John Bonamego is now the highest-paid employee of Central Michigan University.

Serving as Central Michigan football’s head coach since 2015, Bonamego will be making nearly $700,000 per year in base salary and additional compensation for media and promotional appearances.

On Dec. 19, Bonamego and Athletics Director Michael Alford agreed to a contract extension that runs through 2022 with a base salary of $430,000 and annual raises of $10,000. Bonamego will earn $175,000 per year for media and promotional appearances, hiking his total compensation to $655,900 in 2018.

In his last year of the contract, Bonamego’s base salary will reach $470,000 and his guaranteed money will have risen to $695,900 in 2022.

Bonamego also receives an annual $50,000 retention bonus, which carries over from his previous contract.

Jim Knight, CMU assistant athletic director for Communications and Marketing, described

for Bonamego. Alford incentivized winning the MidAmerican Conference, winning a bowl game and keeping student athletes’ grade point averages high.

Knight said Alford sees the five-year extension as a new contract, essentially. Knight also added home game attendance numbers were not a focal point in the contract.

Bonamego’s new contract puts him third in the MAC in highest paid coaches, Knight said. Toledo coach Jason Candle (over $1 million) and Western Michigan coach Tim Lester ($800,000) are No. 1 and 2 in the conference, respectively.

Knight added the extension was announced on Dec. 19 because that is when the team found out about the contract after practice in Boise, Idaho, preparing for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Here is a list of performance incentives Bonamego could earn during a successful season: • If CMU wins the Mid-American Conference West Division, Bonamego would earn a $15,000 bonus.

• If CMU earns a victory over a Power Five school, he receives a $10,000 bonus.

Guaranteed total compensation

If CMU wins the MAC Championship, Bonamego would receive $25,000.

• For being a participant in a bowl game, Bonamego receives $20,000. For winning a bowl game, he receives $25,000.

• If Bonamego is named MAC Coach of the Year, he would receive $25,000.

• If the football team draws a home game average attendance of 20,000, Bonamego would receive $10,000. If the attendance reaches over 25,000, Bonamego gets $15,000.

• If the football team records an average cumulative GPA over 3.0, Bonamego gets $15,000. The Fall 2017 semester was the 38th straight semester CMU athletes have averaged over a 3.0 GPA. There are added incentives for winning a College Playoff game and finishing in the College Playoff Top 25.

Bonamego would also receive $75,000 if the team participated in the Fiesta, Peach, Cotton, Orange, Rose or Sugar Bowls.

SMART START Decriminalizing minor in possession charges in Michigan gives second chance for students

There’s no sense in pretending that more than half of the people reading this sentence right now consume, or have consumed, alcohol before they were 21 years old.

It’s no secret either that a number of those readers likely suffered some negative consequence for that behavior.

A new state law that went into effect Jan. 1 reclassified Michigan’s minor in possession of alcohol charge from a misdemeanor to a civil infraction that carries a $100 fine.

According to The Detroit Free Press, the misdemeanor charge included a fine and could carry a sentence of up to 90 days in jail. In that same article, Isabella County reported one of the highest number of MIP charges, with 233 citations.

Bills 332-333 were signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder in December 2016. State Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, a former law enforcement officer, sponsored the bills to address issues he saw in the application of the MIP law.

“The problem with the old Minor in Possession law was that it was clogging up our courts, putting kids in jail and jeopardizing the chances of some young people to get into college or get a job,” Jones said in

a press release.

“Under this new EDITORIAL law, we will give young people one chance to get their lives in order and avoid a criminal record.”

According to the nonprofit charitable organization ProCon, an online research resource, America is one of 12 countries in the world with the highest age to legally consume alcohol. We are in the company of countries such as Iraq, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Kiribati, Micronesia, Nauru, Oman, Palau and Samoa. The drinking age was moved from 18 to 21 in 1986, under the direction of President Ronald Reagan.

In a country where you can lay down your life as a member of the military, drive a car, purchase a handgun from a private seller, smoke cigarettes, obtain a medical marijuana card before you can legally consume a beer, America’s drinking laws feel a bit antiquated.

It’s time for a change and this “second chance” law is a start. That is something to celebrate.

College is a time to learn and to grow as

a person – that includes making mistakes. It’s also a time to learn who you are without the constant supervision of parents, teachers or guardians.

We encourage students not to look at this change in the law as a free pass to be careless about their alcohol consumption. A second offense is a misdemeanor punishable by 30 days in jail and a $200 fine. A third offense could “carry a sentence of up to 60 days, a $500 fine and possible revocation of the offender’s driver’s license,” according to The Detroit Free Press.

It is nice to see state legislators giving us the benefit of the doubt on at least this issue. When it comes to our leaders in Lansing, we’ll take a win wherever we can find one.

Be safe. Be smart.

For now, you get to make one mistake before an MIP ends up negatively affecting your life.

Don’t be reckless with it.

EDITORIAL

Zoning ordinance is a benefit to all in the community TO THE EDITOR: If you have driven around town over the last couple of months, you have probably seen signs claiming that the city is trying to “force out Central Michigan University students.” You may have also seen articles quoting local landlords saying that the city is trying to “get rid of students” with its proposed zoning ordinance.

We would like to assure residents, including our student residents, that the city is NOT attempting to “get rid of CMU students.” We recognize the valuable role both CMU and the students who attend CMU play in the community. With the many academic offerings, art and cultural activities, sports events and the tremendous economic impact, Mount Pleasant is enriched in many ways by the presence of CMU and its students.

It is true that the city is in the process of re-writing its zoning ordinance. The last significant update was done in 1984 and much has changed in Mount Pleasant during that time.

The consulting firm hired by the city spent over a year studying the community and Master Plan, meeting with a broad cross-section of community members and conducting a four day workshop with extensive participation. The

preliminary draft was sent to the city last June.

The active involvement of the community in reviewing the draft has been an important part of the process and a number of concerns expressed by residents have been addressed.

While many agree that the new zoning ordinance is a major step forward, there continues to be controversy over the recommendation to rezone six blocks immediately north of campus from the current multiple occupancy zone to a more traditional residential zone that restricts occupancy to no more than two unrelated persons.

This recommendation is not about who can live in that area. It does not say students can’t live there.

Zoning ordinances can’t tell people where to live. Zoning ordinances determine the type of housing allowed in different districts.

The current multiple occupancy zoning allows a model of housing in those six blocks that generally involves four or more unrelated people living together in a single unit. These types of houses are usually rented by the “bed.” In the area immediately north of campus, there are many units that provide that type of rooming housing that are not affected by the proposed rezoning. Those units alone provide close

to 2000 beds. Moreover, even in the area that is proposed for rezoning, the current rooming houses will be grandfathered in and are likely to continue to be available to rent for many years.

The proposed ordinance also adds new areas abutting campus on the east that can be used for developments that include rooming houses.

So why did the consultant recommend different zoning for a small part of the area north of Bellows Street?

One reason is because this is a

character based code. That means that recommendations were made that preserve areas that add character to the city and make it a desirable place to live. Although those blocks have experienced some changes over the last couple of decades, they still retain an essentially “residential neighborhood” feel.

As a recent Central Michigan Life editorial pointed out, students also appreciate the feel of that area. That residential character is what this code is trying to preserve.

Another reason is because the city already has many options for anyone looking for rooming type housing, but very limited options for more traditional rentals. While some have argued that there is no evidence to support that, many reports including one just completed this year show a need for more traditional housing options. That study said: “There is a very limited supply of modern conventional market-rate rental product offered within the Mount Pleasant site as most market-rate properties identified in the market are studentoriented and/or rented by the bed/ person…”

Those studies reinforce the observation of many potential residents that it is difficult to find affordable housing options in Mount Pleasant.

Not only is the city not trying to “force out CMU students,” one of the goals of the city is to convince CMU graduates to stay in Mount Pleasant permanently. Experts in urban planning agree that having a population that includes young college graduates is key to creating a vibrant community. One barrier to keeping graduates has been the lack of affordable rental housing. This point was made in a recent post by a graduate who wanted to stay in Mt. Pleasant, but could not find any affordable apartment options that didn’t involve sharing the space with at least three or four other renters.

Rezoning those six blocks just north of campus means that there will be no further expansion of dorm-style rooming houses in that area. The hope is that over time it will become a desirable mix of permanent and non-permanent residents who enjoy the convenience of renting or buying a house in a residential neighborhood close to campus and downtown.

If that goal is achieved, Mt. Pleasant will continue to be a place that many people, including CMU graduates, choose to make their home.

Allison Quast Lents Mayor of Mount Pleasant Kathy Ling Mayor, 2016-2017

Lack of available parking headache for commuting students TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to you to express my concern about the lack of available parking given to students around campus. As a courtesy, I am recommending that Central Michigan University provide more available spaces to park throughout campus.

To my knowledge, there are two different types of available parking for students around campus — meter and com-

muter parking. Central provides commuter lots to students who may live off campus so that they are able to park for their classes.

There are only 14 commuter lots around campus and all of those spread out from one another.

In Fall 2016, there were 16,801 undergraduates enrolled and 2,259 graduate students enrolled.

Most of the commuter lots offer roughly 100-200 legally open spots to those who have a com-

muter parking permit.

This lack of parking has been an ongoing issue for not only students, but also staff. Plenty of complaints have been aired in regard to the lack of expansion of parking lots.

I understand that space is limited around campus, which is why I am suggesting that there be parking structures built in some of the computer lots.

Building parking structures in

place of regular parking lots will not only help expand the number of legal spots available without expanding space, but it will also help to keep cars from freezing in the winter. The commuter lots that I suggest placing a parking structure in are lots 33N, 33S, 62W, 62E, and 8. The increasing number of students who are unable to attend class due to lack of parking will be solved by the placement of park-

ing structures, which will in the end raise the grades for students around campus.

I urge Central Michigan Life readers and staff to contact the CMU Board of Trustees to urge them to consider voting to replace the student commuter lots with parking structures to better regulate parking around campus.

Phi Kappa Tau suspended until Spring 2021 following investigation

By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS MICHIGAN

February 17, 2018 O’Kelly’s / Wayside 2000 S. Mission St., Mt. Pleasant 10AM REGISTRATION • 11:30AM PLUNGE 12:30PM Awards & After Splash Bash

Phi Kappa Tau was suspended Jan. 15 from operating at Central Michigan University for three years after a number of student conduct violations last fall.

Central Michigan Life reached out to the chapter for comment for this story.

"Phi Kappa Tau does not currently exist at Central Michigan University,” said Tom Idema, director of the Office of Student Conduct. “They have been sanctioned by the university and shut down by their national office.”

The fraternity was originally suspended Oct. 5 for an alcohol violation, pertaining to underage drinking. When the fraternity continued to host parties and events during suspension, they were cited with failure to comply and were suspended temporarily.

“What started off as an alcohol violation turned into an investigation,” Idema said.

“The group decided not to abide by the university’s temporary suspension.”

The group also violated risk managment guidelines set by the Fraternal Information and Programming Group (FIPG).

The university worked with the chapter’s national headquarters and alumni to define the terms of the suspension. The chapter will be allowed to regroup and reform once again in Spring 2021.

“Most groups, you’ll see a fouryear-plus suspension,” Idema said.

“But they got a three year, in part because of the fantastic cooperation from the national office and the alumni group.”

Problems tend to escalate as years go on, Idema said, so a suspension provides a clean slate for the fraternity.

“Sometimes you’ve got to give enough of a break, so that all the

people involved, or have knowledge of, or know what happened, are gone,” Idema said. “Then you bring in brand new people to start the group, the way it was intended to be started.”

Another fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, is under two separate suspensions — one by the CMU Office of Student Conduct and another put in place by its national office.

The Office of Student Conduct suspended the fraternity indefinitely last semester, after it violated agreements made last spring during a probation period.

One of the agreements was that the fraternity needed to elect all new officers for its executive board. Rather than doing so, it elected just a few new members, while others remained.

“Part of that was, we said, if you elect new officers, they can’t be the same people that were just in place,” Idema said. “The theory

being that, if you were in charge while bad things happened, don’t have the same leaders involved.

Hopefully bad things don’t continue to happen.”

Idema said the fraternity has plans to elect an all new board.

Until that happens, it is suspended. It was brought to the attention of the Office of Student Conduct that there were still old members on the fraternity's board, when a hazing allegation was made against the fraternity.

The fraternity’s national office decided to suspend the chapter as well, while the investigation takes place.

“The goal here is to keep everyone safe, while we look into things,” Idema said. “If we find there are (further) violations, we will address those. If there are no violations, they will be returned to their previous probationary status.”

Warriner Hall lot converted to Pango-only parking

By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Parking Lot 9, located north of Warriner Hall — once filled with quarter-operated meters — can now be used for parking using a phone app.

With the exception of a few signed and handicap parking spaces, Lot 9 was converted to Pango this month.

Commuters still have to pay for parking, but rather than using coins, they can use the free Pango app on their smartphones. To begin paying with Pango, users must add their credit card information and license plate number.

Traditional meters charge a quarter-per-half-hour rate, Madeline Tunison | Staff Photographer which can easily lead to under, A Pango parking only sign stands in the snow on Jan. 14 near or overpaying. However, Pango Warriner Hall.

uses a timer system and charges customers for the exact time they were parked.

The app also shows how much users have spent on parking each month, and sends them an activation and deactivation text — in place of a receipt.

Along with the rate of about 2 cents per minute there is also a 15-cent “convenience fee.” Pango does make money off the university using their system.

Central Michigan University has been using the Pango option on standard meters since August 2015. Since then, the amount of revenue through Pango has gone up, while coin revenue from meters has gone down, said CMUPD Capt. Fred Harris.

The meters in Lot 9 needed updating, Harris said, and rather than replace the 41 meters for roughly $10,000, he decided to take out the

quarter-powered meters altogether and convert to a Pango-only lot.

The fact that he has received nothing but positive feedback from students he has talked to played a factor in his decision.

As for Parking Services, who checks the parking lots on campus each day and administers tickets, it only takes an iPad to check if someone has paid using Pango, by confirming their license plate number.

“It makes our job a lot easier,” said Lake Orion senior Sam Schomburg, who works for Parking Services. “With the app we can see on our iPads which license plates are registered with the lot, and once they stop paying, they go away on the iPad.” While Pango eliminates overhead and maintenance fees of meters, it may not be user-friendly for visitors to campus. Harris

said they plan to see how Lot 9 works out before thinking about converting any other lots.

Saginaw visitor, Jessica Fitrakis downloaded the app for the first time to park in Lot 9.

“I think it might be easier with an app,” Fitrakis said. “Because I know I had to get specifically quarters to use parking meters.”

For Jackson senior Charles Capp, the switch has made little difference, since he has always used the Pango option.

“I’ve used Pango for forever,” Capp said. “It works better because say you’ve got to stay in (class) for four hours. Before, if you had two classes back-to-back, you’d have to run out here.”

A few other lots on campus feature Pango-only spots such as Lot 36, Calumet Court, and part of Lot 62, located by the Student Activity Center.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

STUDENTS CAN NOW RESERVE STUDY ROOM WEEKS IN ADVANCE AT PARK LIBRARY A new program at Charles V. Park Library aims to make study rooms less congested and more convenient to use.

The new program, Dibs, allows students to check into study rooms up to eight days in advance. Using their phones or laptops, students can sign up online at library. cmich.edu/dibs.

When students sign up, they are sent a confirmation email giving them the time and place of their reservations.

Associate Dean of Libraries Kathy Irwin came up with the idea for the new system. She

used the program before to meet with a friend at a local library.

Irwin was impressed by the accessibility the Dibs program offered. When she used the program, she saw how it could help students at CMU. “It was so easy to us. We spent the Fall semester getting it up and learning what the features are,” Irwin said.

She added that she hopes the new program will help students better manage their schedules and alleviate the frustration caused by the old sign up system.

“It’s one less thing you

have to do,” she said.

Another advantage to the new Dibs program is the ability to check room availability before students try to reserve a room.

Irwin made it clear the Dibs program is stages away from being a fully flushedout system.

“It is an experiment right now,” Irwin said.

The library plans to use the Spring semester to test the program and see how students adopt it.

After the departure of 10 senators by the end of the Fall semester, Student Government Association is mixing experienced legislators with new faces and ideas this semester.

Though last semester resulted in just one piece of legislation, SGA leadership maintains President Anna Owens’ administration will continue to pursue projects.

The organization has provided tabling around campus, intending to collect student opinion. It also hosted a Student Body Town Hall hoping students would attend to speak directly to student government.

The organization is planning to host another Student Body Town Hall this semester to gather more input from constituents.

Senate Leader Caroline Murray has noticed the student body has struggled to embrace the atmosphere this administration created.

“A lot of times, the student body doesn't feel like we are doing any work if they don't see that progress,” Murray said.

Murray said SGA is still working on pushing for the creation of a Gender and Sexuality Center on campus, but added the project will take years to accomplish.

Last semester, SGA began with a full senate. Now, the senate has a headcount of 14 — two senators less than the required number for a quorum, or the number of people necessary to vote on legislation and leadership positions. Murray said four senators resigned at the beginning of the academic year for personal reasons, medical reasons or scheduling conflicts.

Another resigned to pursue the presidency of his fraternity. December graduation also drained the senate of two students. "(What is a) setback, while it's an exciting opportunity to have, is 10 to 14 new senators," Murray said.

Murray added she would prefer quality over quantity when senators are elected Jan. 22 at the first SGA meeting of the semester.

Senators work on projects of their own creation throughout the semester and are required to serve three office hours per week, Owens said. They also must attend the weekly SGA

meetings at 7 p.m. Mondays in the UC Auditorium.

SGA Vice President Derek Sturvist says there's a similar setback in the administration's cabinet, noting there are vacancies in the press secretary, volunteer coordinator, officer manager and co-legal clinic director positions.

"We have to be really active in making sure the new students coming in understand what they have to do," Sturvist said, adding the administration will provide newcomers with support, resources and acclimating them to SGA's atmosphere.

Owens, Sturvist and Murray nodded at the student body's negative opinion regarding last semester's lack of legislation.

It has been difficult finding projects that both satisfy the expectations of the student body and are reasonable within the organization's means of accomplishment, Murray noted.

"It does seem like legislation can get passed and then disappear," Sturvist said.

Sturvist added that this administration is focusing more on the aspect of passing legislation that can be implemented, not simply approved to appease constituents.

Academic Senate votes on changes to degree modification process

By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Academic Senate approved a proposal at its Jan. 16 meeting to give itself authority to make changes to degree programs.

In November, an affirmative vote resulted in the senate having authority to review and approve changes to degree programs, such as the reduction in credit hours to 120.

However, the process to approve such changes was not clearly outlined in the Curricular Authority Document.

The intention of the new proposal was to clarify the process used to approve changes to degree programs, specifically for programs not owned by a department or college. These changes will be inserted on page 26 of the Curricular Authority Document Modifications may include degree titles, total hours, deleting a section of study (such as area requirements) or overall structure of the degree. Degrees applicable to this approval process include the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Bachelor of Applied Arts degrees.

The approval process for changes will begin with the Academic Senate Executive Board, which will route proposals to Senate Review Committees and Academic Senate, or the Michigan Association of State Universities, depending on the degree of modifications.

Academic Senate also voted to approve changes to the Accelerated Master’s Degree Program policy, set to be implemented in Fall 2018.

The change allows students to reduce the total number of credits required for undergraduate and

graduate degree completion by applying no more than 50 percent of the graduate program (500 and 600-level courses), at the discretion of the department, towards graduation requirements on both degree programs.

Generally, courses required on the undergraduate major may not be counted on the graduate program.

Provost Michael Gealt also gave an update on the Academic Organizational Review, announcing that Senior Vice Provost for Academic Reorganization Initiative Ian Davison will post all committee reports on the Academic Organizational Review website on Jan. 26.

Hundreds of students celebrate MLK’s life, legacy

By Samantha Shriber Staff reporter news@cm-life.com

Instead of taking the day off, Central Michigan University students and community members dedicated Jan. 15, Dr. Martin Luther King

Jr. Day, to honoring his vision and discussing the ongoing fight toward racial inequality.

With a brunch, a day of service, and march and vigil — the national holiday was filled with activities that celebrated MLK's work.

Senior Dezmond Earle, of Canada, participated in the CommUnity Peace March. He

stressed the importance of not forgetting history even as progress is achieved.

"I think it’s important, and necessary, to keep that tradition and remember that this is what we fought for and that we need to keep fighting to keep that equality. The fight’s not over and I don’t think it’ll ever be over," Earle

said. “As the years go by and things become more racially equal, people tend to forget how things were before."

Multicultural Academic Student Services (MASS) presents the week-long celebration Jan.14-19. Events are designed to honor King and discuss his mission to educate, serve his

13

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | JAN. 18, 2018 community and advance equal opportunity.

The CommUnity Peace Brunch which kicked of Monday's events included speaker Bishop Travis Hall and a student oratorical contest.

Port Huron senior Mateo Savedra, sophomore Nataia Calloway and Mount Clemens junior Matthew King were finalists in the oratorical contest. This year participants were asked to explore the influence of systematic, institutional racism and oppression of AfricanAmericans since the civil rights movement.

D'Wayne Jenkins, MASS assistant director for cultural programming and mentoring, said the brunch is one of the week's high points, as it attracted up to 700 participants.

"The brunch is really one of my favorite events because it brings so many people together," Jenkins said, adding its combination of guest performances and student-led oratorical presentations tend to merge many people together in a very clear way.

President George Ross also spoke at the brunch. He said although equality continues the fight for social justice must be fought on in the years to come.

"As I look out into the crowd, I see many different faces from all walks of life coming together to honor a man who's dream lives on in us. The dream’s not fulfilled folks," Ross said, adding that Central must move forward together to elimante judgements based off of race and difference.

Reflecting on MLK's legacy, Michala Webb, a student assistant for Pathways to Academic Student Success, a program for first generation students, said King's values have inspired not only community service on the national holiday, but every day.

"I feel that the values you come across during this holiday are the values you should have anyway for every time you wake up for the day," Webb said. "Dr. King gives us the understanding that our life is not about just serving ourselves.

It's about serving and building up others."

Participants gathered in the Bovee University Center Monday afternoon before marching into the winter weather as part of the CommUnity Peace March & Vigil. Hundreds made their way down South Main Street to downtown Mount Pleasant.

The march concluded with a vigil where Jonathan Glenn, MASS assistant director of scholarships and mentoring, gave a speech in the Town Center. He said he believed in the beauty that "is in every single face" that participated in the march.

"It is easier to be united, it's easier to love people (and) it's easier to be a Chippewa,"

Quinn Kirby | Staff Photographer A participant in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace March carries a “Black Lives Matter” sign on Central Michigan University’s campus on Jan. 15.

Glenn said. I see brothers and sisters that walked in the cold to remember the life of a man who gave his life so that we all could be here together."

Mary Henley, director of MI Gear Up and Pathways to Academic Student Success in the Office for Institutional Diversity said the day aimed to be a "day on" as opposed to an ordinary vacation day, especially as students got up to explore the opportunities available to them.

The MASS office is also responsible for presenting Black History Month at CMU. This month long series of events will be initiated with a Soup and Substance event, taking place from noon to 1 p.m. on Feb. 1 in the UC Terrace Rooms. This is a public soup luncheon joined by a substantive presentation tabled by the campus community.

Henley said the MLK festivities prepare CMU to dive deeper into black history.

"Those students who miss many of these (MLK Week) opportunities may know now that activities and events that are coming up for next month," Henley said.

She said the MASS office continues to im-

“I think it’s important, and necessary, to keep that tradition and remember that this is what we fought for and that we need to keep fighting to keep that equality. The fight’s not over and I don’t think it’ll ever be over.”

prove in the prestige and depth they celebrate both King's legacies and black history.

"It is a time to celebrate our African American culture. It is a chance to educate and a chance to inform," Henley said. "It's a chance to look at the past, the present and where we're going."

Henley said the official list of events and key speakers for Black Heritage Month will be released near the final week of January, as the MASS office makes the final touches to presenting an informative week.

Flint senior Fredrick Fife II said he is looking forward to a special food taster event.

The food to be introduced will be “soul food,” a traditional meal from Southern Afri-

can American culture.

"It reminds (me) of home," Fife said. "The MASS office does a very good job at providing opportunities to submerge into different cultures, and I can submerge even more into my own."

Black Girls Rock will also take place from 6-8 p.m. Feb. 11 in the Bovee University Center. The event is an annual award show hosted by registered student organizations Phenomenal Brown Girl, Pinky Promises CMU and the Theta Theta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. The gathering's purpose is to empower young women of color in a variety of fields such as academics, entrepreneurship, athletics and the arts.

n Oct. 21, 1987, Central Michigan Life wrote a feature story on the efforts of then-student John Bonamego to teach football basics to members of the Mount Pleasant High School junior varsity football team.

After graduating from Central Michigan University in 1987, Bonamego would go on to have a 27-year career coaching football, including a stint from 1993-1998 as an assistant coach for the United States Military Football Team, and holding the position of special teams coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.

Bonamego was chosen to replace Dan Enos as CMU's head football coach on Feb. 8, 2015. On Dec. 19, 2017, Bonamego and Athletics Director Michael Alford agreed to a five-year contract extension that will run through 2022.

This pay raise will make Bonamego the third highest-paid coach in the Mid-American Conference.

Debate team looks forward to spring following successful fall

By Corey Micho Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University’s debate team saw strong performances from some of the team members both old and new during the Fall 2017 season, said associate professor Joseph Packer, the team’s director.

Packer said the team hopes to continue this momentum into the spring.

The team travels to tournaments around the country, participating in debates on topics it receives. The side that team members take in each match is chosen by the judge of the debate.

“We’ve had a strong run in the last few years,” Packer said. “We have been to a few national championships and a bunch of tournaments over the years.”

The team will head to Webster University at the end of January. The team also plans to go to Ithaca College on Feb. 2 and Hillsdale College on Feb.

The overall topic for tournaments this year is criminal justice reform, with smaller debate topics stemming from

that category, Packer said.

Some of topics covered by the team include giving police forces militarygrade weapons and the need for police departments to receive additional training regarding gender issues.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Ian LoPiccolo went 2-4 during his first tournament at Western Kentucky University, but won the novice bracket in his second tournament at Lafayette College.

“We want debaters (on the team) that have some experience and are passionate about it, not people who aren’t ready to make the time and work commitment,” LoPiccolo said.

Team members meet for one hour every week, while practicing and doing research on their own time.

Team president and Kingsley junior Audrianah Shavrnoch has also found success this season. She reached the finals and semifinals at two tournaments at Illinois State University in October.

Shavrnoch competed in seven tournaments and placed in the top four or higher in six of them. In the other tournament, she was in the top eight.

The two main types of tournaments the teams do are regional and outround.

Regionals require no qualification to be in, Outrounds serve as a “playoff ” for

debaters, determining if they can go to the national tournament.

The team will finish the season at the National Forensic Association Tournament at the University of WisconsinOshkosh on April 18.

Currently, the team consists of eight people — two that have the team as a primary focus and eight other members that fluctuate when it comes to tournaments.

Packer said that the team generally does not accept new members mid-season, though exceptions can be made for students who have previous debate experience.

Some of the notable CMU Debate alumni include sportscaster Dick Enberg and former Mount Pleasant Mayor David Ling.

“We have a lot of talented young debaters, so I hope to see them develop,” Packer said. “We also have three debaters who will be seniors who I think all have a shot to have really successful seasons.”

Immediate Occupancy THE PIXIE RESTAURANT REOPENED FOLLOWING Available SMOKE DAMAGE AFTER SMALL FIRE No significant damage to the inside of The Pixie restaurant resulted from a small fire on the morning of Jan. 13.

The restaurant, located at 302 N. Mission St., was temporarily closed Jan. 13 following the fire. All damage was caused from smoke that accumulated between the roof of the building and the ceiling tiles.

"It's surprising how much smoke can actually cause damage — it gets stuck on walls and ceiling tiles and things like that," said division manager Teri Cregger.

The fire was caused by a malfunctioning transformer that powers one of the neon signs lights located near the entrance of the building.

When restaurant manager Dawn MacLean turned on the neon lights that line the exterior of the building at 8 a.m., the transformer caught fire and began leaking smoke into the area above the ceiling tiles, which initially wasn't seen by employees in the building.

Another employee, who lives across the street from the restaurant, could "see the flame on the front end of the building," Cregger said, and told his parents to call 911.

He alerted the employees inside the building, who were not yet aware of the fire. The Mount Pleasant Fire Department responded to the fire and had it extinguished by 9 a.m.

The drive-thru portion of restaurant reopened around 3 p.m. the same day, and the restaurant in full reopened for normal business hours on Jan. 14.

Servpro fire restoration teams have been managing the damage and beginning repairs throughout the day. In addition to wiping down surfaces in the building and using air cleaners to remove the odor of smoke, Servpro workers will also be replacing ceiling tiles and insulation within the dining area.

Centennial Nights provides unique live music showcase

By Samantha Shriber Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

In 2011, Chelsea senior Chris Stewart had his entire perspective on entertainment and community changed by Electric Forest, an electronic music festival in the woods of Rothbury.

Several years later, Stewart combined his love for the festival environment and his pursuits in public relations to create his own production company, Magical Mitten Productions.

On Sept. 29, the group joined forces with downtown banquet venue Centennial Hall to create the live musical showcase and art collective, "Centennial Nights."

The first event on Sept. 29, 2017, raised $200 for those affected by Hurricane Maria, a natural disaster resulting in 547 fatalities in Dominica and Puerto Rico.

"I feel like Mount Pleasant in general really needs something fun to do that isn’t trashy or just a crowded bar with a bunch of people you can’t really talk to," Stewart said.

Centennial Nights is organized by a group of 10-12 friends monthly, who work on constructing sets, gathering acts and promoting around campus.

The event is a collaborative entertainment group joined

by Skuzzy Boys Presents LLC from Lake Orion junior Spencer Roberts and Ludington junior Jesse Weier.

The event's art director, Katrina Marberger, said all artists are invited to exhibit their work, no matter its context, genre or volume.

The events have showcased local artists, such as indie-rock group Pineapple Psychology and indie-folk rock band Pining.

Marberger said Centennial Nights already does a successful job with meeting the festival itch students on a budget might fail to fulfill.

Ty Bugbee from Pining preforms during Centennial Nights on Jan. 13 at The Dreamer Coffee House.

"There's a lot of people who want to get to experience festivals but unfortunately may not have the means to do so," Marberger said. "Some festivals are extremely expensive and far away and may not appear as an option."

The core group of producers is working with the city to create the first ever Pleasant Fest-a day-long music festival they hope will take place outside the banquet hall in May. Stewarts said his promotional career continues to expand, especially as listeners demand up close encounters with the music and the economics of the entertainment industry alternate.

"The live entertainment indus-

try is an extremely ever growing industry, especially now as record sales plummet," Stewarts said. "The live music entertainment industry continues to grow because it’s now becoming the (best) way for musicians to generate revenue."

The first show of 2018 took place on Jan. 13 — acts included alternative folk group, Crystal Images, hip-hop group Abstract Generation, dubstep artist Hazedog, house DJ Florhythm and several others.

Pining was co-founded by Onondago senior Ty Bugbee and December 2017 graduate Joshua Stutsman.

The two roommates described their five-piece band as a half and

half mixture of musical preferences. Their stage presence mixes jazz, rock-and-roll oldies and indie-folk.

To Bugbee, performing at Centennial Nights is like coming home.

"This was one of the first places we were ever invited to play out, so every time we're back its like a bunch of friends coming together," Bugbee said.

"We've been able to watch this event grow and grow along with them as a band.

"It doesn’t matter what they’re creating, they just want a platform to share that on. I think a lot of events you go to you’re going to hear the same style of music from

start to finish and I think that’s just kind of boring in my opinion."

The next Centennial Nights is Feb. 23. Guests are encouraged to RSVP on the “Centennial Nights: February” event page on Facebook.

Each event consists of a charity art raffle earning an average of $80 monthly. Money collected in January went to the Sally and John Goodrow Fund, an outreach program in Mount Pleasant aiding residents and families in need of emergency assistance.

Alumna Megan Ferguson is a regular art vendor for the event and returned to CMU to check up on the program. Ferguson said the event was all about connectivity.

"For me, art was all about connecting with individuals in the community and learning more about the natural resources that we are surrounded by, whether that's the (Chippewa) River or going back to my hometown," the Grand Haven native said.

For St. Clair Shores sophomore Ashley Bourlier, the Jan. 13 show was her first Centennial Nights experience.

"I've never been to a show like this before, it's very free spirited and I like how everyone has so much individuality," Bourlier said.

"People aren't afraid to be themselves and they're not afraid to just be in the moment."

Moore Media Records provides spotlight for local musicians

By Zoe Newmann Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Musicians don’t need to travel far to find a record label in Mount Pleasant.

Student-run organization Moore Media Records offers a way for local musicians to record, promote and market their music.

It also allows Central Michigan University students the opportunity to learn more about music production and the marketing and promotion of a musical product. Moore Media Records produces sampler albums, records demos, creates artwork for albums, markets music and organizes live shows.

The group meets at 7 p.m. Thursday in Moore Hall 183 and 184. Its studio is located in Moore Hall 315.

The rate for the demo serive package is $60 for a four-hour session, and $20 for each additional hour.

Tustin senior Jack Cafretsas is the label’s president. He began working for the label after attending an informational

meeting in Moore Hall as a freshman.

“If someone enjoys music, Moore Media Records is the place to be,” Cafretsas said.

The main goal of the group is to promote a wide variety of music on campus. To help do so, Moore Media

Records puts together an annual sampler that features four bands. Students record and mix tracks, create art and market the recordings. Once the sampler is complete, they end the spring semester with a live performance.

The artists for this year’s sampler

include Pineapple Psychology, Bellevue, Kuzco Poison and Pretty Baguette.

Pineapple Psychology is the only on-campus band. The other two bands are from Detroit and Saginaw. The showcase concert will be announced at the end of March.

Moore Media Records raises money for its projects by hosting live performances and contests throughout the Mount Pleasant area. Its latest fundraiser, a competition between five local performers — Pineapple Psychology, Pining, Crystal Images, Cassius Tae and Abstract Generation — was Dec. 6 at the Dreamer Coffee Shop.

“Moore Media Records helps students learn new and professional ways to record, book shows and to get music out there,” said Lake Michigan sophomore Mark Johnston, who is the organization’s production manager.

Johnston is a broadcast and cinematic arts major and helps with the production and mixing process at MMR.

Faculty advisor Jim Bollellam, who specializes in Advance Broadcasting Audio Production, helps students with problem-solving and answers questions that club members may have.

Moore Media Records is collaborating with radio station 91.5 The Mountain and the registered student organization Moore Hall Television on a 60-minute music show. About half of the program will be dedicated to live bands and the other 30 minutes is dedicated to speaking with the songwriters.

“I think this is a great way for the student organizations to learn about each other and broaden their background in broadcasting,” Bollella said. “Everyone is excited about it.”

Cafretsas encourages students to join Moore Media Records — saying there are many spots to be filled.

“Many seniors are working in lead positions now, so we will need upcoming students to fill the positions once the seniors graduate,” Cafretsas said.

Ostoich replaces Pelowski as field hockey head coach

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Former Indiana assistant coach Catherine Ostoich was named Central Michigan field hockey's seventh head coach Dec. 15, replacing Molly Pelowski.

Ostoich was a four-year starter at Richmond University during her playing days. She was named to the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Tournament Team twice for the Spiders as a backer.

An experienced defender, Ostoich specialized as a defensive assistant coach at Indiana, which went 6-13 overall.

Similar to CMU, Indiana did not earn a conference win in the 2017 season. Indiana was second to last in the Big 10 Conference with 27 goals conceded and last with only nine goals

Former Indiana University assistant head coach Catherine Ostoich has been named head coach of CMU’s field hockey team for the 2018 season.

scored in 2017.

When introduced as head coach last month, Ostoich laid the foundation and her vision for the program going forward.

“We are going to be a very fit team that does not stop playing

and does not stop working until the final whistle,” Ostoich said.

“Work ethic, fitness and leadership are the foundations of a strong program in my view. Those three traits are what I look for in a student-athlete.”

Ostoich served as head coach for Montana State in 2016 and an assistant coach for Davidson College in North Carolina during the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Montana State was Ostoich's only head coaching job before being hired at CMU. Athletic Director Michael Alford expressed his excitement about Ostoich's hiring.

"She's had success at this level, not only as a player but as a coach," Alford said at Ostoich’s introduction to the athletic department on Jan. 5. "She has a great passion for the sport, she's very knowledgeable about the

game and that really stood out through the interview process."

Pelowski, dismissed as coach on Oct. 26, was the first person let go

by Alford, who started on July 3.

End of the Pelwoski Era In her introductory press conference on Feb. 3, 2015, Pelowski said, “We’re going to be a tough opponent. We’re going to create a culture of competitiveness where teams are going to fear playing Central Michigan University.”

Pelowski compiled a 3-49 record in three seasons and did not earn a win in the 2017 season.

Her team only gained one win in Mount Pleasant in three seasons.

She was on a 31-game losing streak when she was relieved of her coaching duties Oct. 26, one day before the team’s final game.

The Chippewas failed to score a goal in their final 12 games.

CMU finished the season 0-18,

the schools first winless season since gymnastics went 0-7-1 during the 1983-84 season.

According to personnel documents received through a Freedom of Information Act request, Pelowski received a letter of admonishment on May 16, 2016 from former Athletic Director Dave Heeke, who left for Arizona in February 2017.

Pelowski reached out to a recruit via social media before the player was eligible to be recruited, violating NCAA Bylaw 13.4.1.

Although she failed to find success with the Chippewas, Pelowski was under pressure from her superiors. A performance review, performed by Associate Athletic Director Cristy Freese, made note of the team's performance.

"Molly (Pelowski) and her staff need to find a way to get good leadership from all of her

seniors, get the players to support the plan and learn to work together for the team's success," Freese said. "Leadership, team chemistry, and belief in the coaches will be the secret to a successful program. Molly is addressing this with her team and we should see progress this fall."

Pelowski was aware of not being reappointed with notice at least six months prior to contract expiration. This means CMU will be paying Pelowski to not coach the field hockey team until December 2018 if she does not accept a similar position in a different program.

CMU's 2018 field hockey schedule has yet to be announced.

Junior goalkeeper Lily Amadio, sophomore forward Georgina Minta and junior midfielder Kayla McClure will all be returning to the team next season.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Captain, forward Sutherland leads D3 hockey to 13-game winning streak Dalton Sutherland started the season with one goal — win a championship with the Central Michigan Division III hockey team.

Now, the Chippewas are riding a 13game winning streak and Sutherland's preseason goal is now in reach.

The Chippewas rank No. 2 in the American Collegiate Hockey Association North Division with 23 wins. Central Michigan only trails Michigan State, who has a 16-3 record.

According to the latest ACHA rankings, CMU is followed by Sault College, Grand Valley State and Adrian.

Junior forward and assistant captain Sutherland leads the team with 82 points (41 goals and 41 assists). He is also second in ACHA DIII scoring.

Head coach James Cadzow said Sutherland is having the best season of his hockey career.

“He’s having a hell of a year,” Cadzow

said. “His work ethic is great, he works extremely hard and he does exactly what I ask him to do. When he doesn’t live up to the standards, we reflect together and he’ll tell me ‘I got you next time, coach.'”

Sutherland credits his teammates for pushing him and setting him up to be as successful.

“I have to give a lot of credit to my teammates Ryan Tryer and Nathan Algaier for working with me all year,” Sutherland said. “Without them, I wouldn’t be here.

They find me whenever I’m out there.”

Sutherland, who is now in his third year with the team, is excited about the hot start.

“We’ve been dedicated to playing well and doing the little things right," Sutherland said. "It’s helping us achieve our goal of winning a national championship.”

Heavyweight Stencel emerges into starting lineup Wrestler aims for MAC Tournament bid

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Matt Stencel's first wrestling memories include rolling around the living room floor with his brother.

Now, Stencel is wrestling at Central Michigan's nationally-ranked program.

Stencel made his CMU wrestling debut in the season's opening dual meet against Michigan State in November. Stencel proved he belonged in the starting lineup by pinning MSU’s Christian Rebottaro just over a minute into the match.

“It was pretty exciting, especially in front of the home crowd,” Stencel said. “I didn’t want it to be a boring match for everybody and everyone that came to watch me wrestle.”

The Oregon, Ohio native holds a record of 20-

LIFE IN BRIEF

11. He leads the team with 11 pinfall victories this season, two away from tying Kevin Vogel (1988-89 season) and Wynn Michalak (2007-08) for No. 10 all-time in a single season.

Stencel earned a fourth-place finish at the 2017 Michigan State Open and the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships, second-place at the Eastern Michigan open and recently earned the No. 20 ranking at 285 pounds.

Stencel was a four-year letter winner at Oregon Clay High School, accumulating a record of 184-18 while winning two state titles and a runner-up.

CMU was an easy decision for Stencel. His high school coach, Ralph Cubberly, is the father of current CMU assistant Ryan Cubberly.

Stencel often visited CMU during his sophomore year of high school. The heavyweight committed to the Chippewas on Christmas Day in his junior year.

“I liked the coaches, where the program was going.

I was excited (to commit),” Stencel said. “I thought coach Borrelli and the rest of the staff could put me over the top and put me to the next level.”

Even with the success Stencel isn’t entirely pleased with his season so far. When asked how he felt his first

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

ILLINOIS DEFENSIVE END GRADUATE TRANSFER TO VISIT CMU ON FEB. 2 Illinois defensive end Sean Adesanya announced he was going to pursue a graduate transfer on Dec. 15.

Adesanya is looking for other schools, and will be taking an official visit to Central Michigan on Feb. 2.

“I’m excited to see the team, facility and campus,” Adesanya said.

Besides his upcoming visit to Mount Pleasant, Adesayna also has a visit set for Memphis on Jan. 20. He has received interest from CMU, Memphis, Connecticut, Arizona State, Toledo, Iowa State, Washington State and Maryland.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive lineman was limited to seven games over three seasons due to injuries with the Fighting Illini. He made 10 tackles in the 2017 season.

Greg Colby, the defensive coordinator

of the Chippewas, has stressed to Adesanya the opportunity to play immediately due to the departure of NFL prospect defensive end Joe Ostman.

“I’m very interested (in CMU) because of the opportunity to play,” Adesanya said. “I just have a big chance to get in there since the senior defensive end graduated.”

During the 2017 season, Ostman logged 69 tackles, 20.5 tackles for a loss, 14 sacks, and four forced fumbles. He led the Football Bowl Subdivision with 1.27 sacks per game.

The 2017 football team finished with an 8-5 record. The Chippewas lost to Wyoming in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, 37-14.

year was shaping up he said “rough, but expected.”

“I’m working out the bad stuff I do and stuff that doesn’t work, trying to perfect the way I wrestle,” Stencel said. “I try to wrestle aggressive, but smart. I have to get smarter as a wrestler and know how to win a match.”

Stencel finished last season with a 13-9 record while wrestling unattached, earning nine pins and a major decision and finished first in last season’s Alma Open despite a minor ankle injury during the season.

Stencel gives credit for his success to practicing with former NCAA qualifier Newton Smerchek.

“Being able to work with him every day in the (wrestling) room is huge,” Stencel said. “His style of wrestling is very hard to score (points) on. It’s perfect for me, especially at a young age, to have two years with him.”

Despite not being in the lineup Smerchek is proud of Stencel’s success.

“It can be difficult to not be wrestling as much as I would like to be,” Smerchek said. “My mom told me I should be proud if I’m not on the mat and the other heavyweight wrestler is doing a really good job and beating people while helping him.’”

Meyer’s double-double not enough in loss to Ball State

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

The Mid-American Conference's preseason prediction that Central Michigan men's basketball would finish last in the West Division may be coming true.

The Chippewas (12-6, 1-4 MAC) lost to Ball State (12-6, 3-2), 82-76, on Jan. 15 at Worthen Arena despite a double-double from senior forward Luke Meyer, who logged 26 points and 14 rebounds.

CMU has now lost four straight conference games, with its only conference win coming against Ohio on Jan. 2 in McGuirk Arena.

“We worked so hard in this game (against Ball State),” CMU head coach Keno Davis said. “On the positive side, besides Luke Meyer and Kevin McKay, everybody else’s stat lines were just terrible and it’s a two-possession game at the end, so I’m proud of our team.”

Jeremie Tyler led the way for head coach Mike Neu’s squad, scoring 21

points and grabbing three rebounds to pace the Cardinals.

CMU senior guard Josh Kozinski missed the game-opening 3-pointer, which started a negative shooting trend for both teams. Eventually, Ball State senior guard Sean Sellers dropped in a

triple for the first points of the game over two and a half minutes into the game.

Sophomore forward David DiLeo, who leads CMU in minutes played per game, picked up two early fouls, which kept him to limited minutes during the start of the game. He was a non-factor for the Chippewas on offense, only scoring six points.

CMU senior forward Cecil Williams helped the Chippewas battle for the entire first half. He had a team-high 11 points and six rebounds at halftime.

Paving the way in a 37-31 first half edge, Ball State provided nine assists on 12 made shots. The Chippewas struggled to score 3-pointers, going 2-for-13 in the first half.

“We tried to give a little more help to our post in the zone,” Davis said. “Kozinski’s one of those guys who normally isn’t in that position. Unfortunately, we couldn’t play him for 40 minutes out there, but he was really helping us.”

Meyer opened the second half scoring by five straight points, cutting Ball State’s lead to four, 40-36, with 18:43 left in the game.

Ball State built a nine-point lead, but back-to-back layups from Meyer and sophomore guard Kevin McKay dropped CMU’s deficit to only five points, 45-40, with 15:50 left in the game.

Junior center Trey Moses answered and gave Ball State a 49-40 lead. A following jumper by junior guard Tayler Persons pushed the Cardinals’ lead to 11 points with 12:58 left in the game.

Moses and Persons scored 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Ball State. Moses’ effort included 11 rebounds and two assists, which earned him a double-double.

Luke Meyer scored two straight 3-pointers, trimming CMU's deficit to 65-61 with 5:34 remaining in the contest.

CMU trailed by six points following scores from Meyer and McKay, but a layup from sophomore forward Tahjai Teague with 1:02 left helped Ball State put the game away and eventually earn an 82-76 victory.

In the Chippewa loss, junior guard Shawn Roundtree dropped in 16 points and six assists, while Williams scored

14 points, but turned the ball over seven times.

“We see more of that and Luke’s going to have a tough decision at the end of the year with whether he wants to keep his basketball career or go right into engineering,” Davis said.

In spite of being outrebounded, Ball State managed to shoot the ball at an extremely high rate, going 29-of-58 from the field and 10-of-27 from 3-point range.

The Chippewas, on the other hand, only converted 36.1 percent of their field goals.

“Winning by 21 rebounds is a number,” Davis said. “In our last three games, we lost all three on the boards.

We said that’s not going to happen because of effort. By going that hard (in rebounds), we might not have been able to flow as well offensively.”

CMU will remain on the road, heading to the Stroh Center to play Bowling Green at 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 before returning home to McGuirk Arena for a battle against Miami (Ohio) at 7 p.m. on Jan. 23.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | JAN. 18, 2018

Former student Morris trains for Pro Day in March

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Since he was young, Shane Morris dreamed of playing in the National Football League.

Out of De La Salle Collegiate High School in Warren, Morris committed to the University of Michigan as a four-star quarterback.

Following three seasons at Michigan, Morris earned his bachelor's degree and transferred to Central Michigan University to use his final year of eligibility.

“Central Michigan was an awesome experience for me to get a different look on college coming from Michigan,” Morris said. “It was an awesome experience to be with the guys in the summer, meeting new guys, making new friends, and building relationships with players, coaches, strength staff and people around the university.”

Now, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound pro-style quarterback is dropping everything to take his shot at playing professionally.

“I started my master’s program (at CMU) in project management, but I don’t plan to finish it until I need to move up in my career,” Morris said. “I’m just done with school and training here (Miami) before heading back for Pro Day. Then, I’ll be working out in Mount Pleasant until the NFL Draft.”

Morris was on scholarship for the Fall 2017 semester, in which he was a graduate student, said Jim Knight, Assistant Athletic Director for Communications and Marketing.

Morris packed his bags and moved to Miami in late December to train for 2018 Pro Day, which takes place in Mount Pleasant during March.

He is working out with trainer

Pete Bommarito of Bommarito Performance Systems.

“They train everybody down here,” Morris said. “Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown come down here. Le’Veon Bell too. He does the NFL Draft prep as well.”

As a trainer, Bommarito helped prepare Eli Manning for the 2004 NFL Draft, in which the quarterback was selected No. 1 overall. Morris, knowing he needs to hone his craft for Pro Day, has stuck to a rigorous schedule in hopes of making it to the NFL. “I get going at 6:30 a.m. for workouts, treatment, more workouts, and then I’ll throw,” Morris said. “It’s 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. pretty much every day. It starts at 6:30, so I’m up at like 5:50 a.m.”

Since his time in Miami, Morris has already bonded with old friends. He worked out with a few former Michigan players, including Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt.

“Those are my best friends,” Morris said. “I roomed with them in college (at Michigan).

We keep in touch and they were happy for me and said they watched every game.

They’re just happy I got an

opportunity to play and have the opportunity to continue playing as well.”

Morris is only asking NFL scouts for one chance.

“I want to get into camp,” Morris said. “Once I get to camp, I know I’ll do fine. I’m just looking for a shot. I’ve been working hard for it and these next two months are going to be really difficult. I’m excited for the opportunities to get in an NFL camp and show what I can do.”

During the 2017 season for CMU, Morris completed 249of-446 passes for 3,237 yards, 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

“I love the opportunity I was given from (head coach John) Bonamego and (offensive coordinator Chris) Ostrowsky,” Morris said. “I thought the season went really well. We got eight wins, did some great things, and got better as the season went on.

“I had so much fun this year, just playing again. I haven’t been a starter since high school, so to be the guy week in and week out for a group of guys was awesome for me. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

Morris said he has heard from NFL scouts around the league and believes he will end up in

training camp with one of the 32 teams in the league. Right now, the Canadian Football League and Arena Football League are

not an option for Morris.

“Hopefully an opportunity presents itself to be picked up in free agency or the draft if I

am lucky enough,” Morris said.

“I’m really excited for this next opportunity and I’m going to make the most out of it.”
