Suspected CMU shooter appears in court, medical records discussed

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

James Eric Davis Jr. appeared March 19 in Isabella County Trial Court at a hearing about the prosecution's possession of his medical records, which were ordered by the court to be returned.

Police believe Davis Jr. shot and killed his parents, James Davis Sr. and Diva Davis on March 2 in his room on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall. He is charged with two counts of homicideopen murder and one count of felony-possession of a firearm to commit a murder.

Davis Jr. appeared with his court appointed attorney, Josh Blanchard, in front of Judge Paul Chamberlain.

A competency examination was ordered by Chamberlain on March 12 to determine whether Davis Jr. is competent to stand trial. Blanchard told Chamberlain the prosecution petitioned search warrants for all of Davis Jr.'s confidential medical records — including any psychiatric evaluations — on March 6 and 7.

Since these documents were not court ordered, Blanchard felt this was a violation of Davis Jr.'s rights and asked that all the records be returned to the court

and accounted for.

Prosecuting Attorney Mark Kowalczyk said these medical documents are essential for the forensic psychiatrist to be able to formulate an opinion during Davis Jr.'s competency exam.

Chamberlain asked Kowalczyk what evidence the prosecution is looking for with the search warrant and how it ties to the investigation.

Chamberlain felt the prosecution did not need Davis Jr.'s medical record and ordered the prosecution to return all records to the court by March 20.

Davis Jr.’s next court date will take place following a competency examination.

Former CHSBS Dean Gates received $300,000 payout from CMU

By Evan Sasiela University Editor news@cm-life.com

Former College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Dean Pamela Gates received nearly $300,000 in compensation from Central Michigan University — five days before the university announced her Jan. 15 retirement.

Central Michigan Life received a copy of the separation agreement from the university after filing a Michigan Freedom of Information Act request.

Gates was appointed CHSBS dean in 2011 after serving as interim dean in 2007 and from 2009-2010. She was associate dean from 20012009 and prior to that was an English faculty member for more than 10 years.

Gates was named CMU Woman of the Year in 2011.

CMU agreed to give Gates a lump sum payment of $204,000, or the equivalent of a full year’s salary.

She also was paid $6,885 or the equivalent of what

the university would have paid toward her annual health insurance contribution.

Gates received $20,400, or 10 percent of her base salary that she would have received as an annual retirement PAMELA GATES benefit, as a final contribution made directly to her retirement account.

As consideration for her “irrevocable relinquishment of any rights flowing from her grant of tenure as faculty in the English Department,” CMU paid her an additional $68,000.

She was also eligible to receive additional compensation for vacation pay — up to 160 hours.

Gates earned bachelor's and master's degrees in English Language and Literature from CMU. Her doctoral degree is from Michigan State University.

CMU agreed to respond to all requests by stating dates of employment and positions held. The separation agreement also stated

The construction of the $26 million center was approved by the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees at their meeting June 29.

A groundbreaking ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. April 19 on the south lawn outside of the Health Professions building.

Trees have been cleared from the lawn west of the HP building to prepare for the construction of the new center, which will be attached to the current HP building.

Gates would be provided with a statement regarding her employment at the university and the contributions she made while she was an employee issued on CMU letterhead indicating her separation was a retirement, signed by Provost Michael Gealt.

A forum for just students takes place from 7-7:45 p.m. March 22 in French Auditorium, with a final open forum scheduled for 11-11:45 a.m. March 23 in Powers Ballroom — located on the second floor of Powers Hall.

The president isn't just the face of CMU. They aren't just a figure head.

They are the final say in many decisions that will impact your time here at CMU from the number of credit hours you have to take to graduate to the amount of money you pay in tuition dollars.

Don't you want someone who has your best interest at heart?

Don't you want to have the university choose someone to lead us who will interact and support students, not treat us like dollar signs or view college as a business transaction — a president who doesn't think of us as percentages or data points, but one who views us as students trying to better ourselves and our communities?

We do too.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | MARCH 22, 2018

Having grown up in pro-gun home, I support gun control Anyone who walks into my childhood home in Jackson, Michigan, will realize one thing pretty quickly: Kukulkas like to hunt.

No matter where you sit in the living room, it’s impossible to not see at least one of the 10 taxidermy animals that decorate the walls — which includes three black bears, multiple white-tailed deer and the head of a wild boar.

Though I haven’t set foot in any of my former tree stands and impromptu hunting forts since coming to college, my childhood was filled with more hunting misadventures than most people have in their lifetime.

I missed nearly the entire first week of my freshman year of high school so I could go bear hunting in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

I have a bear rug hanging from the wall in my former bedroom to prove it.

I dropped in and out of several sports in my youth, but I never faltered in my attendance of the Jackson County Sportman’s Club’s junior rifle training program. The shelf above my bed holds just as many paintedgold plastic trophies for my feats of target shooting as it does for football and basketball.

Mitchell Kukulka

Community Editor

The enthusiasm for firearms that defined much of my formative years extended beyond the family dinner table.

The tried-and-true bonding technique between many of my friends and I was to stage mock gunfights and reenactments of action scenes from movies. The highlight of many birthday parties was when we could all break into our stockpiles of fake guns and use the backyard as an imaginary battlefield.

I’ve witnessed firsthand the benefits responsible gun use can bring to the livelihood and morale of a working-class American family. I grew up with no fear of guns — I saw them as something everyone around me had and knew how to use.

I’ve also had the privilege of living a life

relatively unscathed by gun violence. I haven’t lost anyone close to me to firearms, which is unfortunately something fewer and fewer people in today’s society are able to say.

As prevalent as recreational gun use was during my youth, the passage of time changed some of my opinions — I came to see what the reality of unregulated gun ownership looks like.

I have enough firsthand experience with how effective and deadly hunting rifles and handguns are to know how ludicrous the thought of an average citizen owning an AR-15 is.

When National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch cites the “19-yearold deer hunter” as the ultimate victim of proposals that would raise the minimum age to purchase rifles to 21, I can respectfully disagree with Loesch as a former representative of that demographic.

For many American hunters, especially those of a young age, hunting is a family tradition. For me, and every young hunter I know, the guns we used were owned by

our parents. The act of hunting itself only occurred after many years of carefully being taught how to hunt responsibly and safely.

If they’re mature enough to go hunting in the first place, the 19-year-old hunters of the world can be patient enough to wait another two years to purchase their own firearms.

It can’t be stated and repeated enough: “gun control” doesn’t constitute “gun ban.”

The overwhelming majority of American gun owners would be largely unaffected by some minor changes in regulation.

The lives of the friends and family members of future victims of gun violence, however, could be spared from an unthinkable tragedy.

Guns as tools for hunting and self-protection for the everyday American aren’t going anywhere — they’re not under attack.

If the sense of security and self-worth that owning an assault rifle brings you is threatened by laws and regulations put in place to protect the lives of you fellow Americans?

Maybe you need to take a moment and reconsider what it means to be a sportsman.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Our campus parking nightmare could be solved with a garage TO THE EDITOR: Parking on any college campus can be a struggle at times, but here at Central Michigan University it has become an everyday burden to all students.

This year in particular the university had oversold parking passes — how? No one is very certain but because of this mistake the year has been almost impossible to find a parking spot even with a permit.

During my three years here at CMU parking has always been a known issue, and seems to have been in the past before my tine here but this year has been the worst of them all from word of mouth around campus. You may have to park off campus or just say “screw it,” and receive a ticket since having all spaces full in the available lots has become an everyday thing. With close to 27,000 students that attend CMU, the campus had provided us with five metered parking lots, and 17 permit lots that are for faculty and students with the specific permits. While 17 may seem like a large number for parking

spaces, but it isn’t.

The first issue with parking is the cost, after handing out thousands of dollars in tuition for the year, students must also fork over another $175 for a parking pass if they are off campus, and on campus students can pay $150. Then despite being on top of your parking needs, the school also offers no discount for purchasing a pass for a whole year in advance. Now with this cost comes with the overly expensive parking ticket you can receive if you park in the wrong spot, which is another $25. To me, this just doesn’t make sense. We are already paying so much for tuition, parking passes and tickets should be cheaper for students.

The next issue is the location of the parking spaces given. With close to 27,000 students, the fact the CMU hasn’t built a parking structure is a sad joke, yet they have the time to make new id scanners for the elevators. While 17 parking lots around campus may seem like enough, put into thought that half these lots are for faculty members only, then around the edges of

these lots meters are put into place and then the rest of the open spots are up for grabs. Lot 2, across from Anspach hall is the largest parking lot on campus but, yet all the spots are filled by noon. Finding a parking spot in the lot next to the library just isn’t possible. With these spots always being taken up, us students risk being late to class or having to park even farther away due to waiting for someone to leave which can take up to hours at a time especially during exam week.

The last important point is how much of an issue the students of CMU have expressed on social media, word of mouth and to Central Michigan Life. If you go onto twitter and type in ‘CMU parking’ hundreds of tweets from just this first semester will pop up bashing the campus for there horrible parking lots. With these tweets, are polls too asking if students would like to have a parking garage on campus, with one of these polls with over 185 votes, there was an 82 percent yes. Students, and myself included just don’t understand why the advisors of

parking or CMU in general aren’t listening to what the people are asking for.

Doing the research, even though CMU is around $20 million in debt, a parking garage is a needed thing for the upcoming school year and the best resolution for the issue of not enough parking spots. With parking garages costing around $8.5 million according to fixr.com, this is an amount of money CMU could come up with, with the help from generous donations, fundraisers and more.

Us students are not asking for a miracle to happen, and will not start parking on the front lawn of the buildings to be as close as possible to our next class but some extra convivence would be appreciated.

Asking the school to spend the money to close the lot across from Anspach Hall or even the Charles V. Park Library parking lot and build a parking structure with twice the amount of parking spots available now would be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

Suarez looks for diversity in programs Chicago native promotes inclusion, interaction in forum sessions

By Jeremy Agosta & Rob Linsley Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

Carmen Suarez drew on her background in education and as a Latina woman in forums held Monday for Central Michigan University’s vice president and chief diversity officer.

Suarez was the first of four interviews within the next two weeks for the CMU’s new position.

Suarez has recently served as vice president of Global Diversity and Inclusion at Portland State University. She also was the chief diversity officer, associate vice provost for Student Affairs and director of Human Rights Accession and Inclusion.

She served as the assistant dean at the School of Law Career Services, interim assistant vice chancellor for Enrollment Management and director of the Office of Diversity and Equity at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where she earned her doctorate of philosophy.

A Chicago native, Suarez said she self-identifies at Latina and speaks both English and Spanish. She said she would like the relationship-building the VP/ CDO position would bring.

Suarez said she wanted to move from Portland, Oregon because she likes traditional college towns.

During her time at PSU, she said she worked with the university’s student government to get more student involvement.

If she were hired, Suarez said she would set up listening sessions and meet people around campus, attend programs, offer aid to students and build a diversity council.

She wants to expand diversity in more fields like science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Suarez, who described her style as “direct,” said she is a strong advocate for a university affirmative action officer — having been one in the past — and similar programs. When asked how larger state and federal policy affects these, Suarez said programs can still exist without laws forcing them.

Suarez drew on her experience at University of Idaho as a way to engage with Native American groups in the Mount Pleasant area.

Suarez described her time at University of Idaho as eye-opening.

She said the Saginaw Chippewa tribe’s presence was a “compelling” reason for her to join CMU. Suarez also discussed her own experiences of discrimination that have been important in her life.

Suarez shared her story of being called an anti-Latina slur in the third grade by another 8-year-old.

“It’s not about a bad little boy,” Suarez said. “It is about, how did a little child know that word and know how to use it effectively? “(Being called this slur was) one of many of the things I experienced that bothered me — that made me feel less than fully participant and fully welcome,” Suarez said.

Suarez also critiqued what

she sees as overly-harsh ways of discussing diversity issues.

“You can’t (effect change) if members of your community feel talked at or talked down to,” she said.

Suarez said she agreed with the CMU Equity and Inclusion Task

Force’s priority recommendations report but believes some of the steps could be taken even further.

The full report is available on the “VP/Chief Diversity Officer Search” page on the CMU website, along with links to livestreams of candidate forums.

Corpening says to take interest in people Candidate emphasizes student success, change in discussion of diversity position

By Melissa Frick & Sara Kellner Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

Brian Corpening has spent 30 years working in higher education because he wants to make opportunities accessible to students.

Corpening was the second of four candidates for Central Michigan University’s new vice president and chief diversity officer position. Corpening reflected on the work he has done in those 30 years during his forums March 20 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

Corpening is the assistant provost for diversity and community partnerships at the Unviersity of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. He has also worked in leadership roles at St. Louis Community College, Bunker Hill Community College, Illinois State University, Hamilton College and Morrisville State College.

“Neither my mother nor father went to college,” Corpening said. “But, they instilled in me this power of education. I always felt a strong connection with education.”

Corpening opened by talking

about the philosophy and passion behind his work.

“It’s not about what I do, it’s about what I’m trying to do,” Corpening said. “I’m trying to create opportunities for individuals who want those opportunities. My passion is helping students achieve what they want to achieve.”

Corpening talked about the importance of engaging the Mount Pleasant community.

“My job is to work with students on campus,” Corpening said. “But my job is also to know what is happening off campus and how it affects students on campus.”

A student asked what Corpening’s definition of diversity was.

After some thought, he concluded that while diversity includes difference in race, religion and sexual orientation, it also includes difference in thought.

“Life would be boring if we agreed on everything all the time,” Corpening said. “But, we need to learn to disagree civilly.”

Corpening stressed that in order to make progress, students need to get out of their comfort zone.

“I believe in the power of being around individuals with different perspectives, different cultures,

Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer Brian Corpening responds to questions from faculty and students about his VP/chief diversity officer candidacy on March 20 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

different experiences, different knowledge,” Corpening said. “It makes you a more well-rounded individual. But you have to move out of your areas of comfort.

Sometimes discomfort is good.

Discomfort provides an opportunity for learning and growth.”

Corpening said he is the type of person who strives to create relationships. He added that creating relationships is the first step in changing culture.

“We need to create a culture where people take interest in an individual and find out what’s happening off campus or outside of class and be supportive of them,” he said.

Corpening said students have the power to create change.

“If you think about histori-

cally, the times change has occurred, students were at the forefront,” Corpening said. “Students

have a tremendous responsibility, but also tremendous power to bring change.”

He also emphasized that change does not happen overnight.

“Change is exhausting, yes,” he said. “But one day you look up and notice something completely different than you saw before.

That’s change.”

Corpening, who calls himself a “student advocate,” said one of his goals is to create opportunities for people to realize their goals.

“This is a community where we can exchange ideas and challenge each others ideas,” Corpening said. “We have to create opportunities to do those things.

The best place to do that is here, on a college campus.”

Phishing simulation to gather data, educate and raise awareness OIT seeks to combat email scams with help of staff, faculty

By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

A simulation being conducted through March will provide Central Michigan University’s Office of Information Technology with important data about phishing.

According to SANS Institute — an online organization committed to strengthening online security — phishing is a pinpoint attack against a subset of people with the goal of mining passwords or personal information like social security or credit card numbers.

The simulation targets a large number of willing participants comprising faculty and staff.

According to an OIT press release, participants are sent emails by OIT resembling those of a scammer. OIT will track responses and actions taken by recipients and use that information to determine how people react to phishing attempts, and how phishing awareness initiatives can improve.

Usernames and passwords are not stored. However, susceptible participants are provided resources on how to avert a genuine threat.

“The goal isn’t to trick people into falling for this, but it is being used to understand,” said Kole Taylor, communications manager of OIT. “We are going to be (simulating) what the scammers do.”

Phishers target a person’s sense of

urgency and feed off of that fear, Taylor said. Access is gained by embedded links and the release of confidential information.

The counterfeit emails can also target a person’s direct deposit, tax forms (UW2), passwords and linked accounts.

According to OIT’s webpage, CMU students, faculty and staff can avoid phishing emails by noticing improper verb conjugation, spelling mistakes, generic terminology and performing a “skeptical hover,” a technique of mousing-over a link to make sure it will send recipients to a

webpage they are familiar with.

Allowing a phisher access to a CMU email or account can cause a cascading effect, compromising linked accounts. Because of this, users should be careful using a university email as a recover or primary email.

If ever skeptical, Taylor said people should contact the IT desk or report it to spambusters@cmich.edu before responding or interacting with an email.

More information and phishing examples can be found online at it.cmich. edu/security.

This crime is not specific to CMU. It

is an infestation every organization and person with an electronic account system must examine and treat, Taylor said.

CMU may seem targeted at an excessive degree since its population of individual online accounts is proportionally large, Taylor said.

There are no places of reference or comparable statistics from other universities. Taylor said March’s simulation will establish a baseline from which the university can compare future studies.

“Phishing has always been around, but it is always on the rise,” Taylor said.

“It is a lucrative business.”

The simulation is part of a larger security initiative taking place over the next couple years, Taylor said.

The obligation came from an internal security audit.

In the future, OIT plans to perform simulations with student participants.

SGA candidates boast similar platforms, different experiences

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

Two students are running to be the next Student Government Association president at Central Michigan University.

The first of two presidential debates took place March 19 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. The debate, moderated by SGA Elections Director Jackie Smith, replaced the regular SGA meeting and produced a larger crowd than the 200 representatives.

Along with their running mates, each candidate stressed city and campus community involvement, sustainability and mental health.

Traverse City junior Jake Hendricks and SHANE GUENIN & ALLISON HARRISON Nashville sophomore Lyndi Rose of the Hendricks-Rose ticket said their platform focuses on active citizenship, inclusivity, sustainability and civic engagement. “(We want to) make our community better JAKE HENDRICKS & LYNDI ROSE and make our campus better,” Hendricks said.

Indiana senior Shane Guenin and Greenville senior Allison Harrison of the Guenin-Harrison ticket focused on mental health, partnerships with Greek Life and fostering stronger relationships with Registered Student Organizations, the Academic Senate and City Commission.

“Change — that’s what our platform is about,” Guenin said.

Guenin, a first-term senator, has championed

change by choosing a vice presidential candidate who has never attended SGA. “We think SGA can stand to change a lot,” he said. “The way we are currently doing things — legislation can die, not a lot of people know about us — I think what we really need is an outside perspective.”

The Hendricks-Rose ticket had a different approach.

“I do agree with Shane and Allison,” Hendricks said. “I think, however, experience is very important to have along with passion and drive. Knowing how different processes and cabinet function and the things behind the scenes is important.”

The spotlight on experience from the Hendricks-Rose ticket is expected. Both candidates have been involved in SGA for two years, with Hendricks currently serving as senate pro tempore and Governmental Affairs Committee chair and Rose currently serving as a senator and Spirits and Traditions Committee chair.

Each candidate answered questions regarding platform in support of mental health awareness, community building and environmental and fiscal sustainability with the same intent but different presentation.

This was demonstrated in both parties’ statements about following through with legislation passed by SGA. “We see the importance of recognizing once legislation is passed there are more steps to go,” Hendricks said. “We need to follow up on the legislation and make sure things are implemented that students want to see on campus.”

Guenin replied with something similar.

“What we see more of is legislation dying immediately after we pass it,” Guenin said. “By following up and having conversations with people with more power than us, we’ll make sure when we pass legislation we mean that we want it.”

The second presidential debate will take

place from 7-9 p.m. March 29 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

Voting for candidates will be open from April 1-6. The winning ticket will replace SGA President Anna Owens and Vice President Derek Sturvist in Fall 2018.

Mount Pleasant Mayor Allison Quast-Lents spoke at the meeting and discussed how she plans to improve student-city relations.

“Government is slow moving,” she said. “(But) Ypsilanti has one of their city commission meetings at (Eastern Michigan University’s) campus and they try to discuss campusrelated issues so the student body can see an actual city commission meeting.”

Quast-Lents is planning to push a similar event and said the next SGA president and CMU president may be able to help that happen this fall.

CHIPPEWAS HEAD TO THE SWEET 16

Women’s basketball faces Oregon in third round of NCAA Tournament

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

fter upsetting No. 3 Ohio State, head coach Sue Guevara and Central Michigan women’s basketball danced to the cupid

shuffle in the locker room — celebrating the team’s historic NCAA Tournament run.

“I tried to do the cha-cha on the court but I don’t know what the cha-cha is, so I was just moving my feet and my hips,” Guevara said. “I walked in the room and Tinara (Moore) was already dancing. As soon as I said ‘to the right, to the right,’ they knew what I was doing.”

The No. 11 Chippewas upset No. 6 LSU to win their first tournament in program history, then dominated No. 3 Ohio State 95-78 in Columbus, Ohio.

They now find themselves in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament, for the first time in program history.

CMU (30-4, 17-1 MAC) heads to Spokane,

Washington to face No. 2 Oregon (32-4, 16-2 Pac-12). The game is being televised on ESPN at 6 p.m. March 24.

“This team has never been complacent for 34 games,” Guevara said.

tournament “Cinderella” by ESPN and other sports commentators, the Chippewas are confident heading into the Sweet 16.

“We’ve worked hard. We knew we could do this and believe in each other,” said junior guard Presley Hudson.

“Working together and sticking with each other, that’s what we’ve been doing all season.”

ROAD TO SPOKANE After defeating Buffalo in the MidAmerican Conference Tournament Championship, Guevara and her team earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

In the first round of the tournament, MAC Player of the Year and senior Tinara Moore finished with a teamhigh 25 points as CMU upset LSU on March 17.

“I’m so grateful to be in the NCAA Tournament, I’m so grateful that we got this win under our belt,” Moore said postgame. “I’m also staying composed because we have another game to go.”

Two days later, CMU went on a 20-1 run in in the second quarter to silence more than 3,000 Ohio State fans and advance after winning the second NCAA Tournament game in program history.

“We withstood the punch in the first quarter,” Guevara said. “This team will not fold.”

Senior guard Cassie Breen, who finished the game with 22 points going 5-of-9 from 3-point range, doused Guevara with water after not getting an opportunity to do so after the MAC Championship.

Once the celebration concluded, and Guevara dried up, she called fellow MAC head coach Felisha Legette-Jack, whose Buffalo team also advanced to the Sweet 16.

“Our team was happy for them and they were very happy for us,” Guevara said. “No. 1 and (No. 2) in our league beat Florida State and Ohio State on their home floors, that’s big.”

again face a Power Five conference champion in Oregon, after beating the Big Ten Conference Champion Ohio State.

After winning 16 conference games, Oregon was named the Pac-12 Regular Season Champions before going capturing the conference’s tournament championship.

“They are very similar to what we are,” Guevara said. “They love the transition and they love the fast style of play.”

Similar to CMU, the Ducks have five players who average double-digits in scoring. Three of those five were honored as all-conference players in guards Maite Cazorla and Sabrina Ionescu and forward Ruthy Hebard.

offense in the country averaging 82.6 points per game, just behind CMU, which averages 82.7 points per game. The Ducks also led the Pac-12 in scoring.

In addition to leading its conference in scoring, Oregon leads the Pac-12 in scoring margin (+19.7), field-goal percentage (50.2 percent), 3-point field goal percentage (40.6 percent) and assists per game (19.4).

MATCHUPS TO WATCH PRESLEY HUDSON VS. SABRINA IONESCU Ionescu is an All-American guard from Walnut Creek, California. The sophomore averages 17.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

Ionescu stands at 5-foot-11 and will most likely line up against 5-foot-6

Hudson from the Chippewas. Despite the height differential, Hudson remains confident in her game.

“It’s a little harder but I’m getting used to it,” Hudson said. “I’ve got two under my belt now (facing bigger guards) so I just need to keep working.”

Hudson has a shooting range that allows her to stretch the floor against big opponents. After the MAC Championship, Hudson was asked if she had a range.

She said no.

The junior guard from Wayland, Michigan ranks Top 10 in the country with 122 3-pointers made.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | MARCH 22, 2018 a height disadvantage, but she will against 6-foot-4 forward Ruthy Hebard.

The reigning two-time MAC Defensive Player of Year will guard Hebard, who averages 17.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

“We’re versatile in the post.

We don’t have to do low post, we shoot threes, we can go high post,” Moore said, on the chal-

lenges of facing taller post players.

Hebard has not attempted a 3-point shot this season, so it will be important for Moore to contain her inside for CMU to come away victorious, she said.

In the Ohio State game, where the Chippewas hit 7-of-8 3-point attempts in the third quarter, Moore hit two straight 3-pointers for the first time in her career.

Central Michigan women's basketball isn't the only team chasing a postseason championship.

Men’s basketball will take on Liberty (21-14) in the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament at 2 p.m. March 24 at Vines Center in Lynchburg, Virginia.

The Chippewas (21-14) advanced to the quarterfinal round March 16 with a 98-94 victory against Wofford.

Against Wofford, sophomore forward David DiLeo scored 22 points and sophomore guard Kevin McKay added 21 points.

McKay recorded eight rebounds and six assists. Senior guard Josh Kozinski tossed in six 3-pointers to help CMU make 17 shots from 3-point range.

"Both teams were scoring at will," Davis said. "Good shooters were making shots. (Fletcher) Magee is a big-time player. Late in the game, we went to a box-on-one.

We weren't going to let him score 50 (points) on us and he didn’t.”

CMU downed Fort Wayne, 9489, in the first round of the CIT, which was played at War Memorial Coliseum. DiLeo scored 22 points and McKay had 20 for the Chippewas.

The win against Wofford was CMU’s first postseason victory since 2003. During that season, Chris Kaman led the Chippewas to a 79-73 upset victory over Creighton in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

CMU and Liberty have never met on the hardwood, but both teams have made multiple appearances in the CIT. Liberty advanced to the quarterfinals in all three of its CIT showings.

Liberty was one victory away from earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament, as head coach Ritchie McKay’s team upset No. 1 UNC Asheville in the Big South Conference Tournament semifinals, but fell to No. 2 Radford in the title game.

The Flames opened CIT action with a 65-62 win over North Carolina A&T on March 12.

"It is not ideal during tourney time to have 12 days off in between games, however, it has

allowed a few of our players to get over some ailments," McKay said. "Any time you get to play in a postseason tournament it is an honor and the CIT has provided great experiences for our players."

Redshirt sophomore forward Scottie James is the leader for Liberty, scoring 13.4 points per game. The 6-foot-7, 226-pound athlete pulls down 8.9 rebounds per game and shoots a team-best 61.2 percent from the field.

Liberty is ranked No. 5 in the NCAA Division I in free throw shooting, converting on 79.1 percent of shots. CMU, on the other hand, is ranked No. 2 with an 81.0 shooting percentage from the free throw line.

The Flames give up just 63.3 points per game. CMU scores 79 points per contest, which is 57th best in the nation, but allows an average of 73.6 points to opposing teams.

In the end-of-season NCAA Division I RPI, Liberty owned a No. 209 ranking out of 351 programs. CMU was No. 168 at the end of Mid-American Conference Tournament play.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

LINEMAN SLAUGHTER LEAVES FOOTBALL PROGRAM BEFORE SPRING PRACTICE Citing a lack of desire to be on the football field, Central Michigan offensive lineman Logan Slaughter announced he is leaving the program March 20.

He’ll continue to pursue a degree in Secondary Education, he said.

“I want to thank CMU’s program for all they provided me and did for me; the experience was truly invaluable,” Slaughter wrote on Twitter. “I will be forever grateful to CMU’s football program and staff.”

Slaughter was a three-star recruit and 49th overall player in the state of Michigan from the 2015 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He started at guard last season on Sept. 9 in a win at Kansas.

Slaughter left Mendon High School

with 49 total tackles, 28 pancake blocks, nine tackles-for-a-loss and seven sacks his senior year — earning the Southwest 10 Conference MVP and first-team MHSAA Division 7 All-State honors from the Detroit Free Press.

This leaves 11 offensive linemen on Central Michigan’s roster outside of the 2018 recruiting class with spring practice having begun March 18. CMU signed 6-foot-6, 260-pound, offensive tackle Nolan Eike.

The Batavia, Illinois, native rated at two stars out of high school, according to 247Sports.

Ostman talks National Scouting Combine snub, Pro Day work out

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

When the NFL Draft Combine committee picked players to work out at Lucas Oil Stadium from Feb. 27 to March 5, Central Michigan defensive end Joe Ostman was left off the list.

“I’m not on the NFL Combine committee, but I think he should’ve made it,” said tight end Tyler Conklin, who was invited to the combine.

“He was second in the nation with sacks, only missed two games and had a great overall career.”

Even though the 6-foot-3, 250-pound defensive lineman didn’t make the NFL Combine, Ostman said he is thankful for the opportunity to work out at CMU’s Pro Day March 16.

“I’m relieved I was able to perform pretty well,” Ostman

said. “Overall, it was a pretty good day. I was flexible and my body was ready.

“I will continue to work hard. I want to make a team, start in the NFL and get going on my career. I’ll keep working at it and see what happens.”

Conklin believed Ostman should have been on the list for the combine. However, CMU head coach John Bonamego believes Ostman’s absence was due to few question marks from NFL scouts.

“Guys get invited because they have holes in their resume,” Bonamego said. “We only see the workout, but the important piece is the medical piece. The other part is character assment in interviews.

“With Joe, there weren’t a lot of question marks. He is clean and healthy and there are no questions with his character.”

Moving to a linebacker in a 3-4 defense, Ostman is ready to accept the challenge and take on a new position in order to get a chance in the professional league.

“I stood up on the end in high school and am very comfortable in a 3-4 linebacker position,” Ostman said. “I hope to be able to play that at the next level.”

Bonamego has no doubt in his leader to make the switch with fluidity. He doesn’t believe Ostman will miss a beat.

“I think Joe is a guy who can do anything that he sets his mind to,” Bonamego said.

“These guys know what they are doing and what they are looking for.”

Since he did not make the NFL Combine, Ostman has been in Tampa, Florida training at Applied Science and w PRO DAY | 21

Hansen overcomes season-ending injury, ready for 2018 campaign

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

Just before the Central Michigan softball team departed for Florida to play games over spring break in 2017, Sara Hansen heard a noise she will never forget.

“I planted my foot the wrong way and there was a popping sound,” Hansen said.

“I couldn't move (my knee). I knew something was wrong.”

What the redshirt junior outfielder would later find out is she tore her ACL — forcing her to miss the entire season.

As a sophomore in 2016, Hansen led the team with 14 stolen bases — tied for ninth in the Mid-American Conference. She earned MAC Freshman of the Year and All-MAC Second Team honors in 2015.

Head coach Margo Jonker said it was tough to play without Hansen last season. She is happy to have the veteran back into the lineup.

“She was our starting center fielder and our best base runner,” Jonker said. “She learned how to become a leader off the field as well and it has been helping our group this season.”

Hansen went through rehab over the summer. She vis-

ited with multiple trainers at CMU. Since she is a Mount Pleasant SARA HANSEN native, she had access to more physicians.

“I could come in and meet with our trainers almost everyday, we would do different workouts and training for rehab,” Hansen said. “I think that really helped because not a lot of people have that access.”

When the 5-foot-5, Sacred Heart Academy graduate started practicing again, she tried to avoid the careerthreatening injury.

“I had been hearing a lot that it could tear again, but if that was going to happen it just would’ve,” Hansen said. “I just did what I normally did, I eventually got a (knee) brace in the fall but I didn't let it get to me mentally.”

Even though Hansen avoided a possible reinjury, that didn't mean she still had obstacles to overcome.

“The biggest adjustment was bending my knee with the brace and learning how to slide with the other leg,” Hansen said. “As of power and speed, it didn't

make much of a difference.”

Fellow junior outfielder Allison Curtis, who filled Hansen’s spot in center field for 2017, said she is thrilled to welcome her teammate back.

“It’s awesome — I love playing next to her and missed it a lot last year,” Curtis said.

“She’s really good out there as a leader by action and our chemistry is good so it makes everything run pretty smooth.”

Hansen has started 19 of 20 games and posted a .245 batting average. She’s knocked in three runs, recorded 12 hits and added three stolen bases.

“Right now, I’m just focused on us as a team finding more consistency,” Hansen said.

“We have little spurts where we play really well and some where we don’t. We need to find more of the good ones and bring that every game.”

“I feel like I had a good week at the Shrine game and was able to prove myself, which you have to do coming from a small school,” Ostman said. “I feel like I’ve been able to prove myself to a point.”

Ostman was recruited by former CMU head coach Dan Enos in 2013 class from LaSalle High School in St. Ignace, Michigan. He was a two-star

prospect and is grateful for the opportunity to become a Chippewa.

“I am very thankful to have Dan Enos and Coach Bonamego help me in this process at CMU,” Ostman said. “There’s a lot of memories and I’m thankful for everything.”

Conklin said Ostman could be the biggest steal in the 2018 NFL Draft.

“At the end of the day, he’s going to be a great football player,” Conklin said. “Whoever gets him will be lucky.”

According to his NFL Draft Profile, Ostman is projected to be drafted in the sixth or seventh round. Ostman earned a 5.24 rating, out of 10.

O

n April 18, 2007, Central Michigan Life reported the hiring of Sue Guevara as the new head coach of women's basketball.

Then-Central Michigan University Athletics Director Dave Heeke announced Guevara's hiring in a press release the day before.

"I am excited to name Sue Guevara as our new women's basketball head coach and feel she is the right person to take this program to the next level," Heeke said. "Sue's energy and desire to be successful were two main factors in our decision."

Guevara was hired

HROWBACK

Local comic shop aims to make a connection with students

By Emilly Davis Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Nestled in the back corner of the plaza located at 1620 S. Mission St., across the parking lot from Insomnia Cookies, is the Hall of Heroes, a small but vibrant comic book shop.

The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, except for Wednesdays, when the store gets new comics and is open from noon to 8 p.m.

Bright yellow posters that read: “MOUNT PLEASANT HAS A COMIC SHOP?!” have been pinned up on bulletin boards in hallways across Central Michigan University’s campus.

Many CMU students seem to be unaware there is a comic book store in Mount Pleasant, including Rockford junior Tanner Vesche, who said he would definitely go to the store if he knew more about it.

The store’s owner, Michael Shuler, is the man who made the bright yellow posters.

“We’ve been (on Mission Street) for three and a half years, and a lot of people don’t know we’re here,” Shuler said. “I’ve had a lot of people come in who will say stuff like, ‘I’ve lived here 10 years and I didn’t know you were here.’”

Shuler runs Hall of Heroes alone. In May, he will have owned

the store for 13 years.

He bought it from its previous owner, who he used to work parttime for at the comic shop.

“I always wanted to own a bookstore since I was in high school,” he said. “It was a nice coincidence that I was able to buy it at that time.”

Hall of Heroes is filled wall-towall with shelves stuffed with the glossy and vibrant pages of comic books, but that’s not all the store has to offer. Shuler has friends who help him host weekly game nights, including tabletop games like HeroClix and Dungeons and Dragons, which takes place at about 6 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Before the store moved locations, it hosted many regular game nights and focused on gaming a lot more than it does now. However,

Shuler said the tabletop gaming community is losing popularity as more people are gravitating toward online gaming.

“When we bought the old store, (the original store) had a very thriving gaming community,” he said. “When we moved here, it just kind of died out. It gave me an opportunity to focus on just comics, which is what I wanted to do in the first place.”

In summer 2017, Shuler said many of the other business in the same strip mall folded. Due to that and major construction projects in front of the plaza, which blocked the view of the store, many customers assumed Hall of Heroes had closed too. The shop's business has slowed down.

Other times, people have had problems finding the store’s correct

location, such as Milford junior Max Smolin.

"I knew there was a comic book store, and I want to go check it out because I love comics," Smolin said. “I have no idea

where it is."

Shuler said this is a result of the company having to move so many times.

“There are websites that have us listed as being downtown (in Mount Pleasant), where we were 10 years ago,” he said. “Other places have us listed at our location from three years ago. It’s really frustrating.”

A lot of times, people find the store by accident, Shuler said.

It’s not uncommon for someone to go to Insomnia Cookies or Shin’s Korean Restaurant, then stop by Hall of Heroes for the first time because they noticed it in the back of the parking lot, he said.

“I get a really good response when people do find us. It’s nice when people run across us eventually," he said.

That’s not to say that Hall of Heroes doesn’t have its share of dedicated customers, though.

Next to the checkout desk at the front of the store sits a box stuffed with comic books that have been ordered by avid readers, who pick them up each Wednesday, when new comics are released.

When asked about his plans for the future of the store, Shuler laughed.

“We’re moving again in a few months,” he said. “The lease is up, and we’ll be moving at the end of April.”

Shuler is in the process of researching places for Hall of Heroes new location. He hopes to have a good idea for a location by early April, after which he will announce the new location on the store's Facebook page.

English major discusses dreams of being a writer, professor

By Isaac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

As a writer, New Baltimore sophomore Stone Slominis tries to filter the outside world through his own creative lens.

Slominis is an English major specializing in literature and enjoys reading and writing in his free time. Those who know Stone say he is a student who loves to exist through story and has his own standards he wants to live up to.

Central Michigan Life spoke with Slominis about negating criticism in the Liberal Arts and his future as a writer or professor.

CM Life: What is art to you?

Slominis: “The fewer number of people working on something, the closer it is to art. The most artistic things are done by one artist—one artist’s painting on a canvas or one author’s words in a book.

Once you get editors, it becomes deluded. The purest form of art is when one person has an idea that they express. Even in music, when you have multiple people writing a song, it can get muddy.”

Is there a story behind your name?”

Personally, I call myself “Salami.” Slominis is from Poland and was Slominski until it was changed. My mother told me that my middle name is Martin because, if I ever were to become a

celebrity, I could change my name to Stone Martin. It sounds like a guy you would remember.

As for my first name, no, not really. (My parents) liked SS, until I let them know that it stands for the Nazi secret service. They didn’t think about it and were probably making sure not to name me “Adolf Hitler.”

But I like my name because I have only met four other Stones. One attends CMU. He moved into my old dorm room.

Somebody probably saw it and thought it would be funny. If I was put in that position, I would have done it on purpose.

Why do you specialize in literature?

Grammar, if you stick too close to it, is not in your best interest.

Rules are set in place so you may learn to find the cleverest way to break them. Shakespeare made things up, like “sticking-place,” or “Oh, I’m in a pickle.” He was the first (recorded) human being to say these things. His works are art and pieces of literature we read to this day. It’s considered the best in the world, which is not at all an unpopular opinion.

Which author has inspired you the most?

Depends on the day. In my actual writing, I try not to imitate.

T.S. Eliot says, “Good writers borrow, great writers steal.” If you put everything in your perspective and filter it through your lens, you’ll get

something great. I try to put life through my own lens. I write for myself, but I like making character sketches because it builds another being up.

I don’t want to be published.

Writing should be for yourself a lot of times. Kurt Vonnegut described it as a tape on the back of your tongue. You are pulling on it and pulling on it. That is why a lot of authors think about killing themselves, because it is a tired motion.

What are your plans for the future?

I would love to be a professor.

Honestly, I feel a lot of people say

it, but I would like to write on my own. You can’t say that ever.

You can’t say, “Oh, I want to be a writer.” You can only think it. You have to be working toward it while working toward something else.

That way you can take either route, whatever one opens up. It’s like a plan A and a plan B type of deal.

My parents taught me to do it, so I might as well do it.

I would love to write for a living, but I could never write as a journalist. I could never walk up to the person whose baby has just drowned and interview them.

Does this stem from the criti-

cism that often surrounds the Liberal Arts?

Criticism I take like a king. If you’re straight up wrong, I am going to tell you. “Everyone’s opinion matters,” which was said by Socrates or someone important. I agree that you can’t say, “Oh, I’m going to be an artist,” and exclusively go for it unless you get that little bit that you bite. You have to get the hook first. If you put everything you have into becoming an artist, you might die. There is a certain nobility to starving to death.

However, death cuts you off from doing the thing you want to do.

You need life first before you can write or be an artist.

Writing has to be the secret plan A. It’s better to say “I want to be a professor,” because it’s easier to explain to people. You don’t get the old, “Oh, but no one does that anymore” if you say (you want to be a) professor. I don’t want to hear, “Oh, are you sure you want to do that? It’s not stable,” or “You can’t rely on art.” I don’t want to hear it.

I understand, so I say “professor,” because then people go, “Hey,

that’s a profession that gets paid well. That’s a normal thing.”

How would you structure your classroom?

Structure may be the wrong word. There is a lot of structure in science and math, but in English, it should be about thinking, analyzing, and being critical about pieces of literature. I’m not one of those “born in the wrong generation” pukes, but I would love to see a world where thinking takes center stage. I don’t want to sound pompous because I don’t consider myself intelligent. I believe there is almost a striving toward unintelligence.

You should always be thinking, in my opinion.

For myself, I never want to stop thinking and figuring out what is going on, even if it is deciding what I’m going to have for dinner. A lot of it is the way the schools are set up, especially in early education. They beat the kids over the head with facts and don’t give them enough time to enjoy thinking.

I would want to provide my students with an environment that few professors provide.

You don’t have to lose even if your bracket does!

IM TEAM OF THE MEET

WEEK

ZETA ZAPPERS

We spoke to Sarah Stockford, Captain of this weeks Team of the Week.

If you had to describe your team in one word, what would it be?

Dedicated. They were all always at every game and loved to play and have fun.

What's your favorite part about playing IM Sports?

My favorite part is the team aspect of it all and being able

to play sports we love again. A lot of us played high school sports but never went on to play in college and to be able to play the sports we love again through IM is something that is really cool that we get to experience.

What's your favorite memory with your team this season?

My favorite part was when we won the IM Soccer Championship game. Our team was mostly seniors and it was exciting to win for their last year playing IM Soccer.

How does your team prepare for a game?

Some of them workout before games so they are already

warmed up when they start. But before games they usually just shoot around and and give our goalie, Lindsey, some practice.

Anything you’d like to say to your team?

I can't take any credit for myself, I just signed them up and got the pleasure to watch them every game. I think they killed it this year and it was really fun to watch everyone having fun and enjoying playing together. They are all a great group of people and I think we had a really awesome and fun year.
