STUDENT LIFE

Lived up to students' expectations Friday By Adeline Meachum Staff Reporter

Rapper Big Sean brought high energy and an offering of his biggest hits to the 3,746 students who bought tickets for his Friday concert at the Events Center. By the time opening act Travis Porter, a hip-hop group from Atlanta, ended their set with a performance of their hit single “Ayy Ladies,” the crowd grew noticeably impatient for the main act to arrive on stage. The wait was well worth it. Big Sean soon burst on to the stage with an electrifying performance of “Mercy,” his 2012 hit single off his label G.O.O.D. Music’s “Cruel Summer” album, setting the tone for the entire show. “I loved the energy he had when he came out on stage,” Detroit junior Kelsey McKoy said. “There was never a dull moment. He kept his energy all the way through.” The rapper said he enjoyed the show as much as the crowd seemed to. “It was awesome,” Sean told CM Life during an interview exlusive. “I came early to CMU tired, but now I’m so charged. I hope I lived up to (the audience’s) expectations. I’d love to do it again if they’ll have me back.” w BIG SEAN | 6A

University promises CMED $30 million in donations By Adrian Hedden Senior Reporter

The College of Medicine is expecting more than $30 million from the university over the next five years. University support is just one of six revenue streams that will fund CMED. Combined with tuition, clinical and research dollars and other charitable donations, CMED’s current revenue totals $3.6 million. According to CMED’s founding

dean Ernest Yoder, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education requires a multitude of funding sources for accreditation. “The LCME requires diversity in funding,” he said. “This is no different than any other medical school.” CMED’s Senior Associate Dean of Administration and Finance Deborah Biggs said that in its early days, the college will rely heavily on each source of funding.

Alcohol violations, arrests down in 2012 By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

The no-tolerance policy the CMU Police Department implemented in 2010 has resulted in a growing number of alcohol arrests and violations over the past few years. Other violations have also increased since 2010, but on a smaller scale. CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman said Campus Po-

lice and other law enforcement agencies in the area decided to increase efforts in 2010 to curb illegal behavior including underage drinking. The police department has no plans to change that policy in the near future. “Our philosophy has kind of changed,” Wassman said. “It makes sense. If we allow for things to get out of hand, things will continue to get out of hand, and it will create a lot more problems for us.”
