Dean of University Libraries Luzius ‘no longer employed’ By Evan Sasiela and Quinn Kirby University Editor and Staff Reporter

Jeff Luzius is no longer employed by Central Michigan University after spending only one year as its dean of University Libraries. In an April 5 University Communications press release, Provost Michael Gealt announced Kathy Irwin was appointed dean of University Libraries, effective immediately. The release states Irwin replaced Luzius, but gave no reason why Luzius left the university. He began as dean of University Libraries in March 2017. Central Michigan Life attempted to contact Luzius via email and received the following automated

response: “Jeff Luzius is no longer employed at Central Michigan University.” A phone number for JEFF LUZIUS Luzius directed the call to Irwin, who was unavailable for comment. Gealt was contacted for comment. The request was relayed to University Communications. Director of Communications Heather Smith said the university does not discuss personnel matters and did not provide comment on Luzius. In an April 2017 interview with CM Life after beginning his new job, Luzius said he had been a librarian

LIFE IN BRIEF

for about 17 years and wanted to promote the library to the campus and community. “I’m still sort of in that evaluation mode, so I don’t want to come in and tell people they’re doing this wrong or do more of this,” Luzius told CM Life. “I am still learning, coming from the outside. Anything we can do to promote the library, to better service students.” Irwin was a finalist in last year’s dean search and served as interim dean from July 1, 2016 to March 1, 2017. She began as associate dean of libraries in 2013. “She has demonstrated her leadership across our libraries, including at various points supervising all of the library departments,” Gealt said of Irwin in the press release.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

SPJ PRESENTATION TO FOCUS ON SEXUAL ASSAULT STATISTICS IN MAC SCHOOLS Central Michigan University’s Society of Professional Journalists chapter will host a symposium on the availability of sexual assault statistics within Mid-American Conference schools at 7 p.m. April 12 in Moore Hall room 105. Out of all 50 states, Michigan is known for being the most difficult state to obtain information from using the Freedom of Information Act — ranking last in a 2015 national study by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity. For the past two months, SPJ has been gathering sexual assault records from 12 MAC colleges across the Midwest. While the sexual assault reports are important, it is the reaction from the universities to the FOIA requests that is being looked at. “The goal of this project is to see how FOIA interacts with universities outside of Michigan as well as inside,” said

Patricia Alvord, South Lyon senior and SPJ president. The event will begin with an introduction of what FOIA is and the process of gathering sexual assault records. Once some background has been given on the topic, the results will be revealed and explained. There will also be a panel after the presentation. The list of panelists is still being determined. For those unable to attend the symposium, there will be live tweeting of the event and there will also be a live recording on the SPJ Facebook page. Those looking for more information can be contact SPJ Treasurer Samantha Cuneo at cuneo1sl@cmich.edu or by phone at 616-204-9802.

Roth discusses filling in as university’s interim lobbyist By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Toby Roth believes everyone at Central Michigan University has to be involved when it comes to recquesting increased funding from the state. Roth was appointed to interim vice president for Government and External Relations on April 2 by President George Ross. Roth previously served as CMU’s director of government relations and public affairs. He replaces Kathleen Wilbur, who was appointed to executive vice president for Government and External Relations at Michigan State University last month. Roth

Q&A

Toby Roth Interim VP for Government and External Relations said he will remain in the position until a new president

appoints him, or another candidate, permanently. Roth has worked at CMU since 2001. He started by working on state appropriation issues and federal research funding initiatives. As director of government relations and public affairs, Roth worked to raise the profile of CMU in Washington, D.C. “While it’s our job to interact with legislature on a daily basis, students, faculty and administrators play a vital role in communicating how the state’s investment in higher education directly impacts the CMU community,” Roth said. “Our job in Lansing is truly a team effort.” Roth spoke with Central Michigan Life about his new position and the work he is

doing in Lansing and Washington, D.C. How will this new position differ from your previous one? Roth: The main difference is I will have other people reporting to me and other issues to deal with. Public broadcasting reports to this position. I will also be working closely with the (Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe). In addition, we will probably be working more with local officials. I have participated in those meetings previously, but it will be different being the leader of the meetings. How did you prepare for this position? I worked very closely with Kathy Wilbur for many, many years, so I’ve been preparing for this position for a long

time. I’ve sat in many of these meetings — even though I didn’t have direct control, I am very knowledgeable about these issues. What do you hope to accomplish in this role? I want to continue the work we’ve done in the past few years. I’d like to keep working with students, faculty and my colleagues on various issues. We are facing many issues in Lansing: the higher education budget, a capital outlay bill and several university programs we want to make sure we have funding for. How do you make sure CMU receives funding from the government? I have been actively talking with state legislators about CMU and the importance

state funding plays in the success of our students and the role CMU plays in the state’s economy. In 2001, Michigan ranked No. 20 in per capita state fiscal support for higher education, compared to No. 43 today. We need to remind the legislature that it isn’t just about appropriating dollars for CMU – it’s about investing in the future of our state. Another priority is to remind state and federal legislators that our faculty and students participate in Great Lakes research projects and that CMU researchers are leading a $20 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to monitor and assess Great Lakes coastal wetlands.

Mayor Quast-Lents to run for State House By Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Slightly overwhelmed but at peace with her decision, Mount Pleasant Mayor Allison Quast-Lents announced she is running for the State House of Representatives for Michigan’s 99th district. “We really need a champion in Lansing helping to make sure (Michigan residents are) getting the resources we need,” QuastLents said. “When I realized we need that, and that I’m doing that on a small scale here now and I might have an opportunity to make great change, and make all of the communities within the district stronger, I thought ‘OK let’s do it.’” Quast-Lents is the only Democratic candidate to enter the race. She will campaign against State Rep. Roger Hauck, R-Union Township, if she wins the primary election. The seat has been held by a Republican since the 1930s. “It’s not going to be an easy win, but it is certainly doable,” QuastLents said. “I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think it was doable.” With the April 24 deadline approaching, Quast-Lents is in

the process of putting together a committee, which must be done before she continues ALLISON QUAST-LENTS with her campaign. Also in the works is a website and endorsement letters. The process is moving quickly, she said. A public kick-off party will be held at 5 p.m. April 19 in the old New Yorker building downtown Mount Pleasant, located at 117 South Main Street. House Minority Floor Leader Christine Greig, D-Farmington Hills, will be there to speak about the need for strong women in public office, and why she is excited about Quast-Lents decision to run. Another speaker, a friend of Quast-Lents, will be speaking on a personal level as a friend, advocating for her as a candidate. Quast-Lents has been serving on the Mount Pleasant City Commission since 2016, as a commissioner, vice mayor and now mayor since January 8, 2018. Part of her decision-making process to run for state rep. involved talking to her friend and mayor of Ypsilanti, Amanda

Edmonds, who encouraged QuastLents to run. “She’s an amazing, amazing woman and I am inspired to be like her when I get (popular),” Quast-Lents said. If she wins the position, she understands that her voice won’t be as loud at the state level, and to know what will be happening in Lansing a year from now, is impossible. “It’s hard to say what exactly I’ll be working on,” Quast-Lents said. “I want to help make communities stronger.” While legislation is important to her, Quast-Lents believes the most valuable thing she could do as state representative is to express the wants and needs of her district at the state level.” From the district’s infrastructure to it’s schools, she wants to help rally behind teachers, entrepreneurs and the organizations that exist in each community. “There are all these things, and we have people in our community that we are rallying behind – the homeless population, this population in our community that are living in poverty – but to really affect change in the people, we have to help get some of the road blocks out of the way,” QuastLents said. “So — how can I be that person?”

APRIL 9, 2018 | CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

Four years ago this month, Michigan made national headlines for what is now widely perceived as one of the worst administrative failings in state history — the Flint water crisis. In April 2014, Flint residents began to make noise about the color, smell and appearance of their tap water. Rather than a clear and healthy white-blue color, Flint's tap water was the color of yellow-brown sludge. In some parts of the city, The Washington Post reported that lead levels in the drinking water were high enough to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's classification of “toxic waste.” The city took the national spotlight with this tragedy. Flint was on the cover of Time magazine, almost every cable news network daily and became the subject of a number of documentaries, books, television shows and even a theatre production written by Jeff Daniels, a former Chippewa. Fast forward to April 6, 2018. The City of Flint is now ending bottled water distribution for its residents, citing that lead levels have fallen below unsafe levels. In a perfect world, this would mean Flint residents could confidently turn on their taps and drink clean, pure water right at home. This isn't the case. Flint residents don't want the bottled water program to end. Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said many feel uneasy putting faith back into a system that's resulted in 15 deaths linked to unclean drinking water. This is understandable, considering more than 4 percent of water samples collected from Flint Community Schools' drinking water still tests positive for unreasonably high levels of lead, according to an article from MLive’s The Flint Journal. On April 5, Weaver wrote a letter to Gov. Rick Snyder, expressing apprehension over cutting the free bottled water program so quickly. In

FLINT

NEEDS

WATER

her letter, she wrote that in Flint, there's a "great anxiety over the potential end to the supply of bottled water" and that funding is still "needed to continue the operation of water distribution sites." It's not surprising Flint residents are anxious. After being failed by an administration that let high lead levels go unaddressed, it can be difficult to learn how to trust in a system again. So what can be done to help? CMU's ties to Flint are strong. From Flint students being a sizable demographic on campus to the university having a Global Campus facility in Flint, CMU and Flint are intertwined. Even our university President George Ross hails from Flint. We've raised donations for the city during the height of the water crisis. We've sent our Mobile Health Bus down to Flint for assistance regularly. Faculty members have even dedicated time, research efforts and money toward producing the documentary "Nor a Drop to Drink," highlighting stories of those most affected by the water crisis. Just because Michigan's government is pulling out of helping Flint doesn't mean we should. Philanthropy and volunteerism are some of the many tenets CMU students pride themselves on — we see this regularly with events like Mock Rock or through the work of the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. Individual water donations can still be made to local Flint organizations like the Red Cross or to a number of churches listed on the City of Flint's website. Call and see what type of resources or help is needed. If you can't donate money or water, donate your time at the still open distribution centers. Water will continue to be distributed until the last bottle, Weaver said, which she estimates might run out by the end of this week. The more bottles they have, the longer the distribution centers stay open. We have the power to keep those doors from closing. We have a moral obligation, not just as CMU students but as Michigan residents, to keep that from happening. Clean water is a right — not a privilege. As the national spotlight dims on Flint, we cannot let the city's problems be forgotten.

Pleasant City Coffee strives for authentic atmosphere By Nicole Dunneback Staff Reporter

Pleasant City Coffee

news@cm-life.com

Located in downtown Mount Pleasant, Pleasant City Coffee lives up to its name. It’s a quaint coffee shop and an ideal location to meet with friends, study or just grab the shop’s specialty Banana-nut latte and peoplewatch from the windows. The shop is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tuesday it’s only open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., based on the fact that there’s been no foot traffic on Tuesdays. Owner Joshua Agardy has managed the shop for threeand-a-half years, as well as filling any vacant server positions. As summer approaches and the two current employees — both Central Michigan University students — plan to leave town. Agardy is on the lookout for a new hire to fill in on weekends over the summer. How would you describe the atmosphere of the establishment? Agardy: “It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, it’s very focused on studying or visiting. We’re kid-friendly and I work with one of my babies once or twice

What is your shops speciality? Our specialty is the quality of coffee and the sourcing. The coffees we get are sourced directly from farmers, for quality and for efficiency. (We want) the farmer to get more of the resources back, so it’s roasted to perfection by Uncommon Coffee Roasters. They’ve done this for 20 years and I believe they have the best sourcing and the best roasting techniques in science, that we could possibly get. The quality of our coffee stands for itself and I give them

all the credit — I serve it the way they request me to do so. What inspired you to open a coffee shop? I opened the coffee shop because there was not a coffee shop in downtown Mount Pleasant three-and-a-half years ago. I figured, being from here and living all over the country, to come back and open a special coffee shop in my hometown. To fill the vacancy of an actual coffee shop, where people can meet and greet and have a great cup of coffee and study or just enjoy taking a step away from the outside world. How has business been going? It’s picked up again here — January is always slow, so February the start of getting busy again which is always nice. The weather breaks and people want ice drinks and ice lattes to walk down to the parks and enjoy the beautiful weather. It’s always good for us when the weather gets better. Winter is hard — people don’t like to get out of their cars for the cold weather. What kind of reactions have you received from the community? (It’s been) all positive.

The 25th Annual

Greeks raised a recordbreaking $100,000 during their annual Greek Week — a two week event that focused on raising money for Women’s Aid Shelter and Special Days Camps. The winners of Greek Week were chosen by the number of points and money donated during the course of the twoweek span. Although Sigma Pi and Alpha Chi Omega took first, runners-up Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Kappa and Sigma Gamma Rho were just as pleased with their results. During Greek Week’s annual Mock Rock on April 1, members of Greek Life

cluded items to promote both philanthropies, stemming from slogans to logos of the charities. Special Days Camps is an organization that provides camping experiences to children with cancer as well as their families. Women’s Aid Shelter seeks to heal, restore and empower women who have suffered from domestic and sexual abuse through shelter, treatment, education and social change. Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Pi included a message about the #TimesUp movement in the beginning of their routine. Not only did they print #TimesUp on the back of their t-shirts, but also included elements such as

Oliver, Smith granted release from CMU wrestling program sports@cm-life.com

Junior 149-pound wrestler Justin Oliver and sophomore 141-pound wrestler Mason Smith have been granted their release from the program. Each wrestler confirmed their release with Central Michigan Life, and agreed to elaborate on the decision later in the week. Oliver qualified for the NCAA Tournament the last three seasons. He has compiled a record of 89-21 at CMU, including All-American Honors in 2016. Oliver was ranked as high as No. 3 at 149 pounds this season, according to InterMat, a college wrestling website that ranks athletes. He was seeded sixth in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. Oliver hasn’t spoken to any schools yet, but is interested in Penn State, Iowa State, North Carolina State, North Dakota State and “anywhere that will help (him) become the best wrestler (he) can be and win a national title,” according to a FloWrestling report. “I want to thank my coaches

Smith ended his four years at Clio High School with a 165-10 record with two individual state titles. Both Oliver and Smith were named MAC Freshman of the Year in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Their departures, along with the graduations of Colin Heffernan, CJ Brucki and Jordan Ellingwood, leaves the Chippewas with only five starters from last season. There are two other 149-pound wrestlers on the roster who could replace Oliver next season — freshmen Nolan Saxton and Luke Raczkowski. Saxton competed in four dual meets and lost each bout last season. There is only one other wrestler listed on the roster at the 141-pound spot, redshirt freshman Reiley Brown. He has only cracked the starting lineup once, but compiled a 12-13 record in tournaments last season. Central Michigan Life contacted CMU Athletics for comment, but it has not yet responded.

Innovative student fashion designs brought to life in Threads Fashion Show

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer

A model walks down the runway wearing Jason Gagnon’s line “Phoenix Rising” on April 7 at Finch Fieldhouse.

s the blue and green atmospheric lighting and upbeat music died down in Finch Fieldhouse, many audience members could only find standing room at the sold out 20th anniversary of Threads Fashion Show on April 7. The student-run fashion show was organized and planned by 44 students in the FMD 357 class “Fashion Show Production and Promotion.” In total, 21 student designers showcased their collections, which were modeled by 95 student volunteers. In honor of the show’s theme, “Threads 2.0: The Evolution,” this year’s runway setup was different than in years past, comprising several connected tents containing small runways and seating areas lining the perimeter of Finch instead of one large stage. Rather than a traditional runway, models strut through tents so each tent’s audience viewed the collections in a different order.

ng old, Something new

ICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

Threads 2018 Produced by Alexis Kelly Alyssa Kohler Leah Robinson T he Threads Fashion Show provides a platform for aspiring apparel designers and for students desiring experience in aspects of fashion production; public relations, photography, video production, graphic design, model management, choreography, stage lighting and design, web design and program guide development.

Alli Rusco | Staff Photographer Dearborn sophomore Marissa MaldonadoHammond helps a fellow model before the show on April 7 at Finch Fieldhouse.

Dior fashion illustrator Bil Donovan was the special guest. Outside of the tents containing the runways, a small exhibit featuring sketches he had prepared for the show could be viewed in the middle of the room, along with other student-designed garments, photography and print pieces. Before the show began, mounted models stood outside of the tents, showing off some of the designers’ pieces that would not be featured in the show. Grand Rapids senior Brianna Wildey was one of the mounted models, participating in both the pre-show exhibition and the walkthrough of all of the models for the show’s finale. It was her second year modeling for Threads, which she said was very different than last year due to the new runway setup. “It’s a whole new experience than it was last year, and it was a little hectic at times,” she said. “But it was so much fun being a part of it again. I just love working with my designer (Cavellier) and modeling in Threads.” Wildey wore a “hospital gown for teens” designed by Megan Cavellier. It was designed to be a “comfortable and functional alternative” to ill-fitting hospital gowns, Wildey said. Cutting edge and futuristic pieces — ranging from gothic wear to elegant bridal gowns — were showcased on models strutting through the tents during the show. Student designer and Eagle senior Phoebe Boutwell said her collection, “Rainbow Dream” was inspired by The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” animated movie, and she wanted to incorporate a variety of bright, psychedelic colors. It was her last year participating in Threads. “It’s bittersweet, but I’m really happy with how it turned out,” Boutwell said. During the show, audience members could vote online for their favorite collection, and the collection with the most votes won the Viewer’s Choice Award. After the finale, several designers received recognition and awards for their collections. Check out cm-life.com for the full list of winners. Royal Oak junior Julianna Saad, who participated and designed in Threads for the first time this year, received the “Fashion Illustration” award. “My collection was based on taking from the past, and how past fashions influence today’s fashions, so I named it ‘Looking to the Golden Days,’” Saad said. “I took inspiration from different historical periods like the 1920s and 1940s.” Saad said her first experience as a Threads designer was “amazing, nervewracking and tiring” and she hopes to keep branching out and improving her skill for next year’s fashion show.

MOCK ROCK CONTINUED FROM 8 Phi Mu president Jacqueline Orjada said her team practiced for more than 24 hours in preparation for their routine. Although practice was long, she said she couldn’t wait to show her skills along with her sorority and Phi Delta Theta on the court. “Greek Week is the best thing,” Orjada said. “It’s worth every penny to come out. It’s worth the enthusiasm — it’s the environment, it’s the fire. This is what we (mean) when we say ‘Fire Up Chips.’” Connor Haskins, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, grooved to 2008 hits such as “Let it Rock” by Kevin Rudolf and “When I Grow Up” by The Pussycat Dolls with Zeta Tau Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi. “You know in your heart that it’s for a great cause,” Haskins said. “You’re also rocking your heart out

multicultural chapter for some. Judges this year included First Lady Elizabeth Ross, Head Football Coach John Bonamego and his wife, Paulette, Central Michigan University Police Officer Laura Rico Mar-

tinez and communications and fine arts faculty member Bird Clarkson. Teams performed in order of the year assigned, starting with Chi Phi and Sigma Sigma Sigma at 2001 and ending with Alpha Sigma Phi, Phi

Sigma Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta at 2015. Midland junior Makiah Huebner said she came to support her roommates during this year’s Mock Rock. “I know that they’ve been working really hard,” Huebner said. “I came last year, and it was my first one — I’m excited to see the difference and how it all turns out.” Representatives presented the missions of their philanthropies and how the donations will provide aid to those being served through the organizations. Tammy Willis, a representative for Special Days Camps, also mentioned hosting a mock rock of their own at camp this summer. Chi Phi and Sigma Sigma Sigma won Money Wars — a competition of who can raise the most in donations — followed by runner-up Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Kappa and Sigma Gamma Rho. Alpha Sigma Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta won Mock Rock, while Beta Theta Pi, Delta Zeta and Phi Beta Sigma took second place.

Sophomore gymnast Pedrick to compete at NCAA semifinals By Avery Jennings Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Danelle Pedrick will move on to compete in the NCAA semifinals, despite her team placing last in the 2018 South Central Regional Championship. After four rotations in this year’s regional championship in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the Chippewas scored a 195.825. Alabama won the meet with a 197.225 score. Georgia finished second with a 196.5, followed by Illinois, University of Michigan and Missouri. Alabama and Georgia move on to compete in the semifinals as a team in St. Louis, Missouri at 1 p.m. April 20. For the Chippewas, Pedrick will be compete in the floor routine after securing a 9.9 score in the regional meet. “Hats off to Denelle for advanc-

ing, considering there were former Olympians and national team members competing alongside her,” said head coach Jerry Reighard. “I’m extremely proud to see her continue her journey this year.” CMU finished with its highest away meet score this season thanks to above average scores in all four rotations. The Chippewas finished their performance on floor with a 48.925. Although sixth place is not what the Chippewas were hoping for, they’re still happy they were able to travel to Tuscaloosa and compete, senior Katy Clements said. “Although we placed sixth, we knew we were meant to be out there,” she said. “We scored nearly a 196 and if you looked at us compared to the other teams, were earned our spot to be there and we were right there with the rest of them.”

Quinn Kirby | Staff Photographer Sophomore all-around gymnast Danelle Pedrick performs on beam March 15 during Central Michigan University Gymnastics’ final home meet of the 2018 season at McGuirk Arena.

For Reighard, this season has seen a tremendous effort from the senior class to guide the team as far as they

could go. “Today, their leadership showed,” he said. “ They presented well, they

were great leaders and examples this whole trip. It’s a testament to what they’ve done all season. They’ve won some championships, and created some memories for themselves that’ll last a lifetime.” The Chippewas finished as MidAmerican Conference Tournament Champions after the regular season. Throughout MAC play, CMU only lost once in a tri-meet with Bowling Green and Ohio State. Senior Bryttany Kaplan believes she and her teammates made an impact as their final season comes to an end. “With our senior class, I really hope we left as legends and as leaders,” she said. “I think we’ve taught this team and program a lot about leadership in general. We started out this season making history and we finished in the (MAC) championship making history.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RANKS NO. 25 IN ESPN’S ‘WAY-TOO-EARLY’ RANKINGS College basketball season has officially come to an end, however at ESPN, it’s never too early to begin predicting the 2018-19 season. ESPN released its annual way-too-early women’s basketball Top 25 April 6 and Central Michigan rounded out the field ranked 25th. The ranking comes after the Chippewas’ historic 30-win season that ended in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in a loss to Oregon in Spokane, Washington. ESPN awarded the Ducks with the No. 2 ranking. The Chippewas finished the 2017-18 season ranked No. 20 in the final Coaches Poll. Because of her team’s improbable run in the NCAA Tournament and overall performance, head coach Sue Guevara

was named Kay Yow Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year. This is one of many honors Guevara has earned for the 2017-18 season, including MAC Coach of the Year and coaching the first 30-win season in program history. CMU will lose four seniors from this year’s Mid-American Conference championship team, those being MAC Player of the Year Tinara Moore, all-time program leader in three-pointers Cassie Breen, Aleah Swary and Amani Corley. Starters returning for next season are juniors Reyna Frost and Presley Hudson, along with freshman Micaela Kelly, all of whom averaged double-digits this season. -Anthony Cook, Staff Reporter

Mallory strives to lead softball pitchers in future seasons By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

When Cloe Mallory joined the Central Michigan softball bullpen before the 2018 season, she knew it would be different than any other challenge she’s already faced. In high school, Mallory was named First Team All-State in 2016 and was a four-year letterwinner. She boasted a .60 earned run average and recorded 416 strikeouts in her career at Inland Lakes High School. The freshman was an ace at Inland Lakes. Now, she doesn’t have the same role. Mallory joined seniors Taylor Weaver, Hanna Warren and junior Laura Vaccaro who have already had collegiate pitching experience in the bullpen. “You’re used to being the starter (in high school), but when you enter a Division I sport you have to feel out your role,” Mallory said. “You have to find what you can contribute to the pitching staff and what spot you are.” So far, Mallory has already made an impact in the starting rotation. The Alanson native has started five games and made eight pitching appearances. She’s posted a 2-2 record with a 3.27 ERA. Mallory said the other pitchers have been welcoming to her since the first day she joined the team. “It was never intimidating at all,” Mallory said. “The three seniors have a lot of knowledge. They have so much to teach us and being a freshman, it’s extremely helpful to have.” Warren said teaching and giving advice to Mallory hasn’t been a challenge thanks

to her personality. “Cloe’s very unique, she’s very personable and is always willing to learn,” Warren said. “To be honest, she’s just a special individual that came prepared to play at the college level. She’s an over thinker, in a good way. Cloe likes to think about how she’s affecting the team and is always working to get better.” During Mallory’s recruitment, head coach Margo Jonker loved her pitching traits. “Cloe had a lot of confidence and for being in high school was throwing with a lot of heat,” Jonker said. “Her rise-ball was really jumping. We really looked at her personality on the field and the pure ability to pitch.” Mallory only needed one trip to Mount Pleasant to know she wanted to come to Central Michigan. “They just seemed like a great family,” Mallory said. “Coach Jonker seemed like

another mom to me, it was really an easy decision.” While Mallory has struck out six batters this season, she’s walked 12 and allowed 12 earned runs on 33 hits. “(Cloe is) still trying to find her groove which will take awhile,” Jonker said. “She has to find her mechanics and become the pitcher she was again. I like who she is and love her work ethic, she will get back to where she needs to be.” Mallory understands there is a process that takes time to becoming a great college pitcher. She see’s herself being one of them in a few seasons. “Even as a freshman or underclassmen they talk about being a leader right now and I’m striving to be that,” Mallory said. “We have a great group here and I just want to make myself better while helping the team. “In two or three years, I want to be in the position our upperclassmen are at right now.”

SPRING REGISTRATION is OPEN NOW!

Mackenzie Brockman | Staff Photographer The newly named Keilitz Field is revealed April 7 during a ceremony at Theunissen Stadium.

Baseball field renamed to honor former player, coach Keilitz By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Dave Keilitz was Central Michigan baseball’s first All-American in 1964. After graduation, he returned to Mount Pleasant as the head baseball coach. He guided his teams to four Mid-American Conference Championships, then Keilitz served as the CMU athletic director from 1984-1994. One could say Keilitz has had a great impact on CMU baseball over the years. Now, the former player’s name will always be remembered to Chippewa fans. In a pregame ceremony April 7, the field inside Theunissen Stadium was named Keilitz Field. The former administrator was named to the Marcy Weston Hall of Fame in 2003, after coaching his teams to four MAC Championships after the transition from Division II to Division I. He earned four Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year awards during his tenure. The pregame ceremony also honored former coach Dean

Kreiner, who is the winningest baseball coach in CMU history. Their numbers, 33 (Kreiner) and 34 (Keilitz), were retired on the right center field fence. “(Kreiner and Keilitz) set the standard for all of us that are going to come after,” said head coach Steve Jaksa. “The legacy that they have created, it’s so fitting that we retire their numbers and that the field is named after the Keilitz family.” Both Kreiner and Keilitz are two the top three winningest coaches in program history along with current head coach Steve Jaska. The two former coaches have 10 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year Awards between them. “You know, I played for them,” said head coach Steve Jaksa. “From that standpoint, it means so very much. They were instrumental in helping bring me back here.”

CHIPPEWAS FALL TO KENT STATE Despite the pregame celebration, the Chippewas struggled against league-best Kent State, who was chosen to win the MAC before the season.

An eight-run seventh inning effort by Kent State sealed the 11-3 defeat for CMU in the first of a three-game series at home. With the loss, CMU fell to 9-191 and 4-3 in the MAC, dropping just below Kent State (16-9, 5-2 MAC) in the conference standings. Junior right-hander Pat Leatherman took the loss after pitching six shutout innings, falling to 1-4 as a starter this season. He finished with 10 strikeouts, seven hits and four earned runs. The Chippewas only recorded five hits during the game on the newly-named Keilitz Field. Kent State finished with 13 hits. Leatherman escaped the first jam of the afternoon as Kent State loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the third inning. Freshman shortstop Zavier Warren fielded a grounder to turn the lone double play of the day. The scoring drought ended in the top of the seventh, as Kent State loaded up the bases after Leatherman hit his third batter of the day. “We turned it over to the bullpen and we just couldn’t quite get it done there today,” Jaksa said.
