Security improvements to launch in response to March 2 shooting

By Mitchell Kukulka Investigative Editor news@cm-life.com

Seven months after a shooting claimed two lives in Campbell Hall, Central Michigan University faculty and students will see substantial changes to campus security in October.

Among the resources that will be available to students and faculty is a new and improved website designed specifically to be a source of information during crisis events. The exact date in October when the website will be launched has not yet been determined.

Lt. Cameron Wassman said planning to rework campus security procedures began immediately after the March 2 shooting in Campbell Hall that resulted in the deaths of James Davis Sr. and Diva Jeneen Davis.

“Various university entities started getting feedback from departments across the university to look at not only reviewing how the university responds to these types of incidents, but what CMU is doing and what should it be doing in order to improve safety campus-wide,” Wassman said.

Several emergency management committees worked throughout the summer to designate five aspects of campus security that could be improved upon: • Communications • Access control • Emergency management process • Education and training • Emergency planning

LIFE IN BRIEF

Cody Scanlan | Photo Editor Police gather as they search for the Campbell Hall shooter on March 2 at Central Michigan University.

Wassman said the issue of communication during the shooting was one that the university got the most comments and complaints on, and was the area of security the most time was spent on improving. While the university did put out situational updates on March 2 in the form of Central Alert notifications and changing the cmich.edu homepage to be an emergency alert notice, many questioned whether the information was timely enough or detailed enough, Wassman said.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

ANNUAL HOMECOMING 5K RUN/WALK TO TAKE PLACE SATURDAY MORNING Central Michigan University has teamed up with Special Olympics Michigan (SOMI) to help raise awareness for athletes with disabilities by organizing the Homecoming 5K run/walk on Saturday.

The 5K is the opening activity on Homecoming Saturday and it has been for more than 30 years.

Registration begins at 6:30 a.m. and the run begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by the walk at 7:35 a.m. The race begins at Finch Fieldhouse and takes on a course that differs from last year, across the campus of CMU. The race is open to the public. Proceeds benefit more than 27,000 athletes at SOMI by providing funds for the organization.

Registration costs $25 and it can be filled out online at www.firstgiving.com/event/ cmu5k/2018/register.

Awards are given to the top finishers in the

following categories: male and female, male and female over the age of 40, current CMU student, alumni, the youngest runner and the most spirited CMU runner.

Mary Albaugh, a senior from Grand Rapids, is a Special Olympics Michigan Sports and Wellness intern as well as the president of the Special Olympics College, which is a registered student organization on campus.

Albaugh said this fundraiser gives students a chance to meet the athletes and realize how special SOMI truly is.

“They really prove that it doesn’t matter who you are or if you have a disability,” Albaugh said. “If you work hard and believe in yourself you can do anything you set your mind to.”

of information — even though it may be brief and not the full story — will come through Central Alert,” Wassman said. “From there, university members will be directed to a website similar to what (the university) tried to do on March 2, but better organized. It’s a much improved version.”

Once on the website, University Communications will provide updates on the situation as they come in — information that will also go out on the university’s social media channels.

“Access control” refers to the implementation of electronic access controls in residence halls and graduate housing have electronic locks on all exterior doors at a minimum, Wassman said.

In the future, the university will be looking for other places to potentially improve electronic security, including academic office areas and residence halls.

The Davis’ were shot and killed the morning of March 2 in the fourth floor of Campbell Hall.

Their son, James Eric Davis Jr., 19, was arrested after a 15-hour manhunt and accused of double homicide.

Davis Jr. was declared incompetent to stand trial on March 23 by Isabella County Chief Judge Paul H. Chamberlain, and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment through the State Department of Mental Health.

Since then Davis Jr.’s status has not changed, and at this time remains not competent to stand trial, said Mark Kowalczyk, the attorney currently representing Davis Jr. Under Michigan Law, a defendant found incompetent has 15 months to regain competency, though the deadline can be extended further if necessary.

Resolutions encourage student voting, pizza box composting

By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Student Government Association passed two pieces of legislation Monday evening.

Members voted in support of legislation to make it easier for students to go home to vote.

Drafted by the Campus Vote Coalition, the resolution encourages professors to avoid scheduling any big exams or presentations on Election Day and to excuse absences for students who miss class to vote.

“A Resolution to Support a Statement Encouraging Excused Absences for Students who are Voting and the Suspension of Exams, Presentations and Major In-Class Projects on Election Day” was passed by both the House and the Senate on Monday.

The resolution states some students may have class schedules on Election Day that make it difficult to find time to vote, which may deter them from voting altogether.

“Both as a house member and governmental affairs committee chair, I find this incredibly important,” said Berkley senior Ashlyn Conrad.

“It’s going to be great for students to have that backup, and professors will have a bit of an extra push to get students to be able to vote.”

Hunter McLaren | Staff Photographer Senate Leader Caroline Murray stands behind President Jake Hendricks while he discusses a resolution to allow students excused absences to vote at the Student Government Association meeting on Oct. 1 in the Bovee University Center.

While this legislation will not force professors to excuse their students on Election Day, it will encourage them to plan schedules so students won’t miss important exams while they travel home to vote.

“Because this (legislation) has support of both SGA and Academic Senate, we’re hoping it carries a bit of weight,” Conrad said.

Academic Senate voted in support of the Campus Vote Project Resolution on Sept. 11. “(The resolution) is sort of a compromise between students and faculty,” said SGA President Jake Hendricks. “Students want to vote, but faculty want to teach. Eventually we’d like to have voting day off for students, but we think this is a good compromise.”

SGA also voted in support of “A Resolution to Support a Pizza Box Composting System on Campus,” which encourages residence halls to install pizza box composting systems.

The resolution is sponsored by the Student Environment Alliance and Take Back the Tap. House Clerk Spencer Betts said this resolution could not only have an impact on campus, but on the greater Mount Pleasant community.

“If this goes through, I can see this as a potential for pizza companies in the community to be more sustainable,” he said. “Do we want to just change policies at Central, or can we make this more of a community policy?”

The resolution was authored by SGA Treasurer Chase Delor. He explained at the Sept. 24 Senate meeting that if it were passed, it would not drastically change the day-to-day for Facili-

ties Management.

Building Management staff would be assigned to check the composting bins three days a week, and funding would be fully absorbed by Facilities Management. The design would consist of wooden slats and hygienic lining.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS The tampons that were ordered for the Menstrual Hygiene Initiative arrived on Monday, Oct. 1, according to SGA Press Secretary Nick Latuszek. SGA Executive Board approved the purchase of $1,500 worth of tampons in September.

The operation began on Tueday, Oct. 2. Free tampons will be provided all semester in four women’s restrooms: one in the Bovee University Center, the Student Activities Center, Charles V. Park Library and the Student Government Association office on the first floor of the U.C. A student body town hall is scheduled for 7 p.m., Nov. 15 in the Park Library Auditorium, according to an SGA press release statement. This event will allow students to voice their concerns and ask any questions to a panel of SGA leaders.

Student unable to attend the town hall may submit questions online and watch the livestream on the CMU Student Government Association Facebook page.

What to know about ballot proposal to legalize marijuana

By Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

After years of collecting signatures and multiple setbacks, legalization recreational marijuana will be up to Michigan residents on Nov. 6.

Proposals 18-1, if passed, will allow residents to have up to 2.5 ounces of weed and 15 grams of concentrate. It also allows up to 12 plants and 10 ounces per household.

The proposition to legalize recreational marijuana made it onto the ballot after it received 252,523 petition signatures by May 30. To pass into law, the proposition needs to get majority vote on election day, Nov. 6, which would legalize the substance for residents 21 and over for recreational use.

“I am all for it, I don’t see any negatives to it,” said West Branch junior Dylan Colliera. “Most people who go to college have proved they are responsible enough to get here. It just makes a safety net for them so they won’t get in trouble.”

Those over 21 can also give weed to other residents over 21, however, it cannot be shipped or sold. Smoking lounges will also be allowed to open.

Like alcohol, people using marijuana are prohibited from operating vehicles while under the influence.

Actions prohibited include “consuming marijuana while operating, navigating, or being

STATE PROPOSAL 18-1 A proposed initiated law to authorize and legalize possession, use and cultivation of marijuana products by individuals who are at least 21 years of age and older, and commercial sales of marijuana through state-licensed retailers in physical control of any motor vehicle, aircraft, snowmobile, off-road recreational vehicle or motorboat, or smoking marijuana within the passenger area of a vehicle upon a public way,”

according to the bill.

Despite the possible legalization, employers would still be allowed to fire or refuse to hire those who test positive for marijuana. Landlords could also prohibit renters from smoking marijuana on their property. Proponents of the bill speculate that smokeless marijuana, such as edibles, could still be consumed.

Smoking marijuana would still be banned in public places, including parks and public universities like Central Michigan University.

“CMU does not allow students to possess marijuana under any circumstance, regardless of medicinal status in the state of Michigan,” the Office of Student Conduct’s website states.

“Recreational already happens a lot, finding a way to make that safer would probably benefit campus,” said Livonia junior Scott Cole.

People who would want to sell marijuana would need to register to do so in one of two ways.

Commercial growers must obtain licenses in one of three categories: class A, B and C allow 100 plants, 500 plants and 2000 plants respectively.

Residents could also apply for a marijuana microbusiness license, allowing them to grow 150 plants.

Marijuana sales would face a 10 percent tax on top of the 6 percent state sales tax.

The revenue from the tax would be split several ways. 35 percent of revenue would go to K-12 education, 35 percent to roads, 15 percent

to communities that allow marijuana and 15 percent to counties where the marijuana business was located.

Proponents of the proposal include the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the organization responsible for collecting signatures to get the proposal on the ballot.

“The initiative proposes a sensible alternative to Michigan’s failed policy of marijuana prohibition. It positions Michigan as a national leader in the adoption of smart adultuse marijuana laws by allowing adults 21 and older to possess and grow certain amounts of marijuana,” its website states.

Healthy and Productive Michigan, an organization formed last November, is led by Scott Greenlee, who has worked for Michigan Republicans in the past.

The Michigan Chamber of Commerce, a business advocacy group and the Committee to Keep Pot Out of Neighborhoods and Schools oppose the proposal.

The Committee to Keep Pot Out of Neighborhoods and Schools is a political action committee formed to oppose legalization efforts.

Healthy and Productive Michigan insists the bill would have unforeseen consequences if it passes and does not regulate marijuana use enough.

“I think a lot of people would go to class stoned,” said Allendale sophomore Nic Dewey.

“I don’t smoke at all, I never have and I don’t think I will ever pick it up.”

Administrators benefit from the Chippewa Champions Alumni Center, what about the rest of the students?

C

onstruction and funding for the $32.5 million Chippewa Champion Alumni Center was approved by the Board of Trustees during its Sept. 27 fall meeting.

The Chippewa Champion Alumni Center will serve as a new and improved training center for about 500 student athletes and home to the Athletics Department. A new weight and training room, sports medicine complex, nutrition and a rehabilitation center will be completely dedicated to student athletes.

The building also will serve as a “welcome center” for recruiting new students and welcoming back Central Michigan University alumni. It will be the new home of Advancement and Alumni Relations.

Roughly one-third of the building will house the Alumni Center and office spaces, while the rest of the building will be dedicated to the CMU student athletes. Funding will come from the university’s construction dollars to get the project started, though it will ultimately be paid for through donations, dollars from Advancement and football game guarantees.

Football fans will certainly be happy that part of the project also includes a $1.5 million scoreboard on the south side of the field. In the stadium there will be a new rooftop premium hospitality seating areas, boxes and seating. In fact, the football team likely benefits the most. The football team’s current locker room, which was built decades ago, was designed for 70 players — there are 110 players on the fall 2018 roster.

When it comes time to recruit new football players, or any new student athletes, this impressive center will serve as a great incentive to choose being a Chippewa Champion.

CMU football coach John Bonamego said, “We demand a lot from our student-athletes on and off the field. We owe them state-of-the-art facilities that are on par with the tremendous facilities we have on campus, such as the Biosciences Building and the Engineering and Technology Building.”

Sounds great, right? We can see the benefits of this project.

Still, it’s a little difficult to get excited about a new building that most of us will spend very little time in.

Academic buildings such as Anspach, Moore and Pearce halls are the places students spend time in. We’d like to point out that those were built more than 40 years ago, and could all use some attention.

There are discussions about renovating Pearce Hall, as evidenced in the university’s 2017 Master Plan. What about the other buildings? The thousands of students who walk through those halls everyday also deserve the best.

We understand certain students, such as medical and graduate students, pay a lot more in tuition to go here. It, sort of, makes sense that their buildings might get priority when it comes to renovation. But when will the average undergraduate see more resources within their buildings and classrooms?

We hope the university will prioritize its next building and renovation projects based on academic benefits and how many students will be affected.

There’s no arguing that this $32.5 million project will do big things for athletics, advancement and recruitment.

What about the rest of us?

Every CMU student should be directly benefitting more from the dollars being raised to fund these projects and from updates and improvements made by the university.

Proposal 2 plan puts the power back in the hands of voters Voters select politicians to represent them.

We’re taught this in high school government classes because it’s the bedrock of our representative democracy.

But what about when politicians get to choose their voters? Then you have Michigan politics.

Our elected officials are ineffective and inattentive. They pass laws voters don’t want. They cast votes that don’t matter. And thanks to redistricting our state politicians have become basically unaccountable to citizens.

In 2010, Republicans swept Michigan’s state House, Senate and gubernatorial races. This put them in a position to completely redraw Michigan’s voting districts.

And they did.

In 2011, Republicans controlled the state legislature and the governor’s office. This gave them the power to gerrymander every district in Michigan to benefit GOP candidates, while packing and splitting Democratic voters into a few districts to diminish their voting power.

They couldn’t do it alone.

Throughout the redistricting process, Republican strategists, lawyers and lawmakers frequently consulted the Michigan Redistricting Resource Institute.

Elio Stante Columnist

MRRI, a non-profit which presents itself as “nonpartisan” and committed to all Michigan voters, was chaired, steered and paid for by executive members of Michigan’s Chamber of Commerce.

In 2011, private GOP consultants were paid $1 million by MRRI to draw political districts favoring Republicans. MRRI admitted in court and in documents uncovered in a lawsuit that it paid for 2,500 hours of legal consultation and mapmaking on behalf of Michigan Republicans.

The maps MRRI drew in private were voted on and approved in 12 days.

One of CMU’s Board of Trustees, Richard Studley has been the CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce since 2008.

Studley is an opponent of redistricting reform.

He refuses to confirm or deny if the Michigan Chamber of Commerce directly gave funds to MRRI.

The political district maps of Michigan are horribly slanted to favor Republicans.

If you don’t that believe, look at the 2014 election results. That year, Republicans won 48.85 percent to Democrats 51.15 percent of the vote.

Logic would say Democrats would win more seats, but Republicans continued to hold their majority.

They even won 4 additional seats.

How about 2016 when Republicans won 49.2 percent and Democrats won 49.1 percent of the vote.

Republicans won 63 state House seats and Democrats won 47.

That’s the result of extreme gerrymandering.

This put Republicans in a position to constantly hold their majority, without a fear of being voted out of office for going against voters’ wishes or passing unpopular legislation.

A 2012 voter referendum stripped emergency managers of some of their powers. Republicans then turned around and passed a revised version of the law essentially undoing what voters approved.

In 2012, a lame duck session passed the “Right to Work” law, which allows workers to opt out of paying their union dues. Lawmakers did this behind closed doors, with no

input from voters, despite the vast unpopularity of the bill.

In 2015, they crippled voter medical marijuana ballot initiatives.

It doesn’t have to keep being this way.

On Nov. 6 we get a chance to fix this.

Michigan’s ballot will have a proposal to amend the state constitution to prevent gerrymandering. The proposal establishes an Independent Citizen’s Redistricting Commission to redraw the state’s voting districts. The commission will be made up of 13 members – four Democrats, four Republicans and five independent members. It also sets aside funding for hiring staff and consultants.

This won’t be some secret commission with no public accountability.

The commission will be required to have a minimum of 15 public hearings throughout the redistricting process to assure transparency and seek public input.

This proposal takes the power of redistricting out of the hands of politicians – neither Republicans or Democrats will be able to use an unfair advantage.

This commission gives us back the power in out vote.

We’ll get to choose our representatives.

We’ll get will our democracy back.

Kavanaugh hearings: Why I stand with Christine Blasey Ford I am an American male, I stand with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, and I am not the only one.

An advertisement recently published in The New York Times displayed the names of 1,600 men who also show their support for the victim of violent sexual assault at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

The style and format resemble the 1991 advertisement in support of Anita Hill, who had a similar sexual assault case against Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas. The advertisement displayed the names of 1,600 African American women who all believed Hill’s statements.

Despite the allegations, and credible evidence, Thomas was sworn in. Thomas continues to serve today.

History must not be allowed to repeat itself.

On Sept. 27, Ford and Kavanaugh appeared before U.S. Senators for a formal hearing.

Dr. Ford was first with her opening statement. She described the events

Michael Livingston Staff reporter

that occurred the night of 1982 in graphic detail then proceeded to explain how the experience has continued to affect her adult life.

Ford brought forth the allegations, knowing the impact it would have on her personal life. “My family and I have been the target of constant harassment and death threats. I have been called the most vile and hateful names imaginable,” she said.

Those who would doubt Dr. Ford’s honesty do not consider this simple fact — coming forward with her story has taken an enormous toll on her life.

What reason would Ford have to lie to the senate and to the American public?

To gain some political advantage? To

satisfy some personal vendetta?

To lie for these motives and risk the safety of her friends and loved ones as well as tarnish her name by recalling traumatic and despicable events would be completely absurd and nonsensical.

A Pursuit of Justice defines the qualities of a supreme court nominee: “a justice should exhibit proper judicial temperament, ethics, courage, and integrity,” something judge Kavanaugh failed to demonstrate during his testimony.

Dr. Ford performed her civic duties at last Thursday’s hearing by detailing the events of the summer of 1982. By doing so, she reinforces the key characteristics of a Supreme Court Justice. Kavanaugh fails to display these qualities.

First, he let anger fuel his voice in an emotionally-charged opening statement. Kavanaugh viciously denied the allegations claiming, “This confirmation process has become a national disgrace.

The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced advice and consent with search and destroy.”

Later, Kavanaugh lashed out at Sen. Dick Durban for recommending suspending the hearing until the FBI investigation has reached a conclusion.

“Judge, if there is no truth to her charges, the FBI investigation will show that. Are you afraid that they might not?”

Durban asked.

“The FBI does not reach conclusions.

You know that’s a phony question because the FBI doesn’t reach conclusions,” Kavanaugh said.

Despite the clear holes in Kavanaugh’s argument, Republican Senators, such as Lindsey Graham, stood in Kavanaugh’s corner. Graham called the event the “most despicable” thing he has witnessed in his time in politics.

I believe Ford was sexually assaulted

by Kavanaugh in high school.

I believe the “uproarious laughter” of Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge still haunts her to this day.

I believe no one who performs this type of violence on their fellow human being has a place on the most esteemed court of justice in the United States.

Male mentoring program sparks responsibility, leadership

By Rob Linsley Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

During Berrien Springs sophomore Simba Machamire’s first semester at Central Michigan University, he found himself engaged in the same self-destructive behavior many students fall prey to.

Away from his parents, Machamire was finally free to do what he wanted — free to be lazy or party too hard or play video games all night.

Then, his academics started slipping through the cracks. Still, Machamire didn’t see the connection between his actions and his falling grades.

That was before he joined Men About Change (MAC), a mentoring program for young men started by Multicultural Academic Student Services in 2007.

MAC meetings, held at 5 p.m. every Wednesday in Kulhavi 146, cover a wide variety of issues, from financial responsibility to toxic masculinity.

Current facilitator Cyrus Stewart, a graduate student from Seattle, leads the room of 55-60 men each week, but the program is grounded in group discussion and the idea that peers have the ability to use their own experiences to help each

other learn and grow.

Sometimes, that growth can come from realizing a harsh reality, like it did with Machamire when former MAC facilitator D’Wayne Jenkins helped him realize why he was struggling academically.

“He said, ‘Everyone has the same amount of time in a week — 168 hours. What you do with that time shows what you find important

FALL IN LOVE

in your life,’” Machamire said. “It sparked something in my head.”

The change in Machamire couldn’t be clearer.

His grades are back up and he’s even become a residential assistant in Fabiano.

It’s not just members who benefit from the program, however. Stewart has seen himself grow as facilitator and improve his leadership skills, as well.

“I’ve learned the true power of mentorship and accountability,” Stewart said. “I’ve learned the importance of consistency in leadership and integrity in leadership.”

Although Stewart is only in Kulhavi 146 once a week, he knows MAC members could see him slip at any time — and he said credibility can be lost in a quarter of the time it takes to build.

“I have to make sure I am always encompassing the person I want them to be every time they see me,” Stewart said. “I can’t let them see me doing things I don’t want them to do. I can’t let them see me folding in times of challenge.”

MAC members have a word that helps bolster them when they find themselves amidst life’s challenges: “brotherhood.”

For Flint freshman Calvin Price, the brotherhood helps create a space where he can be around people who share his skin color and know what it’s like being a black man in America.

WHERE YOU LIVE

“(My favorite part is) the bond of men who look like myself,” Price said.

While MAC is organized by Multicultural Academic Student Services and is heavily comprised of black students, members emphasize it is a welcoming space for any man seeking to improve himself.

“It’s not a race thing,” Price said. “It’s a human thing.”

Ultimately, Price said the organization is about building up male leaders for the future. That’s precisely why “change” is in the name.

“The ‘change’ (in the name says) we are trying to change the culture of CMU’s campus and change the narrative for our males,” Stewart said.

While women on campus are doing an “impeccable” job as leaders, male students are not filling up e-boards or pursuing leadership the way female students are, he said.

“We need to step up as men,” Stewart said.

For now, Machamire is continuing to do his part to exemplify the responsibility and leadership skills he’s learned in MAC. “Every time I walk out of that room, I just feel fired up to be great,” Machamire said. “Man, I just walk out of there with fire in my heart, fire in my chest, fire in my brain. (Stewart and I) had a conversation about success, and he said I can succeed — so I’m gonna do it.’”

MOUNT PLEASANT MIXTAPE

Musicians make the most of small-town resources

By Quinn Kirby Features Editor news@cm-life.com

A

lthough Mount Pleasant lacks glamorous music venues like the DTE Energy Music Theater near Detroit and the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, that doesn’t stop the community from supporting local music artists.

Local indie bands like Crystal Images and Pineapple Psychology play at Centennial Hall, while DJs and rappers like DJ Dill Pickle and Cassius Tae perform at the Wayside Central.

The Mount Pleasant community doesn’t just rally around rappers, folk artists and mix masters, however. The firstever Pleasant Town Music and Art Festival Sept. 29 invited artists of various genres to perform at the event. It featured “psychedelic bass” group Spaceship Earth, Electric Dance Music performer Ascentient and rock band the Red Wires.

The same group that organized Pleasant Town also created Centennial Nights in Fall 2017. The once-a-month event includes jam bands and electronic dance music in two separate rooms within Centennial Hall. Local artisans also showcase and sell their work at the event.

Still, after microphones are disconnected from speakers and soundboards are unplugged from power sources, the community comes out to support local artists, whether their creations are country music or growl-heavy hardcore.

Some genres appear in venues again and again— hiphop, indie and electronic — but not all performance spaces are official.

CLOSE TO HOME Whitehall graduate student James Champion finds joy in helping musicians begin their success story by giving Michigan-based bands a non-intimidating place to perform: his house.

House shows, also called house concerts, are not to be mistaken for house parties, though they do take place in

an individual’s personal residency. Homes, apartments, or garages that function as unofficial venues gain notoriety through word-of-mouth. Tickets and cover charges are normally absent from house show performances, but many have a suggested donation to aid in compensating performers for their time and travel expenses.

Champion’s home, nicknamed “The 906,” can host anywhere from three to five completely different music artists on any given performance night. The unofficial venue featured trance, rap, hardcore and black metal genres at its latest show Sept. 28.

Champion said The 906 hosted shows before he and his roommates moved in this year, but it had been awhile since anyone had performed and he was excited to restore the house to a venue. However, the house still functions as a home.

“This is my house. I live here, I have valuables here, but I’m inviting strangers here,” Champion said.

Spring Lake junior Emma Leech is friends with members of local indie band Pining, a band that is no stranger to house shows. She said she shares her friends’ events on Facebook, suggest their music via word-of-mouth and hypes them up at performances.

“I go out of my way to support them in any way I can because I love the sound they put out,” Leech said. “I want the world to know how talented they are.”

Champion understands what up-and-coming bands experience when trying to find venues that will host them, as he’s a band member of Dutch Lily, a band he said creates “homemade pop singalongs.” He said being able to provide a smaller space for music artists that may not be used to or intimidated by larger venues is one of the reasons he decided to start hosting.

Signs in the house ask concert-goers to smoke outside and firmly state there is a no-tolerance policy for drugs or alcohol

consumption by anyone under the legal age. A table blocks the staircase leading up to the housemates’ bedrooms.

Although these self-imposed regulations are scattered on posters throughout the home’s interior, Champion said he doesn’t want the strangers who come to his house for shows to feel like strangers and adds hearts and other doodles to the requests.

“I feel like a lot of great things happen at a house show that won’t happen at a bar or at an official venue,” he said.

“The people feel a little less like the band they’re watching is some superhuman, famous, unapproachable, sort of alien that is creating this art.”

RHYTHM AND BLUES New Haven senior Taraj Livesay hasn’t had the chance to appear superhuman onstage yet, but that will change when he performs at Wayside Central Nov. 17.

Livesay said he hasn’t performed his music -- which he said varies from hip-hop, to R&B, to rock -- in front of more than 100 people and he expects his performance at Wayside Central will break his record.

“My friends and my family always show (my music) to people,” Livesay said. “So there have been people I’ve never met who are blowing up my social media about my music, like ‘So-and-so put me on — when are you dropping more music?’”

Livesay said he works slowly at his craft because he enjoys the process. He creates music for himself at his own pace, so when people started demanding more of it, he was flattered —and worried.

“It’s a really nice feeling,” Livesay said. Then, smiling, he said, “It’s also kinda scary.”

Livesay said his performance at the Wayside will involve a new project he’s starting to work on. It’ll be a challenge because none of the music he creates sounds the same.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | OCT. 4, 2018 “I try to make it different on purpose,” he said. “But when you try to make a project, you can’t just make every song sound entirely new because you’re going to confuse an audience, so it’ll be a minute before I (begin creating) anything.”

Mount Clemens senior Dontae Sumpter has lived with Livesay since their freshman year and has watched his friend grow in his craft. Sumpter said his support for Livesay comes in the form of being a sounding board for the artist’s ideas.

“I let him bounce ideas off of me and offer positive criticism on how he could improve on certain things here and there,” Sumpter said. “He’s got a really great sound and I’m sure that there’s a track of his out there for everyone.”

Although Livesay has experienced a deluge of support from his family and friends, he said others in the musicmaking community don’t have that same backing. He said students and people in the Mount Pleasant community need to have faith in and support their friends who they know create music.

“Say, they have a friend who raps or makes music. Instead of doubting them before hearing anything or ignoring events (where they’re performing), go and see them,” Livesay said. “You know, if one day you want to see a concert, go to where you know students are performing.”

MIXING MUSIC Electronic music has gained popularity in the past decade and is becoming more prolific with college students.

DJs, once confined to clubs, are now regularly performing at house parties and tailgates.

Battle Creek senior Peter Brady — also known by his stage name, DJ Pedro Peso — shares Livesay’s sentiment on the local music community. He said he knows he won’t play to the musical needs of every concert-goer in the room, but he hopes there will soon be a culture shift where anyone is able to let loose and enjoy a set.

“As a DJ, there’s a lot of pressure,” Brady said. “It’s hard to understand the amount of time and practice it takes.

People who play music are the same way. (DJing is) not necessarily an instrument, but it takes skill.”

Saginaw junior Evan Jordan said he’s attended the shows of his friends who DJ at the Wayside Central, house shows and Encore, the Nightclub. He said his support for friends who create music comes in the form of purchasing their projects.

“Overall I think creating music is a great thing and the idea of students using what little free time they have to create something is awesome,” he said. “I do my best to get the word out through word out via word of mouth and inviting my (other) friends to shows.”

Brady said the DJ community in Mount Pleasant is strong, but hard to break into. He showed interest in mixing in high school, but really began his career as a DJ his freshman year in Barnes Hall, mixing and producing out of a setup consisting of a sound board Brady attached to two small Bose speakers and a 20-year-old subwoofer he placed inside a dresser drawer.

“Starting as a freshman, it was hard,” he said. “You see a lot of DJs already playing at the club. They’re doing all these things. Eventually, you stick with it, you get that first shot, it’s worth it.”

Brady’s first shot came when he was invited to play at Moore Media Records’ Droptober event in 2016. Since then, Brady has played at the Wayside Central, house parties, bars and various music festivals, including the Breakaway music festival in Grand Rapids.

Regarding his perspective on success, Brady said he doesn’t know if he’ll ever feel fulfilled with the scope of his reach as a performer.

“Success to me is if you have the ability to be a kind and caring person and also make people happy with what you’re doing. Especially if you love what you’re doing,” he said. “That, to me, is being successful. If you’re making the world a better place and enjoying every moment of it.”

On-campus students react to growing use of key card readers

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

Some Central Michigan University students say they are annoyed by the growing use of Central Card readers on residential hall doors.

The installation of key card readers in residence halls began in Summer 2017 in the Towers resident hall complex and graduate student housing. CMU implemented the multi-year plan as a collaborative effort among the CMU Police Department, Residence Life, Facilities Management and the Office of Information Technology.

Crews completed the last of three phases of safety and security updates to campus buildings and

r sophomore Megan edman said she often as the inconvenience f fumbling through her pockets or backpack to find her keys as she approaches a key card reader.

If a student opens exterior residential hall doors after 10 p.m., a sharp, highpitched alarm will ound.

Okemos sophomore dra Francis said a

lot of returning students living in the South Campus residence halls have triggered the alarm since they are not accustomed to the system. Those who open exterior doors and continue to exit are recorded for later instruction.

There is not a set protocol for how to deal with students who trip the alarm. Residence hall desk receptionists — deskies — are supposed to record the violators, but it occurs so often that the residence assistants and residence hall directors do not have the time to deal with it, Dexter sophomore Christopher Eakin said.

“So many students are frustrated,” Francis said. “It is really hard for returning students to get use to the new system, but freshman haven’t had a problem with it.”

The Thorpe Hall resident assistant said the only thing that the card readers have changed is students must exit the residential halls through the front doors rather than the side exterior doors.

“They should go back to how it was during the day when the outside doors were unlocked,” Eakin said. “The key card readers aren’t keeping students any safer.

People will just wait outside the door for student with access to the residence hall to enter.”

While most students who are asked about their feelings regarding the card readers find the growing use to be “annoying” or “inconvenient,” most students understand the university’s intent, which is to “enhance campus safety,” according to University Communications.

The North Campus residential halls will be the next buildings on CMU’s campus to undergo the change.

Student organization works to bring awareness to prison reform

By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Some people view prisons inmates as scary, perhaps even dangerous. But a group of Central Michigan University students want to change that perception.

Student Advocates for Prison Reform and the Incarcerated (SAPRI) is a student organization founded in Fall 2017 by four students — Roseville junior Morgan Barbret, Farmington Hills junior Sydney Harless, Grand Rapids junior Megan Lawrence and alumna Amy Howell.

Its focus is to bring awareness to issues relating to criminal justice reform by organizing events on campus.

They were inspired to create SAPRI after taking a course through the honors program called “service behind bars.” Through the class, they went to the Saginaw Correctional Facility, and worked with prisoners who had been given life sentences. Lawrence said that class gave them passion and knowledge about this issue.

“Before I took that course, I didn’t know anything about incarceration, or prison reform,” Lawrence said. “After working with those individuals at the correctional facility, I developed a passion for helping the CMU community on what prison reform is, and how it effects everyone in our country.”

SAPRI has hosted a faculty panel, and a documentary showing last school year, Barbret said. Lawrence said the group brought in the director of the Prison Creative Arts Project (PCAP), Ashley Lucas, to campus. PCAP is a program at

CMU VS. BUFFALO

the University of Michigan that allows the campus community to collaborate with inmates to create art.

Lucas performed a one woman play, “Doin’ Time: Through the Looking Glass” last semester. The play talked about the affects incarceration has on families.

SAPRI also partners with Beyond These Walls, a pen-pal program that connects people to inmates that are a part of the LGBTQ community.

The program is open to anyone to participate in, and Harless considers the partnership with the program a big success.

“It gives another side to the advocacy,” Harless said. “You get to know someone on a more personal level.”

Harless and Lawrence also said current and former members have developed friendships through the program.

Another success for SAPRI was the turnout and participation from general members. Lawrence said their general

TAILGATE

meetings have anywhere from 15 to 40 people, with their first meeting this year bringing in 50 members.

Barbret said the executive board and the general members meet every other week, where the board will discuss sub topics related to criminal justice.

She said these include private prisons, capital punishment, the War on Drugs and solitary confinement. This is done to help the general members and E-board be more informed about the larger issue of prison reform.

“That’s a key focus of ours,” Lawrence said. “To make sure that our membership heavily understands the issue and can discuss the issue with other people.”

In continuation with keeping their members and CMU’s campus informed, SAPRI is already planning more events. Barbret would like to have another documentary showing and would like to organize an incarceration simulation as well.

Lawrence also said they are discussing with the Saginaw Correctional Facility about the possibility of having their members consistently volunteer with inmates.

But most importantly, they want to breakdown the negative stereotypes of inmates by humanizing them and bringing awareness to the issues relating to prison reform.

“Part of the problem with incarcerating so many people behind bars is that we often forget about them, and forget the fact that they are human,” Barbret said. “That’s one of SAPRI’s biggest goals is to re-humanize the incarnated population.”

EVENT SERIES THE LAUNCH PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ LIFE SKILLS

Sara Murray

Students will have a chance to improve their life skills with a series of events grouped under the name, The Launch Project.

The project is a collection of onehour events intended to help students develop skills, like stress management, communication, and decision making. Each event will take place in Kulhavi Residence Hall, room 142, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.

The project was organized by the Care Advocates, the mental-health professionals from Office of Residence Life. Whitney Brooks-Huntoon, one of the Care Advocates, said she hopes students will grow by learning new skills.

“Students will learn more about the topic, (and) have an opportunity to discuss some areas they noticed they need work on,” Brooks-Huntoon said. “Then (they can) be provided with various strategies to strengthen their ability to handle those concerns.”

There will be six different events with each of them happening twice within a week.

The events schedule is:

• Oct. 9, 10 Text and Tinder: Communication & relationships.

Practice assertive dialogue and learn ways to strengthen relationships by communicating more effectively.

CRAFT A SCARY-AMAZING

BY ADDING CREDITS FROM

English true freshman gets significant play time with Chippewa field hockey

By Austin Chastain Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Imogen West is a true freshman midfielder on the Central Michigan field hockey team who has made an appearance in each game the Chippewas have played.

It’s not very often that a true freshman gets that much playing time, but West is different.

She has tallied one goal and one assist though 13 games into the season. The Chippewas sit at 1-12 on the year. Their most recent game was a 5-0 defeat against the Miami Redhawks on Sept. 28.

West’s recruitment process was different of what most of her teammates experienced. The Wilshire, England resident attended Dauntsey’s School where she was a three time letter winner and helped her squad to the 2015 county championship.

“I was quite late to find

out I could play field hockey over here,” West said. “It wasn’t too difficult of a process. We did a few Skype interviews and really liked (head coach Catherine Ostoich).”

West knows her role on the team and embraces her opportunity to play and study in the United States.

“I prepared myself for not getting much pitch time,” West said. “I’m a freshman and I shouldn’t expect anything, you have to work hard for something if you want it.

I’m really grateful and happy that I’ve managed to get as much pitch time as I have.”

International recruiting is different than what American players experience. The players put their names into a service and the service reaches out to the coaches and show them video of the players in question.

Most international players acquaint themselves with coaches over video chatting services, then have their first look at campus when they

join the team and move to Michigan. One of Ostoich’s teammates at the University of Richmond brought West and Ostoich together.

“I watched Immy’s video and really liked it,” Ostoich said. “We had our first Skype conversation and it just went really well. I liked everything that she was about.”

Ostoich was hired on as head coach in December 2017. She signed West on April 18 for her personality off the field and her capabilities on the field.

“She’s got great endurance and she’s fast,” Ostoich said.

“She knows how to draw a foul and that’s awesome and something we’ve been stressing with the team. She also makes things happen in the circle.”

West also spent time on the 2017 Malaysian Hockey Tour, where she was top goal scorer and also was a two-time letter earner in the sport of netball, a hybrid of basketball, soccer and hockey.

Football ready for tenacious MAC opponent Buffalo

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

Of the 12 teams in the Mid-American Conference, Buffalo is ranked No. 5 in total offense.

Meanwhile, the Central Michigan football team is just one spot from the bottom.

Buffalo also has the MAC sack leader in defensive end Chuck Harris, going hand-inhand with linebacker LeDarius Mack, brother of NFL star Khalil Mack.

The Chippewas (1-4) are in dire need of a conference win, and head coach John Bonamego looks at the game against the Bulls (4-1) at noon on Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium as an opportunity to put CMU on the map.

“When you lose, you die a little bit inside.

When you win, you’re reborn,” Bonamego said. “It’s early in the season, and there’s a lot of football to be played. We have to start playing better now.”

Bonamego said the Chippewas have shown him a consistent improvement since Week 1.

Coming off a 31-20 loss to Michigan State a week ago, the fourth-year coach believes CMU is closer than ever to emerging.

With a fully healthy offensive line and a solid quarterback in junior Tommy Lazzaro, the run game remains in question.

For the fourth-straight week, during the designated media availability time, star running back Jonathan Ward declined an interview with Central Michigan Life.

At 6-foot, 202 pounds, Ward has yet to find the end zone as a running back or receiver. He has 60 carries for 182 yards through five games, an average of just three yards per carry.

Bonamego believes Ward is just one play away from a stellar performance, but he noted the entire offense must execute.

“Jonathan Ward is only one man,” Bonamego explained. “It’s going to take some other people around him to make plays. That’s started to happen with Julian Hicks, JaCorey Sullivan and Brandon Childress.”

Lazzaro, under center for the Chippewas, went as far to say Ward will have a breakout performance this weekend.

“Ward is going to have a great game,” Lazzaro said. “I think there’s a lot of things we have to open things up for him.”

In CMU’s loss to the Spartans, Lazzaro was 19-of-39 for 153 yards, one touchdown and two

KICKOFF

12 p.m. @Kelly/Shorts Stadium vs. Buffalo interceptions. He added 11 carries for 32 yards.

The junior took responsibility for the mistakes and hopes to turn his play around to start a streak of seven-straight conference games.

Buffalo held Delaware State to 10 points on Sept. 1 and Rutgers to 12 points on Sept. 22. Besides those two games, the Bulls have allowed an average of 33 points.

Despite struggles against Temple, Eastern Michigan and Rutgers, Lazzaro is not taking the Buffalo lightly due to its impressive 4-1 record.

“They are a great defense and have physicality,” Lazzaro said. “It’s going to be a test for us.”

Buffalo’s playmakers on offense are near the top of the MAC. Junior quarterback Tyree Jackson is 88-of-150 through the air for 1204 yards, 16 touchdowns and three interceptions. However, he is one dimensional, only running the ball twice.

The run game is led by freshmen Kevin Marks and Jaret Patterson. The duo have combined for 477 yards and nine scores.

Senior Anthony Johnson, junior K.J. Osborn and freshman Charlie Jones – three wide receivers – are Buffalo’s greatest offensive strength. Johnson is listed as day-to-day, but he is expected to at least get some time against the Chippewas.

Defensive backs coach Cory Hall is preparing his secondary – cornerbacks Sean Bunting and Xavier Crawford and safeties Alonzo McCoy and Devonni Reed – for all the Bulls are going to bring to the table.

Hall said the game plan is for the Chippewas to play their game and make plays. Then, it is up to the offense.

“Sean, Xavier and Devonni are going to compete,” Hall said. “They are scouting us like we are scouting them. Nothing is going to change. We will play up, as we should every Saturday.”

Losing 24-16 against MAC opponent Northern Illinois in Week 3, Bonamego’s group is ready to make their mark before it’s too late.

“Our margin of error is running short,” Bonamego said. “Everything is in front of us.”

Bunting reflects on first interception of 2018 season

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

Sean Bunting defended Michigan State wide receiver Felton Davis III with outside leverage near the eight-yard line.

Davis was forced outside but eventually leaned back in. Bunting allowed him to do so.

As quarterback Brian Lewerke released the football into the end zone, Bunting slipped inside Davis and secured the ball for his first interception of the 2018 season on Sept. 29 at Spartan Stadium.

From Nov. 1 to Nov. 24 last season, the 6-foot-1, 181-pound now-junior registered five interceptions over the course of four weeks – including at least one each game from Week 9 to Week 12.

This time around, opposing quarterbacks aren’t

throwing toward Bunting as much. When they do, he is ready.

“Eventually, they have to come my way because they won’t have it against our other guys,” Bunting said.

Emerging as a star in the secondary for the Central Michigan football team in 2017, Bunting often reminds himself not to get discouraged. He is the first to explain that interception numbers are deceiving for a cornerback.

Jacksonville Jaguars player Jalen Ramsey, the NFL’s top shutdown cornerback, has to make an interception through four games.

Fourth-year CMU head coach John Bonamego, 55, spent time in the NFL from 1999 to 2014. He worked as a special teams coordinator with five different teams, but Bonamego is well aware of hoodwinking statistics for a

“He hasn’t given up many plays,” Bonamego said.

“He’s not getting a lot of looks, so that’s a compliment to his play.”

Other names Bunting attributes to his success graduated after last season – Amari Coleman, Josh Cox and Darwyn Kelly. Another is junior cornerback Xavier Crawford, who lines up on the opposite side of Bunting for each play on Saturday.

Crawford started all 12 games in 2016 for Oregon State, making 70 tackles, two tackles for a loss, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble and 10 passes defended.

After a season-ending back injury held him to five games in 2017, the 6-foot-1 defensive back graduated early and left for CMU with Hall.

Crawford is happy to be in Mount Pleasant playing under Hall once again, but Bunting was ecstatic when talking about the tactics Crawford has shared with him – on and off the field.

“He’s taught me to stay level-headed and always stay

humble,” Bunting said of Crawford. “He’s taught me not to get too high on myself because it’ll all fall down.

He said if I want to go to the next level, I have to start acting like it now.”

CMU’s upcoming opponent is yet another tough challenge on the horizon for Bunting and Crawford. The duo will have to lock down a trio of top Mid-American Conference wide receivers – senior Anthony Johnson, junior K.J. Osborn and freshman Charlie Jones.

Quarterback Tyree Jackson has flashed passes to Johnson, Osborn and Jones for a total of 937 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

Hall isn’t worried – he has Bunting and Crawford.

“They feed off each other,” Hall said. “We are going to do what we do and make sure it’s better (than Buffalo) on every snap.”

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

CENTRAL MICHIGAN, ADIDAS RENEW PARTNERSHIP FOR 10 YEARS

Central Michigan athletics and Adidas have renewed their partnership for 10 years.

Now, the Chippewas will be wearing Adidas shoes, gear and accessories through the 2027-28 season. Adidas has partnerships with each major professional sport in the United States, and college partnerships with schools like Miami, Texas A&M and Louisville.

Women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara is a fan of Adidas. She supports the partnership.

“I like Adidas, I think we dress very sharply,” Guevara said in a press release.

“When we went to the (NCAA) tournament last year, Adidas treated us really well. I think we have a good deal with them, they care about Central Michigan Athletics.

They’re very supportive, and I’m glad we’re staying with them.”

Jim Murphy, senior director of NCAA Sports Marketing at Adidas North America, said CMU athletics provides opportunities

on and off the field.

“We believe through sport, we have the power to change lives,” he said in a press release. “We’re looking forward to collaborating with Central Michigan to find new, creative ways to make a difference in their athletes’ lives, on and off the field.”

John Bonamego, head football coach, who is often seen sporting a CMU/Adidas hat or sweatshirt after practice, also supports the partnership.

“I am extremely pleased with the relationship we have built with Adidas since my arrival at CMU in 2015, and believe it will continue to grow and prosper,” he said in a press release. “Adidas continually provides our student-athletes with top of the line performance technology and have shown their belief in our program without hesitation time and time again.”
