LANSING

A 22-year-old Central Michigan University student was arrested on charges of stalking, according to the Central Michigan University Police Department.

The man was also arrested on charges of using a computer to commit a crime.

He used the computer as part of his stalking behavior, according to Lt. Cameron Wassman.

At about 2:45 p.m., police who had been searching for the suspect throughout the day, found the student in the 1000 block of South Washington Street. Lt. Larry Klaus said the man is accused of stalking a female CMU student in a residence hall. The two students had been involved in a prior dating relationship.

The man was transported and lodged at the Isabella County Jail. They do not yet know when the man’s arraignment will be.

CMU police coordinated the arrest with the Mount Pleasant Police Department.

Activists from CMU and eight Michigan universities join at the Capitol

By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

Activists from eight different Michigan universities joined with Central Michigan University students Thursday to march through the streets of Lansing and up the steps of the Capitol in protest of social justice issues.

President of Student Environmental Alliance Vincent Roncelli helped organize CMU’s involvement in the protest.

“There were plenty of students working toward this protest,” said the Armada senior. “We have been emailing organizations on campus, reaching out to professors, setting up rides and figuring out the specific demands for the protest for about a month.”

Ian Matchett, a University of Michigan alumnus and organizer for the Michigan Student Power Network, led the march and said its purpose was to protest on the last day the legislature is in session before their break. Protesters presented a list of 10 demands — insisting legislators ban fracking, decommission Enbridge Inc.’s Line 5 oil pipeline and institute comprehensive reforms on social policies like immigration, education, LGBTQ issues and race.

“We’re trying to build a statewide, student movement,” Matchett said. “Right now we’re a couple hundred students across the state, and we’re trying to bring different movements together.”

CMU students showed up to the protest, representing their university’s Student Environmental Association.

Petoskey senior Traven Michaels traveled to Lansing with SEA to demand the Snyder Administration to decommission Enrbidge’s Line 5 pipeline, which runs under the Straits in Mackinac.

Students pass out stickers and flyers demonstrating their beliefs on different policies they want changed.

“Today we’re here to show solidarity for the 10 demands we are presenting to lead to a more just and equitable state of Michigan,” Michaels said. “We want Enbridge’s Line 5 decommissioned, and for fracking to ultimately be banned.”

Central Michigan University Police Department responded to 21 marijuana complaints in spring 2014, 24 complaints during fall 2014 and 18 complaints this semester.

CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman said this may point to a slight increase in offenses. According to the most current Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, CMPUD officers arrested 43 people for controlled substances on campus, 54 overall.

Associate Director of Residence Life Michelle Veith said if students are found to be using or possessing marijuana, the incident is documented by hall staff who first contact the Residence Hall Director as well as CMU police, and refer the student to the Office of Student Conduct.

Twenty students were arrested for controlled substances in residence halls in 2013.

The Office of Student Conduct reported 86 cases of substance abuse during the 2013-14 academic year, compared to 92 cases the previous year.

“Whether it’s marijuana residue or a gram, it is still a violation,” Veith said. “Typically a first-time sanction is a fine of $300 and the student will be put on disciplinary probation, as well as having to complete an online course about drugs like Marijuana 101.”

Residents sign an agreement not to possess, use, manufacture, produce or distribute any controlled substances.

Section 4.4.7 of the Code of Student Conduct states separate penalties for students who are distributing marijuana.

Dealing marijuana out of the residence halls is referred to as a “grave offense” and carries a harsher penalty.

CMPUD Cpt. Fred Harris said students need to consider the legal repercussions of using marijuana on campus.

“It’s not just the school that cracks down on you,” Harris said.

“You can be cited by police.”

Possession of marijuana carries a 93-day misdemeanor charge with fines $200-500.

Although Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said that he has encountered many people who are confused about the city’s new ordinance, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

On Nov. 4, 2014, 62.3 percent of Mount Pleasant residents voted in favor decriminalizing the possession and use of less than one ounce of marijuana for adults above the age of 21 in their private home.

“Some people don’t understand what the new ordinance allows for,” Browne said. “It doesn’t mean marijuana is legal in Mount Pleasant for anyone over 21. It only states that the city will not have an ordinance preventing people 21 and over from using or possessing up to an ounce of marijuana on their own private property.”

PROTEST | continued from 1 in Michigan is regulated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

Williamston freshman Raelynn Jewison, also a member of SEA, said Enbridge’s Line 5 should have been decommissioned a long time ago.

“We need to protect and conserve our water,” Jewison said. “This should have been done forever ago.”

Waterford senior and Student Government Association vice president Mariah Urueta stood on the top step of the entrance to the Capitol building, megaphone in hand, and addressed the crowd. She spoke passionately about the need to decommission Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline.

“In 2010 Enbridge’s Kalamazoo River pipeline leaked for days, causing destruction which the whole area of Battle Creek and the Kalamazoo River have never recovered from,” Urueta said.

Urueta said Marathon Petroleum Company’s oil refinery in Detroit along with a number of waste incinerators within Detroit are prime examples of “environmental racism.”

Brad Wurfel, communications director for the Department of Environmental Quality said the department is looking into concerns raised about Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline. Since environmentalists raised the issue of the pipeline last year, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette started the pipeline task force, which will issue its official report on Line 5 and other disputed pipelines.

“The bottom line is, it’s not leaking,” Wurfel said.

“Line 5 was an engineering marvel when it was built, it is completely different from other pipelines.”

Environmental watchdogs have raised concerns that the pipeline is under a particularly vulnerable body of water, and is approximately 60 years old.

“Enrbidge regularly inspects the pipeline and tests it for thin spots,” Wurfel said. “The pipeline is in excellent condition.”

Wurfel also said it is important to note that Line 5 has never held tar sands crude, which was a focal point of the protest.

“Line 5 can transport light crude and natural gas,” he said.

Matchett spoke of the need for a “cohesive care movement” to the backdrop of dozens of students rallying around banners.

“Everyone is talking about rebuilding Michigan,” Matchett said. “We want to ensure Michigan is rebuilt as a state young people will want to live in. Right now legislators favor older, wealthier white males. We need to represent everyone.”

Education was a primary concern addressed by protesters. One group of students said Michigan is seriously lacking in sexual education curricula, as part

of an overarching complaint about Michigan’s general educational standards.

“Young people are leaving this state,” Matchett said.

“We pay to educate them, and then we export them to other states. That’s not a future for Michigan.”

In 2013, the Detroit Regional Chamber released a report detailing the mobility of graduates of Michigan’s 15 public universities, and found that close to 40 percent leave the state.

“This protest is about making democracy work,” said Joe Bellgowan of Lansing, senior field organizer for Clean Water Action.

At 300,000 strong, Clean Water Action is Michigan’s largest environmental non-profit organization.

Members of Clean Water Action joined the march to show solidarity with other environmental organizations protesting environmental policies in Michigan, specifically those which regulate hydraulic fracturing and pipeline oversight.

“This is a nonpartisan issue,” Bellgowan said. “Protecting our lakes and waterways isn’t the burden of one specific party. This issue is on both sides of he aisle.”

Standing amid a crowd of students, Bellgowan said protecting our “most precious resource” can no longer be treated as a question of republicans versus democrats.

“Our job as organizers is to hold the lawmakers accountable regardless of their party,” Bellgowan said.

Protesters marched up Michigan Avenue to the Capitol building chanting slogans to represent a multitude of social issues.

Leading the parade of ralliers was a group protesting police violence, chanting, “No justice, no peace. No racist police.” As the march neared the capitol the various chants and cries converged into a bellowing of, “Hey-ho, these s*****y laws have got to go.”

Michigan State Police officers were posted around the grounds of the capitol

building to maintain the peaceful nature of the protest. As students crossed the threshold of Capitol Street and entered the grounds, about 10 protesters with signs bearing the message, “black lives matter” began to chant, “F*** the police.”

Lt. Brody Boucher of the Michigan State Police, who was at the Capitol for the rally, said part of being an officer of the law is maintaining a thick skin.

“The Capitol Building is the peoples’ house,” Boucher said. “The police are not the arbiters of free speech, we are here to defend it.”

Overall, Roncelli said he was pleased with the results of the march.

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

After four consecutive years of service to Central Michigan University, the only thing Student Government Association Vice President Mariah Urueta regrets is spending too much time caught up in the minutia of the organization and not enough time focusing on legislation.

“It’s really funny how our current student government is parallel to our actual U.S. government,” Urueta said. “I wish I could (have) changed the structure of (SGA) to make it run smoother. If we wanted to make any (campus wide) changes it would cause a big stir—and what if it doesn’t work— so (members of SGA) would just stick to their old ways.”

Going from serving as a senator to a House Leader and then Vice President, Urueta knows much about the ‘old ways’ of SGA. Since joining her freshman year, Urueta has always been a force around campus, from president of CMU’s Take Back the Tap, a non-profit organization which advocates for banning the sale of bottled water on campus, to gaining a seat in the Senate in her second semester.

“We kept introducing (Take Back the Tap) and it would pass every time in the House but it would never in the Senate,” Urueta said. “So me and (about) eight other Take Back the Tap people ran for a Senate position and we got it and were able to pass our legislation.”

Her time spent as a senator would lead Urueta to meet SGA President Chuck Mahone.

“At the end of my sophomore year, Chuck was really pushing me to run for House Leader because he was running for Senate Leader,” Urueta said. “(It was) during my (time) as House Leader when Chuck asked me if I wanted to run with him for president and vice president.”

From there, the two would go on to run against Marie Reimers and Maggie Blackmer and win in the 2014 SGA Presidential Race.

Mahone, now running with Blackmer as his vice president for this year’s race, said after working with both women, no comparison

should be drawn between the two of them, other than the fact that they are both strong leaders.

“Comparing Mariah and Maggie is like comparing apples to oranges,” Mahone said. “They are two totally different people who bring two different things to the table.”

Although he said he is sad to see Urueta go, Mahone is confident Blackmer can deliver the same amount of excellence to CMU’s campus that was previously enforced by the former vice president.

“Any of my weaknesses, (Maggie) will cover up, and vice versa,” Mahone said.

Unlike Urueta, Blackmer’s SGA experience did not start in the Senate, but rather as the Parliamentarian, a position in the House which answers any questions the House Leader may have.

Moving from Parliamentarian to Executive Secretary in her freshman year, Blackmer was able to capitalize on her extensive knowledge of parliamentary procedure and quickly rise through the ranks of SGA. It was her knowledge, along with similar leadership styles, which lead Mahone to choose her as this year’s vice presidential candidate.

“It was actually two or three weeks before spring break that (Mahone) asked if I wanted to be his running mate, and without a doubt I said ‘yes,’” Blackmer said.

“After that we just delved right into what our plans (for running) would be.”

Though not as involved around campus with smaller groups as Urueta was, due to not serving as a Senator, Blackmer is a sister of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority. She said one of her many passions around campus includes giving back to the community.

“I am very passionate about our philanthropy,” Blackmer said.

“Within SGA I have had positions that don’t necessarily have projects to be working on, like when (I was) the Parliamentarian and Executive Secretary.”

Urueta has been meeting with Blackmer in order to prepare her for the job of vice president. Prior to the vice presidency, Blackemer says she has never received legacy notes for any of the positions she

has taken and has had to learn her position as it went, something she is proud of.

Running uncontested this semester, Mahone and Blackmer said they will take this election as seriously as if they did have opponents and wish to prove to the student body they will not take their position lightly. “(Chuck and I) have seven years of experience together that has really prepared us for the roles of president and vice president,” Blackmer said. “We have tangible items on our platform points that we can accomplish, and we know that we will accomplish.”

Final candidate interviews for CCFA dean interviews

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

After rescheduling his interview for his Communication and Fine Arts Dean twice, Steven Block told the search committee he’s the kind of person who will find a way around obstacles.

Block is one of three candidates who went through the interview process as a candidate. His previous interviews were rescheduled because of weather. Block became the Department of Music Chair at the University of New Mexico in 1999 and said he applied for other dean positions because he’s looking for a career change.

He said there would be a transition period and a new dean would have to gain trust before making major changes, but he wants to foster growth, raise funds and bring more money to the college.

When he became chair of the Department of Music at UNM, he inherited a $300,000 deficit.

A common complaint was the department did not have enough scholarship money, so he compiled their endowments which weren’t being used. Fixing the deficit involved the dean, provost and Vice President of Business and Finance, he said.

They came up with a system of fees that would allow the depart-

ment to get the funding from course fees. The department also developed online courses that bring in a stable amount of money each year. He said he also works on getting funds for the department in any other way he can.

Block said he did not ask the dean for money as the department chair and aims to be self-sufficient.

He also listed transparency as important.

“Unless the information is, for certain reasons confidential, whatever is being decided up here has to be brought down to the chairs and directors of the college as well.” he said. “I think that’s the most important role so that we’re all, in some ways, not just advocates for our particular interests, but we’re advocates for the whole university because we all depend on the success of the university itself.”

He said most students have many interests and backgrounds and the college has to be able to work with them. At UNM, the Department of Music had multidisciplinary programs that combined arts with medicine, business and digital media. “(Students) have all these things they want to do and that they’re excited about.,” Block said. “We have to be able to react to that. I think the more collaboration, the more interdisciplinary programs,

the better.”

He said he’s sympathetic towards individuals and involved in working with members of the academic college and university administrators.

“The faculty member speaks to the chair, the chair speaks to the dean, the dean speaks to the provost. Implied in that chain of command is that you work in the opposite way too,” Block said, stating that the dean shouldn’t override a process that’s in place.

“If you want to be respected and have things go through you as a dean, you have to respect the op-

posite,” he said.

The two other candidates, Janet Hethorn and Interim Dean Shelly Hinck, had their forums in February. Hethorn, director of the Delaware Design Institute at the University of Delaware, emphasized collaboration and communicating effectively with the people who have money to give to the college.

Shelly Hinck, interim dean of CCFA at CMU, said the college should focus on collaboration and technology. She said the college needs to consider and think creatively about other sources for funding.

I find your lack of empathy disturbing

EDITORIAL | Michigan legislature is neglecting college students

Nate Clark Staff Reporter

Give us a break C

Michigan students need incentives, like tax credits, to remain in the state

ollege students in the United States graduate with an average of $29,600 in debt, according to the Pew Research Center.

Now, think about the fact students at Central Michigan University graduate with almost $3,000 more in debt than the national average.

CMU’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid offers tools to help with managing student debt, but only state lawmakers can actually take steps to alleviate the financial burden placed on graduates. Michigan has largely ignored the issue, allowing student debt to climb exponentially over the last decade.

If lawmakers want graduates to plant their roots and help rebuild the state, they need to give us a reason to stay.

Michigan as a whole graduates students with more debt than the national average. The Bridge Magazine reported in the 2010-11 academic year, the debt of Michigan students was more than $3,200 higher than the national average.

As recently as 1993 — the year many current

students who will graduate in May were born — national student debt was an average of $12,400.

In the span of the current college student’s lifetime, that figure has more than doubled.

Financial Aid Services does offer limited resources to students so they do not have to muddle through debt on their own. At CMU, students are provided with financial aid counselors, an online debt calculator, several scholarship opportunities and a three-credit personal finance course, where they can learn how to manage their finances.

These resources are helpful, but they are not a solution and do not address the core problem.

They are band aids placed on the wounds of evergrowing and crippling student debt.

There have been some attempts in Michigan to directly address and alleviate the burden of debt for students. Rep. Andy Schore, D-Lansing and Sen. Curtis Hertel, Jr., D-East Lansing introduced versions of the same bill to the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives in January.

House Bill 4118 and Senate Bill 57 would grant income tax credits of up to 50 percent of payments made on loans by graduates who chose to live and work in Michigan. Graduates making qualified loan payments would be illegible for the credits for up to five years.

Tax credits for a single student could total up to $2,150.

The end of films in Michigan Michigan’s House of Representatives introduced a bill that would cut the $50 million tax incentive program for the film industry. If the bill is passed, the program will end Oct. 1.

This means no blockbuster film or major television show will be filmed, or produced, in Michigan.

This may not mean anything to you, but this ruling could literally force me out of Michigan, my home state.

For years, I’ve dreamed of working on films, whether it is in front of the screen or behind the scenes. I know that I will work on films, but I can no longer do that in Michigan.

No films in Michigan means there

I will admit, Michigan has its downfalls; harsh, cold winters that last longer than six months, and humid summers, but it is the only place I have ever called home. I thought I had a solid plan for living here for a few years to save up, but without the hopes of working on a major film, that plan seems to have vanished.

I love the media industry as a whole, but films have a special place in my heart. Going to the movies is one of the only forms of entertainment we have in Mount Pleasant.

The bills received initial support, with students from Michigan State University testifying in February in front of the Michigan Senate Finance Committee. Since then, there has been little progress and the bills have been scarcely publicized.

Versions of the bills were moved through the Michigan Senate and introduced in the House in the last legislative term. They were both stalled before the end of 2014, forcing the entire proposal process to restart this year.

Michiganders can look to other states to see that tax credits for students are not only possible, but beneficial for all. Maine has had an established tax credit program, called ​Opportunity Maine, enticing its graduates to remain in the state since 2008.

The Detroit Free Press reported that while 19,000 college-educated people aged 22-34 moved to Michigan in 2012, 28,000 people left.

If Michigan lawmakers want to retain their young, bachelors degree-holding residents, they need to take initiatives like the proposed tax credit seriously. Giving students tools to manage their debt while allowing its continued growth will only pacify them to a point.

Many Michigan students would stay and help rebuild the state, if given the chance.

Lawmakers, help us out.

you might have never known if you didn’t go and see that specific movie.

It’s truly remarkable what films can do to and for a person.

For the past few decades, there has been a steady decline in movie theater attendance. Even so, the film industry is making more money than it ever has. Imagine the state jobs that could have been created if only Michigan was given a chance to be a slice of Hollywood.

The reason more movies are being filmed and produced out of Hollywood is because it can be more convenient to go to the actual location rather than construct the buildings you need for that specific scene.

to other states, this creates more jobs for people who can’t or don’t want to move out of their home state. In Michigan alone, we have had the new “Batman vs. Superman” movie filmed in Detroit, “Real Steel,” which stars Hugh Jackman, “Transformers” (2007) and a few others.

I have had the opportunity to be cast as an extra on AMC’s “Low Winter Sun,” and it was the first time I was able to see the production that goes into making a TV show. I knew that I wanted to be in the chair of the TV director, but that would not be a possibility with the $50 million budget cut from the film industry in Michigan.

This may not seem like it will hurt Michigan, but it is cutting jobs.

Believe it or not, the film industry actually helped Michigan’s economy.

I love that films give us the opportunity to tell someone’s story and give people creative inspiration. This is a potentially tragic end to something that could have been spectacular.

The more I look at the world around me, the more distraught I get.

The sheer level of apathetic indifference toward people has been getting worse over the years and hardly anyone seems to notice.

Where this lack of empathy has been coming from recently has been rather bizarre, or least unexpected.

Friends, family, public leaders and notable celebrities who have been praised in the past for their charitable work have seemingly lost their ability to understand how people feel and what leads them to live their lives the way they do.

I’m not a normal student, I’m a relic from a time when trolls were only creatures that lived under a bridge, playing video games with a friend required being in the same room together and people were more likely to think before they said anything, because the person they were talking to was usually within punching distance.

I’m a student veteran who enlisted during the most turbulent time for the military since the Vietnam War, spending eight years exploring different cultures of the worlds and deploying twice in the process.

I learned a lot about humanity during my time in the service, but I learned more about the misconceptions and biases people hold over the military and other cultures.

Having been through countless events only a small portion of Americans have lived through, yet are seen daily in video games and movies, I can honestly say you don’t get it.

The random backlash over the film “American Sniper” alone tells me you don’t get it.

Out of every movie, television show and video game I have seen about the military and warfare, “American Sniper” is the closest film to get it completely right.

Perhaps some people chose to run their mouths about the film without even seeing it, which makes them worse: an uninformed rabble-rouser.

Perhaps the prevalence of shooter games flooding the market has made people forget that every shot fired is a potential death sentence for someone.

Or perhaps we’re just living up to our own status quo of saying we care about people without actually caring about anyone.

People hated the war in Iraq but had no problem reelecting the decision makers who sent me there.

Never forget that humans have no natural predators, so we created one: ourselves.

Before opening your mouth or putting words on a page about something or someone who bugs you, take a step back for second and try to imagine what it is truly like to be in the other person’s shoes.

Ecology students and faculty use laser technology to study fish species

By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is working closely with biology department faculty member Kevin Pangle and some of his ecology students to conduct research with otoliths in different fish species.

One of the more prevalent fish being researched is the steelhead fish, being studied in 40 different streams in the Lake Michigan Basin.

“This gives me more of a real world application for research,” said graduate student Nicole Watson, who is using the steelhead research for her thesis. “I can actually see how the fish species will be targeted better so it’s really good (working with the Michigan DNR).”

The graduate student said she is typically in the lab every day extracting and preparing otoliths—commonly known as “fish earbones” from steelhead

fish. After the otoliths are removed from the fish, dried, embedded in epoxy, cured overnight, sectioned, polished, prepared and cleaned, they are finally ready for laser ablation, or removing materials from the specimen with a laser.

Watson said she is fortunate enough to have student volunteers to assist her with each step of the process.

The laser ablation process takes place in the Central Michigan Research Corporation’s CART facility, in Mount Pleasant’s Smart Zone.

Otoliths are shot through their core with a laser to retrieve information about the origins of the fish and the chemical makeup of the streams it swam in.

“It’s like a diary with the fishes’ whole life history and it’s so subtle and minute, but we’re at the point in science that we can do all of this cutting-edge chemistry and figure it out,” Pangle said.

Pangle said the steelhead is a relevant fish to study in terms of research for the Michigan DNR because its importance in the recreational fishing industry.

“My goal is to protect our fish and their habitat,” Watson said. “I know that this work will benefit steelhead in the Great Lakes region, for both the management of the steelhead and their natal habitats.”

The research project has a projected duration of three years and is going into its second year. Watson helps students get into the lab to gain hands on experience as well.

Blanchard senior Francesca Angelique is performing the same kind of research as the steelhead project with the alligator gar fish—a large predatory fish from Texas rivers.

This work is almost entirely lab-based because the otoliths from the fish are shipped from Texas before she is able to work with them in the lab and

perform the laser ablation.

“Getting to help future scientists understand and manage fish populations is very rewarding and I am extremely

grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given,” said Angelique.

This project has been an amazing opportunity for starting my career in aquatic biology.

Putting in about 20 hours of labwork a week, Angelique mounts, sections, polishes and ablates the otoliths of the alligator gar.

Saxophone Day offers instruction, performances on Sunday

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

On Sunday, March 29, Professor of Saxophone John Nichol and the Central Michigan University Saxophone Studio will host Saxophone Day in the Staples Family Concert Hall.

Nichol said saxophonists can register online to perform in the event. They rehearse at 12 p.m. for the Michigan Saxophone Ensemble performance later that day at 5 p.m. in Staples Family Concert Hall.

“What we want to do is promote the saxophone in every way we can and this is one way to promote the saxophone in Michigan,” Nichol said.

This year’s guest artist, Associate Professor of Saxophone Chien-Kwan Lin, from the Eastman School of Music, will perform at 3 p.m. Eastman is a prestigious music conservatory located in Rochester, New York that only admits about 260 new students from a pool of 2,000 applicants.

It was named the “Hottest School for Music” in the U.S. in 2008.

The concert is $3 for students and seniors and $5 for the public. Tickets are available at Ticket Central at 989-774-3045 and at the door.

Lin will critique CMU students’ performances during the master classes on Sunday morning.

The Singapore native has appeared as soloist and guest artist with the United States Navy Band, the Eastman Wind Ensemble, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the Tanglewood Festival Orchestra, the New World Symphony, the Portland Symphony, as well as the philharmonic and chamber orchestras of Boston, Rochester, Sichuan and Thailand.

Nichol said he is excited to see his students learn from Lin and grow from the experience.

“It’s a very exciting time for us, the Saxophone Studio at CMU, and also for our guests that will come in,” Nichol said.

At 4:30 p.m., the CMU Saxophone Ensemble will perform in Staples Family Concert Hall. Nichol said students will benefit from playing music, hosting this event and entertaining guests.

At 5 p.m., the Michigan Saxophone Ensemble, composed of guest saxophonists, will perform.

“Our guests will perform with me conducting that concert,” Nichol said. “We’ve had as many as 150 saxophonists on stage during Saxophone Day.” Saxophone Day is held at CMU every two years and it began as an event to bring alumni back to campus. Nichol said he focuses on providing guests with concerts and master classes.

“We like to create music,” Nichol said. “And we like to create musical events. That’s the fun for us.”

Man of the Year Head basketball Coach Davis reflects on MAC Coach of the Year honor, 2014-15 season

DAVIS’ COACHING CAREER

What are some differences between when you when you were conference coach of the year in 2008 and now in 2015?

To get that honor as a coach, you have to have a lot of success.

You have to have the right team assembled. It helps to exceed expectations. We worked just as hard the past couple of years as a staff but it’s the culmination of those couple years. (Last season) I think we made a big step in the

right direction of this program.”

What individual improvements are you hoping for your team to make over the summer?

You’re looking at strength and conditioning. The offseason is where guys can really improve their conditioning, improve their athleticism, improve their strength. With the bulk of our team returning, individual improvement is going to be important. It’s not going to be a year

On March 17, Hudsonville junior Blake Hibbitts played in men’s basketball’s 89-79 National Invitation Tournament first round game. Seven days later, he was on the mound, starting for the baseball team against Michigan State.

“I feel fine physically,” Hibbitts said. “My whole life I’ve been playing multiple sports so this is nothing new to me.”

Hibbitts pitched 1.2 innings and gave up three runs and four hits in CMU’s 8-3 loss, but Baseball Head Coach Steve Jaksa said Hibbits Hibbitts was on a pitch count of 30, regardless of what was going on. He said he hopes Hibbitts throws 45 pitches in his next outing.

“Right now, it’s just about getting my arm in shape,” Hibbitts said. “Playing basketball definitely took some time away from that, so I’m trying to get my arm in shape to where I will be able to throw enough pitches to go deep.”

Hibbitts played his last basketball game of 2015 on March 10, which resulted in being away from baseball an extra week this season after men’s basketball qualified for postseason play.

“Now he gets into a regular baseball pattern,” Jaksa said.

“He’s going to lift like a pitcher should be lifting. He’s going to run like a pitcher should be running. He’s going to do his throwing program every day. He couldn’t do that when he was playing the other sport.”

Hibbitts, who is a junior on the basketball team but a sophomore on the baseball team, said he needs to put the emotions of the basketball season behind him.

“We lost in the tournament, so that kind of sucks, but you have to get your head right and get right back to work because they’re already midseason,” Hibbitts said.

“I can’t come in and still be down about how basketball ended, I’ve just got to work hard and try and help this team.”

Men’s basketball Head Coach Keno Davis said Hibbitts’work ethic and attitude are what makes him able to be a dualsport varsity athlete.

“It’s quite amazing,” Davis said.

“If anybody can handle that, it’s Blake Hibbitts. I look forward to following his baseball progress almost as much as I’ll follow his basketball progress.”

Baseball heads to MU for three-game series

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

FRIDAY'S STARTING PITCHERS

The last time the Chippewas and RedHawks faced off, a 4-3 loss to Miami University (Ohio) knocked the Central Michigan University baseball team out of the 2014 MidAmerican Conference Tournament.

CMU, 15-10, 2-1 MAC, kicks off a three-game series with the Redhawks, 4-16, 2-1 MAC, beginning at 2 p.m. Friday.

Head Coach Steve Jaksa said overlooking MU based on its record is the last thing his team will do.

“A team’s record doesn’t indicate what the team is,” Jaksa said.

“I’ve looked through their schedule series-by-series to see how they’ve played. If we based everything on records we would never win games.

I know Miami is a good team.”

Track and field teams head to Louisville to start outdoor season

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan University track and field teams return to the track at 3:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Lenny Lyles/ Clark Wood Invitational at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Ky. Mark Guthrie, director of track and field, said the teams are excited to get back into the swing of things after a month off.

Baseball | continued from 7 Honchel leads the team in batting average at .421 and has 32 hits this season. He has reached base in all 20 games this season for MU. Defensively, six pitchers have started at least one game for MU this year. Two pitchers have started six times including senior Ryan Powers, 2-4, 5.24 ERA and sophomore Jacob Banks, 1-4, 3.25 ERA.

Davis | continued from 7 in a position with the program to play in the postseason. When you continually do that, you’re going to have your share of success.

How does the non-conference scheduling work?

It is often one-year deals with programs, sometimes two-years. We’ll be going to Grand Canyon to return that game with Coach (Dan) Majerle on the two-year deal.

McNeese State (University) was a two-year deal with us going down there (this year) and them returning (to McGuirk Arena next year).

We thought our schedule this year was ideal for a young group that hadn’t had success to be able to experience some of that and play competition that we’d have a chance to come out victorious. We were able to do that and we were able to carry that momentum over to the conference.”

This season you said the goal was to play a lot of home games, but is playing top NCAA teams more of a priority for next year?

Guthrie said the offseason consisted of rigorous training, while time off was used to heal injuries and build stamina.

“We went back to the weight room,” Guthrie said.

“We went back to increased volume for the workload.

We gave them a week off (after the indoor season) and let them heal up a little bit. Now we’re getting back into turning them over a little bit and hoping we get some track meets in.”

The Chippewas return to

the oval after a disappointing finish at the MidAmerican Conference Indoor Mark Guthrie Championship last month. The men finished in last place, while the women placed eighth out of 12 teams.

Guthrie said his team will “turn the page” and look

forward to competing for seeds in the MAC Outdoor Championships May 14-16 at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind. “We’ll see where we’re at and we’ll build from there,” he said. “We have seven weeks until we are at the MAC meet.

We have seven opportunities to build on whatever happens this weekend.”

With the outdoor season comes several new events not on the indoor schedule, such as the javelin, discus and 4x100-meter relay.

“Most mistakes (during the outdoor season) are technical,” Guthrie said. “You try to fix some issues that you had indoors. It’s not as much

The Chippewas’ explosive offense will look to exploit some of MU’s pitching weaknesses coming into the weekend averaging 5.28 runs per game.

CMU has a lot of speed top to bottom in its lineup with a total of 43 steals this season on 51 attempts, a success rate of 84.3 percent.

Three Chippewas have 10 steals including junior right fielder Logan Regnier, senior center fielder Nick Regnier and senior second baseman Pat MacKenzie.

Sophomore pitcher Blake Hibbitts said based on how

MU played last season, he knows this weekend’s will be another challenging series.

“We played them on our home field last year and it was definitely a tough series,” Hibbitts said.

Logan Reniger leads the CMU offense including batting average, .333, hits with 30 and runs batted in with 19.

Reigning MAC West Player of the Week, senior catcher Tyler Huntey, is heating up at the plate after a cold start to the season.

Last weekend against Ohio, Huntey hit .500 and

finished with five hits in the three-game series.

Huntey said the reason for his improvement at the plate has been his ability to trust himself while being ready mentality for each at-bat.

“When you’re struggling, it’s hard to get out of that. I had to realize that I played well last year and I can play well this year,” Huntey said.

“I never gave up on myself and just kept swinging the bat. Last weekend things just turned around.”

The Chippewas are ready for their first sweep of the

We want to continue to build upon what we’ve done with the home-court schedule. The idea of playing tougher teams would be what we want to do, but because of our success, we’re going to have to play tougher teams. That’s going to take care of itself.

Does Chris Fowler have any NBA potential?

That’s a good question.

I think Chris could do just about anything he wants to do. If somebody told him he couldn’t do it, I think he’d find a way to do it. Whether a pro career is something he wants to pursue, whether it’s coaching—I know he’s talked about that—whether he follows his theatre major or anything else, I wouldn’t bet against him.

Can CMU ever make it to the level of strong midmajor teams like Wichita State, Butler University or Gonzaga University?

I don’t know. That’s something on the horizon.

If you’re consistently one of those top teams in your conference, then you look at what can you do to get to another level. To be able to do that, the financial support. You need a lot of other things. I hope we get to the point where we can talk

“The idea of playing tougher teams would be what we want to do, but because of our success, we’re going to have to play tougher teams.”

In addition to the Louisville meet this weekend, the Chippewas’ outdoor slate

includes meets at Indiana State University in April and at Ohio State University in May, as well as a threeteam meet in Kalamazoo between rival Western Michigan University and Purdue University.

“For those that had an event indoors, it’s just a new season,” Guthrie said.

“Everything starts over now. It’s the excitement of what can you build on.”

Softball opens MAC season against Miami

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

It has been nearly two weeks since Central Michigan University’s softball team played a game.

It has been even longer since the Chippewas have played with senior shortstop CarolAnn Sexauer in the lineup.

Head Coach Margo Jonker said Thursday Sexauer will miss the remainder of the season due to injury.

Sexauer played in only nine games this season, hitting .345 and posting slugging percentage of .448.

Meanwhile, CMU opens

the Mid-American Conference season as well as their first set of games at home.

The Chippewas’ doubleheader against Valparaiso University on Wednesday was cancelled due to inclement weather.

“We didn’t want that kind of time off. Now, we’ve had too much time off,” Jonker said. “We spent quite a bit of energy this week on potential games that may or may not be happening.”

Ball State University comes to Mount Pleasant at 2 p.m. Saturday before closing out the weekend at 1 p.m. Sunday.

As a team, CMU owns a collective batting average of .250 as they head into this weekend’s set of games.

The Chippewas did not face the RedHawks during a nonconference torunament earlier this season, but Jonker said CMU got a chance to see MU’s talent.

“They looked very solid,” Jonker said. “Last year we struggled with them. We had a really bad day out there at Oxford.”

Childress was Baldwin’s dual-threat quarterback for the past three seasons, throwing for 1,438 yards and 21 touchdowns while running for 924 yards and 17 touchdowns during his senior year.

He has five career receptions, four of which came his sophomore season, for 98 yards and a touchdown.

He also has 12 tackles, five interceptions and a pair of field goals (including a 43-yarder) and a pair of extra points.

On the basketball side, the shooting guard set a school record with 1,758 career points.

“I’m just excited and I feel blessed,” Childress told MLive.com. “It’s a humbling experience to see all my hard work over the last four years paying off.”

The 6-3 dual sport athlete received football offers from Miami (Ohio) and CMU. For basketball, Childress had received offers from a dozen schools, including Penn State, Boston College and West Virginia.

“I know that there’s athletes out there that talk about playing multiple sports and I think those things all work themselves out,” said men’s basketball Head Coach Keno Davis. “You let the recruiting and possibly players that

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

Baldwin high school senior Brandon Childress signed his letter of intent Feb. 4 to play football at Central Michigan University in the fall, but he hasn’t lost focus in his other athletic endeavors.

Childress was named Class D Player of the Year on The Associated Press all-state basketball team Wednesday after averaging 24.6 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game this season.

Baldwin was knocked out of the playoffs by Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart on March 16 in the regional semifinals.
