be very

sharp, but that was not the case,” Thomas said. She attended the discussion with her friend Ginger Kjolhede, also of Mount Pleasant. “I enjoyed (the discussion) very much,” Kjolhede said. “I loved the camradery they showed.” CMU sophomores Brandon Suchecki, of Grand Haven, and Tyler Van Well, of Redford, attended the forum as part of a requirement for a history class. Van Well said he enjoyed hearing about what goes on behind the scenes in elections and seeing how both parties attack different issues. “I liked the end segment,” Suchecki said. “(The parties) are portrayed as bitter rivals, but they really do get along.” “It humanized it,” Van Well added. “It’s not what we see on TV.” university@cm-life.com

“I’ve had people ask if their friends can come in, and I welcome and encourage that,” he said. “The number of people we let in will depend on the size of the room and what campus police think, but unfortunately we can’t open it up to the general public.” Boudreau said the family was happy to accept the invitation, a contrast from their usual procedures of showing up to events unexpectedly. Shirley said invited or not, it’s all done for God. “With the eyes we have, you will see all of it as works of God, and he does this thing in one place and that thing in another place,” she said. “They are all results with preaching the gospel of the kingdom of Heaven to the whole world.” The main topic of discussion will be wrapped around freedom of speech, protected under the First Amendment, which the members of the Westboro Baptist Church are well educated on. “I’m a lawyer and so is Fred, Jr.,” Shirley said. “Of my parent’s 13 kids, 11 are lawyers. That First Amendment is the crowning jewel of all gifts given to this country by God.” Boudreau said he didn’t feel people should refuse to pay speakers who are unpopular, because the campus would find itself rather quiet. That being said, he said the Westboro Baptist Church members didn’t ask for compensation during their last visit and he doesn’t expect that will change this semester.

Penn will speak about his acting and political career in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium, followed by Friday’s event in Moore Hall’s Townsend Kiva. Both events will be free to the public. He is most commonly known for his role as Kumar in the “Harold and Kumar”

franchise, along with appearances in “House M.D.” and “How I Met Your Mother.” Penn’s political resume consists of time volunteering for President Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, as well as two years as the Associate Director at the White House Office of Public Engagement between 2009 and 2011. university@cm-life.com

HERROD |

w Catch Matt’s recovery and update on the web.

CONTINUED FROM 3A

Herrod said he believes he landed on his feet but fell forward, face planting into the icy ground. The impact fractured his skull and caused internal bleeding and swelling in his brain. Herrod said the fracture allowed the blood to drain and, ironically, saved his life. Had he not received immediate care, he said he could have died on the spot. Redford sophomore David Brimhall lived in the apartment above the party. Looking down on the scene, he saw Herrod lying in a pool of blood with an officer cradling his neck. Brimhall said he could no longer watch when he heard a first responder say, “He’s almost gone.” “I went in my room, closed my door and called my mom,” Brimhall said. “I told her, ‘There’s a kid who fell off this balcony. I think he’s going to die. I just wanted to let you know I love you, Mom.’” Herrod was taken to Mount Pleasant Community Hospital, then airlifted to Saint Mary’s of Michigan Medical Center in Saginaw. He remained in a coma for three weeks with 13 IV bags keeping him alive. His mother, Laura Herrod, stayed by his side the entire time he was unconscious. “It was the worst thing any mom could go through,” she said. “At that point, we didn’t know if he was going to live or die, and (the doctors) didn’t either.” Support for the family came in from all over Michigan. Laura said friends, fam-

ily and even mere acquaintances sent sympathy cards, gift cards, made meals and brought groceries. A friend made a Facebook group, Prayers for Matt Herrod, which at one point had more than 800 members. Laura Herrod said it felt like she won the lottery in friends. Herrod turned 21 while he was in the coma. “My grandma told me it’s the birthday I’ll never remember, but one I’ll never forget,” he said. On Easter Sunday, he awoke from his coma. Laura said she remembered his limbs moved sporadically like octopus tentacles as the drugs slowly brought him back to consciousness. “I remember waking up and thinking, ‘All this is a dream,’” he said. “But then I realized, ‘Oh dang, this is real.’” One week later, Herrod was starting physical therapy at the Rehabilitation

Institute of Michigan. Brain damage had left him unable to speak or walk. He communicated by spelling words on a keyboard. He said the loss of control over his own body frustrated him endlessly. “I’ve been talking and walking for 20 years, and it’s all taken away and you have to learn from square one all over again,” he said. “I feel like people don’t really understand freedom until it’s taken away from you ... it sucks.” Herrod said he wanted to be back in school so badly he said he once tried “escaping” therapy in his wheelchair. He finished rehab on June 9 but took the fall semester off to continue therapy. Since then, he has returned to CMU and regained full use of his body, although his speech is still slurred. He said he hopes to be completely back to normal by fall of 2012. On the one year anniversary of the fall, Herrod celebrated with his friends. This time, however, he said he was going to limit his alcohol intake. “It’s not worth it,” he said. “Life matters too much now.” studentlife@cm-life.com

of one another?

By Kelsey DeHaan | Staff Reporter Central Michigan University has now had signs reminding students to “Take Care” posted across campus for eight years. It is no secret CMU prides itself on the “friendly demeanor” they present, but how far does the notion of “Take Care” really go? Do students actually look out for one another? According to information posted on cmich.edu, CMU’s Take Care program was created in 2004 to discourage a bystander mentality. The program encourages others “to be aware of what is going on around

them, to notice potentially serious situations and to respond appropriately to influence a better outcome.” Throughout the first week of classes, friendships are made, numbers are exchanged and the whole campus is in a state of social bliss. After Welcome Weekend however, groups quickly form on campus and dorm room doors begin to close. The notion of “taking care” can be lost within a sea of names and numbers, all of which will be overlooked until the beginning of the next school year.

To get deeper into the helpful behavior of students on campus, I designed a series of experiments to test student interaction. After obtaining a map of CMU, I divided off highly populated zones of campus throughout the school day. Each zone was numbered, and three were randomly selected to conduct each experiment. Experiment one brought me to Real Food on Campus, a cafeteria located inside the Towers Residence Halls. I was curious to find out how open students were to the idea of meeting new people during meal times. The answer? Not very. As I took a seat at the cafeteria table, it was clear no one had any intention of joining me. While looking around at the RFOC’s breakfast crowd, I was not the only one sitting alone. “I don’t think eating by myself is weird,” Genesee freshman Devin Sapp said. “Actually, I kind of have grown to like eating alone.” Sapp said eating by himself is rare, because he is usually accompanied by his brother, Cody, but he said he would not feel comfortable trying to eat with someone new. “I am not comfortable going up to someone in the cafeteria,” Sapp said. “Unless I know them, I would never go out of my way to meet someone new.” Litchfield freshman Scott Steele said he is a solo diner as well. “I sit alone, by myself, all the time,” he said. “You don’t

know why people are sitting alone. They could have studying to do, they could be in a rush or maybe they just want to be left alone.” While some students prefer to eat alone, others have simply accepted it as the status quo. “I am not a fan of eating in the cafeteria by myself,” said Grand Ledge freshman Lacey Starr. “I just feel that when you are eating alone in the (cafeteria), it is quite lonely. People stare at you if you are alone, and I just don’t find that (to be) a fun experience.” When I stepped into the sunlight, things went from bad to worse. My second experiment took place near Anspach Hall. This time, I tripped, spilling hot coffee on myself and a 25-page term paper. Similar to the situation in the cafeteria, students walked past me as I crouched on the ground, trying to collect the soaking pages. No one asked if I needed help, nor did they initiate any kind of social interaction. Interestingly enough, each student who walked by turned back to look at me struggling, yet none of them were willing to come to my aid, and instead, several even laughed as they walked by. For my third experiment, I decided to trip in front of a group of students outside the Charles V. Park Library, spilling my books and other materials, to see if they would help me. Somewhat surprisingly, considering the way things went during the first two attempts, all four times I dropped my books, someone new went out of their way to help me. Two seniors, Jessica Reilly, from Midland, and Kawkawlin

native Claudia Marsh, immediately lent a helping hand. “I have been this person before,” Reilly said. “I would always go out of my way to help someone if they needed it, because I would want someone to help me.” Marsh agreed and said the notion of helping others had been engrained in her as a child. “It’s just the right thing to do,” she said. “I would expect someone to help me, and I would hope that I could trust people here to reach out if need be.” The way students reacted to the final social experiment is exactly why CMU prides itself on its friendliness. However, there have been times where students have fallen short in looking out for one another. On Friday, Central Michigan Life published a letter to the editor entitled “Helping your fellow human.” In the letter, 2010 graduate Melissa Buckelew described a horrifying scene: a student fell in the intersection between the Charles V. Park Library and Bovee University Center. The student hit her head on the cement, rolling over in pain. “No one stopped to help during that time,” Buckelew said in the letter. “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.” While many could agree Central Michigan University is not a perfect a school, Take Care has been created to eliminate some of the problems that happen on campus, but without active, concerned students, the strive for a friendlier campus falls short.

teachers on campus and the student body stay pretty connected. I guess in this way, Take Care fits in pretty well.” Voisin said it is students’ duty to care for not only themselves but for surroundings and peers as well. “Take Care should push students to create a more caring network on campus,” Voisin said. “It is really nothing more than the Golden Rule: ‘Treat others how you would like to be treated.’ It’s as simple as that.”

“Take Care is basically a way to look out for yourself and others while on campus,” said Saxe Residence Hall Director Benjamin Witt. “The message should be taken as a philosophy more than a policy, and it is as simple as it sounds.” Witt said subliminal marketing is used all over campus to stress the importance of Take Care.

“At concerts, we make sure to place Take Care banners in very obvious places, such as on the stage,” Witt said. Interim Dean of Student Life Tony Voisin said the main purpose of Take Care is to increase student awareness of one another. “This is a top-100 university with 20,000 students walking around campus every day,” he said. “The difference between our campus and others is that we are a large university plugged into a small town.

‘Yakuza: Dead Souls’ a lifeless game By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

‘Wrath of the Titans’ lacks story

By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

Most viewers going to see “Wrath of the Titans” are probably expecting a movie light on story and heavy on action, which is exactly what they’re going to get. This isn’t an inherently bad approach to take when making a film, but it’s hard to excuse the lack of a good story when a number of the action scenes fail to deliver as well. The movie, a sequel to 2010’s “Clash of the Titans,” starts with a surprisingly interesting premise. Mortals have stopped believing in the Gods and have thus stopped praying to them. This has left the Gods in a severely weakened state, which opens up the opportunity for the Titans, led by Kronos, to rise up and overthrow the Gods. Unfortunately, “Wrath of the Titans” doesn’t delve much deeper into the interesting parts of its story. The protagonist of the film is the half-god Perseus, played by Sam Worthington. Joining him on the

‘Wrath of the Titans’

HHHHH w Genre: Action, Fantasy w Rating: PG-13 journey are Queen Andromeda, played by Rosamund Pike and another half-god named Agenor, played by Toby Kebbell. Zeus and Hades are once again played by Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. Worthington and Pike put in pretty mediocre performances. Many of their lines are delivered in a stiff and boring manner, and there doesn’t seem to be much depth to their characters. Neeson and Fiennes make for pretty awesome deities, but the film doesn’t give them much to work with. Kebbell is a pleasant surprise as Agenor. His character is interesting, and he is one of the only people in the film capable of delivering any humor. Unfortunately, like every other character in the film, he seems severely

underdeveloped. Much like the story, the action in “Wrath of the Titans” starts off strong but becomes a little dull as the film progresses. Some scenes, like the Chimera tearing through a village, look great and really get the viewer’s adrenaline pumping. But there are also scenes like the Minotaur fight, which end much too quickly and give audiences a very anticlimactic and unsatisfying conclusion. It seems as though the further into his journey Perseus gets, the easier his battles become, despite facing more powerful enemies. Rushing through potentially cool action sequences in order to fit in more of the monotonous story does not make for an enjoyable second half of the film. Even the massive final confrontation somehow manages to be completely underwhelming. “Wrath of the Titans” is too superficial to provide an engaging story but has too many sub-par action scenes to leave audiences feeling satisfied.

Advice

If a relationship is bad, get out Jordan Spence Staff Reporter I have noticed a trend lately that for some reason seems to be growing at a rapid pace; more and more people I know seem to be settling into terrible relationships. It’s nothing new, but at this point, I can’t take losing any more friends to people who don’t treat them right. I don’t mean they are being abused, although some unfortunately are, but they stay in relationships where fighting, tears, cheating and insults are normal. It never should be. Yes, serious relationships go through ups and downs and sporadic fights, but the majority of the time, it should be a safe, happy and secure place. I’m lucky my parents have

had a good relationship, good not perfect. I’ve seen them fight like any normal couple and survive illness, job loss and money being tight, but I’ve never seen them completely lose respect for each other and their relationship. Parents aren’t the only people a younger generation can look to for good examples. If your parents don’t have a good relationship, look to other family and friends who do. I’ve grown up seeing various relatives and friends around me in good relationships who have shown and taught me what real love is, which is yet another reason I’m saddened to see beautiful, smart and funny friends stay in a bad relationship. It’s usually because they’re scared to leave or they think they’re in love, but what’s so much worse about being happy and single than miserable in a bad relationship? People need to take hold of their singledom, find what makes them happy, strong and confident; then and only then will they be ready for a relationship.

Have fun with your friends, work out, take a vacation, start a new hobby or focus on your career. Do whatever makes you happy and feel good. Surround yourself with people who want the best for you as well and treat you right, and a good relationship will fall into place when the time is right. If you’re in a bad relationship, tell yourself you are worth a better one. It’s simple and effective. Trust me, after being single for two years, it was worth the wait for the right guy, who is wonderful and treats me right. The wait meant I went home alone from the bar instead of settling for the jerk who grabbed me like a piece of property. It meant attending weddings dateless and making it through a few holiday seasons single, but I never settled. Remember, nothing worth fighting for comes easily and without some strife.

“Yakuza: Dead Souls” is a strange game. It takes the “Yakuza” series, which usually revolves around organized crime in Japan, and adds zombies. It’s a game that could have been just crazy enough to actually be enjoyable, but the reality is “Yakuza: Dead Souls” is a game with an outdated and frustrating control scheme, boring enemies that seem to be taken from other games and a mediocre story filled with boring sub-stories and minigames. One of the first hurdles players must clear in order to garner any enjoyment out of “Yakuza: Dead Souls” is the awful controls. Even the basic controls for moving the character and the camera are a pain. Moving the character around feels really imprecise, and the

camera floats too much. The controls are already difficult, but things get worse once players need to aim at something. When the player aims their gun, the camera swings around to whatever direction the character is physically facing, regardless of where the camera is initially pointed. If the player has the camera pointed at a bunch of zombies but the character is facing a wall, the camera will snap around and aim at the wall instead of the zombies. This leads to a lot of infuriating combat scenarios, because the player has to make sure their character is physically facing a target before aiming. It also makes strafing pretty difficult. Luckily, the enemies aren’t fun to fight anyway. There are run-of-the-mill zombies and special zombies called mutants. The crazy thing about a lot of the mutants is they seem to have been lifted directly from “Left 4 Dead.”

‘Yakuza: Dead Souls’

HHHHH w Platforms: PlayStation 3 w Genre: Third-Person-Action w ESRB Rating: M (Mature)

The game basically copies all of the specialized zombies from “Left 4 Dead” and just slaps a different name on them. The story is pretty boring as well. But the sub-stories, however, make the main plot look like Oscar material. These side quests usually involve extremely dull premises that always end up with the player going to fetch something in the quarantine zone. It wouldn’t be so bad if the player could complete more than one of them at a time, but that’s not usually an option. There is a very specific and small audience that might enjoy this game, but most people should stay far away.

gymnastics

Reighard, team preparing for their fourth-straight regionals Saturday By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

The gymnastics team will be going to their fourthstraight regionals, which start 6 p.m. on Saturday in Seattle. Head coach Jerry Reighard is pleased with the progress the team is making in practice. “I think we are doing really well,” Reighard said. “We had a mock meet today; I thought the team looked really good. We scored high; I think we are on the right road.” The Chippewas had a week to prepare for the MAC tournament when they won. They will have two weeks to prepare for regionals. In practice, the team is staying sharp by having mock meets. “The focus and aim of this program has always been to win that MAC tournament,and regular season title,” Reighard said. “That’s my job; that’s what I’m here at CMU to do. When you make it to the tournament, it’s a different emphasis. You’re competing to make the national stage.” Even after making the regionals four-straight years, Reighard said he still gets nervous before meets. “I get nervous before every meet,” Reighard said. “You can prepare all you want to as a coach, but on that Saturday, you turn it over. There is nothing more uncontrollable from a coach’s standpoint than a meet. For those 30 seconds, you just sit back and watch.” Until six years ago, CMU had to qualify as one of six teams from their region; it included Michigan and all the states south to Louisiana. The region included 13 states and made it difficult for CMU to be one of the top six schools to qualify. Often CMU would be in

“I think our chances are very good. I’m very optimistic. I told our team if we don’t score a 196 then it’s not going to happen.” Jerry Reighard, Head coach the top 36 nationally but fail to make the tournament because of the power-house programs in their region. Six years ago, the format changed where the top 36 schools in the nation make the tournament. “I’d have to say we need to get past LSU,” Reighard said. “We are going out here to win this thing. I think it would be feudal for any program or coach to go out and say ‘I’m going to just do my best and see what happens.’ That’s not the way I coach.” CMU faces a strong region. Defending national champions Alabama has been to the national championship 20 straight years. LSU has made it before to the national championships. The rest of the field Iowa, Washington, Arizona and CMU - have never made national championship appearances. “We are very focused right now,” Reighard said. “This team believes their best days are ahead of them. We haven’t peaked yet. They believe they can do this.” Reighard said he thinks freshman Halle Moraw could be a dark horse in the

regional’s. “I really think Halle Moraw could be that person,” Reighard said. “She has really put together some good all-arounds. Sometimes, as a freshman, you have a hard time focusing and refocusing, but I like the way she looks and the judges like her. If she has that 40-minute focus, I think she is that person.” Reighard hasn’t made the national championship. CMU came close when they tied Auburn in 2004 but lost in the tie breaker. Reighard can’t imagine they made the national championship. “I don’t think words can express the feelings I’d have personally,” Reighard said. “It’s one of those goals I’ve always had. To make it would be a great feeling.” Reighard is optimistic about CMU’s chances. “I think our chances are very good,” Reighard said. “I’m very optimistic. I told my team that if we don’t score a 196 then it’s not going to happen. It’s going to take that kind of effort.”

Softball opener today against MSU By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

Today is the first time the Central Michigan softball team will not have to pack and ride a bus to a game this season. The Chippewas 28th game will be the first home game against Michigan State at 4 p.m. at Margo Jonker Stadium. CMU (14-13) played in a one-pitch scrimmage in preparation for its first home game. Assistant coach Joanna Lane said it’s the first time the team has played a one-pitch scrimmage. “We talked about being aggressive at the plate. This will help us with that,” Lane said. “We want to be more aggressive with pitching. This will help us with that also.” CMU beat MSU (10-23) 8-4 March 17 at Bloomington, Ind. in the Hoosier Classic. The Chippewas had nine hits. A six-run sixth inning propelled the CMU making the score

7-4. Sophomore pitcher Chelsea Sundberg earned the win, and sophomore pitcher Morgan Yuncker earned a save with a one-two-three ninth inning. Lane said the game might have slightly more emotion, considering 19-year MSU coach Jacquie Joseph played for CMU head coach Margo Jonker in the mid-1980s. “I think there’s always one of those games that has a little bit more emotion than others,” Lane said. Lane said the starting pitcher is unknown and is typically a game-time decision. Starting pitchers are decided based on the condition of the pitchers and game plans finalized hours before the game. MSU is ranked No. 116 in the NCAA Division I softball rankings. CMU is No. 118. WHO TO WATCH Senior infielder Molly Coldren said she’s been a lot more confident this year than in

years past. “I think it’s more of it being my fourth year and facing the pitchers before,” Coldren said. “Confidence is huge at the collegiate level. We’re confident, but I don’t think we can take (MSU) for granted.” “I think we’re excited,” Coldren said about the first home game. “There’s a different feeling about home games. It’s more positive.” She’s hitting .370 with 25 RBIs and six home runs.

KEY STAT CMU has 37 stolen bases in 47 attempts. Their opponents have 19 stolen bases in 24 attempts. MSU has 35 stolen bases in 45 attempts. Opponents have 38 stolen bases in 45 attempts. Lane said the team’s stolen bases numbers might be skewed, because the team does a lot of hit-and-run plays. sports@cm-life.com
