Campbell Hall residents feeling ‘oddly normal’ following shooting

By Emma Dale Community Editor news@cm-life.com

With a vacation to begin and no Friday classes, many students left Central Michigan University's campus March 1 to begin their spring break.

Among these students were roommates of Troy sophomore Adie Harig.

In her room alone on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall, Harig said she could hardly sleep that night since she was the only person there.

Being alone always makes her paranoid, she said, Throughout the night she frequently woke up with the suspicion she had heard something and check to make sure the door was locked.

Sometime after 8 a.m. March 2, Harig woke up to text some friends. Moments later she heard what she described as a series of “popping” noises.

“Immediately I was like 'those are gunshots,' but then I was like ‘you’re being paranoid’ because all last night I thought I had heard people trying (to open) my door,” she said. “Then I heard someone try my door and I was like ‘stop being crazy’, and then I must have fallen back asleep, I don’t remember.”

An hour later, police were knocking on her door. Harig suddenly came to the realization of what had occurred only a few doors down from hers.

For Harig, and many other Campbell Hall residents, March 2 was filled with fear, emotion and chaos after police say James Eric Davis Jr. shot and killed his parents, James Eric Davis Sr. and Diva Davis, on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall.

When police went door-todoor on the fourth floor interviewing residents — asking them their names and details of what they had heard — Harig said she was so freaked out she couldn’t

even spell her middle name for the police officer.

Finally being able to leave the residence hall that afternoon, Harig said walking outside with the suspected shooter still at large was terrifying.

“I have never been so scared in my entire life,” she said.

Although they weren't in Campbell Hall that day, Harig’s roommates — Harbor Beach sophomore Paige Woody, Grand Rapids sophomore Dominique Bayonne and Howell sophomore Kirsten Phifer — were just as scared. In the beginning, they were uncertain if Harig was OK. The day of chaos extended not only to the residents of Campbell Hall but to their family members.

Harig said when she talked to her mom that morning while on lockdown, her mom was crying so hard she thought she was

going to throw up. Concerned for her safety, Harig said her dad advised her to barricade the room with a chair.

Harig and her roommates said that while they lived on the same floor as suspected shooter, Davis Jr., they had never encountered him.

After a week away from campus and coming back to a place where tragedy struck, Harig and Woody said it didn’t feel as they expected it to.

“I kind of expected something to be different or eerie at least.

But when I came back it was just oddly normal,” Woody said. “Everything felt the exact same (like it did on) Thursday night when I left. I thought it was going to be really disturbing to know what happened here.”

With a feeling of unfamiliarity, Harig said the hall didn’t feel ex-

actly how it did before. Although her day was traumatic March 2, she said she has felt better in the days following.

“I honestly feel more weird about how normal I feel, even the day after I was like I feel like I should be more freaked out, but I’m laughing at what my friends

are saying and able to eat food, and I slept last night," she said. “Life still happens between the parts where you’re feeling freaked out, that’s not something you should feel guilty for.”

In the aftermath of this incident, Bayonne is wondering why there isn’t a strict plan in place for

what to do if something like this happens again.

“For the most part we’ve only really gotten a few emails about it (which said) there are resources available, but no one has come to actually talk to us about what happened,” she said. “We didn’t even get any information (coming back) about the floors being open. My question is, if it hadn’t been spring break what were the steps (the university) would have taken?”

Bayonne said they have never received any information about what they are supposed do if a shooting occurs on campus, especially in close quarters like Campbell Hall.

“Counseling services help, but my (concern) is more the action that I’m supposed to take, as a student who lives on campus,” Bayonne said.

Woody said she hasn’t talked to a lot of people on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall since the shooting occurred. She feels that most people are doing OK. The four roommates said coming back Sunday and heading back up to their room after break, they were joking around and made each other feel calm.

“This is still a really great (university) and a great community.

We are all really strong people,” Woody said. “As long as we can just hold on to the fact that we got through this and we can still get through it and we’ll be fine.”

Counseling center sees expanded services, increase in clients many students as possible, taking into account that everyone reacts to stressful and traumatic situations differently.

The extended services include a daily session called “Weathering a Crisis,” which takes place 3-5 p.m. in Foust Hall room 135. It teaches students practical skills that will help them manage their emotional response to the March 2 incident, Hutchinson said.

Foust 135 also provides a daily gathering space with therapy dogs 4-7 p.m. A “touchstone” art project will allow visitors of the Counseling Center to create small mementos to help keep them emotionally grounded during stressful situations, Hutchinson said.

Students have been responding well to the expansion of services at the Counseling Center, with each day seeing more visitors than the last, said Melissa Hutchinson, Interim Director of Counseling Services.

Offered in the aftermath of the March 2 double homicide in Campbell Hall, the expanded services include daily stress-relief activities and the extension of the center’s hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. through next week. These extended hours end March 23.

Hutchinson said the Counseling Center is offering a variety of activities to serve as

people process and share more freely without feeling uncomfortable doing so,” Hutchinson said. “We just wanted to create a space for students to be comfortable coming and sharing with their peers.”

Though the extended services will stop being offered after next week, Hutchinson said the Counseling Center’s recent acquisition of Foust 135 opens opportunities for expanded services in the future.

“We had hoped to have this room ready so we could expand our programming for this summer and next year,” Hutchinson said. “Due to the events of March 2, many campus partners came together to support us and we got the room ready for students to use in two days (during spring break).”

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

3 FORUMS SCHEDULED NEXT WEEK FOR UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SEARCH Students, faculty and staff will have the chance to weigh in on the search for Central Michigan University’s 15th president.

Forums regarding the presidential search are scheduled for March 22-23. An open forum for the campus community takes place from 5-5:45 p.m. March 22 in French Auditorium in the Education and Human Services Building. A forum for just students takes place from 7-7:45 p.m. March 22 in French Auditorium.

Another open forum takes place from 11-11:45 a.m. March 23 in Powers Ballroom — located on the second floor of Powers Hall.

Those who cannot attend the forums may submit comments to presidentialsearch@ cmich.edu. A website providing information about the search committee, search firm and process was launched March 12.

The forums were announced in a March 13 University Communications press release.

In January, President George Ross announced he would step down July 31.

William Weideman, board of trustees chair, announced a presidential search advisory

committee would be appointed and trustee Tricia Keith would chair that committee.

The presidential search advisory committee was appointed by the CMU Board of Trustees.

Witt/Kieffer was selected as the presidential search firm.

According to the March 13 release, the presidential search committee “is charged with identifying and soliciting the best candidates for the position of president but first must develop a leadership profile and position prospectus.” Forums allow the campus community to offer input on the qualifications for president.

At the Feb. 15 board meeting, trustees voted to adopt a confidentiality statement for the presidential search advisory committee.

In the release, the university announced that targeted forums will be scheduled with members of the Academic Senate, alumni board, advancement board and senior leadership team.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

Students, staff must fight against rising costs of transparency on campus

S

unshine Week is devoted to promoting Freedom of Information laws across the country.

For us it’s a time to emphasize the importance of open government in Michigan public education — and to remind readers that state universities must follow the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings acts just like public school districts have to.

Our Freedom of Information Act regulates and sets requirements for the disclosure of public records by public bodies within the state of Michigan.

State law defines a public record as “a writing prepared, owned, used, in the possession of, or retained by a public body in the performance of an official function, from the time it is created.”

Sunshine Laws are not for journalists – these laws are for everyone in Michigan to take advantage of. These laws are why you are able to get the minutes from a city council meeting. It’s why police must give the media copies of reports on campus assaults.

These laws give you, the public, the opportunity to address the board of trustees before every meeting.

FOIA is a tool that reporters use to get documents to produce journalism. First we request specific in-

EDITORIAL

formation. If that request is granted, a cost estimate is provided – at CMU you must pay half in advance.

When the information is collected you pay the balance and receive the information.

These requests are always between $50 and $200 – and sometimes cost more. The state FOIA – one of the weakest in the nation according to the Center For Public Integrity – allows government agencies to charge citizens to fulfill a request. We don’t necessarily disagree with that (although agencies also can choose to waive all fees) but we often disagree with how much they charge for providing public information.

So today we are asking Central Michigan University to stop charging students to fill FOIA requests.

Tuition funds roughly 75 percent of CMU’s operations. We are already paying. Why should we be charged again to receive information about how our university is running?

The state law says an institution can charge the person requesting records for the cost of the employee needed to gather information and for the paper it is printed on (electronic copies can also be requested). The truth is we are already paying that person’s salary. Why should we have to pay it a second time?

You deserve to know what’s being done with your money. You deserve to know what’s going on behind closed doors – the difference between CMU

announcing a dean is “retiring” versus the dean agreeing to leave with an almost $300,000 separation agreement.

This request for free public information for students might seem self-serving. However, the No. 1 piece of feedback we get from student readers is that you want to see us do more investigative reporting.

We would love to be able to do that, and this policy change would help us. We aren’t “charged extra” when we speak with academic advisers, success coaches or counselors. Our tuition keeps this place running – why should students pay additional fees to work with CMU’s legal department?

The fact is most students can’t afford to pay for a Freedom of Information request once it is granted.

CMU has the ability to be fully transparent with students — in fact, we urge them to do so. The idea of charging for information we, for all intents and purposes, already paid for is absurd.

We are asking the Student Government Association to pass a bill encouraging the university to waive all FOIA fees for students . This SGA administration has has shown us it wants to put the needs of students first.

Ask the university to support student rights – our right to know.

We are asking CMU’s board of trustees to also approve this policy change.

You have much more to gain from this than lose.

To combat white supremacy, let’s celebrate each other When I came home to the Lansing area for spring break, I was in a bind.

Richard Spencer was speaking at Michigan State University on March 5. I wanted to stand against him and let it be known Lansing cannot, and will not, stand for such disgusting rhetoric.

Still, I was concerned about directly protesting: what if that fed into white supremacists’ persecution complex?

I saw an interesting alternative being held at the same time: the Celebration of Diversity Festival.

Supported by organizations from Black Lives Matter Lansing to MSU College Republicans, the festival included live music, a performance by Lansing Poet Laureate Dennis Hinrichsen, crafts for children, food and tables from nonprofit organizations standing up for the oppressed.

So this was how I resisted: I joined hundreds of others across the community to show our support and to celebrate each other at the festival.

Rob Linsley

Staff Reporter

Together, we sent a clear message: diversity is a major part of what makes Lansing great.

White supremacists argue that predominantly white cultures have supposedly contributed greater things to the world. “(White people) don’t gain anything from (other races’) presence,” Richard Spencer said in his infamous National Policy Institute speech. “They need us and not the other way around.”

This, of course, is ridiculous. We all need each other and can enrich each others’ lives.

Our lives are all the more wonderful for the people we meet who are different from us.

This is also true beyond interpersonal interactions.

Even if white supremacy wasn’t clearly mor-

ally reprehensible, it would be laughable simply from observing cultural contributions.

Indeed, my whole life I’ve loved finding new genres of music and hearing the different scales, rhythms and instruments of different cultures’ music. As a percussionist, I’ve had a blast playing other cultures’ instruments from the West African djembe to the Chinese gong.

Each culture’s instruments add unique textures and emotions, and we are lucky to live in an age with greater access to different cultures’ music.

I am thrilled for the opportunity to perform for Delta Omicron’s World Music Day on March 17. I will get to celebrate my heritage through playing Irish folk music on my accordion. Even better, I will get the chance to encounter art that is unfamiliar to me. The event will be an opportunity for us to celebrate countless artistic contributions from across the world.

Truly, we need to actively listen to voices different from our own and celebrate these contributions.

Moreover, we need to amplify accomplishments beyond those done by white heterosexual men. As a queer man, I only learned to love myself after I found stories of amazing artists and scientists who were like me.

The more we surround ourselves with beauty from around the globe, the harder it will be for any bigotry to sneak into our hearts.

The more we celebrate humankind’s incredible diversity, the easier it will be to resist hate.

Thankfully, CMU and Mount Pleasant give us plenty of opportunities for this. Visit the Ziibiwing Center to learn more about Native American history. Log into OrgSync and take a look at the many cultural registered student organizations that promote awareness and understanding. Join me for World Music Day or attend one of the many other cultural events held on campus throughout the year.

Together, we can celebrate each other and resist hate.

Reporting on tragedies is a humbling experience When the battery of my phone died at about 10:15 a.m. on March 2, I breathed a sigh of relief.

It’d be a strange reaction to that scenario in any situation, but even more so given the circumstances: by that time, I was already an hour deep into covering the shooting in Campbell Hall that claimed the lives of Diva Davis and James Davis Sr. It meant that I would be facing what was potentially the most dangerous situation I had encountered in my journalism career without the ability to stay in contact with my peers.

It also meant I could stop worrying about a phone that was being bombarded by notifications from loved ones. At least momentarily, I could stop answering the frantic calls and messages from friends and family asking if I was OK. It meant I could stop answering that question with some refrain of “Yes, I’m alive, but no, I haven’t taken shelter because I’m following the police around wherever they go as they look for the suspect.”

During the first true “lockdown” scenario I’ve experienced while at Central Michigan University, when many of my peers were forced to stay within cramped classrooms

Mitchell Kukulka Community Editor

and residence halls across campus for nearly six hours, I chose to run toward a potentially dangerous situation.

I had a similar experience this past summer, when I was among a small team of CM Lifers covering the historic June 22, 2017 flooding in Isabella County.

When large swaths of the community I had called home for the past few years was overtaken by flood water, I regularly found myself in the middle of the chaos.

I took a Facebook Live video of the Chippewa River as it swelled well past its usual waterline.

I spoke with residents of apartment complexes in front of their homes after they had been drowned from the inside out. People who watched as when flood waters forced sewage lines to back up into the building.

I spoke at length with a mother and her children taking residence in a Red Cross shelter set up in a local high school after she

lost her second house in less than a month to the flooding.

In both instances, while I may have occasionally feared for my safety, never once did I question the importance of what I was doing.

I didn’t wish for a second that I was doing anything else.

In both instances, as stressful as they were, I knew I had the support of my fellow journalists and the community. People that relied on my ability to do my job to the utmost of my abilities so it could stay informed and stay safe during times of crisis.

I’ve covered plenty of stories that I’m proud of, but these were the stories that made me truly realize and appreciate the service I could provide to those around me through my chosen profession.

When I came the CMU to pursue an education in journalism, I came with the goal of exploring the communities around me and learning about the people within them.

Through the act of engaging with a community during its times of crisis, I’ve found not only a more intimate and sincere way of getting to know the world around me, but also renewed purpose as both a journalist and a person.

UNIVERSITY THEATRE TO PRESENT COMEDY “THE COUNTRY WIFE” Hypocrisy and foolishness will be acted out by the University Theatre in the 17th century comedy, "The Country Wife."

The show will take place at 7:30 p.m.

March 21-24 and 2 p.m. March 25 at the Bush Theatre. "The Country Wife" was originally written in 1675 by William Wycherley as a satire of aristocratic and anti-puritan ideology.

Communication and Dramatic Arts faculty member Keeley Stanley will be directing the play and its cast of 16 Central Michigan University students.

Stanley said the play will feature extravagant costumes and is going to be will a visually appealing experience for the audience.

Stanley will be collaborating with scenic and lighting designer Paul Collins and costume designer Ann Dasen.

The original play takes place in 1665 London. The story follows three plots revolving around Mrs. Pinchwife, a naive woman from

the country, trying to escape from her jealous husband from the city.

Mrs. Pinchwife defies her husband by exploring the city and getting involved with the local “rakes" — an English term for a womanizer.

CMU Theatre will perform a modern-day approach of the play by having it take place in the 21st Century. For example, older literature props have been replaced with Playboy magazine and the book "50 Shades of Grey."

Stanley wanted her students to perform the play because restoration comedy — a type of performance known for its raunchy and witty dialogue, popularized in the era when “The Country Wife” first came out — is a difficult style, she said. She said she believes the play explores different perspectives on gender roles and sexuality.

At a work session following the City Commission’s March 12 meeting, discussions about the medical marijuana facilities ordinance draft ended with little resolution.

This was the second work session this year, following an initial session on Feb. 12.

Among the discussed topics were annual fees, civil infraction violations, the lottery and vetting system for applications and the buffer zone around Central Michigan University.

Commissioners were tasked with creating a fine that would accompany a civil infraction violation of the ordinance for each offense.

Commissioners had a hard time agreeing on amounts. Commissioner William Joseph was comfortable with $50 for a first offense, but no more than $5,000. Commissioner Lori Gillis thought $50 was too low, but agreed $5,000 was too much for a first offense.

Commissioner Tony Kulick viewed $50 as too low and was opposed to the idea of the first offense being a warning.

The commission discussed setting up the lottery application system — which decides who will receive licenses from the city — to favor local residents over non-residents who apply.

They also asked the city staff to rewrite the language concerning the buffer zones, that limit where facilities can be. Currently, they have decided on a 1,000 foot buffer for K-12 schools and 500 feet for CMU. However, the language was unclear as to whether that meant any and all universityowned buildings, or if the buffer would extend from property lines. The commissioners did decide that the CMU Global Campus building located on Industrial Drive, would not be included in the buffer.

After the medical marijuana facilities ordinance draft is reviewed by the Planning Commission, a hearing will take place. The tentative date for the hearing is May 3.

The commission also passed a resolution supporting the local March For Our Lives event at 1 p.m. March 24 at Island Park. The local event will be part of a national demonstration created by survivors of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida and is meant to bring attention to gun violence and gun control.

Portage senior Brandon Darsow, one of the

“The point of our march, unlike the broader March For Our Lives movement, is not to push specifically for gun control or reform — our point is to create and facilitate healthy conversation.”

BRANDON DARSOW PORTAGE , SENIOR

nine co-organizers of the local march, came to the meeting to promote the event.

“The point of our march, unlike the broader March For Our Lives movement, is not to push specifically for gun control or reform — our point is to create and facilitate healthy conversation,” Darsow said.

The meeting also featured a discussion on the removal of a roofed structure on the south side of Broadway Street that serves as a bus stop, and a public hearing on an ordinance to amend the regulation of private swimming pools.

The amendment specifically deals with the drainage of swimming pools, which may contain chemicals, such as chlorine.

The ordinance recommends the preferred method of draining pools is to use the sanitary sewer system. In this case, the individual would likely have to set something up to direct the water inside their home.

A proposed plan would remove the bus shelter and replace the road-side area with parallel parking spaces.

Rick Collins, Executive Director of Isabella County Transportation Commission, spoke out against the removal of structure.

“The thought was that if people are getting picked up at Motorless Motion, Marty’s Bar, the Brass (Café and Saloon), or wherever it is – the library – then is the bus shelter necessary, because people are waiting in buildings,” Mayor Allison Quast-Lents said. “We certainly didn’t have the information we have now.”

Collins said the reserved road-side space is necessary for assisting people with disabilities and wheelchairs because it allows space for ramps and equipment. Adding parallel parking spaces there will make access more difficult due to lack of space, Collins said.

Through contributions like projects in Island Park and innovative changes within the parks and recreation department, alumnus Chris Bundy has been making the most out of his nearly three decades serving the City of Mount Pleasant.

Now, Bundy's work is being recognized.

Bundy's hard work has recently earned him the statewide 2018 Park Resource Leadership Award, which he received in February, having received the same award in 1994.

The award, presented by Michigan Recreation and Park Association (mParks), is awarded to individuals who demonstrate outstanding contributions in maintenance practice, equipment management and resource development. “(Bundy) strives to set a good example and be an out-of-the-box thinker,” said City Manager Nancy Ridley in a Feb. 22 press release.

“He is most certainly deserving of recognition for the tremendous support and exemplary leadership he provides for all things related to parks and recreation in our community.”

Before he graduated from CMU — double majoring in therapeutic recreation and community recreation — Bundy was a seasonal employee for recreation services. After he graduated and had begun graduate school, he was hired at Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation as the recreation coordinator. From there, he became the recreation director, and is now the parks director.

He met his wife Rebecca, also a recreation graduate from CMU, and has been in Mount

Pleasant since.

“We decided to stay here because we love the community,” Bundy said. “I could be considered a townie because I’ve been here 35-40 years now.”

CHRIS BUNDY Bundy attributes his mParks award to the passionate staff and community members of Mount Pleasant, for helping make his job easier.

“I’m fortunate to work in a community where people are very passionate about their parks,” Bundy said. “That’s a huge part of why I love working here in the city of Mount Pleasant. I work with a lot of great people.”

Bundy's contributions to the city include work on the original build of the Timber Town playscape at Island Park in 1994, and its 2017 rebuild.

“I really learned a lot from the original project,” Bundy said. “It was somewhat challenging to take an iconic thing that had been with our community for more than 20 years and rebuild it.”

Bundy's kids grew up with the original playscape, and now his grandkids will enjoy the rebuild, so Bundy witnessed firsthand how the community will benefit from his work.

He also led the construction of the Access to Adventure Trail in 2009, which is part of the GKB Riverwalk that connects five of the city’s parks along the Chippewa River.

In 2013, Bundy reduced the use of motorized carts in favor for bicycles with trailers for daily maintenance tasks in the city parks with the Green Maintenance Bike Initiative.

The initiative gained statewide recognition.

“I’ve been more of a facilitator in getting projects done, than a leader in getting projects done,” Bundy said. “Just because there’s so much passion in our community about parks.”

For him, one of the most exciting projects was incorporating the skate park into Island Park in 2002. Having little knowledge of skateboarding, Bundy worked with the passionate skate community at the time.

“If there’s that passion there, you’re going to get everything else,” Bundy said. “You’ll find the money – you’ll figure it out, when you have that many people fired up about something.”

For the project, Bundy worked with the owner of American Ramp Company, which he says is now a multi-million-dollar company.

They brought ramps into Island Park to let the kids test them. After presentations and hard work, the skate park was open for use.

“It was a defining moment in my mind when I saw these young guys and their passion toward this project,” Bundy said. “They put it all to-

gether and made it happen — it inspired me.”

Bundy is working with a Mount Pleasant high school student, Taylor Idema, who won United Way’s "Pitch-er This" competition for her idea of an amphitheater.

United Way awarded Idema $5,000, which the city matched with another $5,000. She then approached a number of agencies and individuals, to put together a passport grant worth $75,000, which the city matched with another $75,000.

“Overall there’s about $200,000 available for this amphitheater all from one pitch that started with $5,000,” Bundy said.

Bundy hopes the amphitheater project will be done before the end of the year. They are looking at locating it in Island Park.

Bundy also received the 1994 mParks Recreation Leadership Award.

“I feel proud about the things we’ve been able to accomplish in the parks that people can enjoy for generations,” Bundy said.

CHIPS TARGET UPS Women’s basketball battles LSU in first round of NCAA Tournament

By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

O

n her way to the NCAA Tournament selection show watch party at Hunter’s Ale House March 12, head coach Sue Guevara of the Central Michigan women’s basketball team heard a familiar tune come on the radio.

As a graduate of Ohio State University, Guevara knew it immediately.

“Hang on Sloopy,” a chart topper by the McCoys in 1965, has been a staple of the Ohio State marching band routine at football games for more than 50 years. It’s even recognized by Ohio’s government as the official rock song of the state.

Guevara took this as a sign. She thought her team would play their first NCAA Tournament game since 2013 at her alma mater in Columbus, Ohio.

On March 12 in a packed Hunter’s Ale House, that sign became reality.

“I’m superstitious,” Guevara said. “I know that song. I thought, ‘That’s a sign. We’re going to Columbus.’”

As the recently crowned Mid-American Conference Tournament Champions, CMU received its automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 11 seed in the Spokane Region. The team won a school-record 28 games this season in the 50th anniversary of the program.

The No. 11 Chippewas (28-4, 17-1 MAC) will face off against No. 6 LSU (19-9, 11-5 Southeastern Conference) at 11 a.m.

March 17 at St. John Arena in Columbus. It marks the fourth time in program history CMU has made the field of 68 for the NCAA Tournament, with previous appearances in 1983, 1984 and 2013.

“It’s really exciting,” said junior Reyna Frost, who was named Most Valuable Player of the 2018 MAC Tournament. “This is

Central Michigan women’s basketball players Aleah Swary, Maddy Watters and Kyra Bussell cheer during the game against Buffalo on March 10 at Quicken

something you dream about as a kid. All the hard work that got us to this moment, you can see that it’s paying off.”

For senior and MAC Player of the Year Tinara Moore, the opportunity to play so close to home in Columbus is perfect. It allows fans and parents to travel and watch CMU play on a national stage.

“I’m so happy we’re going to Columbus,” Moore said. “It’s only like a four or five hour drive. I know we’ll have our fans down there. I’m super excited.”

THE MATCHUP CMU enters Saturday’s game ranked No. 15 in the nation in rating percentage index (RPI). LSU is coming off a quarterfinal loss in the SEC Tournament to Texas A&M. The Tigers enter Saturday as the No. 24-ranked team in the nation, according to the AP Poll.

The Tigers have played some powerhouse teams this season,

including the defending national champions, South Carolina.

LSU lost 57-48 on Feb. 22. LSU has played nine games against teams in the current Top 50 RPI, and it has won four.

CMU has only played in six Top 50 matchups. Five of those were against Buffalo and Ball State. The Chippewas are 4-2 in those games this season.

“We’ve seen a lot of different things that teams have thrown at us,” Frost said. “We know that LSU has to find a way to stop us.

Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer Redshirt freshman guard Micaela Kelly and head coach Sue Guevara watch in anticipation as they wait for the announcement of their seed in the NCAA Tournament on March 12 at Hunter’s Ale House.

We have a lot of different weapons offensively. It’s going to be really cool to see what we can do.”

Compared to the Chippewas, LSU is a worse free throw and 3-point shooting team, coming in at 61.5 percent and 27 percent, respectively. Currently, the Chippewas are the No. 3 team in the nation for free throw shooting percentage at 80 percent, along with the 12th best 3-point shooting percentage at 38.4 percent.

Where the Tigers lack in offensive prowess, they make up for in

defense. LSU has held its opponents to just 61 points per game.

Points from 3-point range have been a staple of CMU’s play.

More than 38 percent of all attempted shots come from 3-point range. LSU has held teams to 27.5 percent shooting from 3-point range.

pressure you,” Guevara said. “We’ve faced that.

That’s what our nonconference and conference has gotten us ready for.”

STORIED NCAA HISTORY Over the course of LSU’s 43 years as a women’s basketball program, the Tigers have made the NCAA Tournament 26 times. Of those appearances, LSU has made it to the Sweet Sixteen 14 times, along with five trips to the Final Four.

Nikki Vargas, in her seventh season as head coach, will make her sixth appearance in the NCAA Tournament against CMU. Vargas is 5-5 in the NCAA Tournament at LSU. For Guevara, the game will be her fifth time coaching in the “Big Dance.” The veteran coach has advanced from of the Round of 64 just once in 2001 at the University of Michigan.

“We have to keep our players on task, not too high and not too low,” Guevara said. “We need to focus on what it’s going to take for us

to keep dancing.”

Despite the lack of tournament experience, Frost pointed out that the culture and chemistry of “Team 50” will make up for it.

“We’re a family,” Frost said. “Those are the kinds of teams that go on runs in March because you don’t play for yourself, you play for the person on your left and right.”

JUST ANOTHER GAME Guevara constantly preaches the ability to maintain composure and take each game one at a time.

“This is the next biggest game they’re going to play,” Guevara said. “We’re going to keep doing the same thing and not make it any bigger than it is.”

For Moore, this game means just a little bit more than others.

“Everyone on our team wants it,” Moore said.

“We know this is our year, we have to do something big this year and we’re going to go far in this tournament.”

If CMU wins, the Chippewas will take on the winner of third seed Ohio State (27-6, 13-3 Big Ten) and 14th seed George Washington (1913, 10-6 Atlantic 10) March 19 in Columbus.

The School of Music will put on a performance of W.S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s satirical opera “The Mikado” featuring the Central Michigan University Symphony Orchestra in Staples Family Concert Hall this weekend.

“The Mikado” is a political romantic comedy mocking Victorian England’s political climate and bureaucracy through a story involving arranged marriages and executions.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. March 16-17 and 2 p.m. March 18.

Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and seniors. Tickets can be purchased at the Central Box Office or by calling (989) 774-3045.

“The Mikado” has memorable music and a clever script, said director Jeffrey Springer.

CMU Symphony Conductor José-Luis Maúrtua called it an “approachable opera.”

“The music is very appealing (and) very understandable for most audiences,”

Maúrtua said.

“The Mikado” has breaks between musical numbers instead of the continuous music most operas have, Maúrtua said.

“The Mikado” has a history of racial controversy. Instead of the original Japanese setting, the School of Music’s version will take place in 1950s America.

Some people have read the original work as mocking Japanese culture, but other readings suggest it was “satirizing or making fun of British society but disguised as Japanese characters,” Maúrtua said.

“Gilbert and Sullivan set ‘The Mikado’ in Japan to poke fun at that fad and put a mirror up to elitist society,” Springer said. “Gilbert and Sullivan were controversial in their day for lampooning the establishment and making fun of prejudice and closed-mindedness.”

SGA legislation pushes for polling place on campus news@cm-life.com

Quinn Kirby | Staff Photographer Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Jake Hendricks speaks at an SGA meeting in the Bovee University Center Auditorium on Feb. 12.

Central Michigan University is the only university in the state without a polling place on its campus, said alumnus and Mount Pleasant resident Matt Mertz.

"I used to vote at Moore Hall," he said. "I think that stopped around '78 or '80. (The administration) would say people didn't vote on campus."

Mertz recalls the administration's comment was true, but says Mount Pleasant had 14 polling places during that time. Now, the city has seven.

The Student Government Association's Governmental Affairs Committee is writing legislation pushing for the return of a polling place to campus to promote student voting.

SGA senator and Governmental Affairs Committee Chair Jake Hendricks is writing the legislation and says community polling places may be a hassle for students with busy schedules.

The legislation will be introduced and discussed at the SGA meeting on March 19 with a vote to

"There's a lot of levers to pull in order to get this to happen," he said. "They need to fill (the City Commission liaison position). If they don't, the governmental affairs committee is going to need to advocate more."

Joseph said if SGA gets the City Commission to consider the resolution, it would have his vote, but also added, "one vote out of seven doesn't get anything done."

Farwell senior Abigail Averill said not having a polling place on campus gives the impression officials don't care about the student vote.

“Where we have voting offices is a key indicator of what (the city’s) priorities are," she said. "Whose opinions do we care about?"

Novi senior Sara Hammelef doesn't think a polling place on campus is necessary.

"The only people a polling place on campus would be advantageous to would be people who live in Mount Pleasant," she said. "I don't know this, but I'm pretty sure that's not the majority of students. Obviously there are students who live here that this would be advantageous to, but that population is very small.”

Hendricks also said SGA will be pushing for support from CMU as an institution and community to strengthen their power to bring the resolution to the Mount Pleasant City Commission.

Mertz thinks the organization is going about the issue in the wrong order, he said.

"They should be asking the city," Mertz said.

"The university has no control over it whatsoever."

Mertz said SGA should be guaranteed implementation of its resolution by the city before it takes any other action.

CMU student and Mount Pleasant City Commissioner William Joseph supports the legislation, but shares Mertz's opinion regarding SGA's planned method of application if the resolution passes in the organization.

Joseph stressed the importance of a good relationship between SGA and the City Commission, commenting on SGA's current lack of a City Commission liaison and saying the liaison is a key component in the communication and relationship between the commission and SGA.

College of Health Professions faculty receive CETL awards

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For the first time since 2015, three professors from the College of Health Professions will be honored with teaching awards.

Each year, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) honors five faculty members with Teaching Excellence Awards to encourage professors to be creative and innovative when teaching students.

The 2017-18 winners are: • Cheryl Geisthardt, Human Environmental Studies • Steven Gorsich, Biology • Karen Grossnickle, Physical Therapy Program • Roop Jayaraman, School of Health Sciences • Tom Kozal, School of Health Sciences, recipient of 2018 Lorrie Ryan Memorial Award Kozal was the recipient of two teaching awards: the Teaching Excellence Award and the Lorrie Ryan Memorial Award, which is given to one professor who succeeds in building a sense of community within a learning environment and being a mentor.

All three professors were sur-

prised with the news during class.

“I had just started going over the study guide with my HSC 106 students and they came rushing in with balloons, Oreos and letters for both of the awards, and announced right there, in front of my entire class of 350 students,” Kozal said.

Jayaraman teaches large classes, some with 150 students, so he had to come up with creative ways to stay connected with his students and make sure they are learning everything they need.

With his undergraduate students, he requires them to set up study groups. He designates a leader for each group, who reports to him so he can hear straight from students how they are handling the curriculum. With his graduate students, he teaches through what he calls “guided discovery.” Instead of lecturing, he forces his students to learn from each other.

“That’s what graduate school is. When you’re working in a lab, nobody is going to come in and set you straight,” Jayaraman said.

Grossnickle tries to make sure students are open to learning and growing. She calls her strategy “teaching to the why.” When a student answers a question, she

asks follow-up questions to figure out how they got that answer.

“There’s usually more than one answer and more than one way to get there,” Grossnickle said.

CHP Dean Thomas Masterson said having three professors win teaching awards is a victory for the college.

“We have an incredible array of instructors,” Masterson said.

“I always tell people our DNA is high-quality instruction. We expect that out of our people, and they deliver.”

A 15-person committee is put together by the CETL to accept nominations and choose winners.

The committee includes 10 faculty members, one from each college and four at large, and five students elected by the Academic Senate.

“We take extensive measures to make sure that throughout the evaluation process, all reference and recommendation materials submitted for evaluation are reviewed anonymously,” said Antoinette Tucker, executive secretary for the CETL. Winners will be recognized during CETL’s Faculty Excellence Exhibition March 22. They will also be recognized during Spring Commencement.

SGA reacts to March 2 shooting, passes SOS resolution

By Quinn Kirby Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Student Government Association’s March 12 meeting opened with silence.

The SGA meeting on March 12 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium began with a moment of silence in honor of the victims —James Eric Davis Sr. and Diva Davis — in the March 2 Campbell Hall shooting and those affected. SGA leaders also provided attendees with contact information for the university’s counseling services.

SGA President Anna Owens opened discussion in the house of representatives meeting.

“I wanted to ask how you felt the university responded to the situation (on March 2),” Owens said. “I’m often asked the opinion of the student body and this is obviously going to be on our minds for quite a while.”

Representatives expressed wanting communication as soon as the event happened. They mentioned that some students were walking on campus unaware of the shooting until the first Central Alert call at about 9 a.m. — half an hour after shots were fired in Campbell Hall.

Others mentioned disappointment in the original

description of the suspect, James Eric Davis Jr., saying the ambiguous police description of a “black male” put all African American men in Mount Pleasant in danger.

Howell junior Chelsea Thibodeau expressed concern regarding mental health services at the university.

“I love (Cenetral Michigan University) and I think it’s wonderful, but again, if the resources really were working, would this have happened?” Thibodeau said.

Thibodeau also said the incident could have been prevented if police took Davis Jr. seriously when he originally contacted them. “(Davis Jr.) was very clearly showing signs of needing help,” she said. “I have had experiences on campus with multiple professionals where I have discussed my mental health and they’ve said, ‘You’re fine,’ ‘That’s normal,’ ‘That’s OK.’” Representatives also showed appreciation for the community, university staff and authorities in coming together to create a secure and supportive environment.

Grand Rapids freshman Daniel Dahlstrom appreciated the handling of Davis Jr.’s capture.

“I wanted to commend (the authorities) on how they handled it when they caught him, especially in

today’s climate between (authorities and) the African American community — how they apprehended him without using violence,” he said.

STUDENT OPINION SURVEY LEGISLATION PASSES House and senate discussed the Academic Affairs Committee’s legislation, “A Resolution to Make Amendments to the Implementation and Content

The piece supports the removal of gender identification on SOS forms and moves the survey to an online format.

The resolution passed in the house with 92 for, three against and three abstaining from voting on the legislation. It passed in the senate with 15 for, zero against and one abstaining from voting.

Men’s basketball to play Wofford in the second round of CIT

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Following a first round win in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, Central Michigan men’s basketball will play a team that topped No. 10 North Carolina earlier this year.

The Chippewas (20-14) head to Spartanburg, South Carolina to take on Wofford (21-12) at 7 p.m. March 16 in Richardson Indoor Stadium.

CMU is coming off a 94-89 win March 12 against Fort Wayne in the first round. It was their first postseason win in 15 years.

Against Fort Wayne, the Chippewas were led in scoring by sophomore forward David DiLeo, who finished with 22 points. Sophomore guard Kevin McKay added 20 points.

"Our best basketball is still in

front of us," said head coach Keno Davis. "I still want this season to continue as far as we can take it.

This team deserves every opportunity.”

DiLeo made four of the Chippewas' 17 3-pointers in the game. He said the offense just flowed around the 3-pointer against the Mastodons.

"The way we were running our offense helped us find guys who were open (for 3-pointers)," DiLeo said. "I think we have the confidence that everyone on this team can hit shots and luckily they were able to fall today.”

Luke Meyer, who was given the Most Valuable Player award after the game, scored 18 points and recorded seven rebounds. Meyer also hit the game-clinching 3-pointer with about a minute to play.

“This was my last chance to (win), because it’s lose and go home which

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer Central Michigan men’s basketball huddles before the game against Buffalo on March 8 at Quicken Loans Arena.

definitely adds more pressure,” Meyer said. “I’m just happy that I have extended my college playing career to at least one more game.”

SCOUTING WOFFORD The Terriers received a first round bye, meaning this will be their first postseason game. Wofford finished

fourth in the Southern Conference regular season standings with a 11-7 record. In the league tournament, it fell to UNC Greensboro in the semifinal round.

Wofford earned a signature win this season defeating North Carolina, 79-75, on Dec. 20. The Tar Heels are currently a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Junior guard Fletcher Magee leads the Terriers' four double-figure scorers at 21.6 points per game. He is followed by junior forward Cameron Jackson (11.6), sophomore guard Trevor Stumpe (10.9) and sophomore guard Nathan Hoover (10.8).

Terriers head coach Mike Young is in his 16th season as head coach.

He has compiled a 232-212 overall record and made the NCAA Tournament four times.

This will be the first meeting between CMU and Wofford.

Gymnastics finishes season at home against Ball State

By Dylan Goetz Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Even though it will be senior night March 15 for the Central Michigan gymnastics team, it will not be the last time the seniors compete in McGuirk Arena.

Chippewa seniors Courtney Campbell, Katy Clements, Macey Hilliker, Bryttany Kaplan and Miranda Wieczorek have the opportunity to win a MidAmerican Conference Championship in McGuirk Arena at the end of this season.

The Chippewas (6-4, 4-1 in MAC) host Ball State in the regular season finale and last conference match of the season at 7 p.m. March 15 in McGuirk Arena. Following the Ball State meet, CMU hosts the 2018 MAC Championships at 2 p.m.

March 24. The event will be broadcast on ESPN3.

CMU is coming off a tri-meet in Columbus, Ohio where it finished third behind North

Carolina State and Ohio State.

Head coach Jerry Reighard was not happy with the team's performance in the tri-meet.

“It’s not what I see in the gym from them,” Reighard said.

“The younger gymnasts are stepping up and giving their best in competition, but we struggle when we’ve been in competition lately.”

In the tri-meet, Clements posted a 9.225 on the beam.

This was her lowest score of the season. Despite the third-place finish, Chippewa gymnasts Kaplan and Kennedy Rae Johnson set career-high scores on the vault.

“They are capable of earning those scores and we got to see that happen,” Reighard said.

Reighard and the gymnastics team have a storied history in the MAC Championships. The Chippewas have a conferencehigh 15 championships, and Reighard has coached every one. Reighard's most recent

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer Central Michigan gymnastics cheers after freshman Kennedy Rae Johnson performs her beam routine on Feb. 18 at McGuirk Arena.

MAC Championship was in 2014, when the team posted a score of 196.475 in Ypsilanti.

CMU sits at No. 1 in the MAC standings. The Chippewas are

the only team with four wins in MAC play this season. Ball State, however, is fourth out of seven teams. The only team to beat CMU this season was

Bowling Green in a tri-meet with CMU and Ohio State.

The Chippewas are the favorites to win the MAC Regular Season Championship if they

win the meet against Ball State.

The title is given to the team that has the best conference record after the regular season has finished.

Janowicz finds new way to help team as student assistant

By Avery Jennings Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Kasey Janowicz will no longer compete with Central Michigan gymnastics, but that doesn’t stop her from helping the team.

Before the 2018 season, the Bay City junior was taken off the roster and listed as a student assistant. This season, she had surgery on her ulner nerve in her left elbow, restricting her from competition.

Reighard wanted to find a way for Janowicz to remain part of the gymnastics “family” despite her physical limitations.

“It wasn’t an easy transition by any means to stop her from competing,” Reighard said. “But it’s been interesting for her to be in a position as a student

athlete who can watch, critique, and give feedback to help our current gymnasts.”

KASEY JANOWICZ Janowicz’s transition from player to student assistant also means that she switches to a medical athletic scholarship for the remainder of the season. She wrote a letter to the NCAA stating she hadn’t been cleared to compete in gymnastics this season, and asked if her scholarship could be given to one of her teammates.

The request was accepted.

Her full-ride athletic scholarship was given to senior Katy Clements in her final season as a

Chippewa on Jan. 29.

The scholarship was presented in a video by NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans.

“I cried when it happened because she’s earned it,” Janowicz said. “She inspires me and everyone else because she puts her heart and soul in every day.”

The desire to play still lingers for Janowicz, but now she has a new role to share her knowledge.

“That’s what keeps pushing me every day; knowing that I am still a part of this team,” she said.

Junior Abby Rose Zoeller said Janowicz’s presence has been uplifting and encouraging.

“We know she’s knowledgable on what she’s talking about,” Zoeller said. “We’re able to take the feedback and interpret it like it’s coming from a coach.”

When Janowicz arrived at CMU in 2016, she won the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year award, and became a two-time AllMAC gymnast.

This season has been much different for Janowicz, since she

has to help from the sideline.

“I’ve had (five) surgeries in my gymnastics career,” Janowicz said. “I was told if I continue competing in gymnastics, I would eventually lose function in my left arm.”

because of the physical demand of the sport.

“As a gymnast, you know there’s going to be injuries,” she said. “You can only hope you don’t get injured, but in a sport like this, the chances are pretty high.”

Arizona graduate transfer Griffin commits to Central Michigan

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

Courtesy Photo | Marcus Griffin Arizona Wildcats defensive tackle Marcus Griffin (96) will transfer to Central Michigan University for his final year of eligibility.

John Bonamego has locked in another graduate transfer commitment.

After announcing his transfer on Jan. 2 and visiting Central Michigan on Feb. 17, Arizona defensive tackle Marcus Griffin made a commitment to play for the Chippewas.

“I have built a great relationship with the staff,” Griffin said. “When it came down to it, that’s what my family and I wanted. Coach Bonamego flew out to see my family for a home visit. My parents felt what I felt, so I pulled the trigger.”

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive lineman will be im-

mediately eligible to play in the 2018 season.

“They lost a little depth, but Bonamego wants me to play defensive tackle or nose guard,” Griffin said. “I can play either. It just depends on how spring goes and what’s best for the team.”

During his February visit to Mount Pleasant, CMU defensive back Sean Bunting was Griffin’s host. The duo formed a strong bond.

“We connected and built a great relationship,” Griffin said. “He was in my ear a lot and we talked all the time.

It felt great that the players could vouch for everything the coaching staff was telling me.

“I look forward to being in Mount Pleasant. It’s a nice feeling because it’s a small town

and everyone is supportive.”

Griffin said he already hates CMU rival Western Michigan and is looking forward to CMU’s schedule, which features multiple Power Five conference games. The Chippewas play Kentucky, Kansas and Michigan State in the first five weeks of the season.

“It shows we are not afraid to take anyone on,” Griffin said. “We will play anybody.

I’ll be able to gauge myself after those games. I’m excited to compete.”

In the 2017 season, Griffin logged just two tackles on the season but earned a considerable amount of playing time.

Over his career with the Wildcats, he registered five total tackles.

The 2018 campaign is a

showcase for Griffin to help get himself to the National Football League.

“This is a make or break year for me,” Griffin said.

Griffin has five graduate programs he would like to enroll in but is not sure which one he will pick going forward.

“My academic advisor and I wrote down a list of five areas I would be interested in studying to further my education,” Griffin said.

Coming out of Bellevue High School in Washington, Griffin was a three-star prospect. He was ranked No. 419 in the 2014 class, according to 247Sports. Griffin was the 33rd-best defensive tackle and the No. 4 player in the state of Washington.

IM TEAM OF R&B THEWEEK MEET

We spoke to Caleb Schantz, Captain of this weeks Team of the Week.

Tell us about your team name.

Our team name is R&B, the name of our residence halls Robinson and Barnes. We're one of the few residence hall teams that's combined so we like the community it brings.

What's your favorite part about IM Sports?

I enjoy meeting new people, as well as the competitive aspect CMU's IM Sports have. Everyone still has great sportsmanship, so it's a good dynamic.

How does your team prepare for an IM game?

Our team would make game plans and strategize line-ups before each game, so there was definitely a lot of thought throughout the week figuring out who could come and who would do what.

What has been your team's biggest challenge this season?

Initially, we were playing some really good teams that we lost to so it was challenging not to be frustrated.

But once we got to playing more games with teams closer to our level, we really started playing well.

Is there anything you'd like to say to your team?

Thank you for playing for R&B soccer! I loved being your captain. Thanks for all your hard work this season.
