Drop in recruitment rates sparks change in Greek Life culture

By Kersten Kruse Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Although Central Michigan University isn’t known for having a massive number of students who participate in Greek Life, a drop in recruitment rates is changing fraternity and sorority culture for future potential members.

Whether it be involvement in a sorority or a fraternity, expectations as to what Greek Life entails might be the reason many are turning away, said Galen Miller, Interfraternity Council president and member of Phi Delta Theta.

College Panhellenic Council membership has dropped by 7 percent, whereas IFC membership has dropped by 6 percent.

Many in the Greek community are wondering how they can increase the number of students recruited into their organizations.

In Fall 2016, 518 students ex-

pressed interest in joining a sorority that the CPC governs. In 2017, that number decreased to 462.

Compared to the 435 students interested four years ago in Fall 2014, 2017 has shown an overall increase.

Although 399 students qualified for recruitment in 2014, only 362 qualified in 2017.

Miller said recruitment rates are dropping due to the stereotypes portrayed in films and the news.

“Everything that’s happening nationally and the past fall semester has contributed to a lot of that,” Miller said. “People are scared to join Greek Life and they see the complete opposite of what it really is all about just cause of what they see in the media.”

Negative stereotypes could be the cause for dropping recruitment rates, Miller said. He said there is much more to Greek Life than most people think. Chapters raise money for philanthro-

pies and contribute service hours to the community.

Miller recognized there is tension between the university and Greek Life. He said he wishes the relationship was better between the two and said a lot has to do with the attitude of the Greek community.

With people dying from fraternity-related incidents, multiple universities made attempts at banning all of Greek Life. A recent spike in alcohol related deaths have caused many to question whether involvement in Greek Life is worth the risk members face. Dangerous situations such as hazing are what CMU aims to protect students from by suspending organizations who do not abide by the university’s policies.

“Everybody pictures Greek Life like (the film) ‘Animal House,’” Miller said. “That’s not what it’s about. Nationally, you’re going to see a culture change in the next few years of what Greek Life looks like. It’s not going to look like your regular stereotype of a Greek organization. It’s going to be people joining it for the values.”

Currently, Miller said those involved in Greek Life make up about 10 percent of the student body, with 1,602 members. He said the percentage is about average compared to other universities.

Katelyn Haas, CPC president and member of Phi Mu, has a strategy Greek organizations should use in order to combat a lack of interest.

Haas said research is being done on Generation Z, and that marketing to them has been difficult because millennials were focused on getting a “college experience,” which is no longer a factor in recruitment.

Generation Z, also known as Post-Millennials, are people born within the late 1990s and the early 2000s. Haas said 90 percent of young women who graduate high school in this generation feel as if they have no true friends. “(Women) are looking for

deeper (and) stronger friendships,” Haas said. “They’re very driven, so philanthropy is really going to call out to them and be something they are interested in.”

Haas said fraternities and sororities get “clumped together” most of the time.

“If one organization has an issue going on, it reflects on the other council as well,” Haas said.

Haas said improving the relationship between the university and Greek Life starts with the members and how they view their organization.

“The first step is just acting upon why we are here in the first place,” Haas said. “We are here to better ourselves, achieve academically (and) promote involvement on campus. We are not just here for the stigma of partying, and getting that across to all members is important.”

membership has dropped for both governing bodies.

Qualification varies for different organizations and GPA can play a large factor in who can be accepted as a new member in both fraternities and sororities. Grades are an important factor in the recruitment process and can determine whether or not someone is permitted to join Greek Life at all.

This may involve the marketing problems addressed by Borchert.

Rochester Hills freshman Anna Dean is a member of Alpha Sigma Tau and said Greek Life is made of young men and women trying to better the community.

“What people don’t understand is that when you join Greek life, you are now apart of a group of people who are actively holding you accountable to be a stand up person and do what’s right,” Dean said.

Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Jordan Borchert said how the university is portraying the view of fraternities and sororities might be hindering recruitment rates on campus as well as nationally.

In order to market the value of fraternity and sorority life accurately to those within Generation Z, Borchert said statistics about GPA and community service hours are important.

Marketing what Greek Life actually looks like versus how it is perceived, and being transparent about the requirements, can help retention grow among sororities and fraternities, Borchert said.

The rate of students interested in joining an organization within the CPC and IFC qualified, and those who are members were collected. The amount of interested students has grown, while total

College of Medicine seniors learn of residencies during Match Day March 16

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

At exactly 11:59 a.m. March 16, Central Michigan University medical students, along with medical students across the country, opened sealed envelopes and learned their residencies after graduation.

Match Day is an annual event during which medical school graduates find out where they will serve their residency. The National Resident Matching Program uses a computer algorithm to match students based on their desired specialty and location.

Last year, all 62 graduates from the College of Medicine were matched to a residency.

This year, 75 percent of this

year’s graduates were placed in primary care and 54 percent will serve their residency in Michigan, according to University Communications.

Five graduates plan to enter the military after residency.

CMU’s College of Medicine opened in 2013 to address the growing shortage of physicians in Michigan and to improve access to health care in rural and underserved areas.

“We are thrilled that our results in the match reflect the mission of our college: to educate and train primary care physicians for our community and for Michigan,” said George Kikano, dean of the College of Medicine. “Our team’s hard work investing in student success is paying off dividends.”

medical schools in the state of Michigan. According to Crain’s Detroit Business, about 1,000 seniors from medical schools in Michigan were matched to residency programs.

The National Resident Matching Program cites that almost 44,000 medical students registered for the 2018 match, with just 33,000 positions available. Data from the Association of American Medical Colleges indicated an anticipated shortage of physicians in the U.S. between 41,000 and 105,000 in the next decade.

“We are thrilled that our results in the match reflect the mission of our college: to educate and train primary care physicians for our community and for Michigan. Our team’s hard work investing in student success is paying off dividends.”

“Our students’ choices of specialties, as well as their overall desire to stay in Michigan, tell us that we are doing things right,” said Steve Vance, CMED associate dean for clinical education. “From our admissions process to the curriculum to our faculty, clinical education partners and communities, this is working.”

Idema: ‘We will not allow drugs on campus’

By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cmich.edu

Mount Pleasant could see new medical marijuana facilities this fall, but regardless of state laws and city ordinances, Central Michigan University will remain a drug-free campus.

The Mount Pleasant City Commission is drafting an ordinance for the medical marijuana facilities.

While it is legal to consume marijuana medically or recreationally in some states, it is still illegal on the federal level — classified as a schedule I drug, alongside LSD, ecstasy and heroin.

Because CMU is a federallyfunded university, its policies are in-line with federal laws and statutes. As long as someone is on CMU property, any incident involving marijuana will be handled without regard to state laws or city ordinances, said Tom Idema, director of Student Conduct.

“We go by the Drug Free Campus Act,” Idema said. “Because we get federal funding we will not allow drugs on campus, which includes marijuana and medical marijuana.”

Since 2008, the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) made it legal for Michigan residents to be prescribed marijuana for roughly 14 different conditions.

MMMA allowed patients to receive marijuana from caregivers, who grow marijuana for up to five particular patients, but it never permitted the use of dispensaries — stores that sell marijuana prod-

CMU to enforce medical marijuana restrictions despite local ordinances ucts to anyone with their Medical Marijuana Registry Identification Card (MMRIC).

In 2016, a second act, the Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA), was signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in a package of bills that also expanded the law to allow marijuana-infused products, or “edibles.”

Dispensaries existed in Michigan for years but were subject to raids by police for not following state law. In December 2017, every dispensary in Michigan was shut down, while a new medical marijuana act was taking shape.

MMFLA allows marijuana dispensaries to sell products to anyone with their MMRIC, bypassing the traditional caregiverto-patient system, said Mount Pleasant Director of Public Safety, Paul Lauria.

“Now marijuana (is) going more commercialized, where you can have big grow facilities and then people who have medical marijuana cards can go into a dispensary,” Lauria said.

“There doesn’t have to be that relationship like there would be with the caregiver. So, it is dramatically different.”

The act allows dispensaries, along with other facilities, to exist within the state. However, each municipality must decide to “opt in” and write its own ordinance authorizing the use of MMFLA.

Mount Pleasant has opted in and is approaching the issue cautiously.

“We specifically did not want to be the first community that enacted an ordinance,” City Manager, Nancy Ridley said at a February City Commission work session.

The city commission is in the drafting stages of the ordinance, and according to the projected timeline, the ordinance will take effect June 28. After Feb. 12 work session, the commission decided to allow all five types of facilities, three of each type, and they defined buffer zones for the potential facilities.

If someone is a cardholder and doesn’t violate the state laws and city ordinance, he or she should have no problem with the Mount Pleasant Police, Lauria said.

“We typically — I’m not saying 100 percent — but we typically don’t have an issue with the people who carry their medical marijuana cards,” Lauria said. “Not to say we haven’t had any, but the people that go out and take the time to get their card, in my estimation, are fairly responsible.”

Lauria admits that the implications of the new facilities ordinance are largely unknown, but he knows what his responsibility is in the matter.

“What I know I can control is the education, the accessibility of

it, and what happens when someone violates the law or something along those lines,” Lauria said.

However, as soon as a cardholder steps on CMU property, their MMRIC doesn’t exempt them from university policy.

“If we make contact (with suspects) and we find out they do in fact have a medical marijuana card,” said CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman. “Then we will either seize the drugs and or tell them to take it off campus.”

CMUPD is undergoing some changes in regard to how they handle marijuana-related incidents on and off campus to make their enforcement more consistent, Wassman said.

“It’s actually a fairly sticky situation,” Wassman said. “Because you have something that’s allowed by state law, but then you have something that is prohibited by policy, which comes from the federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, that says you can’t have drugs on school property.”

“We typically — I’m not saying 100 percent — but we typically don’t have an issue with the people who carry their medical marijuana cards. (That’s) not to say we haven’t had any, but the people that go out and take the time to get their card, in my estimation, are fairly responsible.”

PAUL LAURIA

MOUNT PLEASANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY

If a student is caught using or possessing marijuana, a report will likely be filed to the Office of Student Conduct, where each situation is addressed and corrected, Idema said.

“Our goal here is to correct the behavior, and send people on back on and onto graduation,” Idema said.

He said the greatest challenge is for patients who live on campus in a residence hall or apartment.

“It’s kind of a dicey situation for some of those folks,” Idema said.

West Bloomfield senior Andrew Ruby had been caught twice with marijuana in the residence halls — once before

he had his medical marijuana card, and once after.

“The day I got caught the second time was so bad I contemplated moving back home and stopping my education,” Ruby said.

After receiving another chance to stay enrolled at CMU from Idema, and paying hefty fines, Ruby now lives off-campus.

Ruby believes that the new medical marijuana ordinance will help the Mount Pleasant economy.

“It will be pretty interesting to see what happens,” Ruby said.

“Hopefully it will drive more business to downtown.”

Stand Tall School walkouts exercise First Amendment right, draw attention to larger issues

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer Midland junior Hunter Musselman poses for a portrait at the National School Walkout against gun violence on March 14 at the Fabiano Botanical Gardens.

On March 14, the country saw the largest effort of student-led protesting in U.S. history.

From elementary schools to universities, students left classes for 17 minutes to draw attention to the gun violence epidemic in the U.S. The specific amount of time was chosen to pay tribute to the 17 people who lost their lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School one month earlier in Parkland, Florida.

Another mass protest is planned for March 24, to coenside with the March For Our Lives event in Washington, D.C. For those who can't attend the national march, smaller protests are being planned across the country out of solidarity — one will be hosted at Island Park in Mount Pleasant.

As a part of an industry that survives and thrives because of the First Amendment rights, we stand with those who have marched and plan to march again this week.

Despite what some people are saying, your protesting does make a difference.

Each time a gun-related tragedy takes place in the U.S., it seems as though it follows a script: a shooting takes place, people grieve, there's a demand for stricter gun laws and then the event slowly fades from the public eye and nothing happens.

This time, it's different.

This time, it must be different.

Those impacted by the school shooting in Parkland are forc-

ing the nation to confront this subject and don't plan to stop.

By creating these walkout events, they're forcing the U.S. to have this conversation.

They're making the country talk about it. They're helping other students and citizens, stay informed about gun laws across the country and what their lawmakers are doing to keep their communities safer.

Even at the collegiate level, walking out makes a difference.

When students at Central Michigan University walked out of class for 17 minutes on March 14, people took to our Facebook and Twitter to leave disparaging comments: that walking out of classes you pay for is pointless, that people walk out of college classes all the time and don't come back on a daily basis.

The most frequent comment is that walking out changes nothing.

This is incorrect.

These walkouts are flipping the script of how our country deals with mass shootings.

These walkouts are forcing us to keep paying attention to the tragedy that occurs due to lax laws and gun culture's unwillingness to change.

A recent study found that between 1961 and 2012, there were

292 mass shootings around the world. Of that number, 90 mass shootings took place in the U.S. In a country that comprises 5 percent of the world's population, we accounted for 31 percent of the mass shootings during those years.

That study doesn't include the deaths in Parkland or at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, the Las Vegas shooting during the Route 91 Harvest music festival or even the killings at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Keeping with the status quo, staying complacent and not doing anything, will only result in more deaths and bloodshed.

A recent article published by CNN found that of the 30 deadliest shootings in U.S. history, 19 of them have occurred in the last decade.

We can't keep letting this happen.

If the so-called "adults" in power won't do anything to protect students, protect the residents of their cities and states, then it falls to us.

It falls to a younger generation — a generation not afraid to push back.

In past years, Millennials and Generation Z have been accused of being "keyboard warriors" or "slacktivists" — people who call for change from the safety of their own homes, but won't get up off the couch to do something about it.

Now, we're doing something about it.

You can either stand with us, or stand by as change leaves you in the dust.

Trying stand-up comedy changed my life for the better As graduation approaches, I often find myself reflecting on what I have done during my college career.

Looking back on my time at Central Michigan University, there are a lot of things I can say I’m glad I did.

One of those things is performing stand-up comedy.

It’s an activity I like to keep quiet.

People who know me know I’m a quiet and timid guy to begin with.

So when people learn that I do standup comedy, their initial reaction is “Really? But you’re so quiet.”

Let me tell you why I decided to get into comedy.

I was 18-years-old and approaching my high school graduation. Sports made up a lot of my time then, so when my playing days were over, I needed a new outlet.

I decided to try out stand-up. I watched stand-up specials on Comedy Central and

Evan Sasiela University Editor

sketches on “Saturday Night Live” during high school. Comedy was entertaining and fun, which is something I needed in my life.

I gave it a shot. It was awful. I was hooked.

On March 25, 2014, I performed at a comedy club in Livonia. I took my best friend with me and I put what I thought was a good five minutes of material onto a notecard. I drove an hour-and-a-half from Saginaw to the club where I talked for five minutes into a microphone.

I bombed. But one joke I told landed.

When I heard the sound of laughter for

the first time, I was hooked. Getting laughs on stage is like a drug — it’s something you want more of.

So, I kept doing comedy. The day before my last day of high school, I roasted my high school. For 10 minutes, my classmates loved it. I felt like the popular kid in school, even if it was just for a day.

Comedy has been a lot of fun. I have performed in clubs, bars, colleges and festivals. I have gotten on shows with some hilarious comedians. I have met great people in the four years since I took the stage for the first time.

Will Ferrell described stand-up comedy as “hard, lonely and vicious.” He’s not wrong.

I can’t tell you how many times I drove twoand-a-half hours to Grand Rapids to bomb, eat McDonald’s in the parking lot and then drive back. I’ve had bad sets. Those aren’t fun, and you always find yourself questioning why you keep doing this.

Even after you have 10 bad sets in a row — one good show makes all those hesitations disappear.

Comedy brings people together. For me, it’s how I relax in a time in my life that is often stressful. It’s how I share my voice.

I don’t know where my career will end up or how long I will keep doing this. I could be either 25 or 60 and there could be a good chance that I’ll still be driving hours alone with McDonald’s bags on the floor of the passenger seat of my vehicle.

But I’ll never regret taking that microphone out of the stand awkwardly for the first time and saying something I wrote in front of a crowd of people. It’s part of what makes me, me.

Find what makes you happy. You won’t regret it.

Don’t let anyone hold you back from doing something you want to do.

Moderate Democrats can flip control of House, Senate in 2018 Running moderate Democrats in Republican areas is winning, and it is making red territory blue.

Conor Lamb, the Democrat running in the Pennsylvania special election has declared himself the winner in a place President Donald Trump won by 20 points over Hillary Clinton. While the race is down to the wire and absentee ballots could shift from his favor, the point has been made for this Democratic election strategy.

That is, run the guy in the middle.

These special elections are showing the country what the Democratic Party is going to look like in 2018 and beyond. While the Obama years gutted down ballot Democrats and left the party without a unifying message. Today, that is changing, and Lamb is the party’s way forward.

To understand why Lamb can win in a Republican area, it makes sense to see why a far left candidate can’t.

At its base, the Republican Party relies on a specific makeup of voters to win elections: blue collar workers, white people, religious people and old people. This picture holds throughout elections, and especially in Pennsylvania’s 18th district — a district that is alarmingly suited to this Republican

Jeremy Agosta Columnist

voter makeup.

The district has a median income of 58.3 thousand dollars, is 93 percent white and has 55.5 percent of its population over 40, according to statisticalatlas.com. According to Pew, 73 percent of people in Pennsylvania are Christian.

These are groups that Democrats need

to pull from to get a victory in Republican districts, something a far left candidate can’t do for a number of reasons.

Reason number one is religion. To a lot of Republicans, the word “liberal” brings “atheist” with it.

The 2016 election showed the value of distancing a candidate from this accusation.

Trump, who has no religious affiliation quickly labeled himself as a Christian.

The Democratic Party also labeled Bernie Sanders as an atheist to try and kill his run. A leaked email from the DNC chief financial officer reads: “My southern peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.” Sanders quickly denied

these accusations.

Next are the promotions of social programs. While far left democrats like DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison are pushing the Medicare for all platform, moderate Democrats are avoiding it like the plague.

Instead, Lamb and others are using terms like “common-sense” and “fix ACA”.

These phrases don’t mean a lot policy wise and can be interpreted however a voter wants to.

Third is race. To put it blatantly, white voters are more likely to vote for white people.

A study from Stanford University illustrated this difference, looking at vote totals for delegates that had names sounding white compared to those who do not. The study found that Republicans are, shockingly, more likely to vote for someone with a name that sounds white.

If this red district can shift blue for a moderate Democrat then thats how the blue wave is going to take effect in America. While this is a huge disappointment to far left Democrats, it is a logical, and winning strategy.

A strategy that leaves behind Medicaid for all, a $15 minimum wage and free college — at least for the foreseeable future.

B’s Music Shop provides instruments, instruction

By Taryn Brimmer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Walking into B’s Music Shop, customers are greeted by blue walls lined with guitars, stacks of records as tall as a person, and ‘80s rock music enticing them to play some music of their own.

Each section of the store has a unique purpose. The shiny “electric” side contains new and used drum sets, electric guitars and amplification systems. The more mellow “acoustic” side is home to hundreds of ukuleles, acoustic guitars and vinyl records organized by their genre of music.

The back of the store has become a musical haven, now dedicated to providing music lessons — including the nine-to-10 week bootcamp dubbed “ukulele karate” — for more than 140 students.

The shop, run by Brian Hansen, is a display of how music can reach people of all ages, ability levels and instrument preferences. Hansen said above all, music should just be fun for everybody involved.

CM Life: What kind of services do you provide to the community?

Hansen: We sell music instruments, new and used. We sell vinyl records, we offer music lessons, we have ukulele club three times a week and do private one-onone lessons. We also do stringed instrument repair and band instrument repair. We rent (public address) and sound systems out to people and we also do business installs, like repairing or putting in sound systems.

How long have you been in business?

This is going to be my 16th year in June. We started in 2002 in Alma, we did three years there before we moved to this location in Mount Pleasant. This used to be a bookstore, but we were able to expand the business into the whole shop, instead of just the half that we had before, which really opened up

a lot of opportunities for us.

What inspired you to open the shop?

I worked for a music store in this building in 1998 for three years. I left when it sold to another owner, and then I decided to open a competing store in the industry.

This will be my 20th year in the music industry. I was good at it and people seemed to like what I was selling, so it just made sense.

How many people do you employ?

It used to just be me and a couple of other people working part-time, but now we’re up to 21 employees. We have 13 teachers, six people on the sales floor and some repairs staff.

Are you looking for more employees?

We are probably going to be hiring in the next few months.

If anybody wants to work here, bring a resume and fill out a short

questionnaire. We’re going to be hiring for somebody that I can train to be a guitar (technician). I don’t need somebody who knows everything there is to know about it, because I would actually be the one teaching them how to be one, so I want someone hardworking with a good initiative.

What was business like for you last year?

Great — 2017 was our best year of business, and before that, 2016 was our best year for business, so we are looking to make 2018 another record-breaking year.

We had a lot of growth last year, and we’re showing a lot of growth this year; we’re super strong. We are probably one of the strongest music stores in Michigan, if not farther than that.

Do you have any big plans, like developments or expansions, for the future?

Not in the very near future, we

have been focused on expanding our inventory a lot recently.

The vinyl records that we have are going to keep growing. We went from having only a couple hundred to now having more than 5,000. The record portion of the store is something that we have been taking very seriously over the last year.

I have some projects in the back of my mind to do in the next five years, but right now we’re just focusing on expanding what we’ve got in the store. The store is always improving; we try every day to make it permanently better. Whether it’s tweaking what we do, tweaking our inventory or better understanding what it is that the people want — we’re always improving.

How would you describe the atmosphere here?

Mission St. Mount Pleasant, MI 48858 Phone Number: (989) 773-0777 Website: bsmusicshop.com Email: brian@bsmusicshop.com I think it’s a pretty relaxed, fun atmosphere. We’re all laid-back, easy-going people. We have a lot of fun here, but we’re serious about trying to make people happy.

We’re selling a feeling, so we try to make it a fun process.

What reactions have you received from the community?

Our community has always been really good to us. There are

a lot of relationships that, over the past few years, have grown much stronger and we’ve been working on forming a lot of new ones.

We’ve been branching out and doing a lot of music festivals lately, which has let us get a lot closer to the community and hang out with everybody and have a great time.

Also, we’ve got our (ukulele) club, where we take adults or children and we take them from zero (skills) to being able to proficiently play most songs you can find. We call it “ukulele karate.” It’s once a week for about nine-to-10 weeks. It’s totally free, you don’t even have to bring an instrument, you just show up and work through songs. We have intermediate classes also, and it really brings everyone who loves the music together in a place they can connect with others.

RSO helps students express emotions, find confidence through poetry

By Loreal Nix Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For Danielle Francis, poetry was the one thing that helped decompress stress from many factors in her life — one being her mother's battle with multiple sclerosis.

"It was one of those factors in my life that made me want to write poetry, to write not only about those experiences, but also to write for myself," Francis said.

The Alma senior went from discovering Word Hammer four years ago after seeing her roommate being involved, to being president of the slam poetry Registered Student Organization.

Word Hammer consists of

poets and performers dedicated to helping each other develop their skills. General meetings are 7 p.m. every Wednesday in Moore Hall room 114.

Word Hammer also participates in poetry slams — spoken word poetry competitions that combine poetry and performance to create an open forum, while competing against other universities and their slam teams.

Poetry slam competitions are conducted once a semester, and are usually judged by four or five judges and the audience. The next poetry slam will take place at 8 p.m.

April 18 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium. The event will began with an open mic at 7 p.m., immediately

followed by the slam.

Each Word Hammer meeting features either a prompt for the poet to write in about only a few minutes to perform, a freestyle session where poets can read their own poems or well-known poet’s poems, or workshops that focuses on mastering certain poetry skills, such as stage presence and projection, Francis said.

Francis said she understands many students could feel uncomfortable or skeptical sharing or reciting their poetry, and encourages them to just learn from others to strengthen their skills.

"Our meetings and events provide a low-stress environment open to anyone with experience in poetry, but also

others who are new to poetry and want to improve their skills," Francis said. "No one should ever feel uncomfortable or scared to recite their poetry. Every meeting is an opportunity for (students) to listen to their peers and learn new skills."

Kentwood sophomore Nicholas Westendorp attended a Valentine's Day showcase, and was impressed with

how it brought amateur and experienced poets together.

"It was a great showcase, as it was awesome to see both poets from the club perform both old and new pieces, as well as to experience some new previously unseen poets bring new poems and faces to the scene," Westendorp said. "Poetry for me is an intimate form of self expression, and seeing others perform their work so well

inspired me to write more poetry of my own."

St. Ignace junior Carmen Thurston enjoyed reading poetry. However, she didn't know how to pursue writing poetry or what skills it took to be an effective poet.

Attending her first meeting at Word Hammer, where she was taught on-stage performing, was the moment Thurston felt more comfortable being open to writing poetry, she said.

"The workshops are very fun and engaging, as I plan to attend more workshops in the future," Thurston said.

"Learning about being a solid performer on stage was encouraging and made me more confident in writing poetry, as well as expressing my emotions and feelings through words."

Touchstone art project provides comfort following shooting

By Taryn Brimmer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

In the cozy room of Foust Hall room 135, therapy dogs, artwork and members of the community combine to foster a sense of hope and healing following the fatal March 2 shooting that took place in Campbell Hall on Central Michigan University's campus.

One Community, One CMU: Touchstone Art Project is an event hosted by the CMU Counseling Center from 4-7 p.m.

March 14 through March 25.

“This project gives everyone a place and an opportunity to get in touch with what anchors them and makes them feel safe,” said Michelle Bigard, assistant director of the Counseling Center.

“(Students) can come together and design these touchstones as a message of hope and strength for the community.”

The touchstones themselves come in two mediums. The first is a glass disk that people can glue a paper of their own design to the back of so their art can be seen through the stone.

The second medium is Petoskey stones, which were donated to the project by the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences to give the touchstones a more varied appearance and feel.

Bigard describes the completed stones as having values unique to each person and said they represent a symbol of safety, hope and moving forward.

Individuals participating in designing these stones have

the option of keeping them for continued comfort and positive energy or donating them to what will become a permanent “unified art piece” in the CMU Museum of Cultural and Natural History.

The design of the unified piece is currently in progress and is being guided by the donated artwork in an effort to make a timeless piece that displays the impact of the March 2 events.

Jay Martin, director and curator of history at the museum, emphasized this event is not only for students, but focuses on healing CMU faculty, staff and the Mount Pleasant community as a whole.

“The point of this exhibit is to help people deal with their feelings and put those feel-

ings toward positive outlets,” Martin said. “It was intended to capture that energy and take individuals’ artistic creations to make a larger piece of artwork that shows that we are all in this together.”

Students and community members are able to design their touchstones while enjoying snacks, conversation with others with shared or similar experiences from the on-campus tragedy and the companionship of the therapy dogs as they work through their emotions.

“Coming together is one of the most healing things to do after a traumatic event, and this is a place for people to reflect and lean on their peers and communal strength to find their peace,” Bigard said.

For Guevara, the win is simply a reflection of the game plan execution, which called for battling on the boards.

CMU out rebounded LSU, 40-27.

“We talked about the two things we had to do to be successful and one of them was rebounding,” Guevara said.

“You just saw the toughness of (Moore) and (Frost), they

were tenacious and they went after it.”

Freshman forward Kyra Bussell saw some productive minutes for CMU after Frost picked up her fourth foul with just over eight minutes to play. Bussell finished with four points and two rebounds, an effort Frost later commended.

“It was hard because I couldn’t be on the floor,” Frost said.

“But, you see that Kyra Bussell came in and she gave us great minutes, she made her free throws, she was getting rebounds.”

Guevara stressed how beneficial a win like this on a national stage will pay in dividends for her program.

“For all the recruits that are out there, hey, you can come to Central Michigan and play in the NCAA Tournament and win games,” Guevara said.

CMU plays Ohio State at 6:30 p.m. March 19 in Columbus, Ohio in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The game will be televised on ESPN2.

A Chippewa tradition ‘Celebrating Life’ Pow wow showcases Native American culture and tradition

By Hunter Dood Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For Gerald White, a member of the Anishinaabe tribe in Leech Lake, Minnesota, Pow wows are more than just performances: they are valuable social gatherings and celebrations of his culture.

More than that — they’re a way of life.

“Pow wows bring families and communities to-

gether,” White said. “We show our tribe's heritage and others show their heritage. Performing is part of my identity. It’s a part of me."

White joined several other members of Native American tribes, who showcased their culture to the Mount Pleasant community through singing, dancing and cultural garb at the 29th annual "Celebrating Life" Pow wow. The event took place March 17-18 in McGuirk Arena.

This Pow wow is one of many similar events

nationwide that Native American tribes attend.

According to the CMU North American Indigenous Student Organization (NAISO), Pow wows hold historical, social, and spiritual values. At Pow wows, people perform traditional songs and dances, visit with family members, make new friends and trade arts and crafts.

The two-day Pow wow was put together by a group of CMU students and their advisers, called the Pow Wow Committee. The group is a part of the Native

American program at CMU. “These students want to bring culture and tradition into CMU,” said Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs.

Hunter Sagaskie, a junior from Memphis, Michigan, is part of the Pow Wow Committee and NAISO. He believes the event brings both the Native American and CMU communities together as one. It provides w POW WOW | 17

POW WOW | CONTINUED FROM 14 a chance for students to celebrate the diversity in the world, he said.

“This event allows us to celebrate the living culture,” Sagaskie said. “The importance is in the togetherness of the communities.”

Jonathan Glenn and Ken Snyder, both members of the committee, said the Pow wow teaches history though dance, food and singing. Glenn said the Pow wow provides an educational experience and shows the differences within cultures.

Glenn said the Pow wow connects the CMU body with where its name, Chippewa, comes from. It connects the body with what their name really means, through history and culture.

“The looks on the little children’s faces says it all,” Glenn said. “It really shows how important these Pow wows are in their culture.”

The ceremony began at 1 p.m. March 17 with the Grand Entry ceremony. Five drum groups surrounded the arena floor as each group played traditional songs.

The host drum group, Midnight Express, led men, women and children onto the floor. Each tribe wore their own regalia as they danced.

many different styles of dance.

Vendors sold a wide variety of crafts and merchandise brought from tribes across North America.

People sold herbal teas, pelts, healing crystals and hand-made walking sticks.

Ron Kyllonen of the Ojibwa tribe in Keweenaw Bay sold pelts celebrating the state of Michigan. He is part of the first tribe that was recognized by the federal government and the tribe where the name “Michigan” originates.

“Pow wows bring awareness that we are still here,” said Floyd Sylas III, a member of the Oneida and Menominee tribes in Green Bay, Wisconsin. “It shows the culture of tribes and proves it’s more than just a costume.”

Sylas performed in the Grand Entries as well as the teen dance competitions. Sylas enjoys how Pow wows bring the younger generations into the community by allowing them to be a part of the tradition.

Sunday included more dance and drum competitions, and the announcement of scholarship winners.

The event was free for CMU students. The Pow wow provided a glimpse of native culture, something that is often forgotten about, Snyder said.

Grand Blanc junior Madison Chase and Swartz Creek senior Kyra Denton came to the event together as part of earning extra credit in class. They both would encourage students to take advantage of the opportunity to attend a Pow wow due to the learning experience.

“The event really showed the differences in culture and how they are still important,” Denton said. “It is a good way to bring the community together as one.”

Uncle, nephew keep baseball in the family at Theunissen Stadium

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

In 2010, Adam Jaksa stepped on the campus of Trine University in Indiana to play Division III soccer, but quickly realized he had a different dream – broadcasting.

When finding his next step, Adam looked to Central Michigan University broadcasters like Dick Enberg, Mickey York and Matt Shepherd for help in making his decision to be a Chippewa. He also talked to his uncle and CMU baseball coach, Steve Jaksa.

Following his time in school at CMU from 20112014, Adam went to Evanston, Wyoming to call high school sports on the radio. Then, the Chippewas called him back.

“It’s great to see him shape his own career a little bit. I know he likes where he is and is passionate about it.”

Broadcasting baseball games for his uncle is a memory Adam will never forget.

“To be able to games for my uncle is cool,” Adam said. “I cheer a little harder every game.”

When broadcasting for ESPN3, Adam realizes the main source of viewers come from away teams, so he attempts to stay neutral.

As a CMU broadcaster for baseball, he can be a little biased.

“My wife says he does a great job,” Steve said. “That’s the most important thing because he helps her know what’s going on, which means he does a good job. He takes a great deal of pride in being good at what he does.”

Steve said broadcasting work ethic commonly goes unrecognized, but in his nephew, he sees it every game day.

“Even though the players are getting ready, announcers have to get ready in the same way,” Steve said. “He makes sure he knows it and he just has a love for the game.”

On a game day for Adam, the work usually starts a few days prior.

“My day is all prep,” Adam said. “It starts a couple days before and as soon as that game is done, I am on to the next one.”

In his 17th season as the head coach of CMU baseball, Steve would not be able to see Adam much if his nephew had not made the move to Mount Pleasant.

“He’s a busy guy, so it’s tough to see him if you aren’t in Mount Pleasant,” Adam said. “Being a Division I

Wrestling fails to earn one All-American honor at NCAAs

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

For the second straight season, Central Michigan wrestling ended its season on day two of the NCAA Wrestling Championships.

CMU finished the tournament with only 6.5 points — tied for 37th place with Northern Colorado.

Four Chippewas remained in the field entering Friday’s action in Cleveland, Ohio, but left Quicken Loans Arena without an All-American wrestler for the second straight year.

"It was an up and down weekend," said head coach Tom Borrelli. "We had some bright spots and disappointments, but we got some things we can build on."

Junior Justin Oliver was the final Chippewa standing in the tournament. The sixthseeded 149-pound wrestler

defeated Michigan’s Malik Amine 7-1 and Nebraska's Colton McCrystal 5-2. Oliver was one win away from All-American status for the second straight year.

"When you wrestle in a tournament like (the NCAA Championships) it points out a lot of your flaws," Borrelli said. "The guys on our team will take those things to heart and focus on improving."

Oliver fell short of becoming an All-American by dropping his final bout to Oklahoma State’s Boo Lewallen, 9-4. "(Lewallen) tied (Oliver) up, took a lot of things that he's real good at away from him," Borrelli said. "(Lewallen) just wrestled a real smart, tactical match against (Oliver) and he just couldn't get to any of his offense."

Senior Jordan Ellingwood opened day two with a 5-4 victory over Missouri’s Canten Marriott in a No. 15 vs. No 16

seed battle at 184 pounds.

Ellingwood dropped his final bout to Illinois' No. 10 Emory Parker, 17-6, ending his CMU wrestling career.

Sophomore Mason Smith started day two with a 5-0 loss to Penn State’s No. 8 Nick Lee at 141 pounds.

Senior CJ Brucki also dropped his final bout in a CMU singlet when he lost 11-2 to Northwestern’s Johnny Sebastian.

The Chippewas will return seven starters for the 201819 season, including Smith, Oliver, Matt Stencel, Jordan Atienza, Drew Hildebrandt and Dresden Simon and sophomore Logan Parks.

Former tight end Conklin shines at Pro Day, raises NFL Draft stock

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

In high school, Tyler Conklin never expected to play in the National Football League.

The former Central Michigan tight end went to L’Anse Creuse High School-North in Macomb and made his way to Northwood University as a basketball player.

Then, the Chippewas stepped in and added him to their roster on the football team as a walk-on.

Now, Conklin is coming off a performance in front of all 32 NFL teams at CMU’s Pro Day and the NFL Combine.

“I think things went really well,” Conklin said on March 16.

“When I first walked on here, I went to Pro Day to watch. I didn’t know any players, coaches and had no clue how it went.

It’s been a goal of mine since I started playing football.”

Since the season ended for CMU, Conklin has not worried much about the words of NFL scouts. He said he will throw an NFL Draft Watch Party from April 26-28 for friends and family to enjoy the experience with him.

“I just try to work my butt off,” Conklin said. “I let the scouts do their jobs. I’m working to the best of my ability and will be here all March doing that. I’ll go home right after Easter and be home with my family before the NFL Draft.”

Conklin said he will never forget the experience of the NFL Draft Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium from Feb. 27 to March 5. In his career with CMU, Conklin earned 1,159 yards and 11 touchdowns on 83 receptions.

“Growing up watching the

Combine, it’s sweet,” Conklin said.

“It’s a dream and to be able to make it happen is a surreal feeling.

The coolest part was seeing all the other players going through the same thing as me.”

Room for Two? Tuesdays

ARE NOW

On March 14, the Detroit Lions released tight end Eric Ebron.

The Lions’ other tight end, Darren Fells, signed a deal with the Cleveland Browns. Since the Lions released their former first round

pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Conklin’s phone has been blowing up.

“As soon as it happened, a lot of people were talking to me about it,” Conklin said. “It would be sweet. To play for my hometown of Detroit would be awesome.

They are a throwing offense and have a great quarterback. The coaching staff looks great, so it would be awesome.”

Playing in the Senior Bowl, along with participating in the NFL Draft Combine and CMU’s Pro Day, Conklin said his draft stock has been flying upward.

“I showed everything a tight end does,” Conklin said. “I definitely helped my stock at the Senior Bowl and Combine. At Pro Day here, I wanted to show people my explosion to get in and out of routes and be fluid. We will see what happens.”

Bonamego has given Conklin a ton of information regarding the NFL experience.

Bonamego has been on an NFL staff with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions. He joined the Chippewas as the head coach on Feb. 9, 2015.

“People put values on different players,” Bonamego said.

“Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. Once this workout is done, (Conklin) may have a couple trips where people bring him in to do an interview.

They want to know more about the character.

“Beyond that, we will see what happens.”

According to his NFL.com Draft Profile, Conklin is projected to be drafted in the fifth or sixth round.

Baseball splits games against Northwestern in doubleheader

By Zach Libby Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

After nearly a month, the Central Michigan baseball team has finally won a game — its first since Feb. 18.

In Saturday’s doubleheader with Northwestern at Theunissen Stadium, the Chippewas split the pair of games, going over in the finale.

In the first game, NW won 5-2. In the second, CMU won 7-3.

Sophomore left-handed pitcher Tyler Hankins earned the victory.

He was 0-2 before his fifth appearance on the mound.

“I thought we played a heck of a second game,” CMU head coach Steve Jaksa said. “I was happy in the first game, thought we played hard, did a lot of good things, pitchers were good especially out of the bullpen.”

GAME 1: NORTHWESTERN 5, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 2 A throwing error by junior right-handed pitcher Dazon Cole in an attempt to first base was the catalyst in Northwestern’s opening run in the top of the first inning.

Second baseman Alex Erro later scored off a sacrifice fly to left field by designated hitter Jack Cleays.

It became 3-0 the next inning when right fielder Casey O’Laughlin brought home catcher Jack Kelly, who reached second base due to CMU’s second throwing error.

Despite runners at first and third, no runs were scored as Warren was called out at second base once first baseman Zach Heeke hit a soft grounder to the shortstop in the third inning.

Cole’s outing ended early after three innings, allowing three hits and three runs. Junior left-hander Tyler Brown came in for relief, lasting 3 1/3 innings and recording

two earned runs, four walks and two hits.

Wildcat shortstop Jack Dunn made it home from first baseman Willie Bourbon’s sacrifice fly to make it 5-0.

Freshman right-hander Logan Buczkowski ended the scoring spree with two strikeouts. CMU had a chance to comeback in the seventh, but left runners on base.

The Chippewas scored twice with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Both Warren and junior outfielder Daniel Robinson picked up an RBI.

GAME 2: CENTRAL MICHIGAN 7, NORTHWESTERN 3 The slight momentum CMU enjoyed during the final minutes of the first game carried over to the second, recording four hits and a run in the opening three innings.

“I think it’s just a mindset that you’re going to play the whole game,” Jaksa said. “It was important that we played the whole game in the first one, found a way to score a couple of runs. Again,

you’re only a couple of swings away from being right back in it.”

Hankins pitched eight innings, striking out six batters and walking three.

The Chippewas endured a span of four innings without recording a hit, after Kratt and LockwoodPowell had back-to-back singles in the bottom half of the third. They were the only two CMU players to get a hit before the seventh inning.

Junior outfielder Ty Rollin ripped a liner to left-center field for the standup double, eventually making it home on a throwing error and single up the middle by Cole for the go-ahead 2-1 lead.

UP NEXT CMU will finally make up its single-game series with Lawrence Tech on March 19 at Theunissen Stadium after it was postponed twice on March 14 and 15.

“It was a good win to get but we have to also get a little bit of momentum going, build a little confidence within the guys and keep going,” Jaksa said.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

ALUMNUS CREAN ACCEPTS HEAD BASKETBALL COACHING POSITION AT GEORGIA Mount Pleasant native and Central Michigan University graduate Tom Crean accepted the head coaching position with the Georgia Bulldogs’ men’s basketball team, the school announced March 15.

Crean signed a six-year deal with Georgia, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.

Crean has an overall record of 356231(.606) as a head coach.

Crean spent this season with ESPN as a college basketball analyst. This is similar to CMU men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis’ short-lived broadcasting career in between coaching jobs with the Big Ten Network.

Formerly, Crean was the head coach at Marquette and Indiana. At Marquette, Crean coached Dwayne Wade and company to a 27-6 record. Over his career, Crean has coached many college and NBA stars

including Wade, Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller.

Crean accepted the job after former Georgia coach Mark Fox was fired March 10.

Fox was the head coach at Georgia for nine seasons, and only made the NCAA Tournament twice.

Crean’s opening statement at his introductory press conference March 16 was 27 minutes long. He called the Georgia job an “honor” and expressed the potential of a Southeastern Conference basketball team.

“The power in this conference, and the way they have tried to make this something that has a real strong basketball footprint, I have a real feel for how powerful this is on a national level,” Crean said.
