Students put education on hold to volunteer to fight for civil rights in segregated Alabama city Sydney Smith News Editor

This semester, Sydney Koch will not be attending Central Michigan University.

Instead, the Auburn senior is volunteering in Selma, Ala. “The world would say I need to get my degree and then seek a career,” Koch said. “I went to Selma and found my purpose. I saw the injustices there and and wanted to make them right.”

First visiting Selma on an alternative spring break last March, Koch volunteered with the Freedom Foundation, an organization that works on youth development. Though her alternative break ended, Koch’s desire to help Selma did not.

Other volunteers on the alternative break felt the same, and Students Unite was formed as a student-lead civil rights advocacy group targeting social justice issues. Koch picked up her life and moved it to Selma, along with other students from around the country.

Students Unite operates primarily out of Selma, but through social media reaches out to

universities to get more students involved. There are about 40 students working with the organization in Selma, and dozens more around the U.S. forming their own chapters.

Muskegon senior Kaite Young-Kendall works on Students Unite campaigns from CMU. Students Unite became an official registered student organization last week. Having also gone on the alternative break to Selma, Kendall was able to see the town’s need for social justice.

“In Selma, there is a stark contrast between op-

CMUPD stores student weapons for safety with your information,” Yeagley said.

CMU’s weapons policy forbids anyone from carrying a weapon while on university property.

Weapons listed include firearms, fireworks, knives with a blade greater than three inches and bows. Yeagley said the point of the policy is not to infringe on someone’s rights but to keep the campus community safe.

“You might be an expert on weapons safety,” Yeagley said.

“Your roommate however, their friends, other people bustling in and out of your room, they might not know about handling it safely.”

Lt. Larry Klaus said most of the weapons checked in are for hunting.

After two violations of Central Michigan University’s weapons policy, CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley wants to remind students living on campus that they can store firearms at the Combined Services Building.

“It’s a simple process, and it’s free,” Yeagley said. “We lock up your weapon in a designated storage area.”

Students who wish to check in a weapon with the department must bring the weapon unloaded and locked in a case. An officer records their information and provides a receipt. Students may check in multiple weapons with the police department. There is no cost for the service.

2 | Monday, Feb. 16, 2015 | Central Michigan Life | cm-life.com While at CMU, Kendall works to bring awareness to the racial tension of Selma, which she said can apply to pretty much anywhere.

Through poster campaigns and consciousness raising, Kendall starts dialogues about racism in general.

“There are so many different intersecting issues,” Kendall said. “Distribution of wealth, racial identity, violenceit all works together in some way.”

SGA PARKING | continued from 1 something needs to be done or at least to have them look at (the parking problem) a little bit deeper,” McNerney said. “Right now (administration) hasn’t been looking at it very closely.”

The petition asks whether or not students have passes or use meters, and if that factors into making them late for class. Other questions include how often students search to find a parking spot, and how many tickets they accumulated as a result.

McNerney said he would want to see a parking garage installed on campus or even a reworking of commuter lots to accommodate overflow traffic.

“We talked to university administration and (SGA) was told ‘we’ve reviewed CMU’s parking and there’s ample parking on campus,’ which students don’t agree with,”McNerney said. “What (Governmental Affairs) decided to do was to conduct a survey all across campus about parking so we can gauge what students say about parking.”

Although the student feedback about parking availability has been largely negative, McNerney said he intends to continue the survey. The more signatures Governmental Affairs deliver to administrators the better, he said.

“We want to get a good sample of the student population that we could present to the administration so that we can say, ‘you’re saying one thing but the students clearly don’t see that,’” McNerney said.

With a population of about 20,000, more than 80 percent of Selma is black. Almost half of the population lives below the poverty line.

“The schools are pretty much segregated,” Koch said.

“It’s like an unspoken rule.

The private schools are filled with white children, while the public schools predominantly have black children.”

John Gainey, a member of Students Unite in Selma, said there is an absence of strong

role models in Selma children’s lives, as well as a stable family environment. Gainey also highlighted the divide in the community.

“Half the town is rich and white, half the town is poor and black,” Gainey said. “They do not mix. It’s like oil and water.”

To combat this, Students Unite works with the Freedom Foundation and Random Acts of Theater Company, which empowers young people by teaching them teamwork and self-expression. To unite the community, Students Unite is working with these organizations to turn Tepper’s, the largest building in Selma, into a community center, as well as national headquarters for Students Unite and the Freedom Foundation.

The building was bought by the Freedom Foundation and Students Unite is fundraising for its restoration, which includes the installation of a café, community spaces and classrooms and an international nonviolence training center.

“Kids will be able to come and gain job skills,” Kendall said.

Combating hatred

Racism and segregation were present in Selma during the Civil Rights Movement of 1955-1968, something members of Students Unite consider to be an ongoing battle.

“When you cross the bridge in Selma, it feels like you’re

“I know 11 a.m. is a really bad time to find a spot and by 2 p.m., the whole campus is pretty much a zoo with pedestrians and drivers.”

Mae Overholt, Port Huron junior

Overholt said the petition is a great idea.

A student who has dealt with both metered parking and investing in a parking pass, Overholt said she does not notice a difference in time efficiency between the two.

“I know 11 a.m. is a really bad time to find a spot and by 2 p.m., the whole campus is pretty much a zoo with pedestrians and drivers,” Overholt said. “Sometimes you have to park really far away and sprint to class.”

Overholt said adding parking garages could offer more spaces on campus.

“There seems to be more students than cars and not enough spaces,” Overholt said. “I know at MSU they have parking garages here and there around campus so I don’t know if it’d be beneficial to (CMU) to also invest in a parking garage for (students), but it would be nice.”

Kim Speet, manager of Parking Services, said that despite backlash from students, the 11,301 parking spaces and 15 commuter lots are more than enough for students with cars on campus.

It is out of Parking Services’ control, she said, whether or not students can find ample parking in time for class.

“We’re always looking to improve parking and see if

there are different things that we can do to help students,” Speet said. “I’m always looking for additional places to put metered spaces. If a student uses meters we cannot control availability of parking,” she said. “In the long run (buying a pass) is cheaper than using the meters.

SGA’s survey includes an open comment section for students to air their grievances on their own parking predicament.

If the petition reaches 1,000 signatures, McNerney said that the plan is to compile all of the data acquired and format it into a presentation for Ross.

“The Civil Rights Movement did not end with the Voting Rights Act.

Business abroad Student learns self-reliance during study abroad in South Korea

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

Katie Ramsay remembers joining a conga line halfway across the world at the Sports Festival in Seoul, South Korea.

The night is just one of the many that the Livonia senior will never forget when she returns from her study abroad trip in South Korea in June.

The festival lasted two days, ending with a celebration in the streets.

Restaurants provided free food, drinks and music to students who cheered at their doorstep.

Ramsay is studying at the largest and most prestigious university in the country, Korea University in Seoul.

There, she participates in the International Town at Sejong, which requires her to take a Korean culture and a Korean language class. She also studies Management Information Systems and other business courses.

“The first moments of being absolutely alone 7,000 miles from everything you know are utterly terrifying, but learning to embrace that unfamiliarity is a huge step,” Ramsay said. “I’ve never been good with directions or navigation and Google Maps doesn’t work in Asia. I’ve quickly had to learn how to utilize physical maps and all forms public transportation.”

Ramsay had to learn to speak basic Korean from class and around campus to be able to navigate the country.

She learned how to read the Korean written script, Hangul, through her language course.

Today, she can greet someone, introduce herself and order food. It’s common for Koreans to know a few English words, which helps her when she struggles with the language.

“One of the first phrases I learned was how to order a beer,” Ramsay said.

“I also do a lot of pantomiming.”

She realized how easily spotted international students were when she was often approached by those interested in hearing her story.

“There’s also a unique opportunity to bond with students I would have never expected to meet,” Ramsay said.

“The ability to have relationships with a myriad of people with backgrounds unlike mine certainly shapes a new perspective on how I see myself.”

“While it is important to have the ability to absorb information from lectures and textbooks, the most crucial life lessons are those we learn for ourselves.”

Central Review submissions due March 6 The Central Review is a literary journal publishing fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and photography by Central Michigan University undergraduate and graduate students.

Students may submit a one-act play, five poems of any length, three short stories, no longer than 3,000 words each (9,000 words total), or five images of any medium.

“We look for high quality work,” said Zack Riddle, Central Review editor-in-chief. “We like to see that it has been edited.

We want something with not only entertainment, but with emotional depth.”

Any combination of these can be submitted per student, but no more than the given number of items should be sent in. For example, submitting two plays is not allowed.

Each student should also include a short, third person biography alongside his or her work.

Submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. Friday, March 6.

All of these materials should be sent to cmucentralreview@ gmail.com.

LiveWork Detroit! connects students with Detroit jobs

Ramsay finds the benefits of traveling alone to be “innumerable.”

Traveling alone applies skills like independent and critical thinking, selfsustainability, planning and research, personal navigation, communication and common sense.

“While it is important to have the ability to absorb information from lectures and textbooks, the most

crucial life lessons are those we learn for ourselves,” Ramsay said.

“It’s exceptionally convenient because my major at CMU is Information Systems and I have been able to transfer a few courses toward my major with the help of my advisers at the College of Business.”

She arrived in August for the fall semester and stayed until finals com-

pleted Dec. 19. The Korean academic calendar gives students two months off between semesters instead of a Christmas break. During this time, Ramsay decided to travel to Shanghai, China.

She plans on returning to Korea for her second semester on Feb. 27.

She discovered through this first trip by herself that self-reliance is a large aspect of personal travel.

Making study abroad easier Director of Business Student Services Karen Arthur estimates about 70 business students study abroad each year.

Summer is often the most common season (to study abroad) because most students fear a semester abroad may delay their studies, or don’t realize the scholarship opportunities available, Arthur said.

Study Abroad Adviser Sarah Barnard said many students may not be aware of the study abroad cost opportunities and directs them to the study abroad website to learn more.

“The study abroad experience can cost the same as a semester at CMU,” Barnard said. “There’s also additional scholarships available and your financial aid can continue to be used for study abroad programs.”

With research and planning, not being able to afford the trip becomes less likely, Barnard said. Arthur suggests business students study abroad during late sophomore year or second semester of junior year.

Arthur said she noticed students tend to get discouraged with the amount of research that goes into studying abroad. “(With) all of that decision making, some students feel like it takes too much time,” she said. “If you’re going to plan something for three or four months of your life, what’s wrong with investing time or research? Sometimes the things that take the most out of you are what you get the most out of.”

life in brief

Pure Michigan Talent Connect will host the third annual LiveWork Detroit! Roadshow at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Powers Hall ballroom.

“The idea is to bring Detroit to CMU,” said Ian McCain, president of Pure Michigan Talent Connect. “Students should come to the event to learn a little more about Detroit, and gain a more holistic view of the city and hopefully break down some stereotypes that still exist.”

The event will be free and open to the public. Central Michigan University students will have a chance to see job opportunities Detroit has to offer. Students are encouraged to register on Facebook or through Career Services’ “Handshake.”

Companies located in Detroit will be in attendance, including Quicken Loans, Target and Team Detroit.

Companies in attendance will offer opportunities for networking and passing out resumes and business cards.

Jeanette Pierce, from Detroit Experience Factory, will speak at 7 p.m. Food will be provided.

EDITORIAL | Employers look at social media before making hires

You’re in Michigan; drive like it Megan Pacer

Voices Editor

While Mount Pleasant receives considerably less snow on average than other Michigan cities, it still remains a difficult place to drive for about four months out of the year.

The sparkling, sticky snow is pretty to look at as it falls outside your window at night, but what about the next morning when you have 10 minutes to get to class and forgot to brush it off your car?

Far too many drivers are either ill equipped to handle Michigan winters or are disillusioned about how to drive during one.

Too often, I am forced to slam on the breaks to avoid someone else fishtailing along a road or see other drivers forced to deal with a similar circumstance.

Maybe it’s the fact that some of us don’t receive much snow before the spring semester and haven’t yet acclimated to it, or that in the few months this state doesn’t receive snow, we’ve forgotten how it complicates driving conditions.

Either way, driving in Mount Pleasant during winter could stand to be improved for everybody involved.

When in doubt, just go slow. I know how being late to class feels as much as the next student, but is it really worth fishtailing out of control in an intersection or sliding into the back of someone else’s car to get there a few minutes earlier?

Just because you can’t see the ice, that certainly doesn’t mean it’s not there. Again, slow down.

Until recently, I didn’t put much stock into checking the condition of my tires at the start of winter, rather hoping my current ones would just get me safely through. Especially if you have an older vehicle, check to see what kind of tires you’re working with when snow starts to fall, and consider getting snow tires if that’s a possibility.

As always, just following the general safety rules of the road will prevent more winter accidents than not following them. Trying to navigate Mission Street at rush hour, or even any hour, is frustrating. However, acting on that frustration is not worth an accident.

So, buckle up Mount Pleasant, and just be glad we don’t live somewhere with lake effect snow.

Sensible Socializing Students need to take social media seriously

A

s students transition into the professional world, social media

websites change from a place to share experiences with friends to a way employers measure candidates in the job market.

It is imperative that members of our generation use social media responsibly.

The 2014 Social Recruiting Survey performed

by Jobvite found that 93 percent of recruiters will look at a candidate’s social profile on LinkedIn or Facebook before making a hiring decision.

Employers look for examples of a person’s work, professional experience and determine if the person is a fit for their workplace.

Posting photos of a crazy night out or tweeting about a professor you dislike might seem harmless.

Make your four years count There are many memories I will cherish from college besides the dreaded caffeinated all-nighters during finals week every semester.

Freshmen live on campus their first year, but many opt to move off campus into one of the many houses or apartments available for students.

There are a multitude of benefits to living on campus during your undergraduate career.

When filling out the online housing application, students have the option of selecting specific individuals as roommates, but this is not a requirement. There is also a survey that tries to place students together who share common interests, study and sleeping habits.

As a result, many do not know who they will room with, which can be a frightening, nerve-wrack-

It also could be off-putting to potential employers.

When facing a difficult job market, students need to be conscious that the employer at their dream job will be looking at their social media. Students need to make sure those sites are representing them in the best way.

That means not only refraining from posting inappropriate material, but also keeping tabs on what other people are posting about you. Employers will be just as turned off by a picture you’ve been tagged in as they would by one you posted yourself.

Students can use social media to their advantage. Students should fill their news feeds with academic and professional accomplishments, update their LinkedIn profiles and steer clear of inappropriate photos or tweets.

Cleaning up social media sites will be especially helpful to students as February is Fire Up Your Career Month. Central Michigan University Career Services is hosting career fairs and employer spotlight programs throughout the month, continuing with an employer spotlight featuring Symmetry, Inc. at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18 in the Grawn Hall Lobby.

Many term this “going in blind.”

It relies on probability, so you may get someone who likes to take five minute showers, someone who hogs the bathroom for two hours or someone who, for one reason or another, foregoes bathing or laundering their clothes.

With this method, you have the opportunity to meet new people while learning to respect one anowther’s personal space and belongings.

College is a time for many firsts when it comes to managing finances, doing your laundry, learning time management, procuring appropriate study habits and learning to live and make compromises with another human being and share close quarters.

In addition to getting to room with someone you do not know, residence halls provide excellent opportunities to get involved on campus and foster the growth and development of a community.

the pleasure of serving as Kesseler Hall Vice President on our hall council’s executive board.

This provided me with invaluable leadership and group dynamic experience as well as the ability to meet staff and students in the various residence halls around campus. I learned about the planning, budgeting and execution of events and I was also able to network and maintain relationships.

Living on campus provides students with an useful support system.

Resident Assistants are not just on there to bust students for alcohol and other substance infractions, or for the free room and board.

Many of these people are upperclassmen. More often than not they will be able to relate to you when it comes to registering for classes, dealing with less than agreeable professors or even procrastination. Everybody has been guilty of that at some point during his or her time here.

Resident Assistants will occasion-

ally put on programs specific to their floor in order to try to get people familiar with those living around them.

Living in a residence hall provides students with the chance to feel part of a community.

Resident Assistants, Multicultural Advisers and student leaders work throughout each semester to put on philanthropic, educational, social and diversity-based programs to get students out of their rooms and interacting with those living in the hall around them.

Whatever it may be, there are plenty of ways for CMU students to get involved and feel part of a community within their residence halls. There’s something, too, to the convenience of having a food market inside your building or access to the dining facilities rather than having to worry about cooking or shopping for groceries.

The college years go by quickly.

Make the most of them and enjoy them with those around you.

New Venture competitors continue to develop business plan

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

This article is part of a series.

Central Michigan Life has been following this team’s progress before the New Venture Competiton in March.

After talking to seven graphic designers in seven hours, Mount Pleasant senior Andy Clark’s New Venture Competition business plan is becoming increasingly realistic.

Clark and his business partners, Dearborn senior Kevin Keeley and Woodhaven senior Chelsea Barnes, are working to create a casual employment firm, Oddjobs.com.

The company would provide 16 to 25-year-olds with employment opportunities and financial management options, to help them save for future investments.

The team recently focused on creating a platform for their business and decided between the two they’d like to work with.

The New Venture competition will take place March 27. Teams will compete for more than $75,000.

“It’s becoming scarily real.

It’s time to put our degrees to work. It’s stressful, but I love it,” Clark said. “Don’t

get me wrong, college is great. You can go to business school for eight years and no one will teach us probably 80 percent of what you need to know to start something like this.”

Working to be as productive as possible, the trio wanted to distance themselves from

what they learned in class.

They assigned their project tasks based on each team member’s strengths.

Clark is focusing on the development side of the business, while Keeley is focusing on defining markets and demographics. Barnes was assigned the marketing and social media

for the company.

Keeley said the team working to focus on three main points: finances, the developmental relationship and the customer discovery and validation.

The team is working to ensure that Oddjobs.com would be a “more trustworthy” site

for it’s customers compared to websites like CraigsList, LinkedIn and FreeLancer.

The site would feature profile pictures and would serve to a niche market of students.

Oddjobs.com categorizes various jobs by skill sets. The team thinks this would make the interface easier to interact

with. Semi-professional jobs like young students designing a logo for a small business, or shoveling snow would be available for users to sift through.

“Instead of working 40 hours a week while trying to balance school, wouldn’t it be nice to find a job where you can do what you’re good at, and get some beer money or pay off some student loans?” Clark said.

With freelance work, students would post a job, complete it and go home with money and no prior commitment. The website would be good for those who “don’t want to work a conventional job” and they pick the amount of hours they work, Keeley said.

So far, the team has received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback on their idea.

“It’s really nice when someone asks me what I’m working on. I’ll give them a one minute pitch and they’ll be like ‘that’s a great idea, where were you two years ago?’” Clark said.

“Every time I hear that, it helps me build confidence that this is something that could work.”

Central Michigan Life will follow the team throughout preparations for the New Venture Competition in March.

Student Government Association ‘cracks down’ on attendance policy

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

After creating a stronger Membership Committee, the Student Government Association is adding a stricter attendance policy to its Senate and House.

Although last year there were no cases of excessive absences, SGA President Chuck Mahone said he intends to crack down on attendance to more tightly enforce the “bad standings” status achieved when SGA members miss several meetings.

“When you’re in bad standings that means you can no longer speak during our meetings and you (and the RSO you represent) can no longer vote on legisla-

tion,” Mahone said. “Also you cannot apply for the Student Budget Allocation Committee—so your organization can no longer attain funding.”

For members of the house, four meetings are allowed to be missed before the member in question is called before the Membership Committee.

For senators, the number of absences drops to two meetings before they run the risk of being removed. Meetings are held every Monday throughout the semester.

SGA has a general board meeting and then breaks off into sub-committees. A senator can accrue absences at both meetings each week.

Vice President Mariah Urueta said the strict policy on absences is “completely

fair.” She said absent members can stall SGA initiatives.

“If we have people that are missing a week (of meetings) and then the next week someone sends their proxy—if we have people that are coming and going, you can miss a lot of information,” Urueta said. “If people are missing or gone, it causes a big roadblock in our productivity.”

Once an SGA member has racked up a number of absences, they are then brought before the Membership Committee and it is debated how to handle the student from there.

The reason for the stricter policy for senators, Mahone said, is because they are held to a “higher standard” than members of the House.

If an SGA member attains more than their allotted absences, they are brought before the Membership Committee—a panel comprised of the Senate leader, the House leader, the Membership Officer, and two House and two Senate members. Together, the panel figures out whether or not a student deserves to be put in bad standings.

“A student (in bad standing) will come before (the committee) and be put to a vote,” said current Membership Officer and Gaylord junior Teal Olson. “They come before the Membership Committee and plead their case and then we decide from there if it was a legitimate absence or what kind of route we need to take from there.”

If two thirds of the committee votes that absence was not legitimate, the student is placed in bad standings, Olson said.

There is legislation attempting to be passed through the House and Senate, allowing Senators to increase their number of absences to four, although it has yet to be passed.

To avoid falling into bad standing, SGA members are encouraged to use proxies or individuals who serve as a stand in for the House or Senate member that cannot make a meeting.

Above all, Mahone said, the goal of the attendance crackdown was to be fair to RSO’s who attend meetings to receive funding from SGA. “Really there should be no

IF YOU GO: Student Government Association general meetings WHEN: 8 p.m. Monday WHERE: Anspach Hall 162 reason that (SGA members) are ever missing a meeting because they have someone to make their meeting,” Mahone said. “If (SGA members) do (have to be brought before the Membership Committee) then it shows that they’re truly not committed to SGA and we want to make sure that those student dollars are going towards organizations who are here every week.”

students utilize success centers

Locations provide student residents with academic support, quick access

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

When Stephanie Raymond needed help managing her busy class schedule, the answer was just a few feet away from her bedroom door.

The L’Anse junior said Student Success Centers located in residence halls helped her learn time management and charting a schedule of what was most important.

“They showed me great tools on how to stay focused by helping me make to-do lists that charted them in groups, such as important and urgent, important and non urgent and not important (and) not urgent,” Raymond said.

For 12 years, Student Success Centers have been in place to provide students with academic help. There are four centers located within residence halls designed to ensure students succeed in college.

Within each Success Center there are academic advisers, student success coaches and counselors in residence. Academic advisers assist with class scheduling and work with students once they sign a major or minor.

Student success coaches assist students in developing a plan to optimize their personal and academic performances. Counselors in residence provide staff

consultations, support and crisis intervention.

Raymond also said that by hosting many programs, the centers allows students to receive guidance when adjusting to life away from their parents.

“They help students reduce stress by showing them new techniques that will improve the way they do things that they may already do, such as to do lists,” Raymond said.

Assistant director of Residence Life Abbas Hill said the centers are a vital part of the university’s campus.

“By taking advantage of the services offered in our Student Success Centers, students grow and succeed by being fully engaged and committed to their academic success and personal goals,” he said. “Our professional staff is committed to every student’s success, however, as any of them will tell you, the student’s commitment to their own success is what truly makes the difference.”

Joan Schmidt, director of Residence Life, said every student should utilize success centers. She said by having success centers located in residence halls, students are more likely to use them.

“The proximity to students and them not having to go outside is key,” Schmidt said. “The easier it is to be utilized the more it will be utilized.”

Living on campus increases students’ academic performance, retention

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

Despite moving off campus, Margaret Elias still finds the resources she used on Central Michigan University’s campus essential to her success.

The Eastpointe junior said she is able seek academic advising and other student services on campus between classes before returning home.

“I don’t think moving off campus really had an

impact on the amount of resources I use while I am on campus,” Elias said. “Since most of my classes keep me on campus most of the day, I have actually been able to study more during my break than I would if I were to go back home.”

In the Office of Institutional Research’s most recent academic survey, conducted each year from 1999 to 2011, comparing student residents to those who lived off-campus, student residents were reported to have

Campus locations

North Campus Success Center is located in the breezeway of Trout/Calkins. Entry doors are accessible from Menominee parking lot off of Bellows Street.

South Campus Success Center is located on Ojibway Court off Washington Street.

“I believe our Student Success Centers contribute to student GPA’s as well by providing assistance in the form of a Counselor in Residence, Academic Adviser and Success Coach.”

Joan Schmidt, Director of Residence Life a higher GPA than those who lived off campus.

Students living in a residence hall reported an average GPA of 2.73, the average for off-campus was 2.49, according to the study.

The same study reported 92 percent of student residents returned for a second semester, with 60 percent returning for a second year.

Students living off-

campus returned at a rate of 77 percent for a second semester, while less than half of off-campus students returned for a second year at about 42 percent, according to the study.

Lake Orion junior Andie Roll said her GPA dropped .02 from her overall average when she left campus.

“I think I studied better being on campus because

things like the UC or my dorm’s lounge were only a short walk away. Now I have to pack up and drive there,” Roll said. “I saw my friends studying more when I was on campus. That really motivated me more than now when I hardly see my roommates doing anything.”

Joan Schmidt, director of Residence Life, said living in a residence hall provides students with a base for starting their college careers.

“It provides them much more than a place to eat and sleep but also a wonderful opportunity to learn how to live with others, become a part of a community, and

grow while learning many new things about themselves and others,” Schmidt said.

The proximity to academic resources offered throughout campus, Schmidt said, is the reason for higher GPAs among student residents.

“I believe our Student Success Centers contribute to student GPA’s as well by providing assistance in the form of a Counselor in Residence, Academic Advisor and Success Coach,” Schmidt said. “I believe the passages that our students go through, particularly their first year, are addressed very well by living in our residence halls.”

Fairies are sprinkling condoms around residence halls.

Voices for Planned Parenthood has put together a group of women dedicated to promoting safe sex. Each year VOX volunteers take sex education training to be able to answer students’ questions.

This year VOX has six fairies delivering condoms to residence halls a few times each month. These fairies are equipped with tutus, wings and wands embellished with condoms.

Condom fairies decided when and where they will make surprise visits. Though deliveries are often spontaneous, requests can be made through the condom fairies’ Twitter or Tumblr pages.

“Few students take handfuls, some take just one or two. Others shut the door in my face,” said VOX Vice President Keelei Sage.

A condom fairy’s main concern is for the students who are uncomfortable with buying their own condoms.

Detroit sophomore Sean Ashby heard about the condom fairy from friends before meeting one of the volunteers at an event.

“I think that it’s a good mission teaching college student to be safe especially if they haven’t been taught at home,” Ashby said.

ing their services members to males named “condom crusaders.” By fall 2015 the condom fairies want to broaden their demographic to more upperclassmen.

“Soon I would like the fairies to show up to lease signing parties or walk around at apartment complexes,” Sage said.

Not all students are comfortable talking about sex, which is why VOX puts on events like

“Sexy Time in South Quad” and “Sextival” each year. Students can anonymously write down questions on a notecard for the condom fairies to answer.

“My first instinct would be to laugh if I ever ran into a condom fairy or a condom crusader,” Mulliken junior Alex Rogers said. “I would take the condoms because I do not need a little Rogies running around yet.”

Twice-injured guard Green helping women’s basketball fight through season from bench

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

File Photo | Greg Cornwall Jessica Green led the Chippewas’ offense during the MidAmerican Conference Tournament last season.

After tearing her left ACL during her sophomore season, it took Jessica Green some time to regain her confidence both mentally and physically, she said.

Just as Green, the Central Michigan University women’s basketball’s star guard, started to get her certainty back on the court, injury blocked her again.

With 42 seconds left in CMU’s game against Dayton on New Year’s Eve, Green fell to the floor clutching her knee. She had torn her ACL for a second time.

Green laid on the floor for several minutes before being helped to the bench.

“I didn’t think it was going to be that bad,” Green said. “The first time (I tore my ACL) I couldn’t walk at all. But come to find out it was and it took my year away yet again.”

Coming off of a season where she earned an honorable mention All-Mid-American Conference performer, it was another unfortunate diagnosis for Green. She was averaging a career-high 13 points per when she became injured.

“I couldn’t figure out why it happened again,” Green said.

A medical redshirt is Green’s only hope of playing college basketball again.

The Chippewas would need to play in 33 games this season — the Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinal ­­— for Green to be eligible for a medical redshirt.

Senior forward Kerby Tamm said she was devastated for Green.

“If you come to our games you know how competitive Jess is,” Tamm said. “She wants to win. She’s a big part of fueling our fire. Even off the court she gets us going.” w green | 8

Women’s basketball blown out by EMU 85-64, defense continues to struggle

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan University women’s basketball team fell to Eastern Michigan University 85-64 Saturday.

EMU’s 3-point shooting kept the Chippewas behind for the majority of the game. “(EMU) shot the ball better than they’ve shot it in a long time,” said Head Coach Sue Guevara.

Senior guard Crystal Bradford did not play for the second consecutive

game due to a knee injury. No timetable on Bradford’s return has been given.

The Chippewas’ point guard tandem of freshman Amani Corley and junior Da’Jourie Turner combined for six points on 1-for-9 shooting from the field and five turnovers in CMU’s loss.

“We have to get better production out of our point guard position,” Guevara said. “It’s not good enough.”

Freshman guard Cassandra Breen broke a 10-game streak without making a 3-pointer, shooting 4-for-8 against the Eagles.

Softball

“(The shooting struggles are ) frustrating,” Guevara said. “We’re getting really good looks. We just have to keep shooting the basketball with confidence.”

The Eagles used two runs in the first half to gain momentum and put the game out of reach early.

The Chippewas trailed 8-7 with 15:55 remaining in the first half, and did not score a basket until the 10:30 mark. In that span, EMU went on an 11-0 run to widen its lead to 19-11. w women’s hoops | 8

Green still questions if she could have done anything differently in the seconds leading up to her latest injury.

“Sometimes I think I could have prevented it,” she said. “If I would have just let that girl from Dayton score. Now I just have to work through it.”

Green underwent surgery to repair her right knee on Jan. 30. Her rehabilitation process began immediately.

“The recovery has been pretty much the same,” Green said. “The most surprising thing is my shins are really numb. Last time my shins were not numb at all. My knee hasn’t been giving me any pain.”

there through every step of Green’s rehab procedure.

Green and Jones work together each day, one step at a time.

“After class every day I come and work with Robin,” Green said. “We’re working on flexing and bending, so I can walk and get off of these crutches. I’m tired of being on crutches. I’ve been on crutches for too long.”

Head Coach Sue Guevara and Green’s teammates have used their senior leader’s misfortune as motivation this season. The Chippewas wear warm-up T-shirts which read “3 UP” in honor of Green.

“At first everybody was still shocked. Coach gave me 24 hours to cry and get it all out,” Green said. “She gave (the team) 24 hours too.

Then we had to move on. I just want them to not think about it so much and to go out and play their game.”

Guevara said Green remains an important member of CMU’s squad off the court.

“Your heart goes out to the kid because it is her senior year,” Guevara said.

“She doesn’t have another shot. You just really have to try and help her focus on what her role is now, while she’s in rehab. (Her role is) helping our younger point guards develop in the position that she played.”

Junior guards Da’Jourie Turner and freshman Amani Corley have been splitting with the task of matching Green’s production.

“Jessica is like a big sister to me,” Turner said. “After all games she lets me know what I’m doing wrong and what I’m doing right and what I can improve on.”

Green tells the younger Chippewas to cherish each moment on the court.

the sky is not falling on the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team.

Saturday’s 85-64 loss to Eastern Michigan put a major dent in the Chippewas’ title hopes. This team has a few issues. The time to correct those problems is drawing near.

The most obvious issue to

work on is getting Crystal Bradford healthy. Her 20 points per game and defensive abilities are a game changer. In the four games the Inkster senior has missed in the past two seasons, the Chippewas have lost all four by an average of 10 points.

Bradford will be needed to win games down the stretch

“My advice to them was to have more confidence in themselves,” Green said. “I have confidence they can do it. You have to make people respect you. You can’t take anything for granted because you never know when it could all be gone.”

Green is 16th on CMU’s all-time career scoring list with 1,212 points and has accomplished a great deal at CMU during her four years in Mount Pleasant.

The support Green has received has not only come from family members and teammates, but also from other coaches, CMU fans and fellow students.

“There has definitely been a lot that has helped me get through this,” Green said. “It means a lot to me.

It shows me I have had an impact on this game. I think people respect me and respect my game.

and in the postseason. CMU is currently on course to earn the eight seed in the MAC Tournament. Holding on the home court advantage in first round will be key if the team wants to get to the MAC Championship.

Healing Bradford will take time and patience.

The second issue is the team’s first-half performances. The Chippewas have trailed at the half of four of their last five games and have faced double-digit deficits in three of those games.

Opposing teams are beating

Women’s Hoops | continued from 7

After CMU managed to pull within seven points with two minutes before halftime, EMU went on a 10-0 run to end the half and owned a 4528 halftime lead.

Senior forward Kerby Tamm, who finished the game with a career-high 21 points and a career-high seven 3-pointers, said the Chippewas’ poor defense was a contributor to their offensive struggles.

“Defensively I thought we had some lapses, and that really separated the game for us,” Tamm said.

The Chippewas shot 33.8 percent from the field in the loss.

“We’re just still looking for people to step up and be consistent throughout practice and the games,” Tamm said.

CMU to the opening punch, making it difficult for the Chippewas to start a comeback. It is hard to chase a game for 40 minutes, so CMU needs to get out in front early and shift the pressure onto the teams they are facing.

The final issue is a matter of consistency. It is something Head Coach Sue Guevara preaches every day.

It is hard to win when a team doesn’t have something they can count on every time they step out on the court.

CMU has lost six of eight games, but Guevara said the way the Chippewas respond mentally will determine how they fair the rest of the season.

“We have six more games to give it everything we have, and staying in the game mentally,” she said.

Tamm said the team’s confidence level remains high even in the mists of a current 3-game losing streak.

well. In other parts of the season the guard play has been solid.

CMU’s 3-point shooting shined on Saturday, but other areas of the team’s game were lacking. If CMU can put together a good performance in multiple aspects of the game, they will be a hard team to beat.

The Chippewas were able to do a better job of this in the early part of the season.

Wrestling gets ‘punked’ by Old Dominion in second MAC loss of season

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

A heated matchup between Old Dominion University (114, 4-1) and the Central Michigan University wrestling team (7-6, 5-2) resulted in a loss for the Chippewas on Sunday in McGuirk Arena.

ODU, No. 17 in the country, handed CMU its second Mid-American Conference loss 22-9.

Down 15-9 halfway through the meet, CMU was looking to mount a comeback. With two matches left, the Chippewas needed back-to-back wins from sophomores Jordan Ellingwood and Austin Severn to tie the match.

Both Ellingwood and Severn lost their matches and the game slipped away from CMU. “I am not real happy, to be honest,” Head Coach Tom Borrelli said.

ODU Head Coach Steve Martin could be heard challenging the CMU crowd.

After his 6-1 win over Wohlfert, ODU junior Tristan Warner pointed to the crowd, then flung his headgear off as he left the circle.

In the last match with the win all but secure for ODU, sophomore Jack Dechow shoved Severn off the mat.

According to Borrelli, OD’s behavior started before the match began.

No penalties were given for any of the incidents.

“We got punked out today from the time that team got here,” Borrelli said. “The stuff going on around their bench bothered me. Our team needs to toughen up.”

At 141-pounds, CMU junior Zach Horan (No. 8) defeated Chris Mecate (No.12) 3-1 in double overtime. Through three periods, the match was tied at one. It took second tiebreaker for Horan to record the win, his 15th of the season.

Men’s basketball claims MAC West Division lead with win at Buffalo

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

Monica Bradburn | Staff Photographer

Junior guard Chris Fowler jumps past two Western Michigan players for a shot on Feb. 7 at McGuirk Arena.

The past three seasons, the Chippewas finished fifth out of six Mid-American Conference West Division teams with five, four and three MAC wins respectively.

CMU was predicted to finish fifth again this season in the MAC Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll.

After Toledo’s one-point overtime loss on Friday at home and CMU’s one-point win Saturday at Buffalo, the Chippewas sit in first place heading into this week.

A 13-point halftime deficit stood in the way of the Chippewas Saturday, but similar to their last game with Buffalo this season, the strong second half prompted a comefrom-behind victory.

“As a team, we knew we were going to have to battle together,” said redshirt freshman Josh Kozinski “We all did it together, it wasn’t just me.”

Kozinski hit all five of his 3-pointers in the second half and scored 15 points.

CMU won the game the way

UP NEXT CMU (18-5) vs. NIU (10-13) When: Wednesday Time: 7 p.m. EST Where: McGuirk Arena

Toledo lost its game a day earlier: Free throws.

With 8.3 seconds to play, and the game tied at 74, junior guard Chris Fowler was sent to the free-throw line and made one of two, leading to the Chippewas’ 75-74 win.

“I really wanted to leave as little time as possible for them,” Fowler said, who led the Chippewas with 22 points. “I was basically trying to control my thoughts, control my breathing and go to the line and do what we practice every day.”

During Friday’s loss, Toledo missed a free throw with the game tied and one second remaining, sending the game to overtime.

Kent State made a free throw to break a 75-75 tie in overtime with two seconds to go, knocking the Rockets out of the MAC West’s first-place spot.

While the Chippewas sit atop the MAC West standings, one game separates first place in the MAC, which will receive a doublebye in the MAC Tournament, and fifth place, which receives no byes.

“We realize how the top of the conference is so crowded,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “We just have to focus on how hard we play and not be even concerned with standings.”

Next up for CMU is Northern Illinois, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at McGuirk Arena. The game starts a four game stretch for the Chippewas against teams with losing records in the MAC. CMU and Toledo will play at McGuirk Arena Tuesday, March 3 in the second-to-last game of the regular season and the last home game for CMU. The Chippewas defeated the MAC West favorites in the conference opener 65-62 on Jan. 6.
