Ross holds Q&A session with SGA

FootBaLL

Attendance ranking among worst in history

By Logan Patmon Staff Reporter

University President George Ross said Central Michigan University “can’t be everything to everybody” Monday to members of the Student Government Association.

Ross began by discussing Academic Prioritization, the process in which Provost Gary Shapiro ranked every academic program on a scale of 1 to 5, with input from college deans and faculty.

“We are legally obligated to make sure you will complete your major. But we need to be objective about our future,” he said.

Most of the topics Ross discussed had to do with the financial health of the university and how students are going to be affected in the future.

Ross had no answer to Farmington Hills sophomore Hannah Keshishian’s question on why some students have lost their Pell grants and scholarships that came through the office of Financial Aid. “I feel bad because he didn’t know how to respond to my question,” Keshishian said. “I think it threw him for a loop, but a lot of the questions he was asked threw him for a loop.”

After being questioned about a possible raise in tuition, Ross responded by pointing out that CMU had the lowest tuition increase in the state this year at 3.47 percent.

Colin Howard, Dec. 2010 alumnus, works on filling tires to be used as the foundation of a chicken coop at “The Hive,” a sustainable Earthship located outside of Taos, N.M.

Mother Earthship alumnus builds recycled sustainable houses for internship

By Jamie Favazza | Staff Reporter When Colin Howard graduated last year he did not go looking for a desk job.

The 25-year-old Grand Rapids resident was not even sure if his degree in social work was right for him.

After graduating in December 2010, he did everything from delivering pizzas to stand-up comedy to farming, until he finally found something to be passionate about — Earthships.

“An Earthship is a sustainable home built out of recycled materials,” Howard said. “You build tire walls and angle the windows at about a 15-degree angle so that when the sun rises in the south all the tires absorb all the heat. They’re made up of tires, plastic bottles, concrete and adobe mud.”

Howard said he was inspired after watching “Garbage Warrior,” a documentary about architect and Earthship creator Michael Reynolds. Howard then applied for a month-long internship with Earthship Biotecture, an organization founded by Reynolds.

According to the Earthship Biotecture website, Reynolds has been researching and developing self-sufficient housing made from recycled materials for 35 years.

Since Nov. 1, Howard has been living in an Earthship called “The Hive” in an offthe-grid community made up of 65 Earthships located about five miles outside of Taos, N.M. He spends his days painting, counting tires, working with concrete and making walls out of plastic bottles.

“You hear the concept of building with garbage and you think it’s going to be a shanty house; it’s the complete opposite actually,” he said.

Howard said the average Earthship is made up of about 500 to 700 tires from junk yards or tire shops.

“You’re turning trash into treasure, so to speak. It’s really incredible because you can do a lot with so little,” he said. “I just found out how to use the methane from the septic tank to heat the stove.

You’re using farts to power your food; it sounds kind of weird, but that kind of blew me away.”

Standard features of an Earthship include a built-in greenhouse, a filter system for rainwater to use for drinking and a water recycling sys-

NCAA guidelines require Division 1 football average attendance to be at 15,000 at least once every two years — the Central Michigan University football team is dangerously close to being under this year.

Heading into this year’s final CMU game against Toledo, the attendance is just over the benchmark at 15,929. CMU must have more than 11,250 people file through the gates Friday night to avoid falling under that number.

If that does happen, the Chippewas would still be a division one program, unless they do not reach 15,000 next year.

It will be easier to get people at games with Michigan State University, Navy and Western Michigan University coming to Mount Pleasant next season.

“I have every expectation that we’ll make that,” said CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke. “I have no doubt we meet 15,000 next year.”

If CMU matches its attendance from last week, that will put the figure at 15,168. It would be the third-smallest attendance in Kelly/Shorts

tem that enables water from the sink and showers to fill up the toilet.

“I think what a lot of people don’t understand about living off the grid, you don’t live without the amenities; we have the internet, we have warm water, we have TVs — it’s the Western way of life, except you’re not taking from the earth,” he said.

“You’re giving back to it and you don’t feel guilty about the way you’re living. This is my way of being the change I want to see.”

In the past year, Howard said he feels like he’s become a do-it-yourself person. His girlfriend Karley Hoffman, a Lansing senior, agreed.

“He’s really into self-sustaining,” she said. “We’d talked about living communally and trying to live off the land

as much as we can and sort of draw ourselves away from grocery stores and things like that.”

Howard said he plans to continue a self-sustaining lifestyle when he returns to Michigan by building his own Earthship and continuing to grow his own food. He said there is potential for an Earthship to be constructed in the Detroit area in the near future.

Hoffman described Howard as outgoing, funny, friendly and open-minded.

She said she’s open to trying out the Earthship lifestyle.

“I never thought you could build a home out of garbage,” she said. “I never thought you could have no waste whatsoever.”

Yoder to present on CMED to A-Senate

By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter and Catey Traylor Staff Reporter

CharLottE bodak/staff photographer

Central Michigan University’s President George Ross talks about issues concerning academic prioritization during the Senate meeting Tuesday afternoon in Pearce Hall.

Ernest Yoder will present material regarding the College of Medicine to the Academic Senate, but at a later date than members would like.

During Tuesday’s A-Senate meeting, a motion was presented requesting Yoder, founding dean of CMED, “provide a written description of any and all changes made to the curriculum for the Medical Doctor

Degree since its approval by the senate on Nov. 16, 2010 including any changes to the master course syllabi.”

The motion also requested Yoder send in copies of all master course syllabi related to CMED curriculum so they can be posted on the A-Senate website by Nov. 23.

“There’s no way that I can have this material prepared in the format asked by (the 23rd or even) the 29th,” Yoder said.

Two weeks ago A-Senate voted to halt “all work by, toward, and on behalf of the College

of Medicine pertaining to curriculum, non-curricular policies and procedures, and faculty recruitment be suspended until such time as the above concerns have been addressed by and to the satisfaction of the Academic Senate.” But some have said the vote was unconstitutional because not all members were informed about the vote beforehand.

Student Government Association President Vince Cavataio, a Shelby township senior, motioned for the motion to be amended so the material could

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

be given at a later date. A second motion was then requested for the votes to be done electronically. Confusion ensued as the A-Senate attempted to figure out which motion it was voting on.

Eventually, it voted to postpone the original CMED motion by a vote of 68 percent.

Yoder will present on CMED Nov. 29 and also give five presentations on issues that were discussed with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.

During Provost Gary Shapiro’s report, questions were asked about the self-study done by CMED. In a section regarding, “strengths and challenges,” David Smith, professor of religion and philosophy, asked about the use of the term “egalitarian culture” as a challenge.

“Do we have an egalitarian culture? Yes we do,” Shapiro said. “The question is, what is the proper mix between egalitarian culture and equity? In some areas we’ve overemphasized egalitarian rather than performance-based.”

Suspended student The incident of the suspended journalism student was also discussed. Political Science Chairman Orlando Perez asked why no name has been released and why the

“About three decades ago, public universities like CMU got around three-quarters of their funding from the government, now they get around 16 percent,” Ross said. “We are becoming much more tuition-dependent.”

Ross also explained why this year’s freshmen class is smaller than the previous classes.

“After fall 2010, we decided to restrict the GPA and standardized ACT/SAT test score requirements for students applying to Central,” Ross said. “By doing this, we have a smaller freshmen class this year that has a higher GPA.” Ross discussed the increase in government regulation for universities and the increasing need to hire additional administrators over the past few years.

Ross said he is trying to avoid having more than four vice presidents.

Legally, the university does not currently have the right to release the name, Shapiro said. The decision to not expel the student was made by the Office of Student Life. He was asked to email the Central Michigan University community because rumors had been spread regarding the situation, he said.

Shapiro said he has been informed by the authorities that the situation has been peacefully resolved and the community is safe.

“That person went through Student Life, and that was the decision made by the appropriate individuals,” Shapiro said. “I personally have been told it is sufficient, and in that sense, I have to rely upon the people that make that decision.” course withdrawals The course withdrawal process has changed this semester, and continues to

[News] vices,” Ross said. “This is a new position that combined two previous ones.”

When Ross was asked what the Academic Senate’s vote to halt action on CMED will do, he advised the student to ask the A-Senate.

The last major topic Ross discussed was online classes.

“I think we need both, and there are no plans to replace face-to-face classes with online ones,” Ross said. “A quarter of our students are non-traditional students who can’t make it to Mount Pleasant to sit in a classroom. Many of them are adults who have to work, and online courses are very beneficial to them.”

Vince Cavataio, Shelby Township senior and Student Government Association president, said he believed students benefited from the question and answer session.

“This was very informative for students — they were able to ask questions about the things that they care about,” Cavataio said. “We are hoping to have President Ross back again in the near future.”

But last year it got a 15,805 average attendance.

EMU athletics and ticket office both declined to comment when asked how there were jumps from year to year in the attendance to make the NCAA guidelines.

undergo improvements.

The new withdrawal system allows students to electronically drop a class without having to discuss the decision with their professors.

Registrar Karen Hutslar outlined issues with the changes.

“Concerns were raised about students lacking communication with faculty members when withdrawing from courses,” she said. “With the changes made to the process, that part was eliminated.”

Course withdrawal is initiated by the student, and the professor is informed after initial paperwork is complete.

“Often when students come into my office, I ask if they’ve spoken to their professors and they haven’t,” Hutslar said. “It used to be a requirement in order to withdraw, but now that it’s not, most students never even have the conversation with their teachers.

“I haven’t heard of the NCAA penalizing a school for being under — although schools don’t let it come to that,” Heeke said.

He said schools can get very “imaginative” with the ways they hit the requirement. For example, buying tickets themselves.

“Regardless of how we did this year, we knew we’d have challenges with attendance,” Heeke said. “Weeknight games are challenges for our conference. They are not good for attendance. It’s extremely hard to build a fan base with two, three straight away games. And the mid-week games, and of course the team has struggled.”

Faculty Association forms silent protest for LCME Monday

By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

About 40 Faculty Association members waited on the second floor of Rowe Hall Monday afternoon hoping to be spotted by the visiting members of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education.

LCME has been on campus since Sunday, deciding whether or not the College of Medicine should progress further toward academic accreditation.

The FA members stood outside CMED Dean Ernest Yoder’s office as he led LCME members in and out of rooms.

The FA members agreed their goal was to form a silent protest without handouts, signs or chants.

“We’re just gathering because one of the meetings this afternoon is dealing with faculty issues,” said Reference Librarian Elizabeth Morris. “We want to make sure the LCME are aware there are some concerns about

the College of Medicine.”

Assistant Professor of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts Jeff Smith said since only four FA members are going to be able to meet with LCME, the group wanted to show they care about the issues.

“This really has more to do with us as faculty than as union members,” Smith said.

Central Michigan University Police Sergeant Trent Case said he had been asked to make sure advocacy policies regarding

protests were being met.

Smith said the policy allows for indoor acts protests as long as no material is passed out, no classrooms are blocked and the noise level does not interfere with classes.

Case said he saw no problems.

“I certainly wouldn’t anticipate any issues,” Case said. “We haven’t had any with the FA.” The only action Case saw was when a person from Yoder’s office came out and asked him if

the FA members could speak a little quieter since the noise could be heard in the meeting.

“Can you keep it down a little bit?” Case asked the crowd.

The volume dropped instantly. Case smiled, gave a small “thank you” and returned to his post leaning against the wall.

At about 3:30 p.m., LCME members walked into the hallway, led by Yoder. As they passed, they smiled at the two lines of FA members on either side, all of whom returned the

smiles, then walked into another room and shut the door.

The row of FA members began filtering out of the hall along with a crowd of students who were just getting out of class.

About two weeks ago, the Academic Senate voted to halt further development of CMED, although it is uncertain if the ASenate has the authority to do so, or if the vote will serve only as a symbolic disproval. university@cm-life.com

Wightman Hall gives students runway for designs Students walked with a whole new strut in Wightman Hall on Tuesday.

The second Hallway Fashion Show gave eight student designers the runway to display their latest creations.

About 45 people watched as models walked down the hall wearing designs by the AMD 545: Introduction to Draping class.

Assistant Professor of Human Environmental Studies Su Kyoung An said each student made four outfits for the show.

“They had to do gathering, a tunic dress, a recycled garment and a historical garment,” she said.

Romeo Senior Justine Young said her favorite design was her historical piece.

More than half of Master of Science in Administration programs in on-campus graduate studies received a Priority 4 or 5 ranking in the Academic Prioritization preliminary report released Oct. 27.

The report, which was released by Provost Gary Shapiro, seeks to eliminate or reduce some on and offcampus graduate programs as well as some undergraduate ProfEd programs.

The rankings vary from Priority 1 through 5, with Priority 1 indiciating it merits increased support.

On-campus MSA graduate studies had two programs that received a Priority 5, organizational communication and recreation, and

parks administration.

Interim Dean of Graduate Studies Roger Coles said he was not surprised by the rankings.

“I like the way the process has been handled,” Coles said. “No concerns here in this office.”

Both programs face elimination because of low enrollment, according to the report.

Also ranked Priority 5 and up for elimination is the vehicle design manufacturing administration off-campus graduate program.

“There’s no market for that program anymore,” Coles said.

Coles said prioritization is an opportunity to move on to new things.

Health Services Administration was the only graduate MSA program which received a ranking of Priority 1.

to be under pressure,” the twotime Threads designer said.

Auburn senior designer Kristin LaMarre said she is looking forward to seeing classmates’ designs come together.

“When we’re all working we just see each others’ projects on the tables and don’t really look at them,” she said. “This is the exciting part.” studentlife@cm-life.com

More than $10,000 worth of items have been secured for Thursday’s silent auction which will aim to save the Roethke House in Saginaw.

The group Friends of Theodore Roethke which is devoted to preserving the childhood home of Pulitzer Prize winning poet, will host the auction from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Powers Ballroom.

“Roethke is irreverent and whimsical in poetry and craft,” said Ron Primeau, professor of English language and literature and board member of Friends of Theodore Roethke.

Earlier in the week, psychologists met at the Roethke house to begin the process of turning the house into a place for those suffering from substance abuse.

Roethke was believed to be bipolar and self-medicated with alcohol because medical attention was not commonly available, Primeau said.

“The goal is to raise funds for the Friends of Theodore Roethke so they can continue providing programming and protecting the literary legacy of Theodore Roethke through his childhood home in Saginaw,” said Michelle Campbell in an email, graduate assistant and board member of Friends of Theodore Roethke.

Last year’s silent auction raised $1,700 with fewer items. Campbell said this year’s goal is $2,000.

Primeau said artists, writers and merchants in town have been generous in helping the cause.

“We are holding the auction on Thursday because Temenos, the graduate student creative writing publication at CMU, is having the premiere of the special Roethke edition on Wednesday night in the Powers Ballroom,” Campbell said. “Those in attendance at the premiere will have a first VIP chance to view and bid on items.” university@cm-life.com

Cardboard City raises homelessness awareness

By Andrew Dooley Student Life Editor

Students built makeshift dwellings using boxes, scissors and tape to raise awareness about social issues and to defend against the cold.

The sixth annual Cardboard City 24-hour event, part of the Volunteer Center’s Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, started at 7 p.m.

Tuesday on the sidewalk west of the Charles V. Park Library.

While the event Tuesday night was centered on sidewalk chalking, construction and small-group reflection, Today’s proceedings will be dedicated to advocacy. Participants will distribute fliers

and at 6 p.m. a candlelight vigil will be held in respect for those affected by hunger and homelessness.

Danielle Schmutz, alumna and current program manager at the Volunteer Center as part of the AmeriCorps*VISTA program, said more than 200 students signed up to participate in the event, many more than in previous years.

“Typically we have 30 to 40 students sign up — today we have 202,” she said. “The first year there were eight or 10 people who attended, so it’s cool to see how it’s grown exponentially.”

Grant junior Stephanie Pocsi was taking part in the event for her third year. While

pulling out strips of packaging tape she talked about the evolution of her cardboard shelter’s design. Her shelter this year incorporates a cardboard floor, flaps to cover heads, and enough room for residents to heat each other by cuddling.

“Every year your design gets a little bit easier and a little more advanced,” she said.

Pocsi said the event makes the reality of homelessness more tangible for participants and students who walk by the Cardboard City.

“Actually sleeping outside is worse than it sounds,” she said. “Seeing all of the boxes is really powerful.”

Like Pocsi, Muskegeon

freshman Felicia McCrary was involved in homelessness awareness in high school. McCrary said friends on her floor told her not to participate, but she thought it would be a powerful experience.

“There are so many people out there who don’t have the choice,” she said.

McCrary said the event was important for raising awareness about social issues, but also played an important role as a networking event for students interested in advocacy.

“You make a bunch of new friends and meet a lot of people who are on the same page or getting there,” she said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Foreign policy debate a big deal The first foreign policy debate was held over the weekend, giving Americans a glimpse of the Republicans’ positions.

Jon Huntsman, the candidate with the most foreign policy experience had by far the best grasp on what America needs to do. Huntsman and Ron Paul both came out against waterboarding, labeling it as torture, while Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann said they would support its use.

Waterboarding is torture — for 70 years this was not debated — whether you call it “torture” or “enhanced interrogation,” it is wrong, and lowers America to the level of the terrorists we are fighting.

On the topic of Afghanistan, Huntsman said it is time for us to leave Afghanistan, leaving behind only enough troops to help finish training the Afghani soldiers and police and to provide a counterterror presence until the Afghanis are ready to fully take over.

They do not want hundreds of thousands of troops there for years to come, and now that the country is stabilizing, it is time that we respect their desires.

On Iran, Romney made a huge mistake, saying, “if we re-elect Barack Obama, Iran will have a nuclear weapon, and … if you’d elect me as the next president, they will not have a nuclear weapon.” How can he guarantee that Iran will not acquire a nuclear weapon? He can’t, and to say that to the American people is not only misleading, but it could also destroy his presidency if his promise fails.

Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum also had poor answers to the topic of Iran, with Santorum saying, “There have been scientists turning up dead in Russia and in Iran … There have been problems at their facility. I hope that the U.S. has been involved with that.”

The last thing America needs is to begin covertly killing scientists — especially in places like Russia, who we have treaties with.

Paul had the right idea when he said, “For us to get in the middle of that and prop up the different dictatorships, this is why we get into this trouble … We don’t need to lose any more troops.” The less meddling we do in other countries, the better.

When it came to the topic of foreign aid, Rick Perry said he would start all countries at $0 and increase from there, but this ignores that we already have standing agreements for aid to many countries.

The last main topic was Pakistan, and whether it is our “friend or foe.” This was where Santorum shined, stressing that because they are a nuclear country, we need to cooperate with them to ensure that they are our friend.

Ultimately, Huntsman and Paul performed best on the issue, but they trail in the polls, and with the economy, foreign policy may take a back seat in this election.

Undue Haste The Faculty Association bargaining team should have taken the “last, best, final” contract offer by the Central Michigan University administration to the general membership for a vote before rejecting it.

The offer, which adopted all recommendations made by state fact-finder Barry Goldman, maintained the initial CMU salary offer of a first-year pay freeze, and then 2.25 and 2.5 percent pay increases for the next two respective years. The FA did not negotiate down from its proposal of a one-semester pay freeze followed by a 2.2-percent pay raise next semester, followed by 3.7-percent and 3.9-percent increases in the next two respective years.

While the Central Michigan Life editorial board stands by

its previous support of the FA and believes its members deserve fair and equitable terms determined through good-faith bargaining, the bargaining unit needs to be willing to budge for a compromise.

That is not to say the FA has to accept this offer, FA members could easily look at this proposal and shoot it down, and if they do, they will simply be to exercising their rights.

It is understood the group did not have to vote on this, but to be harshly dismissive by not allowing those this will directly effect to participate seems to destroy the point of bargaining for those people.

The fact that it wasn’t being voted on is surprising.

More importantly, this is the last chance for a conclusion to

this conflict through negotiation. There is no reason this offer should not have gone to a vote before the FA membership.

It was an unnecessarily fast, decisive and absolutist conclusion to five months of negotiations.

The bargaining team honestly believes the FA deserves the pay increases in its contract proposal, and that is respectable. However, it has not adjusted its salary proposal since negotiations began in July, and that is an unnecessary show of stubbornness in this situation.

Compromises need to be made exactly because this is about the future of the university. This is not just about the pride or ideals of either side. This is about education and paving the way for the future through the students at CMU.

CMED given undue priority On Monday night, I attended an SGA meeting that featured Central Michigan University President George Ross. I listened quietly as he spoke and fielded questions, and I was struck by a number of things.

Firstly, President Ross is a remarkable politician.

The way he fielded questions, sometimes answering them, and other times not answering while giving the appearance of answering them.

Truly masterful.

Especially when I asked you about how university costs across the country have been going increasingly to bloated administrations and not to faculties, and asked you to assuage my fears this was happening at CMU. I’m sure you answered somebody’s question, sir, but you did not answer mine.

Secondly, I was reminded where the focus of much of the student body is when someone asked him whether or not they’d change the tailgating rules for the future home game against Michigan State University. You have the President of CMU in a room, fielding questions, while your professors fight for a contract and

your administrators act dubiously in contract negotiations and the progression of CMED, and you feel you should ask about the tailgating rules for a football game a year from now?

Sigh.

But what struck me the most was the glimmer of truth that is hiding underneath it all.

All you have to do is connect the dots. While discussing Academic Prioritization, President Ross stated, and I quote, “There is a commitment for additional resources” for programs that are given a rating of 1 by the Final Academic Prioritization report.

Now, that’s not hard to understand.

If programs rated 4 and 5 are reduced or eliminated, the money from those programs’ budgets would most likely go to programs rated 1 to 3. However, the reader needs to keep in mind that CMED was given a rating of 1.

Ignoring for a moment the problem with rating a program that has not held one class, a program that has not graduated a single student, has not certified one doctor, and is essentially an unaccredited dream at

this point a higher rating than established programs that have graduated hundred, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of students: If money from 4 and 5 ranked programs will be going elsewhere, if there is a “commitment for additional resources” for programs given a rating of 1, how can the administration say no tuition dollars are going to CMED? This is the claim, I believe, that came out from the recently revealed documents. How can they claim that they are not gutting programs for the benefit of a pet project? President Ross essentially admitted to it.

I’m not against a medical school.

I am against a medical school that comes with the price of established programs. I am against giving a pet project that isn’t even accredited priority over or alongside accredited programs graduating students. I am against a medical school that is built upon the corpses of the faculty.

Support Matt’s Safe School Law To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. Isn’t this the message that we want our kids to live by? But yet we sit there and encourage them to fight bullies, because that is just the process of “growing up,” or going through a “phase”? Wrong!

Kids do not deserve to be treated like this! Teased because of how they dress, picked on for the way they talk, or how they walk because of a disability, not being picked in gym class because of the color of their skin.

Does this sound like just going through a “phase” to you?

Break the doors, toss the turkey

Christmas is the season for giving, so the saying goes, but recent trends in retail suggest the adage might be perpetuated more by corporate greed than anything else.

I read about Target’s opening for this year’s Black Friday at midnight on Thanksgiving — the earliest opening ever for the store — and how many similar chains were following Target’s example and letting in the rush of rabid consumers the night before the shopping festivities traditionally begin.

It seems shoppers want to steal the deals right after they celebrate Thanksgiving with their families, and the retailers don’t seem to have any qualms about accommodating them.

The stories I hear about Black Friday get more absurd every year. I’ve heard of people getting trampled in the stampede of bargain hunters.

Is that the cost of saving a couple bucks?

The Occupy Movement, the protest against greed and corruption, seems to overlook how Black Friday madness is as much a part of that as the banks are. People are camping in tents and holding signs protesting how corporations have such a large pull on everything in American society.

But no one seems to be protesting how stores are giving families a chance to celebrate the holidays as a family by canceling Thanksgiving celebrations so they can all go out and buy scarves and shoes.

So what does it all mean?

Of course, it is a marketing scheme to increase profits in a down economy. Giving people a chance, a temptation rather, to shop on a holiday will probably drive profits through the roof. But what are the larger implications? What’s the point?

In a bad economy, people need to get out and spend money if the economy is to recover. But they shouldn’t be spending money they don’t have.

That’s what hurts an economy in the first place and it’s likelier to happen as Black Friday becomes more and more like a circus every year.

I read the story of an employee who wouldn’t be able to spend the holiday with his fiancee’s parents because he had to rest up for his 10-hour shift at Target.

It made me ask: what about the employees of these stores being made to work long shifts? Holiday pay is great, but the purpose of holiday pay is to provide compensation to workers sacrificing time with their loved ones.

But loved ones are taking a backseat to business this year, it seems, and every year if consumers don’t start to realize this, there will be no end to this madness until they start to slow down, take a breath, and do a careful evaluation of what getting a good bargain is really worth.

Charlevoix sophomore Raymond Shenoskey performs a hoop dance during the Native American Food Taster Monday Evening in the Rotunda.

Native American Food Taster includes hoop dancing demo

By Sienna Monczunski Staff Reporter

The Native American Food Taster offered more than a cheap meal and a good show.

About 300 students enjoyed food, dance and song at the event, held as part of Native American Awareness Month.

The taster began at monday evening in the Bovee University Center Rotunda. Well before the start of the event, a line of people extended down the hallway reaching to the Central Michigan University Bookstore.

After many of the tasters finished gathering their food, a hoop dance was performed while they ate.

“I’ve been hoop dancing for a few months. I learned with my tribe, the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians,” said Charleviox sophomore Raymond Shenoskey. “I learned that the hoop represents life because there is no beginning and no ending.”

The items on the menu included wild rice, cranberries, an assortment of nuts, sauteed vegetables, roasted turkey, corn soup, fried bread and strawberry shortcake.

The speaker for the event, Nathan Issac, said the foods on the menu are very important aspects of American Indian culture.

Alma resident Mark Prout attended the food taster for the second consecutive year.

“I enjoy different kinds of foods; this allows me to get outside the box,” he said. “I liked the wild rice, it had its own taste and it was simple with not a lot of additives. It’s nice to get to know new people too.”

Audience members joined in a few dances while American Indian vocalists sang traditional songs.

American Indigenous Student Organization in 2007, the food taster was held offcampus. She said she revitalized the program by bringing it on campus.

Green said in the past, their native recipes were not cooked properly, so a collaboration with the Aramark catering company allowed

foods to be prepared accurately.

“A lot of people do not understand our culture and traditions,” Green said. “It’s a great opportunity for people to learn more — it’s not every day you get to eat fried bread or wild rice.”

Low-Rated MSA programs

CONTINUED FROM 3A

Low-rated graduate on, off-campus and ProfEd programs

“Thirty percent of on-campus MSA enrollments/great potential for growth if courses are updated and offered online and if additional campus sections are available,” Shapiro said in the report.

Coles said he agreed there is a great potential for growth and there is a need to be more nimble and quick to get out in the market. “(We have to) compete with private schools to do it better,” he said.

Highland graduate student Shannon Salk is in the Masters in Public Administration program, which received a Priority 3 ranking.

Salk said the degree is extremely marketable and deserves to be Priority 1.

“MPA students become well versed in budgets, administrative law, how intergovernmental relations work and in human resource management,” she said.

Salk said the system is fair overall for those programs which only produced one graduate student in the past several years.

“But in terms of ranking fine arts lower, those may not be marketable degrees but they provide culture and enrichment to our society.

(These are) things I don’t think you can really place a price tag on,” Salk said. “I think it is kind of a biased system in that sense.”

There are two undergraduate ProfEd programs that received a Priority 5 ranking. These programs include an administration major in guest services administration and the recreation option in community development.

Peter Ross, associate vice president of academic programs and ProfEd, said the recreation major had already started the process of being eliminated.

“There have been no students in it for quite a while,” Ross said.

Ross said any final decisions are made within each department.

“ProfEd itself does not own or house the programs,”

Meet J.D. Ryan GOT THE MOST OUT OF HER DREAM SCHOOL BY STARTING AT MID.

JD graduated from high school with clear goals. She wanted to attend Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) to become a graphic designer. It’s her dream school.

“I’ve visited campus a lot and met with students and staff. It already feels like a second home,” says JD. “Plus, people who go to SCAD are really, really good at what they do.”

For JD, getting into SCAD is a foregone conclusion— she was accepted for admission there during her senior year of high school. But, instead, she started out at MMCC. “I wanted to start where I would get a lot of oneon-one attention, where I could stand out, and where I could gain confidence that would let me accomplish everything that I’m capable of. I thought that MMCC would help me to get the most out of my education. And, I was right— I’ve loved my time at Mid.” JD will graduate from MMCC in Spring 2012 and attend Savannah College of Art and Design the following fall.

Daylight in the swamp

Alone in the land of hunters

Finding patience in blind while hunting for deer

I

N

ov. 15 is considered a holiday for many deer hunters in the state of Michigan.

For some, it’s an opportunity to bring home some venison meat or add another mount to their trophy case. For others, it’s a vacation away from their wives or from work.

For me, it’s meant for exercising my patience.

Ever since I was 12 years old, my dad and I would spend every other weekend leading up to the opening day of rifle season preparing our hunting areas near my grandpa’s home in Iosco County.

We would always hike deep into swampy areas with a machete and four bags of sugar beets, this was back when it was legal to set out bait.

We would build a blind, create four shooting lanes and dump all the beets into the bestpositioned lane, about 30 yards from the blind.

At around 4:30 a.m. on opening day morning, my dad would always wake me up by saying “Orrin, daylight in the swamp!”

Every hunter knows bucks will always run around once they see daylight, looking to mate with doe during the rut.

Both my dad and I would quickly eat our breakfast, get into our orange jumpsuits and leave my grandparents’ home and walk quietly to our blinds.

The first time I ever fired my 9 mm Remington rifle at a deer was I was 16 years old. As soon as the sky went from black to dark blue, I looked through my scope and saw a 3-point buck starring right at me.

I fired at the buck, thinking I was shooting right above the buck’s front leg.

My dad, uncle, and I spent all morning searching for any signs of blood or hair, and all we came up with was a bullet hole through a tree, which we concluded diverted the bullet and caused the bullet to miss the buck.

We cut the tree down with an electric chainsaw the next year.

The following year, I shot down my first doe about 10 minutes after the sunrise, and my first buck the year after, proving my patience after all these years had paid off.

Nov. 15 will always be important for hunters all across the state, even to the point where schools would get canceled for it.

With my busy schedule in college making it more and more complicated these days to go out to my blind, I can now wait with my newfound patience for the best moment to get back out into the swamp.

Hopefully, I beat the daylight to it.

Books in the blind Student hunters prepared for rifle season

By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Gearing up for hunting season means packing rifles, ammo, camouflage and school books for sophomore Michael Wilson.

The Warren native said he will go hunting about three to four times a week since rifle season started Tuesday.

To balance schoolwork and his love of hunting, he fits in studying while scoping out prospects.

“I have notes, so I bring t h e m and usually a book to read,” he said.

“It gets kind of

boring when you’re sitting there, so I will just study in the blinds.”

Wilson travels to his family’s cabin in Harrison or to their family friend’s 40 acres of land in Leota.

He began hunting when he

was 13 years old because of his love for nature and to join the family tradition.

“It’s an experience not many people get to do,” Wilson said.

Jackson senior Matt Sierminski said he has been staking out his prey for months now.

“We have two shooter bucks on camera right now and I am looking forward to tagging one of those,” he said.

He also agreed that nature plays a role in why he started hunting with his father when he was 11 years old.

“It is one of my favorite hobbies,” he said. “It’s fun just getting out in the woods and hanging out with people who also like to hunt.”

Sierminski said last year he stored his rifle with the Central Michigan University Police Department because he lived in the residence halls.

“Up here it makes it kind of difficult to hunt, but I usually go home every weekend for it,” he said.

Owning his own taxidermy company, Trophy Elite, and carrying 18 credits as a senior, Sierminski said he has little free time.

Last year he mounted about 30 white tails in addition to some small game work A HUNT | 2B

Hunting benefits economy despite recession

By Kirsten Kearse Staff Reporter

Local businesses are preparing for an increase in sales as rifle season kicks off in Michigan.

But the state of the economy is a large factor in how much some businesses are expecting to profit during this year’s deer hunting season.

Russ Smith, owner of Smith and Sons Meat Processing, 5080 E. Broadway St., said the economy shouldn’t impact his business because there are still guys out spending money.

“Probably in a profit, about 60 percent of (our) profit comes in about one month out of the year because of deer season,” Smith said.

Alice Wheeler, owner of Ultimate Deer Hanger LLC in Remus, said the economy has taken a toll on her business.

“Because of the state of the economy, there is a lot less business than there should be,” she said. “But once the economy turns around, then this area will pick up also.”

Normally, business does pick up during hunting season, she said.

Wheeler said the year has

been pretty slow because so many people have been out of work.

“Our hangers sell for $35 and if people need a hanger to hang their deer, they’re going to go to Wal-Mart and buy a $5

one,” she said. “It’s not as good as the ones we sell, but it gets the job done.”

MC Sports, 1416 S. Mission St., is another business that has an increase in revenue during hunting season.

MC Sports employee Scott Miniear said they get a lot more business because the outdoors department has only been there for about a year.

A IMPACT | 2B

n recent years, society has seen a breakdown in the traditional values of masculinity.

The boom in the technology industry and the drastic reduction of labor-intensive jobs in America have created a society of men who are more Patton Oswalt than George S. Patton.

However, the impending end of cultural masculinity is a recent phenomenon, and one that is not fully realized.

Never is that more clear than the beginning of hunting season in mid-Michigan.

The men go hunting. If you are in grade school, you miss class to go shoot things.

Women have been accepted up in the deer stands, but still raise eyebrows.

For example, let’s say there is a young man growing up in the rural outskirts of Midland, who has never been hunting in his entire life and happened to grow into a 5’8” dynamo of bearded vigor by the name of Bradley.

When the other 10- or 11-year-olds are talking about their plans to skip school to sit out in the cold with their dad and their rifle, saying “I’m not going hunting” causes reactionary looks expected to be reserved for being told “Jesus already came back and he was the hamster you forgot to feed last year.”

By the time most of the boys in my school reached the age where they were legally allowed to hunt, they had already learned a few choice slurs for homosexuals they chose to fling liberally at the few of us who did not hunt.

I believe there were a few phenomenons at work that made this happen: First, the systemic nature of grade school society to be cruel to those who are different.

Second, in communities where hunting is prominent, not hunting is just something guys do not understand.

Not hunting was never a moral choice or anything like that; Lord knows I revel in my carnivorous tendencies. I had fired guns, and spent time in the woods, but it just was not my thing.

If somebody is asked to go roller skating and they respond, “I just don’t really like to skate,” nobody bats an eye. Say “I just don’t really like to hunt” in the wrong rural community and people will lose their minds.

As a few of those young boys who ostracized me found out a few years later, sexual orientation has nothing to do with a compulsion to shoot deer with a gun.

By all means, keep hunting. Keep being enthusiastic about it. Just be a little nicer to the guy who is not going hunting.

After all, he’s the guy staying at home with all your women.

Movie Review

Pacino can’t save ‘Jack and Jill’

By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel

Occupy Detroit wins extension to exit Grand Circus Park

By Steve Neavling Detroit Free Press

Forget “Jack and Jill” and the fact that Adam Sandler plays them both, not particularly well, in his new “twins” comedy. Al Pacino is almost reason enough to see it, all by his bigger-than-life self.

Can I get a “HOO hah”?

Pacino plays a scary, cartoonish and more over-thetop-than-usual version of himself in this farce and scores big laughs with every entrance.

He’s performing “Richard III” on the L.A. stage, bellowing at cellphone users. He may take “Man of La Mancha” to Broadway, even though he sings like Sinatra’s pet bullfrog.

And he’s mad for Jill, Jack’s obnoxious Bronx cheer of a sister, whom he met while sitting next to Johnny Depp in a Justin Bieber T-shirt at an L.A. Lakers game.

Jack (Sandler) is a wealthy TV commercial director who can’t stand his yenta-sibling, Jill (Sandler again). She comes to visit over the holidays, craving a little “twin time,” and all Jack can think of is ditching her.

“We shared our mother’s WOMB,” Jill pleads. “We’re WOMB-mates!

“I shot a nice 8-point with a bow when I was 12 years old, took it to a taxidermy studio and that’s when I got interested in it,” he said.

eyed Oscar-winner’s attention, Jack needs his twin — or her clothes, in case he has to dress up like her to “close the deal.”

Even by sloppy Sandler movie standards, this one’s a wreck — fart jokes, potty zingers and pit-stain gags. Cameos from infomercial stars and ex-“Saturday Night Live” colleagues pepper the set, along with product placement from a certain pink stomach medicine, the aforementioned donuts and even a cruise line.

Mexican comic Eugenio Derbez does some catchphrase shtick.

One running gag works: Scripted “interviews” with real twins open and close the film and are funnier than anything Sandler’s house director, Dennis Dugan, has ever managed.

They’re the reason “Jack and Jill” starts off as though it’s going to be far more evolved than

HHHHH

the usual how-low-can-theygo wallow.

Sandler’s such a feeble actor that his bellowing rages never match the expression he musters on his blank face. He puts all his efforts into playing a woman, broadly and badly, so much so that the male twin is even duller than standardissue Sandler.

But then there’s Pacino, out of place and yet somehow right at home. You want big?

Al does BIG. And since this is as close as we’re likely to get to “Don Corleone Does Don Quixote,” that alone is worth the price of admission.

Trenkamp said he shoots Wilson’s bow and arrow for fun.

“Sometimes I do well, sometimes I hit the neighbor’s house,” he said.

Although Wilson has yet to shoot his first deer, he said he is feeling hopeful.

Miniear said the economy may impact business because licenses cost money and there are people out of jobs.

Wheeler is confident busi-

ness will increase eventually.

“It’s just a matter of waiting for the economy to turn around,” Wheeler said, “then business will pick up quite a bit.”

saying supporters have helped homeless people and demonstrated peacefully.

The local movement is in stark contrast to some Occupy Wall Street protests that have grown violent during clashes with police in cities such as New York and Oakland.

At the Occupy Detroit encampment today, the crowd was smaller than in days past. The kitchen is no longer up and the big tarp that covered the northern part of the park is now gone.

Sierminski said it takes one to three months to fully preserve a carcass for mounting.

Wilson’s roommate, Warren senior Thomas Trenkamp, said he isn’t sure how he feels about his roommate’s love for hunting.

“Recently I expressed my desire to go hunting with Mike,” he said. “But I still don’t know how I feel about killing an animal.”

Weekend Box Office Box Office Mojo:

DETROIT — Expressing sympathy for the cause, Detroit City Council members approved a one-week extension to Occupy Detroit so protesters can clean up their camp at Grand Circus Park and move it to a building on the city’s southwest side.

Some council members likened the peaceful Occupy Detroit to the civil rights movement aimed at extending rights to disenfranchised black people.

“All of us sit here because some people fought, because some people occupied, because some people demonstrated,” Councilman Kwame Kenyatta said.

“They did it because it was the right thing to do.”

Saying the Occupy Detroit protesters have been peaceful and cooperative, Police Chief Ralph Godbee Jr. said he was not opposed to the one-week extension.

The group’s 30-day permit expired at 10 p.m. Monday.

Thanksgiving is still more than a week away, but it’s time to start getting excited about the best part of the dinner — the stuffing.

Some may think it’s all about the turkey, the mashed potatoes or even — God help you — the cranberries, but they are all just support players to the glue that holds the dinner together.

If Thanksgiving dinner is the mid-1990s era Houston Rockets, stuffing is surely Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon.

Stuffing is an amazing dish that is more than the sum of the bread, seasonings and meat-drippings that are its parts. Some may call it a side-dish; I call it starchy, meaty candy.

Local schools take Tuesday off for firearm opening day

Opening day dinner

Rural areas cancel classes for day

By Jordan Spence Senior Reporter

Maybee senior Mike Willer skins a Whitetail deer outside of his home Tuesday evening at the corner of South University Avenue and May Street. “I’m going to be taking a lot of this venison to my families for Thanksgiving,” Willer said. “Making steaks, chili and a lot of jerky.” Willer woke up at 6 a.m. on opening day Tuesday morning to hunt for a few hours before his class at 10 a.m.

Student deer hunters have limited options for storing weapons

By Orrin Shawl Staff Reporter

One crucial problem is faced by college-aged hunters — where should they store their rifles and bows?

The only place Central Michigan University students with rifles or any other type of weapons are allowed to keep these possessions is at the CMU Police Department.

Shaun Holtgreive, associate director of Residence Life, said all guns are to be checked into CMU Police.

“Students are not allowed to store any kind of guns in a residence hall room,” Holtgreive said. “The process is that students who want to be able to hunt will check their gun in and out of their storage facility.”

Holtgreive said students are also not allowed to store their dead deer anywhere on campus waiting to be processed.

“Obviously, we wouldn’t allow it because you need the space to have someone do that,” Holtgreive said.

“We’ve had issues where folks didn’t store their guns.

It happens every now and then.”

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said there is a signin procedure for students to store their weapons free of charge.

“We have an armory where we store our weapons,” Yeagley said. “We have a variety of weapons for our police department, and there’s a section of that armory that’s put aside for the weapons of anyone from the campus that wants to store them.”

CMU Police Captain Fred Harris said students have to fill out a one-page document, a weapons storage forum, as part of checking in their weapon.

“We give them a receipt, and they can come back and check it in and out when they take off to go hunting,” Harris said. “They can come back anytime they’d like to and check them out.”

“There’s a section of that armory that’s put aside for the weapons of anyone from the campus that wants to store them.”

Bill Yeagley, CMU Police Chief

Yeagley said the number of weapons stored each year on campus varies.

“It does increase during the hunting season,” he said. “We get about 15 or less a year.”

Arboretum Apartment Homes, 1825 Liberty Dr., states in its lease that there are no weapons allowed, said Manager Michael Henkel.

“You can’t register them (here),” Henkel said. “If anybody has them, we don’t

know about it.”

Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said the Mount Pleasant Police haven’t had any issues with weapons during hunting season.

“Obviously, we’ve asked people to follow good safety procedures,” Browne said.

“Treat every gun as if it’s loaded, and never point it at anything you’re not willing to destroy.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Local school children, teachers and administrators celebrated what some might call a “hick holiday” on Tuesday.

Tuesday was opening day of Michigan firearm deer hunting season.

Many schools in more rural areas across the state elect to cancel school on opening day because of poor attendance.

“Ultimately this began about 20 years ago,” said Mount Pleasant High School Assistant Principal Jeff Platte. “In order to have a school day count you need 75 percent of students in attendance. If there aren’t enough students in attendance, that means we have to add an extra day in June.”

Not only were schools noticing many kids not attending class on opening day, but teachers were also skipping out.

Platte said it is easier to overcome low numbers of teachers, but the district didn’t want to take the chance of low student attendance.

“It’s just not worth it to take the chance of only having 50 to 60 percent of students here,” Platte said.

Mount Pleasant resident Edwin Courser said he has been hunting around the area for the past 10 years.

He said he would have probably taken the day off if school was canceled years ago when he attended Mount Pleasant Public Schools.

By having the day off, it doesn’t risk students missing out on anything important, he said.

“You

“The best part was that it was a way to spend time with my dad and uncles,” Courser said. “It’s a way to be outside in the woods and wait until you finally see a deer.”

Courser said he shot a buck every year from the time he was 12 years old until he was 20 years old. He said the biggest buck was a 10-point the year after he graduated high school.

“One year, after I shot a buck, my dad came over to help me move it,” Courser said. “Then all of the sudden the deer got up and started dragging my dad through four to five rows of corn. It didn’t hurt him but the look on his face when it happened,

it was hilarious.”

The biggest lesson hunting has taught Courser is patience. His younger cousin Erica Lybeer agreed.

The 13-year-old Mount Pleasant resident said in the two years she has been hunting, she has shot a seven-point and a 10-point buck.

“I really like having the day off from school so I can be out in the wilderness and getting to watch the animals,” Lybeer said. “Last year I was in the blind looking at a smaller deer. I was with my Dad and when he turned around he saw a 10 point right in front of me.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Video Game Review

‘Modern Warfare 3’ good, wearing out its welcome

By Jordan LaPorte Staff Reporter

“Call of Duty” has been a very polarizing series for years and “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” will not be any different.

The campaign continues the story from the first two games. World War III has erupted, giving players ample opportunity once again to travel all over the world and watch things explode.

The campaign is good, but it feels like too much of the same. There isn’t anything fresh or unique enough to set it apart from what has already been done in the previous games.

The campaign’s gameplay is fun. The guns feel powerful and sound like they belong in an action film, and

the missions are entertaining, despite being even more linear than those in “Modern Warfare 2.”

The campaign is like a guided tour — players are supposed to sit back for about five hours and watch as the spectacle unfolds while shooting enemies along the way.

The insanely popular multiplayer is back and remains fundamentally unchanged.

There are still gun upgrades, prestige levels, emblems, killstreaks, deathstreaks and a plethora of modes to choose from.

Many of the changes to multiplayer are small. Notable changes include guns leveling up separately from the player, support and specialist-oriented killstreaks, and several new match types.

‘Modern Warfare 3’

HHHHH w System: X360, PS3, PC w Genre: First-Person Shooter w ESRB Rating: M for Mature Despite the modifications made to multiplayer, anyone who has put a decent amount of time into a “Call of Duty” game in the last four years will instantly feel comfortable.

The Spec Ops mode has made it back as well. The format is the same; different tiers of cooperative missions can be unlocked that get harder as they go. A new survival mode has also been

“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” (Screenshot courtesy of Activision)

added which pits players against waves of increasingly difficult enemies.

Spec Ops offers a fantastic alternative for players who don’t want to play competitive multiplayer. One could even argue that Spec Ops is the most fun part of the

entire package.

“Modern Warfare 3” is a well-made and fun game, but the formula is beginning to grow stale. Players who have enjoyed past iterations in the series will no doubt enjoy the newest title. Players who dislike the previous

games won’t find anything to change their minds.

For the few still on the fence — rent it first. Overall, the game is not worth $60 without an internet connection or friends to play with. studentlife@cm-life.com

English professors to debut new Phantogram’s ‘Nightlife’ inconsistent work Thursday in Park Library Album Review

By Jamie Favazza Staff Reporter

Phantogram’s new EP, “Nightlife,” stays true to the duo’s innate ability to intricately interlace many layers but is a bit all over the place.

New Yorkers Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel make up the electronic pop duo that released “Eyelid Movies,” their first full length, last year.

The six-song EP stays true to its title as many songs are dreamy with heavy echo and synths that paint a picture of driving in big cities, swanky New York clubs and the intimate moments at the end of the night.

However, the album is definitely confusing.

The first two songs, “16 Years” and “Don’t Move” are startling.

They are super upbeat and “16 Years” doesn’t ease the listener into the album or feel like an in-

tro tune. Though perhaps a bit misplaced, it’s still a good song and Barthel’s vocals are her own.

“Don’t Move” is fun electro with dizzying panning and many unique layers that are different than the norm, but actually come together harmoniously.

The album heads in a new direction in the third song, “Turning into Stone,” as a fuzzed-out bass accompanies Carter’s emotional, extremely handsome vocals. Its alarming, yet slow, intriguing vibe can be attributed to the overwhelming number of different elements mixing at the same time.

“Make a Fist” is the coolest tune on the album. It’s sexy, cool and wispy, and incorporates whispering layers of Barthel’s voice, along with her beautiful and breathy melodies.

Attention-grabbing builds and repetitions become darker, grittier and passionate — it is

‘nightlife’

HHHHH w Artist: Phantogram w Genre: Electronic Pop definitely an end-of-the-night song.

The rest of the album is composed of tunes that shift between being melancholic or fuzzy and dark. “Nightlife” is a little less electronically manipulated than the duo’s debut effort, which sounds nice here.

“Nightlife” is good for an EP, which is usually a collection of a group’s works-in-progress and latest ideas, but it lacks a strong connecting thread.

At any rate, their next LP has to be more cohesive than this EP which never really found itself. studentlife@cm-life.com

Jeffrey Bean said being able to share his writing publicly is his chance to give back to students.

Bean, an assistant professor of English language and literature, along with fellow creative writing professor Matt Roberson, will hold a reading from 8 to 9 p.m. on Thursday in Charles V. Park Library’s Baber Room to share their latest work.

“I look forward to it because it forces me to get (my) stuff up to snuff and debut new poems,” Bean said. “It’s also really fun to share my work with students because students show me their work in class and this is a chance to sort of repay the favor.”

Roberson said he will read

a short piece he wrote this semester and another piece he will decide on right before the reading.

“I made myself a promise not to read old stuff on these campus readings — I like to read new stuff I’ve been working on,” he said.

Roberson said the readings are a chance to actively participate in the creative writing community on campus.

“You go to these places and it’s fun and it’s interesting, but there’s something special about reading in your own community,” he said.

At the reading, refreshments will be provided and books will be for sale.

Bean said he plans to read between 12 and 15 poems, depending on their lengths.

“It will be almost all new work with probably one or

two oldies,” he said.

Bean said he usually does revisions right after the reading because poems can take different forms when read aloud to an audience.

Roberson said the readings give faculty the feeling they are participating in the community.

“Not only are they well-attended, they’re so well-attended it’s like a vote of confidence,” he said. “We get so much encouragement from the student support.”

Bean said he enjoys the camaraderie of reading with a fellow professor.

“Apart from being friends and co-workers with the other guys in the department, I’m also a huge fan of their writing and it gives me a chance to hear their new work,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Men’s basketball loses in overtime

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

A see-saw battle finally ended with Charlotte winning 77-75 over Central Michigan in double overtime Tuesday night at McGuirk Arena.

The 49ers were fighting off CMU comebacks all night. The Chippewas tied the game twice with under five seconds left, sending the game into overtime and double overtime.

Forward Zach Saylor hit a game-tying shot with the clock running out in the first overtime for his first two points of the game.

Trey Zeigler finished with a game-high 22 points and 11 rebounds, but was 4-of11 from the free-throw line.

He had a chance to win it in regulation, but only made 1 of 2 free throws with five seconds left.

As a team, CMU was 13of-25 from the free-throw line. CMU’s offense didn’t find its groove until the second half.
