Life in brief university Professor presents Holocaust research on MONDAY Steve Hochstadt, history professor at Illinois College, will be presenting his research, “Seeing the Holocaust from Shanghai” of Jewish refugees who fled to Shanghai, China during the Holocaust 7 p.m. on Monday in Plachta Auditorium.

The research was inspired by his grandparents, who were Jewish refugees from Vietnam that fled to Shanghai to escape persecution. To complete the research, Hochstadt completed over 100 interviews of former refugees who now live in the United States and Europe.

Hochstadt has published many books based on his research including “Sources of the Holocaust” and “Exodus to Shanghai: Stories of Escape from the Third Reich.”

The event is free and open to the public.

Faculty address communication concern Faculty members spoke out about lack of notification about shooting threat

By Katherine Ranzenberger Staff Reporter

Faculty members are concerned about the communication of threats on campus after they claim administrators failed to inform students and faculty of a man who threatened “a shooting” in Pearce Hall.

According to Central Michigan University Police, the father of a fixed-term faculty member threat-

ened to “fire shots” on Oct. 30.

CMUPD investigated the threat and determined there was no immediate danger.

However, some faculty members expressed dissatisfaction with how CMUPD and Faculty Personnel Services handled the case during Tuesday’s Academic Senate meeting.

“We want to know why we were not informed of the incidents,” said Katrina Piatek-Jimenez,

a mathematics faculty member.

“What actions have been taken?”

Provost Michael Gealt said CMUPD handled the investigation, and prosecution decisions are up to legal counsel and not the university.

“In terms of communication between faculty and students, there are some procedural problems that we did not communicate effectively,” Gealt said. “There have been discussions within the academic administration area. We are in the process of creating a new procedure.”

Gealt called the incident “unfortunate,” and told A-Senators that

the person has since been banned from campus. Any future incidents like this, he said, need to be communicated to students and faculty in a timely manner.

“We have to address the communication issue,” Gealt said.

“This is a large campus. There’s some variation from incident to incident. It’s something we have to discuss more.”

Michael Mamp, a human environmental studies faculty member, was teaching in Pearce at the time of the incident. w a-senate | 2

Undergraduate students could facilitate a breakthrough in diabetic research

By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Seniors Adrienne Bradley and Megan Grainer have been spending their time at college helping mankind and solving one of its foremost medical problems: Type II diabetes.

“We are looking at proteins from altering diet and exercise and how it’s going to affect diabetes,” said Grainer, from Farmington. “If we can figure out like one protein that helps in that pathway for insulin

sensitivity, that could at least help someone else that’s maybe looking at a way bigger picture.”

As undergraduates, it is not the norm for Bradley and Grainer to be working in the lab. But for Health Sciences Assistant Professor Naveen Sharma – who has a ratio of six undergraduates working for him and only two graduates – graduate status means less to him if he’s working with students willing to take on projects with big initiative.

“After a while, you’re teaching the same thing to Ph. D students as you are to undergraduate students, (so) the learning curve is sometimes equally as steep,” Sharma said. “It just sort of shows that if you are dedicated enough, if you want to work hard, you can achieve pretty complicated tasks.”

When Sharma reached out to students in his various classes for help with his research, Bradley and Grainer surged forward to claim the opportunity. Both are goal-driven

women who value the chance they have been given to learn new skills and get ahead of the game.

“One of the things that grabbed hold of me toward Sharma’s research is because African Americans have the highest percentage of diabetes,” said Bradley, from Troy. “And given the fact that I am African American, or whatever, that’s just another way that I can help my community.” w Research | 2

CMU hosted STEM summit highlights need for diversity

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Boasting an undergraduate engineering program among the nation’s top 100 and a developing state-of-the-art $95 million Biosciences Building, Central Michigan University’s programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields lead the way in education and enrollment.

A university press release Tuesday revealed that despite CMU’s success, STEM programs nationwide are suffering.

“The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that jobs in STEM areas will grow 17 percent by 2018, nearly double the growth for non-STEM fields,” reads the press

release. “Most will remain vacant because there will not be enough qualified workers to fill them.”

In an effort to combat this, presidents from regional colleges like Alma, Saginaw Valley State University, Delta College, MidMichigan Community College and Northwood University were called to Mount Pleasant on Thursday to attend the STEM Impact Initiative Summit. President George Ross spoke for CMU on the panel in McGuirk Arena.

Ross weighed in on the lack of diversity within STEM fields and how to encourage the integration of women and individuals of color into the fold. w STEM | 2

English Language Institute helps international students build skills

research | continued from 1 The unique opprotunity is not lost on Bradley and Grainer, who are hoping to reap a lot of benefits from their research. Personal satisfaction, skills that most undergraduates do not have and getting published are among them.

“For us to have our names on something that is published is a big thing when we both want to get our master’s and Ph. D’s. That’s huge,” Grainer said. “It would get us into a lot of places.”

STEM | continued from 1 “We do know that 75 percent of enrolled students in college around this region are either female or students of color, but they’re only filling 45 percent of those STEM jobs,” Ross said.

“We’re addressing that here at CMU.” Ross went on to say that over the next six to 10 years, STEM careers will outgrow other careers and that individuals within the STEM and art fields will make 26-30 percent more than nonSTEM graduates. He also said non-STEM jobs will still require STEM related teachings, such as mathematics and technology.

“It’s not just what our students learn here at CMU – they learn a lot,” Ross said.

“It’s what they do with that knowledge and learning. Our students leave CMU with internships, getting ready to leave here to go into those permanent positions.”

Internships he listed include those offered by Dow Corning and Dow Chemical.

If the research does yield a potential finding, Sharma would write it up, send it to a trade journal like “Diabetes” or “The American Journal of Physiology,” and a board would review their findings.

From there, the board would decide whether it is worth publishing, ask for a revision or reject the finding altogether.

For the most part it takes a long time to do research, and a lot of attention to detail.

Mistakes waste time and resources but they also are bound to happen, Sharma said.

According to Bradley, dealing with mistakes and not letting them get her down is

one of the biggest things she learned from the job. “[I learned] that I need to be patient and that it’s OK to do things more than once to get your results. You’re not going to be like good at something the first time around.”

For the two seniors, the practice involved with doing research and having it published is paramount, but it doesn’t trump the satisfaction of knowing that they helped find a treatment for a disease that affects so many.

“Just being able to be a part of an important aspect in preventing a major disease that affects millions and millions of people,” Bradley said.

also a topic discussion by many of the president. Christine Hammond, president of Mid-Michigan Community College, said in 2012, 46 percent of students who earned a STEM bachelor’s or master’s degree will have earned a portion of these credits at a community college.

“Educational access and the convenience of community college are vital factors for people in our region in keeping the doors open for those who want to remain in their home communities, their home state,” she said. “(Roughly) 90 percent of the U.S. population lives within 25 miles of a community college. Study at a community college can help us to stem, yes pun intended, the brain drain.”

Ross echoed the sentiment, believing that it was necessary to start even earlier than high school and college in order to recruit students into STEM fields.

“We have to get students ready before they get to the universities or the college, we’re talking earlier – preschool, kindergarten, between those ages of zero and eight,” Ross said. “(We have to get them) excited about math, excited about sci-

ence – frankly excited about learning.”

Donald Bachand, president of Saginaw Valley State University, honed in on subpar math skills at the middle school level as being one of the reasons why STEM fields are lacking. He said that through working with elementary and middle school level teachers, who deal with large numbers of students on a regular basis, an impact in the STEM field could be made very efficiently.

“The result of the professional development for K12 teachers is rather enormous as these teachers impact hundreds and hundreds of students in academic years,” Bachand said. “(By focusing on STEM early on) we can impact thousands of students in this region very quickly in a very positive way.”

As of the 2013-14 school year, CMU’s College of Science and Technology has “2,176 students signed as STEM disciplines and conferred 645 undergraduate degrees,” according to a university press release as of October 23, 2014. This shows a 23 percent increase in majors and a 38 percent increase in undergraduate degrees over the last five years.

were very concerned for their safety. They were basically told by the police that they were safe. It was really concerning to me that when someone walked up and down the hallway saying they were going to shoot everyone, the initial response we got was, ‘Too bad. Teach your

class anyway.’”

Gealt deemed that “an inappropriate response.”

Laura Frey, a counseling and special education faculty member, said President George Ross will now be involved in the decision to release information on incidents like the one from Pearce Hall.

Retraining the brain to acquire a new language sounds too difficult to some, but freshmen Assil Ghari and Reham Alhudaithi from Saudi Arabia are taking 20 hours of English a week to do just that.

They are enrolled in a program called the English Language Institute.

This institute gives international students the opportunity to learn how to read, write, and speak at the level required of them to succeed at Central Michigan University — or any other university if that is their plan.

“If a student wants to study at Central Michigan University, but needs more English in order to get in, then we offer them — we’re one of the ways that students can meet CMU’s language requirements for regular admission,” said ELI Director Richard Forest. “We’re kind of a pre-university program in a lot of ways.”

ELI gives classes in various subjects like reading and writing, integrated skills and grammar. It also offers students tutors and conversation partners.

Conversation partners are in extreme demand — there are not enough volunteers willing to meet and speak with an ELI student for an hour a week.

“We have a lot of students in the ELI right now who want to have conversation partners, and we don’t have enough volunteers,” Forest said. “Anyone who is interested in meeting people from another country, getting to know another culture, maybe they are thinking about study abroad themselves, we have people who are interested, who would want to meet.”

International students often struggle to meet domestic students, Forest said. While some students may be naturally outgoing, for the most ELI students it seems scary, he added, especially if students are not confident in their English-speaking abilities.

“If you think about it, how do you meet new people?” Forest said. “[International students] don’t have that network of people that already know people. They are probably not involved in any of those shared activities yet. It’s really hard to meet people if you are not already connected.”

When she first came to CMU, Alhudaithi said she felt, “excited and a little bit afraid like from the new things, like meeting new people. I don’t know how they will be with me ... now I feel comfortable — too much.”

Alhudaithi said she wants to learn English for the convenience.

“It’s now become, like, the first language,” Alhudaithi said. “In our country we use it. When we travel to another city, the most common language is English.”

Ghari enjoys the large diversity of people found in ELI. He said there is nowhere on campus quite like it. “[ELI] prepares you to interact with different kinds of people, you see,” Ghari said. “It also prepares your English very well to help you understand what’s going on around you.”

Q&A

with student musician James Hawkins

By Sydney Smith | Assistant Student Life Editor

I

f you frequent downtown Mount Pleasant on the weekends, you’ve probably heard him.

Gladwin senior James Hawkins has been playing guitar and singing downtown for the past year, but he’s not playing in the bars or for open-mic night — he plays outside on the street.

While he plays covers, most passersby don’t know that he’s a serious musician, complete with a profile on iTunes and an EP of recorded music.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Hawkins to find out his philosophies on music, inspirations and why he’s braving the cold to perform.

BRIEFS THIS DAY IN HISTORY

DATING SERVICE OFFERED AT CMU On this day in history, Friday Nov. 14, 1969, Central Michigan Life reported on a dating service soon to come to campus. The service, Digital Dan Cupid, cost $2 per person and featured scientifically generated multiple-choice questions based on the individual’s values and interests.

The questions were worded to draw out the person’s true personality. The way it worked was a student wishing to participate would pick up a questionnaire form in the Bovee University Center.

Men would be matched with six different names and “an additional name for those adventurous souls who want an unmatched challenge.”

Women would receive the same number of matches.

Everyone’s names would be entered into the service’s files for eight weeks, but if they wanted to contact any of their matches, they had to do it individually.

The questionnaire was a service of the Central Michigan University Dating-Matching Service, an organization headquartered in Merrill Hall, and formed of CMU students who were “spurred by the tremendous number of men and women roaming the campus alone,” to do something about it.

Andrea Peck, Senior Reporter

CML: Why do you play music outside on the street?

HAWKINS: Sometimes people will walk up to me and say, “oh, you must be doing this for money,” but I have three reasons. I get to share the experience that I have with music with other people, and that is my ultimate goal. The next is that people want physical evidence. There’s so many musicians online making their own music that don’t go out into the physical world and play and it sparks skepticism of the listener because they can’t really see them do that. Not the most important but probably the most exciting reason I play is networking.

CML: What keeps you going back outside and performing, even as it gets colder?

The following incidents were reported between 12 a.m. on Nov. 10 and 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 12 by the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

Nov 10

HAWKINS: Any time I go

outside, I call it “the movement.” It’s one of my favorite things to do now and it goes beyond the music. I bring extra instruments outside so people can play with me. The first person that picks up the drum is just as important as me, because to start the movement, we need the leader, and then you need your first follower. Then you have a tambourine player, then another drum player, and all of a sudden you have a band that’s never met before and we’re connecting in a way that we don’t need to know anything about each other to have this moment. It’s a moment worth having, I think.

CRIME LOG

CML: What do you hope comes from playing outside?

HAWKINS: In a way, I’m playing outside in hopes that right connection might walk past me that night, because it only takes that one connection, that one person really enjoyed the experience enough to maybe help me get to that next level.

CML: What got you started playing music? of genetically predisposed to being this way. We didn’t have cable or anything, but what we did have was a grand piano in the living room. Any time I was bored, mom and dad said, “it’s time to play the piano.”

CML: What is your songwriting process?

HAWKINS: The biggest thing I focus on is, “What makes something

listenable?” Another big thing is to not be cliche — not allowing myself to write something that people expect to hear or have heard before. Evolving a unique sound of my own is important. This will be hours and hours of me singing the same phrase over and over again and picking which inflection I want to have. I will have thousands and thousands of the same four measure phrases and I choose from that.

HAWKINS: I think I found the beginning of it. It’s still going to be evolving. I guess I would define it as “a refreshing, authentic, newfound pop.” It’s something that you could hear on the radio, but you wouldn’t necessarily say sounds like something else.

CML: You’re a business major, but do you want to make your living with music?

HAWKINS: I fully intend to make music my living. Music

and I have an unconditional mutual love for each other. It’s almost as if I need music in a way and music needs me. I absolutely need music in my life.

CML: What’s the most meaningful song you’ve written?

HAWKINS: I wrote a song for my father on Father’s Day. A 6-foot-3-inch man cried, and he never

cries. I feel like that was one of my more important pieces. No one has heard it besides my dad.

That was a real integral part of me becoming a more sincere and genuine writer, I think. My dad has been my biggest advocate.

Students have several options to give back to neighbors in need

Stop ignoring inequality Paige Sheffield Columnist

inter is upon, us and an influx of impoverished residents at homeless shelters and soup kitchens is imminent. Last year, Isabella County’s homeless shelter, which shifts between local

churches, was met with success in just its first year.

There are about 150 homeless people in Isabella County.

In the first year of operation at the shelter, 49 individuals were sheltered, including three families with young children. The shelter averaged nine guests per night, helped nine guests gain permanent housing, and helped six guests obtain employment due to the stability of housing.

If people are to change their lives, they need an address.

But when all else fails, we can move beyond the harmful stereotypes associated with homelessness. A simple smile or kind word will be undoubtedly significant to a person in possibly the worst segment of their life.

I am more than a statistic I can’t remember the last time I could wear short sleeves without thinking about it.

If I wear short sleeves, people will stare at my arms. I will no longer be a person to them. I will be a stigma, a statistic, a stereotype. They will stop looking at my face and start looking at my scars.

I started self-harming during my first year at Central Michigan University. After a history of dealing with mental illness, the

Unlike the stereotypes perpetuated by society, many aren’t there by choice.

Often perceived as drug-addicted and helpless, the destitute are a diverse group of people. Many could be suffering from mental disabilities, simply unable to maneuver mainstream society on their own.

This means many of our neighbors in need are scraping by to feed their families. Perhaps it’s just saving money on donated food, receiving free clothes for their children, or having a gift for Christmas to brighten the year of a child in need.

Humanity is a powerful tool, and our student body provides an

extreme environment change didn’t do me any good. That year was the loneliest of my life, and as much as I am ashamed to admit, I don’t handle loneliness well.

When I felt alone, I thought no one would care whether or not, I hurt myself. That’s what hurt me the most. The problem with thinking this way is that it ignores the people in my life that do care.

There are only a handful of people who know that I struggled with self-harm. This is because

enormous segment of our community’s volunteer pool. Tom Olver, president of United Way of Isabella County, estimated more than 20 affiliated non-profits in this community draw about 60 percent of their volunteers from our student body.

While we can’t ask these students to view their academics as secondary, we should demand that they work to uplift the community.

Only when we can all look beyond our privilege, and the reality becomes apparent, can we begin to work to be the people this community deserves.

Through our efforts to uplift the lives of those in need, we will have the holiday season we all

truly need.

Many of us are thinking about how to change the world. Let’s start with this community. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, or homeless shelter.

Before you leave for break, donate the leftover food your parents will soon replace.

Your community needs your help.

To give back, contact the Isabella Community Kitchen at 989-7727392, or at ICSK.org. The rotating homeless shelter can be contacted through Isabella County Restoration House, 989-774-2424 or online at icrhouse.org.

Those looking to volunteer with United Way of Isabella County can call 989-773-9863, or go to unitedwayisabella.org.

there have been multiple occasions when I wore short sleeves on the wrong day or someone found blood-stained tissues in the bathroom.

I expected anger in their reactions, or even indifference. Many people would see something like that and choose to look the other way. My friends did the opposite.

They confronted me directly but with compassion and care.

I still struggle even speaking the words “self-harm” out loud.

The amount of shame and embarrassment that comes with admitting this is something that keeps people who self-harm in the dark, sometimes until horrible things happen.

To put it bluntly, the stereotypes of people who self-harm as

“looking for attention” or “emo” are disgusting. It comes along with real mental illnesses that will go untreated unless people feel comfortable speaking about it.

So, I will wear short sleeves if I please. I will be open about it to let people know they can be open too. I will let others stare at my scars, and I will let them judge me. I do this because when I was a guide during Leadership Safari in August, a participant approached me and asked me about my scars.

Then, they showed me theirs.

I still talk to that person to this day whenever they are feeling like they need to hurt themselves.

Helping one person is worth getting countless double-takes from complete strangers every time I dare to wear a T-shirt.

Tons of stories have been written, videos have been shared, speeches have been given, statistics have been presented, and yet many people would still argue that feminism isn’t necessary. That women just like to play the victim and don’t actually face many problems.

That supporters of the movement are “overreacting” or are “too sensitive.” That inequality is “just the way things are.”

Inequality is so common and normal to us that we accept it.

We don’t fight it because we somehow believe that inequality is something that people just have to deal with. But if you take a second to think about it, the perception that inequality should simply be accepted really doesn’t make sense.

It doesn’t make sense to say that women are supposed to be paid less than men.

That women are supposed to walk at night with keys between their fingers and pepper spray in hand.

That women are supposed to be seen as submissive or less powerful or less dominant.

That women are supposed to be catcalled and accept it and even take it as a compliment.

That’s not “just the way things are.”

If we continue thinking that way, we will never be able to make a positive change. We can’t make progress if we don’t acknowledge the problem. If we don’t see that this inequality is not an inevitable fact of life, but instead, something embedded deep within our society that we should be working to change.

I’m not being sensitive and I’m not making inequality up.

Stop tuning out the problems in the world and start listening to the stories around you.

Realize that I’m not asking you to quit your job and give the job to a woman instead. I’m not asking for women to become more powerful than men.

I’m asking you to acknowledge the problem.

I’m asking you to think about the power you have and the power other people might not have. Listen to the stories.

Watch the videos.

Listen to the speeches. Observe the world around you. Educate yourself on the movement before you jump to conclusions, stereotype everyone involved, and choose to not support it.

When you see a woman carrying pepper spray, don’t blow it off as an aspect of life that we should all just accept.

When you hear someone catcall a woman, don’t just laugh or think, “boys will be boys” or shrug it off as the way things are.

When you witness inequality, don’t make excuses. Excuses are not answers or explanations; they are a way to ignore the true problem. Instead, think about what you can do to help change this socially constructed reality.

Community rallies around Nash Football player diagnosed with leukemia seeks compatible donor

By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Every time Derrick Nash gets knocked down, he is determined to get right back up.

When the Saginaw freshman was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May 2013, two weeks before his high school graduation, the outlook wasn’t good.

At first, Nash said doctors told him the leukemia might be terminal. After a few weeks, his body responded quickly to treatment, and he was able to leave the University of Michigan Health System Hospital in Ann Arbor.

“It isn’t the easiest to be completely honest,” Nash said.

“I would just say that my body got used to a schedule. My body learned how to cope with the chemotherapy.”

After joining the team in January on a limited basis and participating in the annual Maroon and Gold Spring game, Nash faced a relapse of his leukemia for about two months, preventing his participation in the 2014 football season.

Community members and students will have the opportunity to support Nash by attending two Be The Match Registry events held on campus through Michigan Blood later this week, and next week.

Nash is home in Saginaw receiving treatments. His recovery requires a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, there is no match for Nash in the Michigan Blood Be The Match Registry.

“To be completely honest, this is nothing I would want to continue to go through, but it’s just what I have to do,” he said.

“I’ll be back at CMU.” Nash’s teammates and com-

munity have rallied around him to host two Be The Match Registry events on campus in his honor. The first will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. outside the Kelly/Shorts Stadium prior to Saturday’s home game, and the second will take place from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, at various campus locations.

Caitlin Regan, a marrow recruitment specialist for Michigan Blood, said the chances of finding Nash a match in the registry are slim, but the registry always needs to be added to.

She explained that Nash will have a better chance at matching someone of a similar ethnic background.

“It’s very important for us to continue to diversify the registry. Currently the registry is composed of about 70 percent Caucasian donors,” she said.

Regan said planning for the campus registries takes a lot of time and effort and began when a registry that was held at Nash’s high school in Saginaw back in October.

Nash has received enormous support from his team and coach, so much so that a fourth table will be hosted specially by the team from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, in front of the Student Activity Center.

The other three registry tables will be set up in the Health Professions Building, the Charles V. Park Library and the East Campus residence halls.

Regan said that the idea of donating bone marrow can sometimes make people hesitant to register, but that it is much more simple and painless than it is portrayed in movies and on TV. “We’ve had a lot of really great support from the student groups,” she said. “We

are really hoping for a good turnout. Just getting one person is a success for us because it only takes one person really to save someone’s life.”

Jennifer Eskridge, a sophomore from Lapeer, knows just how true that statement can be.

She herself donated bone marrow last year through a procedure similar to giving plasma called a peripheral blood stem cell donation.

Eskridge’s donation went to a patient who is now fully recovered and out of the hospital. A subsequent registry event was held on campus after her donation to attract more students to the registry.

“I noticed that when I hosted my drive, a lot more people were willing to sign up when they heard exactly what it was,” she said. “Derrick’s a super nice guy, and I would hope CMU can pull together to help one of our own.”

Head Football Coach Dan Enos has been one of Nash’s biggest supporters. Enos said Nash called to let the him know about his original condition shortly after being signed to the team.

Nash, who hopes to be well enough to attend the registry drives on campus, said he is comforted by the support he finds around him.

“It just feels good that there’s a lot of support. I don’t have to go through something like this by myself,” he said.

Enos described Nash as tough, smart and having great ball skills when it comes to his performance on the field. Nash came to CMU as a potential running back for the team.

“When he gets back to full health,he’s going to be a very good player,” Enos said. ”He’ll be a contributor here, and he has a chance to be a special player.”

Veterans find strength in sharing stories with campus community

By Jared Kellum Staff Reporter

After watching a documentary portraying the struggles of female veterans that have experienced trauma, a Veterans panel discussion put into context some of the issues these veterans face in their transition from active duty to their civilian lives in the Charles V. Park Library Wednesday.

Topics of discussion for the panel ranged from sexual assault in the military to veterans receiving Veteran’s Assistance benefits.

Some panel members chose to share their own personal stories of experiencing sexual assault while serving in active duty. These emotional stories shocked those in attendance to the point where audible gasps could be heard coming from the crowd.

“You can’t change anything about it until you change the culture,” said Tara Emmendorfer, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.

According to the Department of Defense Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military, 5,061 reports of sexual assault were received in 2013. In these, a total of 5,518 victims were involved.

This year, there was a 50 percent increase in reporting, which the Department attributes to more victims coming forward and not

Hullender added this contributes to the pressure that these military families face.

Hajek currently works for the Disabled Veterans of America, as well as working with the Veterans’ Resource Center on campus.

“We are trying to make moves to where we are bettering veteran benefits,” Hajek said.

Panel members also shared mixed feelings about having women in combat roles. Some were against females serving in combat roles, while others were on the fence about the issue.

The panel acknowledged that women are absolutely capable of serving in combat roles, but some panel members had reservations about the dangers of rape and sexual assault that women face while serving on the battlefield.

Professors in the College of Science and Technology are collaborating with a Chinese university for a week long trip scheduled for December.

Jiangxi Normal University in Nanchang, China will host professors from the departments of biology and geology and a graduate student. Located about 2,000 kilometers south of Beijing, the school of 40,000 is about one-and-ahalf times the size of Central Michigan University.

CMU will benefit from the environmental sciences program at Jiangxi Normal that has strength in geographic information systems and remote sensing to aid Chinese researchers. They will be sampling at Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China.

David Zanatta, a professor in the biology department at CMU specializing in molecular ecology, said his particular organisms of interest are freshwater mussels, clams and various kinds of mol-

lusks. The area of the lake surveyed by researchers fluctuates dramatically between the wet and dry seasons, but in recent years the size of the lake has been decreasing overall. In a normal year the area of the lake averages 1,400 square miles.

The lake provides a habitat for half a million migratory birds and is a favorite destination for birding. During the winter, the lake becomes home to a large number of migrating Siberian cranes; up to 90 percent of these birds spend the winter there.

Species found in these waterways can be harmed because of the drastic shift in water levels.

“If those species disappear, it’s a good indication that there’s damage being done in the ecosystem,” Zanatta said.

“Ultimately if you lose biodiversity, you’re showing that’s a good indication that the water quality has been degraded.

That’s a good indication that you’re potentially going to harm human health as well.”

A different LEadership Senior guard Crystal Bradford, a driving force in the MAC and in the Chippewas’ starting lineup, is comfortable everywhere except one place: on the bench. After a season-ending injury that came at the worst possible time, she’s learning how to have an impact on the team without ever having to set foot on the court.

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Nearly eight months ago, Crystal Bradford’s basketball career took a turn for the worse.

After a summer of grueling rehabilitation, the reigning Mid-American Conference Player of the Year is back to prove she is still among the nation’s elite guards.

Last season’s Central Michigan University women’s basketball team played in the MAC Tournament without Bradford. The Chippewas leader sat out due to a season-ending knee injury.

“I had a great support system,” Bradford said. “I had my family, I had my friends, I had my coaches and I had my trainer helping me get back to where I needed to go.”

The senior guard said she sees this as her second opportunity.

“Recovery was a life lesson,” she said. “Basketball and life play a part with each other. Sometimes you will get at your peak and then you will take a tough loss. But you have to keep your head up and stay positive.”

That attitude helped the 2013 Olympic medalist cope with the frustration of dealing with the devastating setback.

“I just took it a day at a time,” Bradford said. “It wasn’t easy. Sometimes you can roll your ankle or something like that. A knee injury is nothing like that.”

Fellow senior Kerby Tamm said although Bradford is not at 100 percent, her presence and resiliency in the face of a destitute team sends a message to the rest of her counterparts.

“She brings such great energy to the floor,” Tamm said. “She’s a game changer. Having her go out last year was definitely a bummer for us. She’s on her way to coming back and making a great impact. We’re excited to have her back on the floor.”

Head coach Sue Guevara said that

Crystal Bradford

she is being cautious about her best talent despite growing anticipation for her return to the court and the obvious on-floor influence she has.

“Crystal wants to get in all the time, but right now we are on a basis of three minutes in, and seven minutes out,” Guevara said.

“I told her that the most important thing is for her to be 100 percent on Jan. 3 when we open with Kent State.”

Being patient is not something that comes naturally for Bradford.

“It’s (Guevara’s) call,”

she said. “What she feels, I’m comfortable with.

Just don’t keep me over there too long. I don’t want to get stiff. Coach knows when I’m ready to go, and if I’m sitting too long, I’ll let her know. I trust her 100 percent.”

Bradford said she has grown much more intellectually than she has physically from her summer of rehabilitation.

“I have grown mentally, spiritually and I have grown to be a leader,” she said.

“Sometimes you don’t have actions when you’re not able to play. So I have definitely learned to be a better leader.”

Bradford can not deny the sense of hesitation or doubt that creeps into her mind as she attempts to regain her natural aggression and scoring power.

“Sometimes getting back out there is so mental,” Bradford said.

“You have to remind yourself, ‘don’t limp, you’re ok you can run, you don’t have to limp.

I’m out there (on the court) physically, I just have to get back out there mentally.”

As she enters her final year at CMU and her team begins its run for a MAC title, Bradford asks fans to consider one thing above all else.

“I want people to remember my heart,” she said. “I want people to remember how hard I play and how I leave everything on the floor. I want you to get chills when you watch me play.”

Women’s hoops to host UMass in season opener

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Meagan Dullack | Photo Editor Members of the CMU Women’s Basketball team hold a scrimmage on Nov. 4 in McGuirk Arena.

Following an offseason of speculation and anticipation, the time has almost come for the Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team to tip off the 2014-15 season.

The Chippewas host the University of Massachusetts at 1 p.m. Sunday, at McGurik Arena.

CMU was a perfect 11-0 in Mount Pleasant during the 2013-14 campaign.

Senior forward Jas’Mine Bracey said starting the season at home should serve as major advantage for the Chippewas not just against UMass, but also in the overall chemistry of the team.

“We’re glad we are opening not on the road, but at home,” Bracey said. “We’re just ready

to see all of our fans. It’s going to get our confidence up.

It will get the freshmen used to playing at home.”

The Chippewas clobbered UMass by a score of 105-61 in last season’s opener.

Head coach Sue Guevara mentioned that most of CMU’s scoring in that game came from seniors and other upperclassmen.

“Those are points that are all gone,” Guevara said. “It’s not about last year, last year is over. It’s not what we did to UMass, it’s what are we going to do this year.”

Bracey, a senior this year, said she and the other veteran leaders will make sure the women do not overlook their first opponent.

“Just because we beat them last year, we don’t take any opponent lightly,” she said. “We don’t take them as

a joke. We take them as any other team we play.”

UMass finished 4-27 last season and was outscored by an average of 17.6 points per game in 2013-14.

The Minutemen are led this season by senior forward Kim Pierre-Louis, who led the team in points with 13.1 per game and was second on the squad with 6.6 rebounds per game.

Another player to watch for UMass will be sophomore forward Kymber Hill, who scored 13 points in last year’s matchup against the Chippewas.

CMU senior guard Jessica Green said Sunday’s game will be the first true indication the team will receive of “where they stand.”

“This is going to be our first big test,” Green said.

“This is definitely going

to expose what we need to work on for the future.”

Green said she is focusing so on the offense she is leading, as opposed to UMass’ gameplan.

“We’re focusing more on us and what we need to work on,” she said. “We’re just more so working on us and seeing what we need to work on.

For five of the Chippewas, this will be their final season opener wearing the maroon and gold, and Green wants nothing more than to get a win as their last CMU season begins.

“It’s bittersweet,” Green said. “But I’m ready to kick off this season, and I’m ready to attack for another win. I’m kind of excited and then sad at the same time because this will be it, but I still got a long season ahead of me. We just have to give it our best effort and see what happens Sunday.”

Women switch to pack line defense

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Head women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara plans to shake things up on defense for the Chippewas this season.

After giving up a league worst 77.3 points per game last season, Guevara has decided to implement the pack line defense.

“I hate the pack line,” Guevara said. “I hate playing against the pack line, and that’s exactly why we went to it.”

Mid-American Conference teams such as Bowling Green and Northern Illinois, who ranked first and second respectively in scoring defense last year, have used the scheme during the last three seasons.

“NIU is one of the best defenses in our conference,” Guevara said. “We always struggle against them, so I thought, ‘you know what?

We’re going to run that thing.”

Senior guard Crystal Bradford hopes the Chippewas’

pack-line defense can reach the level of efficiency of NIU. “I like (NIU) pack,” Bradford said. “I would break one defender and then I would be wondering where the other person came from. I love their help side. I would like to get to their level by the middle of the season.”

The defense is a hybrid of a soft zone and man-to-man scheme, that is used to limit penetration from teams that prefer to drive the ball to the basket.

“To me, it helps our help,” Guevara said. “We get so focused on our player when we’re off the ball, that when the ball starts penetrating in, we’re more concerned about our player as the ball is going to the basket.”

Guevara said she finally has the talent to run the strategy efficiently.

“We want to stop the ball from going inside, and I think we’re quick enough and long enough to do it,” she said.

Guevara said she put the defense in during the spring

and the veteran players have begun to become more comfortable with it.

“Our upperclassmen have an idea of what it is like,” she said. “I think they really like it. I haven’t put in any traps or anything yet, so it’s still in its infancy.”

One of the players Guevara said would benefit the most from the change in defense is junior transfer forward Lorreal Jones.

“Lorreal Jones is just a beast,” Guevara said. “She can jump and she can defend positions one through five. She can guard on the perimeter and she can guard in the post.”

Jones said that playing in the pack line scheme should improve the Chippewas defense tremendously.

“It doesn’t just rely on athleticism,” Jones said. “If you have a girl that isn’t as quick on her feet, she can still rely on the pack for her teammates to help her. It really forces you to trust your teammates.”

Basketball to tip off against Alma in regular season opener

Three freshmen to rotate in center slot as basketball team opens season

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

Men’s basketball in 2014-15 is a different team now that it has added one major key ingredient: Height.

“People through the airport won’t ask what sport we play this year,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “They’ll know we’re a basketball team. It’s funny, but you also understand where you are as a program.”

Freshmen forwards DaRohn Scott, Luke Meyer and redshirt freshman center Milos Cabarkapa will rotate for playing time at the center position this winter.

“DaRohn brings unbelievable athleticism, strength and yet has a long way to go to become a great player,” Davis said. “If the season were to start tomorrow, you’d see him in the rotation.

He’s progressed that much from day one.”

CMU ranked 277 out of 345 Division I teams with a -2.8 rebounding margin in 2013-14.

Stay up-to-date 24/7 online CM Life

“We just got beat on the boards because we didn’t have the bodies in there,” Davis said. “What do you do?

You get your players stronger and you also recruit bigger and stronger players.”

Scott, Meyer and Cabarkapa are the three tallest Chippewas on this year’s squad.

“My role on the team is to bring energy,” Scott said. “Be in there, be aggressive, grab rebounds, block shots, dunk the ball, just be that energy player.”

A 2014 McDonald’s AllAmerican nominee, Scott attended Grand Rapids Christian High School where he met CMU football player Kavon Frazier.

The junior defensive back had a hand in persuading Scott to come to CMU. “(I talked to) a few of my friends (about the decision),” Scott said. “Kavon talked to my Mom and said (he) came here and it just felt like home.”

Scott’s new home is around the rim at McGuirk Arena.

In the meantime, Scott’s height is already benefiting the Chippewas in training camp and preseason practice.

“Our team defense is getting better because we have to guard guys like that,” Davis said. “The last couple years we didn’t have to guard anybody on the inside during practice.”

Junior forwards Blake Hibbitts and John Simons played as the center last season, but both will likely move to a more natural power forward position with the new additions.

“With Luke, Milos and DaRohn, they’re going to match up pretty well with anybody that we’re going to go against,” Simons said.

“With Blake’s and my experience, I think that’ll help them. I don’t think that’s going to be a weak spot this year.”

Simons led the Chippewas in rebounding during the past two seasons, averaging 4.9 and 5.7 rebounds per game in 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively.

Regular season college basketball returns to Mount Pleasant this weekend.

Shifting its focus to a local opponent, the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team hosts Alma College at 7 p.m. Friday.

Head Coach Keno Davis has instructed his players to not take the Scots too lightly or view them any differently than they would a Mid-American Conference opponent.

“At times, your worry might be (overconfidence) when you have a team from a lower division coming in,” Davis said. “I wouldn’t expect that from our team this early in the season.”

After defeating Saginaw Valley State University 68-61 last Sunday in an exhibition game, Davis said many issues remain to be worked out of the Chippewas’ game plan.

“We have a lot of kinks and a lot of things to work through,” he said. “I’m not expecting the first game to be a finished product (of our team). We can get a lot better as the season goes on.”

Davis is not worried about nerves, however.

“Early in the year, in the non conference schedule, you’re going to see some nerves,” Davis said. “But also some things that we need to execute better on both sides of the ball.”

Sophomore guard Braylon Rayson said the squad is not preparing for Alma based on their profile in the greater

college basketball landscape.

“We don’t look at (Alma) as a Division III opponent,” Rayson said. “We just look at them just as another basketball program. They’re college athletes, so that’s how we think of them.”

The Dallas-native was one rebound short of a doubledouble in 26 minutes of action in CMU’s exhibition last week.

Scoring 23 points and shooting 60 percent from beyond the arc, Rayson was the difference in CMU’s victory.

“As you can see, we’re really big this year,” he said.

“That might be our advantage and their disadvantage.

But, like I said, they’re college athletes too, so we don’t really look down at them like that.”

Volleyball to play final matches of regular season

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

As they prepare for the final weekend of the regular season, the Central Michigan University volleyball team is 10-16 overall, and sit in the eighth and final spot of the Mid-American Conference tournament.

The Chippewas face a pair of must-win matches against Northern Illinois University and Western Michigan University this weekend.

“Let’s be honest, there is a little bit of pressure,” said freshman setter Kylie Copple. “I love pressure. We live for that kind of stuff.

That kind of pressure helps us thrive.”

If the CMU women win both matches, they will guarantee a spot MAC tournament. If they lose, it will be up to the other teams’ performances.

The University of Buffalo, which sits directly behind CMU in the conference standings, defeated CMU earlier in the season.

If the two teams are tied in conference play, the Bulls hold the tie breaker and would qualify for the tournament instead of the Chippewas.

“Our tournament hopes have been on the line all season,” said CMU coach Erik Olson. “That Buffalo match, there wouldn’t even be a conversation if (CMU) had that match back.”

The women are 3-5 in road matches this season and play at both NIU and WMU. Both the Broncos and Huskies took grabbed wins at McGuirk Arena earlier in the year and have already clinched their spots in the conference tournament.

“We didn’t make Northern play more than a set and half last time,” Olson said. “That’s the challenge. What’s the team going to do at their place, which is what we consider the nastiest environment.”

Olson had a similar prognosis for the matchup against WMU. “In the Western match we were so close,” he said.

“We know exactly what needs to be done to win these matches. We just have to execute.”

CMU junior and defensive specialist Kristen Reenders said the team is not taking the opportunity to keep its season going lightly.

“We’re taking it one game at a time,” Reenders said. “We’re playing this weekend like a championship weekend. If we play our best game on Friday and Saturday, we will be fine.”

With three seniors on the roster so close to a chance to make a tournament run, Copple said she would want nothing more than to give those veterans a chance to go out on the MAC’s largest volleyball stage.

“None of us want to see our seniors go out without going to the MAC tournament,” Copple said. “If we get those two games, I don’t think anyone can stop us.”

Olson said if nothing else, his team deserves a shot to compete against the conference’s top teams in postseason play.

“This would be pushing through that next barrier for (the team),” he said. “It’s been a season of learning.

I’m hoping we get some of that payback for all the hard work we put in all season.”

Fans to wear orange in support of football player with cancer since beating the cancer.

After returning to the doctor following ill feelings, Nash received bad news. His leukemia had returned.

“I can’t imagine what he’s going through,” Enos said.

“He was here and then (snap) he’s not here (with the team) anymore just like that.”

Saturday, Chippewas fans wearing orange in support of Leukemia awareness can purchase a special $10 game ticket.

In addition, Chippewa helmets will don orange ribbon stickers in support of Nash.

“Our team is certainly aware of the situation,” Enos said.

“Derrick is such a great kid.

He always tells me he doesn’t want to be a distraction. I don’t understand how guy’s can be like that, so strong.”

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

The last mass of orange to enter Kelly/Shorts Stadium ended with disaster for the Chippewas, as the Syracuse Orange unpeeled Central Michigan University’s then undefeated season, handing them a 40-3 blowout loss.

A large group of orange at Kelly/Shorts Stadium this Saturday will symbolize poise, determination and a second chance.

Defensive back Derrick Nash was supposed to redshirt in 2014 after overcoming a bout with Leukemia that kept him away from the Central Michigan University football team in 2013.

Head Coach Dan Enos let Nash keep his scholarship, and Nash was excited to be back on the football field.

“It’s been awhile since I’ve been out there,” Nash said before the season. “I want to get right back out there, but it takes time. You’ve got to have patience.”

Nash was supposed to dress and travel with the team to Kansas on Sept. 20 with a chance to return to the field for the first time

CMU vs. Miami (Ohio)

The Chippewas (6-4, 4-2 MAC) enter Saturday’s game as a 16-point favorite over Miami (Ohio) (2-8, 2-4 MAC).

The matchup pits the Chippewas top-ranked defense in the conference against one of the most high-flying offenses in the league.

MU senior quarterback Andrew Hendrix led the RedHawk offense.

Hendrix went to the BCS

Meagan Dullack | Photo Editor Sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush hands off the ball to junior running back Saylor Lavallii during the game against Eastern Michigan University on Nov. 1 at Rynearson Stadium.

National Championship with Notre Dame in the 2012 season as the backup quarterback and transferred to Miami (OH) when his offensive coordinator, Chuck Martin, became the head coach at Miami.

“He’s a good quarterback,” said senior linebacker Justin Cherocci.

“He’s smart. He makes good decisions. He’s kind of the headpiece of the offense that gets everything going.”

Hendrix ranks 13th nationally with 2,693 passing yards, one position behind Notre Dame’s Everett Golson.

The Chippewas have the 12th best defense nationally in terms of yards allowed (an average of 314.1 yards per game).

CMU gave up just 97 yards in its last game, a 38-7 win over EMU two weeks ago.

Hendrix has been less effective throwing the ball in his last two games, combining for only 216 yards.

Enos, meanwhile, said the CMU defense will be just as concerned about Hendrix’s running ability.

“He’s really hurt people running the football,” Enos said. “As I look at the game

Spalding a backfield option if Rawls not ready

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

Running the ball against Miami (Ohio) on Saturday could be a highlight for the Chippewas.

The Redhawks are 99th in the nation allowing 201 rushing yards per game.

But which back will carry the ball for the Chippewas this weekend?

Senior Thomas Rawls has not played since Oct. 25 against Buffalo when he injured his knee in the first quarter of the game.

Junior Saylor Lavallii, sophomore Martez Walker and freshman Devon Spalding had no problem filling in against Eastern Michigan University the following week combing for 283 rushing yards.

Head Coach Dan Enos said Rawls remains day-to-day heading into the matchup with Miami (Ohio).

“He did more today,” Enos said Wednesday. “(He) looked good. We’re optimistic.”

Spalding said Rawls morale has remained high despite his injury.

“He’s all for the team,” Spalding said. “For all of us running backs as well. As long as we’re doing good,

film, he’s taken off and run on a lot of people.”

Hendrix’s only playing time at Notre Dame was as the change-of-pace option at quarterback, where he primarily ran the ball.

In MU’s last two games, Hendrix ran for 104 yards against Kent State, but Western Michigan held him to eight yards on the ground the following week. “(WMU) had a good plan,” Enos said. “They did a very good job with him. We’ve got to keep them in front of us, keep them bottled up. We’ve got to

get our hands on some balls and we’ve got to try to disrupt their receivers. We’ve got to try to hit him as much as we can.”

Saturday’s game starts at 1 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN3.

While the Chippewas sit fourth in the MAC West standings, they’re not mathematically eliminated from being able to take the title and play in the Dec. 5 MAC Championship Game.

The Chippewas are currently bowl eligible, but one more win would likely solidify their chances of receiving a formal bowl invitation.

he’s happy.”

Spalding, a freshman, has given Chippewas fans a reason to be excited about the future of CMU’s running game.

“I’ve been telling everybody Devon Spalding is going to be good,” Enos said.

“We’ve been waiting for that game from him.”

Spalding had a great game against EMU earning 154 yards and two touchdowns

on 18 carries.

His first carry against the Eagles went for a 42-yard touchdown, giving CMU an early 21-0 lead.

Spalding credited the offensive line for his offensive outburst against EMU. “They called me and told me to stay ready if my number is called,” Spalding said. “I’m always ready. It’s football and what I’ve done since I was

eight years old. It wasn’t me, our offensive line opened bigger holes than I’ve ever seen playing college football. It was easy, I couldn’t do wrong with those holes.”

Spalding had just 55 total yards on 22 carries before that game.

“He’s got great speed,” Enos said. “He’s a little different than the other guys we have.

He’s very explosive.”
