or some, a night out drinking means calorie overload. To combat this, skipping a meal or two before heading out is seen by some as a justifiable way to keep the calorie count down.

Some college students fall into dangerous habits like this when they want to drink but still watch their weight. “Drunkorexia” is the term for someone who restricts food calories in their daily diet to make room for alcohol calories.

It is a fad that is spreading at college campuses across the nation, including Central Michigan University. Drunkorexic behavior stems from a fear of weight gain from alcohol consumption and is more common in college-aged women.

“An important point to emphasize regarding the decision to consume alcohol, as Michelle Veith, associate director of Residence Life says, is, ‘Be smart, be safe and take care of one another,’” said Ross Rapaport, director of the Counseling Center and professor at CMU. Rapaport referenced an article in “Psychology Today,” finding that one side effect of limiting food calories in exchange for alcohol calories is that it is easier to get drunk faster.

“Psychology Today” found 30 percent of women between the ages of 18-23 have skipped a meal in order to drink more. Sixteen percent of women do it on a regular basis.

Lowell junior Katie Devries said she thinks drunkorexia is an issue at CMU, but it is probably just as prevalent on other Michigan campuses.

“I don’t think it is a good idea,” she said. “I don’t know why you would want to drink on an empty stomach.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, many people spin out of control after drinking and binge on food after not having eaten for a long time. People often use laxatives and exercise, in addition to skipping meals, to offset the calories gained from drinking.

It is suspected that drunkorexia peaks in college, but is not limited to these years. According to some experts, someone who is a weight-conscious drinker is someone who might have an eating disorder.

“I think any time you consume alcohol instead of eating correctly you put yourself at risk,” Jamie Brown, a CMU recreation, parks and leisure services faculty member, said. “Trends and fads are what historically get people into trouble.”

Before serving in her current position, Brown was an academic adviser in the Towers residence halls and worked with CMU’s orientation program. She also served as the assistant director of student life, as a residence hall director and faculty instructor for FYE 101 (First Year Experience).

Brown said she believes CMU students are responsible about alcohol, but don’t realize that bad things can happen to them when they push the limits.

Some students feel the practice of drunkorexia is unsafe, and fads like that aren’t fully understood for the damage they can do.

“I don’t think drinking to get wasted is safe,” said Mount Pleasant senior Polina Koptelova. “Everything in moderation is the key.”

Clarkston sophomore Kara Weightman said she feels students at CMU are responsible regarding their attitudes about alcohol, but drinking fads such as drunkorexia sound dangerous.

“It’s their choice if they want to partake in anything,” she said. “But I think something like (drunkorexia) promotes binge drinking. It’s not good for your body.”

Grosse Pointe sophomore Anna Arslanian said she doesn’t see the point.

“I just don’t think it’s worth it,” Arslanian said.

“I think the only reason someone would do that would be to look cool or get quicker results.”

Former U.S. rep alleges aide sabotaged ‘12 campaign

Money embezzled from CMU’s Sigma Pi

By John Irwin Managing Editor

An aide to former U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Mich., allegedly accepted a bribe to “sabotage” the Congressman’s failed 2012 re-election campaign in order to repay a Central Michigan University fraternity he allegedly embezzled.

According to a Sunday report

by Chad Livengood of The Detroit News, former McCotter aide Don Yowchuang is alleged in a legal complaint filed by McCotter to have accepted cash from an unknown source to repay more than $20,000 he allegedly embezzled from CMU’s Sigma Pi chapter in return for submitting fraudulent nominating petitions that kept his boss off the ballot. w MCCOTTER | 2

Central Michigan University professors are among the highest paid in the state.

The university ranked fourth overall in comparable salaries at the end of 2012-13 in relation to nine others in Michigan — CMU is about 10 percent behind Michigan State University, and just an average of $50 ahead of Eastern Michigan University, according to data collected from the American Association of University Professors.

“CMU is not at the top, but not at the bottom,” said Faculty Association President Josh Smith. “Most of our data is at the middle of the road. Some people are happy, some are not. The market might suggest that one can get paid more, and that can make (professors) unhappy with what they have.”

Comparing university pay rates can be challenging Smith explained, as each university is different in regards to the amount of teachers at each pay rank. He said before union negotiations, the FA takes a good look at what other schools are doing. w FACULTY PAY | 2

Mount Pleasant Marine honored with shore-to-shore run

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

On a crisp November morning, military and community members gathered at Island Park to honor one of their fallen brothers.

Lance Corporal Justin Ellsworth, a Marine from Mount Pleasant, gave his life to save 15 other marines in 2004 when he threw himself onto an improvised explosive device.

Nine years later, a group of Marines honored his memory with a shore-to-shore run across the state of Michigan as part of a weekendlong memorial celebration.

Always Brothers, a collection of men originally stationed at Marine Security Company Camp David in the Presidential Guard, set out Saturday for their starting point in Benona Township at Lake Michigan,

Native American Heritage Month

and proceeded to run 150 miles east to the Quainicassee Wildlife Area near Lake Huron.

“You’ve got to think about why we’re standing here right now,” said Reggie O’Hara, a runner from Dayton, Ohio. “I was lucky enough to come home myself. That’s why I do this.”

O’Hara, who served as an Army Special Service soldier for five years, is a member of the Always Brothers group and has participated in several long-distance runs in honor of fallen men, becoming close friends with those who served at Camp David.

Always Brothers began with a run in 2011 to honor Capt. Tyler Swisher, a comrade at Camp David who was killed in Iraq in 2005 when an IED struck the vehicle he was riding in.

FACULTY PAY | CONTINUED FROM 1 “One school might be heavy on high-end salaries, while another might have more low-end salaries,” Smith said.

“Market forces drive these things. We like to think that having faculty made the priority will be beneficial to CMU.” Smith said the FA looks at adjustments for inflation, rates at other schools and bargains for a percentage increase each year.

After negotiations in 2011 resulted in a work stoppage, Smith is hopeful discussions for the new contract, beginning in 2014, will go better.

“Last time, a job action was taken for the first time in CMU history,” Smith said.

“It was mostly the approach taken. Faculty need to feel respected and appreciated.

Making sure that happens will keep future negotiations as un-disruptive as possible.

It seems to me it’s in everybody’s best interest to go as smoothly as possible.”

Faculty input during negotiations is crucial, Smith said, to the university’s commitment to shared governance.

He explained that teachers should get paid for what they are worth.

“Faculty tend to be the kind of people who don’t like being told to do something,” Smith said. “They like to have some input, that’s the life of the mind. The important thing is one has to feel they’re getting what they’re worth. It’s not as though if you dump a ton of money on someone they’ll do a better job.”

Vice Provost of Academic Administration Ray Christie said the university looks into the wide array of issues and concerns brought to negotiations by each party. He could not comment on the content of the confidential union negotiations, but said even the process of adjusting pay rates is an important topic of discussion.

“The No. 1 thing is the interests the parties bring to the table,” Christie said. “Not just the number of concerns, but the complexity of each of one.

There are certain economic interests as well. The procedures are interests themselves, as we are trying to make sure the process is fair and expedient.

“The number one thing

is to reach an agreement, to have open and ongoing negotiations.”

The contract for tenured faculty at CMU is organized into four academic ranks: Instructor, assistant professor, associate professor and full professor. According to Executive Director of Faculty Personnel Services Abigail Byman, most entry-level teachers are hired as assistant professors, with a base-line annual pay of $54,431 in 2013.

After six years, assistant professors may apply to become associate professors.

Byman said the university has received about 30 applications for faculty promotions this year, a typical amount, she said.

“For the health of the institution, it’s good to have faculty that are ready to move up,” she said. “It’s essential to the faculty that they don’t just sit in rank. It shows they’re proactive.”

Byman said although the application process can be challenging, most teachers are able to make the grade.

To be considered for a promotion, tenured faculty must be active in three categories of work, Byman said. Once instructors are proficient in teaching, scholarly activities including research and publication, and service to the university, they may apply to be promoted via their department.

“It’s more often than not that they get the promotions,” Byman said. “Professors understand the level of work they need to be active in.

Most of them are up for it, but it’s a lot of work.”

After applying to the department and being approved, a teacher is reviewed by the dean of their college.

Following a positive review at the college level, instructors must submit to a review from the provost, who makes a recommendation to the Board of Trustees.

“At every level it’s a challenge,” Byman said “The ultimate authority is with the Board of Trustees.” university@cm-life.com

MARINE RUN | CONTINUED FROM 1

Members ran 100 miles from Thurmont, Md., to Arlington National Cemetery, where Swisher is buried, and raised more than $25,000 for his three children to attend college.

“At that moment, we realized we’d kind of caught lightning in a bottle, and we wanted to continue in our endeavors,” Vice President of Always Brothers Brian O’Neill said.

Since then, Always Brothers has done several runs in honor of fallen soldiers and

has raised money for Military Families United of Michigan along the way.

Event organizer Dean Smith said the group hopes to raise $111,304 during the event to coincide with the date Ellsworth died.

MOUNT PLEASANT CITY MANAGER RESIGNING Mount Pleasant City Manager Kathie Grinzinger will be leaving her position after more than 30 years of service to the city.

Grinzinger, who has accepted a position with the Michigan Municipal League, notified Kathie Grinzinger city commissioners and other employees of her departure about a week ago, according to Mayor Kathy Ling.

Grinzinger has had professional connections with the Michigan Municipal League for some time now, Ling said, and finding a replacement for her will be no easy task.

“She has been a valuable asset to the city,” Ling said. “She’s very knowledgeable and really cares about the city.”

Grinzinger, who will take her new position at the end of this year, told The Morning Sun that her work with the Michigan Municipal League will allow her to have continued contact with the Mount Pleasant community as she aides in executive searches for Michigan cities.

“I love this community and I love these people,” Grinzinger told The Morning Sun. “It’s very difficult and it’s bittersweet.”

Jasmine Cofield was navigating the rigors of higher education before most of her peers learned to drive.

Now a junior at Central Michigan University with three associate’s degrees from Mott Community College, Cofield is still pursuing her childhood dream of a life augmented by knowledge and success.

“You can’t be around her and not want to be successful,” said Cofield’s friend and fellow CMU MAC scholar James Horne. “She’s inspirational and academically focused. There’s nothing that will stop her. Jasmine sets the bar.”

The 19-year-old Flint native began taking college classes at age 14.

Cofield finished her studies at MCC and began a full load at CMU this fall, studying neuroscience and hoping to become a physician’s assistant.

Cofield said her academic success was never optional. During her time as a dual enrolled student in high school and college, she sacrificed her basketball career, but more surprisingly gave up one thing all students hold dearly.

“I never had a spring break,” she said. “Going to high school and college, the schedules never lined up. It was hard being non-traditional.

It was hard budgeting my time.”

Continuously earning top grades and maintaining a 4.0 GPA, Cofield received a full scholarship to attend CMU this year through the Shiawassee Regional Education Service District.

The first in her family to attend college, Cofield plans to go on to graduate studies after completing her bachelor’s degree.

Horne said Cofield’s unflinching dedication led her to sacrifice time on the basketball court, where the two met.

“Jasmine understands the whole concept of being a student,” Horne said. “She isn’t just going through the motions. We’ve had a class together almost every single semester, and she’s helped me with numbers of classes. She goes above and beyond.”

Initially playing as a small forward for Hamady High School’s varsity basketball team, Cofield also bonded in the paint with her mother, Carolyn. Since her daughter was a small child, Carolyn was set on Jasmine taking opportunities her mother was not afforded.

“I don’t play when it comes to college,” Carolyn said. “I was never pushed. As long as I got out of high school, that was it. I wanted to make sure she had the best opportunities.

With just a high school diploma, you’re not going to get very far.

There’s nothing in the streets.”

As mother and daughter worked through Jasmine’s education together, the mother never once questioned her daughter’s curiosity and will to be successful.

Carolyn fondly remembers Cofield

as an inquisitive 6th grader, questioning an unsuspecting math teacher on a complex problem.

“I knew she wouldn’t just take an answer; she had to investigate,” Carolyn said. “She’s not afraid to ask.

I first noticed she could be a leader at age 2. If a kid was in the wrong seat, she’d tell them.”

Carolyn said her oldest daughter Latasia, 27, a college graduate, works in New York. Her son Jamal, 28, went to ITT Technical Institute and served in Iraq for the past four years. The youngest, Deajah, is in ninth grade and looks up to Cofield as a mentor and role model.

“Her little sister looks up to Jasmine a whole lot,” Carolyn said. “As a mentor, Jasmine tells her what’s important and stays on top of things for her.”

As Cofield took the stage for her high school graduation, speaking before the graduating class of Hamady, she encouraged her classmates, shocked to discover her youth, that anyone can be successful if they try.

“Don’t let your age or background discourage you from surpassing what you think you are capable of,”

Cofield said. “The world has so much to offer. What your parents didn’t do doesn’t matter.”

Several of her classmates were shocked to hear Cofield’s age during a lesson in a college Spanish class – while she was still in her mid teens.

“I was never treated any differently,” she said. “I liked that no one knew.

I was the youngest one, but no one noticed the difference. When I said I was 15, they were like, ‘Oh, my God.’” But as she was exposed to collegelevel academics from an early age, Cofield was glad to have an advantage over many students coming to college for the first time several years later.

“You can use the years most freshmen make mistakes,” Cofield said of dual enrolling. “It gets your feet wet and gives you a clear picture of what you want to do. You won’t have to waste years and money. I don’t want to be at the end of my freshman year changing majors.”

To others who might fear they can’t make it in college, Cofield is a living example that willpower alone drives the quest for knowledge and self-fulfillment.

“Sometimes people are capable of going to college, but can’t afford it,” Cofield said. “(The program) gave me the confidence I needed. I never expected anything, no reward for doing well academically. I do it for my own good.” studentlife@ cm-life.com

On the Rox members pay tribute to the past during 10th anniversary concert

By Elizabeth Benson Staff Reporter

Members of the a cappella troupe On the Rox celebrated its 10th anniversary by reminiscing about the past and looking toward the future.

To start its 10th anniversary show, a presentation showcased the group’s 10-year history through photos from past performances to parties and everything in between.

Afterward, the current members of the group were introduced to thunderous cheers and applause.

Over the last decade, On the Rox has accumulated many fans, both new and old.

“I have a friend in the group, so I came to support her,” said Woodhaven junior Jon Konarska. “I just started going to the shows this year, and I love them. They’re amazing. It just blows my mind that everything you hear is coming from people’s mouths.”

The support of the crowd was overpowering, as many of them cheered and held signs up for the performers to see.

“I saw them perform at Mock Rock and I thought they were awesome,” said Heartland senior Nick Rensel.

“When I heard about the concert, I decided to come with a group of friends. I thought it would be cool, so we all came to check it out.”

On the Rox President Angela DiGiovanni said the group has improved immensely over the last decade.

“I think over time, we’ve greatly improved,” she said. “Now, we’re focusing on being better and sound-

ing like a more professional group.

We are the only all-female a cappella group on campus, and we really try to focus on the music and the performers. We’ve grown as friends, too.”

On the Rox, DiGiovanni said, is striving to give itself a higher profile on campus and elsewhere moving forward.

“We recently sang the national anthem at a Tigers game in Detroit, and we’re set to perform for (Gov. Rick Snyder) at a holiday party in the coming months,” she said.

After intermission, On the Rox alumni joined the current members on stage to sing a rendition of Pat Benetar’s “Heartbreaker.”

One alum, Kaylie Hutcheson, told the audience the group struggled to

come up with its name at its inception.

“We were almost going to be Zack Attack, from ‘Saved by the Bell,’” Hutcheson said.

The alums onstage were met with hugs and enthusiastic applause as they joined the girls.

“I can’t believe how much it’s changed over time, since when it was just an idea in their minds,” said alum Carly Molloseau. “When I started, we only had a small handful of girls. It was tough to book gigs and take it seriously. But now, there are at least 15 girls up here performing, and they’re growing every year.”

Highest 2013 GPA among colleges belongs to Health Professions

By Mark Johnson Staff Reporter

The students in the College of Health Professions collectively have earned a higher GPA than students in the other colleges at Central Michigan University.

According to a report from the Office of Institutional Research, as of Spring 2013, the College of Health Professions had the highest average cumulative grade point average among authorized majors, at 3.18, of all academic colleges on campus.

Reneé Castellon, communications and gpas marketing coordinator for CHP: 3.18 the College of EHS: 3.16 Health ProfesCHSBS: 3.13 sions, credits the high average CST: 3.09 GPA to students CCFA: 3.04 who work hard CBA: 2.97 to do well in Average: 3.095 their classes both inside and outside of the program.

“We have looked to really bring in a lot of very qualified students,” Castellon said. “The students who do get into our programs really want to succeed, so they are working hard to do well in all of their classes.”

The college houses health-related programs including athletic training, health sciences and physical therapy.

Rene Shingles, program director for rehabilitation and medical sciences, agrees with Castellon, and said that despite the difficulty of many courses in the college, students still strive to succeed.

“I think we have some great students who come into our program,” Shingles said. “Our programs are academically challenging. Our students in athletic training and, I presume, in other majors have to do very well in some very tough courses, such as anatomy and physiology and also chemistry and statistics.”

The College of Business Administration was listed on the report as having the lowest cumulative average GPA, at 2.97, among authorized majors.

Accounting Department Chair Chad Stefaniak thinks the mark is pretty standard for the college.

“The three-point GPA seems to be the magic number that recruiters look for,” Stefaniak said.

“I would say that number makes sense for the average student.”

According to Stefaniak, many CBA majors have fairly heavy course loads.

He said the majority of accounting majors, if they want to become a certified public accountant, are mandated by the state to take 150 credit hours. Some students, he said, try to finish these hours as quickly as possible, which leads to a very heavy workload.

“For our students, there are some who try to finish these credits in four years, because of the financial benefits of finishing quickly,” Stefaniak said. “So they would have a pretty intense time getting through, especially with some of the higher end courses, which can be challenging for accounting students.”

Both Stefaniak and Castellon agree that GPA is an important factor when it comes to working in the outside world.

Castellon said the combination of a high GPA and excellent communication skills are critical in finding work in health professions.

“A high GPA is fairly important,” Castellon said. “People skills are also very important in the world of health professions, but a high GPA is definitely a plus. A higher GPA is definitely going to get you more looks.”

While GPA is important, Stefaniak said accounting firms are looking for more than impressive academic performance in college.

“Accounting firms are no longer just looking for the 4.0 student,” Stefaniak said. “They would rather see a lower GPA student who has work experience, who has well rounded transformational experiences, who has some sort of passion outside of school. In years past, the GPA used to be a substantial indicator, now it is like the barrier to entry.”

the latest sign that the United States is progressing on social issues at a pace not seen in decades.

On issues ranging from same-sex marriage to health care, Americans have shown over the past several years that they are clamoring for a more equitable, fair and tolerant society, and the most diverse generation this country has ever had — ours — is pushing the nation in that direction.

It wasn’t so long ago that widespread support on several social issues was unimaginable. For instance, just 40 percent of Americans backed same-sex marriage as recently as 2009, with 57 percent of the country opposed, according to Gallup.

Those numbers have essentially been flipped upside-down, with 54 percent of Americans in support and 43 percent opposed as of July.

On the issue of marijuana, it was just in 2006 when only 36 percent of voters supported legalization, with 60 percent opposed.

For further evidence of the United States’ social progressivism

in recent years, one only needs to look at our politics.

President George W. Bush won the election twice in 2000 and 2004 largely on his socially conservative stances, winning over enough swing voters because of his positions on gay marriage and abortion that he was able to secure two narrow victories.

In 2008, when President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party swept into power, even most liberal candidates, including Obama, avoided tackling social issues. That was especially true of same-sex marriage, which was viewed by campaigns as too divisive and unpopular of an issue to campaign on.

By 2012, that all changed. Obama became the first president to voice his support for same-sex marriage, and it became a major tenant of his party’s platform. Voters in Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana, and the U.S. Justice Department, usually unrelenting in

its pursuit against marijuana use, has largely let those states be. The Affordable Care Act, despite its embarrassingly shaky rollout, is set to make access to contraceptives and birth control the easiest it ever has been.

All of that would have been unthinkable even just five years ago.

But it’s happening in large part thanks to the activism of many in our generation, where support on issues such as those are the highest among any age group.

Our generation is often written off as a lazy, self-obsessed group who doesn’t give a damn about current affairs. One look at the momentous social change this country has experienced in recent years, though, would prove those critics wrong. In just a few short years, we, as a group, have altered the nation’s outlook on so many issues, and we’re just getting started.

It’s often said that change is slow, and it’s true. Same-sex marriage won’t be legalized nationally for quite some time still, and marijuana won’t be, either. But significant progress has been made in the states and in the polls.

Thanks to our generation, America is becoming a more tolerant, just and fair society, as it should.

Veterans don’t exist only on Veteran’s Day Nathan Clark

Staff Reporter Veterans Day — a day when everyone comes together to honor veterans for the sacrifices they’ve made in the name of freedom, or at least that’s what we keep telling ourselves.

Let’s face reality here: Veterans Day is another one of those holidays people don’t think about or even realize is coming up unless they’re involved with it somehow or someone brings it up in idle conversation.

Like many other holidays, nobody really cares much about it unless a day off of work or school is involved.

While relations between veterans and the public have improved over time, most people still don’t think about veterans unless they have an immediate family member serving in the military.

The student population of Central Michigan University is rife with people from various walks of life, and veterans have been as much a part of it as any other.

Veterans don’t just get bussed in for Veterans Day for a humble ceremony and photo-op — they are already here.

There are student veterans all around campus, in the lecture halls and in registered student organiza-

Central Michigan Life

Louise Sawaya is a sophomore from Westland who is majoring in biochemistry.

CM Life: Describe yourself in three words.

Louise Sawaya: Charismatic, passionate and intelligent.

What is the best part about being a Chippewa?

LS: The community aspect. Where I live, everyone is welcoming and friendly.

Some of you might have recently seen the extended live-action trailer for the latest installment in the monolithic war simulator franchise, “Call of Duty.”

In the interest of entertainment, it certainly managed to capture my attention, captivating me with a bigbudget spectacle of four gun-blazing gamer friends shooting up Las Vegas to cheery Frank Sinatra’s “I’m Gonna Live Till I Die.” Directed by James Mangold (“The Wolverine”) and featuring celebrity Megan Fox, whom I refuse to call an actress, the commercial is a lot of fun if taken at face value.

You have four average American males right in that sweet spot demographic of 18-25 having a jolly good time engaging in intense fire fights amid explosions and heavy casualties.

But after viewing it, I had a taste left in my mouth more sour than if I had just finished a specially-marked Mountain Dew with double XP. The most important facet of the advertisement was that the violence was portrayed as fun, and while I hate to be that guy, I think it’s important to look at this example in

tions. There might be one sitting next to you right now, but you’d never know it.

When most people think of a veteran, they imagine a clean-cut, 20-something person with a 1,000yard stare from back-to-back deployments in some hellhole.

In reality, we don’t look much different from any of you.

I’m a veteran. I served eight years in the Army and was deployed to Iraq twice. The first deployment was the invasion in 2003 and I was shot at on more than one occasion, but most people would never guess I was a veteran from way I look and act.

I’m the goofy fat guy who likes to bring people to the verge of laughter and goes home every evening to battle an attention-starved cat.

The only way someone finds out I’m a veteran is if I tell them for whatever reason, they notice the military pins on my backpack or if someone says something blatantly wrong about the military.

Most of the veterans at CMU are the same. We’re all trying to get a good education just like the rest of you.

Don’t assume you know how we are because you once watched “Full Metal Jacket” with your friends back in high school.

Being honored once a year is great and everything, but to me it’s just another day. When people say “Thank you for your service,” it’s also nice, but unnecessary unless you really mean it.

Personally, I appreciate it more when people are genuinely interested in my time in the service. As long as you can come up with a better question than “Did you kill anyone?”

I’ll gladly talk to you. the context of a culture that has been in non-stop war for the better part of the past century.

When I see war portrayed as entertainment or fun, I get cautious.

Not because violence in video games is detrimental or because I worry some can’t separate gaming from reality, however. Those are arguments to be had by more vehement protesters.

I get cautious because our perception of what war is has changed.

The horrors of war are becoming marginalized when presented to us as entertainment.

There is something to be said about how this dulls our idea of what the reality of armed conflict is.

I can’t help but think that, subliminally, this affects our attitudes toward war. Seeing four normal Americans unleash a hailstorm of bullets to Frank Sinatra is pretty grim, in retrospect.

You never see Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affect the elite macho men of “COD.” You never see the regret and fear as they mow through hundreds of inept enemy combatants each level.

When we forget that it should be hard to take a life, it puts us in a poor position.

I’d hate to see the general public think less critically about the consequences of flexing our military might because of how these consequences are tossed aside in popular culture.

Which brings me to my main point.

Inherently, I don’t believe that there is anything wrong with “Call of Duty” as a form of entertainment — if looked at critically. You are supposed to suspend disbelief when playing a video game and understand that what is being portrayed should only be taken for its entertainment value.

If anything can be taken away, let it be this: Have all the fun you want, but in the back of your head, empathize with what’s happening to the characters on screen. They’re not having nearly as much fun as you.

Follow us!

What is the best piece of advice you have ever gotten?

LS: To not care what anyone thinks of you.

% No, not legal

Majority of Americans support marijuana legalization

According to a recent Gallup poll, 58 percent favor legalizing marijuana

By Wyatt Bush Senior Reporter

Americans seem to be in favor of marijuana legalization for the first time since polling began on the issue.

A recent Gallup poll found that 58 percent of Americans favored legalizing the drug, a 32 percent increase in support since 2009.

Student Advocates for Medical and Recreational Cannabis President Ian Elliot said he was not shocked by these figures.

“I’m not surprised at all,” said the Cheboygan freshman.

“As more people find more uses for marijuana, more people know about it and it becomes more acceptable.”

Elliot added anything that can decrease government spending while increasing revenue, such as legalizing and taxing marijuana, is likely gain traction with the American public. “(The polling trends) show that laws are going to continue to change, and hopefully we can get some change in the federal law, as well,” he said. “The federal government is wasting its time when

it could be dealing with hard drugs, drug cartels and other criminal enterprises. There are many law-abiding citizens who are breaking the law simply by possession, and it’s a little disingenuous.”

The Gallup poll found that 35 percent of Republicans, 65 percent of Democrats and 62 percent of independents support marijuana legalization.

College Republicans Student Government Association Representative Casey Kreiner said there is a divide within the Republican Party on the issue of marijuana reform.

Regardless, he said he believed Republicans are unified in the belief that legalization is essentially a secondary issue.

“The Republican Party does have some debate and discussion on marijuana legalization, but I feel there’s a more general focus on economic issues and solving those issues,” the Houghton Lake junior said. “We mostly want to make this country competitive again on an economic scale.”

College Democrats Executive Vice President Candace Grooms said if marijuana

were to be legalized, proper precautions and regulations should be put in place.

“The legalization of marijuana, with any other substance the government declares legal, would have to be regulated to ensure safety of the American people,” Grooms said. “Marijuana, if legalized, will have a negative effect on society if precautions and necessary steps are not taken.”

The democratic process should prevail on marijuana legalization initiatives Grooms said. She cited 17 states as having marijuana decriminalization laws through ballot measures.

“If the citizens favor marijuana legalization, then the proper steps should be able to be taken to implement the law through a ballot proposal,” Grooms said.

Voters in Jackson, Lansing and Ferndale all passed measures this month decriminalizing small amounts of marijuana with at least 60 percent of the public’s support.

However, the conflict between local, federal and state laws remains.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said he would ignore any city-passed marijuana legalization/ decriminalization initiative

and enforce state and federal laws, which take precedence.

Although the majority of Americans support marijuana legalization, reform measures may not be arriving soon for Michiganders.

Political Science Department Chair Lawrence Sych said based on Michigan’s experience with medical marijuana, he did not anticipate any measures for legalization in the near future.

Sych said the only measures he expected to see passed by Michigan’s legislature would be efforts to clarify medical marijuana.

“One of the issues is the obtaining of medical marijuana,” Sych said. “It’s kind of a gray area of where you can get this, who the caregivers are and how much can you purchase from caregivers.”

Sych said repeal of Michigan’s current marijuana laws anytime soon is extremely unlikely.

“Because (marijuana legalization) was adopted through an initiative process, the legislature would need a supermajority vote to make changes,” Sych said. “I don’t think there would be that kind of support for reversing it.” metro@cm-life.com

Shooting for Success tournament raises more than $8K

By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

The Shooting for Success event raised more than $8,000 for an upcoming sports management conference.

The 3 on 3 basketball tournament, Sunday at the Student Activity Center, was organized by two classes of the PES 550: Sports Fundraising course. All proceeds from the event will go toward funding the Central Michigan University Sports Management Association Conference this spring and future scholarships in sports management.

“The money raised by the tournament will allow bigname speakers and companies to come to the conference and talk about the sports industry,” said public relations committee member and Caledonia senior Holly Orlowski. “It gives students the opportunities to network and meet with them. Many former students have gotten jobs because of the conference.”

Twenty-one teams faced off in 3-on-3 basketball matches throughout the afternoon, playing to 15 points. After three hours of competition, the final game was played between teams ‘Ooh Kill ‘Em

Luke’ and ‘Pink Pandas.’

In a close game, the ‘Pink Pandas’ won the championship.

“This is my second year in a row on the winning team,” said Shepherd graduate Lance Maney. “With plenty of games and all these giveaways, this was a really fun tournament.”

The tournament was organized by students under the direction of professor of physical education Scott Hirko. Divided into 10 committees, the 52 students planned the event over the course of the semester.

“It’s about having a good time in a friendly, engaging environment as well as raising money for the conference and scholarships,” Hirko said.

A free throw and trick shot competition were scheduled during the tournament. Students were able to take part in the contests for a fee of $2.

“It’s awesome that everyone gets to play a few games and that they have the skills competitions for spectators,” said St. John’s graduate student Jim Bishop.

The sport management conference will also receive funding from a silent auction that took place on Saturday night at The Cabin, 930 W. Broomfield St.

Proceeds of the event went to fund the Sport Management Association’s professional development conference.

Greenville sophomore Garrett York, a player on team ‘Captain Crunch’ and the ‘Cereal Killers,’ joined the competition after his friend in PES 550 told him about it.

“It was a blast and the games were really competitive,” York said. “I would absolutely come back next year.” studentlife@cm-life.com

“Seeing Without Sight” is a weekly feature in which Staff Reporter Kevin Andrews, who is blind, describes Mount Pleasant experiences from his perspective. This week, he visits Kaya Coffee House.

The door squeaks a bit as I walk into Kaya Coffee House. It’s quite warm inside — perhaps they can turn down the heat just a bit in here.

It’s after 5 p.m., and I can tell there’s a crowd in the front by the variety of chatter and laughter throughout the dining area.

The smell is kind of tricky to describe. It’s a mixture of coffee and some other aromas, some sweets and just the smell of a coffeehouse.

There are a couple of people studying at the first table I come to, so I ask if there are any in the front left open. It turns out the table just to the left of them is open, which is perfect because I don’t feel like searching everywhere.

I’ve been in here a number of times, so I know where the counter is. I walk to it, noticing the small rug underfoot as I approach to place my order. I notice the cash register drawer has just shut, so I say it’s safe to assume the person in front of me has gotten their change.

I’m looking to have something I have not yet tried on their menu and end up ordering the Casey Jones.

I pay, and the woman behind the counter hands me my change. She tells me it’ll be right out.

I thank her and make my way back to my table. I’m not one to eavesdrop, but due to the close proximity of the tables in here, I overhear the people I first ran into, now on my right. It sounds like they’re studying for chemistry because I can hear them talking about things being acidic or basic and protons, electrons and

Kevin Andrews Staff Reporter

neutrons, briefly reminding me of high school chemistry.

It is only a couple of moments later before someone brings my tea, soup and sandwich with a small bag of chips to my table. Over my light dinner there is some music in the background. I plug in a pair of earphones and listen to Pandora while I enjoy my food.

Despite them having put some ice cubes in the tea, it’s still steamy, so I don’t touch that for several minutes. The soup is also hot, but I brave it and try not to scald my tongue on the first few spoonfuls.

People come and go while I eat and sip on my tea. The door occasionally squeaks and a bit of a draft blows into the area.

I decide to read some of a Stephen King book on my iPhone as I drink my second mug of tea and enjoy the savory and flavorful cookies.

As I leave I notice it’s rather nippy out, so I zip up and head back to my residence hall, feeling content.

Student fundraiser names The Cabin best pizza in Mount Pleasant

By Katherine Ranzenberger Staff Reporter

Is it the crust or the sauce?

Maybe the cheese is the best part? A group of Central Michigan University Recreation, Parks and Leisure students set out to find the best pizza in Mount Pleasant and raised money for the Isabella County Soup Kitchen in the process.

Five locally-owned pizza shops competed in the business class-hosted fundraiser for best pizza in Mount Pleasant on Friday evening at O’Kelly’s Sports Bar, 2000 S. Mission St. After students and members of the community voted, The Cabin, 930 W. Broomfield St., was named the winner, beating Hunter’s Ale House, 4855 E. Blue Grass Road, which came in second place.

The Cabin, Hunter’s Ale House, Pisanello’s, The Grotto and Pizza King all brought their unique pizza recipes to the competition, hosted by an RPL 430

class. The class teaches students how to organize and run different fundraisers. Caledonia junior Cory Wormmeester was one of five students who organized the event and said he enjoyed the hands-on, real life experience.

“It was a group effort,” Wormmeester said. “We knew we wanted to do something at O’Kelly’s, but we didn’t know what. We all liked pizza, so we figured why not test them out?”

The group wanted to keep the contest local, so they chose their favorite pizza joints from within Mount Pleasant. Wormmeester said each member picked one place they wanted everyone to try so they could have a variety.

“We chose them because they stand out the most,” he said.

“We wanted everything to stay local. We picked what we like.

I’m here to taste test, too. Maybe someone can change my mind.”

The group planned the event from start to finish, Wormmeester said, and had to choose a

charity to donate the proceeds to.

They chose the Isabella County Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “(The Isabella County Soup Kitchen) was really easy to work with,” Wormmeester said. “It was something we all agreed on.

We wanted to keep it local.”

Hunter’s Ale House’s head chef Nick Hoke handed out pizza to people who came to the contest. Hunter’s offers something unique, Hoke said, because they do everything by hand, including rolling dough, making sauce and tossing the pizzas.

“Everything is made from scratch,” he said. “We’ve been trying everything we can to make the best pizza possible.

The way we prepare it makes the difference.”

Hoke also said Hunter’s Ale House and The Cabin have different pizza recipes despite having the same owner. studentlife@cm-life.com

Moore hall was constructed to house speech sciences

By Michael Nowak 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.

Moore Hall, one of Central Michigan University’s busiest academic buildings, is named after longtime Vice President of Academic Affairs Wilbur E. Moore.

Moore Hall was opened in 1971 and was designed to accommodate the speech department and the dramatic arts. Costing Central Michigan University $5.5 million to build, Moore Hall includes Bush Theatre, the Kiva Auditorium and a four-story building for classrooms and offices.

Moore was named vice president of academic affairs after establishing himself as one of the nation’s best speech therapy researchers. He spent 20 years as a faculty member at CMU, previously teaching

at Colorado State University, the University of Iowa and Kent State University.

“What Moore is best known for is his summer speech clinic he started in 1946,” said Clarke Historical Library Research Specialist Bryan Whitledge. “They still use his program today.”

Moore’s summer speech program started in Warriner Hall, which limited his work so much that he actually had to hold therapy sessions in a hall closet.

The lack of facilities for the speech program was one of the key reasons why Moore Hall was built. The building featured a speech sciences area about seven times larger than the previous facilities stationed at Warriner.

More than $150,000 in speech pathology equipment was installed in Moore Hall when it was built, helping further develop the speech program at CMU. Including planning, official approvals and construction, it took more than five years to build.

Moore died in June 1988 at the age of 84. The following year, the university created the Wilbur Moore Prize, a scholarship program for students enrolled in CMU’s Department of Speech and Drama.

Moore was around to witness many milestones at CMU. He saw the school become an official university in 1959 and also served when it opened the School of Business and the CMU Honors Program. Moore also worked under three different presidents at CMU, including Charles Anspach and Judson Foust.

Before retiring in 1970, Moore was honored by University President William Boyd. “(Moore) epitomized several qualities for which we all have strived: Compassion for people as people, discipline through conviction and action and an appreciation for interrelatedness of the mental and physical,” Boyd said during the ceremony. university@cm-life.com

Bradford sits while women’s basketball wins

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Without its star player, junior guard Crystal Bradford, women’s basketball dominated Massachusetts in its first game since the NCAA tournament loss against Oklahoma.

Bradford was suspended due to a violation of team rules, but it didn’t slow the Central Michigan offense as it opened the season by putting up 105 points and cruising to the 105-61 victory with help from everyone on the roster.

“All five starters were

clicking,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “To get everyone some time and experience is just going to help us down the road.”

The Chippewas started the game in dominating fashion.

By the time the first half was over, CMU had a comfortable 45-28 lead over the Minutewomen. Being on the road for the first game of the season had no adverse effect on CMU, as it had nearly twice the efficiency as UMass as far as field goal percentage was concerned (44.1 percent) in the first half.

The Chippewas also grabbed 33 rebounds in the first half alone.

They continued to put it on the Minutewomen into the second half, extending the lead to 30 points fairly early on in the second half. They did not let up from there, as they continued to dominate until the end of the game, scoring more than 100 points in the process.

Junior forward Jas’mine Bracey had her first career double-double in the Chippewas victory, with 14 points and 13 rebounds.

“We were all excited,” Bracey said. “It was good to see everyone out there contributing and shooting the ball well. It felt good to get out there and get a win. Everyone has been anxious and my teammates helped me a lot. I knew we had a small starting five, so I was crashing the boards hard.”

Junior guard Kerby Tamm, also had a double-double, with 10 points and 14 rebounds for the game. Tamm also had four assists.

“We went with a four guard lineup, and Tamm is one of the

most fundamental rebounders we have.” Guevara said. “She has a pretty good nose for the ball.”

Senior guard Niki DiGulio had 20 points to go with a pair of rebounds for the Chippewas.

With the first win of the season under its belt, the Chippewas will take to the court again at 2 p.m. next Sunday in Lexington, Ky. against the No. 7 ranked Kentucky. sports@cm-life.com

CMU 101, Manchester 49: Men’s basketball dominates Division III Spartans in season opener at home

By Kristopher Lodes Sports Editor

At the first media timeout with 15:31 remaining in the first half, the score was 9-8 Manchester.

That lead didn’t last, as the next media timeout came five minutes later with Central Michigan up 26-15, leading to the eventual 101-49 blowout.

“They came out well and knocking down shots right away,” said sophomore forward John Simons. “Our intensity picked up and we got a bunch of steals and easy points.”

I didn’t take long for the Chippewas to show their superiority, as they made it difficult for the Spartans to even cross half court.

The team stole a handful of in-bounds plays, intercepted passes, stole balls after missing the offensive rebounds and caused a five second violation while turning the turnovers into points.

“There were a few times where we got a steal and a bucket, steal and a bucket,” said head coach Keno Davis.

“When you play half court, you rarely get those (seven or

eight point) swings.”

Manchester was left without a single point for well over seven minutes as it scored a lay-up with 3:30 to go in the first half to give the team 17 points, while CMU was shooting 47.2 percent with 46 points by the final media timeout of the first half (3:29).

“We got a lot of energy from our students in that time,” Simons said.

Simons led the offensive outburst with a team-high 27 points, breaking his personal high of 17, while shooting 10-of-13 from the field, threeof-five from three-point range and four-of-four from the free throw line.

He also led the team with nine rebounds.

“Most of my shots came off good passes and most of my looks were easy looks,” Simons said. “I was just able to knock my shots down and get some easy buckets.”

The team was solid on the night offensively, shooting 48.6 percent from the floor.

Sophomore guard Chris Fowler was behind Simons with seven points while dishing out seven assists. Fresh-

man guard Braylon Rayson had a strong night as well with 12 points.

“It shows what we can do offensively,” Davis said. “Even on a night where we didn’t shoot well from three (25 percent), it’s hard to believe you can score 100 points and shoot like that from outside.”

Sophomore guard Austin Stewart got the start after coming off the bench against Lake Superior State and he finished with eight points, eight rebounds, five steals and two assists. Sophomore guard Rayshawn Simmons got the start against LSSU and not against the Spartans.

He had eight points, six assists and six rebounds.

“Our guys offensively have a lot of confidence in what they do, and I think they’re only going to get better,” Davis said. “We’re going to be a tough team to defend.”

With a 2:30 p.m. tipoff, it was no surprise to see some empty seats in McGuirk Arena, but no seats were open in the student section, as CMU gave away free T-shirts to students as they came to the game.

Klub Keno was up and in the

game from start to finish, something Davis and his staff has been working to achieve since he took over in April 2012.

“I really compliment the students who came out in

full force,” Davis said. “If we continue to have fan support like that, it’s going to lead to some good success here.”

Field hockey loses MAC tournament championship following upset

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Senior forward Bailey McKeon battles for the ball against a Miami (Ohio) player during Saturday’s MAC Championship game. Chippewas lost 2-0.

After a comeback victory against Kent State on Friday, field hockey fell short in the Mid-American Conference tournament championship to Miami (Ohio) 2-0 on Saturday.

It was the third time in four years that CMU had lost deep into the tournament. The RedHawks only surrendered two shots from the Chippewas and only one on target.

After a scoreless half, a pair of penalty corners gave Miami the tow goal advantage.

The RedHawks finished the game with an astounding 18 shots, 10 of which were on target with goals

from senior forward Alyssa Logan and sophomore midfielder and All-MAC first team player Bea Dechant.

Sophomore goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds was strong in net, facing 10 shots and allowing two nearly unstoppable goals from penalty corners.

“We hung in there really well. I thought we looked a lot better in the first half than we did in the second half,” said head field hockey coach Cristy Freese. “A tough loss, but even tougher to watch the other team celebrating.”

The Miami backline was stellar and had almost a perfect game. CMU lost in double overtime to the RedHawks in the final game of the season — a game that

had MAC title implications.

In that match, Miami managed 27 total shots with 17 on net. In both matches, the Chippewas could not generate enough chances against its defense.

The win meant back-toback Mid-American Conference tournament champions for the RedHawks. It was the fourth time in five years that Miami had made it into the championship game, losing back-to-back in the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

It was a tough loss for the team, but even tougher for the seniors. The victory on Friday was the first win against Kent State for the seniors and their first championship game berth. sports@cm-life.com

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Defensive shut down leads to victory

By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

Gregory Cornwell | Staff Photographer Graduate student Katie Schuette jumps up for a hit as the Chippewas face Western Michigan on Saturday at McGuirk Arena. Schuette had six kills on the game as the Chippewas lost 3-2.

Volleyball loses pair of weekend home games lead to CMU in sets four and five, winning the final two sets 25-16 and 15-7.

A victory Saturday would have given the Chippewas a two game lead over Eastern Michigan and Buffalo for the final playoff spot with two games to go. It also would have tied them with Kent State for the seventh seed, since all three teams also lost Saturday.

Olson says the health of senior setter Kelly Maxwell — who had 36 of her 49 assists in the first three sets — is crucial for the team. “I know Kelly’s in pretty rough shape tonight,� Olson said. “I know going five (sets) tonight didn’t help us. With her injury, the longer it goes, the tougher it is on her. She did incredible.�

With the team’s next game scheduled for Thursday instead of Friday, it gives

By Taylor DesOrmeau & Joe Judd Staff Reporters

Between a 25-8 victory and a 25-19 victory in the first two sets Saturday, it looked like volleyball was going to cruise to victory against rival Western Michigan.

The Chippewas were two points from victory in the third set with the score tied at 23 after coming back from a six-point deficit, but that would be as close as they would get to victory, as they lost to the Broncos 3-2. “Our team put forth a tremendous effort tonight and we were on fire in sets one and two,� said head coach Erik Olson. “Western picked it up in sets three, four and five.�

The Broncos harnessed the momentum from set three and never relinquished the

Maxwell less time to recover from her injury. “We’re obviously upset about the outcome but like coach said, there’s a quick turnaround,� said senior middle blocker Danielle Gotham. “We know we have to focus on what we need to do as individuals and for the team.�

FRIDAY

The Chippewas had no momentum on Friday, as they were swept by Northern Illinois at home.

It was a night where the team did not pass the ball well and the outcome of the match reflects in the box score. The Chippewas dropped the three sets by scores of 21-25, 18-25 and 19-25. Whenever they seemed like they were ready to take charge of the match, the Huskies would streak together five points.

“I thought Northern Illinois played a very good match tonight,� Olson said. “We know this team like the back of our hand and I think our focus out there was really poor tonight.�

Throughout the match, the team could not get anything going against NIU. Junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre did provide CMU with eight kills on the night, but cites lack of consistency as a reason for defeat. “We weren’t ourselves, and it’s hard to win a match like that,� McIntyre said.

CMU’s postseason hopes are riding on Thursday night’s match at home against Eastern Michigan.

If the Chippewas win Thursday, they will clinch a spot in the Mid-American Conference tournament.

Midway through the first half in the opener against Manchester, the men’s basketball team’s focus intensified.

It boxed out, rebounded and defended. For that seven-minute stretch, the Chippewas didn’t allow Manchester to score a single point.

That defense led to easy buckets, according to head coach Keno Davis. “I think especially with the way we play we need those streaks,� Davis said. “I think there were two different times in the game where we were able to make a couple of buckets.

We would get a steal and a bucket (and) all of a sudden it’s a seven or eight point swing.�

The team has been working on full court pressure during practice.

It’s starting to pay off and show glimpses of what it could be in the future. “That’s what you’re looking for,� Davis said. “You’re looking for those couple of times in a game where you are able to get the momentum and really put the other team on their heels. We’ve been working on our full court pressure every day and I think you saw some good glimpses of what it can be the future.�

Rebounding was a big factor during the stretch,

as CMU was visibly taller than Manchester.

Sophomore forward John Simons, aside from scoring a career high 27 points, grabbed nine rebounds. According to Simons, it was a dunk that set the team off into a defensive focus. “That was huge for us,� Simons said. “When that stretch hit, I feel like we got a lot of energy from our student section.

(Blake) Hibbitts had a big dunk that set the gym off and after that our intensity turned up. We got a bunch of steals and easy points.

Our energy was really high at that point.�

Sophomore guard Austin Stewart has shown major improvements from his freshman year. Stewart did it all against Manchester, scoring eight points, grabbing eight rebounds and nabbing five steals.

The team totaled 17 steals, with sophomore Austin Keel contributing two.

Keel believes that defensive stretch took Manchester out of their game plan and impacted them the rest of the game. “We really kept it up,�

Keel said. “That took them out of their whole game plan and they were scrambling from there. They did a good job overall, so props to them.�
