Combat to command A nontraditional student helps guide student government with a life’s worth of experience

By Nathan Clark | Staff Reporter

No one knows what it’s like being a nontraditional student more than 42-year-old Student Government Association Senator and Gulf War veteran Sandy Lane.

You’re expected to be a certain way when you’re here. When you’re not, you become a pariah,” Lane said.

Lane has been a student at CMU, studying sociology with a political science minor, since 2011 while helping to establish and later represent the Student Veteran Associa-

Flint senior and Veteran Service Specialist in the Veteran Resource Center Marq Hicks said Lane is passionate about his work and sets a good example for others.

“I’ve known Sandy since the SVA was just getting started, and he is one of the most passionate people I have ever met,” Hicks said. “He

doesn’t get discouraged easily.

We’re (veterans) — people who are not afraid to say when something is wrong. Sandy is a big example of that.”

When the SVA became a recognized registered student organization, Lane was its first representative, looking out for its interests in the SGA. He was later elected to be a full-fledged senator last spring and has continued fighting for veterans in his new position. w LANE | 2A

Central Michigan University is rolling out a new way to reach its campus community for innovative ideas using two ideation websites for faculty, staff and student use.

The websites, which act like interactive online forums, were created in-house and are a part of the university’s Quality Initiative (QI) information gathering process in conjunction with its continuing Higher Learning Commission accreditation push.

The concept behind the websites is to cultivate user input on possible projects the university should pursue as it moves toward its accreditation goals. Student and staff users will have the option to post departmental initiatives, unique problems, concerns or project ideas much like any other online forum. Ideas can then be voted up or down, or “liked,” pushing the top ideas to the forefront, according to Kole Taylor, communications manager for Information Technology at CMU and the designer of both websites.

Each accreditation cycle takes on a focused priority, and in this round, CMU is focusing on student success as they transition into college life.

By gathering information and ideas directly from the campus community, the university can focus on the unique needs of each college to meet that goal.

“The administration is very interested in building a community, and they’re very supportive of a Quality Initiative that’s constructed by our community,” said Debra Poole, a psychology professor who is spearheading the QI operation.

Since the websites were created and will be monitored by university employees, both cost next to nothing to create, according to Claudia Douglass, interim vice provost of Academic Affairs.

While no cost was associated with building the websites, the total budget for the QI process is $106,000.

The websites are just one of many tools for information gathering during QI, but they might prove to be the most innovative.

“There’s a growing understanding that in collecting information, if you have a way to distill it from as many people as possible, using new technology is a great way to expedite that process,” Pool said. “We don’t expect a lot of people who aren’t w IDEATION WEBSITES | 2A

Survey: Students have mixed feelings about campus safety

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

Students and residents of Mount Pleasant have mixed feelings when it comes to campus safety, according to a survey distributed by Central Michigan Life last month.

Out of the 84 people surveyed, all but four were students currently enrolled at Central Michigan University, with the majority living off campus. Roughly 80 percent of respondents felt CMU has a safe campus.

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said he was encouraged by those findings, saying it reflects the work his department puts into their jobs.

“CMU Police are diligent in their efforts to keep people safe and to help people feel secure on this campus,” Yeagley said.

The rest of the survey found mixed results relating to how safe the community feels. About 65 percent of respondents noted that their opinions of safety on campus and in Mount Pleasant have changed since they began living here, and 52 percent confirmed this change occurred within the past year.

One area the students agreed in majority with was the effective use of campus safety services. About 94 percent of respondents answered that they utilize the Central Alert System provided to students. w SAFETY | 2A

IDEATION WEBSITES | CONTINUED FROM 1A into being on a computer to plug into this, but I think there is a segment of the faculty who are unlikely to come to a forum. Or even unlikely to come to a unit meeting, and some of these individuals may really enjoy or have a history of getting on to ideation websites and we might be able to reach them that way.”

Although CMU has had subscriptions to similar ideation websites in the past, the in-house creation of these two websites marks a first for the university.

Yet, those used to surfing the Internet should be familiar with the concept behind ideation.

“Ideation websites have been around for a long time,” Poole said. “They’re actually mandated for 24 federal agencies. For example, the FBI posts evidence for unsolved cases.

Political parties are using ideation websites. You can get on and join competitions where businesses are offering a reward or a prize for best ideas. You can get on and design a Fiat.”

Aside from gauging faculty and staff input, Poole and others have put a focus on student input.

The student website, which will act in the same capacity as the faculty component, is an exciting prospect for Kelly Wright and Caitlin Homrich, the

two students in charge of managing the page.

“It’s really streamlined,” said Homrich, a senior.

“And I think its nice because with the college wide forums or the different events we host on campus, students might be a little more timid to bring up their ideas.”

Or too busy, adds Wright, an Eaton Rapids graduate student.

“So 2 a.m. might be the best time for them to post something, in that case,” Wright said.

Both websites are fully operational, said Poole and her student monitors.

For Homrich, having the university care about student input is indicative of the essential CMU experience.

“As a student, I’m very excited that we’re required to do this,” she said. “We have a group of faculty and students that are so motivated to do a good job and to crowd source through the whole university. They’re making sure that we’re taking in as many ideas as possible to find the best ideas and to implement them to the best of our abilities.”

LANE | CONTINUED FROM 1A

“We love Sandy and are glad he got involved with SGA. He’s a great guy and has a lot of initiative,” said SGA Student Body President Marie Reimers. “He was the lead of all the veteran resolutions we’ve passed so far this year.

Whenever we need someone to take on an assignment, he eagerly jumps on it. His experience being a non-traditional student and veteran adds insight into issues we might not fully understand.”

Lane wrote and helped pass two resolutions through

the SVA this semester: One allowing veterans to wear veteran cords during graduation commencement and a resolution to set aside special housing on campus for veterans.

Looking out for the welfare of veterans on campus has been a driving force in Lane’s life at CMU, demonstrated by his commitment to dealing with veteran issues.

“Veterans have a lot to offer,” Lane said. “We’re real people with real insight. We already know who we are so we can move on to helping others.” studentlife@cm-life.com

SAFETY | CONTINUED FROM 1A “While I expected a high percentage of people surveyed stating that they use the CMU Central Alert System to keep them alerted to potential safety situations, we hope more people will sign up for this system to keep them informed,” Yeagley said.

Students and residents also agreed that campus is lacking in one safety service in particular, as 81 percent stated that if any service were to be expanded upon, it should be the Safe Rides system.

Others answering the survey said Safe Rides should begin to offer services earlier in the morning to accommodate 8 a.m. classes, and that it ought to begin closer to dusk for those with later classes.

Some students even offered suggestions to improve safety that were not included in the survey.

“I feel campus needs to have more lighting,” another respondent said. “When I leave Pearce (Hall) after my evening class, it is dark. As I walk to my car there is some lighting, but I find it to be too dim. I would feel safer if I could see or be seen by others better.”

Students put CMU among the least safest schools in

Michigan, while close to 51 percent of respondents rated Eastern Michigan University as the safest school in the state.

Those results come despite a January stateuniversity.com analysis that found CMU to be the fifth safest university in

the state of Michigan, up from seventh in 2011.

“Annual crime reporting statistics bear out that CMU is one of the safest campuses in Michigan,” Yeagley said. metro@cm-life.com

Parking lots a prime location for car crashes on campus

By Amanda Brancecum & Adrian Hedden Staff Reporter & Senior Reporter

Cutting across campus by car, Kristine Price is well aware of the danger she faces behind the wheel.

Last month, she was in a traffic accident off campus while heading north at the intersection of Preston and Mission streets. Bobbling a cellphone, Price and her friend were quickly taken

unaware by an oncoming vehicle. Her 2002 Ford Focus was totaled in the accident, leaving a pricey reminder of the importance of awareness while driving.

“My friend was like, ‘Where’s my phone, where’s my phone?’ It was in my lap, but I didn’t register that until I got out of the car,” Price said. “I was not worried about her phone. I didn’t even know how it got in my lap.”

According to data provid-

ed by the CMU Police Department, vehicle accidents in parking lots account for close to 62 percent of auto incidents at CMU. The number of injury-related accidents over the last six years have only accounted for 4.4 percent of all accidents on campus.

Lot 22, designated a commuter parking lot between the Towers Residential Halls and Pearce Hall, has accumulated the most property damage accidents

over the past six years. It is followed closely by the East and West Campus roads, while injury-related accidents are most common on Broomfield Road.

Preston and Washington streets top the list of roads where property damage accidents occur. The two streets typically find high traffic volume, as the Charles V. Park Library and Bovee University Center are nearby.

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley was wary of larger concentrations of drivers in Lot 22. He said students in classes at the nearby Anspach and Pearce halls make up a large number of pedestrians and drivers.

“You can see it’s the largest,” Yeagley said of Lot 22.

“It really receives the most activity. It’s a volume usage issue. That is a high-demand commuter lot that gets lots of vehicles coming and going.”

Yeagley advised oncampus drivers to be more alert when entering the lot. He said personal awareness is a driver’s best tool to avoid accidents.

“Knowing you’re coming into an area of high traffic, you slow down,” Yeagley said. “Look long, drive defensively. Be aware that you’re entering an area where there is a higher likelihood of an accident.”

To prevent accidents in CMU’s largest parking lot, Yeagley said CMUPD has built several stop signs. Yeagley also posts traffic control officers in the area during the first few days of the semester.

“There are stop signs, but sometimes people don’t stop,” he said. “We know there are a lot of new drivers. We’re there to figure out

Top 5 accident-prone parking lots 1. Lot 22 – 72 accidents 2. Lot 62W – 36 accidents 3. Lot 33N – 28 accidents 4. Lot 15 – 20 accidents 5. Lot 47 – 17 accidents *Jan. 1, 2007 to Sept. 16, 2013

where they need to be and how they can get there best.”

To CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman, car accidents are seasonal. He said many of the busier sections of campus suffer from increased danger during snowfalls.

“Broomfield Road during winter is dangerous,” Wassman said. “We see a lot of vehicles sliding into stop signs and poles.”

According to Wassman, there are normally two periods of the year that stand out for accumulating car accidents.

“The two biggest times of the year (for accidents) are the start of the school year during (those) first couple weeks and the first snowfall of the year,” Wassman said.

The intersection of Preston and Washington streets

is dangerous with the intermingling of bikes, pedestrians and cars, Wassman added. Bike lanes were put in to keep more bikes off the sidewalk when it gets crowded. Wassman said vehicle accidents largely outweigh pedestrian-related crashes.

To Alpena junior Abbie Krawczak, obscured crosswalks and signage on Washington Street can be hazardous, even to those on foot.

“The stop sign over by Pearce Hall on Washington Street is difficult to see,” she said. “It can be confusing.” metro@cm-life.com

Ribbon-cutting ceremony marks opening of family therapy center

By Adrian Hedden Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University’s Center for Children, Families and Communities celebrated its grand opening Thursday at CMU’s South Business Park on West Campus Drive.

Previously located in the Carls Center for Clinical Care at the Health Professions Building, the ribboncutting ceremony commemorated CCFC’s move to the new location for more dedicated facilities and specialized care.

“We’ll be able to get more into the communities and see more clients,” said Michelle Young, a graduate student from Saline who will be interning at the facility this summer. “It’s more of a practice environment. There used to be room confusion.”

CCFC received a grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Development. The $300,000 award spans two years. The center also received financial support from the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Provost’s Office.

Intended for interested potential clients to view

“Having all the equipment in one place, this set up will help us make changes that will last longer. We have our faculty right here. They can come right in and coach us. It’s almost instantaneous.”

Samuel Peer, second-year graduate student in the clinical psychology Ph.D. program the facilities and therapists looking to utilize the facilities for training, the ceremony and open-house marked the opening of the CCFC, which expects to see 20 families per week once fully operational.

In the past, CCFC shared resources with other programs in the College of Health Professions. CoDirector Larissa Niec hopes the center will provide dedicated care and therapy to families in need.

“We’re at the edge of a rural area,” Niec said. “We can now reach families that wouldn’t otherwise be able to receive services.”

The new facility provides several offices for faculty and student workers, while offering treatment space with fully-outfitted observation rooms. Using twoway mirrors and handheld audio devices, clients can

be observed and coached as they interact with their children.

“The good thing is we don’t just send them home to try the skills,” Niec said.

“We actually get to help the parent in the moment. If a child has a tantrum, we’re right there to help them through it in a controlled environment. Everything is supervised.”

Newly outfitted with the recording devices and adjustable cameras, clients are able to be observed in greater depth.

“Being able to record sessions, and move cameras is something that helps,” Niec said. “Before we couldn’t get as good of a view.”

Focusing on parent-child interaction therapy, the CCFC will provide an area to train students interested in practicing PCIT after graduation. Co-Director

Daytona Niles | Staff Photographer From left to right, Provost Michael Gealt, Co-Director of the new Center for Children, Families, and Communities Larissa Niec, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Pamela Gates and Co-Director of CCFC Ignacio Acevedo cut a ribbon to celebrate the opening of the CCFC offices on Thursday at the new location on West Campus Drive.

Ignacio Acevedo cited the dedicated area as creating an atmosphere where students and faculty can collaborate on projects.

“If a community has a need, we can reach it and make it happen,” he said.

“We can train people, and offer students interested in the field one space for that training. This really creates a learning community. It’s kind of a think tank.”

Samuel Peer, a secondyear graduate student in the

clinical psychology Ph.D. program, looked forward to greater access to instruction and better equipment to get the job done.

“These rooms have been specifically designed for these treatments,” he said.

“Having all the equipment in one place, this set up will help us make changes that will last longer. We have our faculty right here.

They can come right in and coach us. It’s almost instantaneous.”

Lakeview graduate student Alyssa Gregory said the facility will help solve dysfunction in families, utilizing the dedicated equipment to reshape their relationships.

“We basically get to see parents and kids come in where parents think the kids are a problem,” she said. “In the end, they have a real relationship.” university@cm-life.com

Government gets away with it again Remember when our government was caught spying on us?

Remember when WikiLeaks exposed the United States for numerous occasions of conspiracy and misbehavior?

Remember when the government shut down for 16 days, leaving hundreds of thousands furloughed and millions more embarrassed about their democratic system?

In true American form, most of us are likely to forget it sooner than later. And while Mom might be proud to see we have taken her lesson to heart on never holding grudges, holding the government accountable is a different story.

It is healthy to forgive and forget, to live and let live. Honestly, if we let little problems consume us, we would amount to nothing.

But we have a big problem on our hands. It is not a new problem. In fact, we have been dealing with it since the advent of organized establishment.

The government gets away with whatever it wants.

Sure, the media can write articles and snap all the photos it wants. We can dig deep, ask questions and investigate until there is no tomorrow. But when there is no longer any public interest, the story usually sputters out.

And what once would be considered a great abomination or violation of the Constitution becomes a part of a past our country seems eager to forget. The once sure-tobe spark of a revolution flickers out into nothing but maybe a notation in history books.

The Patriot Act. Benghazi. Have we found those weapons of mass destruction yet?

This brings us to an even bigger problem. We let the government get away with whatever it wants.

We are too busy with everyday life to worry about politics.

Believe it or not, I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t consider myself a radical, nor do I hypocritically criticize a country that has given me freedom and security since the day I was born.

The United States will always be my home. I believe in having pride for my nation, one of the greatest in the world.

However, I also believe in a country built upon the Constitution, for the people and by the people. I believe in following the values and ideals that made us who we are today. And I believe that when we fall short of meeting these standards, we must do more than acknowledge it. The guilty party, regardless of rank or status, must be held accountable. Transparency is mandatory.

Sometimes, during our busy schedules, it is important to discuss issues like the implications of the government shutdown or the potential dangers of NSA surveillance.

Too much focus on CMED A

s Central Michigan University faces enrollment turbulence, budget cuts are an inevitability with such a large reliance on tuition dollars.

But not at the College of Medicine.

In 2008, during former President Michael Rau’s tenure, the university announced it would have to shell out a one-time investment to help fund the College of Medicine.

Rau even specifically said that CMED would not cut into the operating budget, instead pulling funds from reserve funds. In 2011, thenProvost Gary Shapiro announced increased costs that are “likely to exceed $30 million,” with an additional $3 million in annual support.

Originally setting aside $25 million, the university has since increased this total to more than $30 million — promising CMED at least $6 million over the next five years.

Was Rau accurate in saying that CMED will not cut into the operating budget?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

‘Crisis’ at CMU due to cuts, spending TO THE EDITOR: As president and vice president of the Graduate Student Union, we wish to echo CM Life’s disappointment in President Ross’ State of the University Address and also acknowledge the university’s casual deployment of crisis rhetoric as a way to attempt to unite and divide the university community.

While CMU has taken great care to remind us that undergraduate enrollment is down, it has failed to showcase its strong graduate enrollment. We don’t see the small decline in undergraduate enrollment as problematic given that the peak enrollment last year was beyond CMU’s own goals and created a housing crunch for those living on campus as well as a strain on services provided to students.

The right to free expression I am an advocate of the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Elections Committee Supreme Court decision.

Now, before you begin to hate or ignore me, here are a few questions that I would like to pose: Should the ACLU, a non-profit corporation that advocates for civil liberties, be allowed to produce a television commercial excoriating a former KKK Grand Wizard while he pursues office?

Should the American Federation of Labor be allowed to issue a pamphlet that criticizes the stances of potential politicians on unions?

These are both things that Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm L. Stewart argued should be illegal, and likely would have been, had the Supreme Court decided otherwise in its controversial 2010 ruling.

Now why is that? Well, the case was about a conservative lobbying group known as Citizens United and an amusing on-demand cable film they wished to air called, “Hillary: The Movie.” However, the action of airing the film would turn out to be illegal.

Essentially, the 2002 McCain–Feingold Act banned “electioneering communications,” which it considered to be any union or corporationsponsored television/radio advertisement mentioning a candidate pursuing federal office.

But wasn’t Citizens United controversial because corporations could anonymously purchase candidates through political action committees?

No, this is a ludicrous conclusion. Although the Supreme Court’s ruling did allow for the creation of super PACs, a super PAC is no more worrisome than a Furby.

A super PAC is an organization that has the ability to acquire campaign contributions from corporations, unions and individuals alike, have no limit to these contributions and is prohibited from donating cash directly to candidates.

The controversy with super PACs is their ability to receive funds from 501(c)4 non-profits, some of which may not disclose their donors for a variety of purposes.

A 2012 Demos study found 5.6 percent of all super PAC funds come from these non-profits, while it estimates that 6.4 percent of all super PAC funds in total were unfeasibly traceable.

Wow, with 6.4 percent of all super PACs’ funds coming from anonymous sources, surely the integrity of our democracy is at stake.

Except for, oh wait, super PAC funds can at worst essentially be used for advertisements and the majority of people are not complete idiots.

I mean, how many people base their votes on nothing but advertisements? Have a sliver of faith in the American populace.

poverty level and 30 percent of our bargaining unit without health insurance. One of the oft-cited platitudes — one that has been used at other higher education institutions as means of union-busting — is that we are students, not employees. This, despite our crucial role teaching more than 20 percent of the courses at CMU. We want to continue to call into question the idea that CMU is in a crisis and the ways in which it is used to create job and budget insecurities.

If it is a crisis, it one created by funding cuts made in Lansing and misplaced spending priorities in the upper echelon of the university administration.

contract for graduate assistants, we wish to remind the CMU community that despite calls for all employees to “make sacrifices,” CMU continues to fund a robust administrative arm and its concomitant support staff as well as an athletics department.

One popular criticism we have heard is that CMU needs its abundance of deans to deal with a diverse student population made possible by the increasing accessibility of college.

Such an argument falls flat when we learn that the ratio of (vital) SDS staff to students is 17 to 703. Who do the deans and provosts oversee with such stark staffing gaps?

While university support represents just one of six revenue streams that will fund the college, CMED’s current revenue totals $3.6 million — a concerning number for a college demanding $18.3 million in expenses this year alone.

Although university officials consistently say the College of Medicine will not draw from tuition dollars, tuition costs have increased while some core departments face increasing funding cuts and the inability to afford some of the more basic office supplies.

Once it has four full classes, CMED will be comprised of just 400 students on campus, only a small fraction of an ever-decreasing student body — which begs the question: Do our priorities have the students in mind?

The college has earned its place as the crown jewel of the university, seemingly immune to the penny pinching and budget slashing seen just about everywhere else on campus, aside from athletics.

There is an undeniable shortage of physicians in some areas of the state, and CMED seems to be in place to address that need. But perhaps it wasn’t the right time to address those concerns when campus is in the midst of handling its own series of shortages.

University President George Ross has consistently emphasized the importance of building the “CMU brand” in order to become a “firstchoice university.”

But CMED is a self-serving entity. It’s difficult to see how growing CMED will extend any benefits to other areas of campus. By neglecting the academic core and focusing so much of its attention on such a talented but incredibly small group of students, CMU won’t have a brand to build.

NAME THAT BUILDING

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WAS ONCE LIBRARY, CAFETERIA

Tianyu Han | Staff Photographer

By Kurt Nagl Staff Reporter

With help from the Clarke Historical Library, Name that Building is a weekly feature that explores the namesake of various buildings around CMU’s campus.

Named after Eugene Clarence Warriner, Central Michigan University’s president from 1918 - 1939, Warriner Hall currently serves as the school’s administration building, though it has been used for a variety of purposes since opening its doors in 1928.

Perhaps intentionally, the building with some of the most alluring architectural features on campus was dedicated to one of the most respected leaders of CMU. Warriner’s story starts in Dixon County, Ill., where he was born in 1866, long before CMU was known as CMU. After graduating high school, Warriner re-

mained in his hometown for a short while to teach elementary school. In 1891, he earned a bachelor of arts degree with honors at the University of Michigan. From there, he pursued graduate degrees at Clarke, Harvard and Columbia universities.

Warriner eventually found his way back to Michigan for work, becoming principal of Battle Creek and East Saginaw high schools. In 1899, he began an 18-year stint as superintendent of the Saginaw school system.

In 1913, five years before becoming CMU’s president, Warriner was licensed as a Methodist Episcopal minister.

He used his passion for tolerance and advocacy for temperance to support the pre-war peace movements.

Sometime between studying the school systems of Germany and pursuing work in the states, Warriner became a summer instructor at

Central State Normal College. The school would soon be known as Central Michigan University, and its president at the time, Charles T. Grawn, would soon resign.

The State Board of Education elected Warriner to take Grawn’s place as the president of CMU in 1918. His 21-year tenure carried students and administration through the struggles of World War I, the great flu epidemic of 1918, the Great Depression and two tragic fires.

Warriner retired in 1939 after two decades as the head of the university. He suffered ill health for the next few years before passing away on July 20, 1945.

Warriner Hall was dedicated to the former president in 1925 and has functioned as everything from a classroom building and library to a women’s common and cafeteria. university@cm-life.com

Environmental health major gains popularity in recent years

By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

Students and professors are looking to increase awareness of the recently developed environmental health major at Central Michigan University.

Part of the College of Health Professions, environmental health was first approved as a major in Spring 2011. Since then, the program has slowly gained attention from students interested in applied science.

Four of the 10 students pursuing an environmental health major have signed within the past year, Environmental Health and Safety Director Rebecca Uzarski said.

Midland senior Casey Glynn is an environmental health major and president of the Student Environmental Health Association RSO. “I think it is important for students to learn about environmental health because it touches every aspect of their lives, without them even realizing it,” Glynn said. “It deals with maintaining water resources, ensuring safe food supplies and cleaning up air pollution.”

Environmental health refers to a wide range of subjects, from communicable disease

outbreaks and hazardous waste to restaurant health inspection and industrial safety, Glynn said. The program also delves into topics in geology, chemistry and health sciences.

SEHA was formed by environmental health students to help spread the word about the new program. The group performs group activities to learn more about environmental health issues. They also frequently host guest speakers who have experience in related professions, Glynn said.

One of the required courses for the major is Environmental Health (HSC 352). Taught by assistant professor Salma Haidar, the class broadly covers most major issues in environmental health, giving students the chance to find out what aspect of the field interests them.

Greenville graduate student Elizabeth Kalnins is the only student who has graduated with an environmental health major so far. She said the major helped her gain a career in the environmental field two months after graduation and she uses her education in the subject daily.

“There are many jobs available in Michigan currently that apply to this major,” she said.

“Local health departments are regularly posting job openings and private sector companies are hiring as well.”

Kalnins said the major opens up opportunities for employment in a number of fields, including health inspection, environmental research and environmental cleanup.

The environmental health program, accredited by the National Environmental Health Science and Protection Accreditation Council, is still in its early stages. studentlife@cm-life.com

After government reopens, Obama calls for sweeping immigration reform

TONY VS. FOOD

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

coupled with provisions to increase border security.

The Senate’s reform measures double the number of Border Patrol agents to 38,405, complete construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Building the wall is counterproductive and will have little effect on (unauthorized immigration),” Perez said.

“Immigration is a complex issue and must be dealt with through a comprehensive solution. Enforcement alone will not be effective.”

Economics professor Lawrence Brunner said restrictions on low-skilled immigration are justified by the fact that it diminishes the wages of low-skilled Americans.

“The net gains (of lowskilled immigration) are very small relative to the cost to the domestic workers competing with the immigrants,” Brunner said.

Perez added that the process of legal immigration needs to become simpler to provide a more humane treat-

After a two-week hiatus, I got back into the food eating mood by attempting Robaire’s Bakery challenge: A 23-inch long doughnut, covered in chocolate and filled with custard.

I tried to summon my inner Homer Simpson.

Unfortunately, the 12-pound doughnut gave me what I can only call a hyper nap. This odd occurrence comes when a person consumes enough sugar to make Betty White do a back flip, and enough bread to fill a gorge.

It’s important to know for any would-be challengers that you have your choice between custard and creme. All the employees asked me why I chose the heavier substance, and all I could say was go big or go home.

While it was tasty, it was also filling, forcing

me to stop eating after only consuming onefourth of the pastry.

Finding the correct way to eat it was too much to handle. Picking it up was out of the question, and cutting it became a task of its own.

In fact, at one point, the head of the plastic fork I was using snapped off, leaving the threepronged head lost in a sea of custard.

It was so thick and sugary that on the walk back from the bakery I couldn’t stop shaking.

But, it’s six-inch waistline was what surprised me the most.

When I first heard of the challenge, I didn’t think much of it because I can normally eat an entire bag of doughnuts.

But after catching a first glimpse of the behemoth made out of dough, I knew I never stood a chance. This would be a challenge meant for two, maybe three people.

I’m just thankful I ate enough to reach the lettering. It was hard enough eating the doughnut without several spectators poking their heads in the store to take a look.

It was by far one of the messiest challenges I have attempted. My hands had more chocolate on them than Taylor Swift’s on Valentine’s Day. All in all, the sugar proved to be too much.

Food won.

After the chaos of the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis, immigration reform might be America’s next hot political topic.

President Barack Obama indicated Thursday he will push yet again for a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. immigration system.

“We should finish the job of fixing our broken immigration system,” Obama said via press release. “Let’s start the negotiations. This can and should get done by the end of this year.”

The U.S. Senate previously passed immigration reform legislation this June, but it failed to pass the House of Representatives.

The Senate’s bill would create a path to citizenship for the approximately 11 million unauthorized residents currently living in the United States. It includes provisions to dramatically increase worker visas in addition to its border security.

As the Senate bill stands, all individuals who illegally reside within the United States will be granted a temporary legal status.

With this status, these individuals will then be eligible for full citizenship as soon as 13 years if they do not commit a felony or three misdemeanors.

CMU Director of Cultural and Global Studies and political science professor Orlando Perez, criticized the lengthy waiting time for potential citizenship.

“I think (the period) is too long, but realistically, it is probably the best we can hope for out of the legislation,” Perez said. “I would not call it amnesty ... you are not going to deport 11 million people out of this country.

You have to provide some pathway to legalization and eventual citizenship.”

This path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants was

Central signs football series with Syracuse, to host the Orangemen in 2014

By Aaron McMann Senior Reporter

Central Michigan has signed a 2-for-1 football series with Syracuse, bringing the Orangemen to Mount Pleasant in 2014 as a replacement for North Carolina State.

CMU announced the series Wednesday, along with confirming the 2014 season opener, scheduled for Aug.

28, 2014, against TennesseeChattanooga of the Football Championship Subdivision.

Syracuse, of the Atlantic Coast Conference, will play CMU at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Sept. 13, 2014, with the Chippewas traveling to Syracuse, N.Y., on Sept. 19, 2015, and again for a game in 2017.

CMU will pay Syracuse $200,000 for the 2014 game, while CMU will receive

$550,000 and $250,000 for the following two games.

“We’ve been working on it for a while knowing that we had that dilemma with North Carolina State,” CMU athletics director Dave Heeke said.

“I’m always in the mix with football scheduling, looking at lots of opportunities.

We have a number of people across the country that I immediately turn to when

we have football scheduling dilemmas or challenges.

“We identified Syracuse as a potential right out of the game, and we’re real pleased that it worked out.”

Syracuse, of the Atlantic Coast Conference, serves as a replacement for N.C. State, which recently paid CMU a $350,000 buyout for canceling a 2-for-1 contract. CMU played N.C. State in Raleigh,

Women’s soccer looks to finish season strong in MAC title race

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Katy Kildee | Assistant Photo Editor Junior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque has been a key asset for the team and could determine their success this weekend.

A four-game winning streak, first place in the division, and a playoff spot secured isn’t to be enough for the women’s soccer team.

A tough non-conference schedule ended with CMU sitting at 0-7-1 on the season and a team rattled with injuries and inconsistent performances. However, the times seemed to have changed, as the Chippewas sit atop their respected division and have meaningful games to play late in the season.

“To have success as you get late in the season, you have to speak the language

you’ve been speaking the entire time,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “If I’m having to say things I haven’t said all season, the message is mixed.”

That message has been heard loud and clear, and it’s showing on the field right now.

Consistency was not a word one might have used to describe this team early on in the season, but with the way this team has performed throughout conference play, consistency is now a word being used in every game to describe the Chippewas.

McGahey said that everything the team has discussed throughout the w MAC RACE | 2B

Saving Grace Goalkeeper Labrecque pivotal part of soccer team’s success during critical weekend

By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter

S

he has been the Chippewas saving grace on many occasions this season, and women’s soccer needs her this weekend more than ever.

The performance of junior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque could determine the success or failure of the soccer team during a crucial home-and-away series as the season’s end nears.

The women have an opportunity Friday to knock off one of the best teams in the Mid-American Confer-

ence when they travel to Oxford, Ohio to play Miami.

Two days later, CMU (6-2 in MAC) will host winless Ball State on senior day at 3 p.m. on Sunday at the CMU Soccer Complex.

“Truth be told they are all big games from this point to the end of the season,” said head coach Peter McGahey.

“The stability (Labrecque) brings is huge for us. She is a very important part of our backline, and we will need her to come through for us this weekend.”

The RedHawks (5-1-2 in MAC) have one the most consistent scoring attacks

in the conference. Miami is averaging just over 13 shots per game and have totaled 28 goals scored heading into action against CMU. MU has a bevy of weapons. Three different RedHawks have scored at least five goals this season.

“As long as we stick to our same game plan and stay organized defensively, we should be OK,” Labrecque said. “Having a scoring attack like we have takes a little bit of pressure off. When they do well, it helps (the backline) a lot.”

Labrecque will look to extend her consecutive

shutout streak to five games against Miami. She has allowed just 10 goals and totaled 50 saves through 11 games this season.

CMU has scored seven goals during Labrecque’s four-game shutout streak.

However, the Chippewas have allowed 21 shots on Labrecque’s net during that span; a season high for any four-game stretch this season.

“We can’t prevent every scoring chance. Things happen,” Labrecque said.

“I am always just trying to w GOALIE | 2B

First place women’s soccer to play twice this weekend for MAC dominance

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

After securing a playoff spot last weekend by winning its fourth consecutive game, women’s soccer looks to continue that success against Miami and Ball State.

Head coach Peter McGahey said every game is important this late in the season with the playoffs not too far off.

“Truth be told, all the games are big at this point,” McGahey said. “I think we’re looking forward to going down to Miami and are really excited about the weekend.”

CMU (6-9-1, 6-2 MAC) comes into the weekend tied with Eastern Michigan for first place in the Mid-American Conference West division.

The defense and offense are clicking right now for the Chippewas, having allowed zero goals in their last four games while scoring seven goals.

McGahey said the success this

team is experiencing right now is all the result of always working on getting better in practice.

“At this point in the season, it’s all about refining and getting better and keeping a good rhythm while getting the ball in and creating quality chances,” McGahey said.

Junior forward Laura Gosse has been strong for CMU, scoring four goals in the team’s last four games, including two game winners. She leads the Chippewas this season in both points (11) and goals (5).

Gosse said that although the team has a lot of momentum right now, the focus is on Miami and the challenge of playing a fellow first place opponent.

“I think we have some good momentum going,” Gosse said.

“We have to support each position. We all know Miami is going to be a really tough battle, especially because we lost to them in the MAC tournament last year so it’s going to be a little emotional, but

once we get everything under control I think we’ll be fine.”

Junior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque recorded her ninth career shut-out last Sunday against Buffalo moving her into third all-time in program history.

Miami (9-4-3, 5-1-2 MAC) is in first place in the MAC East. The RedHawks have three players with at least five goals, including the reigning MAC Player of the Week, junior forward Kelsey Dingles.

Ball State (9-4-3, 4-4-2 MAC) trails CMU in the division standing sitting in third place. Senior midfielder Michelle Blok leads the Cardinals with four goals this season.

Labrecque said in order to maintain this level of success, the team has to continue to play with discipline on defense.

“We have to stick to our game plan and stay organized defensively,” Labrecque said. sports@cm-life.com

CMU’s leading goal scorer, Laura Gosse, heads into the weekend with five goals to her name and said having a player like Labrecque protecting her team’s net is comforting.

A MAC team will play a school from the American Athletic Conference in 2016 and 2018 at Marlins Park in Miami. The league is expected to name one more bowl affiliation in the next week.

“The Mid-American Conference is proud to have a tie-in with the Miami Beach Bowl as part of this collaborative effort among FBS conferences,” said MidAmerican Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher.

what kind of goalkeeper we have.”

The junior goalkeeper’s success seems effortless at times. Her sheer size and cat-like reflexes have singled her out as a lead candidate for the Chippewas most valuable player this season.

During MAC play, her confidence has become contagious.

“My team brings me confidence,” Labrecque said.

“We’ve been winning more lately, which is a major confidence boost. The relationships we all have off the field helps a lot. We are all here for each other.” sports@cm-life.com

“The groundwork for the things we have been talking about is what we have been applying in games,” McGahey said.

This message is one of focus, resiliency, determination and winning. Each of these words has been heard time and time again in practice and following games.

Junior forward Laura Gosse seemingly feeds off this momentum and this message. She said she is playing with a lot of confidence right now and is always trying to bring positive energy to each practice and game.

“I’m pretty confident out there, but not overly confident. It’s good to have that balance and not to play scared,” Gosse said. “I try to bring a lot energy, not just to myself but to my teammates. My teammates help me out a lot.” sports@cm-life.com

Team defends home-unbeaten streak

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Field hockey will defend its winning streak at home this weekend against Mid-American Conference opponent Missouri State on Saturday and Northwestern on Sunday.

CMU remains in a three-way tie with Miami (Ohio) and Ohio for second place in the MAC with a 2-1 conference record and an overall record of 5-9.

Missouri State enters Saturday’s match with a 3-11 record, winning two of seven away games. CMU stands unbeaten (3-0) when facing opponents on its own turf, and will be faced

Away games are beneficial With field hockey’s season wrapping up, it heads into post-season play and remains hopeful for a Mid-American Conference championship.

The Chippewas spend two of their last three games at their home field, which is only the third time they have played there all season.

Now, one might think that having such a short home season a team could be lacking in areas because of all the traveling.

Yes, traveling can be stress-

Field hockey has advantage Field hockey is in position for a late season push for the Mid-American Conference title and the No. 1 seed in the much-anticipated MAC tournament.

CMU has bounced back from a six-game losing streak by winning two games in a row, one of which being MAC rival Ball State.

The late season push has moved the Chippewas into

with the biggest challenge yet in this weekend’s double-header.

The Bears have no problem traveling and winning, they have more away matches than home.

The match in Mount Pleasant will be their last match before the final home match of the year. Yet MSU have yet to defeat a MidAmerican Conference opponent.

Northwestern on the other hand is ranked No. 13 in the nation for field hockey, losing only four matches this year, three of which were against nationally ranked teams.

Northwestern is averaging 2.38 goals per game and giving up an average of only 1.19 goals.

CMU averages 1.50 goals per

In fact, all that traveling and visits to opponents’ fields is actually beneficial to the team.

If a team is not used to playing on its home field, it’s going to be more likely to play well away. Playing a lot of home games is what makes teams spoiled, and ev-

Cody DeBona

Staff Reporter second place, stuck in a three-way tie with Ohio and Miami (Ohio).

A key component of the CMU bounce-back is Cayleigh Immelman, scoring two goals, one of which to beat Ball State. Another key component is Kaysie Gregory. Gregory scored an overtime winner and an assist for a game-winning goal to Immelman.

The No. 1 seed Miami (Ohio) took ahold of the

game and allows 2.00 per game.

Biggest threat for Northwestern is senior Nikki Parsley with a scoring record of 12 goals on the season so far compared to the Chippewas 21 goals for their entire team for the season.

Against Big Ten teams this season, CMU has been outscored 10-1, scoring only on Iowa in a 7-1 defeat. The last time the Chippewas beat a Big Ten team was in 2009, edging the University of Michigan 1-0.

The Wildcats are sure to be the toughest opponent CMU has seen at home this year and will test the Chippewas to the limit. sports@cm-life.com

eryone knows nothing good comes from something that is spoiled.

They get used to the field, the smells, the air, the fans, even the sights they see while on the field. To me, this is a bad thing. No conference championship game is played at someone’s home field.

Another positive is that when the team finally comes home, it’s motivated, which could be a result of the Chippewas 3-0 record at home today.

This team will be used to traveling, they will be used to other fields and fans. Being able to play a lot of away games is truly a positive thing. Perhaps it’s a reason the team is in position to win the MAC regular-season title and were picked in the preseason to win the tournament.

trophy in 2012 and proved that seeds do matter. No. 1 seed right now as it stands is Kent State, but the Golden Flashes have to face off against the two other teams tied in second place: Miami (Ohio) and Ohio.

Every match matters in the MAC and every play could impact the Chippewas chances to the MAC title and to the No. 1 seed in the tournament on Friday, Nov. 8.

CMU is defending a home-unbeaten streak this weekend against Missouri State on Saturday and No.13 Northwestern on Sunday.

The three-way second place knot will be broken this weekend, and the Chippewas have the advantage, taking on the last place team in the MAC.

Volleyball to host two MAC matches

Schuette looks to provide spark as team tries to turn season around at home

By Taylor Desormeau Staff Reporter

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

With the later portion of the season under way, volleyball has shown its many strengths, sweeping conference opponents with relative ease.

Unfortunately for the Chippewas, they have also seen the tables turn on them, and many times quite quickly.

At 9-11, 3-5 in Mid-American Conference play, CMU has seen its ups and downs.

Head coach Erik Olson has stressed to his team the need to remain consistent after a win.

“We can’t allow the same set of conditions to exist, so one of our goals in the MAC is to impose our will,” Olson said. “If a defense is set up a certain way, we need to do things offensively that make them change their defense.

Our defensive numbers have been high, but I think that’s also a symptom of us not doing great offensively.”

CMU faces two conference opponents this weekend from opposite ends of the spectrum. Buffalo comes into Friday’s match with an overall record of 16-5 and they are an even 4-4 in conference play.

A stark contrast to the Bulls is Akron. The Zips have been struggling this season, and especially in MAC match play, where they have yet to win a game. Despite having an 0-8 conference record, Olson will not take them lightly.

“I think Akron is scrapping for a W for sure,” Olson said.

“You can’t take them lightly at all and they went four sets with Northern Illinois last weekend, so that shows me they’re getting better. It’s a match I’m concerned about.

Buffalo was awesome in their loss to Bowling Green, and

“We certainly hope that everyone comes out to support us on both nights, Friday and Saturday. We’re home for a full weekend and this team is exciting to watch; we just need a little support at home.”

Erik Olson, head coach their libero is just as good as Jenna (Coates). They’re put together well and they’ll be a tough opponent.”

After trading home and road matches for most of the season, the Chippewas are pleased they will be home at McGuirk Arena for both weekend matches. It is also special to the team because CMU will be holding its annual Dig Pink event to raise money for breast cancer awareness month.

The players will be wearing pink accessories and pink t-shirts and hats will be for sale. The Sideout Foundation will also be raising money for breast cancer at the event.

Being at home for the weekend, according to Olson, always has his team raring

to go, but this weekend he hopes for a little bit more of an advantage with a plethora of pink in the stands.

“I don’t know that it does (bring more people to the game), I think it’s just pinker,” Olson said. “Our crowds have been pretty good. Our last crowd I think was around 750.

“We certainly hope that everyone comes out to support us on both nights, Friday and Saturday. We’re home for a full weekend and this team is exciting to watch; we just need a little support at home.”

Both matches are set for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at McGuirk Arena. sports@cm-life.com

When outside hitter Katie Schuette decided to return to CMU as a graduate student after being injured her senior year, there was no guarantee she’d start.

Schuette played sets on and off early in the season with performances to match that. After recording a career-high 15 kills Friday against Miami and eight kills Saturday at Bowling Green, Schuette might have solidified herself a starting job, at Andrew Kuhn | File Photo least for now.

Bye-week grades for the CMU football team: Offense, special teams

Aaron McMann

With a bye week – two weeks, really – Central Michigan football beat writer Aaron McMann evaluates and dishes out grades for the team. This week, he’ll focus on the offense and special teams. Next week, he’ll take a look at the defense and coaching.

Senior Reporter

Cooper Rush

Saylor Lavallii

QUARTERBACKS:

RUNNING BACKS:

Grade: D+

Grade: C+

It’s been a wild ride for Cooper Rush through eight games, going from big man on campus one week to singlehandedly throwing a game away two weeks later. He has struggled at times with reading receivers and routes, but there’s something to say about his arm strength and pinpoint accuracy.

He might not be there yet in terms of development or confidence, but he’s handled the situation better than a third-string should have after an injury to Cody Kater and Alex Niznak struggling. Maybe head coach Dan Enos was right when he discussed parity at quarterback before the season. That, or Rush was better than Enos wanted to give him credit for.

Jake Olson

Hit and miss has been the way best way to describe this group.

Much like quarterback, the unit took a hit in the season opener when senior Zurlon Tipton went down to injury, leaving the spot open for the taking. Sophomore Saylor Lavallii appeared to step up, and has shown glimpses of explosive plays and impressive games, but they haven’t been able to put together a consistent effort. Since getting more reps, redshirt freshman Maurice Shoemaker-Gilmore has provided added competition and an early look at CMU’s back of the future. Having Tipton would make this group so much more effective.

Titus Davis

OFFENSIVE LINE:

The effectiveness of the quarterback and running backs depend directly on the offensive line, and much like both, they’ve been average at best this year. Part of that can be contributed to a sophomore at center and redshirt freshman at right guard, and it doesn’t help matters when senior left guard Jake Olson goes down to injury again. The unit appears to be meshing, evident by the Lavallii’s back-to-back career highs in rushing against Miami and Ohio, but we should have a better idea of how it’s doing after the Nov. 6 game at Ball State.

Grade: C-

Classifieds cm-life.com/classifieds

Aside from Titus Davis, this group has been a bit of a disappointment so far. Courtney Williams has trouble holding on to the ball and we haven’t really seen that break out season we thought we would from sophomore Andrew Flory, who shined in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl amidst Davis’ absence. It’s funny, though, that this group seems to step up when Davis is out, with the upset win over Ohio as proof.

Williams, Flory freshman Anthony Rice and tight ends Ben McCord and Connor Odykirk all came up big. That just goes to show you how much this team relies on Davis for his speed and playmaking abilities.

KICKING/SPECIAL TEAMS:

Things looked good early, with redshirt freshman kicker Ron Coluzzi making his first five fieldgoal attempts, including three in the season opener at Michigan and a game-winning 27-yard kick against New Hampshire. But he is 3-for-7 in the last four games, missing twice in the win over Ohio. The Chippewas, meanwhile, rank in the bottom half of the MAC in punting and return average. Aside from an occasional return from Titus Davis, CMU hasn’t been able to turn kick returns into much of a field advantage.
