Life in brief UNIVERSITY Board of trustees to meet Thursday Central Michigan University’s Board of Trustees will meet Thursday, marking newly appointed trustee Rich Studley’s first meeting.

A motion will be considered authorizing President George Ross to ratify and sign collective bargaining agreements for 2015-2016 with the Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council and the Union of Teaching Faculty.

Trustees will also consider construction of Grawn Hall.

Proposed plans call for a 6,600 square-foot, two-story addition on the west side of Grawn and renovation of 16,200 square-feet of space.

In addition to $200,000 already allocated for project planning, trustees will be asked to approve an additional $10.8 million to design and complete the project.

A motion to approve planning, design and installation of a natural gas burner on boiler #4 in the Central Energy Facility will be considered, totaling $1.7 million in upgrades to the steam generation system.

STATE SENATE Ross to testify for state funding Thursday The State Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education will hear testimony from President George Ross 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Charles V. Park Library.

The hearing will be the first in the 2015-2016 state budget process. Last week, Gov. Rick Snyder unveiled his proposed budget, which includes an additional $28 million for Michigan’s 15 public universities. The proposal includes a three percent partial restoration of funding for CMU. Wayne State University and the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service also are scheduled to testify.

Electronic cigarettes being tested for potential health risks by researcher on campus

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

A “safe alternative” to smoking cigarettes is being tested at Central Michigan University.

Neeraj Vij, an associate professor of molecular and cell biology, is conducting research with students and fellows on the effects of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes and secondhand smoke.

“Electronic cigarettes impact protein processing which causes programmed cell death,” Vij said.

Vij and his team exposed five mice

to vapors from an electronic cigarette. The mice inhale the vapors for extended periods. Molecular mechanism in the mice are studied to trace any causes of lung disease.

Electronic cigarettes are a safety hazard for children, Vij said. He has submitted an abstract on the actual health effects of using e-cigarettes and is awaiting publication in March.

It is important to educate parents on the potential risk of leaving e-cigarettes unattended in their homes.

“There is no safety cap which makes it easy for children to get a hold of,” he said. ¨There has been a

recent accidental death of a 1-yearold child in the U.S. We’re pushing companies to create child-proof packaging to avoid this. Federal legislation to pass regulations is currently pending in both the House and the Senate.”

The primary focus of Vij’s laboratory is to identify “the physical process” associated with lung disease or injury. His lab also concentrates on the identification of therapeutic strategies for chronic obstructive lung diseases.

One of two main goals of Vij’s research is to show the dangers of

secondhand cigarette smoke.

“The concern is with children getting exposed to secondhand smoke,” Vij said. “This can be car exposure, same room exposure and smoke extracts from fingers. All of this exposure can incite emphysema.”

Vij’s goal to limit secondhand smoke has already spread on campus.

He worked with other university leaders to make CMU a smoke-free campus in order for his research to qualify for specific grants for CMED. “The focus of my lab is working on w cigarettes | 6

Resisting and obstructing citations increase in 2014

By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

CHIPpewas HEAD WEST Track and Field teams head to Grand Valley State on Friday

The number of citations issued for resisting arrest and obstruction of justice increased in 2014.

Central Michigan University and Mount Pleasant police departments issued a combined total of 49 citations, up from a combined 44 in 2013.

Of those citations, 15 were issued

by CMUPD in 2014, compared with eight the previous year. Police do not specifically record whether citations are issued to students.

The charge is typically a felony that carries a potential sentence of two years in prison and a fine of $2,000, with penalties that become more severe depending on the situation.

The charges cover a broad range of behavior that can include assault, battery, opposing and endangering a

police officer.

Police said while resisting arrest is a generally straightforward charge, obstructing justice depends on the situation. CMUPD Lt. Larry Klaus said obstruction generally involves people hindering police work. “(Citations are written when people) place roadblocks in the way of an investigation or lie to the police.

Those things can earn you a charge of obstructing justice,” Klaus said. “Work with us, not against us.”

From a student perspective, whether or not they are charged with resisting or obstructing can seem based on the discretion of the officer.

Clarkston freshmen Nicomedes Rodriguez said if he ever faced the charge, he would defend himself in court.

“I would never try to run from the police,” Rodriguez said. “If some-

thing happened, I would rather tell my side of the story than just accept the charge.”

MPPD Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said people who do not know how to interact with the police often get themselves into trouble. He remembers the most severe experience he had citing someone for resist-

ing and obstructing.

“I went in to break up a fight,” Browne said. “All of a sudden, one of the subjects punched me in the face.

Hip hop violinist keeps feet moving during Black History Month food taster

By Ashley Weaver Staff reporter

Daniel Davis incorporates hip hop and soul into his violin playing.

In celebration of Black History Month, Central Michigan University brought hip hop violinist Daniel Davis, who performed Monday during a food taster event. With mouths full of chicken, mac and cheese and cornbread, the audience was encouraged by Davis to think outside of the box.

“Everyone thinks people like me are rappers or drug dealers, but we’re not,” Davis said. ¨It does not matter what your demeanor is, you can always be and do something different.”

Born in Charleston, S.C., Davis originally hated playing the violin, but thought it was a better option than playing the alternative: handbells. At age 12, Davis started taking lessons at a

“I was hoping for good music and that’s exactly what I got,” said Houghton Lake freshman Brianna McGregor.

While performing some of today’s top hip hop hits, Davis used his entire body to play his instrument. Although there was a chair on stage, Davis never sat down.

Instead, Davis moved the length of the stage.

After playing five songs, the audience called for an encore. With one back-up song prepared on his set list, Davis got the audience up on their feet. No dance floor

was in sight, yet members of the audience stood up and danced to the rhythm of Davis’ violin.

Many audience members were required to attend because of a Multicultural Advancement Cofer Scholarship.

MAC scholars are required to attend two Black History Month events to broaden their cultural outlook.

“I chose this Black History Event because it worked with my schedule, but I stayed because the hip hop violinist made the even more current and relatable to the African American culture,” said Laingsburg freshman Jordan Ransom.

Browne said people who overreact to being cited by an officer are the ones who usually get arrested for resisting and obstructing.

“Most people who are being cited for minor in possession, or maybe open intoxicants, just accept the citation and pay the fine,” Browne said.

INVASION OF THE FAUCET SNAILS Faculty and students lead the nation in assessing the health of the Great Lakes

By Emily DeRuiter Staff reporter

The Institute for Great Lakes Research is using a $10 million government-funded grant to sample and assess the health of every coastal wetland in the Great Lakes.

“There are nine universities and three government agencies (involved in the project),” said Neil Schock, professional wetland technician. “It’s a big Great Lakes nation-wide project through the (US Environmental Protection Agency’s) Lake National Programs Office, (and) part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.”

Headed by Director Don Uzarski, the institute is in charge of national research to assess the health of the Great Lakes’ coasts. Their research includes taking a close look at invasive species like faucet snails, how wide-spread they are and to discover ways to manage their population.

“The No. 1 thing is to find out where it is, and then prevention will come through education,”

Uzarski said.

The institute is in the final year of its five-year grant. It has received national attention for its research into a non-native species called the faucet snail. The invasive species is causing changes to the Great Lakes’ ecosystem.

The existence of the faucet snail in the Great Lakes threatens native snail species, waterfowl like bluebill ducks and coot and disrupts natural food-web dynamics.

“The main concern is they carry three intestinal flukes (parasites),” Schock said. “These intestinal flukes usually end up killing waterfowl that consume (the snails). North Central Minnesota and a couple of lakes at the upper Mississippi River have seen up to 9,000 dead birds from the invasion of the faucet snail.”

Prior to CMU’s project, the USGS database for keeping tabs on invasive species did not show any of the snails in areas around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Uzarski said CMU has provided a great deal of information to databases such as

“North Central Minnesota and a couple of lakes at the upper Mississippi River have seen up to 9,000 dead birds from the invasion of the faucet snail.”

Neil Schock, Professional Wetland Technician these.

“We were able to expand the USGS database tremendously,” Uzarski said. “It wasn’t the original intent of the project, but we try to collect everything that’s there, so if there are invasive species, we find them.

Schock said the faucet snail came to North America in ship’s ballast—rock, soil and vegetation gathered from Europe, which was used as weight to balance a ship on its return.

“They are native to Europe from Scandinavia all the way to Greece,” Schock said. “We (Americans) were probably responsible for their indoctrination of the Great Lakes around 1870—they can track it back to the timber industry through shipping.”

To prevent the spread of faucet snails and other destructive species, Uzarski said boaters should clean their boats with a diluted bleach solution when moving them to different locations.

“It’s not going to be visible,” Uzarski said. “Any vegetation on the boat potentially has invasive species associated with it, so you need to clean it out. We are not going to eradicate it, (but we) can manage it and do our best to adapt.”

Junior Dominic Vendittelli is a wetland technician for the institute.

Vendittelli shared why he values being a part of the Great Lakes Research program.

“I want to know how the environment is adversely (affected by) humans,” Vendittelli said.

Residence hall lots a low priority for winter snow removal

By Adrian Hedden News Editor

As she watched her classmates slip and fall repeatedly on the ice coating campus after a recent snowfall, Rylee Whitford grew concerned that something more needed to be done.

The Negaunee sophomore said campus sidewalks often become dangerous during winter.

“I’ve watched a lot of people fall,” Whitford said. “The sidewalks need more care. They should lay down more salt.”

Vice President of Facilities Management Steve Lawrence said his department identifies several priorities when planning to remove snow and ice from Central Michigan University’s campus.

Residence hall parking lots are among the lowest priority.

Lawrence said first priorities are commuter lots, handicap parking spots and ramps, and 7 1/2 miles of critical path sidewalks, along with service drives students use to walk to class.

“We coordinate with residence life to get students to move out of lots,” Lawrence said. “We can’t do

everything at once, so we work our way up to (residence hall lots).”

A resident of Barnes Hall, Ann Arbor sophomore Stephanie Dalton has slipped on the ice several times this winter. She said the low priority of residence halls is obvious by the amount of snow remaining after plowing is completed.

“Usually there’s a mountain of snow in the parking lots,” Dalton said.

“It’s hard to make things perfect, but they should really make (residence hall lots) a higher priority. The roads can get slippery. I’ve slipped a few times just crossing the street.”

Helping provide safe transportation to and around campus is the main goal, Lawrence said.

About 15 employees are tasked with removing the snow. They use three end-loader trucks outfitted with snow blades, two dump trucks and multiple self-propelled mowers outfitted with snow plows. The staff is responsible for 29 miles of sidewalk, 92 acres of parking lots and 4 1/2 miles of roads.

All must be plowed.

Many vehicles also have salters attached, although Lawrence said salt is ineffective when the

temperature drops below 18 degrees.

Facilities Management purchases salt for $65 per ton. He said the maximum amount allowed to be purchased is 1,000 tons and the minimum is 500.

This year has been “fairly light,” Lawrence said. The first major snow removal project Sunday, Feb. 1.

Workers were plowing from 9 p.m.-

8 a.m. to remove large amounts of snow and ice from campus roads and walkways. “(Plowing) usually happens at night,” Lawrence said. “We’ve had a number of snowfalls this year. (Feb. 1) was the biggest effort of the season.

Every snow storm is different, you can’t hardly predict how long it’s going to take.”

Special Olympics Michigan is hosting the 2015 Polar Plunge on Saturday, Feb. 21.

O’Kelly’s/Wayside will host the family friendly event.

Registration starts at 11 a.m. and the plunge starts at noon.

“It’s one of those charities where you get more out than what you put in,” said Aaron Mills, Public Relations and Social Media Manager of the Special Olympics Michigan.

Teams and individuals can register at firstgiving.com until the plunge.

This year, the event has 49 teams, and a total of 231 individual fundraisers, which have raised more than $38,000. Funds are still being raised. Over 21,000 Special Olympian athletes will benefit from funds raised.

TWC’s Senior Academic Program Advisor Jaclyn Sheridan will be discussing potential internship and seminar opportunities in the Capitol with prospective students.

TWC offers a 12-credit-hour internship during the summer and a 15-credit-hour internship during the spring and fall semesters. Internships are only available for majors within the political science and public administration department.

However, TWC also offers one-to-two week seminar opportunities for students of any major.

Central Michigan University has been partnering with the Washington Center to give students the opportunity to experience life and work in Washington DC since August 2012.

“You can’t beat living and working in Washington,” said political science professor Joyce Baugh. “You never know what opportunities it could open up.”

This event is sponsored by the department of political science and public administration.

This week in cmu history

University Changes its name On Feb. 18, 1955, Central Michigan Life reported on the changing of the name of the university.

The Interim Committee on Higher Education of the state legislature recommended CMU change its name from Central Michigan College of Education to Central Michigan College.

The new name was a result of growth and expansion.

The article explained that the increased birthrate alone was expected to increase CMU’s enrollment to between 8,000 and 10,000 by 1970.

When CMU opened in 1892, it was called Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute. It soon became known as Central Michigan Normal School. When it became a four-year college, the name was changed to Central State Teacher’s College.

When the name of the college was changed to Central Michigan College of Education it was because the term “Teacher’s College” no longer accurately represented CMU. CMU became Central Michigan University in 1959.

USE YOUR

VOICE

Board of Trustees meeting is a chance to use your voice

TO SPEAK

To request to address the Board of Trustees, visit cmich.edu/bot/ and fill out the electronic request form. You can also bring a hard copy submission to the board meeting, which should include a title, your name, address and phone number, your relationship to the university, your comment topic and whether it is related to an item on the agenda.

The deadline to submit the online request is 24 hours before the meeting takes place.

Students will have the chance to voice their opinions openly to members of the administration before they decide on matters directly affecting the university.

The Board of Trustees will hold their next formal meeting at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 19 in the President’s Conference Room in the Bovee University Center.

Individual meetings for Academic Student Affairs, Finance and Facilities, Trustees-Student Liaison and Trustees-Faculty Liaison committees will take place from 2:10 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday in the same room.

Those looking to have their voices heard should consider the meetings their best opportunities. The public comment section at the end of the meeting gives them the perfect opportunity to air grievances or concerns not related to that day’s agenda.

Where else will a student be able to address their university president, provost and board members all at the same time?

During Thursday’s meeting, the board will discuss a major addition and renovation to Grawn Hall, a $1.7 million renovation to the campus steam generation system and granting tenure to 22 faculty members.

The decisions made in Board of Trustees meetings always have an impact on students at this university.

The board voted to raise tuition by $11 per credit hour in May, 2014, approved the $12 million construction project for the College of Medicine’s Saginaw location in September and voted to raise the president’s base salary to $430,000 in a special meeting on Dec. 17.

These are decisions that affect every single student, whether it be the way their tuition dollars are being spent, the kind of courses they will be able to take or the quality of the facilities they will be using.

If students want to make their opinions known before decisions like these are made, they need to stand up and make themselves heard. At the very least, the opinion of the student body would be better represented in the meetings if students took advantage of the open comment sections.

Outside of being involved in Student Government Association, attending Board of Trustees meetings is the best way to make sure your opinion is heard by those in power. Voicing your opinion face to face with members of the board and administration leaves a more powerful impact.

If you disagree with a proposed policy change, tell them. If you feel more attention needs to be given to a certain college or building, tell them.

If nothing else, attend to stay up to date and informed about the changes being made to our institution.

For more topics up for discussion at Thursday’s meeting, visit the full agenda.

Every student has a voice that matters. Now is your chance to use it.

SGA Forum kicks off the start of 2015 election process

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

To begin the 2015 election season, Central Michigan University’s Student Government Association hosted an election forum during its regularly scheduled meeting Monday.

SGA leaders announced a list of seats that will be open to students. Among the open seats were president and vice president on a single ticket, treasurer and more than 20 senators.

The forum covered the process for running. Representatives of each open post also took questions from the audience about their duties in SGA. Elections Director Josh Palmer opened the forum explaining the packets containing election guidelines.

“The election packet ex-

plains all the rules according to the bylaws for what it’s like to be an unofficial candidate,” Palmer said. “Unofficial candidate means that you are looking to run for the position, but it is not yet past the filing deadline.”

All applications must be turned into the elections director mailbox in the basement of the Bovee University Center, 104G in the Student Involvement Center by noon Feb. 27.

Candidates will be announced March 2.

Students interested in running for either president or vice president must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average and acquire 500 signatures of support.

Treasurer candidates are required to have at least a 2.5 GPA and 250 signatures. Sena-

tors must have a 2.0 GPA and need no support signatures in order to be eligible for election.

SGA Senator Rebecca Detroyer spoke at length about what it means to be a senator.

“You hold three office hours a week as a senator and that’s divided up amongst talking to people on your committee and projects,” Detroyer said. “Senators work on projects which can make campus a better place or something that they’re really passionate about. The Senate Leader will help you make progress.”

Calli Morris | Staff Photographer Student Government Association Vice President Mariah Urueta presents the duties of a Vice President Monday in Anspach Hall.

Past projects SGA senators enacted include petitioning to place pencil sharpeners in a hall which didn’t have any, and launching an educational campaign around Halloween advocating against wearing racist costumes.

SGA President Chuck Mahone reminded students though

the election process may be tough, it is an excellent way for an individual to “get their feet wet” in the realm of politics. He warned students of difficulties individuals might face while running for president.

“This is not a position to be taken lightly,” Mahone said. “You represent every

single person that calls themselves a Chippewa and that’s something you need to do wholeheartedly.”

Students who were unable to make Monday’s election forum can find the paperwork to apply on the SGA Orgsync site. All students are eligible to run for a position.

students in attendance were given the opportunity to ask Ross questions. Many were concerned with educational and financial opportunities. They also addressed racial tension on campus, and asked if more classes for international students could be held closer together.

“What should students do if we face a racial incident or harassment?” asked senior and ISO member Omar Abuzahria.

Ross said he sympathized with students’ concerns. He pointed them to the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity to report any civil rights issues. Ross also said he hoped to “have a conversation” with Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services Steven Johnson or the registrar to discuss a tighter concentration of classes.

“I can’t promise that because I’m just hearing about this,” Ross said about class locations. “What I do promise is a follow-up.”

Abdulrahman Alfawaza, a

Saudi Arabian junior and ISO member, said Ross’ speech addressed many concerns he and his classmates share.

“I think he clarified many points for international students,” Alfawaza said.

“What he said was really beneficial for us to hear, and he addressed many difficulties and questions we have as students.”

After his speech, the ISO awarded Ross with a plaque commending him for his willingness to work with the international community. Interim Dean of Graduate Studies Roger Coles and Vice Provost of Academic Effectiveness Claudia Douglas also received commendations, for their work with the international community.

Ross concluded the event by thanking audience members for their honest questions and feedback.

“You make us stronger by being here. We learn from you and you learn from us,” he said. “You make our community stronger.”

Business in Medicine to build relationship with college of business

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

With the help of two other College of Medicine students, Nick Cozzi is forming a partnership between Central Michigan University’s business and medical colleges.

The student organization, Business in Medicine, was started by Alexander Ghannam, Christopher Khaery and Cozzi after noticing a void in the medical school. To fill the void the students placed an emphasis on positive business models for successful primary care practices.

“My goal is to integrate my business experience into my medical school training,” Cozzi said. “We are trying to show business practices that students can utilize when they go to open their own practices.”

A Chicago native, Cozzi is a first-year medical student who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-- Madison with a degree in Neurobiology in 2012.

He received his Master of Business Administration from Saint Xavier University in Chicago in 2013. The combination of disciplines was inspired by Cozzi’s passion for innovative healthcare business practices.

“There’s an old adage that says, ‘healing is an art, medicine is a vocation, and healthcare is a business’,” he said. “The real challenge for physicians of tomorrow, like myself and my colleagues are, how do we integrate that? I think looking at novel business solutions and integrating them into reality are going to make our respective practices sustainable.”

CMED’s mission is to place primary care physicians in rural and underserved areas in Michigan. Cozzi said there is a need to educate medical students on sound business practices, so they can be prepared to run their own offices.

“We’re finding ways to bring in physicians who have paid off their loans and are successful,” Cozzi said. “If you can find an opportunistic void and fill it with something you could also be successful.”

In order to provide examples of physicians serving rural areas the group holds events where speakers provide business advice. In the fall, Business in Medicine hosted an event with Lee Cockerell, a retired Disney vice president of operations, who talked to medical students about the importance of putting patient care and concerns first.

Interning with the United States Secret Service, during the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election taught Cozzi how the agency’s motto of being “Worthy of Trust and Confidence” can apply to patients.

“How do we do that? What we are (myself, Alex Ghanam, Chris Khoury) trying to do in the Business in Medicine organization is connect medical and business students and apply what Lee Cockerell of Disney said,” Cozzi said.

During winter break Cozzi worked at a pediatric center in the Mayo Clinic. He heard stories about St. Jude’s Hospital, a model in which finances are not a barrier for families. Cozzi also learned about the tough decisions parents are faced with when finance is a problem.

“I always looked at them with admiration that one day I could work for a hospital like that,” Cozzi said. “If I could develop a model it would be like St. Judes, cost not being an option or a deciding factor.”

Though health care is a business, Cozzi said the idea of combining business and medicine is still unpopular when looking through a single lens.

“Integrating business into

medicine has been taboo because business is often viewed solely as losses and profits,” he said. “Given the changing times, integrating business into medicine has dictated that we need to look at things with a different perspective.”

Business in Medicine along with funding from AHEC and CMED will provide a mentorship program with local high schools to ¨build the bridge for

great leaders.” The program will launch in the spring and the first class of high school students will be introduced in the fall.

The group is also planning meeting and lunches with leaders in the college of business to form a long-term relationship with business and medical students.

“Future physicians need to understand what business we

are really in, and if we treated patients more like highly evaluated clients who we want to retain, we would be more likely to administer better long-term care,” Cozzi said. “Future physicians have to think differently than physicians did 30 years ago. Much of technology and how to we utilize it is changing and we have to lead through the change.”

and how these molecular mechanisms and pathways get modified during a particular disease state.¨ Vij works with six CMU students—four from the biology department and two from CMED—and Indian post doctoral fellow, Prashanth Chandarmani. The group uses a combination of models to research the development

of lung disease.

One model is in-vitro systems, cell cultures that grow on plates. Another is murine model where different molecular mechanisms induce levels of genes in disease, and are studied at a molecular level.

“We have a machine in the lab that is used to model human disease by providing cigarette smoke to mice in a

chamber in order for them to develop emphysema,” Vij said.

Vij is frequently invited to serve as a reviewer for various Journals and grant review study sections. His own research has been funded by the National Institute of Health, Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute, John Hopkins University and external funding. Vij also

has several pending grants through CMU. “We really want to make a difference with what we do in this lab. We want to translate our research to the people,” Vij said. “There is a need to study the effects of smoking and to identify the molecular causes of lung disease and how to control it.”

Vij has also trained and ed-

ucated students and research fellows leading to placements at top-tier universities, medical schools or industries.

Linden senior Colin Westphal began working with Vij in the summer.

“I did this mostly based on furthering my medical research,” Westphal said. “I was also interested in aging in relation to COPD (emphysema).¨

Business in medicine to open ‘medmentor’ program

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor Business in Medicine will be launching “MedMentor” in the spring.

Central Michigan University College of Medicine students Leonard Verhey and Nicholas Cozzi founded “MedMentor” after deciding a relationship needed to be built between local high schools and the medical school.

“We will open up the medical school for high school students by bringing them onto campus to meet medical students with the development of a pipeline program with local high schools,” Cozzi said.

The program is being funded by Area Health Education Center and CMED. The college will open its doors and provide learning and teamwork opportunities for high school students.

“One of MedMentor’s goals is to (turn) high

school students a little bit and show them that they have potential, regardless of whether they go into medicine or another field,” Cozzi said. “Another important aspect is engaging the community and opening our doors to the community.”

Cozzi and Verhey are working with three high schools around Mount Pleasant to implement the program in a class setting as well. A MedMentor will attend a biology class and assist in what the course is teach during that time. The mission of MedMentor is to help students and turn them toward becoming great leaders Cozzi said.

“We can’t solely make a kid successful, but if we turn him or her in the right direction where they can find it within themselves to work toward success, we will have succeeded,” he said.

CMU professor shares experiences with criminals inside a maximum security prison

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

For James Carroll, listening to a professional killer describe how he used piano wire to strangle people for the Quebec Mafia was just part of the job.

Before becoming a professor of psychology at Central Michigan University, Carroll worked as a classification officer at Kingston Penitentiary, a maximum security prison in Ontario, Canada. From 1966 to 1967, Carroll evaluated and interviewed inmates for placement in the prison. Later, he was employed by the Canadian Penitentiary Service as a clinical psychologist until 1969.

Carroll remembers interviewing, and trying to help, countless inmates. While some were too dangerous to be allowed to leave prison, others were surprisingly average people.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Carroll to hear what it is like to be inside criminal minds.

their aspirations, and then we would make security recommendations.

Some people would stay in maximum security. A lot of people, about half came in, would leave and go to a medium or even a minimum security institution. In medium security, they would learn trades and focus on education. Minimum security inmates were just people who wanted to do their time and return to society.

People who I interviewed who were still in maximum security be-

came part of my case load, and each officer had about a hundred people regularly. I would do regular counseling, in-depth counseling, writing reports, making parole recommendations, and so on. It was about two-thirds working with inmates and one-third paperwork.

What was it like to work with inmates every day?

Carroll: At first, it was pretty exciting. Some of the people who were in national newspapers ended up coming to our facility. When you read about their horrendous crimes in the newspaper, like one guy who had killed six people, one w Carroll | 9

What were your duties as a classification officer?

News Central team gains broadcasting experience

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

Surrounded by journalists twice her age, Caroline Powers saw U.S. Sen. Gary Peters exit the building in Detroit, fresh from winning the November election.

He began walking toward a Grand Rapids journalist when Powers pulled him over.

It was this assertiveness that won Powers her first interview.

As a reporter for News Central 34, the Farmington Hills senior knows that the subjects won’t come to her. She has to go to them.

“I pulled him over and he looked at me like ‘Wait a minute, who are you? What are you doing, little girl?’” Powers said. “If I had only said ‘Gary Peters, over here!’ then I’d never have been able to get a question out of him.”

Powers was a news anchor on Mount Pleasant’s News Central 34 for five semesters. She’s now a field reporter, where she does live reports on the street and helps produce stories that may be going on around the town.

Before any live report, she researches her stories to make sure she’s knowledgeable on the topic and is prepared for any question thrown her way.

“If someone asks me a question and I can’t answer it, then it doesn’t look good, and why would you want to watch me do the news again?” she said.

It’s been predicted that Wayside Central will no longer be standing at 2 a.m. on Feb. 26. The reason? 3LAU will be bringing the house down at 10 p.m. on Thurs., Feb.26.

3LAU is an electro house, progressive house, and dubstep artist from Las Vegas. He specializes in the production of electronic dance music (EDM).

His musical journey began in 2011 after discovering the EDM genre while vacationing in Sweden. Since then, he has been producing his own music. 3LAU began uploading his mash-ups to YouTube in June 2011 with contined success.

Over the last four years, 3LAU has released four albums and gone on two tours. In 2012, he launched his own 3LAU Your Mind Tour and went on a short Night Riot Tour the following year. He has also made his name known on the music festival circuit.

This is not 3LAU’s first visit to Central Michigan University. In previous years, he performed at Dayglow and also rocked Finch Fieldhouse. Now, he’s coming back to show Wayside how to get down.

“This is probably the largest artist we have had at the time of the concert,” said John Hunter, owner of Wayside Central. “I expect that a few years from now people will remember when 3LAU played Wayside.”

Wayside has hosted a variety of shows that feature up-and-coming artists, many of whom go on to find great success after their shows. That lineup includes artists such as SoMo, Timeflies, and Krewella.

3LAU’s show at Wayside is a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to see him before he becomes even more successful.

Needless to say, a large crowd is expected to fill Wayside from wall to wall. After the success of the 3LAU show at Wayside on February 26th, there will undoubtedly be more EDM shows coming to Wayside.

General admission tickets are $15. VIP tickets, including a meet & greet, are currently $40. Tickets are available through eventbrite.com.

Students mentor high school students for national robotics competition

continued from 7

By Nick Green Staff Reporter

Sydney Grewe has been building robots for the better part of a decade.

After building throughout high school, the Capac junior is now giving back to the program that got her started. She serves as mentor for the Flat Mountain Mechanics team as they prepare for a national competition.

Grewe has been a part of the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology program, which hosts the competition, for seven years; two as a mentor and five as a team member.

“Helping kids gain confidence and succeed is my favorite part of FIRST,” she said. “It is a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding.”

The students from nearby high schools learn mechanical, electrical, engineering and business skills while preparing to compete in the competition.

The FIRST Robotics Competition allows teams from around the world to compete against each other with robots they built. The students create submitted material and mentors help to guide them through the process. “(The goal of the program is) to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are

The days with more news, he said, can actually be less stressful because there’s less risk of having to elongate stories that aren’t as interesting to fill blank space.

“You’re always fighting the clock, because we could end at 4:59 and you have to fill that space or else there’s just black space and that’s a broadcaster’s nightmare,” he said. “It’s huge teamwork.

Everyone has to be on and we have to all communicate.”

celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes,” said Dean Kamen, founder of FIRST Robotics.

FIRST Robotics offers $17 million in scholarships exclusively to students in the program through its annual competitions. Although Central Michigan University doesn’t offer any exclusive scholarships to FIRST students, Grewe is trying to change that. Her goal is to eventually prepare a presentation for the Board of Trustees.

The Flat Mountain Mechanics team was created by Eric Prewett, co-owner of Michael Engineering and Rook Metering, a local engineering and manufacturing company and workshop that hosts the team’s build sessions.

“As an engineer, I learned a lot of stuff hands-on,” Prewett said. “Sometimes academics can be divorced from the hands-on aspect of engineering, this program brings the two together.”

This year’s competition game, Recycled Rush, requires students to create a robot that can stack totes on top of each other, cap those totes with recycling containers, and place pool noodles, serving as litter, in the totes. Teams have from Feb. 3 to Feb. 27 to build robots.

Members must submit a business plan and a presenta-

tion documenting their public outreach. Each team member must participate in the technical aspect of the program, as well as the business aspect.

Debra Schafer, lead business mentor, stressed the importance of clear speaking and public presentation to the students.

“The kids can give a presentation and share,” she said.

“When we started they could not do that.”

The team is always looking for new members and mentors. No matter what your skill set is, there is room for anyone in FIRST, Schafer said.

Learning technical aspects, coupled with the business aspects, is intended to prepare students for future careers.

The team has more female members than male members and featured an all-female drive team last year, unusual of other FIRST teams.

“Don’t be afraid of what people will think. It’s such a great experience,” Grewe said.

“I learned many news skills, including using power tools.”

The team’s first district event is at Waterford Mott High School in Waterford, March 6 and 7.

Its second district event is at H. H. Dow High School in Midland, March 19-21. Specific competition start times can be found on the ​FIRST Michigan website.

Pompilus is well acquainted with the stress that comes with working on News Central 34, especially since he facilitates bringing the show from start to finish as a graduate assistant.

From setting up the computers to copy editing and verifying the script, Pompilus doesn’t have a typical work routine because of the unforeseen circumstances that are often thrown his way.

“Things don’t often go as planned and I get that. It’s like I have a routine, but it only works two out of the five times I’ll be there for the week,” he said. “My stress levels have gotten so high, but it’s been good. I’ve started drinking green tea now, and it helps me a lot to be

calm and cool for whatever adversity gets in my way.”

Despite the constant high stress levels, he admits he enjoys the fast paced nature of the job. He’s learned to think quick on his feet and admits that no matter what adversity is shot at him, he can “dodge quickly and shoot back.”

He cites election day as his favorite day on the job because of the energy sparking in the air throughout the newsroom.

“The rush was just awesome. I can’t explain the euphoria that I experienced.

People were running around getting numbers here and percentages there,” he said.

“I just love the fast pace.

You feel accomplished on everything you do that day.”

had murdered children, it sounds pretty bad. Yet, sitting down with them, they weren’t necessarily evil people. They weren’t terrible people. They were, for the most part, just folks who made some bad decisions early on and now had to live with the consequences on an on-going basis.

Now, that’s not to say there weren’t, what do I call them?

I’ve used the term ‘evil’ before.

(The prison) barber was a professional killer for the Quebec Mafia. That’s what he did. He said he only killed people who needed to be killed. That’s different from the way you and I think of dispute resolution.

There was another fellow who told me if I was trapped in the institution in a riot situation, mine would be the first head they would roll out the door. Stuff like that certainly gave me pause in my everyday life.

See, almost all the people in prison could have been identified at around fourth grade as having risks. If someone had intervened at that point, my colleagues and I wouldn’t have to spend 40 hours a week dealing with kidnappers, murderers and armed robbers. My idealism was I could make a difference in the lives of people at an early age, before they had gone through juvenile institu-

tions, reformatories and prison.

I wanted to help them build a foundation for staying out of prison.

You mentioned you found most prisoners to be more normal than the news let on. Did this surprise you?

Carroll: I had never met any criminals before, and inmates are a particular group of criminals. Most criminals don’t get caught, and I never dealt with the type that was running around on the streets. To meet a man who was convicted for several accounts of child molestation, I was surprised when he didn’t seem to be a rotten person, even though he had done some terrible things.

The guy who shot six policemen, a college student from the United States, had gotten into some stuff over his head and made a very grave mistake. He shot and killed six people. But this 19 or 20-yearold guy didn’t seem to be a terrible person. He could have fit the description of half the students at CMU. You mentioned one case where the inmate was a prison barber.

Carroll: When I first arrived at the prison, no one was really aware I was coming in.

I went through the gate and I walked through the reception building, and he already knew my name. The guards didn’t know my name. Not only did he know my name, but he

knew I had driven into the parking lot in a red MGB convertible with the top down.

The walls in this place are 65 feet tall, and he’s in a building in the middle of the complex.

I asked him later how he knew, and he smiled and said, ‘I have my ways.’

This is the guy who said if I ever needed anybody killed, he’d arrange it for half price because he liked me. How do you arrange a murder from the middle of a maximum security prison? This was before cell phones, and inmates couldn’t really communicate well.

How frightened were you when interacting with him?

Carroll: (laughs) He was a pretty interesting guy. But the unwritten rule of prison was if an inmate hurt one of the officers, retribution would follow very swiftly. I never felt like my life was in danger. There weren’t as many of us, but we had weapons and training.

Wasn’t it frightening?

Carroll: It was never a scary job for me. I had a bunch of colleagues my age and none of us had really been trained to work in a correctional setting. Working with prisoners was a relatively new thing. The custodial aspect has always been there, to keep them in prison. But the idea of doing something different and engaging in some sort of treatment was relatively new, especially Canada and the United States. There was a parallel between the two.

Showing America’s roots, from the ground up

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

“America from the Ground Up,” a six-part documentary series made possible through the partnership of CBS and Central Michigan University Public Broadcasting, is now available on YouTube.

The series has aired on more than 100 public broadcast channels in the United States and United Kingdom.

Shot over five months in the summer of 2013, the show was written and hosted

by Monty Dobson, a CMU alumus and archeologist who used his expertise to explain lesser-known aspects of American history.

“A lot of American history is just Washington-JamestownPhiladelphia centric,” Dobson said. “This takes a look at New France and the competition with Britain and culminates with the War of 1812.”

The idea for the show began when Dobson was invited to be an inaugural scholar at the school of Public Service and Global Citizenship in 2012.

Pamela Gates, dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences collaborated with Dobson and history professor Andrew Devenney to bring the idea to video by connecting them with CMU media producer Dan Bracken.

Bracken acted as a director, producer, and editor over the course of production.

“I was responsible for capturing scenes on video and editing them,” Bracken said. “But I was also a liaison to (PBS). I anticipated it maybe being on a dozen stations, but it’s reached more than 10 times that.”

The series was broadcast through the National Educational Television Association, a supplier to PBS. Instead of telling viewers about the generalities of events such as the American Revolution, Dobson consulted archeologists to gain insight into specific battles. “America” also chronicles the historic site of Cahokia, a massive Native

Courtesy Photos | Dan Bracken “America from the Ground Up,” a six-episode series has Central Michigan University alumnus and archeologist Monty Dobson interacting with a wide array of experts in history, archeology and geography to explore the creation of the United States as it is today.

“It helps people who don’t know much about history learn in an entertaining way. It’s the first documentary that’s ever been produced by CMU.” Pamela Gates, dean of College of Humanities and Social Behavioral Sciences American site in Illinois.

In the fourth episode of the documentary, Dobson explained the battles that occurred on and around the St. Lawrence River that were crucial to the success of the Americans.

Through the work of dive teams, a cannon was recovered from the bottom of Valcour Bay during which the battle of Valcour Island occurred in 1776. Experts were able to explain that this cannon was not only 100

years old by the time of the battle, but malfunctioned during the fight and killed an American sailor, whose body was never recovered.

This helps to explain the material disadvantages Americans faced throughout the war.

“It helps people who don’t know much about history learn in an entertaining way,” Gates said. “It’s the first documentary that’s ever been produced by CMU.”

In the final episode of the documentary series, Central Michigan University alumnus and archeologist Monty Dobson explores the shipwrecks and forts that showcase the history of the War of 1812. Dobson traveled from New Orleans to Quebec and to Fort Michilimackinac on Mackinac Island.

Guthrie said it will be their “last chance” to make an impact on the Chippewas’ season.

CMU will travel to Allendale for the Grand Valley State University Tune-Up at 3 p.m. on Friday at the Kelly Family Sports Center.

“This week is the final run,” Guthrie said. “We are resting some individuals who are in a good position in the MAC honor roll. For a lot of (athletes), they are trying to make the MAC meet. For those who don’t, this is going to be their conference championship.”

Grand Valley State University

CMU will square off against a variety of teams on the oval when it heads to GVSU. The Lakers are hosting their Senior Night, and the Chippewas will try to spoil the celebration with their speed on the track.

When weather forced the Chippewas to stay an extra night in Ohio after last week’s meet at the Spire Institute, Guthrie said the Chippewas are looking forward to a short drive to West Michigan.

“It’s close to home so

you don’t have to travel great distances,” Guthrie said. “It’s a nice, short trip.

You’re competing at home and sleeping in your own bed that night.”

CMU was supposed to travel to the University of Michigan on Saturday for the Silverston Invitational, but decided to forgo the meet and rest up for next week.

Men’s Notes

The men’s team has been led all season by co-captains Cole Walderzak and Malik Vasquez.

At the Spire Invite, Walderzak placed fifth in the weight throw. Vasquez ran for sixth place in the 400-meter dash. Both athletes have automatically qualified for the MAC Indoor Championships.

“You have two types of leaders — those who are vocal leaders and those who lead by example,” Guthrie

said. “Cole is more of a getit-done kind of guy, Vasquez has not evolved into a team leader. He is more chatty.”

Women’s Notes

Munising native Abbey Kelto broke the indoor school record last week in the 3000 meter with a fifthplace finish.

Kelto junior Kelly Schubert and freshman Kirsten Olling have each qualified for the 3000-meter and 5000-meter events in the MAC Championships.

Guthrie said he is going to rest them this week, along with the seventh place 4x400 relay team of senior Emily Fishnick, sophomore Kelsey Ross, senior Bridget Doughty and senior Ravyn Baxter.

“They haven’t had a break yet,” Guthrie said. “They’ve got to get off their legs.

We’re extremely pleased with how they’re doing up to this point in time.”
