Madness at McGuirk

Life in brief public safety Police waiting for Hartnett autopsy The Central Michigan Police Department is still waiting for autopsy results on the body of Michael Hartnett, the 18-yearold Dearborn Heights man who was found in the Fabiano Botanical Garden pond on Oct. 5.

CMUPD Chief Bill Yeagley said Hartnett’s body is being examined at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Officers inquired about the results but were told it may still be one to two weeks until results are released. “(Waiting for results) is very difficult for the entire community, and especially so for the people closer to Michael,” Yeagley said. “We have been keeping the family informed every step of the way. They are grieving deeply from their loss and our thoughts and prayers are with them in this difficult time.”

Autopsy results would have to be sent to the Isabella County Prosecutor before being released to the public.

Hartnett came to Central Michigan University to visit friends from his hometown during the Homecoming Weekend. According to CMU police, Hartnett was last seen walking on Washington Street near St. Mary’s church at 2 a.m. Oct. 5.

He was found in the pond near Park Library and was removed by the Isabella County Dive Rescue Team that day, where he was pronounced dead.

Effect of pot law cloudy Marijuana decriminalization prompts broader discussion

By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Marijuana is decriminalized in Mount Pleasant, but advocates of cannabis recognize this is a small step on the way to legalization.

Mount Pleasant, Berkley, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Port Huron and Saginaw voted in the Nov. 4 general election to decrimi-

nalize the possession and use of less than one ounce of marijuana on private property by an adult above the age of 21. These six Michigan cities brought the total to 12 in the state with such proposals.

“A lot of people jump right to legalization (as the next step) and that’s bogus. When the Michigan Medical Marijuana Initiative passed in 2008, people said

legalization was next, and here we are six years later,” said Ian Elliot, president of Students Advocating for Medical and Recreational Cannabis. “It’s not like it’s a floodgate opening; each issue is voted on by the population based on its own merits and if several years from now we decide that as a state legalization is what we want it will be voted on.”

Greeks Clean the Streets Central Michigan University Greek organizations will be participating in the final “Greeks Clean the Streets” of the semester this Sunday.

At noon on Nov. 9, fraternity and sorority members will go from High Street to Bellows Street and Douglas Street to Lansing Street cleaning up trash from the weekend.

Four years ago “Greeks Clean the Streets” was started by Sigma Alpha Epsilon member Jon Reusch and Jeff Pickler, a code enforcement officer from the city of Mount Pleasant. The focus of this community event is for Greek students to volunteer time to clean campus and the neighborhoods. It is also hoped that with this program, the image of Greek Life and what they can do will be improved.

Around 40 students from Central Michigan University’s sororities and fraternities will contribute their time to collect trash in the area. Typically 30 to 40 bags of trash is collected.

Greeks will be meeting in the Grawn Hall Parking Lot 3 to starting the cleaning.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department does not actively target people in the community for marijuana use, however this does not mean they will not charge offenders smoking or possessing marijuana outside of their residence, said Jeff Browne, MPPD public information officer. Possession of marijuana carries a 93-day misdemeanor charge with fines between $200-$500.

Anton Treuer attracted a full house of students and community members to the Park Library Auditorium Thursday night for his keynote address “Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask.” Executive Director of the American Indian Resource Center at Bemidji State University and a published author, Treuer drew applause from the crowd that spilled into the aisles when he announced that Central Michigan University needs to do away with its Chippewa mascot.

“It’s not the case that everybody is racist or that everybody is stupid, but somebody always is,” Treuer said. “If one person says ‘It doesn’t bother me’ and someone else says it does, we can’t just brush that aside. To me it’s a no brainer. Frankly, I think your name needs to change too.”

Treuer applied examples of the Florida State Seminoles, whose Native nickname has been in place since 1947, and the Central Michigan University Chippewas. Both teams and universities have agreements with the local Native American tribes which allow them to use the names.

In 2002, then-President Rao and then-Chief Kahgegab signed a resolution that spelled out the relationship that would hence exist between the Tribe and university. The agreement includes the Tribe’s official approval of the university’s use of the Chippewa name as a mascot for sports: “This mutual relationship is evident in the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council continuing its support of Central Michigan University’s “Chippewas” nickname, which the university uses as a sign of pride, honor, and respect for the Tribe’s rich heritage.”

Treuer said the problem with mascots being used to “honor” local tribes is that the deepseated culture of sports leads to Native Americans being portrayed more as caricatures than as real, living people. The spirit of friendly competition that exists in sports also leads to the ridiculing of the Chippewas by the opposing team, he said. No matter the mascot, it will be subject to automatic defamation by an opposing team. w Mascot | 2

Mascot | continued from 1 “This is one of those areas where not all native people are of exactly the same mind,” Treuer said. “There are native people who take no offense whatsoever. It is also true that most native people do have a major issue with the use of native names and imagery as mascots for sports teams.”

Olivia Haas, a freshman from Warren, said she had never thought about the CMU mascot as causing more trouble than it was worth until she heard Treuer speak. She and freshman Haley Guest, of Lake City, attended the

event for their philosophy class focusing on moral problems and were impressed with what he had to say.

“The fact that they had to email us and say ‘only paint your face like this,’ whereas if they would just change (the name), they wouldn’t have to go through the work,” Haas said. “It makes total sense. If you have to go through the trouble of telling someone not to do something, you probably should just avoid it at all costs.”

Guest said that while the issue doesn’t effect her on a personal level, she believes it’s important. If there is going to be a Native mascot, it should only be used as specified by the Tribe.

“I guess if people are

respectful of the Tribe, or whoever, is asking, (it’s OK),” Guest said. “I came to this presentation because I know, being at Central, it’s a problem with the Chippewa being our name.”

Both students said they felt their knowledge of current Native American issues was not sufficient before they attended Treuer’s speech.

Without more people besides Native Americans speaking up on the issue of Native mascots, Treuer said there is little hope of making a difference.

“The silence on Native imagery in sports, to me, is deafening,” Treuer said.

“It’s not going to change if it’s just me talking about it or advocating on it, or saying it bothers me.”

continued from 1 “Honestly, one of my concerns is people not understanding the law and then going out and getting themselves in a pickle,” Browne said. “A possession charge has always come with subsequent offenses, like after domestic violence or drunk driving. My understanding is things are not going to change.

We are not going out to target individuals, we never have.”

Article XIV of the city charter was amended in the proposal. City Attorney Scott Smith said Mount Pleasant doesn’t have any ordinances that deal with marijuana, and things will not change from a legal standpoint.

While students will not be able to walk down the street and smoke a joint any time soon, the aim of the proposal was to begin a broader conversation. In Michigan, the change is beginning.

In 2012, ballot proposals in the cities of Detroit, Grand

dents voting in favor, showing that popular opinion has the power to change policy after years of marijuana proposals being rejected.

“Locally there are a lot of politicians elected by small margins and when they look at marijuana, either on a medical or legalization side of things, they have to face that the 62 percent was not all democrats and not all students,” Elliot said. “There are a lot of community members who are conservatives, business owners, teachers who support this. It is something the community wants and law enforcement is slowly realizing they have to respect that.”

SAMRC utilized an organized, grassroots approach to getting students to the ballot box. Elliot’s organization passed out 4,000 informational pamphlets around the community detailing the pros and cons of decriminalization, and he said he saw many familiar faces at the polls on Tuesday.

“Nationwide, this was a victory for us,” Elliot said.

Rapids and Flint enacted provisions similar to those in Ann Arbor, and Ypsilanti passed an ordinance to make marijuana offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement officers. In 2013, voters in Lansing, Ferndale and Jackson approved initiatives allowing citizens at least 21 years old to possess an ounce or less of marijuana on private property. In August 2014, voters in Hazel Park and Oak Park voted to approve a similar measure.

“This puts the question on city officials for whether their obligation is to respect the democratic process or a system that is following laws that are based on corrupt evidence that were put into effect 80 years ago,” Elliot said. “We hope that this momentum continues not toward legalization necessarily, but toward understanding.”

He continued that politicians have begun to stratify to either side of the issue and will be held accountable for justifying their opinions to the people.

The proposal passed by a vote of 2,705 to 1,639, with 62.3 percent of Mount Pleasant resi-

through treatment,” said Allie Annese, graduate student in the psychology department.

“I am excited to get such great experience and be able to provide services to children throughout the state.”

Psychology graduate student Sophie Fursa works for both the assessment center and the autism treatment center. She said having hands-on experience at both centers is a huge advantage for her professional career.

“You can learn about the symptoms of autism or how an evaluation is done in class, but actually being part of the process adds a completely different aspect,” Fursa said. “We get to see how the professionals are conducting evaluation and treatment in real time. I see first-hand what behaviors are standing out to them and what questions are they asking the parents.”

Central Michigan University’s Autism Assessment and Treatment clinic is the first of its kind in mid-Michigan.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S. affecting one in 68 children, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. CMU’s center, one of eight in Michigan, is only the second to train students and professionals in diagnosis and treatment.

“We actually see children here and the children are able to get high quality services,” said Christie Nutkins, a psychology professor and center director. “So the students who are working with the children have direct supervision. Once they are showing us that they are ready to work with kids, then they take over.”

There is one child involved in the program and a second child is in the process of joining. Nutkins said she is hopeful they will continue to grow in the spring semester.

The Autism Assessment and Treatment Clinic, located in the Heath Professions Building, features a multidisciplinary evaluation team that has students and faculty from the psychology and communication disorders programs, and medical school pediatricians. The treatment center, located in the Education and Human Services building, applied behavior analysis is provided by graduate students supervised by licensed professionals.

“The primary goal is to train students well to increase the number of individuals who can provide treatment for children with autism,” Nutkins said.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health,

ASD is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication, social interaction and repetitive patterns of behavior. Symptoms are typically recognized in the first two years of life and cause significant impairment in social, occupational and other areas of functioning.

The term “spectrum” refers to the range of symptoms, skills and levels of impairment that children with ASD can have. Some children are mildly affected by their symptoms, while others are severely disabled.

This makes it vital that health professionals catch the disorder and begin treatment early. Children at the centers are diagnosed through a speech evaluation, meet with a pediatrician and are given a full psychological evaluation.

“It has been such a rewarding experience to watch our children make improvements

On Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1979, Central Michigan Life reported on local students participating in the fourth annual Residence Hall Relay, a 214-mile run that goes from Central Michigan University to the University of Toledo.

More than 360 students participated in the run, representing CMU’s 19 residence halls. The runners, escorted by two university vehicles, ran with and passed a football relay-style. There were six fumbles during the run, which took 26.5 hours.

The ball arrived at the University of Toledo, prior to the CMU and Toledo football game. James Hill, vice president for student affairs, ran the first seven miles of the run, starting at the send-off ceremony at the Warriner Hall. Hill was joined by six students, each running one mile.

At a special pre-game set up, the ball was run onto the field and presented to CMU football coach Herb Deromedi.

Students said they were pleased with the run, except for the final ceremony where the run was not acknowledged by the University of Toledo.

However, ABC televised the football game and mentioned the run, as did many local radio stations and local newspapers of towns that runners passed through.

Study abroad students explore Costa Rican culture, learn about alternative medicine

By Karissa Lutz Staff Reporter

Courtesy Photo | Taylar Miller Dewitt senior Taylar Miller slides down a “waterfall slide” during her time in Costa Rica.

For Rebecca Vander Sluis and Taylar Miller, the 2014 spring semester was anything but ordinary.

Vander Sluis and Miller studied abroad in Costa Rica during the spring 2014 semester at Central Michigan University. They were two of six students on the trip.

The class visited several several parts of the country, including San Jose, Universidad Veritas, Jaco, Montezuma/ Santa Teresa, Monteverde, Puerto Viejo, Manuel Antonio and Playa Uvita.

All the fruits and vegetables they ate came from the garden they worked on, she said.

“We all worked and lived on a farm,” she said. “We got to cook breakfast from the methane that is produced from the pig’s skin.”

They also went to Indian reservations and worked at a wildlife refuge, focused on sea turtle conservation.

“These were all part of my classes that I took there, but they were all hands-on field trips that we got to go on,” Vander Sluis said.

She chose Costa Rica, Vander Sluis said, because it’s warm, pretty and they had programs in alternative medicine, which worked well for her since she is a dietetics major.

Miller said she liked that Costa Rica’s health care systems were built around preventative care.

“On their farm, they grew natural

herbs that they used for medicine,” she said. “They’re really into homeopathy there.”

Her favorite class in Costa Rica, Miller said, was acupuncture.

The two students lived with the same host family who spoke little English.

Dining with their host family each night, Vander Sluis and Miller couldn’t help but rave about the food.

“The food is just out of the world,” Vander Sluis said. “We would go and make fresh guacamole every day. We would go to the market. You can buy bananas. You can get like 30 for less than a dollar.”

But food was secondary to the global perspective the students took from their time in Costa Rica Miller and Vander Sluis wanted to go somewhere they could study nutrition and also get away from the cold Michigan winter.

Vander Sluis said the trip took her out of her comfort zone, but she was thankful for the opportunity to study abroad.

“It’s definitely one of the best experiences and the places that I’ve grown a lot in my life and it was definitely a leap of faith to go out there,” she said. “It was a great experience and I’m so glad I’ve done it. And I want everybody else to have an experience like that.

“Challenge yourself.”

Assertion that Ross is ‘running away’ from problems is unfounded

My vote didn’t count Ben Solis

Editor-in-chief

Central Michigan Life | File Photo President George Ross in 2011 during a meeting with faculty. A year into his presidency, Ross faced a vote of no confidence and a one-day strike from the Faculty Association.

Accepting a challenge G

eorge Ross is now a candidate for the president’s job at the University of Nebraska, a larger school than Central Michigan University, with considerably more acclaim, notoriety and fiscal responsibility.

He is just a candidate, one of four.

With his expertise and resume, we expect him to become a finalist. We expect him to face a difficult decision: Roll with the challenges CMU faces, or leave for a bigger opportunity with a bigger pay check.

The job requires the university president to oversee three major campuses and a medical school. It has 50,000 students and a $2.4 billion operating budget. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus is one of the most well-known programs from a college athletics standpoint alone.

An opportunity like this is difficult to pass up. Ross told reporters Monday that he said “no thank you” to recruiters who hounded him for months to apply for the job. CMU’s president remains adamant that he is not looking for another job, nor was he actively pursuing this one.

Almost immediately after the news broke, the conversation veered less to congratulations than it did to speculation that Ross was running from CMU and the many challenges it will undoubtedly face in the near future.

During his State of the University address, the president detailed an enrollment projection – a drop to just

17,500 students – and a serious decline in graduating Michigan high school seniors by 2020.

That’s tough stuff, but Ross is not rushing for the exit.

Historically, Ross has shown a willingness to address challenges, even if these challenges were not of his own making. Then president Michael Rao bolted for Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009 soon after selling the Board of Trustees on the risky and largely unpopular idea of building and perpetually funding a brand new medical school, leaving his predecessor to deal with the fallout. If it was in Ross’ DNA to walk away or simply stay away from risk, he would have done so in 2010 when CMU’s presidential search committee came calling.

Ross’ running mantra – shared so candidly that we can quote it effortlessly in conversation – is that without education and hard work, the president would not be where he is today. He grew up “a farm kid from Mississippi, grew up on the streets of Washington D.C. and Flint” and survived the South in a time when prejudice ran rampant. He also battled cancer and won.

Let’s be clear – Ross has received a

fair share of criticism, and much of it is warranted. When he came to CMU for the second time – Ross served as the vice president of Finance and Administrative Services from 2002 to 2008 – he was viewed as being calculated and uninterested in his faculty and staff.

A conservative financial planner, Ross kept CMU’s books in good shape by not overspending, but is criticized for not giving enough to the departments that need money the most.

Worse for Ross’ image, he received a vote of no confidence from Academic Senate in 2011, a year after he took office, in regards to their unwillingness to halt the progress of CMU’s College of Medicine (CMED). This was followed by a one-day Faculty Association strike after the group and the administrative bargaining team could not come to terms on a new contract.

Ross is nowhere near perfect. His reputation as a shrewd operator has not faded from the minds of many faculty. But to call him a quitter is unfounded.

When Ross delivered his address last month, he focused on trying to inspire the CMU community to meet

the challenges ahead. Trying to rally support and motivation is not what you expect from a man who is trying to get as far away from the problem as he can. A man looking for an exit strategy wouldn’t have even brought it up. Instead, someone expecting to leave would have given an address that would, at best, sweep these issues safely under the rug.

Detractors aside, his largest group of supporters are the single most important group on campus: Student leaders.

Students in top leadership roles dine with Ross at his home on a monthly basis. They seek his counsel as proteges and respect him for putting their success first.

Ross may not care what the faculty thinks of him. He may not care if they get to check off every box on their department’s priority list. If there’s one thing Ross does care about, it’s to offer his students a bright future.

We will still thrive as a university with or without him. Will carry on and surmount our challenges.

With his departure, however, we lose an important ally to students, their well-being and their overall success.

We wish him luck, but not too much.

Letter to the editor

In wake of election, Cotter’s values don’t reflect our own TO THE EDITOR: Imagine you are a billionaire wanting to get rid of laws you don’t like, create laws that will benefit your enterprises, and shape the laws of the entire nation to your advantage. How would you do that?

You start with the lawmakers. You legally offer them lots of money to elect them to office to do your bidding

by calling the money “campaign contributions.” And you spend unlimited amounts of money through a “non-profit” organization called, say, “Americans for Prosperity.”

You don’t want your lawmakers making laws up on their own, so you create an organization that gives them templates of the laws you want, laws that undermine environmental regulations,

fight health care reform, destroy unions, privatize public schools and prisons, disenfranchise voters, and more.

This is not a fantasy for billionaire brothers, Charles and David Koch. Through Americans for Prosperity, and ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), they are remaking the nation’s laws at the federal and state level. ALEC’s membership

list of legislators is, of course, secret, so legislators can give the appearance of having written the laws themselves.

Our representative for the 99th District, Kevin Cotter, received high marks from Americans for Prosperity (100% in 2011), the same year he signed their No Climate Tax pledge. His voting record is aligned with ALEC’s goals of allowing guns everywhere,

Timothy J. Caldwell, Mount Pleasant

I’ve made it a point to vote in every election since I turned 18 years old in 2006.

My first vote wasn’t even for the big game – the general presidential election – it was in the midterms. Hell, I voted during the primaries for local officials. Voting is the most fundamental right I have as an American citizen.

Imagine my dismay when I found out on Nov. 4 that despite registering at MAINstage, I was not allowed to vote in Union Township on a technicality. Part of it was my fault; the other half of the blame, I feel, rests with the canvassers.

My guess is that other students experienced the same set of troubles.

As I walked into the Jameson Hall polling location, as advised by the voter registration slip I received in the mail, I was told that I was not registered to vote at that location. I wasn’t registered to vote at all. They looked me up. Swiped my license twice. I was like a ghost.

Even the township clerk, who they had phoned for assistance, was confounded.

Had I brought my slip to the location with me, it might have been resolved. But how does that account for not even being in their system? Really?

Not even one ounce of evidence that I was registered?

During the summer months, canvassers flooded the streets of Mount Pleasant and its surrounding townships to try and register students. I respect what canvassers do in terms of strengthening our democracy, but let’s face it: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

I was perfectly content with filling out an absentee ballot and sending it to my hometown in Canton, Mich.

Yet the canvasser – a professor at Central Michigan University – was pushy and persuasive.

Yet this was a minor inconvenience compared to not being able to lift my voice and help shape Michigan’s future.

With so many first-time voters registered by canvassers at MAINstage, I worried that other students faced the same problems. Our generation has become so disillusioned by politics to begin with.

Being turned away from a polling location could very well be the last straw for some of these students, and that to me is more detrimental to the sanctity of our democratic process than the actions of a dirt-bag politician.

If this happened to you on Election Day, I implore you to share your story with Central Michigan Life and to call your city in droves and demand an explanation.

There’s nothing worse than feeling like your voice doesn’t matter – that is, of course, if you are actually told that your voice doesn’t matter because you’re not allowed to vote.

Ones to watch

The Chippewas will begin their season with an exhibition game against Saginaw Valley State at 1 p.m. Sunday at McGuirk Arena.

“I expect our team to play extremely hard and make mistakes,” Davis said. “I’d be surprised if our fans saw anything other than a great effort on Sunday.”

CMU will only play one game against a team from a major conference in its 11 non-conference games when the team travels to Northwestern on Dec. 17.

Davis intentionally scheduled less notable opponents at home to give CMU students opportunities to see the team succeed before the semester break.

“The idea is that as we have some success and the fans see the product on the court, they will want to come back for the MAC season,” Davis said. “Being able to get a home court (heavy) schedule was really important.”

Austin Stewart

Coach Keno Davis has said that Simmons and Stewart have been spending training camp battling for the final spot in CMU’s starting five.

Davis said Simmons had the best summer of any member of the team and called Stewart’s work ethic “incredible.”

Key matchups

CMU finished fifth out of six teams in the MAC West last season and were predicted to land in the same spot this season in the MAC Preseason Poll.

While Davis said the team is still not a finished product, freshman forward DaRohn Scott said the goal of the group he has joined is to win the MAC Championship.

“I’m definitely looking forward to winning with my team,” Scott said. “With our other freshmen such as Luke (Meyer) and Filip (Medjo) and Milos (Cabarkapa), we should be able to achieve that goal.”

A difference in culture

Junior forward John Simons committed to CMU four months before former head coach Ernie Zeigler was fired.

Simons kept his commitment to the Chippewas through the hiring of Davis and has been with the team through some of the toughest rebuilding processes.

“We expect to take a big step from the past two years,” Simons said.

“We’ve been building something here since all of us got here.

We’ve had two rough years of getting things going, but I think that we’ll be able to show a little bit this year of what we’ve been doing.”

Davis said the tough blowout losses in 2013-14 should benefit the team this season.

“We’re a better shooting team, better ball-handling team, better depth, we’re better in every area,” Davis said. “What does that mean for wins? I don’t know, but we’re better in every area.”

The 2014-2015 team sports seven juniors and one senior, most of which have had playing time since their freshmen year, including Simons, guard Chris Fowler and forward Blake Hibbitts.

“Now is the time to put it together,” Hibbitts said. “Last year we didn’t do as well as we would have liked to. It’s time for a winning year.”

Chris Fowler

What’s new Depth and height. The CMU men’s hoops team added depth and strength with their incoming freshman class. The height of Scott and Meyer should alleviate the pressure on guards like Fowler and Braylon Rayson and lead to solid rebounding and a rejuvenated transition offense in 2014.

Class: Sophomore Position: Guard Height: 5-9 Weight: 185 2013 points per game: 10.7 With unmatched confidence, Rayson is among the deadliest scoring threats and quickest players in the CMU transition game. Look for him to be the biggest difference in fast-paced games in 2014

Bradford suffered season-ending knee injury just days before the Chippewas’ loss to Akron in Cleveland last spring.

Guevara said Bradford’s health has been improving all offseason, though she is still not 100 percent.

“Right now we are on a basis of three minutes in, six minutes out,” Guevara said. “When we scrimmage, she plays nine minutes. The most important thing for her is to be 100 percent by conference play.”

Green suffered a similar knee injury two years ago and said she knows what Bradford is going through. The point guard said she will take personal responsibility for making sure the women do not suffer greatly due to their best player’s absence.

“I am a scorer and a leader this season,” Green said. “I need to score more than 12 points a game this season. Crystal is hurt. Someone has to step up. I think that role will be mine.”

Green was the third leading scorer last season shooting 41 percent from the field.

Defensive Changes

Guevara said she has implemented the pack line defense made famous by the Virginia Men’s basketball team.

The scheme is a version of man-toman defense focused on eliminating the offense’s ability to penetrate from the low post and rebound.

“It’s really effective,” Bracey said. “It gets more people in the paint and involved in rebounding. It’s going to be real helpful this year.”

Class: Junior Position: Forward Height: 6-7 Weight: 212 2013 points per game: 9.2 Blake Hibbitts is not your average forward. The big man drained several clutch 3-pointers last year and is poised for another huge year from the arc this winter.

In the absence of 3-point recond-setter Niki DiGuilio, the Chippewas will call on Tamm to establish a legitimate and consistent threat from the perimeter. Cotton will likely come off the bench as head coach Sue Guevara’s secret and speedy weapon.

The Chippewas return several familiar faces from last season. The senior class of Bradford, Jas’Mine Bracey, Jessica Green and Kerby Tamm is among the best ever assembled in program history.

The four scored 58 percent of the Chippewas’ points last season during their junior campaign.

“We have a different team from last year,” Tamm said. “We have a lot of people coming back and a lot of new people. It’s a different team dynamic, but we have been embracing it.”

CMU added five freshmen from last season, many of which have impressed the veteran group and head coach Sue Guevara.

“I don’t usually like freshman, but I really like this group,” Guevara said. “(In practice) things have been a little fast for them, but they seem to be picking things up pretty well. Our seniors help a lot with that.”

A total of 238 days have passed since the Central Michigan women’s basketball team was bounced out of the 2014 Mid-American Conference Tournament by Akron.

The women’s expectations of getting back to Cleveland have been growing ever since.

No expectations on the team are higher than the ones senior guard and reigning MAC Player of the Year Crystal Bradford has set for herself as she prepares to lead the Chippewas to an NCAA Tournament berth in 2015.

“I learn from all my losses,” Bradford said. “I take them all really hard. I hate losing. Every year I’ve become more driven.”

For the first time in three years as the Central Michigan University men’s basketball coach, Keno Davis will be coaching more juniors and seniors than freshmen and sophomores.

Last year, the squad featured just four upperclassmen. The men finished 10-21 overall and 3-15 in the Mid-American Conference.

Davis’ hopes for this year’s team remain high.

“I have high goals for this year’s team,” Davis said. “I haven’t put a number on it or a postseason on it or a seeding on it, but I think where we’ve come in a couple years is an exciting time. We’re looking forward to the next couple weeks to see how good we can be when we start the season.”

Jessica Green Class: Senior Position: Guard Height: 5-10 2013 points per game: 11.8 2013 assists per game: 3.6 Jessica Green is the leader of the CMU offense. The point guard will have plenty of weapons to use on opposing defenses this season.

What’s new Bradford is back just in the nick of time. This year’s CMU senior class is among the best every assembled. The group has been to the MAC title game each year they have played at CMU and would love nothing more to claim the 2014 conference crown and accomplish the overall season goal: An appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Survivors of suicide share their stories on Wednesday night in French Auditorium.

Guest speakers share stories of grief, loss

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

John Thebo was the type of person who went out with his friends every weekend. Now, after the suicide of his brother Walt, the junior has cut himself off from the outside world. He admits he didn’t want to see or talk to anyone after it happened and was left feeling unsure of how he should feel.

A month after suicide, Thebo is falling behind in classes. He feels misunderstood.

“I keep wishing I could change it and do something about it,” Thebo said. “He left three kids behind, a wife, and everyday I keep thinking ‘why? No one can understand what you’re feeling. No one can understand the pain you’re feeling. I tend to feel, and tonight I realized, that there are other people feeling the same thing.”

Yellow Ribbon Week hosted its third event of Suicide Prevention Week on Wednesday in the French Auditorium, with a panel of family members who had suffered from a suicide in their family.

Panel member Mary Greyerbiehl admitted to barely surviving the suicide of her son Matt in 2009. Her family falling apart. The Bad Axe woman lost 40 pounds within the first two months. Unable to eat anything and her health deteriorating, she struggled to find a reason to live.

“It was because I was determined that my family wasn’t going to fall apart, that we were somehow going to survive this, that was the seed that started growing within me,” Greyerbiehl said.

Once an organized woman, she now struggles to bring herself to cook or clean. She spoke of Matt’s popularity in high school and how he was the “last person you’d expect” to commit suicide. More than 1,000 people attended his funeral.

“The question is, how has the death changed you,” said Lake Orion resident, George Edwards, whose son committed suicide in 2011. The answer is completely. I don’t know what else to say. In Lake Orion, in the course of five years, we had 22 suicides. My son being number 19 or 18, I lost count.”

Two days after Ryan died, another young man named Jeremiah, who Edwards had known since Jeremiah was in fifth grade, committed suicide.

With the locals saying “oh, what is it, the water in Lake Orion?”, a statement that Edwards found disrespectful, a group of high school seniors banded together to mount a battle against the school district.

“I think everyone in Lake Orion’s opinion was that the school wasn’t doing anything about the problem,” Edwards said. “I’m like wait a minute, it’s not about the schools. What about the family life? The family they came from? The fact they were sick?”

Edwards sat down with a teacher and a friend - both of whom had known Ryan - in an attempt to change the small town. From there, they created Journey, a suicide prevention group.

As time passed, the group gained the attention of the superintendent of the schools. Two years later, they extended the program at Lake Orion High School called SOS, Students Offering Support.

“That has been a big part of my therapy and recovery, to work with teenagers, students, young adults, all age groups through education and through relating to kids, which I have a talent at,” Edwards said.

Other school districts have come to Edwards to model their program and they’ve presented the program to the State Board of Education.

Edwards found himself being told by others at the funeral that they understood what he was feeling. This didn’t comfort him, but frustrated him. Despite their claims, they didn’t understand what he felt.

“When someone says that they know how they feel, no, they don’t know how I feel,” Edwards said. “Did you lose a child? No. They said they’re sorry for my loss and I say me too, I miss my son. And I still say that. I’m not being sarcastic, I do miss my son, he was really cool, he was almost as cool as me. But that’s okay. I got rid of the anger. Who cares? Why be angry about it? People just don’t understand and if we’re up here teaching people that we shouldn’t do that.”

With over 40,000 suicides occurring each year, Ace Thebo, Walt’s Uncle, refuses to believe that no one in the auditorium had thought about suicide. In fact, he guaranteed the crowd someone in the room had seriously considered suicide at some point of their lives.

Knowing this, he wanted to make

sure those students realized the future they could be missing out on. He recalls looking back after the suicide and thinking if he had too committed suicide like he had wanted to, he wouldn’t have seen his children graduate high school with honors or see them get into college. He wouldn’t have coached a team to the state championship game. Looking back, he knows it wouldn’t have been the right thing to do.

“There’s a lot to miss. Marriage.

Dating. Careers. Children. You’ll miss more than you think you will,” Ace said. “Second of all, you think no one will miss you? They will miss you.

They’ll miss you more than you can imagine. Because every memory will come back. It has with my nephew. At his funeral, I didn’t know the influence I had on him until his friend was telling me all the stuff they had talked about and he knew my name before I even introduced myself.”

Greyerbiehl found comfort in education after experiencing the loss of her son. She started reading everything she could get her hands on about the subject of suicide and would later contact the authors.

They often emailed, and Greyerbiehl inspired some to speak in her small town.

“I became educated, opened some doors in my mind on how this could have possibly happened in my life because it’s the most devastating thing I could’ve imagined,” she said. “I tried to be completely honest with everyone, talking and sharing what I learned and known. I’m now going into schools and talking about what suicide does to those left behind and why suicide is the biggest mistake someone could ever make.”

NSBE strives to build opportunities for Black students in STEM fields that students know they have a support group.

“Students here should know they have support, and not feel that they are the only (minority) in this class,” Davis said. “They should know there is some camaraderie to help them get through.”

Some of the NSBE’s goals include stimulating and developing student interest in the various engineering disciplines, as well as increasing the number of minority students studying engineering at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

According to 2010 data from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Census Bureau, underrepresented minorities earned 18.6 percent of total undergraduate degrees from 4-year colleges.

However, only 16.4 percent of the degrees were in science fields and less than 13 percent of degrees were in physical sciences and engineering.

Davis believes the organization serves an important function for helping black students become successful in STEM departments.

Black Americans have always played a primary role in advancement and education, Davis said, referencing readers such as Benjamin Banneker and Booker T. Washington.

The NSBE offers networking opportunities students may not have otherwise had.

SAVE raises awareness about autism

By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Autism is a condition that affects a whole family, not just an individual. One campus organization wants to make sure they are there to support the families and maybe even be there to help save the day.

Students for Autism Volunteering and Education is dedicated to raising awareness about autism and volunteering in the community. One of their goals is to help Mount Pleasant’s local families with autistic individuals.

“When we met with them, the parent group suggested doing things such as siblings’ shops, so hanging out and working with siblings of children with autism,” said President Jennifer Endelman from Marysville. “Sometimes in families they don’t feel like they are getting as much attention.”

The group will be hosting family nights, siblings’ shops that focus on bringing fun and attention to siblings of children with autism and volunteering for special needs nights in the Chil-

dren’s Discovery Museum.

“It seems we’ve been laying the groundwork for being a resource in the community,” said group adviser Meaghan McCollow.

SAVE is also concerned with society’s lack of understanding about autism and how it affects individuals and their families.

“It’s kind of been diagnosed a lot more recently and I feel like people just don’t understand it as well as they should,” said Sterling Heights senior Jeana Najor. “That’s kind of our goal, just to get people aware of what it is and how it is affecting people.”

Despite some differences in eye contact and conversation topics, McCollow said individuals with autism are still people who deserve to be treated with respect.

“Just like anybody else, they have got their interests and things they like to do,” she said. “So treating individuals with autism just like we would treat somebody else: with respect and like they are a human being with things to say.”

In order to raise money

for their organization, SAVE is selling autism puzzle pieces in the Education and Human Services building until Friday. For one dollar, students can sign puzzle pieces or write something on them.

“The different colored puzzle pieces is the symbol for autism,” Najor said. “You know, like how the yellow banners represent suicide awareness and breast cancer is pink. We’re going to hang them all in a big banner after we collect as many as we want to collect and we’re going to hang that in the UC for a couple of weeks.”

The group’s next meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 11. Meetings are every other Tuesday and typically attract students with a wide range of majors.

Najor thinks many students join because of personal experience with autism.

“It makes me excited to see students who are excited about learning about autism and creating awareness of autism and volunteering and helping out in their community.” Said McCollow. “I’m so very proud of them.”

CHAPS provides networking opportunities to HP students

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Although the fall semester at Central Michigan University is slowly winding down, student organizations like the Collegiate Health Administration Preparatory Society still have some exciting activities planned.

CHAPS is a registered student organization for students majoring in health administration or students interested in the major. The goal is to provide a way for students to network within the field and grow within the fellowship by doing service and being educated.

The organization does many events and service projects like playing board games with residents at Laurel’s of Mount Pleasant, a community nursing home.

“We still have some upcoming events even though the semester is winding down,” said Farmington Hills senior Lindsay Soave, president of

CHAPS. “We will be going to Laurel’s again and are having an alumni panel come talk to us in mid-November. We also are having a study party for finals in December and there will be hot cocoa and snacks. There’s 30 other people that had the same classes or that are taking them right now within our group, and that’s pretty cool.”

Along with hosting these events, members of CHAPS must get points to be involved within the group. The points are based off of going to fundraising, social, academic and service related events and programs.

CHAPS has an ‘internship spotlight’ where someone will give a short presentation about their responsibilities, the environment and what they learned during the internship. This gives students involved a way to learn about what they might like to do in the future.

Other events in the making for CHAPS are a little far into the future but definitely hold promise of making a difference.

The group is planning to do an ‘Adoptive Family’ present donation, where they will bring in or collect gifts and wrap them for those unable to receive presents. They also plan to do an informational session about health administration Sacred Heart Academy sometime in the future.

“I really enjoy being involved in CHAPS and getting to work with E-board to plan all of the events,” said Clarkston senior Ashley Nysowy, social chair. “It’s a great feeling to see everyone in the group come and actually want to be there. My favorite event this semester was probably Papa’s Pumpkin Patch. It was a nice break from all the stress of exams and we all got to have a good time.”

The last meeting of the semester for this organization will be held on Nov. 17 in the Health Professions Building at 9:30 p.m. Meetings will pick up again next semester as well as committees.

Registered student organizations provide social and educational opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

Detroit senior Tor Vinson is dedicated to expanding that list of networking opportunities for black engineering students, as president and founder of Central Michigan University’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers.

“It is a great organization because it allows for multicultural individuals to learn about engineering and succeed as professionals,” Vinson said.

According to an American Community Survey Reports study, black university graduates have been consistently underrepresented in STEM employment. In 2011, 11 percent of the workforce was Black, while 6 percent of Science Technology Engineering Mathmatics workers were Black.

Blacks make up 10 percent of the total American workforce, making them underrepresented in STEM fields.

Meanwhile, Whites made up 70 percent of the STEM jobs, despite consisting of 66 percent of the total workforce.

NSBE’s advisor on campus, Marceil Davis, is proud to contribute to the organization.

Davis believes it is paramount

a lot of weight. It makes students more marketable,” Davis said. “I wish I had this as a student. (Students should) take advantage of it.”

Vinson said he always wanted to become an engineer, and became involved with NSBE through his sister, a member of the chapter at the University of Michigan.

He became an active member before coming the CMU, participating in a four-week Summer Engineering Experience for Kids Program that exposed underprivileged children to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “(My sister) encouraged me, and I knew I wanted to start the RSO here at CMU to benefit the students and the engineering department,” Vinson said.

He is satisfied to have founded CMU’s chapter of NSBE, and said his vision for the organization’s future is to.

“Engineering does get tough, but with a program like this we can provide support,” he said.

The National Society for Black Engineers meets on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Institution of Engineering and Technology Building. Davis encourages all students to come.

“It doesn’t just have to be black students; any one can join,” he said. “This is for students to network and build that development.”

INS celebrates Diwali festival of lights with henna, flash mob

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Courtesy Photo | Santosh Kotha Members of the Student Indian Association apply henna to the hands of students during a fundraiser that took place Monday through Wednesday this week at the Down Under Food Court.

Diwali, the festival of lights.

In India, it is a celebration of physical and spiritual light, symbolizing light overcoming dark or good overcoming evil.

Different ways people celebrate Diwali are by lighting oil lamps, setting off firecrackers, cleaning their homes and sharing delicious meals with friends and family.

Since this holiday has just past, the Indian Student Association is hosting a fundraiser in the light of Diwali. During

the first week of November, students could gather in the Bovee Center by the Down Under Food Court to get henna, or Mehndi, done on their hands.

“I’ve wanted a real tattoo but I don’t know what I’d want, so henna is a really cool alternative,” said junior Kristina Sepanski.

The definition of Mehndi is the art or practice of painting elaborate patterns on the skin with henna. There are different types of patterns such as the traditional or custom designs.

“Women get henna because it is of significant importance

in their lives,” said senior and president of ISA, Swetha Pathi.

“It serves as a symbol of good luck and health in the future.”

Students in the Bovee University Center were able to get some knowledge on the history of mehndi.

“Tons of people came out during our second and third day of being in the UC. We made $270 from the event and that is awesome,” said graduate student and vice president of ISA, Santosh Kotha.

The events help bolster the image of the group, Pathi said, and strengthen awareness.

“It also gives knowledge about how others celebrate holidays, what they go through and how they live day-to-day. That’s really important,” Pathi said.

The ISA will also be putting on the main event, the traditions of Diwali, on Nov. 16 in the UC Rotunda from 12:30-3:30 p.m. They will also hold a “flash mob” outside the UC on Monday Nov. 10.

“We need all the support we can get and we want everyone to stop by and celebrate with us,” Kotha said.
