NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

SPEAKER TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO ‘TURN DISABILITIES TO ABILITIES’ FEB. 6 Motivational speaker Bill Deering will discuss how he overcame challenges rooted in his severe stuttering problem and growing up overweight at a Program Board event at 7 p.m. Feb. 6 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. According to Program Board, Deering hopes to encourage students’ to acknowledge their own potential and to pursue “living a life they love.” Lecture director and Mount Pleasant senior Elizabeth Hernandez said she was introduced via email to Deering and his mission in December. “He said he would love to come to (Central Michigan University) and share his story with our student body, and hopefully help give a new outlook to students on living with disabilities,” she said. Hernandez said her biggest goal as the lecture director was to make students aware of issues that impact large

populations of people. The speaker event will be accompanied by the David Garcia Project (DGP) to continue the conversation on experiencing college with a disability. The DGP is a learning and advocacy program facilitated through the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. It aims to perform simulations to help students and community members better understand people who suffer from disabilities like deafness and hearing loss, arthritis, learning disabilities and more. “I’ve notice that at Central we don’t really get a lot of speakers who actually have disabilities of their own and are so open about them,” Hernandez said. “(Deering) really capitalizes how although he has this major obstacle, he still works hard to get what he wants.” -Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter

FOUNDERS DAY EVENTS TO SHOWCASE HISTORY OF ISABELLA COUNTY FEB. 10 Isabella County will celebrate 159 years of its history with Founders Day from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at First United Methodist Church, 400 S. Main St. The event is sponsored by the Central Michigan University Clarke Historical Library and the Museum of Cultural and Natural History. Founders Day will begin at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast from Chris Cakes. Tickets are $6 at the door. Children age 4 and younger will eat for free. Historical displays and the quilt show will be up for viewing until 12:30 p.m. According to the event page on Facebook, there will also be crafts until noon that include designing a paper

quilt, deciding what someone would bring as an early Michigan settler and learning about lumbering. Valerie Wolters, a member of the church who is helping coordinate the event, said she appreciates those who helped build the community. The first Mount Pleasant settlers built shelter around where Charles V. Park Library stands today, Wolters said. Guest speakers will be in coordination with this year’s theme — “centennial farms.” Descendants from Mount Pleasant’s farming community will speak about their ancestors who owned local farms more than 100 years ago, Wolters said. The John Cumming Historical Preservation Award

will be given to two people who have showed dedication to preserving the history of Isabella County, Wolters said. The winners, who have been nominated and voted on by the Clarke Library, will be announced during the awards ceremony, which begins at noon. Wolters encouraged students and community members to attend the events to learn about the history of Isabella County, including how Mount Pleasant got its name, how the community acquired Nelson Park and what type of goods were produced during the Industrial Revolution. -Kersten Kruse Staff Reporter

KEEP YOUR MIND IN MIND

Winter might be the worst season for mental health — here's how to help yourself Winter is the worst time for mental health. When the sun sometimes doesn’t shine for days and the cold winter winds can make you want to stay in your bed all day, we are at our most susceptible for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or seasonal depression. It affects roughly 5 percent of the population. That number only goes up the further north you go, according to a

report by USA Today about seasonal depression on college campuses. If you take a look outside right now, it’s not hard to see why. SAD affects your motivation — tasks that once came to you effortlessly might seem like a struggle. It affects your appetite, making you want to overload on carbohydrates that could affect weight gain. Worst of all, SAD can make you want to isolate yourself and avoid seeking help. If this is you, know there are resources

EDITORIAL on campus to help. The CMU Counseling Center is available on-campus for students in Foust Hall and is open Monday through Friday. You can make an appointment by calling 989-774-3381, or let them know

if you need to been seen immediately — they will make room for you. If you fear you need immediate counseling help, Listening Ear operates 24-hours a day and can be reached at 989-772-2918. For students with disabilities — hard of hearing, muteness or other auditory or verbal communication issues — the national Crisis Text Line is also available 24/7 by texting START to 741-741. It can be hard to make that initial

contact. But when in the grips of SAD, you’re not thinking clearly and you can convince yourself nothing will get better. But it will. We want to make 2018 a year where each CMU student knows they are valued and wanted on campus. We want to make it to the end of this year with the same number of students as who started it. The first step is asking for help. Make the call.

After Nassar trial, journalism is more important now than ever On Jan. 24 Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexually assaulting more than 250 women during his tenure, disguising it as treatment. These brave women who testified against him started as just one voice — Rachael Denhollander’s. She came forward in 2016 after The Indianapolis Star published a story on how USA Gymnastics had ignored sexual assault claims. Denhollander’s story led to a domino effect of survivors coming forward. If light was not shed on that story by reporters, these women might have never gone public with their claims. Nassar could have still been practicing medicine today. Because of a story, Nassar’s grotesque actions were unveiled and the people who let it happen are being held accountable.

Emma Dale

Community Editor

Because of journalism, the truth was set free. The reason the rest of the world heard survivors stories and testimony over the week of Nassar’s case was because of journalism. In an era of “fake news” and an administration constantly encouraging its citizens to distrust the media, think twice. Journalism is a record of history in the making. Journalism changes lives and changes the world. The examples are endless. Just recently the world saw the backstory of a newspa-

per risking it all to unleash the lies told about the Vietnam War to the American public in the film “The Post.” The film depicts journalists at The Washington Post, who were threatened to be sued should they release the now famed Pentagon Papers. They ran the story anyways because the public needed to know. It’s not a one time deal. In 2002, reporters on the Spotlight team at The Boston Globe uncovered a history of sexual abuse in Roman Catholic churches. They shed light on an issue ignored for decades with their reporting despite living in a community essentially ran by the church. The work these reporters — these newspapers — change the world we live in as we know it. The reporters at the New York Times and The Washington Post recently re-

vealed multiple of Hollywood’s biggest stars stand accused of being perpetrators of sexual harassment and assault — beginning a revolution in society. If it wasn’t for the work of journalists, we wouldn’t know what the truth was. We wouldn’t know what we are supposed to know. Our leaders in office, no matter the level or position, would not be held accountable. When identifying the media with claims of bias, inaccuracy or having an agenda, remember the platforms that are accurate — the ones that are in search of the truth. Don’t let the few outliers make you forget the importance of news organizations. Think about the work that changed the society you grew up in — the work that will protect you in years to come. The work that will protect you from ever coming into contact with predators like Nassar.

Don’t let the bystander effect keep you from doing the right thing When the news first came out about Larry Nassar, like anyone with a conscience, I was horrified. As news continued to pour out about the situation, I became even more horrified at how many times it could have been stopped but wasn’t — how many could have been saved from such trauma. It’s easy to look at someone like Nassar and say he’s evil because most people will never come close to doing something so unspeakably vile. However, many of us at some point have seen something unjust and wondered if we should do something, only to take the convenient route and turn away. Around campus, I’ve seen signs advocating for sexual assault awareness that read, “I wish I had said something.” As the horrible saga of Nassar unfolds, I'm sure people are saying the same thing. On a national level, the story shows the dire consequences of inaction. This inaction can especially become a problem in situations with many people, such as large college parties. In such situations, there is often the social

Rob Linsley Columnist

psychological phenomenon known as the "bystander effect." When more people are present, we feel less responsible and assume someone else will do something. But others taking action is not guaranteed. You can only know if you will take action. In the final testimony of the Nassar trial on Jan. 24, survivor Rachael Denhollander spoke to the importance of this collective responsibility. “May the horror expressed in this courtroom over the last seven days be motivation for anyone and everyone no matter the context to take responsibility if they have failed in protecting a child, to understand the incredible failures that led to this week, and to do it better the next time,” Denhollander said. Don’t be a bystander. If you hear someone victim-blame, stand up for the

survivors who might not feel ready to stand up for themselves. If you see someone ready to exploit someone too drunk to consent, don’t just let it happen. If you hear an allegation against someone you know, take it seriously — even someone as monstrous as Nassar was capable of deceiving others into thinking he was in the right. Don’t think “it was none of my business.” Martin Luther King Jr. was once quoted as saying: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." The American culture of hyperindividualism can have devastating consequences. Sexual violence is all of our business. Consider this: 33 percent of female rape victims consider suicide and 13 percent attempt suicide, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. We cannot stand by when the stakes are so high. We cannot pretend others’ abuse, sexual or otherwise, is none of our business.

Davison discusses initial organizational review recommendations By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter

“The committees have always thought, first and foremost, about the best interest of the students.”

news@cm-life.com

Renaming an academic college and deconstructing a department are part of the preliminary recommendations for Central Michigan University's Academic Organizational Review. The academic reorganization initiative completed its first review phase Jan. 29 with the public release of preliminary recommendations from the provost and three committees, which include academic structure, academic support and responsibility centered management. Ian Davison, senior vice provost for academic reorganization initiative, discussed the recommendations during the Academic Senate meeting Jan. 30. Part of CMU's 2017-2022 "Advancing Excellence" strategic plan calls for a review of the organizational structure of academics and administration. “This isn’t a program review,” Davison said. “If you’re in an academic program, that program will be back in the fall. The program may be housed in a different department or college, but it isn’t going away.” The organizational review was conducted by three committees that were appointed by President George Ross. Leading the Academic Reorganization Initiative is Davison, who was appointed to his position after serving as dean of the College of Science and Engineering. Committee members were announced Oct. 11. Members gathered input via email, surveys and proposals until Nov. 17. Since then, committees have reviewed the suggestions and decided what would be most beneficial to student success. “The committees have always thought, first and foremost,

IAN DAVISON SENIOR VICE PROVOST

Ian Davison Senior vice provost for academic reorganization initiative

about the best interest of the students.” Davison said.

CENTRALIZED ADVISING Committee II, the academic support committee, reviewed academic units that directly impact students. This includes advising, recruitment and counseling. The largest change has to do with student advising. Currently, students have to only meet with an adviser three times in their academic career: • At orientation • Upon signing a major (56 credits) • During a pre-graduation audit (80 credits) Committee II recommended mandatory advising for freshmen in Fall 2019 and mandatory advising for all undergraduate students, including transfer and international students by 2020. After implementation, freshmen will be required to meet with an adviser at orientation and once per semester. All students will be required to meet with an adviser once per year after their freshman year. It was also recommended that registration be closed for students until they have met with an adviser. This will be implemented in Fall 2019. “The committee was convinced the one thing that would contribute most to student success is providing greater advising support for students and requiring it,” Davison said.

The committee suggested centralizing advising to ensure all advising is consistent for students. According to the reports, all advisers — excluding faculty — would report to an executive director of advising. Under the executive director would be a director of general advising and a college director of student services. The college director of student services will manage college advisers, residential college advisers and online advisers. The director of general advising will handle all other advisers, including transfer, honors, international, athletic and pre-major advisers, along with tutors. “Right now, some advising happens in the colleges and some happens in Enrollment and Student Services,” Davison said. “The committee believed bringing them together under a single coordinated approach would benefit students the most." The committee also called for an electronic platform for all CMU advisers to use.

COLLEGES AND DEPARTMENTS Committee I, the academic structure committee, reviewed the organization of colleges and departments. The committee recommended: College of Communication and Fine Arts • Dividing the Department of Communication and Dramatic Arts into a Department of Communication and a Department of Dance and Theatre. • Move the Department of Communication to the College of Humanities and Social and

Behavioral Sciences. • Creating a Department of Integrative Public Relations. College of Education and Human Services • Creating a School of Education that would house a Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development and a Department of Educational Leadership. • Requiring all faculty members who teach education methods courses to have a formal affiliation with the School of Education, regardless of department. Music Education is excluded. • Dividing the Department of Human Environmental Studies into three smaller, more cohesive departments: a Department of Fashion, Interiors and Design; a Department of Human Development and Family Studies; and a Department of Food and Nutrition, which would be transferred to the College of Health Professions. • Disbanding the Department of Counseling and Special Education. Counseling would join the Department of Human Development and Family Studies and Special Education would join the Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development. • Creating a Center for Administration and Leadership Studies, which would house the Master of Science in Administration and three undergraduate programs: Integrated Leadership Studies, Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Administration and Bachelor of Science in Community Development. College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences

• Changing the college's name to Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. • Considering the creation of a Department of Neuroscience for the undergraduate and graduate programs. College of Health Professions • Creating a Department of Physical Therapy. • Incorporating Gerontology faculty into the School of Health Sciences. Gerontology is currently housed in the College of Education and Human Services. • Creating and bringing in the Food and Nutrition Department from CEHS. College of Science and Engineering • Dividing the Department of Mathematics to create a Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. • Creating a Division of Engineering and Informatics, which would house the School of Engineering and Technology, the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. • Creating a Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The College of Business Administration and College of Medicine had no suggested changes.

GET INVOLVED There are several ways for the community to still get involved in the review process, Davison said. He suggested: • Completing an anonymous survey on the Academic Organizational Review webpage on the CMU website. Participants can fill out the survey as many times as they like. To increase clarity and effectiveness, participants are asked to fill out a separate survey for each proposal they provide feedback on. • Contacting Davison or any committee members by email or in person. The names of all committee members are available on the AOR webpage. • Attending feedback sessions, which will take place Feb. 7 and 8

in Bovee University Center Terrace Room A. Sessions will be limited to 24 attendees (12 faculty, six staff and six students). All interested attendees must RSVP to Christy Fultz at fultz1c@cmich.edu and indicate their top three session preferences and whether they’re are a student, staff or faculty member. Sessions will be facilitated by Carol Cartwright, former president of Kent State University and Bowling Green State University. “(Cartwright’s) job is to solicit feedback and relay that to the committee,” Davison said. “We brought in an outside person, so attendees can focus not on the recommendations.”

NEXT STEPS Committees will collect feedback from the campus community and revise their recommendations accordingly. Changes regarding colleges and departments must be voted on by all colleges and departments before implementation. Davison said departments will vote first, colleges two weeks later, and the Academic Senate will vote April 10. Changes suggested by all committees will be discussed at the board of trustees meetings in June. The board of trustees will cast the final votes before implementation. There are no recommendations regarding the Counseling Center, but the committees are open to suggestions. “We didn’t feel we were in a position to do that,” Davison said. “We will be working through the rest of the semester to get a deeper understanding of the issues students have regarding the Counseling Center. “It’s clear from what students are telling us, there are serious challenges. The committee needs a deeper understanding of what those challenges are. There’s tremendous enthusiasm from the committees to be a part of the solution.”

The following incidents were among those handled by the Central Michigan University Police Department and Mount Pleasant Police Department from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2.

FEB. 2 Mount Pleasant police were dispatched to the Country Place Apartment building located on South Crawford Road around 7:30 p.m. after reports of a domestic violence situa-

Man accuses wife of ‘bugging’ apartment, sets curtains on fire tion, said Officer Jeff Browne. An argument began after a 38-year-old man accused his 42-year-old wife of “bugging” their apartment. The argument eventually turned violent. The woman left the apartment with her sister and called police. Officers arrived to take a statement from the wife, and then from the husband, whom officers could still hear inside the apartment. When the husband answered the door, he threatened officers with a 8-10 inch kitchen knife, Browne said. The suspect then tried to set fire to his apartment by

igniting the curtains, Browne said. Officers evacuated people from the apartment building. Officers attempted to “talk the suspect out,” which was ineffective, Browne said. The husband was then subdued when officers deployed pepper spray into the apartment. The suspect was lodged in the Isabella County Jail on a charge of domestic violence, while other charges are being considered, Browne said. He is due to be arraigned Feb. 5.

FEB. 1 At some point between Jan.

27-31, a vehicle parked in Lot 53 near Saxe Hall received damage including a cracked windshield and dents to the hood from rocks that had been thrown at it. The owner of the vehicle, a 20 year-old man, believed his 20 year-old ex-girlfriend was responsible for the damage. After being questioned by CMUPD officers, the ex-girlfriend admitted throwing rocks at the vehicle, said Lt. Cameron Wassman.

JAN. 31 At 11 p.m., a 20 year-old woman in the Extended Hours Study Room of the Charles V.

Park Library went to release documents from the printer, only to discover photos taken from her personal Instagram account had been printed by another person. Library assistants said there was no way to discover what work station the pictures had printed from.

JAN. 28 Shortly after midnight, CMU police were dispatched to Carey Hall to investigate a report of the smell of marijuana. The room from which the odor was coming from was occupied by five people — two

of whom where 18 year-old women and residents of the room. In “plain view” was a plastic bag of what officers suspected was marijuana, Wassman said. The two residents where arrested. During a postarrest interview, it was determined the two women would regularly allow other people to come into their room to use marijuana. One of the suspects was charged with Violation of Controlled Substance, while the other was charged with disorderly conduct — maintaining a drug house. Both women were sent to jail.

The tire pull has participants pull large tires during the Man vs. Mountain 5K on Feb. 3 near South Harris Street.

Nearly 340 runners participated in the Man vs. Mountain 5K on Feb. 3. Participants raced through the cold air and multiple obstacles along the Chippewa River. The race started at Mount Pleasant City Hall and ended at Mountain Town Station. After crossing the finish line, participants received a beverage, a long sleeve shirt and photos from the event. Mount Pleasant senior Eva May said she enjoyed participating in this year’s race. May has lived in Mount Pleasant for the last three years with her husband and children. This was her first time participating in the race, although she walked the trail during the event last year. Obstacles included pulling tires, running through a wooded trail and army crawling. “A couple of (challenges) were tough — especially the last one (a steep angled wooden surface with a rope attached to the top) — I tried (but) I couldn’t even go to the second knot,” May said. Although the obstacles were challenging at times, May said it was an experience she would recommend to anyone. The fastest male and female participants of the 5K — Justin Fachting of Riverdale and Adri Fowler of Lake City, respectively — were awarded free registration for next year’s race, and winners of each age division received medals. Awards were also given for best costume as an individual, couple and team, respectively. Ryan Longoria, director of Recreation and Sports for the City of Mount Pleasant, said the goal of the event is to “simply break even.” Although the money does not go toward a specific charitable cause, Longoria said it allows the city to meet its financial goals and helps its ability to host future events.

Engineering professor named 2018 College Science Teacher of the Year By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Brian DeJong became the first faculty member from the School of Engineering and Technology to win College Science Teacher of the Year. The Michigan Science Teachers Association (MSTA) named DeJong its 2018 College Science Teacher of the Year. DeJong will accept the award at the MSTA Conference in March. The last professor from Central Michigan University to win this award was Geography and Environmental Studies Department Chair Mark Francek in 2016. DeJong has been teaching at CMU since 2007. He teaches the freshman-level introduction class, where students design and race cardboard boats, a sophomore-level engineering statics class and a junior-level mechatronics class, where students build small robots. DeJong was nominated by a student. DeJong also advises the year-long senior design capstone, which is meant to simulate a job. Students

have a customer for whom they must design a product or solution. This year, students are working to design a solution for Ford Motor Co. Central Michigan Life spoke with DeJong to discuss his award and his experience as a teacher.

CM Life: How will winning this award affect your teaching? DeJong: I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. I was very honored by it and very humbled by it. I am also very affirmed by it. It confirms that what I’m doing is good and effective. It’s always nice to receive recognition for the work I do. What happened when you found out you won? The (MSTA) sent the notification of the award to the department before they sent it to me. At one of our department meetings, they had a surprise cake and celebration for me. I went to the meeting and was embarrassed and surprised to find out that I got the award. We found out just before the holidays, so it took a while for the news to spread. Why did you choose engineering? Why did you decide to teach? My dad is an engineer, (so) I grew up approaching things from an engineering perspective. I also

like math and solving problems. That’s some of what engineers do. I’ve always liked teaching and explaining things. I was open to doing other things when I went to graduate school, but my main goal was always to be a professor. What is your Brian DeJong favorite course to teach? My favorite is statics. It’s the first real mechanical engineering course. In statics, we get down and dirty with theory. We take all the stuff students have learned in calculus and physics and we get to implement it. All we do in that course is solve example after example. It’s during that semester when, for most students, the lightbulb goes off. Things finally make sense and they decide to do more and think bigger. It’s where students take ownership of their engineering education and find out how useful and

fun it can be. Besides teaching, how else do you spend your time? I do research in robotics. As a mechanical engineer, I am more focused on how they move and how humans interact with them — how they control them. I’m not doing much research on the electronics or programming side. I also do research in engineering education, mainly how to better teach engineering both at the collegiate and the high school levels. There’s a strong push with the next generation science standards to teach engineering earlier. What are your favorite memories of teaching at CMU? The boat race is always a blast. Students are so gung-ho about it. Last year, in the mechatronics course, we did a demonstration with 14 groups and 14 robots. There was a lot of excitement about it. It was great to see the cool things the students did with their robots. I’ve had students, after graduating, get good jobs or get into good graduate schools and they send me thank you notes. It’s very heartwarming to know that I helped them in some way.

Best-selling conservative author draws record turnout at Battle Cry 2018 By Mitchell Kukulka Assistant Community Editor news@cm-life.com

Michigan conservatives crowded into a suite at Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort Feb. 2-3 for the two-day Battle Cry 2018 event hosted by the Michigan Conservative Coalition. Battle Cry is meant to encourage support for conservative values and act as a gathering for people in Michigan interested in conservative politics and “draining their local swamp.” Best-selling author and conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza headlined the third annual event. D’Souza has authored several books, including “What’s So Great About America” in 2002 and “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” in 2010. He has also written and

directed the documentary films “2016: Obama’s America” and “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.” At the event D’Souza promoted his latest book, “The Big

Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left.” The book examines what D’Souza calls “the big lie” that the Republican Party has historically supported racist, bigoted policies, while the Democratic Party has historically been on the side of liberation and civil rights. D’Souza argues the opposite has been true throughout U.S. history. He compared Democrats accusing Republicans of being racist to criminals accusing law enforcement of being “the bad guys.” The first night featured an appearance by Corey Lewandowski, who served as campaign manager for President Donald Trump for a portion of his 2016 presidential campaign. During his time on stage, Lewandowski gave a retrospective of his time involved with the

Trump campaign. Lewandowski also detailed how Trump’s attitude and political message gradually won him and the people of the U.S. over. “Unlike Mitt Romney and others, we didn’t hide from (Trump’s) wealth,” Lewandowski said. “We embraced it, because that’s the American Dream. What we embraced with the campaign was the wealth that Donald Trump had made — to show people that we are the greatest country in the world, and through hard work and dedication, you can have the same type of success Donald Trump has had.” After speaking, Lewandowski held a signing session for his new memoir “Let Trump Be Trump,” which details his time on the campaign trail. In addition to Lewandowski and D’Souza, the event featured

several other speakers, including: • Tom Leonard, Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives, who is currently running for Michigan Attorney General • Scott Hagerstrom, Michigan Trump campaign director • Stan Grot, Shelby Township clerk and candidate for Michigan Secretary of State • Gary Glenn, state representative and candidate for state senate • Mike Rothfeld, founder of the Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership • Grant Strobl, national chair of Young Americans for Freedom • Terry “Thayrone X” Hughes, radio DJ for Ann Arbor’s WAAM broadcast program • Bob DiBuono, comedian and Trump impersonator Linda Brandis, MCC registration coordinator, said

the turnout for the event was “excellent” and nearly twice as large as the 2017 event, which had around 200 people. Brandis credits the turnout numbers partially to 2018 being an election year, but also to general “Trump excitement.” “Grassroots (groups) are excited for where we are right now, and where Republicans are going,” Brandis said. MCC President Rosanne Ponkowski said the turnout for the event exceeded the group’s expectations. “(Battle Cry) inspires people to take an active role in their community,” Ponkowski said. “That’s what we’re here for — getting them charged up, getting them inspired to get off their butts and giving them the tools they need to get busy.”

things you do... It’s in the simple .... The way you listen .. The way you care.

IS IN THE AIR.

As soon as Central Michigan men’s basketball player David DiLeo took his first steps as a child, his parents put a tennis racquet was in his hands. The sophomore foward’s mother, Kay DiLeo, played collegiate tennis at Drake University and taught her husband, Frank DiLeo, to play when they met. David’s parents may have assumed he would be a tennis player, but he fell in love with basketball. “Once I got to college, I had to pick one and I found my love for basketball,” Davis said. Along with playing tennis, Frank gave his son experience on the basketball court immediately. Frank played under CMU head coach Keno Davis’ father, Tom Davis, from 1972-1975 at Lafayette College. David graduated in 2015 from Iowa City West High School, which is Keno’s alma mater. “I was in (Frank’s) wedding as an usher, so I had been following him for a while,” Keno said. “He played at the same high school for the same coach that I played my senior year. I knew all about him. The more we watched him, we knew he would make an immediate impact here.” A few NCAA Division III teams from Iowa showed interest in DiLeo as a tennis player. His decision to play college basketball was made by his sophomore year in high school. “Local colleges knew I wasn’t looking to play tennis,” DiLeo said. “As far as AAU basketball, I didn’t showcase my talent there much because I already made my decision that, even though I love tennis, I wanted to play

basketball in college.” Playing tennis has helped DiLeo with footwork as a 3-point shooter for the Chippewas. He averages 13 points, seven rebounds and 1.3 assists. The 6-foot-7, 216-pound forward leads CMU this season with 150 3-pointers attempted and 53 3-pointers made. “Tennis has helped my footwork in basketball because you’re constantly on your toes and don’t know where to move,” DiLeo said. “You’re really just playing off where your opponent hits the ball, so you need really good footwork.” Davis thinks hand-eye coordination is DiLeo’s best takeaway from tennis. “I’ve seen the tennis and basketball players before, I think the lateral quickness and the ability to have that motor to change direction with speed is a similarity,” Keno said. “I’ve always liked guys that have grown up playing multiple sports.” Even though Mount Pleasant is strictly basketball for DiLeo, he still follows his favorite tennis player – Roger Federer. “I’m a big fan of Federer and watch tennis in the morning all the time,” David said. “John Isner

is probably my favorite American that’s playing right now.” At Iowa City West High School, DiLeo was a tennis team captain in the 2014-15 season. His team won state titles in 2012, 2013 and 2014. DiLeo was the state singles runner-up in 2015 and the state doubles champion in 2014. In 2014-15, David was named the West High Senior Male Athlete of the Year. “(Senior guard) Josh Kozinski played (tennis) in high school, so I got him out there this past summer to play a little bit,” David said. “However, it’s pretty much basketball up here.” His next project is to get redshirt freshman Innocent Nwoko, a 6-foot-11, 232-pound center with no tennis experience, to put a racquet in his hand. “I’ve challenged him to play me in tennis and I will play him in penalty kick shootouts, so I’ll find a way to get him in soccer,” David said. “We haven’t set a date to do it, but it would be fun to play each other in our second sports.”

POSITION RATING

sports@cm-life.com

Ahead of next Wednesday's National Signing Day, Central Michigan football already has 17 players in its 2018 freshman class. In the early signing period from Dec. 20-22, high school players were able to sign early with their respective colleges. Instead of waiting until Feb. 7, athletes were granted the ability to lock in their spots during the three-day window. High school players who graduate in December will become early enrollees. “Once again, we set our goals on getting bigger, stronger and faster,” CMU head coach John Bonamego said in a press release. “I feel like we’ve done that again.” According to the 247Sports, the best player in CMU’s 2018 class is Keonta Nixon, a threestar wide receiver from Lake Park (lllinois) Roselle. Nixon was scouted as player who can run after the catch, as well as run exceptional

routes for big-gain plays. Nixon’s size, at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, opens the opportunity to make a reception over almost any defensive back committed to play in the Mid-American Conference. Most defensive back commits are not 6-foot-4. Montrae Braswell is a three-star defensive back from Avon Park, Florida. The Chippewas signed just one quarterback in the early signing period in three-star pro-style quarterback George Pearson from Middletown (New Jersey) Mater Dei Prep. Pearson, a 6-foot-1, 210-pound athlete, had other offers to play for Boston College, Purdue and Temple. One of the main reasons he signed early was because of Bonamego’s new contract extension. “I picked Central Michigan because coach Bonamego and (assistant) coach (Chris) Ostrowsky gave me the best opportunity to play as a young guy coming in,” Pearson said. “Knowing (Bonamego) signed that new deal, he will be my coach for the next four years.” Pearson was listed as a pro-style quarterback,

meaning his game is similar to the play seen from quarterbacks in the NFL. “Doing both (running and passing) helps me to keep drives going and to make plays with my feet outside of the pocket,” Pearson said. “I’m also a good thrower inside the pocket and can keep my eyes downfield at all times.” Of the 16 players signed, six are from in-state schools, including Tyden Ferris, LaQuan Johnson, Braedon Childress, Cory Gildersleeve, Randall Harris and NeVen Simington. Besides Harris, all players signed in Michigan are "legacies" — meaning their fathers played at CMU. “I think we’ve done a really good job instate,” Bonamego said. “That’s always going to be our top priority, to sign players who are from within a six-hour radius of Mount Pleasant where 75 percent of our team comes from. It’s very important to do a great job of scouring the state and making sure we bring as much homegrown talent as we can to CMU.” The Chippewas will cap their 2018 class on Feb. 7 at a press conference.
