SGA senate in recess until after election Unable to meet quorum, student government will not pass new legislation

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Unable to meet quorum for its final two weeks in session, the Student Government Association cancelled its remaining meetings.

By not having at least 15 members present to vote and pass legislation, no new legislation can move through the Senate.

SGA President Chuck Mahone said the lack of quorum, though uncommon, is “not unheard of.”

The inability to seat a quorum is

On campus incidents see increase on holiday

due to a combination of senators who had to resign due to academic reasons, and senators who took on a workload without fully understanding the commitment.

“In this context, this (inability to meet quorum) isn’t stopping us from doing anything we want to do,” Mahone said. “I would feel differently if we had individuals who really wanted to introduce (bills) but couldn’t. Right now we don’t have anything that we need to pass.

If we did have legislation waiting in the wings that would be bad, but we

don’t so this (not meeting quorum) is not hurting us.”

The regularly scheduled SGA meeting on March 23 will not see a meeting of the House or Senate, as the Presidential Press Conference will be taking place that night at 8 p.m. in Anspach 162.

The following meeting on March 30 will feature legislation being introduced in the House that has already passed in the Senate, making it irrelevant whether or not the Senate is in session, Mahone said.

“In last meeting the House will

be talking about (bills) the Senate already approved,” Mahone said.

Vice President of SGA Mariah Urueta said any bill a student would want to introduce at this point in the Chuck Mahone semester would more than likely be held until the following fall semester.

“If anyone had anything they wanted to introduce, Senate can’t vote on it but the house can,” Urueta said. “(The student) would have to

HIT THE DECK

hold their bill until next semester, unless the next presidential administration wants to continue meetings for the rest of the year.”

Following SGA’s crackdown on attendance, Urueta says the inability to meet quorum is “rather ironic” but should not be viewed as a “negative thing.”

“If this happened in the middle of the semester, I would be more concerned,” Urueta said.

This is week 9 of the 16 week Spring semester.

“Considering the reasoning behind the drop in senators is because of academic and personal reasons,

Art & Design department adds art history major

Although some university officials say Tuesday was not as eventful as other St. Patrick’s Days, the holiday celebration ended with at least 10 on-campus cases of students treated for alcohol poisoning and several arrests.

Social media erupted with images and status updates of students attending class or being on campus intoxicated on Tuesday, and the Central Michigan University Police Department was dispatched to 27 different incidents.

By the end of the day, 10 students were removed from campus by ambulance because of alcohol poisoning. Seven minor in possession citations were issued, three students were arrested for MIP violations and four were arrested for disorderly conduct. There also was one arrest for drunken driving and another for possession of marijuana. A student was arrested on a warrant from another department. All of these incidents occurred on campus.

Director of Student Conduct Tom Idema emphasized drinking alcohol to excess is not condoned by the university.

“We take seriously the risks of drinking and its effects on academic performance and the lives of individual students, their roommates, visitors and the campus and Mount Pleasant communities,” Idema said. “We will remain vigilant in our efforts to address this issue.”

According to CMU’s policy on alcohol use, there are a few designated places on campus where alcohol consumption is permitted. In the Bovee University Center, alcohol use is restricted to the alcoholic beverage services offered by the university through its liquor license and other specific guidelines. Persons may not bring alcohol into the UC for possession, service or consumption, except as authorized by the university.

Students are not permitted to bring or consume alcohol on campus, unless they are 21 years or older and consume it in their residence hall room, or another person’s who is also of age, and

The Department of Art and Design will offer a new art history major in the fall.

With the new major, the department will offer Baroque Art, Eighteenth Century Art, Art of the Ancient Near East and Egypt, Northern Renaissance Art and Islamic Art, in addition to a number of 500-level seminars that weren’t offered before. The 39-credit Bachelor of Arts degree will provide art students with a broader range of courses.

“I think it’s going to be a great addition to the department,” said Assistant Professor of Art History Rachael Barron-Duncan. “The Department of Art and Design has been primarily a studio department up until this point, but in the process of creating the major, we’ve been able to offer and start bringing in new faculty members and new courses, so we have a greater range of courses than we’ve ever had in the past.”

Barron-Duncan said she has been working on implementing the major for several years. Two years ago, the department surveyed students taking and received a large demand for the major.

“Art History is a very standard liberal arts subject matter and it’s something we’ve offered here at Central for years as a minor

CMU hosts 26th annual Celebrating Life Pow Wow

By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Jiingtamok is the Ojibwe word for Pow wow. Those gatherings have been held for centuries and are significant to Native American tribes as times for celebration.

Central Michigan University’s Pow wow committee is tasked with building the Celebrating Life Pow Wow. The student-run committee works year-round on the event so non-natives can enjoy themselves

and learn more about Native American Culture.

“The Pow wow is about (putting) aside the modern things we’ve been doing and coming back together to enjoy our culture for a weekend, and see people we haven’t seen since the year before,” said Alma senior David Syckle II.

University Recreation Department employs 405 students art |

By Conner Emery Staff Reporter

The University Recreation Department at Central Michigan University provides 405 students with work experience and a way to pay their bills.

This is a large number when compared to other recreation programs in the state. Western Michigan University, which has facilities comparable to CMU’s, employs approximately 40-50 student workers.

The University Recreation Department is comprised of the Student Activity Center, the Event Center, and the Bovee University Events and Conference Services.

The three centers allow the department to hire a large number of students.

“All of these departments will provide the same quality,” said Jasmine Chatten, assistant director of facility operations and customer relations. “With that they will also provide the same positive impact on any event.”

University Recreations can have up to 500 student employees, a majority of which work at the SAC. About 100 students work for the Events Center and less than 10 work in Events and Conferences Services.

Kellie Schafer, assistant director of student personnel, said the structure is about benefiting the student employees.

“Having one large division

Residence halls reported an increase in St. Patrick’s Day activity within the past two years, with six alcohol-related transports of students to the hospital.

Associate Director of Residence Life Michelle said the weather and day of the week usually contribute to the amount of activity. She said some Residence Hall

provides students with more opportunities for employment,” Schafer said. “More importantly, the goal is to provide these students with great life experiences.”

Grant Rivet is one of many CMU students working for University Recreation who enjoys having numerous coworkers. The Bay City freshman works at the service center desk in the SAC, answering phones and questions.

“Having more employees makes it a great way to get to know people,” Rivet said. “It helps when you´re going into a big class and having good odds knowing someone there.”

Paige Gillie, a fitness specialist at the SAC, said there are very few problems with working with a large staff.

“You get less hours since there are so many employees,” the Harrison senior said. “But everything else is very positive.”

Having one division run all these events is very unique, not only compared to other MAC schools but to all campuses in general.

Keith Voeks, assistant director of University Events, said the Breslin Center at Michigan State University is run by just the student activity department. At CMU, the initial planning all the way to the end of the event is all covered by one large division made up of the three centers.

Directors attributed the extra activity to the combination of the holiday and Pint Night at Wayside Central.

“Most (incidents) were typical alcohol situations where people were being loud, which results in our staff responding and addressing situations accordingly,” Veith said.

Veith highlighted one situation in particular regarding a woman who was not a student getting kicked out of a local bar and put in a cab. Veith said the person was dropped off at a residence hall and the staff was able to get her the appro-

$23,000 spent on SAC Office Renovation over Spring Break A $23,000 carpet renovation took place during spring break in the University Recreation Office, located in the Student Activity Center.

Assistant Vice President of University Recreation Stan Shingles said carpet was replaced for “routine maintenance,” when the resources were available and the renovation warranted. The budgeted money came from the University Recreation’s auxiliary services project fund. “(The carpet) is something we looked at two years ago and said it’s basically lived it’s life,” Shingles said. “The last time we replaced the carpet in our office complex was in 2001, so that was fourteen years ago.”

Faculty started moving out of the office on March 5.

priate help. The person was transported to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

“Had our students not gotten her help, she could have died,” Veith said. “I would like to thank whoever they were for looking out for others and doing something when they saw someone needed help.”

Veith said if a student is intoxicated to the point of needing medical attention, residence hall staff call 911 and gather information while waiting for the CMUPD and medical assistance to arrive.

“When the student returns,

we will require them to meet for an educational session with one of our counselor’s in residence to process the situation with the hope that the student has more information and will be able to make better choices to keep themselves safe in the future,” she said.

“This is educational and not punitive.”

Despite CMU’s on-campus alcohol policy, posts on Yik Yak, Facebook and Twitter showed many students drinking during their classes.

Over the past decade, the trend of consuming alcohol

and it’s always been part of my aspiration to make this into a major,” BarronDuncan said.

The degree provides students with reading, writing and thinking skills useful for any field, she said.

Art history majors will be required to take intro-level courses in western and nonwestern art and then sample across ancient, medieval, early modern and modern periods of art.

“Once you have that distribution, it’s very open,” Barron-Duncan said.

“Whatever the student is interested in, they can focus in that area much more,” Barron-Duncan said.

Midland junior Sarah Leonard said she excited about the new opportunities that come with the major.

She said the new art history major will go well with her English major. She originally planned on minoring in art history, but when she talked to professors, she learned about opportunities to focus on different cultural aspects of art with the new major.

“We talked about study abroad, different cultural aspects of the art and instead of just focusing on a time in history, you can focus on culture, and I’m really into that,” Leonard said. while navigating campus or attending class while intoxicated has become the norm for students on St. Patrick’s Day. “There was a kid in the UC that fell out of a chair because he was drunk,” said Bullock Creek junior Cody Richardson. “No one even looked up from what they were doing as he was trying to eat a sandwich and yelling on the phone.”

Plymouth senior Jim Lahey was attending class when he heard word of a student being removed from Moore Hall in

Burditt said the department will benefit from more majors being offered.

“We’ve had some struggles in the past couple of years over enrollment, so anything we can do that will have a positive effect on students and bring in students is something we want to look at closely,” Burditt said.

The department recently found out that the College of Communication and Fine Arts, the College of Education and Human Services and the provost will provide the funding to create a MakerBot Innovation Center.

Department Chair Larry Burditt said the 3D printing center would bring extensive possibilities for students.

“When you have four printers, it’s hard to have a class; when you have thirtysome printers, there’s the possibility of it being a class assignment,” he said.

Burditt said they hope to have the lab open by fall 2015. He said if the renovations take place this summer, CMU will be the first public school in the midwest with a MakerBot Innovation Center.

To address low enrollment, the department plans to continue looking at new majors and other ways to grow the department.

They hope to soon decide whether or not they should move forward with a game design or animation major, which fielded interest at recruiting events. an ambulance.

“Someone said they saw a kid getting arrested in Moore, and that kind of sidetracked the whole class,” Lahey said.

“We just ended up laughing about it.”

or police patrolling Central Michigan

University and the rest of Mount Pleasant, St. Patrick’s Day is an entirely different celebration than St. Patrick’s Night.

Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said the need for police presence escalated after 5 p.m. Tuesday.

“I thought it was going to be a relatively calm St. Patrick’s Day based on the afternoon,” Browne said. “After about 5 p.m., our calls for service really picked up.”

Between the hours of midnight and 7 p.m. MPPD responded to 165 calls for service, well above the average 130 calls for service during those hours on St. Patrick’s Day. Arrests and citations were down however, with police completing only 29 citations and arrests as a result of those 165 calls, as compared to the usual 40 some arrests made between those hours.

During St. Patrick’s Day, MPPD issued 4 traffic citations, 10 charges of obstructing justice, 2 citations for trespassing, made 1 arrest for aggravated assault and issued 20 separate citations for alcohol violations. One of these citations was issued to a 24-year-old Snover man who walked directly in front of a vehicle at the 1000 Block of South Mission Street with open intoxicants in hand.

Police also arrested a 21-year-old Caledonia man who tried to light a couch fire. The man, who police said is a CMU student, fled police on foot until he was caught and arrested on charges of arson and resisting and obstructing.

“For whatever reason, things really picked up even before dark,” Browne said. “I thought our educational and preventative measures were having an effect, but maybe not as much.”

Lt. Cameron Wassman of CMUPD said the campus was as calm as previous St. Patrick’s Days.

“This year was fairly typical,” Wassman said. “A lot of it is weather driven.”

Officer Jeff Browne talks to a student and reminds him to be safe during St. Patrick Day at Washington Apartments.

back when St. Patrick’s Day fell on a 75 degree Saturday, it was like “all hell broke loose”. Tuesday’s high temperature was 45 degrees.

“When it’s colder out, people don’t get so out of hand,” Wassman said.

Clarkston Freshman Jonathan Millis said he and his friends thought the day was wild.

“It was way crazier than we expected,” Millis said. “It definitely set the bar for next year.”

Alternatively, South Haven se-

nior Claire Trapp said the day was pretty mild.

“There’s two main times I’ve noticed people getting out of hand,” Trapp said. “The first is St. Patrick’s Day, and the second is Halloween. That’s when a lot of kids who don’t usually drink feel like they have to go out and get drunk at 8 a.m. They don’t know their tolerance as well, so those days can get out of hand, but I thought this year was quiet compared to my last few.”

EDITORIAL | Women and men need to organize for equality

Fight for your rights Organization essential for advancement in women’s rights As Women’s History Month continues, it is important to recognize the work of women right here on campus.

Over the past few years, womenled registered student organizations have increased their presence at Central Michigan University. We commend women of CMU for taking the initiative to organize. We encourage all students—both men and women—to participate in the fight for equal rights.

Women have made significant strides towards euqal rights since earning the right to vote in 1920, but

"Pam was a wonderful woman who cared deeply about anyone and everyone who passed through the doors of Moore 436. In a whathave-you-done-for-melately industry, it was a breath of fresh air to see her smiling face, positive attitude and grateful personality each and every day. I went many days without eating in that office, busy from trying to piece together the next day’s paper or chasing down a story, and she was always there willing to help and provide nourishment.

She was like a second mom during my time at CMU, and someone I’ll cherish forever."

Aaron McMann, Spring 2013 CM Life Editor-in-Chief

“Pam was like a college mom-away-from-home to me and to literally every student who worked at CM Life in my generation. No matter what assignment or problem you were dealing with that day, the woman was just so full of love for us that nothing could withstand her warmth. And I think we all really needed that. Also her homebaked treats were so cripplingly good, they could fix anything.

So rest in peace, Pam. You were so loved by all of us. Thanks for that day you and I played that prank on the crazy caller and for always being such a good friend. Hope to see you again . . . someday.”

CM Life loves you, Pam Mariah Prowoznik Editor-in-Chief Breakfast burritos. Beautiful handmade jewelry. Bright smile.

That’s what came to mind when I learned our beloved office mother had died.

Pamela Rowland served as Central Michigan Life’s secretary for more than half of her 32 years working on campus until her retirement on April 30, 2014.

While in her 20’s, she began part-time in the newsroom helping out with administrative duties on Aug. 26, 1981.

Pam loved working, but more importantly she loved every student that became a member of the Central Michigan Life family.

She didn’t have any children— every one of her students was like a child to her.

For editors, spending 40-50 hours a week in the newsroom becomes the norm. As a result, the office becomes a home away from home.

As all good moms do, Pam kept our fridge stocked and often cooked meals for us.

Her meals began as a celebration for the last print edition of the year.

Soon, a feast was delivered the first day as well, followed by holidays.

The first election night I spent in the newsroom was decorated by her, complete with streamers and a cake shaped like the Capitol. Cakes, brownies and all sorts of baked goods found a home on the kitchen counter.

She loved cooking for us, and enjoyed seeing other people enjoying themselves.

I remember my first time devouring her homemade cooking.

make only 66 percent of what their male counterparts are paid.

Inequality between men and women exists in other areas of the workforce as well. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that only 24 percent of STEM jobs were held by women in 2009.

CMU’s growing emphasis on STEM education, including the STEM Education Scholar Program, is a step in the right direction to balance this unequal representation.

In order to overcome adversity and inequality, women must be able to

organize. Groups like the Organization of Women Leaders, the Society of Women Engineers and Women in Medicine are the perfect places for college women to become more effective leaders and to bring light to gender-related issues.

Getting involved in these or other women-led or oriented RSOs is easy to do and will only make the conversation louder. Being able to organize, plan events and hold leadership positions is imperative, as women are denied these opportunities more often than men outside the university.

Some groups allow men to participate as members or as guests in events and activities, making it simple for men to join the cause. You don’t have to be a woman to advocate for women’s rights. The responsibility falls on everyone in society.

Equality is basic and fundamental.

Still, it’s something that women, along with several other minority groups, are being denied. Now, in the 21st century, there’s no reason we can’t change that.

Join the fight, and help create the equal society we need.

It was my first Sunday shift as a page designer in 2011. I walked over to the water cooler, and noticed a red wagon parked in the kitchen.

It wasn’t just any red wagon—it had a big crock pot and a large tupperware container.

I had only been working here for a few days, but long enough to know to eat before my 5 p.m. shift started.

“Oh, hi!

You’re new right? I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Pam,” she said as she handed me a bag of hamburger buns.

“Do you like sloppy joes? I made some up. I hope you do.

I made pasta salad, too, if you don’t.”

Two plates later, my editor, Eric Dresden, came over to my desk.

“Nice! You grabbed some of Pam’s cooking,” he said. “She’s the best.”

Eric was the first person I texted after I had found out we would never see her smile again.

She always had a smile on her face, and could always put one on mine.

Pam was the most selfless person I’ve ever met.

Shortly before her retirement in 2014, she created bracelets for most of the editorial staff. She let me in on her secret project, asking my input every time I walked by her desk.

A leather strap with a metal oval reading “CM LIFE” was given to the men, and for the women, my wrists acted as her mannequin as she admired her own handiwork.

“Can you help me double check the names I wrote down? I really don’t want to forget anyone,” she asked.

Before Pam, I always thought gifts were received at retirement, not given away.

When we found out Pam passed away, CM Lifers who knew her

“I have seldom met a person who possessed such a kind, gentle, caring soul as that of Pam Rowland. She was beloved by her CM Life professional peers and by the hundreds of student journalists who passed through the doors for more than 30 years of her tenure.

When I tweeted the news of her death, my computer lit up for more than a hour by messages from ex-CM Lifers. Former reporter Maria Amante said it best: ‘Pam was a wonderful woman, and made CM Life a home for all of us.’ Pam loved to cook and went out of her way to provide a constant stream of food at CM Life. The staffers eagerly looked forward to her special election night ‘buffets.’ I used to joke that many CM Life seniors stayed around for an extra semester or two because they knew Pam would be feeding them. I last saw her at her CMU retirement farewell nearly a year ago. She was upbeat, content and looking forward to the next phase of her life. She was taken from us far, far too soon.”

“Thank you for being the mom we all needed on hard days at CM Life. Even on the days I just ate, you made sure to heat me up some pizza for the walk to class.

You are truly one of a kind and words cannot explain how much you are missed and how thankful we all are to have had you in our lives. Rest in peace.”

were all in shock.

It only took a few minutes for word to spread to almost everyone Pam cared for. Facebook statuses popped up, memories were shared, tears were shed.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 21 at Clark Family Funeral Chapel, Lifers near and far will be coming together to celebrate and share memories of the woman who always kept us under her care.

In 1995, she earned a Certificate of Accomplishment from the CMU Connections Quality Service Training Program, and in 1996, she was nominated for a staff excellence award from Central Michigan University.

Pam enjoyed visiting Mackinaw Island and collecting Titanic and JFK memorabilia.

She was very fond of animals, a shark enthusiast and leaves behind her two cats—Navarre and Isabeau.

Memorial contributions may be made to H.A.T.S. (Humane Animal Treatment Society).

Thank you, Pam. For everything.

“If Pam was off work for any reason, one of the first things she would ask me when she returned was if anyone missed her. Today I would tell her that everyone misses her, because there's a bright light in our lives that has gone out. I will miss her forever.”

Phi Beta Sigma has fast growing membership

If you build it, they will come Humble Abode Tiny Homes New Venture team prepares for competition

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

Three Oaks senior Sarah Campbell and Harrison senior Jessica Koskinen are hoping their Humble Abode Tiny Homes business will become the second tiny home builder in the midwest.

They hope to achieve this through the New Venture Competition, which is offering more than $75,000 in awards on March 27.

Humble Abode Tiny Homes builds homes smaller than the average 1,200 square foot home. The homes will be 400 square feet and net-zero ready, or equipped to keep the home running sustainably and cost efficient, to keep the cost of utilities down. The stylish, efficient living will be close to Detroit.

The team envisions building communities and supplying energy to them by using solar and wind energy systems, pumping the leftover energy into the Detroit energy grid.

“We chose Detroit as our main area to build because there’s so much land to build (on) and the old abandoned structures we could possibly use or tear down,” Campbell said.

Koskinen compares the homes to a “studio apartment” that still remains

“like a house.”

Made of largely green materials to remain environmentally friendly, the tiny homes are set in a community-style living situation.

“We really wanted to emphasize the fact you can live in a nice home and have the same simple luxuries a regular sized home does as long as you do it with a little creativity,” Koskinen said.

“You can still have space and move around and have a life.”

The team began preparing for the competition in fall 2014.

Central Michigan Life sat down with the New Venture competitors to talk about their work.

What have you completed since beginning in the fall semester?

Koskinen: The work you imagine in the beginning isn’t anywhere close to the actual work you end up putting in. We’ve completed the business plan, the financial statement for the next four years and our cash flow statement. Picturing all that done while just starting out our idea in the fall seemed impossible and I don’t think it would have been possible without the competition.

Campbell: We’ve gotten far enough that we found some locations to build the homes. Our business model

has high-growth potential because we could go in so many different sectors. We could do rentals or go into residential homes. Maybe we could even do nonprofit, where we can help people because it’s affordable housing.

cause you’re always thinking about doing homework, grades and exams, and this is just additional pressure on top of that. We won’t know what the actual pressure is like until the actual competition. Then the pressure is on.

How do you manage to stay organized and make time to meet?

Campbell: We’re roommates, so that helps. That’s been the easiest part for us.

I don’t think it would work and I wouldn’t have entered the competition if I didn’t find a partner so close to me. It’s hard to organize.

You just make a list and hope you get to check it off at the end of the day.

What are you doing to prepare for the competition on March 27?

Campbell: We’re working with an architect to finalize our floor plans and model of the house. So we can have a visual aid to show the judges.

Koskinen: We are finishing our presentation and getting set on our financials to make sure they’re all correct. We’re trying to get our name out there as much as possible. This isn’t just about the competition.

We’re going to run with it once we graduate, so we’re trying to get it out as much as we can. This competition is just our first step.

What is the pressure of the competition like?

Koskinen: There’s a lot of pressure to stay in communication with our mentors, which can be hard for students sometimes be-

“Through culture for service and service for humanity,” the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma are looking to leave a lasting mark on Central Michigan University’s campus.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. is part of the “Divine Nine,” Black Greek Letter Organizations that make up the National Panhellenic Council, which oversees several multicultural Greek organizations.

They were founded nationally in 1914. CMU’s chapter was founded in 1979.

The fraternity has 10 members on campus, including six new members added in February. The six new members mark the largest amount of recruits in the history of Phi Beta Sigma’s CMU chapter.

The chapter’s president, Romulus senior Richard Walker, joined the fraternity in spring 2013, and said he has been impacted greatly by becoming a member of the organization.

“I’ve definitely grown a lot in terms of being accountable, because when you wear letters you’re not just representing yourself, you’re representing your organization,” Walker said. “It also gave me a platform to show myself in a light where people haven’t been used to seeing me.”

In February, the Sigmas, what the fraternity goes by in the multicultural Greek community, had a week full of programs to inform and impact the community. The programs were meant to educate people and have dialogue about topics including fitness, health and social issues, like the current relationship between law enforcement and citizens.

During a program entitled “Police and Public Relations,” members from various police departments came to CMU for a discussion with students.

Fraternity member and Mount Pleasant senior Paul Barlow said the dialogue between the police and citizens was productive and needed. He said police and citizen relations have been on the minds of many people nationally.

“Lately there have been a lot of issues with police and the African-American community,” Barlow said. “(Students) were able to talk

with them and have questions and comments about their policies, and tell how we look at things from our point of view.”

The Sigmas have one of the largest groups in the NPHC at CMU. Low membership in multicultural fraternities is a result of the number of African-Americans on a predominantly white campus.

“At a school where NPHC isn’t as big as everybody else, it’s kind of tough to get exposure and communication out there,” Barlow said. “It’s been on the up and up nowadays because we’ve made more of an effort to reach out to the IFC and the Panhellenic Council as a committee to support each other.”

History and tradition are major parts of not just Phi Beta Sigma, but all organizations in NPHC. Most of these were founded more than 100 years ago when blacks were denied rights and acceptance.

“The Divine Nine started with black men and women having a vision on how to improve their community, and how to bring each other along through brotherhood to accomplish bigger goals,” Walker said. “Especially in a time when a lot of people were divided and backs were against the wall considering that racism was big around that time.”

Flint junior Jordan Fields is one of four members of Phi Beta Sigma who is on the CMU football team. Being known for more than his work on the gridiron is something Fields takes pride in.

“It’s good to see football players being more than just football players, and actually stepping out of their status quo role and being involved in the community and campus activities,” Fields said.

“When people are on sports teams, they can branch out to a different community that another person may not be able to.”

Ultimately, this chapter of Phi Beta Sigma said they want to be known for the positive legacy they leave on campus.

“I think that we’ll be remembered as a sociable group that is always trying to help out in the community and doing what’s right,” Fields said. “We try to be good men who handle things right, and do things the right way.”

Camp Central expanding to new cities, students

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

For seventh graders that attend Camp Central for College Candidates, the transition to college life can be easier.

Camp Central started in 2014 as a way to help children experience life on a college campus and become educated in science, technology, engineering and math.

Last year, 50 students participated. Camp Central is expanding to include more students from Flint, Saginaw and Detroit.

Grand Rapids freshman Molly Stull is an education major and has worked very closely with middle school students during her observation hours. Stull said not only is the exposure to college important, but educating children in STEM is critical.

“Science and math are the two fields that are progressing faster than ever,” Stull said. “Middle school is when a lot of students are discovering themselves. Exposure to STEM fields that age is essential, but often missed.”

Stull said expanding Camp Central to other cities could change the lives of the students living in areas that may

have less educational opportunities and can make them start thinking of what they want to do in the future.

“Students are very moldable at this age,” Stull said.

“They will begin making decisions in the next few years that will impact how the rest of their life plays out.

Exposing students to college life help them explore all the possibilities for their future.”

She said Camp Central is important because it helps students find their passion.

“If I could have attended a program like this where it is STEM oriented, I would have learned from a much earlier age that I am very strong in science,” Stull said. “I am so incredibly passionate about science, but it took me until two years ago to figure that out. Having middle school students attend Camp Central can expose them to things they might not be exposed to at home or in their schools.”

College of Education and Human Services Dean Elizabeth Dale-Pehrsson said today’s jobs are requiring community college or university education and because of this, CMU wants to show that this is a possibility for anyone to attain.

Courtesy Photo | University Communications Middle school students participate in making bubbles with string and straws during the 2014 Camp Central for College Candidates.

“We hope Camp Central spurs young people on thinking of attending a university,” Pehrsson said. “If it is CMU, even better. If it is not, we are trying to engender a college going culture in Michigan.”

At Camp Central, campers are able participate in handson experiences while the university’s staff, faculty and teacher education students

delivered STEM learning styles. CMU students are also able to assist with the camp.

Last year, the students that worked with the campers were mostly from the GEAR UP program. Pehrsson said this summer they are working to expand to all students who qualify.

“We are hoping that students attending CMU will apply to work at Camp Central

2015,” Pehrsson said. “It is a great opportunity to engage with young middle school students from around Michigan and to help these children learn about how wonderful attending college can be.”

Mary Henley, director of the GEAR UP program, said not only is it a great chance for kids to learn about college, but also leads to

positive outcomes for CMU students.

“CMU students have the opportunity to volunteer with GEAR UP students to increase their leadership skills,” Henley said. “It also provides a sense of giving back to ensure students are receiving the proper skills to prepare them for postsecondary education.”

Students design video games for competitions

By Emily Deruiter Staff Reporter

Playing video games helped Steven Ledsworth keep his sanity growing up, and creating them for others is his way of giving back.

The Port Heron senior and his competitor Josh Whaley’s games were voted crowd favorites during the ExtravaGAMEza Smash Bros tournament held by the Game Development and Design Club in December.

A second ExtravaGAMEza will be April 24.

The indie game-creation winners said successful game-designing requires creative brainstorming, a timeline and keeping things simple. When Whaley is

pow wow | continued from 1 McGuirk arena of the Events Center.

Goals were assigned and delegated by the Pow wow committee each meeting, and included picking dance specials, acquiring volunteers, securing vendors and raising funds.

“The Pow wow committee is comprised of student volunteers; myself and my secretary are their advisers,” said Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs.

“When we moved into January we made sure we contacted

brainstorming, he said he usually starts with something popular.

“I think about what I want different (in games) or what would make it more entertaining,” the Perry senior said.

To aid the brainstorming process, Computer Science Professor Anthony Morelli asks his students to do five or six game design challenges a semester. In one challenge, students were tasked with brainstorming a game design idea that only used one switch to interact. “(Design challenges) help people learn how to design games in their head, which is a hard process,” Morelli said. “The idea for the brainstorming part is not to

spend a whole lot of time designing, but to come up with a solid idea.”

After brainstorming, Morelli said the next step is “implementation,” deciding where the graphics and sounds will come from.

Designers must also build a timeline for when graphics, music and coding will be completed.

“The best games are the ones that are really thought out and are to the ability of the person (creating) it,” Morelli said. “When people over-think their abilities, they get frustrated and don’t finish.”

Ledsworth and Whaley both developed games in Morelli’s classes using Unity, a game-development

software downloadable for free. It requires minimal knowledge of coding. Morrelli said after building the gist of what the game will be, test driving it and making sure it is fun to play is the next step.

Morelli said the first time a game is played, it is guaranteed to be flawed. He also said one of the most rewarding things about game creation is watching someone else play the game you created.

“When people take my class, they quickly realize that they can make something they can show their friends and be quickly impressed by it,” Morelli said. “(They) like to get that feedback.”

all the dignitaries, and they made contact to all of the senior officers at the University to request funding,” Green said.

“A lot of January was (spent) getting advertisements for the Pow wow program to hand out to everyone coming through the door.”

The Pow wow will open with “grand entry,” where all of the dancers gather in the arena to be acknowledged and give acknowledgment to each other and their ancestors. Committee President Kelsey McCullough said she enjoys watching the dancers.

“The best part of putting on a Pow wow is seeing the outcome,” said the Wilson

alumna. “My favorite part is during grand entry, when we see there are well over a 150 dancers, eight drums and tons of spectators.”

Vendors sell traditional food and crafts while spectators enjoy the immersion of culture.

CMU’s Pow Wow draws members of different Native American tribes —including the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe — with contests in singing, drumming and dancing.

“People will come a long way to win a large amount of money,” Syckle said. “(The contests) tend to bring in more drummers (and) dancers. The food vendors make traditional foods like fried bread and

lemonades (while) the craft vendors trade bead-work, pouches — all types of native crafts.”

Admission is free for students and members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, with identification.

Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for elders and children.

“Last year we had people from eight different states,” Green said. “All over, not to mention territories in Canada — people from Ontario, Saskatchewan. Over 56 tribe affiliations, with the dancers and the singers.”

Head Gymnastics Coach Reighard leads Chippewas to quest for sixth consecutive conference title

Reighard: It’s about the legacy these athletes are going to be able to take with them and the pride in CMU that they’re going to have. I think it is a family heirloom not many people get to experience.

n three decades as the head coach of the Central Michigan University gymnastics team, Jerry Reighard has coached the Chippewas to 15 Mid-American Conference Championships. The Chippewas head to Kent State University on Saturday in search of the program’s sixth consecutive conference crown.

Central Michigan Life caught up with Reighard as he reflected on his time in Mount Pleasant and the culture he has helped create.

Reighard: It’s probably more important than their physical attributes. They are separating factors. You get several athletes of the same caliber. It is so much easier to make an athlete great when she is smart enough to understand what you are talking about.

What has changed and what has stayed the same in your three decades leading this program?

Reighard: Facilities have gone way beyond what I had ever thought they would be here. I used to drive a Suburban (with) the team to a meet. We didn’t stay overnight. The athletes are tremendously more talented than when I first came here. w reighard | 9

Gymnastics heads to Kent in search of sixth consecutive MAC Title

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan University gymnastics team has the opportunity to make history when No. 21 CMU heads to Kent State University for the Mid-American Conference Championship Meet at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The Chippewas have never won six consecutive MAC titles in program history, but will attempt to do so this weekend.

A stellar performance during the second half of the regular season propelled Head Coach Jerry Reighard’s squad into the National College Athletics Association Top 25. Four CMU gymnasts earned All-MAC honors as the Chippewas claimed the program’s first MAC regular season title since 2012.

CMU broke the 196 mark three times during the second half of the season. Reighard said the Chippewas need to continue their stride in order to make program history this weekend.

“We just have to be consistent,” Reighard said. “If we are the team we have been, we shouldn’t have a problem with winning the championship.

49.1 on each event is the goal.”

That goal would give CMU a team total of 196.4, the same score the Chippewas notched the last time they visited Kent State.

One threat to CMU’s MAC title hope is Northern Illinois University.

The Huskies handed the Chippewas a defeat Feb.6 , CMU’s only conference loss of the season.

NIU has won its last three competitions and took over the No. 2 spot

“We just have to be consistent. If we are the team we have been, we shouldn’t have a problem with winning the championship. 49.1 on each event is the goal.”

Jerry Reighard, Head Coach in the MAC standings last week by defeating Eastern Michigan University while setting a school record, scoring 195.8.

Amanda Stepp, an NIU senior, won MAC Gymnast of the Week with a pair of 9.9s and a 9.85.

With a combined record of 13-5, EMU has seen more competition than any other team this season.

Senior all-arounder Anna Willette is the gymnast to watch for the Eagles.

Willette was named to first team

All-MAC and consistently scored at least 39.1 in her events.

However, EMU is 3-3 away from Ypsilanti this season.

For the Chippewas to finish the season on a historic high note, they must focus on winning individual championships.

“My personal goal is to get a best on both of my events (bars and beam),” senior Kylie Fagan said. “(I’m) still looking for that 10 on bars.”

Fagan is looking to repeat her performance last season and win a second consecutive bars title.

CMU has an Olympic rotation, a vital advantage to start on vault and finish on floor like a home dual meet.

“It’s definitely a good thing to be able to perform there and on their equipment,” Reighard said.

“It is very orchestrated and it is a chance for us to get comfortable with the setting.”

Baseball opens MAC schedule at home against Ohio University

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

After a solid nonconference outing, the Central Michigan University baseball team opens its Mid-American Conference season this weekend against Ohio University.

The starting pitching rotation for CMU this weekend will be freshman Nick Deeg (3-1, 2.10 ERA) on at 3:05 p.m. on Friday, and freshman Pat Leatherman (2-0, 2.55 ERA) on at 2:05 p.m. on Saturday. Jason Gamble (2-1, 2.62 ERA) will close out the three-game series at 1:05 p.m. on Sunday.

CMU (13-8) comes into this weekend’s matchup with OU (11-6) on a twogame losing streak while OU has won its last two outings.

Head Coach Steve Jaksa said being consistent in “all phases of the game” will allow the Chippewas to open the MAC season on a winning note.

“I feel we have done some really good things on numerous occasions (this

season),” Jaksa said. “We just have to get right back to being consistent defensively. We need to get back to our style of play again.”

The Bobcats are led by sophomore left fielder Mitch Longo and junior center fielder Manny Dejesus. Longo leads OU with a batting average of .395 and has 30 hits this season.

Junior shortstop Joe Houlihan said playing at home for the first time this season will ignite an offense that has been struggling recently.

“Our last couple of games haven’t been what we wanted offensively,” Houlihan said. “We’re going to be really excited to be back home. I think that will get some fire under our butts a little bit.”

DeJesus has the secondbest batting average (.393) of all Chippewas. He also leads his team in runs scored with 20 and on-base percentage with an average of .486.

Six of OU’s starters have a batting average higher than 300.

Coming into this week-

end’s matchup with the Chippewas the Bobcats are averaging 7.7 runs per game.

Senior pitcher Tim Black said the CMU pitching staff must not deviate from its game plan against Bobcat hitters.

“I think we have a pretty good staff,” Black said.

“What we have to do is just stick to our gameplan.

We’ve proven we can pitch with the best of them.”

Horan, Heffernan advance to second round of NCAA Meet

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Two Central Michigan University wrestlers advanced to the second round of the NCAA National Wrestling Championships, picking up victories in the tournament’s first round on Saturday in St. Louis, Mo. Representing CMU in the tournament was junior Zach Horan and freshmen Colin Heffernan and Jordan Ellingwood.

Horan, ranked 10th in his weight class, wrestled against Mathew Kraus from Arizona State University in the first round and won 5-1 in the 141pound weight class, recording two takedowns.

Horan will take on the University of Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault in the second round on Friday. Horan has four losses this season, one of them coming

at the hands of Ashnault.

Heffernan was the second Chippewa to take the mats on Thursday in the 149-pound weight class. In the first round, Heffernan took down Iowa State University’s Gabe Moreno 5-3 recording two takedowns.

With his first round win, Heffernan earns a showdown with No. 8 Alexander Richardson from Old Dominion University on Friday.

In the 174-pound weight class, Ellingwood lost by major decision 14-5 to the University of Virginia’s Blaise Butler. Ellingwood drops to the tournament’s consolation bracket, where he will face Jadaen Bernstein of Navy.

The tournament resumes Friday at 10 a.m.

Second Round Horan fell to Ashnault (No.7) 6-3 in the 141-pound weight

class. During the loss, Horan recorded one escape and a takedown.

Heffernan, who entered the tournament unranked, lost to No. 8 Alexander Richardson from Old Dominion University 2-1 in the 149-pound weight class.

At the end of the third period, the match was tied 1-1, but a riding time bonus point would secure the victory for Richardson.

Ellingwood will take on Jadaen Bernstein from Navy in the consolation bracket on Friday.

At the end of Day One, Ohio State University is in first place with 22.5 points, Penn State University is second with 18.5 points. Oklahoma State University is third with 18 points.

The NCAA wrestling tournament resumes Friday at 10 a.m.

OU’s starting pitching has been anything but consistent, giving up 106 runs this season, an opponent’s average of 6.2 runs per game.

Three pitchers have started a game for OU this season with a combined 6.61 earned run average.

Black said the key to scoring runs is getting hits at the right times.

“It’s about timely hit-

ting,” Black said. “We were right in the game with Notre Dame if we would have done that. We had a lot of chances to score.”

Leading the starting staff of OU is junior pitcher Connor Sitz. He is 4-1 on the season with a 3.20 earned run average in 25.1 innings pitched.

Recently the Chippewas have had trouble driving in runners.

Jaksa said having a relaxed

approach at the plate while making adjustments as the game progresses will be important for CMU as well.

“They have to stay relaxed. They have to make sure they are doing a good job of keeping themselves in the moment while not trying to do too much,” Jaksa said. “When you do that then (you can) do something good with it.”

reighard | continued from 7 Your daughter was a gymnast at CMU. What did it mean to coach one of your children at one of the highest levels?

Reighard: When I think of life, I really think of God, or my faith, my family, then my employment. We have a trampoline in our backyard, we had rope swings that went into ponds. My wife and I owned a club so they were always “gym rats.” We didn’t have babysitters, they were at the gym. To (coach) your own child, what more can you ask for? It was a great experience for both of us.

Why have the last 10 years been so successful for this program?

Reighard: I have been successful because I am doing what God wants me to do. It is not because of me and my coaching, I know that for sure.

Success in our sport depends on 18-22 year old women.

Those are intangible things.

When you have staff and athletes that want to be good, you can mold them, and usually ends up with success.

Recently, what do you think opponents think when they see CMU on their schedule?

Reighard: I want them to be hesitant, I want their athletes to look at it and go “That’s a good team.” That’s why I have to go to Utah or

California. Michigan State won’t schedule us. The University of Michigan, is No. 6 (in the nation) and usually in the top 12. It’s not like we are exactly their caliber, but if they don’t have a great day,

we’re going to be right there.

To get knocked off by a midmajor, in any sport, they’re just hesitant.

The Chippewas had a bit of a rough patch from 2005-2009, what did it

take to bounce back with such force?

Reighard: Better recruiting. I was feeling pretty high on the horse prior to ’06. We had done really well. When it comes to the choices like

for it for four. During a 30year career, you learn, the way you bounce back is you stay in your niche. You find kids that really want to get better, they know this staff can make them better and that is our niche.

ING N E P O JOB

Gymnastics are prepared for a postseason run No. 21 Central Michigan University Gymnastics can win its sixth consecutive Mid-American Conference title Saturday at Kent State.

The reigning champs are undoubtedly the favorites again.

The scariest part about the team is they’re just now starting to heat up.

Vault and floor have been solid all year for CMU, while bars has been mostly positive as well. Up until two weeks ago, it was the balance beam that repeatedly sunk the Chippewas.

CMU sent three gymnasts to Nationals last year—all on balance beam. This year, Emily Heinz graduated and senior Taylor Noonan, who suffered a potentially careerending knee injury after the first meet of the season.

Noonan sat and watched the beam team score 47’s and 48’s week after week this season, far short of the 49 they hope for. She wouldn’t get another chance to perform at McGuirk Arena, even on Senior Day.

UCLA or Central Michigan, we couldn’t win that. So mistakenly, when we didn’t get these elite kids, the kids that we should have been recruiting were gone. I did that for three straight years, but I paid

Editor in Chief is responsible for the overall content, design and publication of The Central Review, the official student literary magazine of Central Michigan University.

But the Colorado native wasn’t done.

Two weeks ago she returned to the beam lineup, scored a 9.9 and propelled her team to a season high 49.1 on the road at Brigham Young University.

She hit another 9.9 on beam Sunday against Western Michigan University to help clinch the MAC regular season title.

While the beam may still be uncertain for the Chippewas, they can count on their closer for one strong score.

In the past five meets, CMU has four scores of 196 and above. They have five scores above a 196 this season, while the rest of the MAC combined has a total of two. Another 196 Saturday will likely be enough for a sixth straight ring.

been consistently dominant on vault and floor and was also one of the three to go to Nationals on beam last year. Senior Kylie Fagan is tied for sixth in the country on the uneven bars with a 9.891 season average.

And Noonan is back, competing like as if she had never left.

For this team, the MAC Championships are just an introduction to the postseason.
