CMED start-up costs will exceed $30 million Thousands of documents released Friday morning

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University now estimates the start-up costs for the College of Medi-

cine will exceed $30 million.

CMU initially set aside $25 million over five years to fund CMED start-up costs. Provost Gary Shapiro said in an email to students Friday the estimated start-up cost for CMED is now “likely to exceed $30 million.”

He said the university also anticipates the need for an additional $3 million in continu-

ing annual support for the medical program.

Shapiro did not respond to Central Michigan Life’s questions in Gary Shapiro time for publication.

According to the CMED In-

stitutional Self Study for the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, seven associate deans and assistant deans have been appointed and CMED plans to hire two additional deans in the areas of research and graduate medical education by summer 2012.

The two newest deans are Kevin Karbowski, assistant dean for Faculty Group Prac-

tice, and Dr. Chris Rohr, associate dean for Clinical Education Sites. The document did not contain salary information for the deans.

As previously reported by CM Life, salaries for the five other associate and assistant deans range from $200,000 to $325,000.

CMED motion sparks dispute

Proposal rejected by faculty bargaining team

About 20 members not informed of vote on college

By Theresa Clift University Editor

By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

The Academic Senate’s Nov. 1 motion to halt work on the College of Medicine broke the A-Senate constitutional law by failing to inform about 20 members of the vote in advance.

In an email to A-Senate Chairman Jim McDonald, Provost Gary Shapiro said the motion was “passed without being properly added to the agenda and properly debated, discussed and fully deliberated by the Academic Senate.”

McDonald only emailed senators who are in the Faculty Association, 49 of about 70 members total, to notify them about the CMED vote.

The six student senators were unaware of the vote, with the exception of Michelle Campbell, English language and literature graduate assistant, and Chris Benison, Mount Pleasant senior and Students for Faculty president, a recently formed registered student organization.

Both were informed by a FA senator.

The A-Senate constitution states a motion must be sent to each member of the senate at least five days before the regular meeting.

“The Academic Senate affirms in its Constitution that it is committed to serving ‘as a forum for free discussion of questions of common concern,’ (Article II, Section 4),” Shapiro said. “However, no debate or discussion was allowed on the important questions presented

Ceramics Society creates unique pieces with baking-soda-fired kiln

By Danielle Cywka | Staff Reporter

The Ceramics Society worked to bring back its soda-fired kiln once again this weekend, hoping for a surprise when the members opened the door.

The special kiln provides an unusual, unpredictable finish on ceramic pieces.

“You never know what it’s going to look like,” said alumna Megan McWhirter, who graduated in December 2010.

The kiln vaporizes the clay at 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, and creates a self-glazing atmosphere where the baking soda changes the glaze.

Called the “guru” by the group, McWhirter referred to the soda kiln as controlled uncertainty.

“You can’t pick exactly what the glaze is going to look like and you can’t control the flame because it’s atmospheric firing,” she said.

The Faculty Association Friday rejected Central Michigan University’s final contract offer.

Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said the proposal was the university’s “last, best and final” offer.

Both sides’ salary proposals remain unchanged since Aug. 19. CMU proposes to freeze faculty pay this year with modest increases in the next two; the FA proposes a pay freeze for this semester, with larger increases next semester and the next two years.

The administration’s current table Laura Frey position contains rollbacks which are unacceptable and not in the best interests of faculty, students or CMU, Faculty Association President Laura Frey said in a press release.

“We have taken (the) factfinder’s report and enhanced that on behalf of the FA,” Smith said. “Quite frankly, we’re shocked the FA won’t take this offer back to their membership for a vote.”

Fact-finder Barry Goldman’s non-binding set of findings came Oct. 31 in an attempt to break an impasse in the fourmonth-old contract talks, in which mediation has already failed.

Goldman sided with the university’s proposals on economic issues such as salary and benefits, and with the FA on retirement and promotion increases.

Gamers spend 36 hours at LAN party

By Jay Gary Staff Reporter

Late into the hours of Friday and Saturday night, keyboard strikes, mouse clicks and yells filled Finch Fieldhouse as Big Shot Gaming hosted its fall 2011 LAN party.

Avid video game fans from around the state came to Mount Pleasant to compete in a variety of video games for prizes and recognition.

The weekend-long LAN party hit max capacity as all 160 seats were sold out. Gamers filled

with caffeine fought through fatigue and sleepiness to best their peers at popular games such as “League of Legends” and “Team Fortress 2.”

Sanford senior Tom Wiedenbein, Big Shot Gaming president and lead administrator, and his crew spent the weekend setting up brackets, running tournaments and officiating matches.

“We had some hiccups in the beginning, but they have seemed to (have) sorted themselves out,” Wiedenbein said.

“We’re well on our way to having an awesome LAN.”

Wiedenbein and his administrators fixed network issues to ensure that the “League of Legends” tournament ran smoothly for all the competitors.

Highland sophomore Steve “ImmortalFox” Smith, team captain for Frosted Tips, competed for the first time.

“I heard about it last year and I didn’t come,” Smith said. “This year I really wanted to participate in the ‘League of Legends’ tournament, that was really the key thing for me.”

Team Frosted Tips went on to take third in the tournament.

“I was hoping to win first — I guess we have to try harder next time,” Smith said. “I’m having a great time though. There’s a lot of gamers here too. I can really relate to a lot of people here.”

Lansing resident Derek “Aquila” LaCosse, won the “Starcraft 2” tournament Saturday evening.

“My friend Sam told me about BSG, signed me up, and I didn’t know anything about it until I showed up here,” LaCosse said.

“It’s an awesome tournament.” studentlife@cm-life.com

LCME REPORTS RELEASED After FOIAs from three groups, the LCME full report was released to the public Friday. According to the documents, CMED has 18 full-time faculty in basic science, 35 fulltime clinical faculty, 11 parttime clinical faculty and 91 volunteer clinical faculty in the 2011-12 academic year.

Basic foundation science includes all non-clinical content areas, and CMED faculty in pathology are also reported as basic science. The 18 full-time basic science faculty consist of six professors, two associate professors, five assistant professors, three instructors and two vacant positions in micro-

CMU amended its proposal Friday to adopt all of Goldman’s recommendations, and in addition to allow the FA members to keep MESSA as their sole insurance provider.

However, the FA argued CMU should enhance its salary proposal, because Goldman acknowledged the university did have the money to do so. “...the fact-finder was clear — the university has the financial resources to meet the Faculty Association’s compensation proposal,” Frey said.

However, Goldman also said the university’s salary proposal seemed fair considering the state and national economy.

“In my judgment, CMU cannot be expected to be as generous as its unrestricted net asset balance would seem to imply,” Goldman said in his recommendations. “The CMU proposal of a zero increase in the first year and modest increases in subsequent years is not an unreasonable offer, all things considered.”

In its updated proposal, CMU also offered to include coaches and College of Medicine faculty in the bargaining unit, and keep the current contract language for tenure and promotion, instead of its previous offer of extending the time required for members to receive professor salary adjustments.

“The administration is more interested in spending money on buildings and programs rather than investing in faculty and students,” Frey said. university@cm-life.com

The 35 full-time clinical faculty consist of two professors, four associate professors, 17 assistant professors, six instructors and six vacant positions.

When classes start in the 2013-14 academic year, CMED anticipates having 29 full-time basic science faculty, 48 fulltime clinical faculty, 11 parttime clinical faculty and 175 volunteer clinical faculty.

According to the documents, CMED tuition and fees for 2013-14 will be $31,740 for in-state and $61,040 for outof-state students. The student services and computer fee will be $2,000.

CMED students will each receive a security fob for 24-hour access to the 35-seat computer lab located in the Health Professions Building.

CMED students also will receive $15 for printing per month

KILN | Anna Szafranski, a sixthyear senior from Coldwater, used the kiln for the first time this weekend.

“We fire it for about 12 to 24 hours, but then it has to cool for a couple days,” she said.

Szafranski became involved with the Ceramics Society last year after signing up for an introductory ceramics class.

“I’m a graphic design major, but I randomly signed up for (Art) 214 (Introduction to Ceramics) and ended up loving it,” she said. “I like mixing my own clay, I love throwing the clay via potter’s wheel and I prefer mak-

CMED weaknesses listed in the document are an internal fear of change, conservativeegalitarian culture, fear of failure, faculty agreement, department chairpeople included in the faculty agreement and a lack of research presence at CMU. Faculty Association President Laura Frey said in an email Monday the faculty will gather for the LCME accreditation team visit. She said faculty will gather on the second floor of Rowe Hall and possibly outside from 7 to 8:45 a.m. and 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

ing utilitarian wear.”

Although the Ceramics Society has many more kilns — varying from wooden outdoor kilns to typical indoor kilns — they do more than just fire kilns.

Greg Stahly, assistant professor of art and design and Ceramic Society adviser, said the real meaning behind the society is to promote awareness of the ceramic arts.

Fundraisers are held to support off-campus artists and to help fund travel

for ceramics conventions.

Stahly said the society went to Ann Arbor for the Michigan Mud ceramics convention and plans on attending a conference in Florida.

Pieces produced by members of the society are on display from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Thursday in Wightman Hall room 125A. All ceramics fired in the soda-fired kiln will be available for purchase. studentlife@cm-life.com

in the resolution, contrary to the Senate’s commitment.”

Shapiro also said not holding debate over the motion was unconstitutional.

McDonald said looking back, he agreed there should have been debate and prior notification.

“I chose not to have debate because I was afraid that the motion would get tabled, postponed; it would not get considered,” he said. “There was frustration with a lack of transparency from the university; something had to happen, so it was done quickly and some things were done in ways it shouldn’t have been done.”

McDonald said he was unaware of the detailed rules of the constitution, but still feels the motion is valid.

The university’s release of the CMED documents only two days before the Liaison Committee on Medical Education visit is proof of the lack of communication between various groups at the university, he said.

“I don’t think anyone is blameless here,” McDonald said.

Student Government Association President Vince Cavataio said it was hypocritical for the A-Senate to accuse the university of a lack of transparency, then pass a motion without prior notification or open debate with its own members.

The Shelby Township senior said he does not feel so much betrayed as he does embarrassed for the members who were involved. Cavataio will speak against the motion in the upcoming A-Senate meeting on Tuesday, but said he feels he will not be heard.

It is typical for the student representatives to be ignored in the A-Senate, Cavataio said.

“There are about 28,000 students affected by what the people in that room do, and we should have a say,” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, none of them represent the students.

We, the students in that room, represent the students on this campus.”

Cavataio spoke with McDonald about the student senators regarding his frustration for being left out of the discussion. McDonald said he was sympathetic to them.

“I understand why they’re frustrated,” McDonald said.

“We’re going to meet with them and we’re going to listen and address their concerns, because it doesn’t need to happen anymore.”

Campbell, who found out about the motion less than 24 hours before the vote, was not offended she did not receive notification sooner.

It was not a choice of forceful exclusion, she said.

She agreed with McDonald that although A-Senate should be following its own rules, the senators are dealing with huge transparency issues with the administration, she said.

PROM again

Maplewood seniors get experience with helping Greek community

By David Oltean | Senior Reporter

The residents of Maplewood of Mount Pleasant assisted living facility showed one can never be too old for prom Friday evening.

The Central Michigan University chapters of Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Kappa hosted a Senior Prom at the facility, 1945 Churchill Blvd., to entertain and socialize with residents of the nursing home.

Fraternity brothers, sorority sisters and residents dressed up for the event and mingled at tables set up throughout the main room.

Attendees danced to classic and modern hits before residents elected two of their peers as king and queen of the night.

Maplewood residents Marie Krenski and Jack Anson were voted as king and queen and crowned by Homecoming Gold Ambassador and Clarkston senior Meredith Clark. After receiving the crown, Anson kissed his 99-year-old queen on the cheek.

“On behalf of the nursing home, I’d like to thank the sorority and the fraternity for putting this event together because this truly is community service,” Anson said.

Residents Doris Himebaugh

and Lucile Moor said they were flattered by the fraternity brothers after they escorted them from their rooms and presented them roses.

“The boys were very nice,” Himebaugh said. “They brought us out to the table and seated us and acted very gentlemanly.”

Both Moor and Himebaugh said CMU students’ continued involvement with the nursing home is appreciated by the residents.

“We always enjoy the students’ company,” Moor said.

Maplewood of Mount Pleasant resident Virgie Jones wipes her eye as students sing during Senior Prom Friday evening. The sorority Sigma Kappa put on the event.

“They’re always very polite with us and helpful if someone needs assistance.”

Riverview sophomore Dan Milligan, a current pledge of Beta Theta Pi, said he helped plan the event to give back to the Mount Pleasant community and interact with the senior citizens.

“It’s a great way to show that Greek Life is here for Mount Pleasant and CMU as a whole,” Milligan said.

Sigma Kappa member Kali Walther, a Howell senior, said

Transcend gains popularity, members for student support

By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

Two years ago, Amber and Shawn McKeever went to the department of LGBTQ services with an interest in starting a student group for transgender students and their significant others.

Today, Transcend has picked up attention thanks to the two former Central Michigan University students.

“We kind of came up with the idea,” Shawn said.

“There really was no support for transgender people.”

For Shawn, the formation of a registered student organization like Transcend was very beneficial.

“At that point I was starting my physical change, and there wasn’t anything available,” Shawn said.

The group first began with a panel of five people and an informational meeting open

to public for the first semester, Amber said.

“Last fall they became an official RSO,” said Shannon Jolliff, director of LGBTQ services. “They have a constitution and official president.”

Roseville senior Kylee Meade is the current president.

“The very first year we did have co-presidents,” Meade said. “The support group alone is nine or 10 people.

Transcend members used to be part of Spectrum, formerly the Gay Straight Alliance on campus, before breaking off, but still work with them in events.

“We are going through a huge physical change,” Meade said. “And we thought it was important to support those going through the transition.”

“There are many of us and a lot of misunderstanding.”

In the beginning there were only a few members, but after the two years, the number has grown.

Awareness groups have started to get involved, which includes allies and

anyone who is willing to support, Meade said.

“We have worked with Shannon (Jolliff ),” Meade said. “And we have had plenty of panels to get the word out.”

Transcend meets every week, while the awareness groups, which includes significant others and supporters, meet once a month, Meade said.

“To see what has happened in the past two years has been amazing,” Amber said. “It’s bigger than what we expected.”

Now there are three weeks of the year dedicated to the LGBTQ community, one specifically focused on transgender issues.

There is Coming Out Week in October, Pride Week in April and Transaction Week, which starts the week before Thanksgiving.

“We hope that in the future people like Kylee will put forth the effort for increasing transgender awareness,” Shawn said. “Transcend will be a real voice on campus.” studentlife@cm-life.com

the event was rewarding for members of the sorority to host.

Walther said the sorority used to host a senior prom in years past and decided to bring the event back.

“We usually come here every Thursday night to play bingo with the residents, but we thought the prom would be a fun idea to bring back,” Walther said. “It’s always fun for everyone to get dressed up and socialize.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Omega Psi Phi returns to campus after break

By Logan Patmon Staff Reporter

LGBTQ

Group for transgender community

Asim Asiri said he wants Terry Jones, the Quran-burning pastor, to know Islam is not evil, but ignorance is.

Invited by Associate Professor of journalism Tim Boudreau, Jones spoke to Boudreau’s JRN 102: Introduction to Journalism and JRN 404: Law of Mass Communication classes Wednesday as part of a lesson on free speech.

Asiri, a Muslim senior from Saudi Arabia, responded to the pastor’s recent visit. Friday afternoon in the Islamic Center of Mount Pleasant, 907 McVey St., Asiri delivered the weekly “kuhtbah,” or sermon, during “Jumu’ah,” a time of Muslim prayer and preaching held every Friday.

After Jones burned the Quran in March, protesters in Afghanistan murdered about 30 people, injuring 150 more.

Jones called this an example of Islam’s use of violence.

Asiri, however, believes the attacks were not caused by true followers of Islam, but by radicals who were using Jones’ actions to stir up political strife in a country already torn apart by war.

“In Afghanistan there’s a war,” Asiri said. “If they used (Jones’) actions to kill people, they did it for their own political purposes, not Islam.”

The 40 Muslim men who sat listening to Asiri nodded in agreement to his words.

Ahmet Ugur, an associate professor of computer science, is originally from Turkey.

The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has returned to campus after a semester break.

Friday night in front of a crowd of about 200 students outside the Charles V. Park Library, the fraternity, commonly known as the Ques, inducted two new members.

The new members were inducted in a ceremony known as a probate where the new members share the history of the fraternity and performed a step show for the audience.

This was the first Ques Probate held on Central Michigan University campus since 2008.

“The probate was very cool,” said Detroit sophomore Kenisha Shields. “I liked the way they shared their information and sang a little. It was really entertaining and exciting.”

The Ques were not suspended from campus for misconduct, but rather died out because of a lack of interest and participation.

The two new members are Grand Blanc sophomore David Grays and Inkster junior Quinlan Davis.

Grays is the new president

of the CMU Omicron Beta chapter.

“I’m happy that the Ques are back on campus, but we have a lot of work ahead of us,” Grays said.

Because there were no Ques on campus when Grays and Davis began the process to become members of the fraternity, they had to take an unconventional road to membership.

“We had to travel around the state to get in contact with other Ques,” Grays said.

“They had to teach us about the history and the principles of Ques, but we did have help from the Quess that were previously on CMU’s campus.”

Several other Greek fraternities on campus are pleased to have another Greek organization on campus.

“It’s definitely a good thing to have the Ques back on campus,” said Dearborn Heights junior Nickolas Williams, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.

“Now students have an even larger variety of organizations to choose to join. The Ques will also be another organization to help enhance CMU’s campus.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Open Grove Society hosts Flying Spaghetti Monster pasta party

By Jamie Favazza Staff Reporter

Students and community members dressed in their best holy pirate garb and gathered in the name of fundraising, pasta and the Flying Spaghetti Monster Friday night.

The registered student organization which promotes religious diversity, Open Grove Society, hosted its first Pastafarian Pasta Night at The Flour Uprising, 112. N. Main St. “Pastafarianism is the religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster who created the world,” said OGS Public Relations Representative Jackie Knake. “Pirates are the chosen people and there’s a direct correlation of the decrease of pirates and the increase of global warming.”

The Birch Run senior said this first-time event was planned to raise money while having a ton of fun.

Howell senior Aaron Jiskra, webmaster for OGS, showed his support at the event.

“Pastafarianism points out the fact that there needs to be a separation of church and state,” Jiskra said.

Knake said the organization has goals of fundraising and bringing in more speakers.

Grand Blanc senior Ashleigh Smiley boxes up a salad at the Pastafarian Pasta Night fundraiser for the Open Grove Society Friday night at Flour Uprising, 112 N. Main St. “Our goal is to promote different religions,” Smiley said. The pasta night theme was inspired by the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

“Every year we put on Body and Soul Festival in the spring, our biggest fundraiser, and we needed a little backing to do that,” Knake said.

About 50 Central Michigan University students, faculty and Mount Pleasant community members attended the pirate-themed event.

The event was one of several new ideas OGS had for this academic school year.

“So far this year we brought in the Tempest Smith Founda-

tion, an organization to educate about tolerance and promote anti-bullying education,” said OGS President Mariah Scott, Dearborn junior.

Scott said OGS is trying to focus on creating more religious diversity events like the pasta night, celebrating different religious holidays and potentially holding a religious panel. They are also promoting a sense of community within OGS.

Ron Paul leads at OU debate On Wednesday I had the opportunity to attend the Republican presidential debate at Oakland University, on the topic of jobs and the economy.

Ron Paul had the best performance, giving support for his points and showing consistency on the issues.

While Paul is one of the smartest people in Congress, he tends to get carried away in explanations — to the point that he goes over the heads of people who are less educated on economics.

His bigger problem is that among GOP voters his foreign policy is seen as too radical, and he has little chance of winning the nomination. Mitt Romney had a strong performance as well, answering almost all of the questions directly, although there were a couple times he got off track.

His experience in the business world makes Republican voters confident that he knows what the country needs to get the economy back on track.

Herman Cain also performed well, but there were a couple times when he avoided the question and answered with talking points, either misunderstanding the question or intentionally avoiding it.

He overcame the harassment scandal that had plagued his candidacy, stressing without any evidence, he deserves to be viewed as innocent until proven guilty. Cain’s biggest problem is he talks to the crowd, not to the camera, seemingly forgetting his target cannot just be hardcore Republicans, but all Americans.

Rick Santorum had a decent performance. He argued stabilizing manufacturing will fix the entire economy — something that will please people in the manufacturing industry, but not voters in other sectors.

Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann were not asked many questions, but none of their answers seemed to be overwhelmingly incredible. With the two candidates now trailing the pack in the polls, they both seem content in offering up average debate performances, and I think their desire to push ahead to the front of the pack is continually weakening.

Newt Gingrich, who has surged in the polls in recent days, had one of his worst debate performances.

While usually an amazing debater, he seemed to be stuck in his political analyst mode, criticizing the moderators, and refusing to answer a question on health care because it was too complicated to explain. When given the opportunity of longer time, he got snippy with the moderator and came across looking like a childish, partisan, anti-media hack.

Rick Perry had by far the worst performance. He forgot one of the three departments he would eliminate if elected, and what started off as a simple gaffe turned into a meltdown as he struggled for more than 30 seconds, finally admitting he had forgotten it.

What if he had been meeting with a foreign diplomat and forgot a key point of a treaty?

That would leave the U.S. looking incredibly foolish. I think we will see a Romney v. Cain race as we get close to Iowa, and this debate confirmed that prediction for me.

Saving Face

It’s important to note the way Friday’s letter from Provost Gary Shapiro to the campus community regarding the College of Medicine was written.

Shapiro sent the email at about noon to Central Michigan University students, faculty and staff first mentioning how the application for preliminary accreditation by the Liasion Committee on Medical Education had been released to the Charles V. Park Library and how the documents were made available for public viewing.

This was not a typical university decision and was likely in response to the Academic Senate, Faculty Association and Central Michigan Life all being forced to ask for the documents using the Freedom of Information Act. The information compiled was submitted to the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and includes 2,000 pages detailing the program, along with a 40page Institutional Self Study.

“In the interest of transparency and open communications and in response to significant public interest, the determination was made to make the information available at this time,” Shapiro said in the email.

The question is how did three

separate FOIA requests turn this into ‘significant public interest?’

These are documents that should have been public from the beginning rather than private, and to try and tell the campus community CMU is doing this by its own volition is ridiculous.

It’s not as though the administration has been completely open about CMED figures and plans, and these concerns were made even more apparent when Shapiro dropped a bombshell in the second part of the email.

“Initially, the university set aside $25 million over five years to fund startup costs for CMED,” Shapiro said. “We now estimate that number is likely to exceed $30 million. CMU also anticipates the need for an additional $3 million in continuing annual support for the medical program.”

This extra funding is something CMU knew about for a while and it’s odd the news was kept silent until less than three days before the LCME accreditation team was to visit the college.

It is not as though College of Medicine Dean Ernest Yoder came into Warriner Hall Friday morning and told University President George Ross’ staff they

would need some extra money to keep the project afloat.

This was a calculated effort to release the information at a time when it wouldn’t hurt any accreditation efforts by having people ask questions, and it’s outright manipulation.

If CMU had been up front about costs and potential issues from the beginning of the CMED effort, it seems much less likely it would face opposition in nearly as many forms, including from the A-Senate.

This news makes one question where that extra money is coming from, and it’s ironic that Shapiro didn’t return calls after releasing the news on a Friday afternoon.

A-Senate’s main problem with CMED has been the lack of openness from all administration about the college, which is the same issue this editorial board takes.

It is not the college itself, nor the funding that has become a problem, but the way in which the administration withheld and manipulated important information about one of the largest undertakings in the history of CMU. It’s time for our administration to face the public honestly instead of trying to save face.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

No longer on same page As a 76-year-old great-grandfather born in the Great Depression, I fear I have lived through the high water mark of our constitutional democracy.

It occurred during and shortly after World War II. From this perspective, I am persuaded that politicians are now presiding over the loosening of our bonds as a people and a declining commitment to the principles of our Constitution.

According to recent government statistics, the top 2 percent of wealthy Americans have increased their share of the nation’s wealth from 9 percent to 24 percent in the past two decades. Just as a vibrant middle class was incontrovertible proof of the political and economic justice of our democracy, so the present fracturing of the middle class is equal proof that even the most noble experiment in democracy can suffer from hardening of the arteries and callousness of the heart.

The signs of deterioration appear everywhere.

Grossly Gerrymandered political districts, lobbyists drafting bills, corporate marketing Departments pushing ballot proposals and the newest move — the requirement of a “super majority” — all make a mockery of “majority rule” in the legislative process.

True, majorities must be reignedin and minorities need to be protected, but the checks and balances required ultimately should be left in the hands of the non-elected Central Michigan Life serves the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities, and is under the jurisdiction of the independent Student Media Board of Directors. Neil C. Hopp serves as Director of Student Media at CMU and is the adviser to the newspaper. Articles and opinions do not necessarily reflect the position or opinions of Central Michigan University. Central

judiciary. When senate rules are used in a climate of ideological pique to thwart the clear will of the majority, we must consider how we, the people, are tolerating an aging process neither venerable nor graceful.

We took a warning shot across the bow of our ship of state when Wendy Gramm, as the chairwoman of the Commodities Future Trading Commission (CFTC) in 1993, emasculated its authority by executive order before she retired to the Board of Enron. It was made law by her husband, Senator Phil Gramm, who slipped it into an 11,000-page omnibus funding bill adopted in December of 2000.

When government regulators join the business interests they previously regulated, the public interest is the first casualty. When the Supreme Court insinuates its political views in the frame of a judicial decision (Bush v. Gore, 2004), the Court loses standing among the people.

When, as in Citizens United v.

FEC, 2009, it overturns a series of laws limiting the role of money contributions in political campaigns going back as far as 1907, the people’s confidence in the fairness of our elections is shaken.

Though we still sing our national hymns and anthems, our harmonies do not ring true when Congress makes it profitable to outsource American jobs while businesses incorporate off-shore to avoid fair taxes. When corporate CEOs position their companies to meet Wall Michigan Life is a member of the Associated Press, the Michigan Press Association, the Michigan Collegiate Press Association, the Associated Collegiate Press, College Newspaper Business & Advertising Managers Association, the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce, Central Michigan Home Builders Association, Mount Pleasant Housing Association and the

Street’s expectations for the next financial quarter at the expense of business fundamentals, the stage is set for the greed-driven meltdown of the financial system.

I have watched the nation plunge headlong down our current roadway and I know enough of history to say, “as America’s middle class goes, so goes America herself.”

As the proud product of America’s middle class, I know in my heart we are on a downward slope.

Such an unbalanced expansion of political power by the corporate and financial elites inevitably leads to economic dissolution, imperial adventures and the ignition of class hostility, which diminishes the freedom and prosperity of every American.

More importantly, it diminishes our solidarity as one people, one nation.

This is not the journey the framers of our Constitution dreamed for America. When We, the People, become blinded by partisan media, one-issue politics and disguised appeals to fear and hatred, we lose sight of our original purpose: to build a nation dedicated to liberty and justice for all.

Though I’m not quite ready to give up the dream, the confidence that we are truly one people, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all is becoming more and more difficult to feel.

The Difference of Toys ‘R’ Us’s When I was in grade school my parents would get me rewards for good report cards: my preference was almost always Lego sets or video games. ( The ratio of the former to the latter shifted significantly through the years.)

When I went with my mom, we’d usually go east to the Toys “R” Us in Utica.

When I went with my stepdad, we’d usually go west to the Toys “R” Us in Pontiac. ( With my dad, the GameStop down the road near downtown Rochester did just fine.)

That was the only time I ever saw downtown Pontiac. The boarded up windows and empty high-rises always piqued my suburban sensibilities as we drove there, but on the way back I was too preoccupied with my new swag to peer out on the dreams deferred.

My interest probably came more from that colonialist fascination with urban decay which compels us rich kids to take moody pictures of broken down factories and train stations than real empathy for the current of life which used to run through them.

I remember wondering why we always went through the city itself, with its endless stop lights, when the store was on the other side by a good margin.

I don’t know if my step-dad stuck to a route straight through the heart of Pontiac on purpose, but I hope he did.

A lot of the kids I saw as I looked out from high up in his green Ford F-150 would have been glad just to attend schools that gave report cards representing an education worthy of pride.

Their drop out rates could pass for my school district’s graduation figures.

I didn’t work half as hard for my second Lego X-Wing as some of those kids did just to stay in a system that couldn’t afford enough to give a crap about them.

It wasn’t fair, but I can’t detest myself too much for the youthful indifference.

I was just a stupid kid, and I couldn’t appreciate what my middle-class parents scraped together through years of work, scrimping and saving.

But the further I go out into the real world, where high marks rarely get us rewards greater than continued employment, the more I see I was, and still am, a lucky bastard. I earned very little of what I have now.

Some day, I hope to be worth it.

SUSO to discuss ecosystems

By Alayna Smith Staff Reporter

The next Speak Up, Speak Out forum, Ecosystems and Ego-systems: Creating a Sustainable Future, will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Bovee University Center Auditorium.

Political Science Professor Ted Clayton will moderate the forum. Panelists include Brigitte Bechtold, sociology, anthropology and social work chairwoman, Chloe Gleichman, Student Environmental Alliance president and Saline junior, John Porter, Coleman junior in environmental studies, Thomas Rohrer, director of the Great Lakes Institute for Sustainable Systems, and Peter Sinclair, from the Saginaw Valley Sustainability Society.

The forum will begin with several video clips to introduce the issue before the panelists will have a chance to discuss individual concerns regarding sustainability. The forum will

end with the opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the panelists for further insight.

“Over the years we have been doing SUSO, CMU students have consistently been interested in environmental issues,” Clayton said. “As more and more people become aware of the size and scope of the environmental challenges we face, the sustainability movement has grown in significance, so we wanted to discuss it in a campus forum.”

Clayton said he believes sustainability is growing in importance as environmental issues gain prominence in the social and political arenas.

“There is growing concern over the consequences of failing to address the problems caused by our current way of thinking about the economy and the environment and the ways in which they interact with the Earth’s population,” he said. “Sustainability tries to go

beyond older ways of thinking about these problems and instead tries to address them as interrelated, which is arguably a more productive approach.”

Gleichman said she hopes students show up with an open mind to the issue.

“Learning more about sustainability is the only way students can prepare themselves to live in the future where it will be so important to life,” she said.

Clayton agreed with Gleichman that an open mind is the most important thing when addressing such a crucial subject.

“The forum is open to everyone interested in these issues, no matter what political views they may hold,” Clayton said. “I hope that attendees will learn about the sustainability movement and participate in a discussion that helps them decide for themselves whether they want to support it.”

Terry Foster, Dick Enberg to speak at SMA conference in February

By David Oltean Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University Sport Management Association will host its second professional development conference in February.

The conference, which will be held Feb. 17 and 18, will showcase speeches from Detroit sports columnist Terry Foster and national sportscaster Dick Enberg along with other CMU alumni who have found success in the sports industry.

Ugur said Jones did not accurately present Islamic culture and he should have actually read the Quran before burning it.

“It is improper to burn a book, but it’s proper to read a book,” Ugur said.

Asiri said Islam is a religion of peace and it falls to Muslims in America to teach others.

“We know that Islam has taught us nothing but peace,” Asiri said. “If others can’t see it, that’s because it’s our fault for not showing it to them.

Feb. 17 to give CMU students the opportunity to meet with sports organizations throughout Michigan. Attendance to the career fair will be reserved for only CMU students and a limited number of spots are available.

Clinton Township senior Nathan Kopp, the current president of SMA, said he hopes students will be able to benefit from the networking opportunities at the conference. Kopp was also pleased to have so many successful CMU alumni plan to speak at the event and

share their experiences in the industry with students.

“I kind of made it one of my goals to bring back CMU alumni to speak,” Kopp said. “When you see these professionals who graduated from CMU and see the jobs they currently have in the sports industry, it’s definitely encouraging for our students.”

Registration for the conference can be completed in room 2301 of the Health Professions Building and will end Dec. 5.

Maybe we are not speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.”

Asiri said in Islamic States, the majority of the population is Muslim, but the leaders do not practice it faithfully, which is why there are human rights violations. When the principles of Islam are not represented in the governments, it leads to dictatorship, he said.

With the Arab Spring protests, Asiri said he hopes Islam will rise and peace will come.

“We need to make a separation of two things: violation of human rights in the Middle East and Islam,” he said. “If they did practice Islam, their country would have freedom.”

All terrorism is not linked to

Islam, said graduate student Mishari Alkhuwaiter, who is also from Saudi Arabia. Jones is not even a true follower of Jesus, he said.

“He doesn’t even represent Christianity,” Alkhuwaiter said. “My aunt and grandmother are Christians and they always talk about the word, ‘peace.’”

Asiri hopes more will decide to learn about Islam rather than condemn it as Jones has.

He said it all depends on Muslims speaking out like he did.

“If we expressed and explained Islam more, we wouldn’t need to talk about Terry Jones.”

About 500 attend Ladies Night Out for evening of discounts, shopping

By Kirsten Kearse Staff Reporter

Ladies lined up outside the Broadway Theatre Saturday to receive a goodie bag filled with discounts and giveaways to shops in downtown Mount Pleasant.

The annual Ladies Night Out event started at 216 E. Broadway St., where about 500 women came out with friends and family to prepare for the holiday season.

“It benefits a great cause,” said Angie Evans, 95.3 WCFX-FM host. “It’s a great thing for the community and a fun way to raise money.”

The event raised money for the Women’s Aid Service and Women’s Initiative.

Mount Pleasant residents Sandy Harnick and Marnie Roestel were two of the women who participated in the event.

“It brings people in from the area and they buy things,” Harnick said. “I think it’s pretty cool and a lot of fun for people to come downtown.”

Harnick said she heard of the event on WCFX. Roestel said it was a great turnout with about 500 people.

“It gives the women an opportunity to get excited about the holiday shopping season and just kind of get that mob mentality where you’re just like ‘shop, shop, shop,’” said Kriss Roethlisberger, owner of Ace of Dia-

Temenos journal reading to feature special edition

By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

A special edition of the graduate-run literary journal, Temenos, will be comprised of work inspired by Pulitzer Prize winning poet Theodore Roethke.

A reading of the publication will be held Wednesday in the Powers Hall Ballroom along with refreshments and copies of the journal for $5.

The reception will begin at 6 p.m. and the reading will begin at 7 p.m.

There will also be items on display for a silent auction taking place the next day. Attendees of the reading will have the first opportunity at the items. Proceeds will go to the Friends of Theodore Roethke foundation.

The foundation helps

maintain the Theodore Roethke Home Museum in Saginaw. The museum is the childhood home of the poet.

“I think it’s super important for Saginaw,” said graduate student Jonathan Barefield, a staff member of Temenos.

The journal is trying to standardize its look and staff and is trying to expand its reach, said graduate student Amee Schmidt, the editor-in-chief of the journal.

“There are 14 different states represented and one is from Dublin, Ireland,” she said.

Schmidt said the special edition which features 22 contributors, 10 of whom will present at the reading.

“We did a call for submissions inspired by Theodore Roethke in some way,” Schmidt said.

Graduate student Regan Schaeffer, the managing editor of Temenos, said future print special editions, will be offered but regular editions of the journal will be electronic.

“Even though the staff has to be composed of graduate students, we accept submissions from everybody,” she said. “It really does tie in nicely to the ‘Central Review’ because there’s a path for aspiring writers to follow at CMU.” Schaeffer said the staff is thrilled about the location.

“We want everybody to come,” Schmidt said. “Community members are welcome — bring your mom and dad.”

The journal has been published every semester since 2000. studentlife@cm-life.com

MOVIE PREVIEW

Snowboarding film to be shown in Bovee Wednesday

By Sean Bradley Staff Reporter

Cameras have closely follow snowboarding as it is pushed to new limits.

A screening of a new snowboarding film, “Art of Flight,” will be held at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Bovee University Center Auditorium. Admission to the event is free.

Hope Sophomore Anthony Lazzaro Red Bull student brand manager and MVMT media productions event director, said Red Bull is giving college campuses around the U.S. the opportunity to view this film before the winter extreme sports season begins.

“A lot of people are excited about the film,” he said. “It gets students pumped up for

the winter season.”

“Art of Flight” also features 10 of the top riders currently in snowboarding, including Travis Rice.

Lazzaro said the event is also a great networking opportunity for student entrepreneurs.

Think Tank Clothing, founded by Grand Ledge junior Abe Schaas in 2006, will attend to promote the clothing line. The company currently produces fleece-line bandannas, custom hoodies and T-shirts, Schaas said.

Think Tank Clothing will be giving away bandanas and stickers at the event.

He said the film is very well-done and shows snowboarding as a fun, energetic sport.

“I thought it was really cool how they’re pushing the

sport,” Schaas said. “I thought it was cool that they had better angles (in the film).”

Jeff Wegner, MVMT media productions founder and Saginaw senior, said he is really impressed with the film’s trailer.

“Every time I’ve seen Red Bull, they’re doing something better and bigger than they’ve previously done,” he said.

Wegner said he likes the film’s atmosphere and said showing the film in Mount Pleasant will attract students who enjoy extreme winter sports.

“I like that it’s got a real backwoods feel to it,” he said. “The Red Bull athletes are not in any well-known parks or resorts. They’re having fun.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Headliners offered a variety of different things from makeup touch-ups to paraffin hand waxes.

They also provided snacks and punch, as well as discounted products and a sign-up sheet for a free basket giveaway.

“It’s very good for Mount Pleasant,” Roestel said. metro@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan men’s crosscountry has its first NCAA Nationals runner since Matt Loiselle in 2005.

Sophomore Tecumseh Adams finished fourth overall at regionals, qualifying for the meet.

As a team, CMU finished 7th out of 31 teams Saturday at regionals, a far cry from its 19th-place finish a year ago.

didn’t run regionals last year,” said Assistant coach Matt Kaczor. “We geared them for this race and we are becoming a force to be reckoned with.”

Adams led the team with a careerbest time of 30:12 on the 10k course in Toledo, Ohio.

He qualified for Nationals on Nov. 21st.

Randolph has seen Adams mature over the season, becoming an elite athlete.

“Obviously coach Kaczor has done a great job coaching Tec as

well,” Randolph said. “Tec has matured and is now reaping the rewards from it. He now knows what it takes to become one of the best athletes in the country. He still has a chance to become an All-American too.”

Kaczor feels that Adams is ready to become a premier athlete for CMU. “He has really stepped up lately,” he said. “He has made the jump to the next level. He is a premier athlete.”

entral Michigan athletics announced that the attendance of the football game was 12,127 Thursday against Ohio.

I’m no mathematician, but I seriously doubt that number. I think anyone who saw rows of empty bleachers on ESPNU or went to the game can agree with me.

That has to be frustrating to players.

These players went to Kentucky, Michigan State and North Carolina State — all three impressive venues with good fan bases. Then they come home to Kelly/Shorts Stadium and feel lonely.

But I don’t blame the students. I do blame scheduling.

It’s a 3-8 team on a cold Thursday night in November.

I have heard from many alumni that they can’t attend mid-week games and I understand why.

People aren’t going to take off work to see CMU against Ohio.

Students late in the semester can’t give up four hours of studying in the middle of their week.

That’s why college football has always been played on Saturdays.

It’s been done for a reason.

Players said it didn’t affect them following the game and that’s the right thing to say, but it has to be frustrating.

That place was packed with a winning team.

“It’s somewhat (frustrating), but we’re out there playing for each other,” said quarterback Ryan Radcliff. “Yeah, it’s nice to go out there, have a big student section and all that stuff, but we’re ultimately playing for each other and to represent the university. If there’s fans out there then there’s fans out there, if not, there’s not. We’re just going to play football.”

I feel bad for the players.

They wake up every morning around five and practice every day. They play road game after road game, bringing in money for athletics.

Finally, they’re able to play a home game in front of their friends, family and school, but only 90 students were counted at one point in the second half.

You have to imagine that ESPNU tried not to show any of the stands on TV. Who would want to watch a game on TV that no one wants to even go to?

There’s not much to blame outside of scheduling.

Big crowds won’t keep coming to see a losing team, but it’s still sad for the players playing.

“We can’t let that be a factor,” said safety Jahleel Addae.

We’ll see if there will be a better showing to send off the seniors Friday against Toledo. After all, these seniors won at least one Mid-American Conference title for the Chippewas.

A good start Men’s basketball team wins regular season opener against Ferris State

By Aaron McMann | Staff Reporter This may not have been the way Ernie Zeigler had envisioned the start to the season.

But, he will take it anyway.

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team saw a 16-point second-half lead whittled down to two late Saturday, but held on to beat Ferris State 6560 before 2,386 at McGuirk Arena.

“We did the things we had to do to fight and preserve our home court,” said CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler. “I don’t think it was so much what they did, I just thought we struggled understanding how to get each other some shots.”

CMU matched its largest lead of the game, 44-28, at the 19:30 mark of the second half, but an 18-5 run over the next 8 minutes pulled Ferris State to within a possession. A 3-pointer by guard Dontae Molden cut the Chippewas lead to two, but sophomore guard Derek Jackson sank four free throws in

“It was a disappointing loss, especially the way we lost,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “There’s a lot of room to grow.

We have a lot of first-year players that got some experience today.”

CMU’s highly rated freshman class made its debut in the loss. Two freshmen, Crystal Bradford and Jessica Green, came off the bench, leading the team in scoring with 14 and 13 points respectively.

Freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey started the game, scoring Central’s first

points of the season on a short jumper in the lane, tying the game at two. She finished with six points, leading the team with eight rebounds.

Throughout the first half both teams played sloppy, combining to commit 29 turnovers.

“First game jitters might have been a factor,” Guevara said. “Especially for the young kids.”

Northwestern forward Kendall Hackney made a 3-point shot, tying the game at 26 with four minutes left in the first half. The Wildcats went on a 10-0 run, A LOSS | 2B

SEASON OUTLOOK The team has had a major turnaround this season.

Randolph acknowledged that there are a few differences from the 2010 team to 2011.

“Their bodies have adapted to the miles this year,” he said.

“They have matured after great coaching and a training plan.”

Adams led the Chippewas, but it was a complete team effort.

game with three 3-pointers which, along with a Green layup, cut NU’s lead to 42-39.

“DiGuilio went 4-for-5 in the second half,” Guevara said.

“She was playing the first half too, but we weren’t getting her the ball. She made an adjustment in the second half and people were getting her the ball quicker.”

DiGuilio finished with 12 points.

CMU took a 43-42 lead at the 13:23 mark of the second half with Bradford’s jumper, but the Wildcats took the lead for good.

Central’s top returning scorer, junior Brandie Baker, was held scoreless for the first time in her career.

“I saw a lot of hesitation,” Guevara said about Baker. “I saw a player not very confident in her game on the offensive side of the ball. She’s been a workhorse all summer. Right now the work isn’t paying off and we have to get her back.”

CMU now prepares for a 10day road trip, starting with a Friday game against Robert Morris.

“I told the team before the game that were getting ready to run a marathon,” Guevara said. “We just ran the first mile a little bit slower than I thought, but we will be back at practice tomorrow working on our turnovers and our rebounding.”

Junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto had 10 rebounds, as CMU outrebounded the Bulldogs 50-36.

“The game presented a lot of different scenarios our newcomers can now be able to know how it’s going to be,” Zeigler said. “Overall, we had some very good performances, but at the same time we know we have a lot of room for growth.”

Kenny Brown scored 20

points on 8-for-19 shooting, including 4-of-13 from 3-point range, for Ferris State. The sophomore forward helped keep the Bulldogs in the game with a trio of 3-pointers in the second half. Freshman guard Drew Lehman, coming off an 11-point performance against Michigan on Friday night, had 11 points and six rebounds.

Sophomore Colin Voss sat out the game with a fractured right wrist. Zeigler said he will be reevaluated next week and could miss 4 to 6 weeks.

two weeks after finishing second at the MAC Championships.

It finished first with its 7th place finish.

Akron finished 13th, Kent State 14th, Toledo 15th, and MAC champion Eastern Michigan 16th.

Randolph was pleased with the team and its first place finish amongst MAC schools.

“We want the team to be ready at the end of the year to go and compete,” he said. “If teams aren’t showing up at the end of the year at conference championships and regionals, than they aren’t training the right way. We executed our plan into place.”

Kaczor knew part of the plan was to attack the other MAC schools.

“They have me really excited right now,” he said. “We

got the right guys and they are developing. I knew we had something special, but they are exceeding my expectations right now. They were like a swarm of bees out there, just attacking everyone.”

Randolph is excited about how the year progressed, but understands that the team needs to take it one day at a time.

“I’m excited, but I have to keep my emotions in check,” he said. “We have to take it one day at a time and control the current time. I’m excited about today and next year we have all the men coming back.”

Let this be a warning for the MAC: The Chippewas are going to attack next year.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Keel provides spark off bench; Voss out with wrist injury

By John Manzo Sports Editor

Offense was a concern for the Central Michigan men’s basketball team last season.

Austin Keel could be a solution to those offensive woes.

The freshman guard made his presence known at the 9:05 mark of the first half when he knocked down a 3-pointer from the left baseline.

That became a reoccuring theme.

Keel knocked down four 3-point field goals in the first half, finishing the game with a team-high 12 points, shooting 4-for-7 from 3-point range.

“He’s a guy that can be instant offense for us,” said CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler. “We have a lot of guys at that spot, but he’s going to get minutes there. People have to guard him and when we’re driving gaps and finding him, it makes it tough on the defense.”

Keel made all four of his 3-point attempts within a four-minute span, keeping the team’s lead from diminishing in a game where it won 65-60 against Ferris State.

He attempted 14 shots in his first collegiate minutes against Marygrove on Nov. 2, finishing with a game-high 16 points and didn’t hesitate to shoot the ball on Saturday.

“I like to shoot anywhere,” Keel said. “If I’m open, I’m going to shoot it.”

Keel is becoming a fan favorite. He wasn’t entered into the second half until midway through it.

Fans weren’t pleased with the late arrival of the sharpshooting guard.

They began chanting, “We want Keel, we want Keel.”

He said he didn’t feel any pressure in his first colligate game, knowing that he needed to stay confident it his abilities and he would be fine.

“I just wanted to come in and be confident in everything I did tonight and I felt like I did that from the start and just try to maintain that throughout the whole game.”

GAME NOTES Sophomore forward Colin Voss injured his right wrist at practice Thursday and Zeigler said he will be reevaluated Monday. He could potentially be out 4-6 weeks or longer.

“It’s really an unfortunate blow for us,” Zeigler said.

Fellow sophomore Trey Zeigler didn’t start in the win against Ferris State for violating a team rule.

He finished the game with 11 points and a team-high 12 rebounds.

Ernie said Trey could ‘possibly’ start Tuesday when the team hosts Charlotte at 7 p.m. sports@cm-life.com

Freshmen make big impact for women’s basketball DiGuilio guides young team on court

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

The freshmen made an impact in Friday’s opener for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team against Northwestern.

Whether it was good or bad, it was a freshman making it happen in the 69-60 loss.

“I think, for the freshman, it was for sure first-game jitters,” said head coach Sue Guevara.

Freshman guards Jessica Green and Crystal Bradford led the scoring attack. Bradford scored 14 points with Green contributing 13 points.

Fellow freshman Jas’Mine Bracey started, leading the team with eight rebounds and scored six points.

“I play freshman if they’re producing,” Guevara said. “I don’t care if you’re a senior or a freshman — if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, you’re going to play.”

The team had 26 turnovers, nine coming from freshmen.

“There was a point where we had three turnovers in a row and all of them were

by freshmen trying to make something happen,” Guevara said. “First-year players have to understand they have to let the game develop a bit.”

Niki DiGuilio’s role is to shoot, but now, she’s becoming more of a leader.

“I’m trying to be a learning device for the freshmen,”

DiGuilio said. “Several times throughout the game I was coaching Crystal (Bradford), Jas’Mine (Bracey) and Jessica (Green) where they needed to be and what we’re doing,” Green scored 13 points with four assists, three steals and blocked a shot in her 24

minutes off the bench.

“I was a little nervous, but I got settled in and it got better,” Green said. “I still need a lot to work on. I did have a few turnovers, but I think once we get it together we’ll be a good team.” sports@cm-life.com

Chippewas underclassmen wrestlers successful in MSU open

By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan wrestling team knew coming into this season it would have to rely on several underclassmen to be successful.

Saturday at the Michigan State Open, freshmen Nick Hodgkins and Mike Ottinger showed they have the ability to dominate on the mat.

Hodgkins earned fourstraight major decisions before defeating Illinois’ Caleb Ervin, 8-3 to win the fresh-

man/sophomore 149-pound title.

Hodgkins out-scored his opponents by a combined total of 58-11 in five matches.

Ottinger won his first four bouts, but lost 3-2 in the final to Michigan State’s Nick Proctor.

Junior Ben Bennett rolled through the 184-pound bracket, showing no signs of struggling after moving up a weight-class from last season.

The two-time All-American posted a major decision and three consecutive pins to win

the title. He pinned Michigan State’s Ian Hinton in just 2:34 in the finals.

Sophomore Scott Mattingly improved on his sixth place finish in last year’s open, finishing second in the 141-pound open.

He won four matches, but was edged by defending national champion Kellen Russell (Michigan), 5-2 in the finals.

Redshirt freshman Tyler Keselring lost his first match in the 133-pound open division this year after domi-

nating the 133-pound freshman/sophomore division last year.

Although the members of the CMU wrestling program were competing unattached to the school, it was a promising sign to see five members finish in the top six in their respective freshman/ sophomore divisions.

Head coach Tom Borrelli did not return calls from Central Michigan Life by press time.

CMU Place Finishers Freshman/Sophomore Division 141 Pounds - Ty Davis (4th place) 149 Pounds - Nick Hodgkins (Champion) 165 Pounds - Mike Ottinger (Runner-up) 165 Pounds - Kean Loupee (6th place) 197 Pounds - Jackson Lewis (6th place)

Men’s basketball aims to fix free throw woes against Charlotte

By Matt Thompson Assistant sports Editor

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team had its opportunities at the foul line against Ferris State in the season opener.

It just couldn’t capitalize.

Thirteen shots were missed from the free-throw line.

Freshman point guard Austin McBroom was 1-of-4 and sophomore guard Trey Zeigler was 7-of-13.

In Central’s second game Tuesday night against UNCCharlotte they look to improve from an 18-for-31 night at the foul line.

“I try to short-shoot it and I got short,” Zeigler said.

“I think I’m shooting it too long. Just staying consistent with what I do and how I started.”

Sophomore guard Derek Jackson was one bright spot from the charity stripe.

He went 6-for-6, including four crucial free throws in the last 25 seconds, sealing the victory over Ferris State, 65-60.

Ferris State guard Kenny Brown helped exploit the defense for 20 points. UNC Charlotte has similar guards.

“Charlotte is going to come in with some guys similar to Brown that are going to be looking to take shots,” said CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler.

Trey’s struggles didn’t stop at the free-throw line Saturday night. He was 2-of-6 from the field, although he accounted for a doubledouble, scoring 10 points and hauling down 11 rebounds.

The 49ers put up 104 points in their opening win over North Carolina Central.

Ernie wasn’t happy with CMU’s offense against Ferris State. The Chippewas shot 37 percent.

“I think we need to be better offensively in terms of having patience and picking our spots individually,” he said.

He looks for improvement on offense before the Chippewas head on the road.

Their next game is Nov. 21 against Pepperdine in Malibu, Calif. before heading to the Alaska Shootout during Thanksgiving break.

“We got numerous guys we can lean upon,” Ernie said. “We have to be able to have a better, longer sustained sense of execution.”

Open Division 125 Pounds - Joe Roth (3rd place) 141 Pounds - Scott Mattingly (Runner-up) 157 Pounds - Lucas Smith (6th place) 184 Pounds - Ben Bennett (Champion)

Freshmen receivers have costly drops in loss against Ohio

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

ANDREW KUHN/ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR

Freshman wide receiver Titus Davis drops a pass during Thursday’s game against Ohio at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant. Davis had six catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns during the Chippewas’ 43-28 loss.

Quarterback Ryan Radcliff has been able to rely on young receivers to haul in his passes all season.

Thursday, with his favorite target Cody Wilson injured, those freshman had trouble reeling in passes.

Central Michigan head coach Dan Enos said they dropped about 12.

“I knew this day was going to come eventually,” Enos said. “I knew they weren’t going to go their whole careers and catch every pass. They’re freshman.”

Many of the drops came from true freshmen wide receivers Titus Davis and Courtney Williams. Davis and Williams were both coming off big performances at Kent State the previous week.

Davis had 10 catches for 197 yards and two touch-

downs. Williams had six grabs for 47 yards and a score. It was the ones they didn’t catch against Ohio that frustrated Enos.

“We left a lot of plays out there on the field,” Enos said.

“It could’ve made it a closer game. Mistakes like dropped balls, missed other things and a safety because the right tackle trips.”

Radcliff didn’t want to place blame after the game.

“It’s going to hurt us, those drops,” Radcliff said. “But at the same time, I have to take responsibility. If I’m not hitting them in the numbers every time, then I have to see what I’m doing.”

On the box score, both receivers finished with big days.

Davis had two touchdowns and 110 yards receiving while Williams had 133 yards and one score.

“Both came back after drops, both made big plays,”

Enos said. “They’re going to have to grow.”

After a few drops, Williams made a 31-yard reception, setting up a one-yard touchdown run by Zurlon Tipton early in the fourth quarter making it a one-possession game.

“They responded well, they’re young,” Radcliff said.

“It was good to see they came back and kept playing and kept fighting through.”

Wilson’s chances of playing on Friday against Toledo are still up in the air. Either way, Radcliff will likely have to rely on the freshmen to step up which is one thing Enos said they didn’t do in the third quarter against Ohio.

“The third quarter offensively (was) drop, drop, drop, drop, drop,” Enos said frustrated. “(You) can’t do that against good football teams.” sports@cm-life.com

Another up, down weekend for volleyball team

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

It was another up-and-down weekend for the Central Michigan volleyball team as it ended its Mid-American Conference regular season.

The Chippewas ended it with an 8-8 record after losing to Ball State Saturday night and beating Toledo Friday.

“There were some ups and downs and we learned from every loss,” said junior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude. “That’s the way the MAC is. The MAC is tough.”

CMU kept it close in its first two games against the Cardinals, losing 25-23 in game one and winning the second 25-17.

“We were in good rhythm passing, but weren’t as crisp in game one,” said head coach Erik Olson. “We served very well in game two.”

Ball State adjusted after two games and it changed the outlook of the match.

It jumped out to an 11-0 lead in game three, eventually winning 25-15. The Cardinals sealed the match with a 25-16 win in game four.

“Ball State really responded

coming out of the break,” Olson said.

“They just had a really Friday good night.”

It wasn’t a terrible night for the Chippewas.

“In the second half of games three and Saturday four we were down quite a bit, but we played some good ball,” Olson said.

“We started playing some good team defense and got a service run and it was nice to see the team come back alive.”

TOLEDO On Friday night it was a different CMU team.

The Chippewas displayed some dominance, beating Toledo in four games. The offense ran without a hitch and the defense made strong plays.

“We served so tough, we

only needed three digs in the first game,” Olson said.

CMU went on to win the first game 25-11, setting the tone for the rest of the match.

Sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell set the tone for the offense.

“You look at our hitting percentage and we had five hitters over .300 percent,” Olson said. “That is the number we want to look at. She played some intelligent offense and she is getting better and better.”

Outside hitters junior Val DeWeerd, freshman Kaitlyn McIntyre and Dulude were above .300 percent hitting while middle blockers sophomore Danielle Gotham and senior Kaitlyn Schultz joined them in receiving Maxwell’s career-high 64 assists.

“We had a really good connection and everything was clicking on the night,” Maxwell said.

The Chippewas solidified their spot as the No. 6 seed in the MAC Tournament and will play No. 3 seeded Western Michigan to start the tournament at 1:30 p.m.

Friday in Geneva, Ohio at

Enos angry with scheduling Game calendar questioned after loss against Ohio

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

Central Michigan football played three games in 12 days while Ohio came in with eight days rest and head coach Dan Enos took exception to that.

“For the conference to give a team 10 games off to play Temple and then have us play Friday night and get home six in the morning Saturday morning and play a game Thursday night,” Enos said.

“It doesn’t make much sense to me.”

Enos is referring to Ohio’s previous two games. The Bobcats played Akron and then waited ten days to play Temple. After that they had another eight days before the game last night in Mount Pleasant.

“They looked like a wellrested good football team,” Enos said followed the Chippewas 43-28 loss Thursday in Mount Pleasant.

CMU’s scheduling was unfavorable with two threegame road trips as well. Some of those games were nonconference scheduled games at Kentucky and Michigan State to generate revenue, but the second set of three were conference games.

“I have no problem with midweek games, just make it equitable on how much time and rest people get in between games,” Enos said. “I like midweek games, I think they’re great.

“Make it equitable.”

Enos didn’t mind that CMU played three games in 12 days, he’s bothered that Ohio didn’t have to.

“If it’s equitable,” Enos said on playing that many games in less than two weeks. “Just make sure everyone is doing the same thing.”

Safety Jahleel Addae and

quarterback Ryan Radcliff thought the team was fine heading into the game.

“You can’t blame that on the loss,” Addae said. “We got to take care of our bodies. All we got to do is play the cards that we were dealt.”

Radcliff seemed proud of the way his team fought.

“The guys, they fought hard, even after last week’s tough game we had a great

week of practice,” Radcliff said. “Like we say, keep your hands up and chin down, keep fighting, keep punching. “(The) guys (were) handling it pretty well for the situation we were put in.”

Enos didn’t like his players to be put in that situation, though. sports@cm-life.com

lassifi ifiClassifi edsClassifi edsedseds Classifieds It wasn’t one of the best offensive showings, but there was promise. Freshman guard Austin Keel came off the bench and knocked down four first-half 3-pointers. Zach Saylor was aggressive on the boards in place of the injured Colin Voss.

Free throw shooting is a concern, the team only made 18 of its 31 attempts. That must improve against better competition.

The Chippewas are a guard-heavy team, but they struggled to defend in those positions. FSU guard Kenny Brown knocked down four of the team’s 11 3-pointers.

CMU did a nice job defending inside the perimeter, holding the Bulldogs to 14 points inside the paint. It also contained FSU’s top-scorers.

CMU went up against a Big Ten opponent and showed positive signs on offense. Sophomore guard Niki DiGuilio didn’t attempt a shot in the first half, but knocked down 4-of-5 3-point attempts.

The 29 points Northwestern scored off turnovers hurt the scoreboard, but CMU played well defensively. The team had 13 steals and Crystal Bradford proved that she can be a threat offensively and defensively, recording two blocks.

Freshman guard Crystal Bradford quietly scored a teamhigh 14 points. The 26 turnovers won’t cut it if the team wants to be successful. Junior guard Brandie Baker was help scoreless for the first time in her career.

CMU was outrebounded 48-32 and that needs to be fixed. If not, the team will struggle to get wins.
