University works to address $10 million budget deficit

By Kate Carlson Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

Lower than expected enrollment for online classes and at satellite campuses has resulted in a $10 million budget deficit now facing Central Michigan University.

“We can determine we’re not going to reach what the actual budget was for main campus or (Global Campus),” said Joe Garrison, director of financial planning and budgets.

Colleges, service units, the finance team and the president’s cabinet hope to create a plan to offset the deficit during a budget forum at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 in the Charles V. Park Library auditorium. About 70 percent of the deficit is attributed to lower than expected Global Campus enrollment, and about under 30 percent

of the shortfall is related to main campus, Garrison said.

Barrie Wilkes, vice president for finance and administrative services, said in a university communications press release that given the budget shortfall, new initiatives this year will usually be funded by the reallocation of funds, as determined at the college or service unit level.

“There will most likely be some cuts done in some shape or form,” Garrison said.

Main campus enrollment was lower than projected, but only by 0.7 percent, said Robert Roe, executive director of Office of Institutional Research. OIR meets with deans of each college and studies trends to configure main campus enrollment projections that the budget is based off of.

“All of us, in every area of the university, need to think strategi-

cally about what CMU should be in five or 10 years. We need to figure out how we achieve that with diminishing resources,” Wilkes said in the press release.

The budget forum is organized by the Budget Priorities Committee, which was created three years ago by the Academic Senate and President George Ross. The event is open to the entire campus community.

The budget was approved by the Board of Trustees on June 28. It’s based on main campus enrollment projections conducted by OIR, projections of enrollment in online courses and satellite campuses configured by Global Campus, and state appropriation dollars. This year, state appropriations were $1.5 million less than expected. Tuition revenue will be almost $8 million below projections.

“This is a tough time for universities nationwide,” Wilkes said.

“Tomorrow’s leaders will start off financially strong, as CMU is.

They will focus on what students and employers need, as CMU does. And they will make bold decisions, as CMU will do in the coming months.”

Wilkes noted that tuition revenue continues to be impacted by Michigan’s declining high school population as well as by increasing competition in online degree programs.

Even though the university knows it must address the deficit, detailed information is still being gathered.

“We wanted to get in front of it,” Garrison said. “We’re still early in the process. But we encourage and want students to be (at the budget forum).”

Students not able to attend the forum can submit questions or ideas to the forum on the Budget

BUDGET FORUM WHAT: THE FORUM IS ORGANIZED BY THE BUDGET PRIORITIES COMMITEE SO FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS CAN ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET. WHEN: 3:30 P.M. OCT. 26 WHERE: CHARLES V. PARK LIBRARY AUDITORIUM THIS FORUM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Priority Commitee webpage. The forum also will be live streamed by the university.

During the budget forum, an academic dean will be talking about the responsibility centered management budget model CMU uses and how it has worked in the past, Garrison said. There will be time for audience questions.

Main shares plan for continuing term as county sheriff

By Jonathan Hogan Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Since he was young, Mike Main wanted to be in law enforcement.

This November, Main is running unopposed in this general election and is looking to be sworn in come January. He was appointed sheriff in February, after former sheriff Leo Mioduszewski resigned. Now he’s officially running for the position.

Serving in the public safety sector for about 28 years, Main worked with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe for 11 years and served as Police Chief in Shepherd for seven.

What do you feel you’ve brought to the Sheriff ’s Department and Isabella County, since February?

MAIN: When I started it was one of those things where I wanted to sit back and really watch for the first six months and not make drastic or big changes. The office is very busy. There’s been a lot of things to learn with the jail. We are now in the process of moving forward with some

new things. We’ve got our budget for the next year put together and we’ve got some needed equipment included in that budget.

Are you looking into updating the department in terms of technology?

We are researching things like body cameras.

Those are definitely a top priority. We have some concerns with Freedom of Information Acts, which becomes a huge issue with video.

There’s so much redaction that has to occur. Some things can’t be let out. Whether it’s recorded on audio or video, we have to spend time redacting it. Unfortunately, some agencies are getting requests to have 30 days worth of video. That’s hundreds of hours of manpower.

We’re working with the state and monitoring some House bills and things that will help eliminate some of that.

What are your plans going forward?

I think we’re going to look at a lot of the equipment needs. The biggest thing is to streamline what we’re doing to make sure the staff has everything they need. The second thing is to make sure that we are serving the public the way we should be. We’ve got some

great people on staff and they’re doing great things, but I really want to get out in the public.

We want to do some more presentations, more hand-to-hand type stuff with our community.

I think working with the schools and different organizations is a huge bonus. In the world today, that’s one of those things you really can’t overlook — having those connections with the community.

You mentioned one of your priorities is body cameras. Why do you feel body cameras are important?

Society as a whole has determined that if you don’t have a body camera, then everything seems to be questionable, which isn’t the case at all. And when we get a conduct complaint against a deputy or staff or something like that, when we have in-car video like we have now, it’s so interesting because we can show these people nine times out of 10, law enforcement is proven that yeah, they did the right and were doing the right thing.

It’s just another tool to help the community build that trust, that we are doing what we’re supposed to be doing.

John Hogan | Staff Reporter Michael Main poses in his office on Feb. 16 in Shepherd, Michigan.

If there is an issue where it’s the other way, then we have some training opportunities and say ‘hey this wasn’t the way we want to do business,’ and we can review those videos and those audios and we can talk and we can train.

Biology major adds five new courses to core curriculum

By Sarah Wolpoff Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The fall 2016 semester saw a complete change in course material for incoming freshmen biology students. The biology department restructured the major and curriculum, adding five new foundational classes mandatory for all majors.

Steven Gorsich, a biology professor and chair of the curriculum design committee, said the changes are critical. The major will now focus on the integration of sciences. This encourages students to think of concepts on a larger scale, linking them to other areas in biology and science, Gorsich said.

Concepts will be discussed in the context of diversity of life and evolution, Gorsich explained.

“We really felt we needed to build the first courses of the curriculum around this foundation,” he said.

“That’s what biology is, and we’ll continue to build upon on that foundation throughout the curriculum.”

Biology chairperson Tracy Galarowicz said diversity and evolution were previously taught as a part of the introduction to biology course, but the new course will provide greater context for students.

Midland sophomore Nicolette Konze said she thinks evolution is a critical topic in biology, and is important for the focus to be mandatory.

The five new core classes — Foundations of Evolution and Diversity, Foundations of Cell Biology, Foundations of Genetics, Foundations of Ecology and Foundations of Form and Function — will be taken in the same sequenced order by all biology students.

In the old curriculum, Galarowicz said, biology students took different courses. While there was some overlap, it was not the same foundational material.

The courses can build off each other, as students are taking the same foundational courses, she said. It will be beneficial for both student comprehension and faculty.

Gorsich said instructors will be able to make the education process more streamlined because they will know what students have already been taught.

Galarowicz said she hopes that by taking classes in a sequenced order, biology students will develop a strong cohort ­— a sense of being in it together.

After students take all the foundation courses in their first two years, they will move on to more upperlevel classes more specific to their concentration.

Gorsich said the department recommends students to wait until the end of sophomore year to sign a major. That way, after foundational courses have been completed, they will have a wide perspective on biology before choosing their track.

“I feel like it (foundation courses) will be helpful in figuring out your concentration,” Konze said. “I know I’m not really sure yet. I know I like plants and bacteria, but I have no idea how to specialize.”

An article titled “Vision and Change,” published by the National Science Foundation, motivated many of the curriculum changes, Gorsich said. The article emphasized teaching biology student’s competencies, integrating sciences and the social impact of science.

He said the document had a lot of credibility because the article was put together by people who study science education.

Two city commission seats open for Nov. 8 election, three running

By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

Two Mount Pleasant City Commission seats are up for grabs Nov. 8, and one of those seats could be filled by a CMU student.

Mount Pleasant Mayor Kathy Ling, city commissioner Tony Kulick and Central Michigan University senior Will Joseph will be on the ballot. Kulick and Ling are seeking reelection.

Ling, a retired teacher, has served as a city commissioner for nine years. Serving as vice-mayor in 2012, she became mayor in 2013 and then again in 2016. She has also served on the Planning Commission and Board of Review.

Kulick is a retired city planner. A resident of Mount Pleasant since 1988, Kulick spent 20 years as a city planner in Mount Pleasant and Flint. He also has served as a Mount Pleasant City Commissioner since 2013.

As a part-time student at CMU, Joseph has worked with the Student Government Association for four years. He was also appointed to the Academic Senate for two years and has served on the Libraries and Police Oversight Committees at CMU. Outside of CMU, Joseph has participated in the Citizens Academy, a way for residents of the community to become more informed on city government. He also serves on the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission.

LGBTQ culture at CMU makes for a more vibrant community At Central Michigan University, respect is one of the many keys to our collective success.

Respecting people from all occupations, religions, nationalities, sexual preference and gender is what makes campus life at CMU a vibrant experience.

In this edition of Central Michigan Life, we celebrate the university’s LGBTQ community. Their culture is our culture.

October is LGBTQ History Month. It’s a time to reflect on the struggles of the gay, lesbian, trans and bisexual people who have fought for ac-

ceptance and equal rights.

Today, we say thank you.

Thank you for coming out and sharing your experiences.

You are a beacon of hope for those who might be confused, stuck or frightened to show their friends, families and coworkers who they are.

To those still in the closet -your sexuality is valid. You’re important members of the LGBTQ community.

We also recognize people with different gender classifications – Americans who have earned the right in this country to call themselves whatever

they please.

He, she, they – each person deserves the dignity to live and work and love without scorn or reprisal. It is a central principle of our society, hinging on the doctrines of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the right of legal marriage for LGBTQ people. It was a landmark for all of us living in a civil society.

Still, there are some factions who wish to reverse the advances of LGBTQ activists working toward a better way of life.

Some states have passed or attempted to pass religious freedom laws that specifically target LGBTQ consumers.

They permit businesses with religious objections to being gay, lesbian or trans to block LGBTQ folk from access to basic goods and services.

Bathroom laws targeting trans people in various stages of transitioning do the same.

They conjure up the specter of discrimination laws in the Jim Crow-era south, when black men and women endured beatings and dog bites for sitting at a lunch counter.

We must never allow our country to scroll backwards into the darkest chapters of American history. We call on every state – including Michigan – to halt further attempts at passing new versions of the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or the North Carolina Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act. These laws are not just anti-LGBTQ – they are antiAmerican.

Most importantly, they prevent LGBTQ citizens from contributing their talents and ingenuity at a time when we

EDITORIAL

need them most.

Placing limits on people different than ourselves runs counter to the tenets of our hard-fought democracy.

No matter what you choose to call yourself. No matter who you choose to love.

Our Founding Fathers built America for all those who love freedom.

If you’re a member of the LGBTQ community, that includes you, too.

Low salaries leave our teachers, their families struggling Sitting on the floor of Mrs. Sanderson’s first-grade classroom, two six-year-old girls argued over who could sit on my lap as I read them “Junie B. Jones” during indoor recess.

It was September 2014 at an elementary school in St. Clair County. I was in between classes at the community college in town, visiting my mother and helping her while she was frantically grading papers. My mother looked up every so often to remind her students to use their “inside voices.”

I spent that year acting as her teacher’s assistant. I witnessed the dedication she put into her

lesson plans, staff meetings, report cards and the well-being of nearly 30 children. Despite her hard work, my mother continues to face financial hardships.

The Economic Policy Institute reported in August 2016 that the gap between teachers’ salaries and salaries of comparable public workers is growing wider.

The EPI refers to this gap as the “teacher pay penalty.”

It was her first year in a new building after leaving another school where she taught fifth grade for 12 years. The school closed down because of the district’s declining population. It was the furthest boundary school, so the district lines were redrawn, and many families chose to send their children elsewhere.

The result was my mom’s first pay cut.

My mom has taken four more pay cuts since then, subtracting roughly $20,000 from her annual income. She had to take on a second job tutoring three times a week just to help pay for my

books, or for gas money to drive my brother to baseball practice.

It’s wrong to expect teachers to provide valuable educations to young people when a majority of them have to find work outside of the classroom just to make ends meet.

In 2015, the weekly wages of public school teachers in the U.S. were 17 percent lower than comparable college-educated professionals. This number has grown substantially since 1994, when teachers were looking at a 1.8 percent decrease in wages.

I know people don’t go into teaching to get rich, but this penalty doesn’t just hurt educa-

tors — it can create long-term economic harm for the education sector as a whole.

Lawmakers have made massive cuts to public schools and teacher salaries in attempts to balance budgets in the wake of the Great Recession. Inflation over the past decade has outpaced teachers’ salaries in many states across the country, according to the National Education Association.

These cuts have not only affected my family financially, but have completely disregarded the daily efforts and progress my mom makes with her students.

Lawmakers must see the

value of educators and must stop deep cuts to education. If they expect teachers to take pay cuts, they must provide more assistance through benefits or grants for things like school supplies — purchases teachers usually make out of their own pockets.

My mom shaped my life. She has also impacted nearly 800 young people who sat in her classrooms over two decades.

Teachers take on an important role caring for and educating other people’s children. Let’s make it easier for them to take care of themselves and their own families, as well.

TECH THURSDAY

Google turns a new page in tech history with Pixel, AI products Google announced its lineup of five new consumer products on Oct. 4, and the drop is going to change the personal electronics market in a big way.

The search engine giant used their conference earlier this month to lay out guidelines for the next phase of the technology war. The main concept Google plans to push is “machine learning” in their Artificial Intelligence assistant. This means Google’s assistant built into Android platforms can learn from what we say, and over time, can improve on its answers as more questions are asked.

for some time, especially when it comes to competing with the iPhone. The 2016 Google announcement has finally changed my mind.

Android and IOS now share a lot of similarities, even while retaining the differences that split consumer loyalties. One still allows for better customization, while another sticks to sleek and simple application.

If you put an Android 7.0 device in front of an iPhone user, you’d be surprised at how fast they can adapt to the new software platform. Nougat designers made great strides to make it

instinctive, and I think they’ve done an excellent job here.

The partnership with Verizon is Google’s first venture with a partner company for distribution. Google notoriously has only sold its hardware on its website.

CMU Health Clinic treatment fights infant mortality rate

By Greg Horner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Infant Mortality Rates

{

Almost seven out of every 1,000 infants born in Michigan die within a year — a figure that exceeds the national average of 6.1.

In Michigan, To combat that high infant mortality rate, physicians at Central Michigan Health are changing their approach to prenatal care.

The facility, located in Saginaw, has partnered with the Centering In the United States, Healthcare Institute and Michigan Health Improvement Alliance, Inc. to provide a group model of care for expecting mothers.

Dr. Erica Canales and Nurse Source: Center for Disease Control, date from 2014 Midwife Marilyn Filter, both in the Infographic by Annah Horak Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, worked to bring the Centering Pregnancy “Part of the success is having the women encourage program to Saginaw County — where 21 babies died each other. Compliance with care increases because within their first year in 2014. the women are empowering each other.”

“I’ve championed this for 10 years,” Filter said.

pecting mothers have 10 short one-on-one appointments, Filter said. The Centering Pregnancy program also has a group of expecting mothers at similar stages of their pregnancy who meet together with physicians in 10 sessions for 90 minutes.

By meeting with physicians in a group, mothers receive roughly 20 hours of treatment compared to the traditional two. Twelve other hospitals in the state have already adopted the method.

“The driving force behind the questions and the discussion is not the provider telling mothers what to do — it’s the women themselves,” Canales said.

Groups comprise mothers with a variety of backgrounds such as patients who already have children, first-time mothers and young women.

“You get what they call the wisdom of the group, so between all of (the mothers),” Canales said. “Often times they are able to answer their own questions.”

The leading cause of infant death is pre-term birth.

program have seen pre-term birthrates drop by 33 percent, Canales said.

“Our pre-term birthrate hasn’t dramatically changed in four decades despite many different medical interventions designed to reduce that risk,” Canales said. “With more time spent with providers and the support of the group, it has been indirectly shown, at least in some very large randomized trials, the pre-term birthrate is reduced.”

Taking care of a premature baby is not just an emotional burden for parents but a financial one, said Fields. The annual cost of treating pre-term birth is $26 billion, according to the U.S. Institute of Medicine.

“We want to save babies — that is the overall goal,” Filter said. “But in achieving that ultimate goal of saving life, we’re looking at significant cost savings to the community, insurance companies and families.”

The first group of patients is expected to meet in the middle of November. Canales hopes that students from the College of Medicine will be able to participate in the new method at some point in the future.

“We certainly hope as we collect data and observe the impact we’ll be able to get students involved,” she said.

Canales believes that Centering care provides a psychosomatic benefit to patient health, and could be responsible for the program’s improved results.

“We’ve known for a long time there’s a mind body connection. Pregnancy is not different from any other health condition in terms of our state of mind and its effect on our health,” she said. “There isn’t really any other explanation. We’re not giving medication differently. We’re just providing education, time and community.

“I think if you can give care in a way that gives you something to look forward to every week, even more than your usual clinic environment, that’s a real win.”

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

SEXUAL HEALTH REPORT CARD GRADES CMU NINE SPOTS LOWER THAN LAST YEAR Compared to 140 universities in the United States, Central Michigan University ranked nine spots lower than last year — at 107, according to the annual Trojan Brands Sexual Health Report Card ranked.

Schools were ranked in 11 categories, including availability of contraceptives, HIV/ STI testing and sexual health resources on campus. An independent research firm, Sperling’s BestPlaces, analyzed

sexual health of the universities.

Schools included on the report were based on football conferences; SEC, PAC-12, the Big Ten, the Big 12 and Ivy League schools. The 2016 evaluation ranked University of Georgia as the leader in sexual health. Brigham Young University ranked last on the list.

Since starting the sexual health report card and studying college campuses 11

years ago, the study shows improvement in the amount of sexual health resources and information available to students, according to Trojan.

Information was collected from university student health center representatives and follow-up secondary research on the centers and services they provide on campus.

Ellyot Gryczewski, a transgender student, is spending his last year at Central Michigan University transitioning from a female to a male

By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

llyot Gryczewski sits in his kitchen, watching as a syringe slowly fills with testosterone. He asks what video he should watch to distract him from the sting of the injection. He selects “Make a Man Out of You” from Disney’s “Mulan” for irony. The needle positions against his upper arm.

He takes a Snapchat of his fiancee, Karlie Penn, who is filling the needle, and adds the caption “she’s the best” over the photo.

“Are you ready?” Penn asks.

He pauses and then nods. Penn presses the plunger of the syringe down and its contents empty slowly into his arm.

October is Ellyot Gryczewski’s tenth month on testosterone. The Perrysburg, Ohio senior is spending this last year at Central Michigan University transitioning from a female to male.

As a transgender person, his sex assigned to him at birth was female; his anatomy and hormones. However, it doesn’t match his gender — his inner sense of man or woman.

“You grow up being told you should be one way, only to realize you’re actually the other way.

You should have been the other way the whole time,” Gryczewski said. “Saying ‘being a man stuck in a woman’s body’ isn’t really fitting. But there’s not a little man in my head yelling(all the time.) I just wish society

wasn’t so strict on a gender binary system.”

Gryczewski began experiencing gender confusion in junior high school. His mother made him change into more feminine clothing after she found out he was playing baseball. Girls “shouldn’t wear baseball hats,” she said.

When Gryczewski returned to the field the next week in his new uniform, his boy teammates withdrew. They told him they didn’t play with girls.

“I always tended to have guy friends, but they always treated me like a girl,” Gryczewski said.

“I never got the bonding experience with friends like guys have. It put me in the middle somewhere. The guys didn’t fully accept me and I didn’t fit in with the girls.”

When he was little, Gryczewski knew he was attracted to women. After noticing an attractiveness, Gryczewski would shake his head and decide to “deal with it later.”

Yet the attraction wouldn’t be suppressed for long. He came out as bisexual in junior high school. The sexuality made sense at the time, but Gryczewski said the identity never felt right to him.

He came out as a lesbian his junior year of high school.

The summer after he graduated from high school, Gryczewski came out to his mother as

a lesbian. There was an initial “blowout” between the two, but in the end she accepted him.

During his sophomore year of college, he attended therapy sessions for a psychology class project and realized it was his gender identity that didn’t fit.

“Putting it together, I said I think I’m transgender,” he said, recalling wanting to wear ties and have short hair as a child.

“(A transgender friend from high school and I) started to compare our stories. They lined up a lot.”

Gryczewski’s therapist referred him to another professional who specializes in counseling transgender youth.

The new therapist used a book titled “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition.” She began list-

ing the characteristics to be diagnosed with Gender Identity Dysmorphic Disorder.

Gryczewski matched with each characteristics.

“When I went home for Thanksgiving, I ended up telling my mom,” he said. “I waited for another huge (fight) — but she just said ok, I love you anyway. Five minutes later, she was joking with me about it. It

was actually really nice to get it off my chest.”

MODERN FAMILY Five months into dating his fiancee, Penn, Gryczewski came out as transgender. When he said he told her, she said “it was about time he figured that out.”

It was an answer he said he should have expected. The two met in an archery class a year

earlier after Gryczewski read Penn’s sign language conversation between a friend. Penn, who is deaf, was calling him cute. He approached her after class and they quickly became close.

After months of being friends, he suggested they should date. “Took you long enough, she responded.

The two are now engaged.

Together they are raising Penn’s daughter Ryan, who is also deaf. The extreme unconventionality of their family is “always full of shenanigans” and makes them unique.

“It’s really interesting trying

to tell people we have a kid together. Having them ask how we had a kid together if I’m transgender,” Gryczewski said. “(Ryan is) not biologically mine, but I’m raising her. Just adding them being deaf on top of it just makes things really loud.”

TAKING SHOTS Penn immediately became Gryczewski’s main support system through his transition.

It’s been a difficult journey to self-realization.

His shots were biweekly in the beginning of his transition.

The first two weeks on hor-

mones felt like waking up “after a night out drinking,” he said.

After his shots, he’d initially feel great before, on particularly bad days, he’d find himself on the bathroom floor, sobbing for no reason. The severe emotions eventually balanced out when he switched to weekly shots of half the dosage, but he said he’s still easily irritated.

“I’d get so angry randomly,” Gryczewski said. “(Penn and I) would fight about literally everything.”

Gryczewski may require the weekly shots for the rest of his life, despite the severe lack of

certified local or state doctors.

One of his original doctor vacationed to Switzerland without notifying him. A few weeks later, the doctor he transferred to closed their practice.

The doctors were two of twelve transition-certified physicians in Michigan. To get his levels checked, his next closest options are in Lansing and Grand Rapids.

Dosages and testosterone levels aren’t something to toy with — Penn said each time the dosage amount increases, Gryczewski risks his body going “haywire” and replicating a

“On testosterone, I can still get pregnant, but the chances are lowered because the lining doesn’t repair. That makes

my chances of uterine cancer skyrocket,” Gryczewski said. “If w START | 12

my levels aren’t where they need to be, my body can (be badly messed up). But most doctors don’t seem to care.”

Physical changes aren’t permanent after years of hormone injections, meaning he risks the changes reversing if he stops his injections, and the costs add up. Doctor and counseling appointments typically cost between $150 and $300. Hormones costs $100 a bottle and typically lasts four months.

Top surgery to remove his breast tissue would cost more than $8,000. Before he receives the desired surgery, he sometimes wears a binder to flatten his chest. Binders typically cost $100 for a “decent one.” “(Top surgery will allow me to) to feel more comfortable in restrooms and public,” Gryczewski said.

“I’ll be able to finally walk around without a shirt on and locker rooms won’t be a huge source of anxiety.”

THE WAIT, COSTS AND HEALING OF THE TRANSITION Throughout the transition, Gryczewski hasn’t just struggled with being jealous of cisgendered men, but other transmen. He finds himself counting the weeks he’s been on testosterone and feeling frustration when he notices his voice hasn’t dropped as low as friends who are also taking hormones.

Physical attributes like facial hair, larger feet and a lower, more typically masculine voice make the weekly shots worth it. It’s a physical transformation he looks forward to.

“There’s a lot of things you want to happen right away that biology won’t allow to happen quickly,” Gryczewski said. “It would be nice to realize I’m transgender, (immediately begin) hormone therapy and two days later have a glorious man-beard.”

In the last 10 months on testosterone, he’s grown an inch, his jawline has become more defined and

his menstrual cycle has stopped. The changes came with consequence though — not only do the shots sting, but he has experienced growing pains and “more acne than a first round of puberty.”

Since he began physically passing as a man, he said he receives more head nods from other men who pass by him. People are more prone to listen to him in group settings, he said. He also finds he

is now less likely to change his opinion in debates.

“I decided I was going to do something for myself — to take control of my life and improve my mental health,” he said. “I am more confident, comfortable and less self-destructive.”

Before his transition, Gryczewski said he struggled with self-harm throughout high school and a majority of college.

His transition is a form of recovery. He said he doesn’t feel like he’s lying to himself anymore.

“I don’t have this huge weight on my mind anymore. I appreciate my body more,” Gryczewski said. “(Transgender people) are just people.

We aren’t asking for special treatment. We aren’t trying to make a statement. We are trying to blend in and create as little issue as possible.”

Professor’s life a struggle between gay, religious man

By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

When Terry McGlasson was 37 years old, the Evangelical Christian minister chose to come out as a gay man instead of committing suicide.

The Central Michigan University associate professor in counselor education was suffering from severe depression and anxiety, which he directly correlates with his sexuality.

Despite his struggle being a Christian gay man, McGlasson said religion can’t be painted with a broad brush. He’s noticed an intolerance of religion in the queer community, specifically toward those in the community also identifying as religious.

Religious LGBTQ youth are often viewed as sell outs, he said, and asked how they can associate themselves with something that oppresses them.

This borderline hypocritical intolerance is why he said he feels “he doesn’t have a role anywhere.”

“I want young queer folks to not shy away from exploring spirituality and faith. I’m afraid they tend to be less religiously inclined,” McGlasson said. “If we have a new queer generation that doesn’t even consider (religion), many will miss out. That’ll be a sad legacy of the intolerance I had to live through.”

He became heavily involved in church as a child in an attempt to “deny the gay part of who he was.”

Years later McGlasson found himself at 470 pounds and struggling with suicidal thoughts.

“Psychologically, you can’t split yourself like that for three decades and not pay a price for it,” he said.

“It got to the point where something had to give or I wouldn’t be here today.”

McGlasson began to come out after three decades in the closet. The first person he told was his therapist.

Those he came out to told him he sounded like he was confessing to a sin and begging them for forgiveness.

“The last 11 years (being out of the closet) didn’t

play out like I thought I would. I feel like I lost the first half of my life trying to hide and feared this God who would condemn me,” McGlasson said “There were some beautiful moments that made me not doubt it was the right thing to do. If I was given a choice, I’d be straight. Things may be changing, but it’s still too hard.”

McGlasson was a minister for 15 years. When he left the church, he told the congregation it was to pursue his Ph.D. program in counseling. He said the choice to leave was to ensure he wouldn’t be kicked out — or “defrocked” — if they found out he was gay.

“The churches I ministered in had good people, but they were blinded by their own dogmas,” McGlasson said. “They thought holding LGBTQ feet to the fire was an act of tough love to get back on track.

They wouldn’t have seen it as bigoted or intolerant.”

Only a handful of the congregation discovered his sexuality. A few didn’t mind. Others never spoke to him again, including mentees and close friends.

However, he said this didn’t make them bad people.

“There are many faith traditions that would be abhorrent to treat someone with disrespect like that.

Many wouldn’t care if you’re gay, but would embrace how God made you that way. I just wasn’t raised in those conditions,” he said. “I wonder what it would have been like to be raised in another church that would have been welcoming. My whole life would have been different. I would probably still be a minister today, and that makes me sad.”

One form of healing was doing his doctoral research on the intersection of queerness and religion. Many of the gay men McGlasson interviewed strongly refused to be put in the position to choose between their sexuality and spirituality.

McGlasson said he was both happy and jealous of those who demanded they were gay Christians and others could not define God for them.

“Very little has remained the same. (Churches and religion have) become more polarized, but the overall movement has become more tolerant,”

A Pew Research Center survey revealed a majority of Americans approve of same-sex marriage.

McGlasson said he met a student who is living with his same-sex partner on campus, and had said his parents were happy for him. Part of him was

happy. Part of him wanted to cry because he will never experience that himself.

“I’ve seen amazing moments like that. I was able to officiate a same-sex marriage between an old student and her partner this summer,” he said. “I can’t even say how healing it was.”

Art professor adds LGBTQ+ perspective to vintage photos

By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

Growing up queer in the 90s, Kris Sanford didn’t have role models to look up to, or a relationship to mirror her own after — so she decided to create one.

The Central Michigan University art professor found a collection of old snapshots of parties her grandmother hosted in the 50s. One features a mock wedding with her grandmother, the bride, and a woman next to her dressed as her sailor husband. It was meant to be playful, but Sanford looked at it differently.

Sanford grew up in a world with little queer visibility and works with a timeline that had none. Now she works to help address LGBTQ issues still present in the world, she said, such as transgender rights, adoption rights and workplace discrimination.

She said she hopes to be part of that process by helping people question their assumptions surrounding sexual identity.

“I hope it makes you question how you look at photographs. I’m trying to raise more questions

than answer,” Sanford said. “There can be people who see queer images and think the visibility is too much. But if you flip that coin as a queer person growing up, all the images you’re fed to consume are heterosexual. You’re assumed to be heterosexual. So to me, it’s not too much at all.”

Sanford began to create her own history. She’d take an old snapshot featuring two people displaying affection and intentionally crop it so faces aren’t shown. This left the images looking like same-sex relationships through the intimate gestures.

“I look for physical contact — not just any physical contact, but ones with intimacy., Sanford said.

“There’s a balance in the composition I can create from as well. I want them to be visually engaging.

It’s about these intimate and delicate gestures that balance with a striking composition.”

Her photos depict women gently holding hands under their seats and men with their arms interlocked, with the only part of their face showing is their grin.

She said she’s “very intentional” about cropping faces out of photographs because the project is about transforming the people into fictional characters.

“I like the black and white look— I feel like colors wouldn’t be as powerful,” she said. “It doesn’t align perfectly with the time before gay visibility and gay rights. That would push it more into the 70s. The aesthetic suggests nostalgia. It speaks to the nature of being in the closet. I hope it helps views think about the change in visibility since then.”

In the beginning of the project, Sanford found photos by sifting through antique shops photo bins.

Now a decade into the project, her primary source is eBay. Despite the delicate intimacy found within the photos, Sanford said it’s likely none of them contain actual queer people. The photos contain an imagined history because it was rare to be openly gay at the time, “it’s impossible to know.”

“I’m not suggesting the people are gay or lesbian.

That’s why their identities aren’t included in the pictures,” she said. “They come to represent all the people not photographed with their lover or partner. But people can misunderstand that.”

Only in rare moments does she add detailed titles to photos — she prefers to keep the titles vague, allowing the photo to speak for itself.

Outside hitters use focus, power to lead volleyball

By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Each of the Central Michigan volleyball team’s top four outside hitters can launch a volleyball between 50-70 miles per hour on average. That makes them an imposing matchup for opponents.

In volleyball, outside hitters are the top scoring options on the court. In many cases they are a setter’s go-to hitter, and are often the players called upon to record the most kills.

CMU’s outside hitters are juniors Jordan Bueter, Jessica Meichtry, Taylor Robertson and sophomore Laura Wilson.

Over the past 20 matches, the unit has assisted in giving the Chippewas the sixth best hitting percentage in the Mid-American Conference — .204 with 12.49 kills per set.

Meichtry, a redshirt junior outside hitter, said she attributes the group’s success to staying disciplined and focused.

“For us, its just focusing on the basics,” Meichtry

said. “When we get a good first ball and have everyone in system, it really stresses out the other side, and I think that really helps us terminate on the outside.”

While recording kills would seem like the primary objective of outside hitters, offense isn’t the only responsibility in the position’s job description. Outside hitters also contribute defensively, where they are expected to block incoming attacks from the opposing team.

Head volleyball coach Mike Gawlik believes his outside hitters are progressing and doing well limiting unforced errors.

“We’re managing our errors,” Gawlik said. “When we make teams have to earn twenty plus points against us without us giving away too many freebies, we’re finding that we’re a tough team to beat.”

Here is a look at the rest of CMU’s most successful positional group through the first three quarters of the season.

JUNIOR JORDAN BUETER Since joining the team in 2014, the 6-foot Indiana native has been a key player for the Chippewas.

Bueter has accumulated a team high of 223 kills. Bueter also leads the Mid-American Conference with 32 aces on the season.

“A lot of good players are so focused on doing other people’s jobs,” Bueter said. “Something important for our team is we each focus on doing our job and doing our job well. When we come together as a team, that’s what makes us so unstoppable at times.”

Bueter’s job also extends outside of offense. On the defensive side, Bueter has recorded 200 digs, second on the team behind freshman defensive specialist Megan Kern.

JUNIOR JESSICA MEICHTRY After signing with CMU, Meichtry redshirted her first year in 2013. Since then, the 6 foot Wisconsin native was selected to the 2015 Academic All-MAC Team. She recorded 256 kills in 2015 and has 45 so far this season.

“We’re just focused on working hard for every single ball,” Meichtry said. “We really learned the value of a point or a couple points, and that’s really what we want to stress in our gym,

the value of one ball.”

SOPHOMORE LAURA WILLSON Willson, the youngest of the four players, joined the team in 2015. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch, the native of North Branch appeared in 18 matches her freshman year, recording 10 aces.

Wilson has had much more of an impact on the 2016 season, with the third most kills on the team at 137.

JUNIOR TAYLOR ROBERTSON Alongside Meichtry, Robertson also redshirted her true-freshman year in 2013. In 2016, Robertson has recorded 160 kills, second only to Bueter.

The 6 foot 1 inch native of Midland also ranks third on the team in blocks with 30 on the season.

For Robertson, pregame ritual music listening is a must. Her choice of music surprised the rest of the girls.

“I have to listen to heavy metal in my headphones,” Robertson said.

Skillet is her favorite metal artist.

Bonamego: UT game a must win to stay in MAC West race

By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Saturday’s matchup between Central Michigan and Toledo will likely decide whether the Chippewas will play for a MidAmerican Conference Championship or bowl eligibility at the end of the season.

Nobody knows that better than head coach John Bonamego.

“The likelihood of winning the (MAC) West (with two losses) is not very high,” Bonamego said. “That’s the hard facts. We’re at the stage in our season where you’re in a one-game elimination tournament for representing the West at Ford Field in the MAC Championship Game.”

CMU hasn’t played in a MAC title game since a 20-10 victory against Ohio in 2009. Although two MAC West losses doesn’t eliminate the Chippewas from the race, Northern Illinois is the only team in the last 10 seasons to play for the conference championship with two MAC West losses.

Toledo (5-1, 2-0 MAC) sits one game behind No. 20 Western Michigan in the MAC West Division. “(Toledo is) a well-built football team. They look and play the way a Division I team is supposed to,” Bonamego said.

“When guys graduate, they just

seem to plug somebody else in there that’s as good.”

The Rockets have one of the best offenses in the nation, leading the conference in total offense, passing yards and passing touchdowns. Junior quarterback Logan Woodside ranks 12th in the NCAA with 2,013 passing yards at a 71.3 percent completion rate, good for fifth in the country in the category. “(Woodside) is one of the best quarterbacks we’ve seen,” said defensive coordinator Greg Colby. “They’re going to get their yards, but we’ve got to limit the big plays and stay on top of the ball to make sure they don’t break it out.”

Toledo runs the ball effectively, averaging more than 219 yards per game in an attack led by senior running back Kareem Hunt and junior Terry Swanson.

The pair averages 4.9 and five yards per carry, respectively.

“We’ve got to do a great job tackling and getting people at the point of attack to get those running backs down,” Colby said. “It’s going to be a challenge tackling them because they are physical. If they get us out in the open field, they might have the advantage.

The Rockets’ defense has held opponents to 21 points and 331 yards per game in 2016.

“Their front seven on defense plays physical. They’ve got a tackle that I think is going to

be an NFL player,” Bonamego said. “They are a sound team that’s well coached with talented players.”

CMU’s offense ranks second in the MAC with nearly 300 yards passing per game, but will face a tough test in Toledo’s secondary, which limits opponents to 179 yards through the air per outing.

In order to come back from the Glass Bowl Stadium with a win, Bonamego said his team will have to play fundamentally sound football and limit the selfinflicted wounds like turnovers and penalties.
