‘RUPAUL’ STAR TO SPEAK ON CAMPUS FEB. 26 Reality television personality and drag superstar Morgan McMichaels will be speaking at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 in Plachta Auditorium. McMichaels has been featured on the television show "RuPaul's Drag Race" and in music videos for Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Program Board Lecture Director Elizabeth Hernandez said her initial mission for the year was to deliver a variety of talent from “different walks of life.” “I believe (McMichaels) fits that,” Hernandez said. “This event is a little more exciting because she’s
been on 'RuPaul' and I know that’s a show a lot of MORGAN people MCMICHAELS like to watch. It’s cool to have a recognized name come to campus.” The visit was also made possible through the help of the Office of LGBTQ Services, Hernandez said. Hernandez first experienced McMichaels' stage performance in October during a National Association for
ParkPlace
aPartments
Campus Activities (NACA) conference, she said. ”When I saw her perform, I just knew we (needed) McMichaels at CMU,” Hernandez said. McMichaels' presence can help put a focus on LGBTQ topics at CMU and help expand an inclusive mindset on campus, Hernandez said. “I really want people to enjoy it and have a fun time and maybe even start a conversation on the importance of LGBTQ issues,“ Hernandez said. -Samantha Shriber, Staff Reporter

Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority suspended National organization received hazing allegation By Emma Dale Community Editor news@cm-life.com
The sorority chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma has been suspended at Central Michigan University. Jordan Borchert, assistant director of Sorority and Fraternity Life, confirmed the suspension
Feb. 20. The news of the suspension was posted on the Greek Life’s CMU webpage, after it was added to the list of unrecognized organizations. It states the sorority was “suspended indefinitely by the Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. due to alleged hazing.” @CMUGreeks posted a tweet Feb. 15 with the link, writing “Effective Immediately.” Central Michigan Life contacted local Sigma Lambda Gamma leaders who said to direct any questions to the headquarters of the chapter. CM Life reached out to the national chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc., who could not provide any information. The sorority is still under investigation, the spokeswoman said.
Teacher education and professional development professor Corbett dies By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
A professor in the College of Education and Human Services will be remembered with a scholarship for international student teachers. Larry Corbett, who served as director of the Center for Clinical Experiences and was a professor in teacher education and professional development, died Feb. 16 of cancer. He was 66. CEHS Dean Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson said faculty and staff in CEHS have donated money to create the Dr. Larry Corbett Memorial Fund in his honor: a scholarship for international student teachers. Donations can be made by contacting the CEHS dean’s office. “(Corbett) had a big heart. He tried to help people in any way he could,” Pehrsson
said. “Our college and Michigan has lost a great colleague and teacher.” PehrsCORBETT: He started an son said international Corbett program in worked as the Dominican a teacher, Republic. principal, coach and superintendent at schools around Michigan before coming to CMU. At CMU, Corbett started as a faculty member, then became chair of the Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development. Pehrsson said as department chair, Corbett continued to teach and earned the rank of professor. Corbett’s most recent title was director of the Center for Clinical Experiences in CEHS.
Pehrsson said the center is where future teachers go to get placed into a student teaching position and receive evaluation before they graduate. “The center is the checkpoint before (students) go out and work professionally,” Pehrsson said. “Evaluation is rigorous because we need to make sure they are ready to be teachers.” Corbett loved to travel and taught in several international programs, Pehrsson said. Corbett started an international program in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and also taught programs in Australia, England and Ireland, among others. “The first time I met him, he told me, ‘I would love to see every student who becomes a teacher have an international experience because it will make them better teachers,” Pehrsson said.

CMED health care clinic offers Botox, cosmetic services to increase revenue By Shelby Rochowiak Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
In an effort to increase revenue, Central Michigan University Health is offering Botox and cosmetic services. Melissa White, a physician assistant, is offering Botox, fillers, permanent makeup, nova threads, PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) and other cosmetic services at CMU Health in Mount Pleasant — part of the College of Medicine. The services are offered at the CMU Health Primary & Specialty Services clinic. White has been at CMU for the last two years and has been a practicing physician assistant (PA-C) for the past 28 years. She practiced downstate in dermatology and as an OB/ GYN for 11 years. White has been providing cosmetic services for the past 20 years — dating back to the 1990s. She recently suggested that CMU Health offer cosmetic services to the community as a way to increase revenue, since very few professionals in the area currently offer these services. People who seek out cosmetic services must travel from Mount Pleasant to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Traverse City or other places in the state to receive services. Services began in January 2018. “(Cosmetic surgery) is becoming main-
stream,” White said. “Ten years ago, Botox was not really a household word, but it certainly is now.” Some of the services offered include: • Botox: Treatment for wrinkles MELISSA WHITE caused by muscle movement. • Dermal Fillers: Used to fill in deeper wrinkles and scars, or enhances lips, cheeks etc. • Platelet Rich Plasma: Injection that helps scarring and keloids. PRP is used to improve tone and texture to the skin. It can also be used to promote hair regrowth. • Permanent Makeup: Used to mimic eyebrow hairs, eyeliner and lipliner. White also provides areola tattooing for breast cancer patients. CMU Health offers these new cosmetic services one Friday a month. If demand for the new services increases, it will consider accepting appointments for multiple days monthly. Those interested in learning more about the cosmetic services offered or wish to schedule a consultation with White can contact CMU Health at (989) 774-7585.
Former Central Michigan University instructor Stuart Black has announced his intention to run for Isabella County probate judge. Black, who has been the senior assistant prosecutor for Isabella County for 10 years, announced his candidacy on Feb. 20 in a press release. According to the release, Black is focusing on mental health in his run for probate judge. "His candidacy is based on his commitment to serve as an advocate for children, families and individuals with mental health needs,” the release stated. A top priority for Black is to create a Mental Health Court in Isabella County, according to the release. "A Mental Health Court would contribute to fewer repeat offenders and, in the long
run, would save the county money," the release stated. "Black has already taken steps to initiate a plan for a Mental Health Court based on models of other counties in Michigan." Black graduated from University of Toronto in 1999 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and graduated from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2006. He has taught classes at Central Michigan University, including regulatory law and legal environment business of law. Black is married to Carlin Borsheim-Black, an English Language and Literature faculty member at CMU. They have two sons, Marcus and Miles. -Emma Dale, Community Editor

WE DESERVE TRANSPARENCY PICKING THE NEXT PRESIDENT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO EVERYONE AT CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
A
Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor President George Ross answers a question directed toward him at the Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 15 in the President’s Conference Room.
s Central Michigan University begins the task of finding its next president it’s clear that most of us won’t get to be a part of it. Of the 13 people responsible for input in the presidential search, one of them is a student and none are fixed-term faculty members. A number of trustees, wealthy alumni and an administrator who will work for this person will play the largest role in choosing our next president. Search Committee Chair and trustee Tricia Keith said it clearly at last week’s meeting: the process would be “confidential.” “The process — including the names of finalists — will be confidential, as has been the protocol during the past several CMU presidential searches,” a University Communications press released stated. “Search firms advise confidentiality in order to attract the best possible candidates, Keith said.” Transparency should be the foundation of the search process. Shutting students, faculty and staff out of the process is a mistake. It will foster a culture of suspicion and university administrators and trustees will be the recipients of that anger and mistrust. Tuition dollars fuel this university. State appropriations are only a fraction of how the university is funded today. The successor to George Ross will be responsible for establishing tuition rates and deciding how those dollars are spent. We are not suggesting that every student should get a vote on who will become the next president, but we expect to have a front-row seat to watch the process unfold. Trustees, here is what students, faculty and staff want from your search process: • We should be able to know who did, and didn’t, advance in the selection process. Typically, three or four finalists are announced near the end of a search. That’s it. We don’t think that’s enough. At the end of the process we want to know how many applicants were considered. We want to know how, and why, they are eliminated. We want to have access to their applications. If CMU graduates leaders – students and staff – we want to know if there are internal candidates and how far they advance. • If a candidate wants his or her name withheld during the search, immediately disqualify them. We’ve often been told, by university and City of Mount Pleasant officials, that if candidates are identified during a search they would opt out and the search would be worse for it. These candidates want to be able to privately, quietly search for a new job without their employers or employees learning about it. This is laughable. If you want to be the next president of CMU – put your “stamp” on it.
A university president shouldn’t shy away from scrutiny — they should prepare for it. By not even wanting to put the most basic information out there — name, job history, tenure in academics — it’s already setting a poor precedent. Do we really want candidates who don’t have the courage to let their employers know they are looking for a job? And honestly, do we believe someone would apply for this position and expect to advance in the search but wouldn’t give their current employer a heads-up before becoming a finalist? CMU has shown through past searches it isn’t concerned with outside perspectives. Take the most recent hire of Athletics Director Michael Alford. The closed AD search was done during the summer and no opportunity was given to media to speak with the candidates. There was not a meet-and-greet session for students and staff, either. We, students and taxpayers, deserve better than that. • The search firm you hire is working for CMU, not just your search committee. We sometimes hear from administrators that some university practices, like searches, could be improved if they were “run like a business.” Search firms are just that – professional organizations tasked with getting qualified people to apply for a job and then creating a process for candidates to be evaluated. Once the job is done, they are gone. Any damage or controversy the firm causes remains. We’re not a business. We’re a university. We’re students whose educational careers hinge on the choices made by trustees and administrators. Our university also includes staff and faculty – many of whom came here because they believe in our educational mission and need support to deliver on that promise. We are also a community of alumni and Mount Pleasant neighbors and business owners who want to see CMU maintain its stature in Michigan and beyond. We expect that members of the search committee will act with all of our best interests at heart. We know they want the best for CMU. So don’t be afraid to give all of us a window into the entire process, even if your search firm advises you against it. We deserve full insight into your selection process. You’ve got a tough job to do. We wish you the best of luck. Don’t start this process by giving us a reason not to trust you.

‘Black Panther’ soundtrack a perfect mix for a perfect film I have always wanted more mainstream movies to use hip hop to convey a story — “Black Panther” finally did it. The accompanying album by Kendrick Lamar cemented the possibilities that could be realized by writing an album for and inspired by the movie with obvious passion behind both. While I listened to the album on repeat before the movie, nothing could have prepared me for the onslaught of audio and visual spectacles featured in the film. Throughout the film, some use of Lamar’s soundtrack is subtle. The movie sprinkles in parts of the album first in small doses. As the main character of the film, T’Challa’s flying ship can be heard playing trap beats as it soars through the air. Later, as a ship glides into the air the production behind “Big Shot” with Lamar and Travis Scott hums through. Perhaps these scenes were so powerful to me because that’s exactly what I would be doing if I had a Vibranium flying ship: blasting my favorite beats. The potential of the music really comes

into play when the main characters step into a Casino in Busan, South Korea. The film brings in the thumping house beat from “Pray for Me” by Lamar and The Weeknd. By the time The Weeknd starts singing, the characters are in full conflict. As the fight starts, so does the song: I’m always ready for a war again Go down that road again It’s all the same I’m always ready to take a life again. Putting The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar right beside the main characters left a smile glued to my face. Black Panther getting thrown around synced up perfectly and complemented the subject matter portrayed in the song. Mass destruction and mass corruption The souls of sufferin’ men
Clutchin’ on deaf ears again, rapture is comin’ It’s all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good Then that’s what it gotta be. This section of the film is relentless in introducing hip hop to the story telling of the film. Next, “Opps” charged into the focus of the film as a car scene unfolded on screen. As tires squealed on black top so, too did Vince Staples’ raw vocals — only relenting to the noise of Black Panther’s claws sparking on the ground. Hey, hey — ready, set, go crazy Here to finesse, you see I’m getting mines A life hit a n**** with a lemon’s limelight. Lamar’s catchy chorus accentuates this subject matter: Opps on the radar (You’re dead to me) How you wanna play ball? (You’re dead to me) –takes all (You’re dead to me). I have watched this scene dozens of times and I still can’t wipe the grin off my face. Lamar next brought in Future and James
Blake for his track about Killmonger, Black Panther’s villain. The effort gave background to the angry, unstable character with a song highlighting those same traits and motivations. The accents go the other way of course. The influences of the film on the album are clear. Between Lamar’s usual dense verses and the sampling of the film’s drums, chants, subject matter and characters, the influence is genuine. The presence of the two works of art not only complement each other, they show a mutual appreciation between all artists involved. Director Ryan Coogler and Lamar were passionate about making their projects complementary, and it shows — both projects are better because the other exists. For me, this was perfect. My love of hip hop and its culture allowed me understand Black Panther through a focused viewpoint. These star studded, feature packed tracks and this film are going to stick with me because they did something daring and unique. I hope more movies follow suit.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We need to work to eliminate the racial divide on campus TO THE EDITOR: Every year, Central Michigan University’s residential halls are filled with hundreds of new faces. For many students, moving onto campus has been a big change. Moving into a new environment with people you’ve never met is equivalent to walking on eggshells 24/7. Over the past few months, I have learned a lot about people. One thing is not everyone has had the same experiences I have had, resulting in a different set of behaviors and solution solving tactics. That being said, CMU has done well highlighting and celebrating the differences that people have. However, when it comes to living with these differences, things start to get sticky — especially when ethnicity is involved. Since I’ve been on campus I have been
stared at like a zoo animal and ridiculed for my behaviors and beliefs. I have even been told by fellow students “we’d rather work alone than with people of your kind,” in one of my classes. As a minority and a first-generation student, I knew coming to college would be tough, but I was not prepared for the level of ignorance that still exists in the world. This isn’t just one-sided though. There are many students on campus who have never had an encounter with anyone outside of their ethnicity, resulting in very unsettling interactions. These firsthand experiences have shown me there is a wide range of ignorance and privilege among my peers. It has also opened my eyes to the fact that there are very little tough conversations occurring on campus:

conversations about ethnicities and about how to co-exist with one another without constantly walking on eggshells. There needs to be an understanding between the people — a unity. Before school started, Impact and Leadership Safari did well at breaking the ice and motivating students. These organizations inspire tough conversations and encourage students to step out of their comfort zones. There needs to be more of that during the year. There needs to be an environment that encourages students to have these discussions all year because not everyone attends these programs. These programs mainly benefit those who participate in them, leaving the majority of the incoming class oblivious to possible interactions.
This week, listen to staff reporter Mitchell Vosburg on “Behind the Game Face,” a show dedicated to interviewing student athletes around the university to learn what
This could be solved by simply requiring students to attend at least one multicultural event a month. For some, it is required they attend several events to keep their scholarship, so why not require students to attend at least one. There could also be more than one Multicultural Advisor for each hall. For example, Wheeler hall has approximately 270 residents and only one MA. If there were three Multicultural Advisors for each hall, issues could be addressed in a more efficient manner. I hope this letter will help motivate the CMU staff to make an effort to better campus for all. RAQUEL MANCE Pontiac, freshman

Open Mic Night creates platform for students to share talents By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
Program Board aspires to provide a stage for student musicians, dancers and poets — and they plan on doing that through Open Mic Night. On Feb. 19, Program Board hosted its first ever Open Mic event in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. Program Board Concert Director Grace Pawluszka said the event aimed to showcase the potential of the "untapped" Mount Pleasant entertainment scene. Haruki Hakoyama of local soulpop group the Paddlebots, showcased several student performers — including acoustic guitarists, singers, poets and a hip-hop dance group. Chesterfield freshman Brennen Malaga said he came to the event looking forward to experiencing his first ever open mic event. "It's really important people come out to events like these, because you really do get exposed to new things and a huge diversity of art," Malaga said, adding that Program Board's efforts captured the variety of poetry and music he never noticed at Central Michigan University. Walled Lake sophomore Claire Murphy said she felt the open mic setting Program Board provided was very calm and respectful. Murphy said she dived into creating her own music once arriving at CMU in Fall 2016. She performs original songs on a variety of instruments, but specifically used Monday's event to showcase her acoustic guitar skills and vocals with her own songs. "I really try to find any opportunity on campus I can to get out there and sing and share (my art) with everyone," Murphy said, explaining how her academic schedule leaves her looking for performance outlets outside the classroom environment. She said the event opened her eyes to the different tastes and talents alive on campus. Mount Pleasant junior Gilbert Melvin-Zenon, manager of hip-

hop and R&B collective Abstract Generation, said events like Program Board's open mic are important to performers. "There are a lot of people who don't get to express their talent or don't have a platform to express their talent, so it's hard for people," he said. "I know there's a lot of talented people, but they don't know where to connect or find people to help them perform." Melvin-Zenon said the event was a step in the right direction to bring the Mount Pleasant art community closer together. "There's a lot of people that need to work together to make it bigger," he said. "I think if everyone worked together as the entertainment community in Mount Pleasant it (could create something) really nice. Mount Pleasant needs to be on the map (for art and music) too."

Soul Sista’s deals with financial stress of opening new restaurant By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
The third time just might be the charm for local soul-food takeout restaurant Soul Sista's, which is set to open Feb. 23. For owner Vanessa Spratt, a physical location is the next step in a business plan that began as a food truck. After financial issues, the opening of the restaurant has been delayed. Soul Sista’s closed Jan. 28, while Spratt waited to obtain a permanent license and the go-ahead from the health department. Spratt announced on Facebook that Soul Sista’s would open again on Feb. 21, but an unexpected trip to the hospital for Spratt set the grand opening back to Feb. 23. The restaurant, located at 1010 W. Broadway St., which formerly belonged to "Broadway Bistro," was open for two weeks in January under a temporary license in efforts to raise money for the overhead costs of opening the business.
The restaurant is scheduled to be open Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. It will be closed 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. to prepare food for dinner. Once open, Spratt said she is unsure of their regular weekly hours. She has been trying to rest after being in the hospital. Together, Spratt and her husband Antonio, opened "Soul Sista’s," serving soul food, such as what they would consider “real” fried chicken and smothered pork chops. They are the only two employees. “This has always been a passion of mine,” Vanessa said. “And when I married my husband, he was behind me 100 percent.” Visitors to the takeout restaurant will notice the sign outside still reads “Broadway Bistro." Vanessa said they haven't been able to find someone with a ladder to take it down. They keep a "Soul Sista's" banner inside, but don't yet have a sign made for the outside. Getting the business running has been a challenging endeavor for the Spratts. They have run into obstacles such as money and paperwork — all

the way down to the ingredients they need to cook. They have had a hard time finding “southern” ingredients for their meals in Mount Pleasant, Vanessa said. From lima beans and black-eyed peas to proper seasonings, they are having to travel themselves or communicate with friends to get ingredients from Detroit. “We can find (the ingredients) but we have to drive two (or) three hours

to get it,” Antonio said. “That’s too far.” They have found the Walmart downstate carries more of the ingredients they are looking for, compared to the Mount Pleasant store. As a result, the menu isn’t set in stone. But for them, the menu is only a general guideline. “We have customers that ask for particular meals," Vanessa said. "I have no problem making those, but its (ingredients) aren't out here at the grocery shop."
A grand opening menu was chosen from a customer, Ellen Polzien, and posted to the restaurant's Facebook page for a contest. They would like to see the chosen menu that features chicken, pork chops, butter beans and macaroni and cheese used at least once a week, Vanessa said. The Spratts made it clear they are not running the business to “get rich." They are interested in creating a personal experience where students and community members can enjoy home-cooked meals they may not otherwise be getting. “It’s not just a business relationship,” Antonio said. “We want to have a personal and spiritual relationship with anybody who comes through here.” From students who can’t travel home to disabled and homeless people who can’t afford to cook their own meals, the Spratts hope to build a relationship with their the community through food. “Put love into your food, and your food will put love into you,” Antonio said. Currently, Soul Sista’s is only accepting cash or money through the Cash App, for smartphones.

Program builds language skills for international students By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
A new program aims to introduce international students to American culture and improve their talent with the English language. The Global Ambassador program began in Spring 2018 as part of the Office of International Affairs. It is overseen by International Student Advisor Megan Hofer and graduate assistant Habeebat Diaw. Diaw herself is an international student from Senegal. The program has recruited 31 international students from 14 countries, including: • India • Democratic Republic of the Congo • Saudi Arabia • El Salvador • Nigeria • Bangladesh • Japan • China • Mexico • Senegal • Lebanon • Hong Kong • Nepal • New Zealand “We think it’s a good platform for international students to share their perspectives about their own countries general multicultural issues," Diaw said. Hofer and Diaw started the program to bring international students at CMU together and help them refine their presentation and public speaking skills. Students will then use these skills to speak at events such as panels and presentations on campus about their experiences and cultures. The two hope these events will provide outlets for the students to share their cultures with other people and ambassadors. One student who is thrilled to be a part of this program is Bangladeshi graduate student Shuvo Kundu. His complicated path to CMU began in 2015, when he began attending University of Tampa. The concern he had with attending an American school was the ever-present language-barrier. While he did say kids in Bangladesh are required to learn English as early as kindergarten, it was still difficult for him to transition. “We just learn how to write and how to read English,” Kundu said. “We don’t learn how to listen, how to understand and how to speak English.” Kundu lived in off-campus housing, which became a problem — all the off-campus hous-

ing was 15 to 20 miles from the university. This created another issue for Kundu: he had to learn how to drive. Kundu was never able to get a car at home. He said the currency in Bangladesh is so weak, many people can’t afford a car. He had to get his first car and driver’s license while still trying to attend school. Because of these difficulties, he transferred to ASA College in New York, since he had an aunt who lived nearby and could use public transportation. There, he had to face another new aspect of America — snow. While Kundu had seen snow on TV before, he had never seen it in person. He also never had to experience cold winters before from his usually warm home country. In Spring 2016, Kundu transferred to CMU after encouragement from friends already attending the university. While Kundu has been going to American schools for some time now, he has not lost any love for his home country. His face lights up every time he talks about his culture, which he
hopes to share with others. “I’m part of a program that will help me spread my culture and message to everyone,” Kundu said. “I feel proud of it, so it’s a good feeling.” Another student in the program is second year graduate student Naoki Kimura, from Japan. Kimura loves to share culture, specifically food culture as an admitted food-lover. “I really enjoy making friends,” Kimura said. "It’s a great opportunity for me to see new people and socialize.” Both Kimura and Kundu recommend the program for any new international students who have just arrived at CMU. They said it’s a great place for any international student to feel like they are a part of something, it helps new students get adjusted to an American university and brings a diverse group of cultures together. The ambassadors noted the program will improve participants’ presentation skills, and also give them something to add to their resume. These are the two major reasons why junior Yingshi Chen decided to join the program. Chen is a foreign exchange student from
China and is planning on getting a major in English. She said the program will help her with her English skills. "I want my English to (sound) more native," Chen said. The program has only had a few events so far — one of them being a training session in the Presentation Skills Center. The plan for the future is to host events in the Mount Pleasant community. This semester, they are simply testing out the program and seeing what may need to be changed. “We hope (the ambassadors) are able to educate and bring cultural awareness to classes on campus, to registered student organizations on campus, as well as people within the community,” Hofer said. “I think people are always curious about other cultures, and hopefully this will give them the opportunity to learn.” Hofer and Diaw both said if this semester goes well, they are hoping to expand their reach outside of the Mount Pleasant area in hopes of teaching as many people about international culture as they can.

Dreamer Coffee Shop shuts down despite fundraiser By Avery Jennings Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
After raising $2,347 on Jan. 19 to help keep The Dreamer Coffee Shop open, the business announced it would temporarily close its doors due to a lack of finances. At 4:14 p.m. Feb. 17, The Dreamer posted on its Twitter page announcing its permanent closure. "I feel obligated to let you all of you know, the Dreamer Coffee Shop is (permanently) closed," the tweet read. "Our baristas tried everything in their power to keep it open, but nothing was strong enough. We love you all and appreciate everyone who helped the fight. Keep your dreams soaring high." The tweet was deleted shortly afterward, and another tweet was posted at 4:57 p.m. reading, "The Dreamer Coffee Shop is temporarily closed until further notice. Sorry for any inconvenience." Sophomore Evan Jordan said staff at The Dreamer did everything they could to keep the shop open.

The Dreamer Coffee Shop on Jan. 16 at 1027 S Franklin St.
“We gave our blood, sweat and tears at the very end,” Jordan said. “(Another staff member and I) weren’t getting paid — we’d come in early, we’d
come in when we weren’t working, we did what we could to keep the shop open as long as possible.” Jordan was let go on Feb. 13. General manager
Allie Carpenter and staff member Lauren Bindschatel were going to keep the shop operating, but it was closed for the next three days after. This led to The Dreamer tweeting the coffee shop would be closing permanently, Jordan said. Financial problems began at the coffee shop in July 2017 when owner Ike Han left for China after his student visa expired. Management was given the difficult task of keeping the business running. “We were handed a situation that was already struggling,” Carpenter told Central Michigan Life on Jan. 16. “We had to learn how to run the business without knowing what to do, or what bills we were behind on.” Han has infrequently contacted the coffee shop since he left for China. Carpenter is unsure of what will happen to The Dreamer next. “I don't know a definitive direction to where things are going with the shop, so I can't give you any information,” Carpenter said. “The only person who works for the shop currently is Ike Han."

Effort helps Frost and Moore excel as rebounders By Andrew Glezen Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Reyna Frost and Tinara Moore lead one of the best rebounding teams in the Mid-American Conference. Women’s basketball leads the MAC in rebounding margin at +7.2 and rank No.
Tinara Moore Forward
4 in offensive rebounds per game (13.5) and defensive rebounds per game (28.1). CMU’s top rebounders are forwards Reyna Frost and Tinara Moore. Frost leads the MAC and is ninth in the NCAA averaging 12 rebounds per game. Moore is third in the MAC averaging 9.4 rebounds per game. Head coach Sue Guevara said both players understand the importance of rebounding. She tells them to go after the ball like it’s a $100 bill. “Rebounding is a lot of heart and going to work,” Guevara said. “It’s about persistence and determination.” Frost, a 5-foot-10 junior from Reese, has been near the top of the country in rebounds all season. Her success has led to
nicknames such as “Rey-bound” or “Rebound Reyna.” She credits her determination for her success on the boards. “Having the mindset to go after the ball is important,” Frost said. “Being able to understand where the ball is going to go helps too.” In addition to leading the MAC in overall rebounds per game, Frost leads the conference in offensive rebounds per game (5) and defensive rebounds per game (7.1). Frost attributed her ability to play efficiently alongside Moore to their individual efforts. “Both of us are hard workers and we both crash the boards hard,” Frost said. “We try to help our teammates because we know how important it is to get more rebounds.” Moore, a 6-foot-3 senior from Southgate, is seventh in the MAC in offensive rebounds per game (2.7) and fourth in defensive

rebounds per game (6.8). She agreed that effort allowed her and Frost to have rebounding success. “We’re really aggressive, we go after both offensive and defensive boards,” Moore said. “We have a big focus on those.” Frost and Moore have led the Chippewas to a 21-4 record with only one loss in Mid-American Conference play. Using their dominance on the boards, the Chippewas can secure the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament by winning their last three games this season.

BASEBALL PICKED TO FINISH NO. 2 IN CONFERENCE COACHES’ PRESEASON POLL In the Mid-American Conference coaches’ poll, the Chippewa baseball team was selected to finish second in the league. Kent State was picked to win the MAC with 98 points. CMU, which won the MAC West Division in the 2017 season, was second with 86 points. Three teams receiving a vote to finish at the top were Kent State with eight votes, Miami (Ohio) with one vote and Northern Illinois with one vote. In order, the preseason poll lists Kent State (98), Central Michigan (86), Ball State (73), Ohio (70), Miami (49), Western Michigan (47), Eastern Michigan (40), Toledo (36), Northern Illinois (35) and Bowling Green (10). With 10 teams in the league, there will not be an East Division and West Division.
All starting pitchers from the 2017 season have returned for 2018. Michael Brettell, Pat Leatherman and Tyler Hankins are the top three pitchers, with Zach Kohn as the fourth starter. Dazon Cole has moved to the bullpen, and closer Colton Bradley is returning for his senior season. Brettell was named Co-MAC Pitcher of the Week after his career-high 10 strikeouts in a 5-3 victory over Stephen F. Austin Feb. 16. The Chippewas have a 2-2 overall record this season. They continue nonconference play with four games against New Mexico this weekend, starting at 8 p.m. on Feb. 22. -Evan Petzold,

Western Michigan outlasts men’s basketball in overtime, 83-81 By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
After taking its first lead 33 minutes into the game, Central Michigan men’s basketball forced overtime in a 83-81 loss to Western Michigan in Kalamazoo. The Chippewas (16-12, 5-10 Mid-American Conference) fell to WMU (16-12, 8-7 MAC) on Feb. 20 at University Arena. “Western Michigan circles this game and talks about it all year,” said CMU head coach Keno Davis. The Chippewas jumped out to a 5-0 lead, but the Broncos responded with a 17-2 run. “It’s Central (versus) Western,” said WMU head coach Steve Hawkins. “Central was at its best tonight.” CMU guard Shawn Roundtree scored an up-andunder layup to cut the deficit to four points with 6:52 remaining.
“Tonight, we just fell short,” Roundtree said. Sophomore forward David DiLeo knocked down three of his first six 3-pointers to help push CMU within two points at the 4:47 mark in the first half. WMU senior guard Thomas Wilder buried a mid-range jumper moments later in response to DiLeo’s triple — giving WMU a 33-29 edge. In the final minutes of the first half, WMU scored four-straight points to push CMU’s deficit to 39-33 at the break in Kalamazoo. With 11:24 remaining, DiLeo cashed in on a jumper from the free-throw-line — trimming CMU’s deficit to one point. With 7:59 to go, CMU forward Cecil Williams dished the ball to the 3-point line for DiLeo, who knocked it down to close the gap to one point. The Broncos held the lead for more than 33 minutes, but Roundtree tied the game, 65-65,

with two free throws with 2:27 left in the rivalry matchup. “(Coming back) shows we are resilient,” Roundtree said. “We have to remember to play like that the whole game.” WMU’s late lead was snapped
as Kevin McKay drove the lane and drew a foul with 6.3 seconds left. The sophomore guard knocked down both free throws, sending the game to overtime in a 69-69 tie. Wilder buried the first shot
of overtime to give WMU a 71-69 edge over the Chippewas. He later pushed the margin to four points with free throws. He finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. “(Wilder’s) a smart player,”
Roundtree said. “He did a great job of leading his team to victory and making plays.” Just as momentum turned the Broncos, DiLeo cut WMU’s edge to one point, 73-72, on a triple from the right side with 3:36 to go in overtime. CMU’s next offensive possession resulted in a slam dunk by McKay, taking the lead. Following a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Reggie Jones to give WMU the lead, CMU took it back, 81-80, on a layup by CMU senior forward Luke Meyer with 29 seconds left. Down 83-81 after a 3-pointer, McKay drove to the basket in the final seconds and missed to give the Broncos the win. “You have to be able to finish that play even though you’re getting the contact,” Davis said. McKay led the Chippewas with a double-double, logging 18 points and 11 rebounds. “This group gave it everything they had,” Davis said.
Senior McCarty looks beyond basketball to become surgeon By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
The ball will stop bouncing for Central Michigan senior forward John McCarty after the 2017-18 season. McCarty, however, is taking a shot at a new challenge. He will attend Yale for a graduate degree in August. He wants to work in trauma, emergency rooms or a type of surgery. “I don’t think professional basketball is on my horizon,” McCarty said. Since he was young, McCarty always performed well on the court, but also well in the classroom. As a student at Lake Orion High School, McCarty earned all A’s, along with taking AP and college courses early. “My parents instilled in me at
JOHN MCCARTY “I try to motivate the guys on the team to do their best in the classroom because one day the ball stops bouncing but you have your brain forever.”
an early age that I can go anywhere with my grades,” McCarty said. “I’ve taken that to heart and that’s helped me get through these college years.” The 6-foot-5, 205-pound sharpshooter has played in 17
games during his career, but serves as a motivator for others in the classroom. “I try to motivate the guys on the team to do their best in the classroom because one day the ball stops bouncing but you have your brain forever,” McCarty said. McCarty has a 4.0 GPA as a biology/biomedical science major. “(Central Michigan has) really helped me mature into an adult,” McCarty said. “A lot of professors I’ve met have really helped instill characteristics in me that I hope to carry for the rest of my life.” Head coach Keno Davis, while he realizes his senior forward pushes others to work hard in class, sees McCarty as a motivator on the bench. “It helps us because he’s very basketball smart,” Davis said. “For him, he helps in practice being on
the practice squad and simulates what others are going to do. He’s really like a coach on the court.” McCarty hopes others can fill his role next season. “I’m hoping (sophomore forward) Austin Ervin and (freshman guard) Adam Kozinski can step up
Tuesdays
and help the new guys next year to get accustomed to the culture, the way we do things here and the speed of the game,” McCarty said. In Davis’ mind, he has some ideas on who could take over McCarty’s role in the 2018-19 season but does not want to speak
ARE NOW
too soon. “I’ve got some thoughts about who can be the next Chris Fowler, Rayshawn Simmons or John McCarty, but I want to get into the summer and see if (the players could) naturally take those positions,” Davis said.
