Life in brief lacrosse Tisdale announces signing of inaugural lacrosse group Coach Sara Tisdale has completed assembling the inaugural Central Michigan University women’s lacrosse team.

The first-ever squad is comprised of 26 members and features soon-to-be student athletes from 13 different states.

Tisdale has spent the last 21 days traveling the country to select her unit, which is scheduled to begin the program’s first season in spring 2016.

“I was very pleased with the response we’ve gotten,” Tisdale said. “Our name is out there. The group we have has formed a great chemistry already.”

Through campus visits and frequent communication, the group has bettered their chances at seamless cohesion by the time they take the practice field.

“My expectations were exceeded in terms of talent,” Tisdale said. “We’ve been taking all the time we can to get as much ‘recruiting’ done as we can.”

The Chippewas will compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference. Tisdale said knowing your competition is an advantage to maintain successful recruiting efforts.

“Telling potential student athletes that they might have to go to Florida once or twice a year is not a bad thing,” Tisdale said days after her hiring. “It’s going to be a challenge for us, but it is a growing conference so we have a chance to be successful right away. It will also allow us to attract students from across the nation.”

CMU is the third university in the state to offer women’s lacrosse. University of Michigan and Detroit Mercy are the others.

Students brave frigid temperatures and snow fall to attend classes on Tuesday.

November snowfall closes Michigan universities

By Malachi Barrett News Reporter

Western Michigan University marked its earliest closure in 25 yearsdue to inclement weather Tuesday, while students in Mount Pleasant faced their own hardships getting to class through the snow and bitter cold.

Central Michigan University’s extreme weather policy is not unlike other universities in that it does not list specific cases that constitute a closure or delay of campus operations. Instead, the Board of Trustees delegated authority to President George Ross, who in turn assigned it to the Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes.

Wilkes ultimately decides whether to close campus after consulting with CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley and Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Stephen Lawrence, who can make the decision for Wilkes if he is not available.

“We decide based on safety in its most general terms,” Yeagley said. “Every situation is unique in Michigan. It could be because of excessive snowfall and crews can’t open roadways, or an ice storm, but the bottom line is we

want to stay open and stay in business.”

Both Eastern Michigan University and WMU have similar policies in that the decision to close is delegated to multiple authorities with no bottomline criteria. At Grand Valley State University, which also closed Tuesday, the decision is based on university road crews’ ability to keep campus roads and parking lots cleared.

“There isn’t a pre-determined temperature or snowfall amount that if met determines a delay or closure,” Lawrence said. “All factors are considered and then a decision is made based on all of the information we have at the time.”

Yeagley said in rare exceptions, such as the multi-car pile-up that temporarily shut down US-127 last year, the conditions of roads away from CMU’s campus do not impact their decision.

Shelby Township junior Rachel Deason said she sometimes feels uncomfortable on the roads while driving to campus from her apartment, especially for her morning classes. She said the main factor in her decision of coming to class is whether the roads are in good condition.

“With attendance policies, sometimes I feel like I don’t have much of a

After campus has been closed or classes delayed, a public information action plan will begin Action 1: Public Relations and Marketing will update the CMU telephone information line at (989) 774-7500.

Action 5: The Office of Information Technology will distribute a global Blackboard message to students.

Action 2: Public Relations and Marketing will contact the broadcast media and the CMU operator.

Action 6: CMU Police will contact the main desk in each residence hall and have the person on duty post notices and notify appropriate Residence Life staff.

Action 3: Public Relations and Marketing will place a message on CMU’s homepage cmich.edu Action 4: The Office of Information Technology will distribute an email to everyone in the CMU directory which includes everyone with a cmich.edu email address. choice,” Deason said. “I don’t think it is an excuse because if my professors are there, we should be, but it’s unfair to the people that have to commute.”

The timing of weather events plays largely in determining if CMU closes or delays classes that day, Yeagley said.

Winter storms that occur early in the morning generally result in a delay because Facilities Management has time to clear roadways by midday.

“We can’t impact the roads or community outside of CMU’s campus. We focus on what we can change,” Yeagley said. “If someone who lives in Alma or

WMU game is about more than football A new chapter in Central Michigan University football’s most heated rivalry will be written this weekend when the Western Michigan University Broncos invade Kelly/Shorts Stadium in hopes of reclaiming the coveted Victory Cannon Trophy.

With Saturday’s forecast calling for temperatures in the low 20s, some might suggest attendance for the Saturday’s game is sure to be low.

There is nothing more beautiful than a gutsy football game being played through a flurry of winter weather. Football in the snow can only truly be appreciated in person.

Players and fans alike will need to layer up in order to make it through an exciting afternoon at

Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

With multiple turnovers likely and shirtless fraternity brothers in the stands, the climate at Kelly/Shorts Stadium is sure to create excitement both on and off the field.

Here are some major storylines heading into the soon to be latest installment of the biggest event on this campus every other year:

The history

The Chippewas have dominated this rivalry during the last decade.

CMU greats like quarterback Dan LeFevour and wide reciever Antonio Brown have led the men in the maroon and gold to several victories over WMU in recent meetings.

Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

Those of you with parents who attended here can ask them about the “end of the world” parties on Main Street downtown that were ignited by the annual fall clash with WMU. Win or lose, celebrating our school spirit this weekend will be taking part in a tradition that is decades old.

What’s at stake

The Broncos and Chippewas have nearly identical records. Both teams have impressive non-conference victories notched into the belt they wore through the 2014 season.

Each team is bowl eligible, and a signature win in a rivalry game would absolutely solidify a bowl bid for both teams.

Action 7: CMU Police will send an automated emergency phone blast to select individuals.

Midland or wherever and believe they can’t make it (to CMU) safely because of the road conditions, they have every right not to.”

Lawrence said Facilities Management focuses on the commuter parking lots before residence hall parking lots.

Around 25 percent of sidewalks on campus are designated as efficient walking routes. Handicapped parking and ramps for students with disabilities receive top priority along with intersections, crosswalks and unloading docks, Lawrence said.

Conversely, a loss would put either team’s bowl hopes in serious danger.

The Broncos pounded Eastern Michigan University last weekend in Kalamazoo. The Chippewas did the same in Ypsilanti the week before.

Senior leaders on both teams have had this one circled on their calendar before the season began.

The Broncos are likely the only thing that stands between the Chippewas and a postseason football game.

The bottom line

Rivalries are the greatest part of college sports. This phenomenon occurs at a mild level in professional sport.

The reason is complex and simple at the same time: this is about us.

This football game symbolizes exaltation and prominence. It is a chance for everyone on this campus to stop what they are doing and focus on 105 men that are trying as hard as they can to make us proud.

Proud to be Chippewas.

SGA House passes directory privacy measure

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

The 2014-15 student directory — which lists the names, phone numbers and nonuniversity addresses for those who attend Central Michigan University — makes some students feel as though their privacy has been breached.

As quickly as a resolution was introduced in the Student Government Association, it was passed in the House.

SGA representative Joe Frey drafted the Resolution to Remove the Student Listings from the Campus Directory. The resolution calls for the removal of private

information such as home addresses and phone numbers from the directory. Frey could not be reached for comment by time of publication.

SGA Vice President Mariah Urueta, said although she did not bring the bill to the House, she could see the points Frey was trying to make.

“The (representative) who introduced this was concerned that (student’s) information is put in (the directory) unless you check a box (during registration),” Urueta said. “In terms of stalking purposes or dysfunctional family purposes — it’s also just our general right to not (have student informa-

It’s your life, why lose it I was introduced to death at the early age of six.

At the time, I thought my grandpa was just going to be taking a long nap. I remember my parents telling me that I would see him again someday, and he was leaving for a long time. I observed the people around me at the funeral, and when I looked at my grandfather in his casket, I saw the life taken out of him. I remember asking if he was going to wake up, but I never really received a response.

It wouldn’t be until nearly a decade later that I understood how he died — lung cancer.

The reason I’m sharing my story is not because he died of old age or because he was a smoker and died.

It’s because he quit smoking to live a better life and only a year out from retirement, he was diagnosed with stage four-lung cancer. He died soon after the diagnosis.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness month, and I always reflect on my grandpa’s death. I remind myself how terrible cigarettes are for you. My grandpa was my favorite person in the world.

From what I remember, he always knew how to make me laugh, and he was always a crowd favorite. He was offered a chance to play for the Tigers but turned it down, hoping for something better.

He was much like my father, and I see the striking resemblance of my grandpa when I look at my dad. I think of him every single day.

I remember lying next to him throughout his last few days. I can see the hospital bed set up in his house with the IVs attached to him. I remember him smiling as if nothing was going to happen.

I didn’t understand why he wouldn’t get up to play, and now it breaks my heart to think he was too weak to breathe while standing up.

tion public). That’s why the legislation was introduced.”

With a large vote in favor from the House, Urueta said the next step for this resolution is to bring it before a board of authority.

“Just like any other piece of legislation that’s passed through SGA right away, nothing goes into effect,” Urueta said. “Nothing happens until the leaders within the Student Government Association go to, not necessarily administration in this case, but whoever has access and administration abilities over (directory) information.”

Minor complaints from the House arose when students pointed out it was

Sarah Roebuck Student Life Editor Cigarettes can be so detrimental to one’s health.

Yes, I understand people get stressed, and they feel the need to smoke or whatever their reason might be, but you can prevent so many health risks by not smoking.

I understand life is unfair, but to see my grandma live on without him, who happens to still be a chain smoker, is something I will never understand. My grandpa wanted to improve his quality of life, but instead he was taken away from this world way too soon.

If my grandpa didn’t smoke in his younger years, there is a chance he would still be here today. Now that I understand just what smoking is, it makes me so sad to know he could have avoided lung cancer. Maybe it was his fate to die of lung cancer, but I can’t help but think that if he didn’t smoke, he would still be here today.

Photo of the day

already possible to exempt oneself from being placed in the student directory. One member of the House said there is a box to uncheck consent for directory listings and people are not reading that closely enough.

Urueta cited the bill’s passing as reason enough for wanting personal information taken out of the Campus Directory.

“Any legislation passed through SGA just shows that there’s student support for it,” she said.

As of now, there is no word as to whether or not the resolution will succeed in removing private information from the directory.

Not every case of lung cancer deals with smokers.

In fact, about 60 percent of lung cancer patients have never been smokers.

Lung cancer is responsible for about 28 percent of all cancer deaths.

My hope is that people will be more conscious of what they are doing to their bodies. It’s your life, but you control what happens.

Donations from districts Students collect canned goods to raise awareness and help the homeless for the holidays

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University’s Hunger and Homelessness Games seeks to lend an edge of friendly competition to helping out the less fortunate this holiday season.

The “Hunger Games” themed charity drive involves splitting each hall on campus up into districts and collecting food and clothing donations for the local Isabella County Soup Kitchen and Women’s Aid Shelter.

Sam Strahl, a Sault Ste. Marie senior and Herrig Hall resident assistant, said she came up with the idea after seeing a similar project on the website dosomething.org, which helps people think of fun volunteering opportunities with the resources they already have.

“The Hunger and Homelessness Games will last from Nov. 1-21. Three districts are eliminated at the end of each week,” Strahl said. “The three districts with the lowest donations for the week are eliminated.”

While every hall on campus is not paired up within their district, most are. When a district is eliminated, they can sponsor another district still in the running. When they continue donating, their donations go to help their sponsored district.

“For each district there is a game maker who is basically in charge of that district,” Strahl said. “Every Friday, all game makers give me a count of donations for the week. Saturdays, we pick up the donations.”

Strahl said there has been a tremendous response from the residence halls on campus. In the first week of donations, 379 donations were collected and 779 were collected in the second week.

Four districts are still in the running to be the winner: District One, Barnes and Robinson; District Two, Larzelere; District Three, Merrill and Sweeney; and District Nine, Cobb and Wheeler.

The Hunger and Homelessness Games is important, Strahl said, because it allows college students to help members of their community.

“I think needs like this often get overlooked,” she said. “This helps people realize that you can affect change with a small, simple action.”

Monica Bradburn | Staff Photographer All donations for the Hunger and Homelessness Games are kept in a storge room in Herrig Hall. Donations from the first two weeks of the games amount to over 1000 items.

Demetrius McCloud, a Detroit senior and District Five game maker, said he wanted to become involved because he liked the idea of the program.

“It’s all about helping others,” he said. “It’s such a great program.”

As a game maker, McCloud explained he not only encourages his residents and members of his district, but also anyone else who wants to help out.

Dearborn senior Christina Zardus helped Strahl with much of the original planning for the project.

“It helps with the community,” she said. “It gets CMU students involved in helping others. We’re obviously getting results and the program is definitely reaching students.”

Zardus said she loves being involved in the program because of the chance to help others.

“I was searching for something to be more passionate about,” she said. “For me, this is kind of the perfect combo.”

CMU CHARGE lab researches rare genetic syndrome

Courtesy Photo | CHARGE Lab Students may participate in research conducted in the CHARGE labs that help to better understand, aim to address and appropriately respond to people with CHARGE Syndrome.

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

When Tim Hartshorne’s son Jacob was born, he was different than the rest of the infants delivered that day.

Jacob was one of 15,000 births to carry a rare genetic disease caused by the mutation of a specific gene, commonly known as CHARGE syndrome.

In CHARGE, the C stands for coloboma, which results in a missing piece in the eye. H stands for heart defect. A is for atresia of the choanae, which means that the openings in the back of the nose that allow air to pass are blocked. The R is for retarded growth or development. G is for genital hypoplasia and the E is for ear malformations.

“The interesting thing about CHARGE is that the kids vary in the extent of which they are affected by the different anomalies,” Hartshorne said. “I think the most important things about it are the multi-sensory impairments. They have lots and lots of different kinds of sensory issues which

makes it very very challenging.”

The sensory impairments include visual impairments, an impaired sense of smell and balance problems because the mechanism that controls balance in the inner ear is malformed.

Hartshorne first decided to focus his research on CHARGE in the mid ’90s. When the lab was created, there were only one or two students.

Now the lab has grown to have seven active members, both graduate and undergraduate students.

Each student in the lab has a research project they are working in that focuses on some aspect of CHARGE syndrome. The meetings in the lab are directed towards keeping people on task with their projects and seeing if anyone needs assistance.

“I try to put people into their own projects,” Hartshorne said. “It’s a little exhausting for me because I’m supervising lots of projects, but it’s really nice because it give people a sense of identity when they’re in the lab that they are important and what they’re doing is significant.”

CMU steps up

The lab is essential for students when applying for graduate school and is equally important for graduate students who need research and dissertations.

“These guys know more about CHARGE syndrome than some of the professionals in the area of CHARGE syndrome,” Hartshorne said. “They get out there, and they get recognized.”

Megan Schmittel, a graduate student in the school of psychology from Warrenton, Mo., said the lab is extremely beneficial in terms of research and gathering ideas for topics and how to conduct them. Traveling is also a regular occurrence when students are a part of the CHARGE lab.

“Being able to bounce ideas off of Tim and your peers is really helpful in that respect. I get social aspects from it because we do have a lot of fun,” Schmittel said. “Being able to travel, meet people around the world, learn different things from different people and spread out and connect with other

professionals is great.”

Schmittel is researching the development of social play in kids with CHARGE syndrome and how it could possibly hinder their ability to develop social skills.

“I want to see if social skills develop differently in kids with charge and how that affects their behavior and their self-regulation, because we do see some behavior problems and some social issues in kids with CHARGE,” Schmittel said. “I’m wondering if there is a connection between if they have delayed social play, if that’s affecting social skills. Play is important in the development of those skills.”

Rachel Malta, a graduate student in the school of psychology from Roseville, is planning on working in school systems and hopes that the lab will help her work not only with children with CHARGE, but other’s as well.

“It’s also not just for CHARGE students, because a lot of these characteristics aren’t just for kids with CHARGE, but with deaf or blindness,” Malta said. “I could encounter kids that have that in general, and it really helps me learn how best I can address this in the schools.”

When working with kids with CHARGE, Schmittel said it is important to focus on the child and their individualities.

“You really have to look at the child in terms of how you’re going to intervene with them, and you can’t just have this kind of catch all intervention,” Schmittel said. “That taught me when I’m working with any child I need to look at the kid as a person. I need to figure out who they are as a person and what kind of challenges they’re facing instead of just changing them.”

Today, Hartshorne’s son is 25 years old and on the low functioning end of CHARGE syndrome.

“It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. He made my career,” Hartshorne said. “Because of Jacob, I travel the world. I’m an international expert on something. It’s just wonderful. I thank him all the time. Not everybody does research because of personal interest or personal investment.”

SCIT disperse 2 percenT Casino funds The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe will disperse its semi-annual 2 percent distribution of funds from the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort this week.

At 9 a.m. at the Tribal Operations building, 7070 E. Broadway, the Tribe will present a $2.13 million distribution to Isabella County, and will present a $739,556.68 distribution to both Arenac and Northern Bay County at 3 p.m. at the Standish-Sterling High School in Standish.

According to a press release from the Tribe, the funds come from Class III gaming at the casino. Isabella County had originally submitted 32 requests for distribution totaling $4.49 million.

Frank Cloutier, public relations director for the Tribe, said the tribal leadership ranks the requests in categories from one to five, with one being the most important and five being the least.

“Those agencies that are asking for technical things go to our planning agencies,” Cloutier said. “It’s the tribal leadership itself that makes the determinations.”

Cloutier said the semiannual distribution amount fluctuates and is dependent on tribal revenue.

Gaps in CMUPD, University Communications are a concern for all Weeks ago, a family member of a professor walked into Pearce Hall, started an altercation with the professor in front of frightened and confused students, and proceeded to utter the words — according to Central Michigan University Police — “do I have to go get a gun and shoot everyone in the room?”

CMUPD officers found the 70-yearold man within minutes outside the building in his vehicle, searching him immediately for a weapon. They did not find a weapon on his person.

No alert was issued. The incident went underreported by the police and university officials, and was only known to the community through a story published online by the local paper, The Morning Sun. Let me repeat that: Police did not issue a security alert, nor did University Communications acknowledge the event.

Each time we report on a story like this, the same question comes up for us in the newsroom and the student body: Why didn’t the university or the police notify us immediately after or while it was happening?

This is especially true in the case of

Ben Solis Editor-in-chief

the Delta Chi investigation last year, after one of its members was accused of sexually assaulting a student and violating the Student Code of Conduct.

During that investigation, I asked the same question: Where was the alert?

The answer, offered by CMUPD Chief Bill Yeagley and Shaun Holtgreive, executive director of Campus Life, was logical.

In May, the pair told Central Michigan Life that the Jeanne Clery Act states that campus alerts must be issued and should only be issued if there is a confirmation of an immediate threat or danger to campus or community safety. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities that receive federal student aid to disclose campus safety information. It also sets requirements for handling incidents of sexual violence and emergencies.

In the case of the Delta Chi situation, there was no active or immediate

threat to campus safety, according to Yeagley, since the report of the event was filed days to a week afterward.

So how does that explain not issuing an alert about a man threatening a classroom and an entire building’s safety?

Again, Yeagley’s argument is sound, but no more reassuring.

Because the man was believed to not have a weapon on him by the account of the witness calling into police dispatch for help, the police chief did not find it necessary to issue the alert. His decision went beyond sheer necessity: Yeagley is adamant that he will not use the alert system for anything other than what it is designed for.

What it is designed for, he said, is immediate danger, not the dissemination of police activity — even if that police activity involves the investigation of a potential, however unconfirmed threat.

“The reason I don’t want to use it for anything other than immediate threats is because it needs to be effective,” Yeagley told me in a set of conversations earlier in the week.

“It’s not that we don’t want to disclose

information to the community. We just want to make sure it’s done in a way that’s effective. We still want to provide information of what took place, but the right method is not the alert system.”

I’m pretty sure most students can understand his reasoning, even if they have voiced concern on social media that the school has a problem of not giving us timely information about bad news on campus, especially as it pertains to threats.

When asked about students feeling unsafe on campus, Yeagley said he feels “terrible.”

“My whole goal is to keep people safe, but also to make them feel safe,” he said. “While we followed all of our protocols and policies, there’s still a gap in communication. How? That’s what we’re going to find out.”

It’s good that he is, because it’s not just students who are worried — it’s faculty as well. At last week’s Academic Senate meeting, professors expressed a deep concern for the way the incident was handled, from the way the professor was treated by administration to the lack of information.

Clearly, Yeagley’s attempt to do so

has caused more mistrust of the police and the university’s ability to notify us of danger on campus.

But he is working on it.

Within a week of the incident, Yeagley sent emails to Sherry Knight, associate vice president of University Communications, and Dennis Armistead, executive director of Faculty Personnel Services. The emails called for a meeting to discuss which existing outlets for disseminating information to campus would be best to relay reports like this. They would include a full summary of the incident, what happened and what action police took to alleviate the situation.

The meeting is scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 24. He hopes that the meeting will help expedite a solution to releasing police information and making students more aware if an alert is not deemed appropriate.

I hope they do too.

As the nation begins to harbor more distrust of law enforcement and its ability to keep us safe, we cannot, and should not, allow that same sentiment take root against our own police department — even if they do deserve a hard look in terms of best practices.

AXO raises most money for Derby Days

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Courtesy Photo | Becca Papa Sophomore and Sigma Chi member Tommy Orlich gets his head shaved to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Alpha Chi Omega ran away with the victory in this year’s Derby Days competition, in which sororities teamed up with Sigma Chi to raise over $7,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

The six-day marathon of group events took place from Nov. 1-7. Scoring nearly 2,000 more points than the next sorority, Zeta Tau AlphaAlpha Chi secured a $1,000 reward from Sigma Chi for its philanthropy programs.

Alpha Chi Omega president Ashley Williams said that the sisters plan to donate the entirety of their winnings to domestic violence awareness. This has been their national organization’s philanthropy focus since 1992.

“This is an opportunity not only to support Sigma Chi, but ($1,000) will be a huge help to us,” the senior said.

The group independently raised $4,000 to promote domestic violence awareness in October and is eager to help even more. Alpha Chi’s other philanthropy events include Healthy Relationship Week in February and a still-in-progress antidomestic violence video that focuses on the issue from Central Michigan University’s perspective.

The events of Derby Days ranged from a pageant that lit up the Broadway Theater to a date auction at Wayside Central. Sisters earned points by donating money, winning contests and participating in special weeklong efforts such as Penny Wars and by ordering Derby Days shirts.

“Our date auction alone raised $4,000,” said Sophomore Tyler Grinblatt, the president of Sigma Chi. “I ran it last year, and that was one of our biggest years. This year is just blowing it out of

the water.”

The week-long competition was organized by sophomore John Glazier, Sigma Chi’s philanthropy chair.

“It really feels nice to say that we raised over $7,000 on campus,” Glazier said.

Glazier described the feeling of being finished with Derby Days as “bittersweet.”

“This has probably been my favorite out of all of them. (There’s been) a lot more involvement from the sorority community as a whole,” said senior Sigma Chi brother Blake Foster.

Foster’s fourth and last Derby Days was by far the most memorable, he said, bringing out record numbers in both fundraising and participation.

“It really makes you realize what you can really do if everyone participates, how much you can raise and how much you can help out others,” said Senior Josh Greenhalge, a member of Sigma

Chi’s philanthropy committee who emceed the pageant and the date auction.

The inclusion of Twitter and other social media elements into the contest gave the competition more of a buzz, Glazier explained.

Events such as Tag-ASig, which took place on Tuesday, Nov. 4, had sisters running around campus taking pictures with members of Sigma Chi and uploading them for points.

The Sigma Chi brothers also praised the Now app, made by Keeply Inc., for donating $500 dollars to the cause.

Delay in primary care practice purchase affects CMED program

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine has delayed its purchase of a primary care practice due to decreased revenue.

The college missed its budgeted revenue goal of $19.5 million by $2.7 million in the 2014-15 academic year, which would have aided in the purchase of the primary practice. The school’s actual total revenue was $16.8 million.

“We thought we were going to purchase a practice or two but couldn’t,” said Director of Marketing and Communications Jim Knight. “The college didn’t have the income to make the practices happen.”

CMED budgeted expenses of $25.8 million, but its actual expenses totaled $18.7 million.

Knight said expenses were reviewed carefully before decisions were made in order to assure the college’s financial stability for the 2015 fiscal year.

After evaluating projected expenses and deciding to hold off on the purchase of the practices, the college was short

$1.8 million the 2014 fiscal year.

The less than expected revenue is due to the college needing to establish a curriculum for fourth year students. After a fourth-year is implemented in to the college, the increase in revenue, with additional enrollment dollars, will follow and allow for the purchase of the practice next year.

The largest contributors to the college’s total revenue was the university, making up $5 million, and money being carried forward from the previous year, making up $4.8 million. ¨The university aids (CMED) in many ways,” Knight said. ¨We’re not seeing revenue from tuition because we don’t have the full four years yet.¨ CMED has enrolled just two classes of students.

Each year the college accepts 104 students to participate in a curriculum aimed around providing medical services in undeserved rural areas in Michigan.

A primary practice is essential to the CMED program.

The first two years of study for CMED students are spent on CMU’s main campus.

The curriculum requires third and fourth-year students to go through clinical training at medical facilities spread across central and northern Michigan.

In their third year, students will spend six months immersed in a primary care practice setting, in addition to hospital rotations. There, students gain hands-on experience from physicians at locations including Covenant Health Care and St. Mary’s of Michigan in Saginaw.

“Practices are really important to our college’s curriculum and students, but we had to make some cautious cutting,” Knight said. “The practice isn’t out of the picture. It may just be a year down the road instead.”

After a new dean is announced in January, CMED must complete its curriculum for fourth-year students. Once the curriculum is complete, the college expects an increase in revenue from tuition.

CMEDs founding dean Ernest Yoder resigned from his position in June. Yoder stepped down after leading the college for four years.

Shelter in Shanghai

German historian shares story of Jewish refugees

By Grant LeFaive Staff Reporter

Steve Hochstadt, a professor at Illinois State University and a renowned German historian, came to Central Michigan University’s Plachta Auditorium Monday night to explain the Holocaust from a perspective that’s almost unheard of: The story of Jewish refugees fleeing to Shanghai, China to escape Nazi persecution.

Hochstadt is the son and grandson of Jewish refugees who managed to escape by leaving Austria in 1938. His father fled Vienna for New York while his grandparents made the long, uncertain trip to Shanghai.

“The anti-Semitism which led to the Holocaust was a particularly European disease which was not catching in Asia,” Hochstadt said.

“The Japanese were gentle with their Jewish prisoners, and although the Germans frequently asked, encouraged, and demanded they do something about the Jews, they never did.”

Shanghai was not the preferred destination for Jews fleeing Europe, Hochstadt explained, but the immigration limits imposed by other countries, including the United States, severely limited their options. China demanded no paperwork and no special documentation from refugees, so families began to pour in during the late 1930s. However, soon after 1939, this means of escape was closed at both

ends by Germans and the Japanese.

This relatively open policy, while short-lived, led to 18,000 Jews taking up residence in Shanghai, where they lived in relative peace beside their Chinese neighbors and Japanese occupiers. The Japanese, who took Shanghai out of colonial control the same day as the attack on Pearl Harbor, treated Jews with

5,000 miles away.

Jews living in Shanghai knew almost nothing of the horrors of concentration camps and death marches.

Comparably, the situation in Japanese-controlled Shanghai was livable, and it was for this reason that many Shanghai refugees were silent with their stories for many years after the end of the war. Hochstadt’s work, which included interviewing

respect and had no interest in persecuting them.

“By looking at the Holocaust from Asia, I think I saw more than I had realized that anti-Semitism, racial hatred and the genocide the resulted is something that is culturally specific.

It isn’t about a particular people,” Hochstadt said.

Jews living in Shanghai were relegated to the slums of the city but were able to leave their designated area for work and travel. This was a far cry from the situation in the Warsaw ghetto

over 100 Jewish survivors, was a major breakthrough in an incredible story that may have otherwise been overshadowed by the horror of the genocide in Europe.

“It’s a responsibility. Issues of war and justice are some of the most important things to people,” said Eric Johnson, co-chair of the Abel Speaker’s Series Committee.

Johnson, a professor of German history and longtime friend of Hochstadt, welcomed the guest speaker onto the stage Monday night.

The two have been friends

since they were roommates at Brown University 48 years ago and have dedicated countless hours to studying the subject.

The Jewish presence in Shanghai may be an obscure subject for Americans, but the Chinese government is proud of the fact that Jewish refugees found asylum in their country. The Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, established in 2007, is the only museum in Shanghai dedicated to a foreign culture.

Monday night’s event was sponsored by the Dr. Harold Abel Endowed Lecture Series in the Study of Dictatorship, Democracy and Genocide, an ongoing program to educate students on the nature of such topics.

“This particular lectureship was established in 2009 in honor of Dr. Abel, who was an educator and president here at CMU for 10 years,” said Pamela Gates, dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Abel was the president of CMU from 1975-1985 and was CMU’s only Jewish president.

Soup and Substance event links archaeology with spirituality

By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Native American Heritage Month continued with a Soup and Substance event Thursday that opened students’ eyes to the peril facing Native American archaeological sites today.

Sponsored by the Office of Diversity Education, Native American Programs and the Ziibiwing Cultural Center in Mount Pleasant, the event was held at noon in the Bovee University Center Terrace Rooms. Titled “Torn: Rediscovering California’s Stolen Heritage,” the event featured free soup and rolls and a documentary presentation followed by a discussion from Judy Pamp, the assistant director of the Ziibiwing Cultural Center.

“The knowledge you pick up in life is not yours alone,” Pamp said. “How are you going to use that knowledge not only to create the life that you’re meant to create, but how are you going to share that knowledge with others? How are you going to use that knowledge to give back to your family, to your community?”

Students and community members gathered at the event were presented with issue of archaeological sites all over the country being looted and vandalized.

Often, as the documentary pointed out, these vandals go after and steal carved symbols in the rock called petroglyphs, many of which are hundreds and even thousands of years old. The symbols hold cultural and spiritual messages left by Native American ancestors.

By using large, powerful saws, looters remove the petroglyphs from the face of rock walls, taking with them not only a priceless artifact but also valuable information, knowledge and an important link in the history of Native Americans.

While laws such as the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 have been put in place to punish those who are caught looting or damaging sites like those containing petroglyphs, they have not been able to put a stop to people taking and uprooting pieces of Native American history.

“I bet a lot of people were surprised that picking up stuff that you find is a kind of looting. You’re messing with archaeology,” said David Ferris, a graduate student from Mount Pleasant.

Ferris, who is in the process of getting a certification in American Indian studies, already knew some of what was presented in the film and discussion, but is always interested in learning more about the Native American culture he lives so close to.

“Maybe you should know a little bit about your neighbors,” Ferris said. “I was surprised with how much effort people went through to steal petroglyphs.”

While many targeted petroglyphs are in California, Michigan boasts a spiritual site containing them in Cass City. Pamp shared with the audience stories of her visits to the site as a young child with elders from her tribe.

By explaining the cultural and spiritual importance of the petroglyphs, Pamp was able to showcase the other, nonlegal side of the issue, said Native American Programs

Director Colleen Green.

“I think as students in general they should be educated on all of the different aspects of the law,” she said.

“Judy gives a personal touch to the different laws that the documentary had shown

us, and it also provides an educational outlet to our students so they can share that with their peers and their families.”

Pamp said the Ziibiwing Cultural Center has been working with the State for

over 15 years to educate the Department of Natural Resources on the proper way to maintain Michigan petroglyphs, both physically and spiritually, the way tribes have done for hundreds of years.

Officer Browne serves campus and community

By Jacob Kahn Staff Writer

Every day police officers around the United States use profiling techniques to apprehend suspects, so Central Michigan Life decided to profile an officer in return.

Jeff Browne is a 39-yearold male, the Mount Pleasant Police Department’s public information officer and an active member of the Central Michigan University community.

As public information officer, Browne handles state, federal, and tribal court paperwork processing and deals with media relations. He is also a part of the new neighborhood resource unit, a collaborative effort comprised of police, fire and code enforcement agents.

Officer Browne, what does it mean to you to be a member of the police force?

People get hung up on having gunfights and police chases and all that. On some days you’re a counselor, some days you’re a person to get out there and help somebody.

What was your most meaningful experience as a police officer?

I had a sexual assault case, my first big case out of the academy, when I didn’t have a lot of investigative skills yet. A man was allegedly sexually assaulting his two nieces.

The family reported it, and it allowed me to bring justice to the young girls. I still see them today, and it’s very gratifying.

Was it that type of case that drew you to becoming a police officer?

No. Actually, I wasn’t always planning to be a cop, I was supposed to go to law school.

I didn’t know if I could sit behind a desk every day, so I did this internship in Lansing for over a year. I had to do an internship for school, and I found an agency hiring cadets, so I signed up and ended up doing my final paper on women

in law enforcement. From there, I went to the academy.

There is more scrutiny of police by the media. Can you tell me about your personal take as an officer?

You’re talking like Ferguson type stuff? The toughest thing about being a police officer is that I am expected to make split-second decisions and have everything be perfect.

I’m a human being. I’m no different than any other man or woman. I make mistakes.

From Los Angeles to New York City, there’s good and bad cops. In that case, I think it would have been important to get out in front of things and talk to the media right off the bat.

I’ve heard people say police are cracking down harder this year on party-

ing and crowds. Are they?

Well, back in 2010 we had a really horrible Welcome Weekend. This year again, Welcome Weekend was pretty rough. We had two different groups come up here to steal stuff, we had violence. This year was busy, a lot of people up to bad things. On Welcome Weekend, we didn’t have the staffing to handle the crowds.

But no, we’re not coming down harder. Statistically, we’re down on MIPs, down on open intoxicants, we’re down on almost all our small misdemeanors. Next year there’ll probably be a lot of enforcement the first few weeks of school because it sets the pace for the year.

What would you like to tell students at CMU? The big thing to remember is that you’re part of our community. Even if you’re only here for eight or nine months, you’re still part of this community.

Treat it like it’s your home. Get invested, help us out with local politics, volunteering. Take care of each other. I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but the take care message is important. If you see somebody in need, I don’t care if you know them or not, help them out. It makes Mount Pleasant great.

“The toughest thing about being a police officer is that I am expected to make splitsecond decisions and have everything be perfect. I’m a human being. I’m no different than any other man or woman. I make mistakes.”

SAPA members present to the U.S. Naval Academy.

Fall 2001: Men were officially allowed to be SAPAs. This meant they could present in SAPA programming and assist survivors, but they could not talk on the phones to survivors. “I didn’t think when a survivor called they would want to hear a man’s voice,” Thompson said.

2014 on: Currently, SAPA has 45 active advocates.

Each advocate goes through about 50 hours of training before being put on a phone. Along with running their crisis line and SAPA Chat, SAPA puts on a variety of programs every year to educate campus and beyond about their roles in stopping sexual aggression.

“Everything we do is a reaction to something,” Thompson said. “We are fulfilling a need.”

2012: Department of the Navy asked SAPA to present “No Zebras, No Excuses” in Japan, Virginia, Texas, Hawaii and aboard an aircraft carrier in San Diego.

2009: The first “Walk a Mile In Her Shoes” was organized. The annual event where men put on high heels and walk a mile to raise money for survivors of sexual aggression.

2013: SAPA changed their protocol to allow men to carry the phones and answer the crisis line. Thompson thought survivors would not respond well to hearing a man on the phone, but he was wrong.

“It didn’t make a damn bit of difference,” he said.

2008: Members of SAPA had their first Safe Zone training, to learn how to be more inclusive for LGBTQ survivors.

2007: In 2007, more SAPA programs were presented than any other year. They also established “Safe Room,” a shortterm, temporary housing for those who need alternative shelter due to experiences with sexual aggression.

ordinator, Thompson was given approval to start SAPA, which is now an internationally-recognized program.

SAPA runs a 24-hour crisis hotline for survivors and secondary survivors of sexual assault. Along with the hotline, they run SAPA Chat, put on programming throughout the year and are widely known for the performances during student orientations, titled “No Zebras, No Excuses.”

While SAPA is known across campus, the organization has evolved since it started in 1997.

2006: SAPA Chat, an online messaging system was started for survivors who feel more comfortable speaking that way.

2005: SAPA’s confidentiality model became required for all military branches. Prior to this, all survivors who disclosed in the military were required to take part in an investigation. This came from Thomspon speaking at the U.S. Coast Guard. “The first time I went, I was literally bombarded with survivors,” he said. “I realized they can’t talk to anyone if they didn’t want to go through a whole investigation.” A commander from the pentagon happened to be there, and Thompson explain more people would report if they could do so confidentially.

That same commander lobbied at the Pentagon and the Department of Defense for proposed legislation that passed. Now every military installation uses SAPA’s model for confidentiality.

2004: SAPA changed its name to Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates. Thompson said the new name encompasses more of what they do, because there is often an evolution of incidents before sexual assault.

Because of this experience, Thompson ventured around the country conducting research and interviewing rapists.

When he was hired at CMU, Thompson saw a lack of cohesion in dealing with sexual aggression.

“There was a disjointed approach to sexual assault,” he said. “There were good intentions but no coordination.

We needed peer-to-peer advocates because it would make students more likely to report.”

After being hired as the Sexual Assault Services co-

Spring 2001: Men in SAPA presented at the U.S. Naval Academy. SAPA presented four programs to the navy and each naval class was required to be there. “It was unreal,” Thompson said. “It was the biggest program SAPA had done at the time.”

2003: SAPA was involved with establishing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners at Central Michigan Community Hospital. This allowed survivors to have professional examiners if they needed to visit the hospital. This grant has since expired.

SAPA is working on getting it back.

self-defense techniques.

“I taught them what I thought to be appropriate,” Thompson said.

On April 12, a woman who had been taking the class approached Thompson, confiding in him that the rapist had sexually assaulted her. She told him she did everything he taught her, and it didn’t work.

“That was the first voice of a survivor I heard, and I still hear her every day,” Thompson said.

LIFE The evolution of advocacy

STYLE wednesDAY, nov. 19, 2014 | MOUNT PLEASANT, MICH. | ISSUE NO. 38 VOL. 96

January 1997: Thompson received the approval to start Sexual Assault Peer Advocates.

February 1997: The first group of applicants were interviewed to be advocates for SAPA; 12 female students were accepted.

April 1997: The first 40-hour training of the advocates was conducted by the Women’s Aid Shelter of Mount Pleasant. Nationally, the average training for peer advocates is 16 hours, Thompson said.

September 1997: SAPA’s 24-hour hotline was established. They could be reached through pagers. Shortly after, the advocates switched to cell phones. The first orientation program was performed. The cast consisted of theater students.

Fall 2000: Men in SAPA were invited to training to allow confidentiality, but were not allowed to use the phones. “Zebra” terminology was made and would later be used for “No Zebras, No Excuses.”

November 1998: SAPA established Safe Rides with a grant from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe for vans. The vans went downtown and back to campus. The CMU Police Department gave SAPA used police cars. “The cars don’t go off campus anymore, but it’s still a great service that CMU provides,” Thompson said.

Students are picked up by Safe Rides, established by SAPA.

Fall 1999: Seven men were interviewed and accepted as the first group of “1 in 4: Men Empowering Men.”

August 1998: SAPA expanded to 24 active advocates. All new students to CMU were required to attend the orientation program, “It Can Happen To You.” Some of the SAPAs were cast members. “That changed because survivors often wanted to talk after the performance, so they went to the actors,” Thompson said. “We realized that was a disaster because the actors weren’t trained to talk to survivors.”

March 1998: Thompson and members of SAPA attended their first national conference in Wisc. “SAPA was a major point of interest at the conference,” he said. “Other universities didn’t have confidential peer advocates.”

November 1997: CMU’s policies for responding to sexual assault gave confidentiality to the Residence Life staff.

September 1996: Sexual Assault Services was created as a division of CMU’s Counseling Center. “Before there was a disjointed approach to sexual assault,“ Thompson said.

“There were good intentions but no coordination. We needed peer-topeer advocates because it would make students more likely to report.”

October 1996: Steve Thompson was hired as the Sexual Assault Services Coordinator.

Dancing with different goals

By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

Being a member of the Infusion Dance team lets Pinckney sophomore Mary Teachout persue her hobby of dancing while still keeping school a top priority.

“You still want to do it, and you don’t want to stop doing it because you’re too busy or anything,” Teachout said.

Any kind of dance, whether it is in the form of studio, pom, cheerleading or high school dance teams, has been a part of some Central Michigan University students’ childhoods, including Teachout.

For them, the dancing doesn’t have to stop in college. CMU has a variety of different dance teams, all with unique styles and goals, allowing students to pursue dancing as a hobby or as a serious interest.

Infusion Dance Team

With two practices a week and occasional performances, Infusion is a close-knit dance team. There is less emphasis on competition and more on building relationships with teammates, strengthened by a shared love of dance.

“We really want to just help each other and just become better dancers and better people in general,” Teachout said. “It’s just like we try to build each other up.”

With mainly a jazz and lyrical dance style, Infusion looks for heart and a basic knowledge of dance as qualities during tryouts. Most members have experience in studio dance classes, pom or high school dance teams.

Any level of experience is considered for the team.

Monica Bradburn | Staff Photographer Troy junior Katherine Jabboury leaps into the air during a practice session with her dance team, Infusion Dance, in the Student Activity Center on Nov. 11.

CMU Dance Team

Drawn into the art by watching the CMU Dance Team perform at football and basketball games, Troy sophomore Courtney Linton joined them this year.

“Definitely being on the field and just seeing all of the students in front of you, just so excited to be there,” Linton said.

With all members on the team having pretty serious dance backgrounds, the CMU Dance Team goes to Nationals every year in addition to performing on the sidelines at every basketball and football game at CMU. “It’s just something I like doing for fun,” she said.

“It’s just always been a part of my life, so I feel like it would have been weird for me to stop dancing.”

In the midst of the early morning practices, Linton said this highcommitment dance team is teamoriented, and the members

often hang out and are friends outside of it.

In tryouts, the CMU Dance Team looks for team spirit in addition to good dance technique. This dance team is a little more serious, partly because they are associated with the CMU Athletic Department, Linton said. They also sell programs during the football games.

CMU Club Hip Hop

For South Lyon senior Paige Burnia, president of CMU Club Hip Hop, this will be her fourth year dancing on the team.

“I just love going to practice and knowing there’s no homework for these two hours,” Burnia said. “It is just me learning choreography and

dancing, and I don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Burnia came to college and wanted to keep dancing but wanted to be in the same sort of team environment of her high school dance team. Even though she joined the team with a foundation of dance, Burnia said some members have no past experience.

Regardless of skill, members are welcomed on to the team for the most part and develop their skills during team practices.

The team holds tryouts once every year but is having additional tryouts this spring. CMU Club Hip-Hop has many performances and competitions planned

for this year.

“We’re a fun-based group” Burnia said. “We hang out, we do our competitions, and we do our choreography of course, and it’s serious. But we don’t try to put too much emphasis on the seriousness.”

The dance style of the team is mainly hip-hop, but there are two different groups within the team, each with their own captain. One is more a street-style of hip-hop and the other one is more structured and dance company kind of a style. Narrowing the types of dance make it possible for more members to participate on a team where they don’t have to learn multiple styles.

At tryouts, potential members of CMU Club Hip-Hop are analyzed based on their dance style to see where they would best fit in on the team.

Rampage Dance Team

Dearborn Junior Jeree Spicer is the co-founder and treasurer of Rampage Dance Team.

Rampage embraces all

“I just love going to practice and knowing there’s no homework for these two hours. It is just me learning choreography and dancing, and I don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Paige Burnia, president of CMU Club Hip Hop

dance styles, including hiphop, ballet, lyrical and jazz.

“We’re versatile with everything,” Spicer said.

On top of school, it is required that members commit six hours of practice throughout the week.

Typically, Rampage Dance holds tryouts at the beginning of every semester based on the size of the existing team.

The team has 20 members and won’t be holding tryouts in the spring.

At tryouts, they look for the people with potential and effort.

“We know who’s there to be serious and who’s not,” Spicer said. “We’re just like a sports team where we want to make sure they’re trying.”

With performances and competitions planned for this year, Spicer said the dance team has come a long way and hopes to keep getting more competitive.

“Right now we’re just a team trying to get our name out there. We’re trying to leave a legacy here at Central Michigan,” Spicer said.

Global Brigades makes world of difference at home, abroad

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter

Courtesy Photo | Global Brigades In hopes of making a difference worldwide, Central Michigan University’s Global Brigades RSO travels to developing nations every spring to aid in creating sustainable-living conditions.

Global Brigades proves that one mission and one week can make all the difference.

Each year, the Central Michigan University organization travels to a developing nation over spring break in an effort to create sustainableliving conditions.

The registered student organization president, Greenville senior Seth Barker, met with an academic adviser his freshmen year to plan a spring break trip.

He was advised to Global Brigade with Michigan State University in Honduras.

“It’s cliché, but to be able to travel abroad and first-hand see the difference in culture and lack of resources in these areas is life changing,” he said. “I think people don’t realize what they have and take for granted the environment we live in compared to

the rest of the world.”

Four years ago, after embarking in his first brigade, Barker was motivated to bring the movement to CMU. “It’s nice to look back at the initiatives that you and some of your peers started. You share your life-changing (experiences in another) country,” Barker said.

Each brigade includes four service categories: Medical, dental, public health and water. The student-led groups have a primary goal of global health sustainability in Honduras, Ghana, Panama and Nicaragua. Over the past three years, nearly 200 students have brigaded.

Global Brigades secretary, Westland senior Angeline Sawaya, is one of the founding executive board members who has participated in the CMU brigade for the past three years.

“I have a passion for global health and helping others and

I felt a connection with the sustainability aspect,” she said.

“It is (an) experience that has made me appreciate how much more I have in comparison to how little they have. Global Brigades has empowered me to want to do more.”

Any student can join the RSO at anytime during the school year. Students can travel alongside the organization over spring break, even if they are not in the RSO. “Global Brigades allows you to have an impact on the lives of others, while learning for yourself,” said Westland junior, and PR hair Louise Sawaya.

“You are helping others and yourself. It is a great feeling to know that what you have done for the week will continue to make an impact for years and years to come, rather than just that week you are there.”

CMU Running Club offers options for experienced, novice runners

By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Despite the dedication running takes, Whitehall senior Joseph Gilbert keeps coming back for more every year.

“I didn’t run cross country in high school, but I like to run and always have,” Gilbert said. “This was a good way for me to get involved and meet people my freshman year.”

Gilbert is the president of the CMU Running Club, an organization full of students who enjoy running and the friends they make doing it together. They just finished their cross-country season, and next semester will begin the start of the track season.

“It’s been a really great time for me,” Gilbert said.

“I continue to meet new friends. It kind of helped me build myself from being

committed to something and really trying to be better.”

The club has three different divisions during cross country. Runners can choose which group they want to be in based on their own perceived skill level and mileage preference.

“Generally groups A and B will be our competitive runners,” Gilbert said. “We have a non-competitive function for people who just want to come out and run and stay in shape. They will generally do the C group workout.”

Members ease into the long distances, starting the cross country season running about 20 miles a week and improving as the season progresses. Distances range between 20-60 miles a week at the end depending on what group members are in.

“We always start at the Student Activity Center,”

Gilbert said. “On Wednesdays, we always carpool out to Deerfield Park.”

Races are generally held on Saturdays, are five or eight kilometers long, and take place all over Michigan.

One of the things Sterling Heights sophomore Brooke Trombley enjoys most about races is the travel. Club runners get to travel all over the country for nationals, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Despite the traveling they get to do, the best part about the club has less to do with the sport and more to do with the people you meet, Trombley said.

“Friends and seeing your progression over the season is the most rewarding,” she said.

Members also come away with other benefits besides physical prowess. Caledonia senior Kieran Wyma said run-

ning taught him a lot about himself and how he can succeed in the classroom.

“It’s taught me perseverance, and it’s helped motivate me,” Wyma said.

“I set goals at the beginning

of the season, so it’s helped me do that, especially with schoolwork.”

The running club is an important part of these students’ lives, and they remain dedicated to partici-

pating in it.

“For me it’s really what you make it,” Gilbert said. “I mean, you get friends out of it, you get a good workout, stay in shape and it’s a good place to be.”

Ski and Snowboard Club goes slopestyle

By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

Becoming a part of the Ski and Snowboard Club ended up being the best choice Sylvian Lake sophmore Kristi Batchnik made as a freshman at Central Michigan University.

“It’s absolutely my favorite freshman memory, and it’s probably the best choice I made since coming to Central,” she said.

The club is aiming to be more competitive this year while still priding itself in being inclusive and welcoming new members regardless of skill level on the slopes.

For five or six weekends each winter, competitions take place against other schools in the league at Boyne Mountain, Crystal Mountain and Marquette Mountain. There are two days of ski and snowboard races each weekend. The races consist of two timed runs.

At the end of the weekend, the winning time for a team and

individual is determined.

“We do our best to make sure everyone’s having a good time,” said Batchnik, treasurer for the club. “You get really close with people you would not expect to.”

Clarkston senior Courtney Parkhill joined the club her second year at CMU. Parkhill’s snow sport of choice is boarding, but the club president said the races vary between skiing and snowboarding.

She explains that skiing is more technical and fast paced, while snowboard races are sometimes held on lower-grade hills.

Initially intimidated by the competitive racing aspect and traveling with people she did not know, Parkhill said in the end, joining the club was “worth it to try new things.”

Spending weekends together at ski lodges for competitions provides bonding opportunities for the club to come together, and also teaches the ropes to beginners. Races last for about three hours both

A Luxury Community

days, leaving the rest of the time free for members.

Even though Batchnik came into the RSO already comfortable with competing on the slopes, she stressed this is not necessary to join the club.

There are no tryouts held because the roster has to be finalized at the beginning of the fall semester each year before snow is on the ground. The RSO is capped at 40 people this year because of growing interest. It’s first- come-first serve for the most part, and membership is determined by whoever turns their dues in first.

Unlike years past, all members are required to tip the starting gate and take part in all races.

Dues for the club this year are $500. This covers racing dues and a season pass to Crystal Mountain, which is discounted because of club membership.

Batchnik said the executive board has worked hard to keep the price one of the most reasonable in the league.

Men’s basketball tops Youngstown State, starts year 2-0 Free throws prove important in second win of year

Monica Bradburn

Junior guard Chris Fowler attempts a no-look pass on Tuesday at McGuirk Arena.

| Staff Photographer

Fowler, men use solid rebounding to seal win

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Staff Reporter

Head Coach Keno Davis said Tuesday’s game was the type the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team often lost last year.

The Chippewas (2-0) made just six of the 26 3-point attempts they tried in Tuesday’s 75-63 win over Youngstown State (1-2) in McGuirk Arena.

“We had talked in the last couple years about what happens when you’re not shooting the ball well,” Davis said. “The thing that we left them with is that we could win some games this year on rebounding alone, even on a night when we don’t shoot well and the

other team makes shots.”

To compensate for the missed long balls, the Chippewas outrebounded YSU 53-30, led by junior forward John Simons with 12 and freshman forward Luke Meyer with nine.

“We’ve been in a lot of those games in our first two years,” Simons said. “We’ve had an eight, nine point lead with seven minutes to go, and the last two years, we might have slipped up and not won the game. We know what has to be done in order to close out a game like that.”

The Chippewas led the entire game and took a nine point lead into halftime.

YSU’s Marcus Keene led a second-half charge for the Penguins, scoring 22 of his

Going into Tuesday’s 75-63 victory over Youngstown State University, the CMU basketball team was carrying shooting 62.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Against YSU, the Chippewas made 19 of their 25 chances from the line, good enough for a 76 percent conversion rate.

“Free throw shooting was concerning in the past in our exhibition game. Against Alma, we had not shot well,” Head Coach Keno Davis said. “Yet, I believe in our guys and I know they’re good free throw shooters.”

The Chippewas hung to a slim lead on the Penguins for most of the night. A few key made free throws proved the difference in CMU’s win.

“To be able to ice the game with free throws down the stretch and keep the game at least at arm’s length was nice to see,” Davis said. “I’m confident in all of my players free throw shooting abilities.”

Junior guard Chris Fowler converted eight of his nine free-throw opportunities in the win.

Fowler led the team with 16 points. Junior forward John Simons was not sent to the line, but he was able to explain how early season jitters can play a role in converting on CMU’s free-throw opportunities.

“Sometimes it’s hard to simulate shooting free-throws in a game,” Simons said.“ Maybe having two games with fans in the seats, people are starting to settle in and feel less pressure from the free-throw line.”

Dallas native and sophomore guard, Braylon Rayson made all four of his chances from the bonus line and scored 12 points in the win.

Freshman forward Luke Meyer, who had 13 points and nine rebounds, sunk both of his free-throw chances in the game.

24 points in the last period.

The Penguins closed the gap to six points with 4:20 to play, but CMU junior guard Chris Fowler engineered a 6-0 run to help the Chippewas seal the victory.

Fowler drove to the basket three consecutive times, leading to four consecutive Chippewas points. Then put-back layup by Meyer

widened the lead to a more comfortable level for the men in the maroon and gold.

“We challenged (Meyer) before the game because their center was their key player coming into the game,” Fowler said. “Luke actually turned the tables.

It was a big-time performance from a big-time

player.”

Meyer scored 13 points in his 23 minutes before fouling out with 2:34 left in the game.

Freshmen DaRohn Scott and Milos Cabarkapa combined for 13 minutes on the court Tuesday. Davis expects to spread the minutes between the three freshmen (Scott, Cabarkapa and Meyer) in the upcoming games.

“DaRohn has some offensive moves,” Davis said.

“Milos will continue to see more and more time. (He) didn’t see as much because of the matchups, it wasn’t the best team for him to play as many minutes, but I have confidence in him as well.”

The Chippewas host the Central Michigan Tournament this weekend, bringing in the University of Maine, Arkansas Pine-Bluff Univeristy and Valparaiso University.
