'Champions Center' renovation at Kelly/Shorts will cost millions Facility to be designed by architectural firm Populous By Dylan Goetz Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Kelly/Shorts Stadium is getting an upgrade. The cost of the project is unclear. Central Michigan University Athletics announced Feb. 6 that Populous, a noted architecture firm, will design the ‘Chippewa Champions Center’ at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. A press release about the center was posted on the department’s website Feb. 6, but it did not mention the cost of the proposed project. Jim Knight, assistant athletic director of Marketing and Communications, responded to a CM Life inquiry later in the day stating it was “approved for $27 million.” That number is almost double what former Athletic Director Dave Heeke proposed two years ago when he suggested a $10-20 million upgrade. On Feb. 7, Knight said the project cost won’t be known until the department knows how much money it has raised and can invest in the center. “There is no accurate estimate,” Knight said. “We are fundraising and in the design phase.” On National Signing Day Feb. 7, head coach John Bonamego did have an estimated cost to provide. “$30 million. Right in (that range),” Bonamego said. “It is all donated and raised, primarily. We

are going to have a state-of-the-art facility.” In December, Athletic Director Michael Alford announced donors have contributed $2.5 million to fund the project. The design includes meeting spaces, an alumni center and CMU Advancement team offices. The project also includes a new locker room, nutrition center and rehabilitation center for athletes. Populous has constructed famous stadiums around the world including the Arena das Dunas — a stadium built for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The company designed Comerica Park in Detroit when they were named HOK Sport. The facility will be located on the north side of Kelly/Shorts Stadium where the scoreboard, locker room and training/equipment room are located. “From the start, the vision for the Chippewas Champions Center has been to construct a place where we, as ‘one CMU,’ come together,” President George Ross said in a press release. “Certainly, it will augment the game-day football experience, but it’s not just an Athletics project. This will be in use 12 months of the year and be a hub for campus events.” Alford said fund-raising is still in its early stages. “There is strong interest in this project,” Alford said in a press release. “By working with architects, we can take goals and ideas, build a vision and see what excites our alumni and supporters.”

Campus police say Blue Light phones still helpful despite low usage situations, three car assistance situations and two fires. “It’s definitely a convenient way for people in an emergency to contact the police department,” Marquette junior Courtney Fries said. “I’ve never had to use one, but I’m sure they come in handy for most people and especially for walking on campus at night. It makes people feel a lot safer.” Wassman said a majority of the calls were made for instances such as car troubles, and not lifethreatening situations. “They are not used frequently,” Wassman said. “We still feel it’s important to have an extra option for people to have to make that call and get help when they need it.” Wassman said the areas Blue Light phones are installed on campus are highly trafficked and places farther from the center of campus.

A resource to help students in times of emergency can be used at several locations on campus with just the touch of a button. Blue Light emergency phones, which are located at 28 locations around campus, allow students to immediately contact the Central Michigan Univesity Police Department. Since 2012 — when CMUPD started using a new record-keeping system — there have been 89 calls made to the police department. Of those calls, 63 were made on accident, were false alarms or otherwise inconsequential, Lt. Cameron Wassman said. The remaining 26 included: 11 medical emergencies where an ambulance was needed, 10 general-assistance

ing their routes. The locations of Blue Lights on campus can be found on the CMUPD’s CMU webpage under the “Stay Safe! (Education and Prevention)” tab. Two of the 28 Blue Light phones were recently installed and aren’t shown on the university map yet, Wassman said. One is located near the lacrosse facility, and the other is located near CMU Research Corporation building at 2625 Denison Drive. More Blue Light phones, streetlights and cameras get added at new construction sites across campus. “It’s being planned this summer that there is going to be a

have on campus. “If you’re in danger and want to hurry up and find a solution to your problem, they can help,” Pelt said. In any sort of emergency, calling 911 is still the best way to reach the CMUPD, Wassman said. He also said it’s important to get information to the police as quickly as possible. When it comes to effectiveness of the lights, Wassman said CMUPD is always willing to talk to students who feel that campus isn’t safe enough. “We are always happy to take comments and suggestions,” he said. “If they were to call us and wanted to sit down and chat, we are more than happy to do that.”

CMU junior Lauren Margraves told the court she was assaulted by Nassar after seeking treatment for minor injuries when she was 13 years old. In all, 265 women have come forward to talk about being assaulted by Nassar. On Feb. 5, Nassar was sentenced to another 40-125 years in prison for first-degree criminal sexual conduct. It is unclear where Nassar will begin serving his prison sentence.

SEASON OF SICKNESS This strain of flu is the deadliest in a decade — so how can you stay healthy?

t might start with a body ache. Or a cough. Maybe the chills. It ends with you curled up in the fetal position in pain, or having to camp out in the bathroom for various reasons. You don’t feel like you can go to class, but you don’t want to fall behind in classes. You likely have the flu. Stay home. Do not come to class. This year’s flu season is on track to be the deadliest strain of the last 10 years. As of Feb. 5, the Center for Disease Control reported that more than 50 children have died this year of the flu. When you come to class sick, you increase the chances of not just making your own symptoms worse, but infecting those around you. Soon, what you thought was just a stomach bug has put half your class out of commission for weeks. Don’t be that person who believes themselves to be so essential to work or class that they end up infecting everyone else. At Central Michigan University, we’ve been hit hard by the flu. Erik Robinette, director of healthcare logistics and planning in the College of Medicine, said CMU Health has noted an uptick in students coming in to Foust Hall fighting the flu. He said they’ve seen around 30 cases so far, which “is higher than what we’ve recorded in some recent years.” On a college campus with thousands of people, you can’t avoid germs — but you can mitigate their effects on your body. This is one of the few times where your homework can wait. Your social life must be put on pause; studying can take a backseat, for now.

EDITORIAL Professors, if a student says they have the flu or believe they’re coming down with it — give them a pass. Not everyone can afford to go to the doctor and procure a note to prove they’ve really got the flu. Give them the option to make up a quiz later, if they couldn’t make it to class because they were sick. Allow homework to be turned in past deadline. Work with the students to make sure they can rest up without being plagued by anxieties of falling behind and failing. In our last editorial, we talked about the importance of mental health. Physical health is just as key in helping you get through the winter months. Help yourself out. Fight the flu by washing your hands constantly and thoroughly. According to National Public Radio, 80 percent of flu germs are acquired by hand contact: touching our faces, touching other infected people. Drink lots of water. When your body stays hydrated, your body stays on top of fighting off infections. Most importantly, get a flu shot on campus. It’s a myth they’ll give you the flu. In fact, of those who died from the flu this year, 80 percent of those children were unvaccinated. At CMU flu shots are $35 and available Monday through Friday 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-4:30 p.m. in Foust Hall, room 200. It’s a small price to pay for a piece of mind on your health — and if you have insurance, most providers cover flu shots. Don’t risk your health and the health of others.

HOW TO FIGHT THE FLU

SOURCE | CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL

TAKE PREVENTIVE ACTIONS TO STOP THE SPREAD OF GERMS

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people. • While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them. • If you are sick with flu symptoms, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way. • Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like the flu.

2 TAKE FLU ANTIVIRAL DRUGS • Antiviral drugs are different from antibiotics. They are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaled powder) and are not available over-the-counter. • Antiviral drugs can make illness milder and shorten the time you are sick. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For people with high risk factors, treatment with an antiviral drug can mean the difference between having a milder illness versus a very serious illness that could result in a hospital stay. • Studies show that flu antiviral drugs work best for treatment when they are started within 2 days of getting sick, but starting them later can still be helpful, especially if the sick person has a high risk factor or is very sick from the flu. Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking this drug. • Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people also may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, and have respiratory symptoms without a fever.

Things do get better with depression, but only if you let them On the night of Feb. 9, 2016, I tried to commit suicide. It wasn't the first time I tried to harm myself, and it wasn't the first time I had considered suicide. It was, however, the first time I actively made a decision knowing there was a good chance I wouldn't come out on the other side of it. Writing it down now may be the first time several people close to me, including members of my family, learn this happened. And though I did come out on the other side of that decision, and have stayed on that side for two years now, I know it was one of those rare decisions that will stick with me for the rest of my life. But I'm here, which is more than what almost happened. There was more to my case than seasonal depression, but the February weather didn't do me any favors.

Mitchell Kukulka

Community Editor

Winter is the only time of year when the wind hurts and you can literally just die if you stand outside for too long. It's a time of year that incubates feelings of misery. Like most kinds of depression, it's easy to get lost in it. Seasonal affective disorder — or as it's known on the streets, "seasonal depression" — hits everyone differently, but it does hit everyone. For many college students, the cold weather outside and the ever-increasing piles of schoolwork inside can form a dangerous combination of stress and apathy — dragging your self-esteem and your GPA down like a cinderblock. As empowering as it is to think oth-

erwise, it's not something that magically gets better if you withdraw into yourself and try to power through it without reaching out to those around you. That's the kind of behavior that can lead to the worst type of burnout. In a time of year that regularly sees increased rates of depressive episodes, it’s doubly important to not forget there are always people and things around you that can help. The first and most crucial step in therapy comes when you make the decision to get better in spite of thinking that you might be a lost cause. Mandatory therapy sessions at Central Michigan University's Foust Hall didn't do much for me, other than make me realize I wasn't the type of person that manages my emotions by talking through them with others. Thankfully, therapy doesn't have to be something easily defined. As someone who dedicated my life to

the path of a journalist, I've found my therapy in the work I do and the endless supply of new people and experiences that work exposes me to. It's not the most stable source of life-affirmation, but it's there. And it works. But therapy can just as easily come from time spent with people you love or doing things that bring you fulfillment — the methods that you can choose for catharsis are as unique and varied as you are as a person. Depression is a hole that will never bottom-out if you decide to keep digging yourself deeper. It's also a hole you can fight to escape. For many people, maybe even most people, it's a fight that will never end so much as pause at intervals. But it's a fight everybody makes, and no matter what evidence you feel there is to the contrary, it's a fight that nobody makes alone.

Philadelphia Eagles are the heroes America needs With their victory the over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII, the Philadelphia Eagles won their first championship and made their way into the hearts of Americans. Other than beating the Patriots, the Eagles have done a lot to make themselves the heroes in this NFL story. First, let’s look at defensive end Chris Long, who forced a fumble during the fourth quarter of the game and prevented the Patriots from scoring. Off the field, Long has been outspoken about social issues and showed solidarity with black teammates during silent protests on the field. Not to mention, Long donated his entire regular season salary — worth $1 million — to charities in Charlottesville, Philadelphia, Boston and St. Louis. Long also said he won’t being going to the White House after the win, a tradition of Super Bowl champions.

“When my son grows up — and I believe the legacy of our president is going to be what it is — I don’t want him to say, ‘Hey dad, why’d you go when you knew the right thing was to not go,’” Long said, in a video released in 2017. Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins and wide receiver Torrey Smith also said they would decline the invitation to the While House. Nick Foles is another inspiration on the team. The play-calling, touchdown-catching quarterback never should have made it to the Super Bowl. He didn’t have a great college football

career. Or a great NFL career. At Michigan State, Foles threw eight passes — he completed five of them. Arizona was no better for him. He went undrafted. After making his way into the NFL and bouncing around for a few years, Foles almost retired in 2015, only changing his mind after a camping trip with his brother. When he finally found himself on the Eagles in 2017, it was as a backup. Starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered an injury in week 14, and it was then up to Foles to finish the season. He did so, and won a Super Bowl against one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time: New England’s Tom Brady. “I think the big thing is don’t be afraid to fail. In our society today, with Instagram, and Twitter, it’s a highlight reel — it’s all the good things. Then, when you look at it, when you have

a rough day or your life’s not as good as that, like, you’re failing. You know failure is a part of life… We all have weaknesses and I think throughout this, just being able to share that and being be transparent,” he said in a post-game press conference. “When you look at a struggle in your life you know that’s just and opportunity for your character to grow. If something is going on in your life and you’re struggling embrace it.” This team showed the country that happy endings really can happen. They’re not limited to fairy tales. Foles showed us failures should be learned from and weaknesses admitted. Long showed us that it’s worth standing up for what we believe in, even if people don’t stand with you. In a country obsessed with underdog stories, the Eagles are exactly what we needed — and we didn’t even know it.

Faculty, students talk organizational review recommendations By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Student advising, language ambiguity and lack of rationale were among the concerns of initial committee recommendations of the Academic Organizational Review. The sessions were offered as an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to voice questions and opinions about the reorganization recommendations released Jan. 29. Carol Cartwright, former president of Kent State University and Bowling Green State University, facilitated the sessions. “My job is to listen, and then I’ll have an opportunity to give feedback to the committees,” Cartwright said. “I’m looking for patterns, any repetition of

issues that I hear throughout the sessions.” Flint senior JoAnna Lincoln found issues with the recommendations from Committee II: Academic Advising. She said she has been moved between advisors many times during her tenure at Central Michigan University. “I see a big problem with making academic advising more generalized,” Lincoln said. “You’re going to be missing many of the smaller details, specifically for students who are looking at certain research projects that really require specialized knowledge that an academic advisor simply is not going to have.” Many faculty members questioned whether this reorganization was created with student success in mind. “A student survey found that

Representatives from both departments stated that neitherwas in support of the merger and questioned how these changes would benefit students in any way. According to the overview of the review process, the next step in the reorganization is voting. The departments and colleges will be formally notified of any changes to the recommendations by Feb. 16. After that, voting will begin in the departments, colleges and Academic Senate. Cartwright will meet with all committees the afternoon of Feb. 8. Three additional feedback sessions take place from 8 a.m. to noon the same day.

It is stated in the recommendations that these changes will be “determined during the implementation phase of the reorganization.” Since there are no details listed about the implementation, the ambiguous language leaves many to feel they cannot properly assess and vote on recommendations, Simpson said.

College of Business partners with association to conduct artificial intelligence research By Farhan Coleman Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The world as we know it is becoming more and more digitalized — and the College of Business Administration believes artificial intelligence and data analytics will soon play a bigger role in society. Along with six other colleges and universities, CBA has partnered with Automation Alley, which is Michigan’s leading technology and manufacturing business association. Together, they have been doing research with data analytics and artificial intelligence so students can be better prepared for the future. Automation Alley and the other schools involved with this research will receive corporate support. Ford Motor Co. will back the research with funding and also provide professional insight. CBA Professor Debabish Chakraborty has played a role in the college’s research. He believes the work done by CBA will not only transform the lives of students at CMU, but society as a whole. Chakraborty said artificial intelligence gives society the ability to analyze and collect large amounts of data at once. “Traditionally, people would go out and collect data and would only collect as much data

that they or the computer could handle. That is over now,” Chakraborty said. CBA members have a desire to eventually take what they learn from the research and create a program centered around data analytics and Debabish artificial intelliChakraborty gence at CMU in the near future. “We are hoping lessons from this and market demand will allow us to offer concentrations and studies in big data, data analytics and artificial intelligence (within CBA),” Chakraborty said. Charles Crespy, dean of CBA, also recognizes the many benefits artificial intelligence and data analytics have to offer, which is why he wants to see it offered as a major program. “Big data, data analytics and artificial intelligence are going to drive the future in every industry,” Crespy said. “The interesting thing for us is this kind of technological wave is really going to make us much more productive in society.”

Gaming communities meant to celebrate friendship, says organizer By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter

“Video games have been the only consistent thing in my life — barring God. It’s all a blessing. I never thought I’d be able to put together organizations for these guys.”

news@cm-life.com

DaRon Turner has a simple goal for his senior year — to take Central Michigan University’s gaming community to the next level. Currently finishing up his fifth year studying entrepreneurship and computer science at CMU, Turner serves as the tournament organizer for multiple gaming communities. Turner's CM Arcade, open to any genre of video game brought by its attendees, meets at 6 p.m. every Thursday in Pearce Hall room 422. His Smash 4 Weekly group, dedicated solely to Super Smash Bros., meets at 6 p.m. every Tuesday in Pearce Hall room 422. “Video games have been the only consistent thing in my life — barring God. It's all a blessing," said Turner, of Detroit. "I never thought I'd be able to put together organizations for these guys." Formerly titled Fighting Game Community, Turner’s CM Arcade is a new community and still small, consisting of anywhere from eight to 20 members at any given event. Swartz Creek senior Weston Cross said the events are a way to escape the stress of school and the dorms. Smash 4 Weekly was organized two years ago in January 2016 by Turner and his friend Chris Headley. When looking for a community, their entrepreneur-focused minds saw a need for a gaming community on campus. The group started with about 10 members and has grown to about 25 regulars. The group has had the opportunity to travel to bigger tournaments and compete around the state. At on-campus events, the members bring their own consoles, video games and monitors to “chill out” and “exercise their thumbs” by indulging in friendly

competition, Turner said. "None of us are great at these games," said Trenton senior Jacob Honeycutt. "We come together as friends and have fun." Last year, Turner’s Smash 4 community hosted two tournament events that raised more than $1,200 for Child’s Play Charity, an organization that seeks to improve the situations of children in pediatric hospitals and other welfare facilities. “If I ever take something away from the community, I want to put more back into it,” Turner said, explaining he has gained so much from the gaming community and wants to give back.

IN THE BEGINNING Turner's love for entrepreneurship began in high school after he started watching Rob Dyrdek's “Fantasy Factory”, a reality TV series on MTV about skateboarding. Dyrdek's show ignited Turner’s curiosity for business and creativity. Turner never minded working for others, but grew more interested with entrepreneurship after realizing he could work for himself. Living in Wheeler Hall, the first thing Turner did was meet

with his resident assistant, Ryan Johnson, who influenced him to later become an RA. During his five years at CMU, Turner has grown to value the importance of connecting. "By the time you get to your senior year, you don't regret much," Turner said. "You have the opportunity to do so much networking here and have options to meet a lot of different people from many walks of life. You'll be engulfed." While working as an RA his sophomore and junior years in Cobb Hall, Turner would host gaming events in his room for his residents to enjoy themselves and each other's company. His room became "a safe haven," Turner said. Today, that is what Turner wants his gaming communities to be — a place where people can be themselves. He encourages people to bring their consoles, TVs, controllers and friends. Turner makes it a point to play with everyone at least once, at each setup. Turner said he gets a spectrum of diverse people at his events. Wanting to be inclusive, there are rules set in place that deter saying or doing certain things that may come across as derogatory. "Especially in this time socially,

(students) have a lot of social anxiety and depression," Turner said. "We have a certain amount of

control over ourselves that people don’t want to admit we have." Turner emphasized he created his communities to be an outlet, so there is somewhere people can go. He is thrilled when he sees people taking personal responsibility to fight their physical and mental conditions like social anxiety and depression. "A lot of kids in my community go through these things,"

Turner said. "When they come to the events and start playing with others, you can’t tell they suffer from those things." When Turner graduates later this year, he plans on continuing to organize gaming events both on campus and off. He also has ideas for apps that would better connect gamers and provide others opportunities to build brackets and tournaments online.

iving beauty (dis)ABLED BEAUTY brings faculty, students together to talk about disability

Nicole Lenz | Staff Photographer A 3D printed prosthetic leg painted with a metallic paint is a part of the (dis)ABLED BEAUTY exhibit on Feb. 6 in the Clark Historical Library.

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter

tacey Lim was born with profound hearing loss. She’s used hearing aids her whole life. When she turned 18 she received a cochlear implant. Her hearing loss is what inspired her to become an audiologist, but when she attended an audiology conference early in her career — everything changed. “The speaker at the conference basically said kids who are born profoundly deaf will never learn to speak or hear,” Lim said. “I thought ‘Wait a second, that’s not exactly true,’ because it is possible.” Lim wanted to find a way to blend assistive devices with fashion. Lim, along with Kent State University fashion professor Tameka Ellington, created an exhibit to showcase when fashion meets function.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | FEB. 8, 2018

Nicole Lenz | Staff Photographer Clothes designed to be both fashionable and to fit the needs of those with disabilities will be on display as part of the (dis) ABLED BEAUTY exhibit in the Clarke Historical Library.

“(dis)ABLED BEAUTY: the evolution of beauty, disability and ability,” required collaboration between seemingly unrelated departments — audiology, history and fashion — to create a discussion about disability. The exhibit will be open from Feb. 8 until August in the Clarke Historical Library. The project was originally created by Lim, now a Central Michigan University audiology professor, and Ellington. Lim met Ellington at Kent State when she started graduate school and they became friends soon after. They co-authored a study about the perception deaf or hard of hearing teenagers have about their hearing devices in 2014, then decided to work on another project. The exhibit was first displayed at the Kent State University Museum from July 2016 to March 2017. Lim joined CMU in 2013 and has been working to bring the exhibit here since. She worked with Ian Mull, fashion merchandising professor and Threads Fashion Show faculty advisor, and Brittany Fremion, history professor and oral historian, to put together the exhibit. “The great thing about this project is that it is so collaborative,” Mull said. “I’m working with so many people from so many different departments to make this happen, and people are really interested, which is very exciting and motivating.”

The purpose of the exhibit is to encourage those who use assistive devices to use their devices as a fashion statement and not as something to be ashamed of. Lim took visitor surveys at Kent State during the exhibit and collected data and comments to refine the showcase before establishing it at CMU. One comment said, “having a disability shouldn’t limit how fashionable a person should be.” The exhibit will include a mix of commercially available items and one-of-akind concept pieces. Adaptive clothing pieces from IZ Collection, ABL Denim and Alter Ur Ego are all commercially available. There will also be a pair of Nike LeBron FlyEase sneakers, which were designed for disabled athletes. The shoes feature a zipper and Velcro strap instead of shoelaces, which make the shoes easier to get on and off. The shoes are available for purchase on Nike.com. “People don’t know they’re out there,” Lim said. “We took visitor surveys at Kent State and most people didn’t know there was a need or a market for these types of products.” The exhibit will also include concept pieces like University of Minnesota fashion student Lexine Schumm’s dress. Adorned with copper wire and hearing aid batteries of various sizes, the dress

includes a wood hearing aid prototype with silver wings attached, which was designed by Ashley Temudo at University of Brighton in the U.K. The exhibition will also feature designs from nine CMU students. “This is a great opportunity for our students at CMU to look at this idea of celebrating diversity,” Mull said. “We should not try to hide what we consider a disability, but instead, celebrate our uniqueness.” Eight students embellished prosthetic limbs that were donated by Springer Prosthetic and Orthotic Services, which will be judged by five judges and viewers, with a chance to win a cash prize. The judges will choose the top three designs, which will be announced at 8 p.m. Feb. 8. There will also be a viewer’s choice award. Voting for viewer’s choice will be from 8 a.m. to 7:29 p.m. The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Michigan State University donated $700 to be used as prize money for the competition. Graduate student Alexis Jones will also have her designs featured in the exhibition. She won the 2017 “Concept 2 Consumer” Merchandising Competition, which is put on by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. Jones’ clothing line, Moxie, was designed for children with tactile issues and sensitive skin conditions. Jones will

give a brief presentation of her concept at 7:40 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium. The grand opening of the exhibition will begin with a speech from adaptive fashion designer Heidi McKenzie, the designer behind Alter Ur Ego, which provides clothing adapted for wheelchair users. McKenzie is a wheelchair user. The history department became involved in the exhibit by creating an oral history project for students. Every other year, Fremion teaches an oral history class to undergraduate and graduate students. This fall, she had her class interview CMU students and alumni with disabilities. The interviews were audio or video recorded and then transcribed by the students. Wall panels in the exhibit include excerpts from these interviews. “The social justice and activist roots of (oral history) are highlighted in this

project,” Fremion said. “It’s activism by giving voice to those who may have been omitted from the historical record, whether intentional or not.” Students compiled research materials, their transcription, and the audio or video files into portfolios which will be preserved and kept in the CMU Museum of Cultural and Natural History. The public will be able to access these portfolios by the end of the Spring 2018 semester. Other related events this semester include a speech from Jane Hash and KT Maviglia. Hash is the founder of Classy Little Fashions, a company which designs clothing for non-standard body types. She will speak March 15. Time and place are not determined yet. Maviglia will speak at 6:30 p.m. March 21. Maviglia was crowned Miss Michigan in 2014 and was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss in the fourth grade.

ALUMNA SPENCER-NOGGLE ANNOUNCES RUN FOR ISABELLA COUNTY PROBATE JUDGE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION TO HOST REAL ESTATE CONFERENCE FEB. 9

The College of Business Administration will host the 11th annual Real Estate Conference Feb. 9 in Grawn Hall. The conference takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and comprises six panelists who each have a vast array of knowledge in real estate. Registration for this event has now closed. However, students can still attend for free. The panel will discuss the business and management of real estate. There will also be time toward the end for students to meet the panelists. Spenser Robinson, associate professor and director of Real Estate, has been running the event for the past six years. He believes it offers students and those in attendance the opportunity to learn more about real estate. “Real estate is much more than just buying houses, which is what a lot of people are

exposed to growing up,” Robinson said. “It’s really everywhere you live, eat, work and play.” The panelists that will be at the conference include: • Ann Kelly – President of Lodgco Management • Brian Mills – Chief of Staff for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority • Danielle M. Spehar — Vice President of Transactions for Agree Realty Corporation • Scott Steiner – Environmental and Real Estate Attorney at Rhoades McKee • Michael Sher – Associate Broker for Real Estate One • Doug Todd – Director of Commercial Real Estate for Berkshire Hathaway

Central Michigan University alumna Sara Spencer-Noggle wants to make it easier for students to acquire an attorney when charged with a crime. She plans on doing that by running for office. Spencer-Noggle announced her candidacy for Isabella County probate judge on Jan. 29. “I am committed to opening the doors to the courthouse for everyone who needs it, including students,” SpencerNoggle said. “And that means making it easier for students to have access to attorneys.” The position of probate judge, currently held by William T. Ervin, will soon be

open after Ervin retires Dec. 31. Probate court oversees matters involving divorce and custody, child abuse and neglect, juvenile offenses, mental illness and estate matters. “I see how hard it is sometimes for students who need an attorney when they’re charged with a crime. How hard it is for them to get a public defender or retain their own attorney,” SpencerNoggle said. “I want to work to make that easier for them.” Spencer-Noggle graduated from CMU in 1998 and earned her master’s degree in political science in 2001. She also attended law school at Michigan State University

— graduating in the top 1 percent of her class. Spencer-Noggle has been employed as a prehearing attorney at the Michigan Court of Appeals and as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Isabella County. She currently operates the private law office of Spencer Law Group PLLC in downtown Mount Pleasant. Spencer-Noggle said her ties to CMU run deep. She has been in the Mount Pleasant area since 1995. Her husband, Robert, is a professor in the philosophy department. -Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter

SGA votes for on-campus food pantry, change to bereavement amnesty policy By Nicole Lenz Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The Student Government Association has voted in favor of changing Central Michigan University’s bereavement amnesty policy and creating an on-campus food pantry. SGA voted on the two resolutions at its meeting Feb. 5 in the Bovee University Center. The food pantry would consist of low-cost food that SGA senator and sustainability chairman Brendan Mantey hopes will include all major food groups. “It could help CMU students who can’t necessarily pay for food,” Mantey said.

Nicole Lenz | Staff Reporter Student Government Association senators vote to pass a resolution in support of an on-campus food pantry on Feb. 5 in the Mackinaw Room at the Bovee University Center.

The biggest issue for a student food pantry would be the logistics, with Mantey saying there’s a struggle balancing supply and demand. Since the pantry wouldn’t be government or state-funded, it would

depend on donations from the community and through volunteer efforts. The legislation puts the food pantry between Robinson and Larzelere halls. The amedment to the bereavement amnesty policy

expands the current bereavement period from the three days to five. In addition, the legislation proposes to add “close friend” to the classified list that qualifies as a “loved one” to be eligible for bereavement

amnesty. Family members, spouses and children are part of the current policy. Ian Davison, senior vice provost for Academic Reorganization Initiative, opened the general board meeting by addressing some of the initial recommendations outlined by committees through CMU’s Academic Organizational Review. Davison urged students to contact SGA members to receive more feedback on new proposals for the committees being developed. He emphasized the importance of students and faculty to give feedback on proposals being made. “Based on the feedback we receive from the campus community, the committees

may, or may not, revise their recommendations,” he said. Davison added students would still be able to have the same professors and courses, and those would not be changed due to the reorganization. One CMU student expressed concern over whether the reorganization would raise tuition. Davison said he doesn’t believe there would be much university expansion created from the reorganization and believes it wouldn’t have a great enough impact on tuition to raise concerns. A student-only feedback session was scheduled Feb. 7 in Terrace Room A in the UC, but was cancelled due to lack of registration.

Football signs one QB, three DBs, 17 total recruits on National Signing Day By Dylan Goetz Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan football signed 17 athletes to the 2018 recruiting class on Feb. 7, National Signing Day. Sixteen of the 17 recruits were previously committed to CMU. Of the signees, 15 were team captains in high school. National Signing Day is the last day for NCAA football teams to add recruits who they hope will lead them to conference titles in years to come. For the first time in history, the NCAA allowed an early signing period Dec. 20-22, which has taken away from the nation-wide excitement of National Signing Day. The Chippewas' 2018 recruiting class is ranked No. 9 in the Mid-American Conference, according to 247Sports. Last season, the team finished with an 8-5 record and fell to Wyoming in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Last season, CMU brought in 26

recruits. The Chippewas only had 14 recruits in the 2016 recruiting class. The recruiting class includes seven from in-state high schools, five offensive players and 11 defensive players. The Chippewas previously had 17 committed during the early signing period. Eric McArn was not one of the players announced during signing day because he has not officially made a decision. Bonamego was not allowed to comment on his status. Tight end prospect Joel Wilson was the only Chippewa to not have already been committed to CMU. CMU signed Braeden Childress, who is an athlete prospect who played basketball in high school. Childress is the brother of current CMU receiver Brandon Childress. CMU signed one quarterback in George Pearson, who Bonamego said would likely redshirt his first year. Pearson started from the time he was a freshman in high school. At Middleton

Nicole Lenz | Staff Photographer CMU head football coach John Bonamego discusses the 2018 recruiting class with the media during a press conference on Feb. 7 at McGuirk Arena’s Media Room.

(New Jersey) Mater Dei Prep, Pearson won two state championships. Mater Dei only lost three games during Pearson's time at quarterback. Pearson had offers from Boston College and Purdue, but chose CMU. "That position is so important," Bonomego said. "We feel like we have

to sign one (quarterback) in every class. Next fall will be the first time since I have been here where we go into the fall season with four quarterbacks." The Chippewas signed three recruits from Florida — Montrae Braswell, Carlton Cleophat and Romello Tarver. Braswell had offers from Wisconsin

and Florida Atlantic after playing both defensive back and running back for his high school team in the Tampa area. Bonamego said Cleophat and Keonta Nixon have a good chance to make an early impact, but the goal is to have seniors and juniors on the field at all times. Tyrone Scott, LaQuan Johnson, Wilson and Childress all have played basketball in high school, which is something Bonamego said he looks for in recruiting. "If you want to see something, you need to go on YouTube and watch (Scott's) dunk highlights," Bonamego said. "He's going to be a great addition to our wide receiving corps." Three early signing period defensive back commits — Randall Harris, Braswell and Kobe Lewis — made their decision from Dec. 20-22. Defensive back coach Archie Collins, who helped recruit the three commits, left for the University of Pittsburgh on Jan. 31. Last season, the Spring Game took place in late April.

Why the Chippewas are more similar to the Warriors than you think Central Michigan women’s basketball’s starting five is similar to the Golden State Warriors’ best lineup. It’s no secret that the Warriors are one of the best NBA franchises in recent memory. Their combination of stars, unselfish style of play and exceptional team chemistry creates a contender each year. There is another star-loaded team that plays as a cohesive unit and dominates its conference. That is CMU women’s basketball — the lone undefeated team in the MidAmerican Conference. The Chippewas and Warriors each lead in several offensive categories — including points per game, 3-point percentage and freethrow percentage. It’s not just the team statistics that are comparable.

Andrew Glezen Staff Reporter

PRESLEY HUDSON AND STEPH CURRY Point guard Curry is known for his extremely deep range and quick release. It’s no different for Hudson. Both make shots well beyond the 3-point arc. Hudson, a First-Team All-MAC selection, led the Chippewas during the 2016-17 campaign after averaging 16.3 points per game. Hudson set a program single-game record with a career-high 43 points against Ball State and tied the program single-game record for

1010 West High St.

3-pointers with nine in the same game.

CASSIE BREEN AND KLAY THOMPSON If Curry is not the best 3-point shooter in the NBA, it’s probably his teammate Klay Thompson. Both Breen and Thompson are unbelievable sharpshooters and perimeter defenders. Breen is shooting 42 percent from three this season, while Thompson is shooting 45 percent. Breen has recorded the second most 3-pointers in CMU history. MICAELA KELLY AND ANDRE IGUODALA Former NBA Finals MVP Iguodala is known as a quick perimeter defender who can run the floor. Kelly shares those traits with elite

Mt. Pleasant, MI

speed allowing her to get after the other team. Since Iguodala has arrived at Golden State, he has shot an efficient 48.1 percent from the field and averaged just more than one steal per game. Similarly, Kelly shoots 48.8 percent from the field and averages 1.5 assists per game.

REYNA FROST AND DRAYMOND GREEN Green is one of the NBA’s best rebounders and defenders. After two straight seasons as NBA Defensive Player of the Year runnerup, Green finally won the award last season. He leads the Warriors with 346 rebounds this season — 50 more than the next highest Warrior. Frost crashes the boards harder

989.953.1031

than anyone else on the team. She leads the MAC in rebounding — averaging 12.3 per game.

TINARA MOORE AND KEVIN DURANT Durant averages 2.0 blocks per game, which is good for No. 3 in the NBA. Tinara Moore leads the MAC by averaging 2.1 blocks per game. But, defense isn’t the only similarity between the two. Both Moore and Durant have the ability to score inside or outside. Moore shoots 60 percent from inside the arc and shoots 40.7 percent from 3-point range. Durant shoots 55.6 percent from two, while shooting 40.8 percent from three. Now, the challenge both teams face is to win a championship.

Sophomore wrestler Mason Smith was wearing sunglasses — inside — before a vital dual meet in conference play. The Central Michigan wrestler was never a big-name recruit in high school. Now, he’s the No. 9-ranked 141-pound wrestler in the nation. Smith sits at 26-4 in his second season. The Clio native finished third in last season’s Mid-American Conference Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Tournament as a freshman. After the first dual meet at McGuirk Arena for the 201718 season, head coach Tom Borrelli said Smith might be CMU’s best wrestler. Not only does Smith possess a unique sense of humor, but the highest upside to any wrestler on the roster, Borrelli said. Central Michigan Life asked Smith about what sparked his interest in wrestling and

where he gets his sense of humor. What got you into wrestling? Smith: In second grade, they handed out papers for Clio youth wrestling. I took them home and told my dad I wanted to do it. He told me “wrestling is for (losers).” In third grade, they handed out the same papers. This time, I took them to my mom and she signed me up. How would you describe yourself as a high school wrestler? I was pretty boring to watch. Honestly, I still am. I had a pretty good mullet going on my senior year and I bleached it. I had a nice tan going on, too. Some people even thought it was a spray tan. It wasn’t — I want that to be known. I put hard work in the tanning bed for that one. Why did you choose to wrestle at CMU? It’s an hour away from my house — pretty close to all my family. I knew a lot of people on the team, too. I wasn’t the most highly-recruited person in high school. Michigan coaches probably didn’t know my name until I beat their

(wrestler) last year. Michigan State’s coach told my dad I wasn’t good enough to be there. Where do you get your sense of humor from? It comes from a lot of people. My dad has a certain sense of humor to him. I don’t know if it’s quite the same (as mine). My brother, Chase, is a goofy guy. He coaches at Clio and wears weird suits — like bright orange. One year he had a kid in the state finals and wore a suit that had $100 bills across it. He’s an odd character. What do you like to do while you aren’t on the mat or in the classroom? Lay around, sit in bed. I’m a big fan of watching TV shows. My go-to’s are “Psych” and I’m a big “Scrubs” guy — it’s the best show ever made. Check it out, (it’s the) greatest sitcom of all-time — funniest show ever. Who on the team are you closest to? Well, I live with Logan Parks. We sleep like 40 feet away from each other — you don’t get closer than that. I mean there’s a wall in between (us), but hey, take away the walls and we’re right there.

Men's basketball scoring surges with good ball, player movement By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan men’s basketball has made some adjustments to its offense that head coach Keno Davis believes is bringing out the most in his shooters. “It’s similar to the same game plan that we have had since day one, but now people are adjusting to their roles better,” Davis said. “It’s a lot of repetition in practice and it’s resulting in our shooters getting better looks. Right now, it seems to be improving.” CMU (15-9, 4-7 Mid-American Conference) averages 78.8 points per game, which is No. 3 in the MAC. Against NIU and Ohio — both wins for the Chippewas — they’ve scored more than 80 points each game, including their 101-98 win in double overtime over the Bobcats on Feb. 3. “Right now we are obviously shooting the ball better, but it starts with how well we are sharing the ball and moving it around,” Davis said. “It’s our guys that can drive the ball and find the open shooter to knock down a three making a difference right now.” The ball movement has led to 29 made 3-pointers and a 38.6 percent (29-of-75) 3-point percentage over the past two games.

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer Junior guard Shawn Roundtree shoots the ball during the basketball game against Miami (Ohio) on Jan. 23 at McGuirk Arena.

Junior guard Shawn Roundtree said the recent shooting has opened more opportunities for everyone else. “When you get other people going around you, it makes life easier on the point guard,” Roundtree said. “For me, it helps because it makes defenders nervous about others around me and gives me the chance to create or score. They have to pick their poison.” Senior guard Josh Kozinski, who has dropped 11 3-pointers over his past two games, said the team is clicking. “As the season goes on we just become more comfortable with each other,” Kozinski said. “We all have confidence that everyone on this team can knock down shots.” CMU averages 13.5 assists per

game this season — good for No. 7 in the MAC — but has dished out 35 assists in its past two wins. Senior forward Luke Meyer said the perimeter passing and recent success for CMU’s shooters is opening up his game underneath. “When they start to hit all of these 3-pointers, it draws them all out and allows me to have an advantage underneath,” Meyer said. “When I roll or post up in the paint it’s making it easier for (my teammates) to get me the ball.” Davis said if the Chippewas can continue to put together full games, they will be in a better position by March. “We’ve got off to slow starts a lot this season but right now we are battling and playing better for a majority of the game,” Davis said.

LIFE IN BRIEF

SENIOR FORWARD WILLIAMS NAMED MAC WEST DIVISION PLAYER OF THE WEEK Following back-toback wins last week, men’s basketball senior forward Cecil Williams was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week. Williams averaged 20 points and 7.5 rebounds in the last two CMU wins. In the Chippewas’ 101-98 double-overtime victory against Ohio, Williams logged a careerhigh 27 points. He also chipped in six rebounds and three steals.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound senior went 7-of-16 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the arc and 11of-12 from the free throw line in CMU’s doubleovertime win over Ohio. In last week’s games, Williams shot 50 percent from 3-point range, which he said is something NBA scouts wanted him to work on during his final season in Mount Pleasant. Just one week ago, senior forward Luke Meyer earned the MAC West

IM TEAM OF

WEEK

THE

MEET

SPACE JAM 2 We spoke to Kathryn Leﬂer, Captain of this week’s Team of the Week. Tell us about your team/team name.

Our team is made up of some friends that like to play basketball and have fun. Our team name came from trying to be the sequel of a great movie, “Space Jam”. As “Space Jam 2”, our goal is to be as good as the original Space Jam team.

What’s your favorite memory with your IM team so far this year?

Who's winning the MVP on your team?

My favorite memory would be when my team played a hard fought game that went into overtime with only 4 players. We ended up with only 4 players because I had to leave just before overtime for work and another fouled out. We didn’t get the outcome we wanted, but we played the best we could and that is all that matters.

I don’t think that there is one single person on the team for MVP. Instead, I think the entire team deserves an MVP award because we all try our hardest every single game and that is all you can ask. When everyone is putting in eﬀort and trying, then they all deserve to be named MVP. Let’s keep playing and having fun!
