Three more units endorse vote of no confidence

Eight departments now support A-Senate decision By Catey Traylor Senior Reporter

Eight departments have now endorsed the Dec. 6 vote of no confidence against University President George Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro. The Biology Department voted to support Academic Senate’s vote of no confidence last Tuesday, and the Department of Journalism and the Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development voted last Friday. This makes a total of eight departments that have endorsed the vote. The Department of Journalism also voted against the Faculty Association’s decision to withhold vote totals after their Jan. 12 contract ratification. “In a separate vote, the department’s personnel committee — tenured and tenure-track faculty — unanimously object-

ed to FA’s refusal to release the vote totals on the recent contract,” said Associate Professor of Journalism Tim Boudreau in an email. In addition to a unanimous vote of support, the Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development passed a resolution. Faculty member Norma Bailey said the resolution was outlined in an email to Central Michigan Life on Friday. “We direct our chairperson to forward the resolution to the Board of Trustees with our call that its concerns be addressed,” the resolution states. “We also give the authority to our chair to support such a measure when this matter is discussed and/or voted on at the Council of Chairs.” Biology Department Chairman Stephen Roberts said the department endorsed the motion to support the vote of no confidence after being introduced by Phil Hertzler at a recent staff meeting.

Two of the Office of Information Technology’s largest projects this academic year are beginning to grow in popularity, according to the January OIT update. One project, the virtual lab, can be downloaded to the computer of any Central Michigan University student, allowing them to access the software in on-campus labs from any location in the world. Software available via the virtual lab includes Microsoft Office and Adobe Design Premium CS5, which would normally cost more than $2,000 combined. “I think it’s awesome, and it’s going to help me a lot for what I want to get done with school and on the side,” Westland freshman Amy Hein said.

Hein is a graphic design major who said she looks forward to using Photoshop and Illustrator for different projects. Adding this virtual lab for the ease of students cost CMU about $100,000 last summer, according to a previously published story by Central Michigan Life. Along with the software, students can also use the virtual lab to print to one of the kiosks on campus. “The intention is to get rid of the restrictions of only being able to use PrintQ from specific physical locations, like our physical public labs,” IT Vice President Roger Rehm said. Two print stations were introduced in the Charles V. Park Library in October 2011, and more recently, stations were installed in the Bovee University Center, Grawn Hall student Lounge and the Wo l d t / E m m o n s / Fa b i a n o lobby. A TECH | 2A

etween New Year’s resolutions and spring break weight loss goals, the Student Activity Center has been the busiest it will be all year in the past three weeks. On average, 2,000 people visit the SAC daily, but between the months of January and March, the average number of people per day jumps to about 3,000. It takes 250 student employees to operate the SAC on a daily basis. Building Supervisor and Fitness Specialist Robbie Williams has worked at the SAC for five years and said the increase in visitors happens yearly. “Typically, we’re really busy in the fall when everyone gets back to school. After about a month or so, it mellows out a lot,” he said. “Once everyone gets back from Christmas break though, it’s the busiest time of the year. For two to three solid months, the SAC is packed.” With so many people frequenting the SAC, equipment maintenance is essential. “We have a phenomenal

equipment maintenance team. They check every piece of equipment each night and make repairs immediately,” said Jennifer Nottingham, director of programs and administration at University Recreation. “Vendors are amazed at the life we get out of our products, and it’s largely thanks to the maintenance.” Nottingham said equipment is replaced approximately every three years.

Student volunteers feed the homeless By Mike Nichols Staff Reporter

DETROIT — Homeless stomachs in Detroit were filled this weekend thanks to a collaboration of college volunteers. Students from Central Michigan University, Mid Michigan Community College and Ferris State University traveled to Detroit on Saturday to pass out bagged lunches and winter clothing to people living on the streets. The students volunteer with Homeless Outreach Ministry Equipping, a Midwest nonprofit aimed at helping provide for the homeless. In Mount Pleasant, they meet through His House Christian Fellowship.

93 Years of Serving as Central Michigan University’s Independent Voice

Central Michigan University’s work-study program offered more than 200 additional jobs to students this year after receiving an additional $500,000 in funding from the university. The 2011-12 school year began with more than 1,400 students enrolled in workstudy, which generally accounts for a third of CMU’s student work force. Previous contributions to the program usually amounted to about $600,000, making this year’s extra $500,000 from university administration a substantial increase. Jon Goodwin, manager

of Student Employment Services, said the average pay for students involved in the work-study program is about $7.90 per hour. Goodwin said some of the biggest employers in the work-study program include University Recreation, Facilities Management, the Charles V. Park Library and labs throughout the university. Goodwin said the additional funding has given an increase to the program unseen in recent years, though the number of students enrolled is hard to estimate, as the number fluctuates throughout the school year.

“We’ve hired as many students or more as we ever have this year,” Goodwin said. “It’s great when there’s not as many jobs off-campus for students to go to that we’ve seen in years past.” Along with the $1.1 million contribution to the CMU workstudy program, the university also receives $900,000 in funding for the federal work-study program.

Five other departments, including sociology, anthropology and social work; philosophy and religion; political science; foreign language, literatures and cultures have since endorsed the December vote. The Department of Mathematics voted to support the vote on Thursday.

demand. Ellipticals and treadmills are the most popular, so those get replaced the most frequently,” he said. “We do a full assessment of the machine and look at how many miles have been put on them. Then, we’ll decide whether to get a new machine.” The efforts of employees do not go unnoticed by students. “The equipment works well, and they’re constantly fixing things if they break,” Grand Rapids Sophomore Courtney Heeren said. “My only complaint would be that sometimes there’s a lack of cleaning supplies, but they are typically very helpful in getting more.”

need to increase hardware and licensing, which will cost the university about $25 per user, McDowell said. He doesn’t believe the virtual lab will reduce the traffic in CMU’s physical labs because of the other perks of using those areas. “This is all about enabling mobility, though there are certain appeals to labs, too,” he said. “People like to go there to get away from other obligations to focus on work, and that’s not going to go away.” The OIT department has also improved equipment throughout classrooms on campus. “CMU spends approximately $300,000 per year from an annual allocation on keeping classroom equipment up-todate and working,” Rehm said. In addition to the technological advancements, CMU has made online forms of 2011 W-2

forms available to university employees, which Rehm said has been successful in providing convenience to employees and saving time in the mailing process. The switch to online W-2 forms speeds up the availability for employees and would save CMU more than $6,000 a year, according to the OIT report. The OIT released its annual report in August, comparing CMU to 11 other universities, including Eastern Michigan University and Western Michigan University. CMU’s total IT budget of almost $14.7 million makes up 4.26 percent of the campus budget, which is almost $5.5 million less than the benchmark, according to the report. Director of Public Relations Steve Smith was unavailable to comment on the report.

Brighton sophomore Emily Huckabone frequents the SAC and said she has never been unhappy with the experience. “The employees are always friendly and helpful, and the machines are

always clean and in really good condition,” she said. “Little things like that make me way more likely to want to come and work out.”

MHTV crew members prepare for their broadcast of men’s and women’s basketball games about half an hour before the women’s game on Saturday at McGuirk Arena. The crew began their preparations at noon with three hours to spare to ensure everything would run smoothly.

a key role MHTV gives broadcasting students opportunity for real-world experience By Jessica Fecteau | Senior Reporter Countless hours of practice and preparation culminates at the tip-off for the Moore Hall Television crew. “Think through what you need, and make sure it’s on there,” MHTV Sports Director Stephanie McClung said to her crew of about 20 while packing up the Gator utility vehicle. Every gameday the equipment needs to be transferred from Moore Hall to McGuirk Arena for set up, the Lake Orion senior said. “We’re always going, going, going,” she said. “Long days are one of the things we anticipate.” While brushing shoulders with the Central Michigan University basketball team and athletic crew, MHTV members take over the nearly empty arena about three hours before game time to set up their equipment. “We’re kind of a well-oiled machine at this point,” McClung said. Four cameras, switchboards and monitors are among the many items required for a smooth game while filming. “On game day, my main job is to make sure everything at our ‘crazy box’ is hooked up and working properly,” said MHTV Sports Producer Chad Pothoff while describing the broadcast station set up. Pothoff said something goes wrong every game, and there will never be a perfect broadcast. “Students are going to make mistakes, and this is the place for them to make those mistakes so you can teach them and they’ll learn from it,” he said. As the stadium progressively fills with fans, players and athletic crew members, the MHTV crew huddles for a final production meeting before the game. “If you have a question, now is the time to ask it,” Plymouth graduate student Kelly Armbruster said to the staff. Although the game is live to tape, McClung said the crew still treats it as though they are filming for live television. As the director, she tells each camera operator what to do and when to be ready. “Even though we are a student organization, we want to make this as professional as possible,” she said.

One key role in the flow of production is the floor director. Clarkston junior Megan Shire’s main goal is to make sure the commentators know what to say at all times. “The director tells you what to say in the headset, and we basically give the commentator information when needed,” she said. “We also let them know information about player stats and the key players of the game.” Pothoff said there is more to broadcasting than a lot of students think. “A lot of people come here thinking, ‘I’ll major in broadcasting,’ and thinking, ‘Oh, that will be easy; I get to play with cameras all day and touch cool equipment,’” he said. “And they don’t know what they are actually doing, so coming here is showing them how broadcasting works.” McClung said being involved with MHTV puts students in a good place for landing a job upon graduation. “For anyone who wants to go into sports broadcasting, not only is the experience helpful, but MHTV Sports will give you a wonderful opportunity,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what skill level you are. It doesn’t matter who you know. If you just show up and are willing to do anything, you’re going to get opportunities.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Fight during women’s basketball game should leave athletics embarrassed

A black eye

Andrew Dooley Student Life Editor

Falling Down

he fight during the women’s basketball game Wednesday between Central Michigan University and Ohio University at McGuirk Arena was embarrassing for everyone involved but was worsened by a poor response from the university’s athletics department. Following CMU’s 67-53 win against the Bobcats, highlighted by a first-half fight that resulted in the ejection of two players, players did not speak to the media, and head coach Sue Guevara would not speak about the incident. Instead, the department issued a four-sentence statement from the university and Athletics Director Dave Heeke touting sportsmanship and accountability before closing: “The incident will be reviewed by the department and by the conference office. Until that process is done and we clearly understand what occurred, it would be premature to comment any further.” It was clear sportsmanship was thrown out the window during those few minutes, so why not spend a few minutes after the game taking accountability for it? Every one of the 543 listed people in attendance saw what happened. Thousands more that

evening on YouTube did, too (and still are). Officials should have immediately said players involved in the fight would be suspended. Instead, athletics waited to comment until after the MidAmerican Conference had handed down a two-game suspension to CMU freshman guards Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green and freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey, along with OU junior forward Porsha Harris. Punches were thrown, benches cleared and, while most tried to stop the melee from worsening, others tried to get involved. Let’s call it what it was: a schoolyard fight on a basketball court. And for what reason? Bracey and Harris may be the only ones to know. So why not come forward right away and take accountability for the situation? Instead, the athletics department tried sweeping it under the rug by diminishing the

A benches-clearing brawl broke out during the first half of Wednesday night’s women’s basketball game between Central Michigan and Ohio University at McGuirk Arena in Mount Pleasant. Ohio’s Porsha Harris and Central Michigan’s Jas’Mine Bracey were ejected following the altercation, and the Chippewas went on to beat the Bobcats 67-53.

incident and not directly addressing it. To this day, no mention of the fight, ejections or suspensions have been made on cmuchippewas.com. A passionate, unfiltered reaction from Guevara after the game could have gone a long way in taking responsibility for her players’ actions. Letting Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green speak on the team’s behalf, apologizing for what transpired on the court, would have been the adult thing to do. It wasn’t until 36 hours later,

after suspensions were handed down by the MAC, Guevara and her players — reading off a prepared statement apologizing to the school, fans and community — were allowed to discuss the situation. CMU should not have waited until it was punished to apologize or admit something wrong happened on the court Wednesday night. Enforcing self-imposed suspensions immediately would have been the responsible way to handle the situation.

Fighting for Republican establishment Nathan Inks Columnist During the past week, there has been a lot of talk about the “Republican establishment” coming out in opposition to Newt Gingrich in a campaign to ensure Mitt Romney is chosen as the Republican nominee. What exactly people mean by “Republican establishment” is not exactly clear, but apparently they are a bunch of mean, nasty people who go around slandering Gingrich in order to get the “moderate” Romney elected — at least that is the story coming from the media, the Tea Party, and lately, Sarah Palin. Palin recently wrote a Facebook note accusing “Cannibals in GOP Establishment” of “Employ(ing) Tac-

tics of the Left,” saying “we need a fair primary that is not prematurely cut short by the GOP establishment using Alinsky tactics to kneecap Governor Romney’s chief rival.” The “Alinsky tactics” Palin refers to are those of Saul Alinsky, who wrote “Rules for Radicals,” a book focusing on how to rebel against the establishment. How she figures the establishment is using “Alinsky tactics” against Gingrich is a bit of a mystery, considering Gingrich likes to accuse President Barack Obama of using Alinsky tactics, and if the establishment used such tactics, they would somehow be rebelling against themselves — so clearly there is some logic lacking in that accusation. The theme of her note is two-fold: that the establishment should stop pushing for Romney and consider Gingrich, Santorum and Paul as viable options as the party’s nomi-

nee, but also that this is bigger than Romney versus Gingrich — it is a fight between the “establishment” and the Tea Party. The reason Palin and others talk about this fight is because of recent attacks against Gingrich being a “Reagan Republican.” But are accusations such as this really indicative of a schism in the GOP? Not really. Ultimately, it comes down to primary election politics and nothing more. Gingrich was the Speaker of the House of Representatives — second in line for the presidency. Romney was a governor. If anything, Gingrich is the Washington insider who has been a part of the “establishment” longer than Romney. So why are more of the “Old Guard” Republicans backing Romney? They have witnessed more elections; they know which candidates can win. Gingrich has a lot of

baggage, while Romney has shown he can compromise with those on the other side of the aisle to get things done but still abide to Republican ideals. Romney is the electable choice, and those who have been involved in politics see this. The Tea Partiers support Gingrich as the more conservative choice, because they mainly vote on principle — but voting purely on principle without factoring in electability typically ends in a loss on Election Day. Palin is right — the GOP needs to let the primary process play itself out, but in doing so, Republican voters need to think about electing someone who can actually win. It’s time to pick a nominee, not throw around conspiracy theories to cloud the nomination process. Editor’s note: Nathan Inks is the president of the College Republicans.

[your voice] Comments in response to “Faculty Association contract voting figures unlikely to be released after denied FOIA request” Trying to be Objective, Friday Ratification by the faculty of the new Agreement is by a simple majority of those voting. While the rancor surrounding the 2011 negotiations far exceeded any prior year within recent memory (and 2008 was no ‘picnic’), and interest about the process this year is reasonably higher than in the past, the FA has never released the specific vote tally. It has always simply announced “yea” or “nay.” One could therefore defend the decision not to release the vote tally. What’s more interesting to me is Dr. Frey’s reported comment, “The main disadvantage [to releasing the actual vote] is that this information can be misinterpreted and also could be used against the FA in future bargaining.” I’d like to hear more from her on these two points. How could the actual vote tally be “misinterpreted” (and by whom?), and how could that same information be used against the FA in the future? Based on other reported comments by Frey (the Executive Board was “fairly evenly divided” about the vote release), it appears to me the FA Executive Board is confronting some interesting internal dialogue these days. Perhaps the real rift at CMU isn’t between administration and “faculty” but between leadership within the FA. Too bad this same leadership refuses to be open with the public, even as it stands by its accusations of the CMU administration for lack of transparency. Who’s being honorable here?

Pbg, Saturday They apologized. Live, learn and move on. Don’t act like it’s the first time, and it probably won’t be the last time in CMU history. But let’s hope so. Keep it moving.

Interested Observer, Saturday In fact, the vote totals after the 2008 negotiation were made public. So, it’s not true that these numbers have never been released. But I agree with you on another point: how, exactly, could the figures be misinterpreted? Why does it matter if the administration knows that the vote was close or not?

FomerGDI, Saturday So what you’re saying is we should toss every student that gets into a physical altercation? In that case, many of your Greek groups, would have been kicked off campus numerous times. And FYI if you think your tuition is helping to pay for an athlete on scholarship, you are sadly miss informed.

Comments in response to “Suspended women’s basketball players sorry to fans, community and CMU” formergreek, Saturday If a fight occurred anywhere else on campus, the students involved would be arrested and possibly expelled, yet these girls can just apologize and everything is fine? Why are the rest of the CMU students footing the bill for these girls’ tuition? Fan14, Saturday I am still confused to why Green was suspended. I was at the game, and I did not see her throw any punches. I understand the suspension of the other two. My real question is, why did Coach Gallow Bradford to continue to play the rest of the game? If the behavior wasn’t tolerated then Bradford should have been benched (since she wasn’t ejected) for the remainder.

Who’s running this show? 1111, Saturday I’m sure central has funds allocated to certain projects that need to be spent.

Comments in response to “Obama in Ann Arbor; ‘Make college more affordable’” Michmediaperson, Sunday Obama agrees with me about bringing down the costs of the crazy spending at colleges. He must be reading my posts. Cut faculty and staff in half, and cut the tuition in half. Cut President Coleman’s U-M salary from $800,000 down to $175,000. Likewise with George Ross. You could cut his salary in half! Get rid of expensive guest speakers, PC courses and development, and college will be affordable again. Thanks Barack for agreeing with me. I noticed he only could get 3,000 people to show. I remember those campaigns when he drew 15,000 to 20,000 in venues like liberal Ann Arbor. Guess most of the people know now they got fooled when he was promising free college for everyone! As far as green energy, all the green energy companies are going bankrupt. Nobody wants green energy and electric cars. No demand! Jay L, Sunday You cannot make college more affordable by handing out more federal loans to students who do not belong in traditional college in the first place. It is the federal loans that IS the direct reason tuition is so high in the first place. Increase federal loans and increase in tuition.

I have never been a particularly graceful person. Despite brief stints on the track and tennis teams in my glory days, I have never been an athlete. In grade school, I bowled a 27 at my cousins’s birthday party. There were bumpers involved. Still, I have fallen a record number of times this winter. While the sidewalks on campus are finally being regularly salted and cleared, the sidewalks in my neighborhood and downtown remain thoroughly glacial. In a lot of places, it makes a lot more sense to walk in the street or on people’s lawns, which isn’t exactly safe or fair to the homeowners. Pedestrians shouldn’t have to choose between falling, risking getting hit by a car or trespassing. This might seem like a trite subject, but don’t confuse slip and fall accidents with cartoon banana peels. I have never come away without anything more than a bruised ego or backside all the times I have biffed it, but there are plenty of people who aren’t so lucky. I was speaking to a student in one of my classes last week who is dealing with neurological problems after falling, hitting her head and suffering a concussion. For people with pre-existing mobility issues or the elderly, falling isn’t silly — it’s dangerous. It might be a pain for me to navigate our frosty footpaths, but it’s a much more daunting proposition for someone on crutches or in a wheelchair. People with disabilities, like my Mom, who has a knee replacement and has a very hard time getting around in a supermarket, let alone on a rink, shouldn’t be forced to stick to cars as the only means of safe transportation. Obviously, there are economic and environmental reasons every sidewalk can’t be cleared, sanded or salted. But that’s no reason to collectively give up on better, safer infrastructure. In order to continue to move toward a healthier and “greener” future, cities need to be walkable. It’s very hard to see how an impassably icy sidewalk helps us toward that admirable goal. With budgets stretched, maintenance is one of the first things that gets trimmed, but maybe a bit of perspective is needed. Funding for winter sidewalk maintenance would make cities safer, more assessable to more people and encourage healthier habits. According to a 2010 report from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, falling is the leading cause of non-lethal injury for Americans across every age category. While many of these occur inside the home, falling on ice remains a clear and present danger. It’s also one that’s entirely preventable. Continuing to ignore the concrete luge leading from Bellows to Broadway leaves us on a slippery slope.

Mount Pleasant heats up with 21st Night of Louisiana Sienna Monczunski and Jordan Spence Staff Reporters

People looking to alleviate their cabin fever and escape the cold with Cajun food and dancing attended the 21st annual Night of Louisiana at Finch Fieldhouse Saturday. The event was co-hosted by Central Michigan University Public Radio and University Events and drew approximately 900 people to dance, drink and enjoy live music. “There is no question it’s a celebration of life,” Bob Ebner, director of University Events said. “It’s like a huge block party, and I think it’s the most fun event University Events puts on. For me, it’s the most gratifying, because everyone leaves here with a smile on their face.” Amid the tables decorated with Mardi Gras beads and masks were couples on the dance floor two-stepping. Perhaps the brightest and most noticeable of everyone were Lansing residents Linda and Paul Loeffler. The Loefflers

adorned themselves in traditional Mardi Gras costumes. Paul’s costume was bright with orange, red, green, purple and complete with a mask and an accordion. Paul made his costume from scratch, using pajama pants. Paul said his mother was a seamstress and taught him how to sew at a very young age. The couple danced and took pictures and posed for pictures with others in attendance. The Loefflers said they promote Mardi Gras parties in Lansing, and Paul taught himself how to play the accordion and joined a Cajun band. “We’ve been in love with this culture for 30 years,” Linda said. “The music just has so much drive and pump to it. The first time we went, we had a blast, and so we decided, ‘Why not come in costume the next time?’” Ebner first brought the event to Mount Pleasant 21 years ago after falling in love with the people and music of New Orleans during a trip there. Purple and pink lights illuminated the bands on stage, “Balfa

Toujours,” led by Christine Balfa and “Terrance Simiem and Zydeco Experience.” Ebner said he tries to bring both Zydeco and Cajun tunes to the dance floor, because they provide different styles of music. “I’ve always had a Cajun band, because it has some of the more traditional dances such as waltzes,” Ebner said. “While Zydeco has more of a rockin’, faster sound to it.” Along with traditional music, food was provided by Aramark, along with a full bar serving mixed drinks, including “the hurricane,” which Ebner gets the mix for from New Orleans. Shepherd resident Gina Del Castillo said she has come every year for the past 18 years to celebrate her birthday. “I love that all types of people and all ages of people come here,” Castillo said. “I especially love the old-time dances and how everybody’s together and included. It warms my heart to see all ages of people dancing together.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe opposes Lansing casino By Jordan Spence Staff Reporter

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe is one opponent against a Northern Michigan tribe’s plan for construction of a casino in downtown Lansing. The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa wants to build a $260 million, 279,000-square-foot casino on Michigan Avenue, said Public Relations Director Michelle Bouschor. “The reason we don’t agree with what they are doing is because they are not following the gaming act,” said Frank Cloutier, public relations director for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. “Also, that was our original land, not theirs.” The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe has joined together

with Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi FireKeepers Casino near Battle Creek to rally against the Sault Ste. Marie tribe and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero. Bouschor said Bernero has supported the cause because of the 1,500 permanent jobs and 700 construction jobs the project could bring to the area. “We think it’s going to be a great project for the city and tribe,” Bouschor said. “It’s going to bring jobs and tourism to the city. It will also bring a plan for us to provide services such as health care to the Sault Ste. Marie tribe that we’ve had to cut back on.” The revenue from the casino will also be used to go toward sending every Lansing School District graduate to college, Bouschor said. To get the rights to the land,

the Sault Ste. Marie tribe has to ask the federal government to approve the tribe’s filing of taking the land into a trust. Cloutier said the new casino will not only cut into the Saginaw Chippewa’s market share, but it will water down a competitive market. This will not only decrease the quality of gambling, but the number of jobs as well, he said. “We’re going to continue this fight through the legislation state-wide and federal, and how illegal these actions are, and the negative implications it will lead to,” Cloutier said. Bouschor said the casino they plan to build will be more of a mid-level size with approximately 300 slots and 48 gaming tables. metro@cm-life.com

The Teaching and Learning Collective at Central Michigan University hosted a conference Friday in response to the presentation last fall of the book “Academically Adrift.” The book, written by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, questioned how much students really learn in the classroom. Friday’s conference highlighted correlational studies that link certain attributes of faculty members to their popularity among students. Peter Koper, the conference keynote speaker and retired English faculty member, along with other academic colleagues, authored a 2008 article pointing out strange patterns between a teacher’s “helpfulness, clarity, quality, easiness and hotness” to the ratings of faculty members teaching in American and Canadian universities. Koper and his team used websites such as RateMyProfessor.com to collect student evaluations based on the listed categories. “When we did our study, we were given the data set for RateMyProfessor.com by the man who was then the president and founder,” Koper said. “That meant that we had the postings for more than 6,000 teachers in the United States and Canada who had at least 20 ratings.” Koper said as a team, he and his colleagues were interested in how valid the recommendations were when studying the correlations between categories and student opinions.

Peter Koper, retired english faculty member “We found some very interesting results,” Koper said. “Some departments were marked high. Others, such as sciences, were marked very low. However, when we subtracted the scores for hotness and easiness from the scores for quality, the rankings suddenly flipped.” Because Koper’s findings were so striking, he admitted it was not hard to have his article published. Universities in both the U.S. and Canada showed their students were more apt to picking easier classes with teachers who would, in a sense, “spoon-feed” them, rather than provide challenges for the students. “This study came out with pretty depressing findings,” said Merlyn Mowrey, codirector of the conference and associate professor of philosophy and religion. “Students are not learning complex reasoning, and the amount that they do learn from the time that they enter into the university until two years after or four years after shows negligible improvement.” For six hours, the Bovee University Center flooded with students and staff who came to listen to retired faculty members and student speakers respond to Koper’s study. Activities included thinking assessments and adaptation methods, questioning whether faculty members should adapt to the mindset of the students or vice-versa. Student

speakers were able to address how they felt about their student life and challenges within Central Michigan University. “I think that this information is applicable to some students, but not all of them,” Talia Rybak, a graduate student in the school of music said. “I am a graduate student at this university, and I feel very overwhelmed. I guess I feel that college is really what you make of it, and sometimes that results in students not showing enough effort.” The lack of dedicated learning on campus may not entirely be the fault of the students. Faculty members who spoke during the conference said some students simply have different learning processes that may come across as being less advanced as universities would like to see. With the addition of these changes in the curriculum, Koper, along with other faculty members, believe they will begin to see exactly what should be happening: students working hard, buckling down and preparing for their futures. “The sorts of things described in ‘Academically Adrift’ need to become the normal way of teaching classes on this campus,” Koper said. “This means more reading, more writing, more serious studies and more intensive development of critical skills.” university@cm-life.com

College Republicans to hold presidential straw poll Tuesday By Sienna Monczunski Staff Reporter

Indian night brings 500 to Plachta Auditorium Anna McNeil Staff Reporter

Community members entering Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium Saturday night were greeted by the smiling elephant-headed Hindu deity, Ganesha. Religious symbols were just a small part of Indian Night, which included a brief history of India, song and dance. Members of the Indian Student Association (ISA) put on the event to educate the Central Michigan University and Mount Pleasant community about the traditions, fashions, dance styles, languages, history and overall culture of India. Ashita Goswami, India graduate student and ISA president, said more than 500 people attended. “From 6 to 8 p.m., it was jam-packed; we actually had to open up the balcony,” she said. “I am still receiving compliments on how organized and well the night went.” The night started out with the national anthems of the United States and India. There was a brief slideshow that gave an overview of the history and background of India. “I didn’t know much

about Indian culture. I learned that every state is like its own country,” Germany freshman Sarah Einwag said. “Each state has its own culture, food, gods and fashion. That was overwhelming to me.” The audience was told the event coincided with an Indian national holiday, India’s Republic Day, which celebrates the creation of the Indian constitution. There were performances given; two dance groups brought to CMU for the night, as well as a group of students. Traditional dances with

ghoonghroos (foot bells) told the story of the gods and their powers, as the crowd clapped and whistled along to the music. The night’s events in the auditorium ended with a fashion show displaying the style of western India. After the dancing, singing and fashion, the event moved to Powers Hall for a meal of traditional Indian food from Lansing’s Swagath Indian Cuisine. The meal included dishes such as chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, dal makhani, aloo gobi and basmati rice, said East Lansing resident Sid Reddy, the restaurant’s owner. “I think the night went extremely well. It went beyond my expectations,” Goswami said. “It was a definite success.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Film crew captures CMU-led research on Great Lakes wetlands Central Michigan University researchers have been given the opportunity to oversee important scientific work in the Great Lakes region — and all of their hard work has been caught on film for a new documentary. A University of Notre Dame film crew followed the researchers from CMU and other universities involved with the work, creating a documentary that emphasizes the importance of the wetlands. CMU was given the opportunity to oversee the grant and administer the funds after Don Uzarski, founding director of the Institute for Great Lakes Research, helped to write and submit a $10 million grant. Other schools working with CMU under the grant include the University of Notre Dame, Grand Valley State University, University of Minnesota-Duluth, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, University of Wisconsin-River Falls, Lake Superior State University, University of Windsor, SUNY Brockport and Oregon State University.

Kathy Backus, assistant director of public relations, said the research was a great opportunity for the many schools to collaborate and work toward a common goal. “This is one of the first times that all of these separate entities are working together and creating one collection point for the data,” Backus said. Carli Gurholt, a Scandinavian graduate student in biology aiding with the research, said the wetlands are more than just an environmental issue. They are key for other important purposes, including fishing, hunting, preventing floods and trapping carbon dioxide. “Wetlands are important,” Gurholt said. “They’re slowly declining; we don’t have as many as in the past. In the Great Lakes region, there are less than 50 percent of the wetlands than what used to be there, so it’s time to start doing some preservation.” Jessica Sherman, a field crew leader and lab manager for the grant, said one of the long-term goals for the research is to create a uniform monitoring system to better measure the health of the wetlands. “The wetlands are in good condition but need conser-

vation and preservation,” she said. “We don’t want to lose any more and restore as much as we can. It catches me off guard, the impact of invasive species to the once really high quality, beautiful areas that are now degrading.” The film crews did a great job of portraying the importance of the work being done in the Great Lakes, Gurholt said. “(The documentary was important) to get the word out,” Gurholt said. “It was an outreach. People undervalue the worth of the wetlands, and the Notre Dame people that made the documentary did a good job targeting many people — not just scientists, but it was able to reach everyone really well, even if they don’t know much about wetlands already.” Sherman said the magnitude and importance of this research opportunity is quite broad. “This is an excellent opportunity for our research lab and CMU to be at the forefront and involved in a movement of bringing attention to coastal wetlands and their importance,” she said. university@cm-life.com

Ben Greene, College Republicans Vice Chairman lege Republicans Vice Chairman Ben Greene said the name “straw polls” came from an old term used to describe informal polls. Such votes do not have an official outcome but rather gauge public opinion. “We want to do something special for this year, because Michigan is an important state in the presidential process, due to the pretty sizeable number of delegates,” Greene said. “This is a good way to keep track of where CMU stands and who has the most support.” Tuesday’s poll will be the first-ever conducted by College

Republicans, but Greene said it will not be the last. Michigan’s primary is scheduled for Feb. 28. “Anytime students hear about things going on with the primary, they become more apt to get involved,” said Stephanie Jaczkowski, first vice chairwoman of College Republicans and Clinton Township senior. “Since students will be more aware of when primary votes will take place, they will have more incentive to register to vote and get their absentee ballots.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Drinking amnesty bill for minors sitting in House after passing committee By Hailee Sattavara Senior Reporter

“I didn’t know much about Indian culture. I learned that every state is like its own country.”

By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

Students will be able to decide whether they think Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum should win the Republican nomination in Michigan’s 2012 presidential primary. College Republicans at Central Michigan University will conduct a straw poll in which students vote for their favorite candidate through ballots that will be counted by members of the registered student organization. The poll will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday in front of, or inside, the Bovee University Center and in the Charles V. Park Library. Members of the College Republicans will also be walking around and collecting votes from students. Grand Rapids senior and Col-

Minors who have had too much to drink may experience less hassle in seeking medical attention in the future. Legislation is making progress that would exempt intoxicated minors and their friends who help them get medical attention from receiving a minor-inpossession charge. Rep. Kevin Cotter, RMount Pleasant, is a member of the judiciary policy committee and voted in favor of the legislation. “It’s an effective bill in light of my district,” he said. This medical amnesty legislation was passed in a judiciary policy committee and now stands of the floor of the Michigan House of Representatives. A similar bill was passed through the House in 2010 but died in the Senate. Some thought the bill was an excuse for underage binge drinking. But Cotter said minors seeking help when needed is a major problem. “We want to encourage students to seek help when they need it ... student safety is a primary concern,” he said. Clinton Township senior Sam Randolph said

“We want to encourage students to seek help when they need it... student safety is a primary concern.” Kevin Cotter, Rep. R-Mount Pleasant she wondered why medical amnesty was not already in effect. “It’s not like they came in there (the ER) with a beer in their hand,” Randolph said. Randolph said she does not agree with the current minor-in-possession laws in place. “The first priority should be to help the minor,” she said. Cotter said he looks forward to this bill receiving a

vote on the House floor. “We have accounted for safety measures within the bill to protect those who are also underage to bring friends where they can receive help,” he said. Marketing Manager at McLaren Central Michigan Hospital, Nicole Sanders, could not comment as to how the hospital’s policies would change. metro@cm-life.com

Two track and field records set over weekend

Adams, Kettlewell both break school marks in events By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

A couple of Central Michigan men’s track and field athletes entered the weekend eyeing a couple records. Two reached those goals. At the Penn State National Saturday, senior multi-event athlete Josh Kettlewell won the

s e ve n - e ve n t heptathlon with a careerhigh score of 5,673, which broke a CMU 13-year record. “He set the multi record, Tecumseh Adams that’s for sure,” assistant coach Matt Kaczor said. “With all the work he’s put in, it’s nice to see the rewards.” The score was 300 points higher than both the runnerups Saturday and the previous CMU record. The record was

set in 1998 by Nathan Parker. Kettlewell won the 60 meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 8.33. He also finished fourth in the 1000 meter run with a time of 2:42. He marked 16-10.75 in the pole vault. At Indiana, sophomore distance runner Tecumseh Adams also set a school record Saturday. He finished second place in the 5k event with a time of 13:53.08 in Bloomington, Ind. He said Thursday he was aiming for a sub-fourteen minute race to give him a good chance

of qualifying for the NCAA Championship in March. It was the first CMU 5k to be under the 14 minute mark. The 5k automatic qualifier for the NCAA Championship is 13:44. The top-17 runners in the nation are selected. Adams said he will not know for a while if his time qualifies. “My time might make it in,” he said. “I have a pretty good chance. Last year, my time was the final spot (in the championship).” Coach Kaczor, who traveled with Adams to Indiana, said

the drive there was not a problem. “We try to keep it as simple as possible,” he said. “When we got there, you could see his nerves a little bit about a halfhour before the race, but I just reminded him he’s been training for it.” Adams said during the race, there was a “rabbit,” a runner who leads and sets the pace. It helped him settle into a pace. He averaged 4:27 per mile. He said his techniques to A TRACK | 3B

WRESTLING

he Central Michigan wrestling team lost to No. 16 Kent State 22-13 and a shot at clinching the outright Mid-American Conference title on Sunday. Although things looked grim for the Chippewas when they were down 13-0 and Donnie Corby was losing 2-0 in his match, they battled back. Corby tallied five unanswered points to win a 5-2 decision to gave CMU a spark at Kent State, Ohio. Fast forward to Chad Friend’s match against KSU’s Keith Witt and the Chippewas losing 16-13 with the score 1-1 with less than two minutes left in the third period. But the CMU comeback attempt was foiled when Witt snagged a takedown with seconds remaining. “I knew the (last) two were both going to be pretty close” CMU wrestler Ben Bennett said. “I felt like we had a pretty good chance.”

Derek Jackson looked like a player who was a part of a team that just lost its fifth-straight game. The sophomore guard, who had a game-high 21 points, sat dejected at the post-game press conference after the Central Michigan men’s basketball team lost 74-64 against Mid-American Conference-leading Akron Saturday at McGuirk Arena. “It’s hard, but like I said before, we’re going to keep fighting,” Jackson said. “We have Kent State coming in here on Tuesday, and that’s a good team. So we’re going to prepare for them, and hopefully we fight, play and hopefully we’ll get a win and get off this losing streak.” The Chippewas were overmatched in the first half against the Zips, trailing 40-28 heading into the locker room but made it a game late. The momentum shifted when Jackson knocked down a three-pointer from the corner with 3:21 remaining, cutting what was once a 19-point lead, down to three. The crowd stood to its feet, but it was shortlived. Junior center Zeke Marshall tipped in a missed free throw by Quincy Briggs with 1:35 remaining, making it a six-point lead for Akron. Jackson fouled Briggs with 1:37 remaining, and the forward knocked down the first free throw but missed the second, allowing Marshall to score the tip in. “I was battling and playing my hardest, and I’m pretty sure my teammates were, too,” Jackson said. “We cut it down to three, we played hard, we just didn’t get the rebound. If we would have gotten the rebound, it probably would have been a differ-

ent outcome right now.” It was a downward spiral after. CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler received a technical moment after guard Trey Zeigler turned over the ball. Trey, who knocked down 4-of-5 free throws, scored 16 points. The Chippewas shot 84.6 percent from the freethrow line but didn’t nearly get to the line as much as the Zips. The Zips made more free throws (22) than CMU attempted (13). “Those are numbers you usually see when you’re on the road,” Ernie said about the free-throw margin. “I guess that’s what comes with wearing that mantra or that bulls-eye as the number-one team in the conference.” Junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto and senior center Andre Coimbra helped lead the attempted comeback. They scored eight and five points respectively, all in the second half. “I’m really encouraged with the way our guys showed some spirit to come back and continue to fight and battle,and we put ourselves in a position where we had an opportunity there down late with the best team in the conference,” Erie said. “We just came up a step short.” The Chippewas look to snap their five-game losing streak at 7:07 p.m. Tuesday against Kent State at McGuirk Arena. sports@cm-life.com

Team loses to top-MAC team It takes Bowling Green overtime to beat the Chippewas By Brandon Champions Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan women’s basketball team faced plenty of adversity Saturday when it faced first-place Bowling Green at McGuirk Arena. Without its three-leading scorers, the Chippewas lost to the Mid-American Conference leaders 77-72 in overtime. BGSU (18-3 overall, 8-0 MidAmerican Conference) won its eleventh-straight game. “That was a really tough game we just played,” CMU head coach Sue Guevara said. “I thought our players followed the game plan perfectly, and I was very happy with our effort

and our execution.” CMU (12-10 overall, 4-4 MAC) was without freshman guards Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green and freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey as they served the first of their two-game suspension from the on-court fight against Ohio Wednesday. Combined they average 36.2 points per game. “We had a lot of people play today that have not been playing,” Guevara said. “I couldn’t have asked to compete any harder, considering how the last couple days have gone. We practiced really well. We were ready for this game, but it just didn’t turn out the way we wanted.” Things didn’t start well for CMU when the Falcons jumped to an 8-0 lead. Sophomore forward Taylor Johnson scored the the first CMU bas-

FOOTBALL

Catching up with NFL rookie Nick Bellore By Matt Thompson Sports Editor

Cubicles and water-cooler talk put some Central Michigan graduates facing the real world to sleep. When Nick Bellore walked into work after his CMU career, it was a bit different. The NFL lockout ended, and he walked into the New York Jets locker room to begin his first day of work. “You get Nick Bellore a little starstruck seeing guys like Plaxico (Burress), (LaDainian Tomlinson), (Antonio) Cromartie and all these guys that you’ve watched on TV,” Bellore said. “But that goes away very quickly.” The linebacker played mostly special teams, racking up 19 tackles as an undrafted free agent. Bellore said the NFL is a faster game with less room for error, but at the end of the day it is still football. “It’s the same game you’ve

been playing your whole life,” he said. “It’s just at a bigger scale.” As a part of the Jets organization, he has seen one of the biggest soap operas in football. Before this season, head coach Rex Ryan said the Jets would win the Super Bowl, but failed to make the playoffs. Bellore loves playing for the enthusiastic, players-coach. “He’s awesome,” Bellore said. “A delight to work for and play for. He’s kind of got a player’s mentality as a coach. He’s a brash guy. Puts himself out there, and I love that from a head coach. “He speaks his mind and believes in his team. On an every day basis, he really fights for us and loves the guys he has on the team.” Bellore couldn’t have felt very loved when he went undrafted in the NFL draft last April. He feels like he has been overlooked his whole career, something that helps drive him. He believes that’s why many Chippewas are successful in the NFL. “A lot of us were kind of

overlooked coming into college, and it’s something that kind of stays with you in terms of moving forward with our work ethic unmatched,” Bellore said. “There’s always that drive to prove people wrong.” He was a senior linebacker for CMU when head coach Dan Enos was in his first season. Although the Chippewas went 3-9 that season, and again in year two, Bellore likes what Enos has done. “It’s always tough coming in as a new coach and trying to establish what you want to do,” Bellore said. “There are growing pains obviously, and there will always be those. With young guys brought in, there’s some talent there.” But Bellore is off looking for a championship at the next level. And although the Jets players may have come out and bad-mouthed each other in the New York media, he still thinks it comes down to one thing. “Win,” he said. “Winning solves all problems.” sports@cm-life.com

Gymnastics wins one, loses one over weekend Stays undefeated in MAC play By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan gymnastics team (7-1, 3-0) split over the weekend but won its Mid-American Conference match over Eastern Michigan. On Friday, CMU competed in a tri-meet at EMU along with Texas Woman’s University. The Chippewas were able to hold off EMU 193.325 to 192.725. Texas Woman’s University placed third with a score of 190.550. The same Texas Woman’s University pulled off an upset on Sunday in Mount Pleasant. After performing well on the vault, the bars proved to be a complete disaster for the Chippewas. Freshman Rebecca Druien landed awkwardly and was unable to continue the rest of the meet. Senior Kristen Teubner also struggled maintaining momentum on bars, which led to the team’s final score being 46.175. Sophomore Brittany Petzold scored a 39.300 all-around score. A score of 39 or higher has eluded CMU this season until this point. “I was really excited on how I did,” Petzold said. “I felt like I didn’t let the pressure get to me. There was a lot of pressure on me, because we had a few mistakes on the past events.”

WOMEN | CONTINUED FROM 1B

A three-point shot by freshman guard Kerby Tamm made it 31-29 BGSU with 3:02 left in the first half. The Falcons went on a 4-0 run to end the half and held a 38-31 lead at halftime. CMU was outrebounded 30-19 in the first half but held the edge 24-17 in the second. “We got more aggressive in the second half,” Guevara said. “We were actually going after the ball.” Baker scored the first four points for CMU in the second half. A three-point shot by Olive made it 40-38 Falcons with 16:21 to go.

If there was any blame to be passed around, head coach Jerry Reighard is asking to take it. “I take full responsibility of what happened today,” Reighard said. “I had totally changed my approach to this meet. I wasn’t Jerry Reighard; I was low key.” CMU did some experimenting this meet to find out who is comfortable in which events. The results were not pleasing. “We made some line-up changes, put people in different positions to see where they will compete best,” Reighard said. “That did not seem to work in our benefit. We are having a real difficult time putting 24 positive things together in a meet.” While the loss stings CMU, it doesn’t hurt them in the MAC standings, in which they are still undefeated. Reighard believes Druien’s injury might be a torn ligament in her elbow. The injury forced freshman Kylie Fagan to perform on the floor. The timing gave Reighard and Fagan 10 minutes to make up a routine. Fagan ended up scoring a 9.650, a great score for just making up the routine. “Bless her heart, she came to me and said if you need someone to go on floor I’m here,” Reighard said. “We made the tumbling up in 10 minutes.” The team has not performed up to the standards of scoring 196s during the meets. A jumper by Baker at the 6:08 mark of the second half tied the game at 52. From there, the teams traded baskets until there was just 57 seconds left in the game, and the score was tied at 62. A missed 3-point shot by CMU sophomore guard Niki DiGuilio gave BGSU the ball with 17 seconds left. That’s when Bowling Green senior guard Jessica Slagle drove to the basket and scored with seven seconds left. She led the Falcons with 19 points. With only seven seconds to work with, Olive brought the ball up the court and passed to Johnson on the right wing. She drove to the basket and scored with just one second left in regulation. Tied at 64, the game went to overtime.

WRESTLING | CONTINUED FROM 1B

No. 12 Chippewas wrestler Peter Sturgeon closed out the dual against No. 20 Brendan Barlow and lost in riding time after four overtimes. Bennett put the Chippewas within striking distance by earning a pin to narrow the deficit to three. “(Bennett) wrestled really good today,” Chippewas Coach Tom Borrelli said “He was dominant. He really controlled the match (and) hand fighting.” The Golden Flashes wanted no part in being second fiddle any longer. Their five MAC losses since 2005 have all been dealt by the Chippewas. It was the first KSU win against CMU at home since 1996. The two programs have finished in the top two every season since 2005-06. KSU only has two first place finishes in the MAC to show for it be-

stay focused in the race include studying other runners’ shoes and jerseys. “It really helped me to have the rabbit pull me along,” Adams said. “The last three minutes I was struggling, but I focused on the techniques I talked about before to stay in it.” Kaczor said the team can do nothing but work harder than it has before. “You just got to keep moving forward,” he said. “Like I told Tec, ‘You won and you have a day to celebrate, then it’s back to work.’ When you run well like that, people know you the next time you run — you have to keep working.” sports@cm-life.com

Craig Kelliher wins vacated by NCAA By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

Central Michigan wrestler Craig Kelliher was ruled ineligible to wrestle at 174 pounds for the remainder of the year. Although he has remained in compliance with the NCAA Wrestling Weight Loss Certification Plan guidelines, Kelliher’s competition in four matches at 174 pounds violated NCAA wrestling bylaw 8.3.5.4. It states: “A wrestler weighing in two weight classes above an original certified weight class shall forfeit his or her right to return to the original wrestled weight class.” “It wasn’t brought to my attention until this week,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “Unfortunately, I’m to blame for that, because I didn’t give him really good advice. I wasn’t really aware you couldn’t wrestle two weight classes up, even if you were following your weight decent.” Kelliher initially certified at

Reighard was surprised that a day where the team struggled hasn’t happened earlier. “To be honest, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened before this,” Reighard said. “We have been competing very well, but perhaps we were due.” WIN AT EMU Druien continued her strong season with the top all-around score of 38.775, scoring a 9.725 in three-out-of-four events. Johnson finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes of action. “Starting out the game, my mind was set on being physical,” she said. “I didn’t feel any extra pressure. I had to come out and do what was best for the team. I gave everything I had today.” Bowling Green scored the first five points in overtime. A layup by senior forward Skylar Miller made it 7068 with 2:38 to go, but the Chippewas would score only a free throw and a late three from Johnson for the rest of the game. BGSU made its free throws down the stretch to win by a final of 77-72. In addition to Baker and Johnson, Olive added 11 points and three assists. Sophomore forward

Petzold notched the top score of the meet with a 9.850 on bars. The floor exercise proved to be the Chippewas toughest event. The team had two falls counted against them and scored a season low 47.800. The victory over EMU marked the 25th consecutive win for the Chippewas in the MAC.

the 174-pound weight class prior to the 2011-12 season. However, he wrestled unattached to CMU in the 197-pound weight class at the Eastern Michigan Open on Nov. 5, 2011. He wrestled three matches at 197 pounds at the tournament. Kelliher also competed in four dual meets for CMU at the 174-pound weight class between Dec.10, 2011 and Jan.22, 2012. “It was an honest mistake,” Borrelli said. “Craig Kelliher had nothing to do with it. He did everything right. It’s just unfortunate.” Kelliher’s results for those matches are vacated, but team scores and all other results for those four dual meets are not changed. He is still able to compete at any weight class above 174 pounds this season. He will be able to begin wrestling at 174 pounds again next season. sports@cm-life.com

Jordan LaDuke had eight points and three rebounds. DiGuilio had seven points and eight rebounds. Miller had six points and hauled down nine rebounds. BGSU had 20 turnovers. The Chippewas had 13. “The next time we play Bowling Green, it might be a different outcome,” Guevara said. “ We played very hard today against the best team in this league.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Scoring threats scarce for Chippewas on Saturday night By John Manzo Senior Reporter

Olivier Mbaigoto’s free throws with 11:43 remaining snapped an unusual streak during the Central Michigan men’s basketball 74-64 loss Saturday against Akron in McGuirk Arena. Prior to the free throws, Austin McBroom, Trey Zeigler and Derek Jackson were the only Chippewas to score. “Those three have been a constant all season,” head coach Ernie Zeigler said. “We know we lean on that freshman and those two sophomores offensively. It is tough when you look at our shooting percentages, particularly over the past five games. We’ve been consistently in the thirties.” Mbaigoto finished with eight points on 2-of-9 shoot-

ing, and Andre Coimbra scored five points before fouling out in a crucial point of the game with 1:35 remaining. Freshman guard Jorddan Myrick and junior forward Jevon Harden made unusual starts for the Chippewas in place of McBroom and Mbaigoto. The regular starters were the only players to score consistently. “Just to shake things up a little bit,” Ernie said of the different starting lineup. “When you’ve lost four games in row, things just don’t stay the same. We started Myrick, because we thought he could start off and get some pressure on the ball. We didn’t allow Derek to wear down because we knew we wanted Derek to pressure as well.” McBroom, Trey and Jack-

son shot 18-of-43 from the field, but the rest of the team was just 4-of-23 for 13 points. “Our young guys, they have to attack more,” Jackson said. “Us as leaders, we have to coach them how to come out and be aggressive.” On the opposite side, the Zips had nine scorers and have three scorers within the top 30 of the Mid-American Conference. When the Chippewas had balanced scoring with Mbaigoto and Coimbra, they played better as a team. Despite losing by 10, the Chippewas outscored the Zips 36-34 in the second half. Junior guard John Morris, who is usually the second point guard off the bench, didn’t play because of a coach’s decision.

Bowling Green coach Curt Miller misses game with stroke By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

The Bowling Green women’s basketball team had more on their minds than just basketball at McGuirk Arena on Saturday.

suffer a mild stroke I know he has a couple kids, and I want to see him around long enough to see his grandkids,” Central Michigan head coach Sue Guevara said. Associate head coach Jennifer Roos took over for Miller on Saturday during the team’s 77-72 overtime win over CMU. “I think teams always look at the assistant coaches as the good guy and the head coach as the bad guy, because the head coach controls the playing time. Today I went from good guy to bad guy,” Roos said. “We wanted the routine to be the same even though we were missing coach Miller.” CMU gave Roos and her team all it could handle, despite being without its top three scorers (Freshman guards Crystal Bradford, Jessica Green and forward Jas’Mine Bracey) due to suspensions. Miller normally controls the offense. The Falcons struggled without him committing 20 turnovers. “I’ve got to give coach Miller credit; something just wasn’t there today,” senior guard Jessica Slagle said. “I think we were all a little more off than we planned to be because we’re used to coach Miller on the floor controlling everything.” Miller, 43, became head coach of the Falcons on May 8, 2001. He has won 74 percent of his games with a record of 251-88 overall, and is 128-39 in Mid-American Conference play. He is the third-winningest

coach in MAC history and in his fourth season, the Falcons won the regular-season and tournament championships. They haven’t lost the regular-season title since, and they are heading in that same direction again this season. Miller has taken BGSU from MAC powerhouse to a national player. The Falcons have made five tournament appearances, including a trip to the sweet-sixteen in 2007, after beating Oklahoma St. (70-66) and Vanderbilt (59-56). He has a 2-5 record during March Madness. Both teams came into Saturday’s game with some adversity; in fact, Roos called it Adversity Bowl 2012. The two teams don’t play each other again this regular-season, so a rematch could only happen in the

Wrestlers miss opportunities in loss to No. 14 Lehigh

PRO BOWL | Two CMU alumni played with the NFL’s best

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan wrestling team lost to No. 14 Lehigh by a deceiving score of 23-11 at McGuirk Arena Friday night. “Obviously Lehigh has a good team, but I think we made them look good in certain situations, too,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. Borrelli pointed to missed opportunities such as Ben Bennett and Zach Horan’s losses in overtime. “If we convert just those situations, the dual meet is a lot closer, and we feel a lot better about ourselves,” he said. No. 5 Bennett lost to No. 4 Robert Hamlin in a rematch from the Midlands Championships. Hamlin defeated Bennett 3-1 on a takedown as the clock went to zero Friday. It involved a maddening tussle. “He kept attacking and kept coming after me,” Bennett said. “I felt like I wrestled pretty well for the most part, just didn’t do the little things right.” CMU and LU felt the wrath of a wrestler shunning their school to go elsewhere in this matchup. Mike Ottinger lived in the Mountain Hawks’ backyard but chose the Chippewas. He

In his second season in the NFL, Antonio Brown made the Pro Bowl, representing the Pittsburgh Steelers and rest of the best players in the league. Him and San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Joe Staley are two Central Michigan alumni in the game.

has no regrets about the decision. “Honestly, the team here and the coaches, I can’t ask for anything more,” Ottinger said. “It’s a great family here. I couldn’t be happier anywhere else.” He defeated Sean Bilodeau 3-2 in a heated match that involved the Lehigh bench clearing at the end as a result of not being awarded any more points. LU senior Kyle Rosser returned to his home state and

defeated Joey Kielbasa 5-2 with a boisterous contingent in the stands. The Chippewas won three of 10 matches and was 0-4 against ranked Mountain Hawks. When the dual concluded, Borrelli was recognized for winning his 300th career game in December, and the team was awarded their Mid-American Conference Championship rings from last year.

MIAMI — National Signing Day is Wednesday, which means all over the country this weekend, college football programs are pulling out all the stops — “rolling out two red carpets,” recruiting guru Tom Lemming said — in a last-ditch effort to impress the still-uncommitted high school stars. Dorial Green-Beckham,

souri, is considered by most experts to be the crown jewel of his class, and he is among the players getting the royal treatment. He is 6-6 and 220 pounds and has football and track coaches drooling, because he runs the 100 meter in 10.5 seconds. Word is Green-Beckham will wind up at Arkansas, but he still has Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma and Alabama on standby. Lemming calls him “the

rell of Rivals.com compares him to Calvin Johnson. Other players still up for grabs include 307-pound defensive tackle Eddie Goldman of Washington, D.C.; wide receiver Stefon Diggs of Olney, Md.; defensive back Tracy Howard of Miramar, Fla. who is visiting the University of Miami this weekend; Nelson Agholor of Tampa, Fla.; a NigerianAmerican who can play wide receiver and running back;

back from Potomac, Md., who committed to Notre Dame but recently decommitted and is now leaning toward Florida State, Clemson and Auburn. Last-minute campus visit invitations went out in the past 48 hours to players who had committed to Rutgers, only to find out on Thursday that coach Greg Schiano is headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can bet those players are being

“Everyone amps it up and goes all out this weekend,” Farrell said. “They’ll tell you how important you are to their program, how high they have you on their depth chart, make you feel like they have to have you. There is more of a sense of urgency than earlier in the recruiting process. They want the kids to leave campus at least confused or, at most, convinced.” Meanwhile, some of the
