Life in brief Sports Football to sign recruiting class on Wednesday The Central Michigan University football team doesn’t have a head coach yet, but high school seniors will begin signing National Letters of Intent to college programs Wednesday.

CMU has 19 verbal commits from athletes with the fifth best recruiting class in the Mid-American Conference according to CBS’s 247sports. com, although all committed while Dan Enos was CMU’s head coach.

While many commits showed surprise on social media when Enos resigned, only a few wavered from their commitment and started exploring other options.

Kyle Nystrom is CMU’s interim head coach while the athletic department searches for its next coach.

On Jan. 22, Athletic Director Dave Heeke said “it’s important that we move quickly” in finding a new head coach and said it would be “appropriate” to have a coach before signing day.

Central Michigan Life will have more coverage throughout the day Wednesday as athletes commit to the program.

rom Finch Fieldhouse to the Student Activity Center, students and their little brothers and sisters climbed mountains, fired laser guns and came together as Chippewas.

For 52 years, Central Michigan University students have invited their

siblings up to Mount Pleasant. They hoped to reconnect and strengthen family ties weakened by distance.

Siblings Weekend is three days of activities and events centered on family.

Team-based games and entertainment created an environment where older siblings could bond with their youngest family members.

RUSH?

A love for learning, a desire to explore other cultures and an interest in conducting research can be indications that a student may be a good candidate for the Honors Track II Program.

“We’re really looking for a student who is excited about learning,” said Phame Camarena, director of the Honors Program. “(We want) students who see the value of diversity and global citizenship.”

Students join the Honors Program through Centralis, a competitive scholarship.

With admission limited to about 150 Phame Camarena students, Camarena said the downside to the process is that it can miss students who would be a good fit for the program, such as transfer students.

The Track II Program allows up to 40 current students to become part of the Honors Program if they didn’t join their first semester freshman year. The time to look into joining is now, students can join this spring for the fall semester.

Informational meetings will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, and from 5 to 6 p.m.

Monday, March 2 in Powers Hall 136. The deadline for admission this spring is March 15 with an extended The deadline for transfer students on August 1.

“It’s a thrill to meet all of (the) students,” Camarena said. “They really want to learn and be around

Greek Life spring recruitment begins today

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

Rush Week starts today for Greek Life at Central Michigan University.

Events for Spring recruitment start today and go until Friday. Opening recruitment events like “Poker Night” held by Sigma Pi and “Beta Breakfast After Dark” held by Beta Theta Pi start at 7 p.m. tonight at each fraternity’s house.

Unlike fall recruitment, not all Greek

organizations participate in the Spring Rush. Greek Life chapters that need to meet a member quota set by PanHellenic Council, need to fill rooms of graduating members in rented houses or are looking for more members to join Greek Life.

“Spring recruitment is just as important to us as the fall recruitment,” said Quinn McKay, Kappa Sigma social media coordinator.

Phi Mu is optimistic they will reach the required 81 girls. The

requirement is set by the PanHellenic Council and evaluated every year.

According to Samantha Kolbicz, Phi Mu membership director, Phi Mu currently has 69 members.

Some fraternities and sororities rely on spring recruitment to fill in spots in their houses. If fall recruitment doesn’t fill all of the rooms rented in a fraternity or sorority’s house, they try to make up for it during spring recruitment.

“We want to get guys in the doors to meet our brothers. We have seniors who leave in the spring,” McKay said.

“We don’t leave anybody out. We are looking for guys who are motivated to do great things at Kappa Sigma.”

For other Greek organizations, spring recruitment is crucial to the well-being of the organization.

The call for more members stands out from fall rush for those looking for a more relaxed and easy going recruitment process. In contrast to the fall’s formal recruitment, the spring recruitment process is less formal which can be less intimidating to unsure recruits.

“Formal recruitment isn’t for everyone,” Kolbicz said. “Spring is more laid back. We get to know the recruits better.”

Spring recruitment offers a different style of recruiting known as continuous open bidding. Some recruits find this style more appealing in comparison to formal recruitment.

Open bidding is when chapters hold individual events that include chili cook offs, poker nights, volleyball tournaments and information nights either at their house or a chosen location. These events are designed for closer, more personal communication between recruiter and recruit.

Central Michigan Life will be covering recruitment events throughout the week.

Student opinion surveys have impact with dean, profs

university

SPJ symposium ‘Charlie Hebdo and terrorizing the press: How much does free cost?’

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Too many negative reviews from student opinion surveys in the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences will put a professor’s chances of promotion in jeopardy, and may result in discussion with Dean Pamela Gates.

“Students should be respected by faculty members,” Gates said. “Anyone can have an outlier, where you have a class that doesn’t work well together. But if a faculty member consistently has problems in the classroom I will meet with them to discuss teaching.”

Supply orders for the spring and summer 2015 forms are due Feb. 23. Processing is usually completed four to six weeks after the end of the semester. Instructors are notified the day after the deadline for final grades that summary reports can be accessed.

Students do not have access to these reports.

Gates’ faculty members are expected to publish research professionally, and be committed to teaching students.

Pamela Gates “Overall I think we have excellent teachers,” Gates said. “We rarely have problems, but when we do, I address them.”

Positive reviews also increase faculty members chances for a raise or tenure. Professors use student feedback as a means of self-reflection and assessment, but the surveys themselves are questioned by some.

“I have somewhat different views on the way the SOS should be used,” said psychology undergraduate director Mark Reilly.

“While important, SOS scores end up being the primary focus in evaluating teachers’ performance.”

Reilly recognized the need for student evaluation, but as an experimental psychologist, he said the surveys aren’t a measure of what students learned during their experience with a certain professor. His PSY-384: Behavior Analysis course consistently receives high marks from students, but SOS forms cannot quantify the amount of learning that really took place.

“It can change behavior in ways that are not necessarily beneficial to pedagogy,” Reilly said. “Designing a more challenging, high level course for example does not typically generate higher ratings.”

Sterling Johnson, a political science professor, said he noticed early on in his nearly 27 years at CMU the drawbacks of the short answer section for student surveys.

“It could damage your ego or falsely inflate your ego,” Johnson said. “I’ve seen colleagues who have been evaluated on their color, accent, height or gender. One of my colleagues is no longer here as a result of acting on these things.”

Johnson also reflected on the differences in feedback in upper and lower level courses.

“With 100-level classes, you have a more diverse group of people intellectually,” Johnson said. “You’re trying to teach a group of people, some of whom only want to fulfill a requirement for something. On the other hand, in upper-level classes you’re teaching people who are all on the same page, all there for the same purpose. They show genuine interest.”

Students approach the evaluation process in varying degrees of appreciation.

“It doesn’t let you fully elaborate on the professor themselves,” said Midland sophomore Debora Ferreira.

She tries to give what feedback she can in the limited amount of time and space that is available for the survey. However, she remembers consistently running out of time during her surveys last semester.

Join Central Michigan University’s Society of Professional Journalists as they host a symposium titled “Charlie Hebdo and terrorizing the press: How much does freedom cost?” at 7 p.m. in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium.

The symposium will host a panel discussing the recent attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo.

Charlie Hebdo is a satiricial newspaper based in Paris.

Two gunmen belonging to ISIS killed 12 people, 8 of whom were journalists.

The panel will be made up of Tim Boudreau, professor of media law and the First Amendment, Leila Ennaili, French language and Francophone literature, Hugh Talat Halman, world religions with special interest in Islam and Mariah Prowoznik, editor in chief of Central Michigan Life.

NOT YOUR NORMAL HISTORY COURSE New class digs into university’s 123-year history

By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

A new history course introduces students to places they’ve never been and people they’ve never heard of — but this time they are a part of Central Michigan University’s 123-year past.

HST 347, CMU: Not Your Normal History, will educate students on the university’s origins and evolution from a small rural teaching college to the 21st century insitution as it stands today.

The journey through education took them to the historic Bohannon Schoolhouse. The schoolhouse was brought to the university in 1970 from Jasper Township by Alan Quick, the then-dean of continuing education, and Hal Mahan, director of museum studies.

“I realized some time ago that it’s difficult sometimes for students to get enthusiastic about history,” Martin said. “I thought using our 123-year history of CMU would be a great way to do it.”

Throughout the semester, students will have the opportunity in the three credit class to examine historical sites and how CMU grew from a modest teaching college to a university that delivers courses across the country.

Ruth Barrett, who returned to study at CMU after briefly attending in the ‘70s, connected with the lecture on a personal level.

“I went to school in Beal City in a two-room schoolhouse,” Barrett said. “I’ve lived (in Isabella County) my whole life. My mother worked here, my brother went to school here, so I just thought it was a natural thing to take the class and learn more about the

background of how CMU got started.”

CMU began as a teacher’s college. The demand for educated teachers at the end of the 19th century led to the creation of the Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute.

CMU opened its doors on Sept.

13, 1892, as the Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute, with classes in teaching, business and stenography. At that time, few of the state’s teachers received any formal training in teaching, so school founders made teacher training their mission in founding the state’s second normal school.

In 1895, the Michigan State Board of Education assumed control of the school, which had grown to 135 students, renaming it Central Michigan Normal School.

By 1898, enrollment had more than tripled to 450 students. In January 1906, the Normal School surpassed 1,000 graduates.

The technological advances of the 1980s spurred further program expansion, especially throughout the sciences, and ground was broken for the Industrial Engineering and Technology building in 1987. Other construction followed, including the Dow Science Complex, Applied Business Studies Complex and Student Activities Center. CMU’s Global Campus continued to grow as well, and the university offered its first online courses in 1994, offering courses to students around the world.

Campus continued to expand with the addition of academic, athletic and residential buildings through the 1990s and the early 21st century. The modern Music Building was opened in 1997,

followed by a $50 million expansion of the Park Library in 2002 and the state-of-the-art Health Professions Building and several residence halls in 2003.

CMU’s newest buildings are the technologically advanced and LEED-certified Education and

“Students who are attending CMU, who might not normally take a history course, might be more interested if it was about where they are living and working.”

Mitchell Hall, Department of History Chair Human Services Building, which opened in 2009, and the CMU Events Center, which opened in December 2010 and also includes environmentally friendly features.

“We’re always trying to get students more interested in history,” said Mitchell Hall, department of history chair. “One way to do that is by focusing on local history.

Students who are attending CMU, who might not normally take a history course, might be more interested if it was about where they are living and working.”

Martin’s lesson plan will take the class to the university and Clarke Historical libraries and on a tour that will chronicle the evolution of the campus.

Martin recommends every student, history major or not, should take this chance to learn more about CMU’s past.

The political science and public administration will be hosting an advising night from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in Anspach Hall 167.

The department will provide information on getting a political science major or minor. There will also be information on the department’s graduate programs and student organizations. Faculty will be available to help with advising and answering questions.

This week In cmu History

First Winner of the ‘Miss Central Michigan’ Contest On Feb. 2, 1944, Central Michigan Life reported on the first winner of the “Miss Central Michigan” contest.

The contest was created to contribute funds to the Victory Loan fund for returning veterans. Any campus organization or group could nominate a participant for the contest by submitting a picture of the person to the General Office, and anyone could vote in the contest by purchasing a 10-cent Victory Loan fund stamp.

Kay Staebler, Turner senior and Phi Delta Eta nominee, was announced the winner at the annual J-Hop, a campus dance. She beat out seven other nominees and was presented with a dozen roses and an identification bracelet.

Runners up for the title were Betty Christensen and Glenna Douglas. Overall, $175 was contributed to the Victory Loan fund.

The dance also featured live music from the Ed Berry band and Ed Mosher, an amateur magician.

Younger siblings take center stage during talent show

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

Belting the lyrics at the top of their lungs, two little girls bravely sang every word to “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” from the hit movie Frozen.

On Saturday during Siblings Weekend, the Bovee University Center Student Lounge Hosted a talent show from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

While the show started off slow, it picked up as soon as younger kids were encouraged by the volunteers.

Lake Orion freshman Taylor Brown, an entertainment committee member, said when no one was participating it was the committee’s job to make sure someone was on stage, even if it was one of their own members. In order to get hype out of the small crowd, the committee performed a routine from High School Musical.

“We get kids involved,” Brown said.

“We set up the stage for the talent show, got all the karaoke set up and try to keep the kids involved and enthusiastic by always making sure there’s someone up on stage.”

Brown said she immediately looked

Brother and sister reunited at Siblings Weekend after months apart

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

When she left home for college, Taylor Rainier was separated from her little brother Hunter for months.

But at Central Michigan University’s Siblings Weekend, Rainier, a Lake City freshman and Hunter, 8, were reunited for a weekend of bonding through activities and events.

Rainier spent the whole weekend with her little brother. Hunter, who said he missed spending time with his sister, even stayed in a residence hall between activities and events.

“I’ve been waiting all week,” Hunter said. “I was really excited to see my sister because I’ve never slept there before and it’s really fun to be up here. I like seeing her smile.”

While at Siblings Weekend, the pair played laser tag, went to the carnival, played bingo and posed for caricatures of themselves.

“It was kind of funny because he drew (a caricature) and we had big heads and I don’t have a big head like that,” Hunter said.

Hunter’s favorite part of Siblings Weekend was playing games with his sister and winning prizes. He also enjoyed the pancake breakfast, where siblings were tossed pancakes and had to catch them on a plate.

“It was really really fun,” he said.

“He had to actually give me my pan-

cakes because I’m not that good of a catcher with the plate.”

Taylor Rainier was just as excited.

“I don’t get to spend much time with him,” Rainier said “It’s really nice to see him for more than five seconds.”

Siblings Weekend created lasting memories for the pair, Rainier said.

She hoped Hunter will remember the weekend in the future.

Thinking back to a family trip to Alaska, Taylor Rainier hoped Siblings Weekend will be as memorable as a walk through the frigid locale.

“My parents were on a date so I was watching him,” she said. “There was a river down the road and we took a walk and he was just so happy that I was with him and it was so simple and fun at the same time.”

Rainier said Siblings Weekend is extremely important to keeping a relationship with younger siblings.

“We’re gone all year and it’s nice to spend time with your little brothers and sisters,” Rainier said. “If you don’t make the time, you won’t (spend time) so it’s definitely important to do it and get out there.”

Rainier is excited for future Siblings Weekends where she can spend more time with her little brother.

“I’m excited to do caricatures and take pictures in front of the seal and put them up next to each other over the years,” Rainier said. “I can’t wait for the years where he’s going to change a ton, it’ll be crazy.”

Mathew Black overcame his fear of heights and scaled the inflatable rock wall at the Siblings Weekend carnival with a little help from his sister, Wyoming freshman Katie Black.

A new addition to the carnival this year was the giant inflatable “Tiki Island” rock wall that stretched almost all the way to the ceiling of the Student Activity Center gymnasium.

“I’m afraid of heights, so I was really proud of myself,” said 12-year-old Mathew Blake of Wyoming. “I did have to get a boost one time though.”

Mathew said he was having a lot of fun at the carnival and enjoyed the first half of the weekend with his sister. Other than conquering his fear, the highlight of his stay was that he got to stay up until 2:30 a.m. watching a movie, which was a huge change from his regular 10 p.m.

The carnival has been part of the event since Siblings Weekend was first established in 1963.

It has traditionally been the most popular event of the week-

end festivities. From 2-6 p.m. on Saturday CMU students and their siblings gathered in the SAC gyms for the carnival.

An estimated 1,050 participants bonded over activities that included crafts, games, caricature sketches, a photo booth, face painting, crafts and inflatables.

into getting involved with Siblings Weekend because she loves kids.

“Being able to get involved with the committee of Sibs Weekend and being able to get kids involved is a wonderful opportunity,” Brown said.

Saginaw junior Areail Wright brought both her little sister and cousin to participate in Siblings Weekend.

During the show, the two sang the song “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith.

Wright was not expecting her family members to sing on stage in front of everyone.

“I was surprised,” Wright said. “I figured they would do something because she [her sister] dances so I thought she would dance, but I didn’t think they would sing.”

Wright’s sister, Amirah Burbank, and her cousin Aniya Webb are both nine years old and decided to go on stage at last minute.

“I was scared to go up on stage,” Burbank said. “But it was fun and I got used to it.”

Wright said Siblings Weekend is important because it give younger kids the opportunity to see a college campus.

of the hard work that her—and the other Siblings Weekend volunteers contributed—come to life.

“My favorite part is seeing all of the kids that are here and our hard work of planning since November pay off,” she said.

Jolly said the “minute-to-win-it” games and the “Tiki Island” rock wall were new additions to the carnival this year.

Senior volunteer Samantha Johnson said they had more siblings register for Siblings Weekend this year than in 2014, so they were expecting a bigger turnout for the carnival. The carnival is the most popular Siblings Weekend event because it does not require a special event ticket, making it open to all participants.

Grayling senior James Jimenez and his 11-year-old sister, Susan Jiminez, spent Siblings Weekend together for the third year. The two competed in some of the minute-to-win-it games and picked out a rubber duck as a prize.

“We mark this weekend on our calendars,” James Jiminez said.

“It’s something we look forward to every year.”

Participants in Siblings Weekend wait in line for an inflatable obstace course on Saturday in the Student Activity Center.

Guinness World Record holders and pancake flippers from Chris Cakes of Michigan launched pancakes through the air Saturday at Siblings Weekend.

Lacy Valutis, 13, caught both of her pancakes on her first try alongside her brother, Shelby Township sophomore Jack Valutis. Lacy said the highlight of her weekend was seeing her brother.

Chris Cakes has served pancakes for Siblings Weekend at Central Michigan University for seven years to support the university and the community.

“I like interacting with the people and getting paid to throw food at them,” said Nathan Smith, one of the pancake flippers.

Catching pancakes was one of the most exciting aspects of Siblings Weekend for some participants. Battle Creek junior Brittney Rainwater said catching pancakes in the morning was probably her favorite part of the weekend. Her 15-year-old brother Jared enjoyed the Student Activity Center, while her 11-year-old brother Colton enjoyed laser tag the most.

For some families, eating pancakes brought them together.

“We’ve had the most fun eating food together so far,” said Victoria Wignall, 18, as she ate breakfast with her siblings.

“The best part is being with each other,” said 15-year-old Faith Wignall.

Abby Carroll, 8, enjoyed Siblings Weekend because she got to see her older sister, Birch Run sophomore Brooke Carroll.

“I don’t get to see her a lot,” Abby said.

“That’s mainly why (I liked Siblings Weekend). I got to hang out with her.”

Freshman Allie Robb also said the best part about Siblings Weekend was being able to see her family.

“I like being able to hang out and see (my niece and nephew) because you don’t really get to when you’re on campus,” Robb said.

Robb added that she loved the free food.

“It feels like vacation,” said 6-year-old Cole Spiewak as he sat at breakfast with his two older cousins, Caledonia sophomore Makenzie McFadden and 14-yearold Kayla McFadden.

Abbie Robinson | Staff Photographer Nine-year-old Lucas Dafoe of Lainsburg, scales the rock wall for the second time Friday, at the Siblings Weekend.

One more step, Taylor Peruski thought. One more step until she’ll reach the top. Foot lifted, she attempted to find the next block only to fall when it wasn’t there.

The Ubly 10-year-old didn’t give up. Despite a slight fear of heights, she continued to try to get to the top of the wall to ring the bell.

Peruski’s determined climb was part of open climb at Finch Fieldhouse to celebrate Siblings Weekend.

“It was really fun. I kept coming down because I was scared I’d fall because I felt like there were no options to go when I got up to the green part of the wall,” she said. “I got higher every time I tried.”

The event took place Friday from 6-8 p.m and Saturday from 7-10 p.m. Within the first hour of Saturday’s climb, more than 125 siblings took to the wall in Finch Fieldhouse.

Adventure Seminars intern and Ionia junior Jarrod Blundy pulled the ropes that allowed climbers to safely navigate the climbing wall. Siblings supporting each other in the climb is what he assumed would inspire the most bonding.

“People get to climb next to each other, so they get to help each other and push each other until they get to the top,” Blundy said.

Freeland 13-year-old Ethan Lopshire’s version of bonding wasn’t by helping his sister, Freeland senior Amanda Slezsak, but to beat her in multiple races, which he succeeded at doing three times.

“I rang the bell on three of the walls. I’ve climbed before,” Lopshire said. “Toward the top it got harder where there’s not as many rocks and there’s not as much grip.”

Slezsak worked through her fear of heights more than once to spend quality time with her brother, attending the open climb both Friday and Saturday.

“I liked and disliked it because I realized I didn’t know I had a fear until I got higher,” she said. “I trooped through it because we were racing.”

Lynn Trefzger kept up a Jeff Dunham-esque verbal balancing act throughout her show, playing the straight man to her own eccentric cast of dummies.

Trefzger and her trunk full of dummies kicked off Siblings Weekend Friday in Plachta Auditorium, involving the audience in several jokes.

One participant was Lakeview High School senior Tyler Clark.

Clark’s first Siblings Weekend started when Trefzger introduced one of her dummies, Camelot, who played off his reactions for several minutes on stage. The two made an unexpected duo and Trefzger even made callbacks to Clark after the gag was finished.

“Weirdly, I kind of expected it,” Clark said. “(my sister) had us in the front row, so I figured it would happen. The show was great, and it was fun that I got to be a part of it.”

The comedian frequently bantered with her characters, which included dopey camel Camelot, the archetypical screaming child Chloe and even a bundled-up blanket Trefzger made to sound like a baby.

Trefzger was recently featured in a documentary about the art of ventriloquism with Jay Johnson and Jeff Dunham called “I’m No Dummy” by NBC Universal.

Trefzger won the Ohio Presenters Association “People’s Choice Award” in 2010 and was was nominated by American Entertainment Magazine as the “Funniest Female” in 2007.

The comedy routine wasn’t done in a vacuum. Trefzger frequently called for volunteers from the crowd of students and siblings.

Clark and his younger sister Megan came to Central Michigan University to visit their sister Haley, a sophomore.

“It’s a really great way to expose the younger kids to college,” said Misty Carson, mother of Ithaca freshman Audie Gruesbeck, who brought the family up for her daughter’s first Siblings Weekend.

“I’m really antsy,” said 11-year-old Lucas Gruesbeck, Audie’s younger brother. “I was antsy all week to come for Sibs Weekend. Sitting through class all week was so boring! It was totally worth the trip.”

Sibling aggression was vented through blasts of light Friday evening in Finch Fieldhouse.

For many Sibings Weekend participants, day one was spent running from one blow up barricade to the next, with a modified paint ball gun in hand and victory in mind.

Laser Tag was available from 5-9 p.m.

Friday where 12 kids played 10 minute rounds against one another.

Adam Courtis, 15, of Port Huron enjoyed his laser tag experience so much, he waited in line to play three times.

Other participants had family grudges to settle like Emily Glatz, 8, of Wyandotte Michigan. Emily said her plan was to “destroy” her brother, Nick, 11.

However, Nick’s 13 recorded hits helped his team defeat his sisters’.

Oldest sister and Central Michigan University freshman Kayla Glatz, 18, said she was just happy to spend time with her two siblings.

For other participants, Friday night was their first time playing laser tag.

The Hamed family, who are Jordan natives but are now living in mid-Michigan, played their first game of laser tag together as a family. Six-yearold twins Samir and Osama Hamed took arms against their parents claiming their first ever laser tag victory.

“We wanted to just have fun and enjoy our first time playing laser tag,” said Duha Hamed, mother of Samir and Osama.

Guadalupe Gonzales, employee of Kramer Entertainment which puts on the laser tag event, said he loves working events like Siblings Weekend.

“I enjoy the kids’ enjoyment—watching them run around with (smiles) on their faces. They don’t even really know what direction to shoot, but they are having fun.”

EDITORIAL | Many students are unable to reap the benefits of study abroad

Black History Month is essential Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Mi$$ion improbable Study

a b ro a d

Last year, only about 3 percent of Central Michigan University students studied abroad.

International studies are valuable for several reasons, but the average study abroad program is not realistically attainable for many students.

Studying overseas is the perfect way to enrich any education, but is especially important for those majoring in a foreign language.

Not only does learning outside of the U.S. broaden a student’s worldview, it also makes that student immediately more competitive in the job market following graduation.

These benefits are hard to reap when studying abroad comes with such a large price tag. The average cost to study abroad for one semester was $17,785 in the 20122013 academic year according to the Institute of International Education. A semester at CMU including 15 credits, room and board, the unlimited meal plan and an estimate for books and supplies costs $10,665.

CMU allocates about $150,000 for scholarships to fund these trips and students are

p ro g r a m s u n re a l i s t

free to pursue program-specific and external awards. Students also can apply their financial aid awards to help pay for study abroad programs, but that means those with lower awards will be at a disadvantage.

Even if they win the scholarships they qualify for, students will still be left with a relatively large bill.

In addition to being expensive, extended international trips are difficult to fit into a four year career at a university.

Because study abroad programs seek to serve as many students as possible, it follows that the specific, upper level classes needed for some majors will not be offered by many undergraduate programs. The Office of Study Abroad provides programs for juniors, seniors, graduate and doctoral students, but they are severely outnumbered by more general undergraduate programs.

This means students in their final years of

n a m r i c fo

y

school who have completed most of their general education will have a harder time finding a program with classes they can use to satisfy their remaining requirements.

For that matter, students who do not think seriously about studying abroad until their junior or senior year will find it almost impossible to do so and graduate on time.

CMU has joined the Institute of International Education’s Generation Study Abroad initiative which aims to double the number of American students studying internationally by the end of the decade. While this display of commitment is admirable, more concrete changes need to be made before more students will be able to afford studying abroad or fit it into their college career.

Making more financial relief options available to students, more advertisement for the shorter, less expensive trips abroad and pushing for earlier awareness of all the Office of Study Abroad has to offer would be steps in the right direction.

Letter to the editor

Dire straits: Ask the right questions TO THE EDITOR: I suspect that Enbridge Line 5 has probably exceeded its design life expectancy. Even if it has, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s about to rupture.

“Dire straits: Pipelines and policy options for the Great Lakes” which appeared in Central Michigan Life on January 30 makes some valid points, but also in my opinion misses the mark on several levels.

First of all, pipeline operators normally pay a per-barrel tax

to fund spill cleanup. It’s rather interesting to note that the IRS exempted a significant portion of the tar sands oil involved in the Kalamazoo River spill from that tax. This exemption would also, apparently, apply to oil set to flow through the proposed Keystone XL line.

Therefore, the possibility of Michigan being able to require Enbridge to assume financial responsibility above and beyond those required by the Federal regulations governing interstate pipelines seems rather remote,

especially if the pipe continues to carry tar sands oil.

Secondly, the suggested requirement that pipes be “double wrapped” doesn’t address a major cause of failure: internal corrosion. Crude oil carries sulfur and other corrosive particulate matter that can settle out and eat away at the pipe from the inside.

The buildup can be dealt with by running a device known as a “pig” through the line to clean it out. The longevity of a pipe is highly dependent on the fluid being transported as well as routine maintenance.

Enbridge maintains that the likelihood of a spill from Line 5 is “remote.” Let them prove it by answering the following: How often is an “intelligent pig” put through the pipe to assess wall thickness?

When was the last assessment

of the pipe’s cathodic protection system done and what were the results?

Has there ever been an inspection of that portion of Line 5 running under the Straits of Mackinac and Lake Huron to ensure that the length of unsupported sections of pipe, if there are any, are not in excess of the pipeline design; that the weight coat, (I’m assuming that the pipe was constructed with a concrete coating to keep it down) is intact; or that the sacrificial anodes are in an acceptable condition, and finally: When was the last time the line was hydro-tested?

If, as Enbridge maintains, Line 5 is perfectly safe, let them prove it with some hard and appropriate data.

The most common response I hear in regard to the phrase “Black History Month” is “Why isn’t there a White History Month?”

Let me answer that question with another question: Why don’t we have graveyards for the living or build hospitals only for people who are perfectly healthy?

We don’t have any of those things because the world is already structured to benefit living and healthy individuals. Devoting time and energy toward building those types of structures would be redundant and unnecessary.

The same would be true of a white history month. You don’t need a month devoted to white history when 365 days a year the systematic break down of this country is already devoted to giving white individuals a leg up over everyone else. This is especially true where white males are concerned.

Black History Month is important.

It might be more important now that it ever has been before.

The death of Michael Brown proves this to us. The death of Eric Garner proves this to us. The deaths John Crawford, Ezell Ford, Vonderrit Meyers, Tamir Rice — just to name a few of the many black lives lost by police brutality in 2014 — proves this to us.

In a time where black males are 21 times more likely than their white counterparts to be killed by police officers, Black History Month stands as a month of remembrance and education.

We must remember and honor those we have lost in 2014 and to those we may lose in 2015. We also must educate ourselves on how to create a better society by studying our past and improving our future.

We cannot allow for things to continue going as they have in terms of institutionalized racism in our society. We have to take this time, Black History Month, to educate ourselves.

This year for Black History Month, I encourage you to attend some of the events that will be taking place around campus.

From keynote speakers to comedians to food tasting events, I encourage all students — white students especially — to try and learn something about black culture outside of the obligatory Bob Marley poster in your dorms and knowing all the lyrics to at least one Kanye song.

We don’t live in a post-racial society, not even close. But maybe, by attempting to educate ourselves on things outside our own worldviews, we can make a step toward a brighter future.

New fraternity hopes for diversity alism and finding internships, Newbury said. ENT is an alternative for students.

“We were looking for something that was more appealing to people who weren’t necessarily looking to go into corporate America,” Newbury said.

Newbury said it took one to two months to get an ENT chapter to come to CMU. The CMU chapter is one of eight nationally. Newbury said there are about 200 to 350 national members.

CMU’s chapter of Epsilon Nu Tau has grown to 17 members. ENT is seeking to increase that number with another pledge class from spring recruitment.

FRATERNITY SPRING SCHEDULE

Central Michigan University’s newest Greek organization, Epsilon Nu Tau, was founded by five students in 2013. Of the five, President Abbey Newbury, Annie Ludington and Eric Blankenship remain active within the chapter.

The three members hold the fraternity to its original mission, being an opportunity for entrepreneurs across campus.

“We were looking for an outlet for the entrepreneurs to come together because they are from all different majors, not necessarily just business majors,” Newbury said.

Other business RSOs often focus strictly on profession-

lon Nu Tau because it isn’t geared simply toward entering corporate America.

“Many business fraternities are in love with business cards, black suits and resumes. I want something that encourages great individual product ideas and can help me be a better business builder, not necessarily just a better businessman,” Olis said.

Like all Greek organizations, ENT hopes to get involved in serving the community.

“We are starting to work with local charities and also Soldiers’ Angels. We’ve sent a few letters and care packages, doing what we can there,” Newbury said.

Newbury said ENT works closely with New Venture

CHAMPION Horan leading Chippewas wrestling on quest for Mid-American Conference title

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Do you stare down your opponent before you wrestle?

Horan: “There’s a lot more that I am focused on than that, but if my (opponent) is looking me in the eyes, I am not going to look away.”

Zach Horan is the driving force behind one of Central Michigan University’s premier varsity athletic programs: Wrestling.

Earning national rankings in his weight class and striking fear into the hearts of his Mid-American Conference opponents along the way, Horan has become the Chippewas undisputed leader both on and off the mat.

How do you strike fear in your opponent?

Horan: “The first time I put my hand on him, I want him to feel it. I want him to know I am ready.”

You’ve been at CMU for three years now, what is it that makes this wrestling program so respected in the MAC?

Horan: “I’ve noticed it more and more this year. I don’t know if it’s rewarding just yet. In the future I’ll look back at it, and get a little more out of it.”

Are you more of a vocal leader, or do you lead by example?

Do you rely more on a psychological or physical edge?

Horan: “Example. I have a hard time putting myself above my teammates, thinking I should be the one to tell them what to do. I am starting to realize that’s who they need me to be, though.”

Horan: “I have a really good match strategy. I am good at winning matches, I’ve been doing it for a long time. Psychologically, I have an edge and I always feel that I can match them physically.”

How much responsibility do you take for this team’s success or failure?

How does coach Borrelli inspire you and the other wrestlers?

Zach Horan: “It’s the expectations that we have. You’re always expected to be ranked, always expected to perform against Top 10 teams. We’re not supposed to take a back seat to anyone. If we have 10 seniors, or 10 freshmen, we’re expected to get the same results.”

As a veteran on the team, do you find it rewarding to help younger wrestlers?

Horan: “He’s always telling us he wants National Champions, wants All-Americans.

Then you see his history, the guys he’s coached...Why shouldn’t that be us?”

Horan: “A lot. For this team to do well, I have to perform. The guys around me need to do well. Last weekend, (against Missouri) I had a big win against a top ten guy, but the team still lost. On the bus ride back my parents called me, telling me how proud they are of me and I am like ‘I feel terrible, we got our butts kicked.’ I won, but seven other guys lost.”

Wrestling takes down Kent State

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Pushing its home winning streak to three matches, the Central Michigan University wrestling team (7-5, 5-1) topped Kent State University (7-11, 3-3), 19-13 on Sunday at McGuirk Arena.

CMU’s Jordan Wolhfert’s overtime win in the 165-pound weight class sealed the victory for the Chippewas.

In the first match, CMU freshman Brent Fleetwood set the tone with a major decision victory 11-2. Fleetwood improved to 12-9 on the year in the 125-pound weight class with his win.

Head Coach Tom Borrelli said Fleetwood’s win was among the most important of the season.

“Momentum is real big in

“Momentum is real big in duel-meets.

Your guys are on the bench gaining confidence while the other team is getting nervous.”

Tom Borrelli, Head Coach duel-meets,” Borrelli said.

“Your guys are on the bench gaining confidence while the other team is getting nervous.”

The Chippewas took the first four matches against the Golden Flashes. CMU Senior Tyler Keselring upset KSU wrestler Mack McGuire by a score of 5-2. McGuire came into Sunday’s match ranked No.18 in the country for 133-pound weight class.

“I wrestled him last year and won, so I knew I could do it

again,” Keselring said. “I just tried to stay fundamental and focused throughout the match.”

After KSU won its first match of the day in the 157-pound weight class, Wohlfert’s victory kept the team’s confidence high. Wohlfert took KSU’s Tyler Buckwalter to overtime where he recorded the takedown for the win.

“I knew he was getting tired (in overtime),” he said. “I was feeding off that.”

Sarah White | Assistant Photo Editor Kent State’s Mack McGuire, left, and Tyler Keselring, right, grapple on Sunday at McGuirk Arena. CMU defeated Kent State 19-13.

The overtime victory by Wohlfert earned him his 11th win of the season.

Coming into Sunday, KSU wrestler Caleb Marsh was ranked No.14 in the 174-pound weight class. Marsh will likely fall in the rankings, as CMU’s

Jordan Ellingwood shut him out 7-0 in the match. Ellingwood’s win earned CMU three more points to push the score to 19-3.

“We needed guys to step up (after the loss in 157). Wohlfert and Ellingwood did,” Borrelli said.

Men’s basketball defeats Ohio, sits atop conference standings

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s 74-69 win against Ohio University on Saturday was an example of how erratic changes to the conference rankings have been this season.

The Chippewas improved to 15-4 overall, 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference and 12-0 at McGuirk Arena this season with the win over the Bobcats.

The victory earned the Chippewas the first place spot in the MAC’s west division with 10 games remaining on the regular season schedule.

“We can’t say that we’re not excited based off of the last two years,” junior guard Chris Fowler said. “But we also don’t want to get complacent.”

Fowler scored 17 points,

dished out six assists and grabbed three rebounds during CMU’s 15th win of the year.

“In conference play everyone is a good team,” Fowler said. “Every MAC game you know you have to come out and bring it or else you’ll get beat.”

Head Coach Keno Davis, like Fowler, could not deny his excitement due to the Chippewas’ run to start the season and CMU’s placement at the top of their division.

“Coaches always talk about parity in their league,” Davis said. “But this year I don’t know if you can says there’s another conference that you can say, top to bottom, is as equal as the MAC.” As for the Chippewas undefeated stretch at home, Davis said the team needs to have the same mindset

no matter where they play.

“I don’t know who is going to win each night,” he said.

“It’s tough, I have no idea — it’s that type of season.”

Up for grabs

The Chippewas defeated heavily-favored Toledo 65-62 on Jan. 6, and then four days later lost to the last-place Ball State Cardinals 83-65.

The league’s changing standings do not faze Davis and his team. Davis said he and the Chippewas turn a deaf ear to their critics.

“There’s no pressure on

our team,” Davis said. “Nobody really expected us to be at this level, so we don’t feel this is a must-win for us. We have high expectations for ourselves.”

Davis: I don’t know if we win tonight’s game without the fans

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

For the second time in eight days, and the third time in McGuirk Arena history, more than 4,000 fans packed together to watch a men’s basketball game.

For the 12th time in 12 tries this season, the Chippewas won at home.

“To be able to have the fan support that we’ve had and watch it grow, not just from previous years, but watch it grow this year is something that really drives us,” said Head Coach Keno Davis.

“The students, the fans support from the community coming out today, that’s the difference between winning and losing in some programs in some years.”

CMU ranks 8th out of 12 Mid-American Conference

member schools in average attendance per game with 2,325. This season, the Chippewas’ average attendance has been quickly rising.

In Davis’ first two years as head coach, only once has the home crowd topped 2,500 fans. In CMU’s last four home games, they’ve topped 2,500 three times.

This trend is something the CMU basketball upperclassmen have noticed.

“I think (the student crowd) is a huge part of our success at home,” junior forward John Simons said. “Not having lost a game at home yet, We hope they keep coming back. We feel like we’re going to go out and play as hard as we can in front of our home crowd and try to get them a win each and every time we step out there.”

McGuirk Arena seats a

capacity of 5,300.

“I don’t know if we win tonight’s game without the fans.” Davis said. “That game would have been a coin-flip had we had a third of the crowd in there.”

The Chippewas have five home games remaining on the schedule.

The Chippewas host Bowling Green State University on Wednesday before Western Michigan University visits McGuirk Arena on Saturday.

The 17 home games this season is the most CMU has played since the Rose Center was built in 1973.

No CMU team has won more than 13 home games in a single season since the Rose Center was built.

The Chippewas were a perfect 13-0 at home in 18861987 and 13-1 in 2000-2001.

Bradford breaks all-time women’s basketball scoring record

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Junior guard Da’Jourie Turner dashes down court Saturday against Ohio at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas lost to the Bobcats, 74-66.

Freshmen struggle as women’s basketball loses to Ohio 74-66

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team has struggled shooting the ball all season.

Those struggles continued in Saturday’s 74-66 loss to Ohio University at McGuirk Arena.

The women have now lost three of their last four games.

What started as a minor slump has turned into turned a larger concern for Head Coach Sue Guevara, and the 10-9 CMU team.

Twenty nine points from senior guard Crystal Bradford was a rare bright spot in Saturday’s loss, but CMU’s troubles from both the freethrow and 3-point line cost them another chance at a victory down the stretch.

It took CMU 38 minutes to connect on its first 3-pointer. The Chippewas finished shooting a dismal 2-for-22, 9.1 percent, from 3-point range.

“I said to the team that we have to get a consistent 3-point shooter besides Kerby Tamm,” Guevara said. “Because right now, it’s so easy for teams to just pack it in on us.”

The Chippewas outrebounded the Bobcats 5030, and owned the points in the paint battle 46-28.

Desperately looking for a spark on the perimeter, CMU turned to senior forward Jas’Mine Bracey, who went 1-for-2 from the 3-point line, which were her first two attempts of the season.

“When we run our 3-point shooting drills, two of our best 3-point shooters in the post, are Bracey and Tinara Moore,” Guevara said. “Obviously when you’re playing in a game like that and you need the 3, you can’t have all of your guards in.”

Guevara said she was forced to go to Bracey due to the ineffectiveness of younger, more inexperienced players.

“I think that some of them (players) are afraid to shoot the ball,” Guevara said. “It (shooting) is like making a

Early in the second half of Saturday’s game against Ohio, senior guard Crystal Bradford twisted her body past a pair of defenders to score her signature lefthanded layup.

The score was good for Bradford’s 1,940th career point, passing Sue Nissen for the most points in Central Michigan University women’s basketball history.

“I’m grateful and I am thankful. It has been a blessing,” Bradford said.

I’m very thankful to be here in my career.”

Bradford is no stranger to breaking records at CMU. The Inkster senior holds program records in three other categories.

Bradford broke the alltime rebounding record on Jan. 24 against Akron, bringing down her 1,090th career rebound. She has since pushed her career total to 1,118, which is 29 more than any other player in program history.

The 6-foot-1 inch forward also holds records for most field goals made with 781 and blocked shots with 174.

“Crystal is an all-time player,” Head Coach Sue Guevara said. “She can score from a variety of ways. She is a special player.”

Bradford finished Saturday’s game with 29 points, 14 rebounds, three steals and two assists.

While she said she was happy to break the record, Bradford was frustrated her performance did not come during a Chippewas’ win.

“With every award and accolade I get, there seems to be a loss after it,” Bradford said. “It’s never an enjoyable thing. I’m always frustrated when I get the

news. I will sink in later.”

Guevara said Bradford is one of the best players she has coached during her 35year career.

“I’ve coached some very good players at Michigan and Michigan State,” Guevara said. “CB is maybe a little bit more versatile than all of them.”

Central Michigan has 10 more games left in the regular season, giving Bradford plenty of time to break more school records.

She sits in third on the list of overall steal leaders with 272. Bradford will need 27 more takeaways to top Julie Roberts as the program’s leader in steals.

“Crystal is an all-time player.

She can score from a variety of ways. She is a special player.”

Sue Guevara, Head Coach

Bradford is also second in career scoring average putting up 16.7 points per game during her career.

She trails Nissen who leads the program with 17 points per game.

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Freshman forward Tinara Moore attempts to block a shot Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

“They feel like they’re not able to shoot, but they have the green light.

Whatever you do, you have to do it with confidence.”

Crystal Bradford, senior shooting guard putt. When you putt, you know it’s going in. You know it’s going right for the hole.

The more you putt, the more confident you are. So, the more you shoot, it will go in, but you’ve got to shoot it.”

Bradford said the CMU underclassmen lack confidence.

“They feel like they’re not able to shoot, but they have the green light,” Bradford said. “And it’s not like they’re getting a lot of attempts, they’re just not shooting.

Whatever you do, you have to do it with confidence.”

The Chippewas’ freshmen need to shake off hesitation in order to perform at a high level, Guevara said.

“Sometimes it’s more being afraid of making a mistake, or missing a shot,” she said. “Because they don’t want to come out. That’s why we talk about getting it done in practice so you’re not wide-eyed when you get out on the floor.”

HORAN | continued from B1 What do you love about the sport of wrestling?

Horan: “Winning.

There’s nothing like winning a match.”

How does this year’s team compare to some of the others in the past?

Horan: “This team reminds me a lot of my first year. We had three or four guys that had never started that year. Now we have eight or nine guys that haven’t

started, so it reminds me of my freshman year.”

Why did you choose CMU over a bigger school?

Horan: “I liked coach Borrelli a lot. Some of the other coaches were salesmen, trying to tell you what they think you want to hear.

Borrelli was honest, and straight forward. He didn’t try to feed me any B.S.” What are your relationships like with your teammates?

Horan: “I am a lot closer to the guys in the class than I am with the younger guys. I try

Central Michigan Life | cm-life.com | Monday, Feb. 2, 2015 | 5B to not to be as much of a ‘buddy’ with them. I want them to think of me as a teammate more than a friend.”

What is the ultimate goal for this team this season, and what is your No. 1 career goal?

Horan: “Finishing in the top two of the conference, it’s tough with Missouri in there. I want to keep the All-American streak going, and qualify at least fiveto-eight of our guys in the National Tournament. If we get that many guys in the tournament, we’re having a successful post-season.”

Sarah White | Assistant Photo Editor Zach Horan pins Kent State’s Tyler Small on Sunday at McGuirk Arena. CMU defeated Kent State 19-13.

Wrestling excellence will continue With a younger roster than it is used to having, the Central Michigan University wrestling team might look a bit different compared to teams of the past. The program has 16 Mid-American Conference tournament titles. I say his-
