FACULTY STRIKE

CMU tells students to attend classes, files injunction against FA

Central Michigan University will take the Faculty Association to court today to challenge its decision to perform a full work stoppage.

Under Michigan law, it is illegal for public em-ployees to strike over economic issues, and CMU employees are considered public employees, said Director of Public Relations Steve Smith.

However, the FA said the work stoppage is legal because it is in protest of unfair labor practices, and they it is a protected activity.

As a result of the full work stoppage, the FA is withholding all services, including teaching classes, responding to emails, holding office hours, attend-ing meetings and advising.

Students cheered and ap-plauded for faculty as they left Mount Pleasant High School after approving a strike.

“This is the first time in Fac-ulty Association history that they’ve been working without a contract, and the FA is one of the oldest unions of its kind in the country,” said graduate student Michelle Campbell

and student liaison to the FA.About 100 people marched

from Warriner Hall Sunday night to Mount Pleasant High School, 1155 S. Elizabeth St., waiting for faculty to walk out.

“We want to see students get up and do something, and be the first people to see what’s going on and show our support for the faculty,” said graduate student Nicole Wood, who organized the event.

Wood said the group want-ed to hear something from the administration so students had a better idea of what was going on.

“I think the administra-tion is being ridiculous,” said Grayling senior Storm Shriver.

He eventually plans on be-ing a professor, so Shriver said he sympathizes with the fac-ulty.

The majority of the Central Michigan University unions contacted by CM Life said they stand behind the Fac-ulty Association’s decision to strike.

Union of Teaching Faculty President Jim Eikrem, said it fully supports the FA.

“We absolutely support them in striking,” he said. “We

do advise them not to take any work.”

Although the UTF agreed not to strike in its own con-tract, Eikrem said its sym-pathetic. Many of the other unions said their contracts have put them in the same position.

Karen Bellingar, president of the United Auto Workers Local 6888, said it is also un-der a contract that prohibits members, who are office pro-

fessionals, from striking, but not from supporting their fel-low unions.

Bellingar said members can picket with the faculty so long as it is on their own time, and they plan to. Bellingar said they have picketed in the past.

Union members said they are prepared to support the FA, but they have not voted on a plan yet.

CMU’s 439 fixed-term fac-ulty and 591 graduate assis-tants will still hold classes as scheduled.

The Student Government Association and university public relations are advis-ing students to report to all classes, since a formal noti-fication of cancelation will not be issued.

The FA has several issues

with the university’s pro-posals as of July 14. These include the FA losing its MESSA health coverage, ac-cepting a pay freeze for this academic year, and remov-ing athletics, counseling and library groups from the bargaining unit.

Both sides said progress was made on non-econom-ic issues during Saturday’s

meeting, but major econom-ic differences remained.

The university sent an email to students and staff at approximately 11 p.m. Sunday, advising them to re-port to class.

The FA has full support from the Michigan Educa-tion Association, which will pay faculty members the majority of their regular sal-ary from the association’s crisis assistance fund, for-mer FA President Tim Con-nors said.

Laura Frey, FA president, made the announcement about 8:30 p.m. Sunday af-ter the FA’s closed meet-ing at Mount Pleasant High School, 1155 S. Elizabeth St. The decision was made af-ter more than 20 bargaining sessions with the university, beginning in April, failed to result in an agreement. Sev-eral of these meetings were mediated by the state.

Frey said the FA will stay out of the classroom “as long as we need to.”

She also said the FA is will-ing to take a risk to stand up for student rights, and said it is serving as a role model

for students to stand up for what they believe in.

More than 100 students and community members marched from Warriner Hall to the high school in sup-port of the FA.

Connors said he could hear the marchers chanting from inside the auditorium and came out to greet them.

“You have no idea about the goosebumps that gave me to know that you were here to show your support,” Connors said.

FA members and support-ers will hold a sit-in at War-riner Mall at 7 a.m. today to greet University President George Ross as he arrives.

SGA President Vincent Ca-vataio said his concern lies with the 30,000 CMU stu-dents. He said he will wait to receive feedback from students before forming a resolution.

“I am supporting what’s in the students’ best interest,” he said.

The resolution will not come until Aug. 29, when the SGA house and senate

WASHINGTON — Pres-ident Barack Obama in-sisted the U.S. is not in danger of falling into an-other recession, but ac-knowledged in a televised interview aired Sunday that his re-election will hinge on the economy.

In the interview with CBS News taped last week — after a new Gal-lup poll found just 26 percent approve of the way he is handling the economy — Obama said, “I’m the president of the United States and when people aren’t happy with what’s happening in Washington ... I’m go-ing to be impacted just like Congress is. And you know, I completely un-derstand that and we ex-pected that.”

He blamed voters’ frus-tration and the recent stock market turmoil on an economy that’s “not growing fast enough.”

As Obama toured the rural Midwest by bus last week, he seemed to be in campaign mode, dar-ing Republicans to block his upcoming jobs pack-age and calling on vot-ers to “send a message to folks in Washington.” He

pledged to send the jobs proposal to Congress and to campaign against law-makers if they refused to pass it.

But in the CBS inter-view, the president ac-knowledged that voters could blame everyone in Washington — including him.

“And for me to argue, ‘Look, we’ve actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse had we not made those decisions’ — that’s not that satis-fying if you don’t have a job right now,” he said. He added that he expects “to be judged a year from now on whether or not things have continued to get better.”

Economic growth has been weak and the un-employment rate has been above 9 percent for months.

Obama attributed Au-gust’s stock market roller coaster to “a lot of head winds” from world events - the debt crisis in Eu-rope, the earthquake in Japan and the spike in gas prices caused by the wave of protests that hit the Middle East last spring. The Dow Jones industrial average is down 6.6 per-cent for the year.

BENGHAZI, Libya — The long reign of Col. Moammar Gadhafi appeared to collapse Sunday as rebels swept into Tripoli, captured two of his sons and set off wild street celebrations in a capital that he’d ruled by fear for more than four decades, Libyan of-ficials and NATO said.

With NATO bombings pav-ing the way, rebel forces en-tered Tripoli with surprising ease and by early Monday controlled much of the city. Gadhafi’s personal guard sur-rendered to rebel forces, and television showed crowds of opposition fighters in Tripoli unfurling the tricolor flag of pre-Gadhafi Libya and smashing the ruler’s portraits.

“This is historic,” Amal Abdelrazk, 41, a resident of downtown Tripoli’s Andalus Street, said by phone. “After 41 years, eight months and 27 days, we witness this moment ... The whole thing is like a dream.”

Rebel military spokesman Col. Ahmed Bani told MCT that his forces were looking for Gadhafi in and around Tripoli. Gadhafi’s where-abouts were unknown, but a U.S. official said: “We have no reason to believe (he) has left the country.”

Late Sunday Gadhafi made a brief audio statement on Libyan TV, sounding desper-ate as he called on individ-

ual tribes and cities to “take weapons” and defend “beau-tiful Tripoli.”

“All the tribes, you must all march to Tripoli in order to defend and purify it,” he said, calling the rebels agents of Western powers. “Otherwise you will have no dignity; you will become slaves and ser-vants in the hands of the im-perialists.”

But the mercurial leader was nowhere to be seen, and for many Libyans, the regime’s death blow came with the rebels’ arrest of Seif al-Islam, Gadhafi’s powerful son and one-time heir apparent, who had vowed after the uprising against his father began that the regime would fight its op-ponents “until the last bullet.”

The rebels’ Transitional Na-tional Council in the eastern city of Benghazi confirmed Seif al-Islam’s arrest. Luis Moreno Ocampo, chief pros-ecutor of the International Criminal Court, told CNN that he would begin talks with the rebels Monday on trans-ferring him to the custody of the court, which issued a warrant for his arrest in June on charges of crimes against humanity.

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in a written statement: “The Gadhafi regime is clearly crumbling. The sooner Gad-hafi realizes that he cannot win the battle against his own people, the better — so that the Libyan people can be spared further bloodshed and suffering.”

GADHAFI REGIME APPARENTLY FALLS IN LIBYA

Some community members joined the march as well.

“I heard about the march on Facebook and came out to show my support, because my husband is on faculty,” said Judy Gibson.

Campbell urged students to talk to their professors to bet-ter understand the situation.

“If you have not been con-tacted by your professor or communicated with them, then it’s a personal responsi-bility to get in touch with your professor or go to class so you don’t jeopardize your grade,” Campbell said.

Student Government As-sociation vice president Bryant English and Trea-surer Daniel Wiley have both resigned from their positions citing personal reasons.

Both English, a Jackson junior, and Wiley, a Port Huron junior, submitted letters of resignation to SGA President Vincent Cavataio, Friday

In accordance with the SGA constitution, President

Cavataio appointed new SGA members to replace the two.

The newly-appointed vice president, Brighton ju-nior Colleen McNeely, op-posed English in the April election. McNeely has been a member of the SGA for three years and held a Sen-ate position and chaired committees in the past.

Cavataio said he was confident McNeely was the right choice as vice presi-dent and the decision came very quickly.

“Colleen is more than ca-

pable of fulfilling the role and we had similar goals during the election,” Ca-vataio said. “I’m more than excited to work with her. She is a very motivated and intelligent individual.”

McNeely said she was excited to be appointed as vice president, and said her ambition to be in the posi-tion is still there from the April election.

“I’ve always wanted to take on additional leader-ship roles in SGA so this is a great opportunity for me,” McNeely said. “It was defi-

nitely exciting that Vince chose me and it’s certainly an honor to be appointed to the position. This way, I know the leadership wants me there.”

Cavataio said he was sad-dened to see English leave, but the SGA president said he won’t let the resignations hinder his plans.

“I am sad to see him go, but the opportunity to bring Colleen on my team overshadows my disap-pointment,” Cavataio said.

Hesperia junior Killian Richeson, a former SGA

treasurer, was chosen to re-place Wiley.

Cavataio said he was con-fident Richeson would have an easy time fulfilling his role.

Richeson said he was very excited to have the op-portunity to hold the trea-surer position once again after leaving the position because of academic and family reasons last school year.

Some of Richeson’s big-gest concerns as treasurer include the Central Pro-gramming Funds and find-

ing ways for the Central Michigan University Pro-gram Board to utilize the new McGuirk Arena.

“I am incredibly excited that I have another year to try and make my plans a re-ality and put more money toward student needs, con-cerns and entertainment,” Richeson said. “The learn-ing curve will be nonexis-tent for me.”

Neither English or Wiley could be reached for com-ment.

The Student Government Association was present with its new vice president Colleen McNeely, Brighton junior, and President Vince Cavataio informing students about SGA.

“We’re here because we’d like to get students more involved in SGA and make SGA more relevant to stu-dents and their needs,” Mc-Neely said.

DeSchutter said they ex-pected about 3,000 students throughout day

“It’s a fun day before school starts for students to have fun and relax,” she said.

Attractions included car-nival rides, inflatables, break dancers, mechanical bull riding, a “Galaxy Wars 2” simulator, free food, re-freshments and swag.

“MAINstage is great be-cause you get to know about everything on campus in one place,” said Sabrina Stackpoole, a Clinton Town-ship freshman.

Stackpoole said she also liked the break dancers and fighters.

Others RSOs on-site in-cluded MHTV, CMU’s stu-dent-run television station, Spectrum, representing the LGBT community, the Red Cross Club, that organize blood drives on campus and the Herpetological Society.

Dustin Kaleyta, a member of Central Michigan Uni-versity ROTC and student at Saginaw Valley State Univer-sity, died August 12 from in-juries sustained in a motor-cycle accident in Saginaw.

The funeral is Monday at Snow Funeral Home, 3775 N. Center Road in Saginaw.

“He was definitely a lead-er’s leader,” said National Guard Liaison Sgt. John Claybaugh. “Even though he was a college student he carried himself as though he had years of military experi-ence. He had students in his charge and he always took care of them.”

Claybaugh said Kaleyta, 21, turned down a scholar-ship with ROTC to join the National Guard and receive more leadership experience.

“We told Dustin that the Army National Guard needs him more than he needs us,” Claybaugh said.

Kaleyta kept up morale in his squad, while also being compassionate, Claybaugh said.

Shelby Township senior Brent Kearns knew Kaleyta for three years.

“He was assigned to me as part of the mentor/mentee program,” Kearns said. “We got a new mentee every year, but he’s the only one I kept in contact with because he was the only one who actu-ally cared about doing things with the military.”

Kaleyta was a cadet, train-ing to be an officer.

“He was one of the best leaders I knew,” said Pfc. Dominic Monte, who was in Kaleyta’s unit. “He was easy to talk to and a genuinely good guy,”

Kaleyta was well liked by everybody, Monte said.

As a person and member of ROTC, Kearns said Kaleyta could be seen as a role mod-el.

“I think anyone that would see him would say, ‘I wish my son would grow up to be like that someday,’” Kearns said.

Thomas Oehler jumped, hopped and rode his way through Central Michigan University’s campus and Main Street Sunday evening.

Oehler, a 28-year-old Aus-trian trial biker and world record holder, was brought to CMU by Red Bull student brand manager and Midland junior Anthony Lazzaro.

Trial biking is similar to free-style mountain biking where riders jump and ride over obstacles, including

CMU student Plymouth fresh-man Kyle Aprill while he laid on the cement.

“It was really crazy and I was scared,” Aprill said. “I thought he was going to run over me. You have to be an expert to do that.”

Aprill said he loves biking and if he could do it, he would live on his bike.

Oehler performed in front of the CMU Events Center during the afternoon and in front of dorms and the Delta Chi house in the evening.

Oehler jumped over rows of students, balanced on ledges

and jumped off of walls out-side the Events Center and over a stack of 10 pallets about 5 feet high.

Oehler has been sponsored by Red Bull for ten years and is currently performing on cam-puses across the U.S. for the Red Bull Back to School Tour.

Born and raised in Austria, Oehler said he first took an interest in trial biking through his father who was a rally driv-er and into trial biking.

“I used to bring my bike in the house and balance on it while watching television,” he said. “My mom would always

yell ‘Why is the bike in the house?’ to me.”

Oehler’s passion for trial biking continued as he ex-celled and became a five-time Austrian champion as well as a European championship winner in 2006. Oehler is also the world record holder for the highest wall climb on a bi-cycle, at almost 10 feet.

“I do it for fun and for plea-sure,” Oehler said. “I started riding with my friends around the neighborhood when I was young, cruising around, and

College students may have garnered the reputation for be-ing the sole providers of plasma at the Mount Pleasant BioLife, but in reality they only account for 50 percent of donors.

The other half is comprised of “community members, who generally live within 15 to 20 miles of our location,” said Jason Chronowski, BioLife regional marketing representative, in an email.

“BioLife centers attract a wide mix of individuals: blue and white collar workers, stay-at-home parents, professionals and individuals in the military — people from all walks of life,” Chronowski said.

The major attraction of the plasma donation center, located at 4279 E. Blue Grass Road, is its

reimbursement to donors. Eli-gible visitors are paid each time they donate, which can be up to twice in a seven-day period, with at least one full day be-tween donations.

However, this reimbursement program restricts BioLife in how the collected plasma can be do-nated.

Monica Stoneking, com-munications manager for the American Red Cross Great Lakes Region, said paid plasma donations cannot be transfused into patients.

“We depend on volunteer blood donors,” Stoneking said.

Many plasma donors rely on the compensation for do-nating, so it is not uncommon to exclude information about recent tattoos, piercings, in-fections and other factors that could keep them from donating, Stoneking said.

Volunteer blood donors do not have the monetary incen-tive to donate, so they have no reason to fabricate their health situation in order to donate blood.

Stoneking said the Red Cross, Michigan Blood and other or-ganizations rely on the research BioLife and other plasma dona-tion services conduct with the plasma they collect.

“The plasma that is collected at BioLife centers is manufac-tured into a wide variety of life-saving products that benefit thousands of people every day,” Chronowski said in an email. “Plasma is used in the treatment of serious disorders such as he-mophilia and immune system deficiencies, and to make prod-ucts used to help treat and pre-vent diseases.”

Third times aren’t the charm at Central Michigan University because of a policy limiting the number of times a student can take a course.

The three-peat rule, which began in 2003, states a stu-dent can only attempt to take a course three times, including withdraws. On the fourth time, they are not allowed to register.

Registrar Karen Hutslar said the purpose of the rule was to help raise academic standards at the university.

However, the rule is often not enforced.

Students who have attempt-

ed a course three times can ap-peal to the department chair through which the course is offered. If the chairperson ap-proves their request, the stu-dent will be allowed to retake the course.

Last year, 114 exceptions were made — a decrease from the 2009 school year when 128 students received exceptions.

The registrar has no record of how many students’ appeals were denied because it is han-dled by each of the department chairs. There are approximately 40 chairs at CMU.

“I assume the number (de-nied) is low because the uni-versity wants to work with stu-dents, but we don’t want them

to keep retaking classes that they are having a lot of difficult-ly with,” Hutslar said.

The policy was added to the student handbook and appears in the bulletin, but many stu-dents are unaware of the policy until they try to register for the class a fourth time.

“The policy doesn’t make sense,” said Warren sophomore Kenneth Cordry. “I should be able to honestly attempt to take a class as many times as I would like and the fact that withdrawls are included in your attempts makes the likelihood of the policy hurting students three times worse.”

CMU’s ‘three-peat’ rule often not enforced, exceptions made

By David OlteanSenior Reporter

This year’s number of mi-nor in possession and open intoxication citations dur-ing Welcome Weekend in-creased by approximately 55 percent from last year.

According to a press re-lease from the Mount Pleas-ant Police Department, there were 258 MIP and open in-toxication citations this year, compared to 166 last year.

However, this year’s statis-tics also included incidents from Thursday, while last year only included Friday through Sunday citations. Police also said there were 11 counts of disorderly con-duct, 13 cases of attending and/or hosting nuisance party, four counts of pos-session of marijuana, five counts of resisting and ob-structing an officer, and sev-en counts of operating while intoxicated.

Officers could be seen patrolling on foot in many off-campus apartment com-plexes and in the downtown area, and police vehicles were on patrol.

Mount Pleasant State Po-lice Trooper Ben Garrison patrolled the downtown area on Saturday night with other State Police members. Garrison said despite com-mon student belief, the first priority of the police was to make sure the area would re-main safe.

“All we’re really trying to do is make sure this down-town area is under control,” Garrison said. “We just don’t want anyone to get hurt.”

Garrison said fighting, open alcohol containers and underage drinking are some of the most common crimes the police come across. However, Garrison said some happenings over the

weekend were much more dangerous, including a hit and run on East Bluegrass Road and a student found unconscious on a lawn downtown.

Central Michigan Uni-versity Police said on-cam-pus incidents included 28 MIPs, two possession of marijuana, two arrests for disorderly conduct, one operating while intoxicat-ed and four resisting arrest for Thursday through Sat-urday.

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said 50 to 70 percent of the people the police en-countered were not from CMU or Mount Pleasant.

“Our approach this year was much more aggressive in writing tickets earlier than we have in the past,” Yeagley said.

Lexington sophomores Josh Vandergraaff and Codee Sutton said they were ex-cited to partake in the week-end’s festivities and agreed there is a fine line that must be crossed to attract atten-tion from police.

“(The police) do a good job,” Sutton said. “They usu-ally just try to take care of the people that are out of control.”

Buchanan freshman John Kuntz said he spent the weekend enjoying his new-found freedom and meeting plenty of other students, a privilege he did not have in his small hometown.

“I’ve never met so many people in my life,” Kuntz said. “It’s kind of hard to re-member all the names.”

The police also stated there were seven accidents, 14 assaults, 10 calls for larce-ny, 45 calls for loud parties, 30 calls for medical runs, 111 traffic stops and seven acci-dents.

“The Mount Pleasant De-partment of Public Safety did a number of preventive steps to ensure a safe envi-ronment for all who live in and visit our community,” the press release stated.

“Historically, Welcome Weekend has caused signifi-cant public safety concerns. Due to these concerns, we enlisted the help of Central Michigan University faculty, staff and students.”

The Mount Pleasant Police Department was assisted by the Michigan State Police, Mount Pleasant Fire Depart-ment and CMU Police De-partment.

EriCa KEarnS/staff photographerStudents braved the weather to participate in the 2nd annual “Fillin’ Up the Chip” Saturday at Chippawaters Park. Students still came out to float down the river despite the heavy downpour, thunder and lighting they faced.

As enrollment numbers shrink, residence halls will become less crowded this fall.

“We made a choice to lower the number of stu-dents we admit,” said Di-rector of Admissions Bet-ty Wagner. “So this year we shouldn’t have all the overcrowding that we had last school year.”

There will be no resi-dence halls in expanded occupancy, which gave some rooms five residents last year.

The majority of resident assistants and multicul-tural assistants will have a fourth roommate, said Joan Schmidt, associate director of Residence Life. Normally, RAs and MAs re-

ceive their own bedroom.When more rooms begin

to open up, the extra room-mates in these rooms will be given the option to move.

At the start of last school year, almost ten percent of residence hall rooms, 175 rooms out of 1,800, had five students in them. In September, the number dropped to 130 rooms, and in October, it dropped to 43. At the start of the spring semester in Janu-ary, there were 54 of those rooms.

“I was everybody’s fa-vorite roommate so I choose to stay in the room (when offered the option),” said Perry Wat-kins, a New Jersey sopho-more who shared a room with four others last year. “But it was a huge hassle in the room when it came to space because we never had enough.”

Freshmen enrollment is expected to drop by over

300 students this school year with estimates be-tween 3,800 and 3,850 compared to last year’s re-cord of 4,173. The official 2011-2012 count will not be available until mid-September when all late cancellations are account-ed for, said John Fisher, associate vice president of Residences and Auxiliary Services.

Most freshmen classes in the past decade have had between 3,500 and 3,850 students. The 4,000 incoming freshmen mark was hit for the first time last year.

Fisher said CMU does not have any plans in the near future to build new residence halls on cam-pus.

Heavy rain deterred the large number of tubers ex-pected at the Chippewa River Saturday.

The Facebook event “Fillin up the Chip” had 3,391 people signed up to go tubing, but the event’s creator, a Central Michigan University student who goes by “Ruffio CrabTree” and declined to allow the use of his real name in print, said only about 100 people showed up.

“Not enough people came out,” CrabTree said. “(There was) way too much hype for not enough people.”

CrabTree said an officer with the Michigan Depart-ment of Natural Resources followed tubers to the river.

“We prepared for the worst, but, due to the rain or the me-dia surrounding the event, the worst didn’t happen, and we’re thankful for that,” said graduate student Ashley Le-wandowski, who works at the front gate of Meridian Park.

Lewandowski said extra staff and sheriffs were pre-pared to provide assistance but were not needed.

CrabTree said the group was not out to do damage to the river.

“After all the negative atten-tion we got from The Morn-ing Sun, our goal was to prove them wrong,” CrabTree said. “We brought bags for every-one, and we picked up every beer can we saw.”

CrabTree said to his knowl-edge, the DNR did not issue a single ticket to anyone in his group.

“My family were farmers,” he said. “We lived off the envi-ronment and it was a personal blow when I got all the nega-tive press.”

CrabTree said he and his group got out of the river as soon as thunder started.

“We encourage everyone to get out of the river as soon as lightning starts,” CrabTree said.

Rainstorm washes out crowd expected at ‘Fillin’ up the Chip’

A transition day-camp prepared Mount Pleasant’s incoming seventh graders for middle school life.

The camp, located at West Intermediate Middle School, 4400 S. Bradley St., had students participating in social studies, science and math exercises with the help of Central Michigan University teaching stu-dents and Mount Pleasant area teachers. They also had the opportunity to try out locker combinations and go through their daily class schedules.

Knowing these kinds of responsibilities ahead of time helps the kids become leaders amongst their peers once school starts, said Raeanne Lohner, camp di-rector and Grand Rapids senior.

“Once they start at middle school it can be overwhelm-ing for them if they’ve never had to do things like locker combinations before,” she said. “A lot of kids get lost in the shuffle. This way they don’t.”

This year 14 middle edu-cation pre-service teachers volunteered at the camp, which went from Monday through Friday.

“This is the perfect op-portunity for teacher edu-cation students to try out what they know,” said Im-lay City senior Chad Crary. “The students begin their day with an activity in the morning to get to know one another, then they have classes throughout the day.”

Starting in May, sixth graders were sent home with notices and sign-up sheets for the camp. The camp is funded by a grant from the Mount Pleasant Area Community Founda-tion and is free.

“I was worried about the new school at first, but I think I’m good now,” said 13-year-old Mount Pleasant resident Albertino Schultz. “The whole building was weird to me, but they helped explain things to me.”

Schultz said he also liked getting to know the coun-selors because of their hu-morous personalities.

The camp helped show students what they need to know for middle school, said 12-year-old resident Grace Buerkel.

Buerkel said she did not know how to open a locker before she attended camp.

It is one of the best ways to teach students to use what they have learned, Hudsonville senior Jessica Boerema said.

“It gives the kids a chance to make friends from other schools and gets them to think about school,” she said. “We also get more opportunities to work with kids.”

A 19-year-old who was in-jured in a hit and run at 2:12 a.m. Friday on East Bluegrass Road, has been identified as Central Michigan University sophomore James C. Berlin.

The Grand Rapids student’s condition is still unknown after he illegally crossed the road with several people and

was hit by a dark colored SUV, said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. Police be-lieve alcohol was a factor in the accident.

Berlin was unconscious when deputies arrived but later gained consciousness. He was transported to Cen-tral Michigan Community Hospital, and later to Cov-enant Hospital in Saginaw.

The group of individuals

walking with the pedestrian said the SUV slowed down briefly before driving off. Of-ficials said there is damage to the driver’s side front left por-tion of the vehicle.

Mioduszewski said a sus-pect has not been identified and could not comment fur-ther because of the ongoing investigation.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]

Much at stake for students in FA, CMU negotiations

Students need

to stand with FA

Lonnie AllenStaff Designer

I appreciate your “students lose” headline because I believe students need to realize just how much of a stake they have in the current nego-tiations and that the significance of what is occurring goes well beyond the temporary confusion surrounding any missed classes.

I believe students clearly lose if CMU cannot recruit and retain the best possible faculty.

I believe students clearly lose if CMU shifts its priorities away from under-graduate and graduate teaching and learning to a medical college, a fancy

events center and new buildings.I believe students clearly lose if

CMU acquires a national reputation not for educational excellence, but for mismanagement, poor leadership and the lack of a clear vision.

And frankly, I believe students clearly lose if they see their teachers and mentors and advisers getting trampled down by an administration that is attempting to exploit anti-union headwinds and Michigan’s financial distress to attack the faculty union and ram an unfair contract down their throats not out of financial necessity,

but purely because they feel they can.One of the most powerful lessons

students can take from the current situation is the necessity of standing up for what they think is right.

In my opinion, the faculty would be unfit to teach here if they didn’t fight for what they so clearly deserve, fight to keep CMU’s priorities focused on teaching and learning, fight to attract and retain the best possible faculty, and fight to make the educational experience here at CMU matter to the fullest.

With that in mind, I hope students

will weigh the possible short-term con-fusion and distress of cancelled classes against the long-term ramifications of faculty attrition, faculty dissatisfaction and a diminished CMU reputation.

And this is why I hope the students will come out and support their faculty — because it is about your education and getting the most for your money. Together students and faculty are Central.

Jeffrey Weinstock, Professor of English

Students should stand with the faculty and walk out of classes if no deal is reached with the administration’s bargaining team.

It is apparent profit and financial gain is the only direction Central Michigan University is taking and it is because of the highest levels of CMU’s administration. This school has money — don’t let the president and financial powers try to spin it any other way. The admin-istration has become quite comfortable within its own pay-grade, and suggesting an improvement for fac-ulty contracts is apparently taboo.

As a journalism student, I have the responsibility to hold the people in power accountable and that in-cludes reporting what each of them earns compared to our faculty. This information is available to students upon request at Park Library.

It all comes down to ad-ministration and the direc-tion they want to take CMU. I believe they are going down the wrong road.

This is a call for all stu-dents, community members and alumni to stand by your faculty and demand they are given what they have asked for.

If not, then whatever decisions the FA makes we need to be right there with them. We need to show this administration that no more cuts or tuition raises will be tolerated until we see real action from the top on sal-ary reduction and control of frivolous spending on this campus.

The consequences of un-necessary spending are now being passed down to our faculty by a threat of re-duced benefits and unpaid promotions.

If the administration has its way, this university will be taught by all adjuncts. CMU students might as well go to a community college. I don’t want to insult tempo-rary faculty or adjuncts as they are just as important, but my point is full-time fac-ulty are a key component to this institution and should not be treated as a number that can be reduced to help the bottom line.

It is understandable the university is facing cuts in state aid, but these cuts should never be passed down to students and teach-ers. Cuts should always be-gin at the top. The faculty is just as important as George Ross and everyone else who makes decisions on the di-rection of CMU.

VOICES|

6A

Robert Martin, associate vice provost of Faculty and Person-nel Services, said this to CM Life on April 20 when talking about administrative pay packages and how Central Michigan University is attempting to join the upper echelon of Michigan universi-ties.

Martin, who is on the CMU bargaining team meeting with the Faculty Association’s, illumi-nates a powerful point: CMU is clearly looking to move up as a place of higher education.

However, if they wish to make

that leap, CMU officials must acknowledge the work of the faculty — something that clearly isn’t happening in current nego-tiations.

As of today, the FA will be on a strike and many classes are canceled for the time being. FA members have ample reason to do so because CMU administra-tors were given several easy outs to prevent this sorry state.

During ongoing negotiations, CMU has not answered the basic question of why it chose to not extend the contract of the fac-

ulty for this semester. The FA has alleged the university did not bargain in good faith since the FA contract expired on June 30.

The university has said the current proposal by the FA would cost CMU about $10 mil-lion over three years.

University officials have said that is too much, but with the Board of Trustees approving a $429 million operating budget for this year, the FA contract would amount to less than 2.5 percent of the annual budget that is paid for by students and funding from the state.

If CMU is going to commit to building a better university, then the focus should be on its academia.

CMU is permanently scarring its relationship with one of its most important assets. When students come to a university, they come for higher learning — faculty provide that education, not administrators.

While paying competitively for administrators is a great thing, faculty deserve to be compen-sated equally well, instead of allegedly making among lowest salaries in the Mid-American Conference.

Doling out progressively larger salaries to administrators while leaving faculty with less and less competitive compensation could leave the school’s well-paid staff with little to administer.

Are you angry about the current bar-gaining situation between CMU and the Faculty? If I were a student, I would be. I am a professor, and I can assure you I am deeply disturbed by these negotiations. Here is a brief primer on why I am so upset:

1) FACT: Salaries of upper admin-istrators have exploded in the past 10 years. In 2000, the CMU President earned $200,000. In 2010, George Ross earned $350,000, a 75-percent increase (and that doesn’t include the $50,000 bonus he received!). The Provost’s sal-ary is up 63 percent in those 10 years. Over that same time period, faculty have seen their pay increase about 32 percent. Of course, the administrators started with higher salaries in the first place, so in addition to having a larger percentage increase, the difference in actual dollars was huge.

2) FACT: Since 2000, the undergrad-uate enrollment at CMU has increased 32 percent and tuition has increased 220 percent (not including the increase this fall!). The huge increase in enroll-

ment and in tuition translates into an obscene amount of revenue for CMU. In contrast, the number of tenure track faculty at CMU has increased six percent! Students suffer as the ratio of students to faculty skyrockets.

3) FACT: The faculty at CMU is already paid less than faculty at other MAC schools. In 2009-2010, we ranked between 8th and 10th (depending on faculty rank), out of 13 MAC schools! Salaries for full professors at CMU were over $7,000 lower than the aver-age salary for full professors in the MAC. Our faculty is as good as any in the MAC and we are not being com-pensated in any way near what our peers are being compensated.

4) FACT: The current unrestricted surplus assets held by CMU is $228,307,60, an increase of 69 per-cent since 2005. This is money that is not tied up in buildings and facilities and is not earmarked for any specific purpose, and is higher than any other point in the history of CMU. This has led President Ross and the Board of

Trustees to state that CMU is “rock solid” financially.

5) FACT: President Ross manipula-tively withheld the names of faculty approved for promotion from the Board of Trustees for two months. This ensured that the Board would approve these promotions AFTER the collective bargaining agreement between CMU and the faculty expired on June 30th. Why does this matter? The administra-tion is now citing a Michigan law that states raises approved after the expira-tion of a collective bargaining agree-ment are not subject to retroactive pay after a new agreement is signed. In other words, as negotiations drag into the fall, every week that goes by is a week that these hard working profes-sors who have ALREADY EARNED THEIR RAISES with past years work, will not be compensated for their earned promotions.

What do these things tell us? They tell me that CMU is doing great financially, and the administration has inflated their salaries on the backs of

the faculty and students, while plead-ing poverty with the faculty. Not only that, but President Ross’s manipulative withholding of promotion information until AFTER the contract had expired tells me something very clearly: This man is no leader for our institution. Is this the way a man of high integrity ap-proaches bargaining with the employ-ees that make up the lifeblood of his university? The answer is clearly “no”. In my 15 years at CMU I have seen bargaining five times. Each time, the administration asked for and received give-backs from the faculty. Each time the negotiations were difficult. Never before have I seen such underhanded and immoral tactics from the admin-istration. In the end, CMU students suffer as the administration refuses to bargain a fair contract with their outstanding faculty. If you agree, now is the time to let your voice be heard.

Working in the emergency room is a family affair. For two Central Michigan Community Hospital employees,

Both graduates of Central Michigan University, Emer-gency Care Physician Dr. Brian Doughty and his son Kyle enjoy working together as a team in the fast-paced environment of the emergency room.

Kyle works as an Emergency Room technician and said his father inspired him to follow in his medical footsteps.

“I had a lot of medical influ-ence growing up, so once I en-tered high school, I knew I want-ed to become a doctor,” Kyle said. “I became familiar with medical terms when I was younger be-cause my parents used them, and it sparked my interest.”

Brian Doughty completed his undergraduate work at CMU in 1975. In December 2010, Kyle graduated from CMU with a major in biomedical sciences and a minor in chemistry.

Upon graduating, Brian be-came an orderly in the CMCH emergency room.

“Kyle has done really well,” Brian said. “First he did well in school, and then he got the job here on his own. I let him know about it, but he pursued it and stuck with it.”

Director of Patient Care Ser-vices Lea Curtiss said they set the example as role models for other CMCH staff.

“Both Kyle and Dr. Doughty are pleasant, respectful and readily willing to help others,” she said. “As support staff in the Emergency Department, it is crucial to anticipate needs of the physician. When the ‘Doughty

Duo’ team is working, their rela-tionship enhances this.”

Kyle may continue in his father’s footsteps and attend medical school at Michigan State University. He is also con-sidering attending Wayne State University in fall 2012.

“With all of my experience in the ER, I have an inclination toward emergency medicine over family practice,” Kyle said. “Thanks to my dad, I received the guidance and inspiration I needed to find a career I love.”

Curtiss said both Dr. Doughty and Kyle are patient, kind and knowledgeable, which is the foundation for success in medi-cine.

“We are very fortunate to have one Doughty working at CMCH,” she said. “Having two is truly a blessing.”

Last year there were less than a dozen reported instances of credit card fraud on campus, but Lt. Cameron Wassman of the CMU Police said students should still take caution.

“It takes about two minutes to clear out an unlocked room,” he said. “Locking your door would probably prevent about 50-per-cent or more of the claims we encounter.”

Wassman said while many people would assume thefts are done by strangers, it is not often the case.

“Lots of times it’s room-mates,” he said. “Someone will get ahold of someone’s purse or wallet and use those items to pose as that person to make purchases, magazine subscrip-

tions and even student loan payments in some cases.”

Students should contact the bank immediately if they be-lieve a credit card has been lost or stolen so the company can deny future purchases, and then contact the police department.

Students should also be care-ful with their Campus IDs.

While the Central Card Office has no data of anyone ever steal-ing a campus ID and misusing it, students should not lend their cards out to others.

The Campus ID website said the card can be taken away and a $25 dollar misuse fee must be paid before the student can get his or her card back.

“It is the policy of campus dining that the cashiers check the ID to ensure the picture matches the person present-ing the card,” said Anthony

Smucler, coordinator of the Central Card Office.

The Campus ID is similar to a credit card, so it should be pro-tected like a credit card, Smucler said.

If a card is stolen it can be de-activated by going online.

“They can suspend their card on the website,” Smucler said. “If they come across a situation where the card is lost or their wallet is stolen, they can sus-pend their card there.”

The old card essentially be-comes a piece of plastic, he said.

“In a nutshell: know where your stuff is and if it’s missing, notify the right people immedi-ately,” Wassman said. “Report-ing and notifying the people who produce those items are the two key things.”

Campus ID theft uncommon but police recommend caution

Several graduates from Central Michigan University’s physician assistant program didn’t have to look far when searching for a job after grad-uation.

Central Michigan Commu-nity Hospital currently em-ploys several PA’s who com-pleted the program.

CMU 2011 graduate Alex Corcoran was hired as a full-time PA at CMCH and will be accepting new patients at the office of family practitioner Dr. R. Scott Vogel located in the Central Michigan Health Park, 2935 Health Parkway, in the fall.

Corcoran said the local peo-ple are the main reason he en-joys working in town.

“There is more of a sense of gratitude among the patient population here in central Michigan compared to down-state,” he said in a CMCH press release. “I enjoy working in family practice because you get to develop a long-term re-lationship with these patients and their families.”

Physician Assistant Lacey Gardner, graduated from CMU’s PA program in 2007

and completed her clinical rotations in the Bay City-Sag-inaw area.

Gardner said she always knew she wanted to work in health care and eventually de-cided on PA school.

“I like family practice be-cause of the follow-up and helping people improve and make changes in their lives,” she said. “It’s rewarding when you see someone quit smok-ing or get their diabetes under control.”

Gardner has been with CMCH for two years and works at the Weidman Area Health Clinic with Henry Sz-elag, DO, 3520 N. Woodruff in Weidman, and at the office of family practitioner Dr. Martin Jennings, 1970 Ashland Drive, in Mount Pleasant.

She also works three to four days a month in CMCH’s emergency room.

“It can be hectic,” she said. “But I’m usually able to bal-ance everything.”

Debra Christie, Physician Assistant graduated from CMU’s PA program in 2007 as well, and completed her clini-cal rotations at CMCH.

Christie worked as an ob-stetrics nurse for 13 years before returning to PA

school in 2005.“I didn’t want to do hospital

nursing anymore,” Christie said.

Changing her career was a big switch for Christie and her family.

“It took a lot of cooperation from my kids, husband and extended family,” she said.

CMCH also hired Dr. Ben-jamin Debelak, a CMU alum-nus, to practice orthopedic medicine. Dr. Debelak will see patients at his new office loca-tion, Central Michigan Ortho-paedics, 2890 Health Parkway.

Dr. Debelak completed his undergraduate work in 1999 with a biology major and chemistry minor. He recently completed an orthopedic sports medicine fellowship at The Hughston Clinic in Geor-gia.

Along with working at his office, Dr. Debelak will begin providing orthopedic sports medicine coverage for CMU sports teams in the fall.

“I like the patient popu-lation of athletes,” he said. “Sports medicine works with young, motivated people looking to get back to their pre-injury competition level.”

Toastmasters Club is an international organization forming a chapter in Mount Pleasant focused on helping people improve speech and presentation skills in front of a public audience.

“Toastmasters is basically for anybody — any age, any industry and any position someone may be in,” said Scott Gillespie, vice presi-dent of membership. “Com-ing to the Toastmasters meetings can even help im-prove small talk skills.”

The bi-monthly meetings consist of three people pre-senting a speech, approxi-mately four to six minutes in length, to the group for cri-tique. Each meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday and fourth Tues-day of each month. Meetings will be held at the Mid Michi-gan Health Park.

Gillespie said a $55 mem-

bership fee covers the cost of manuals with 10 different speeches. The presenters are told to plug in their per-sonal research, information, thoughts and opinions.

Each meeting designates members with different roles, he said.

“There is a ‘toastmaster’ who runs each meeting, a general evaluator, a timer, a counter and grammarian,” Gillespie said. “After the speeches are given, the eval-uators give their opinion.”

Each person can individu-ally learn from it, but the whole group can also ben-efit, he said.

Lauren McConnell, assis-tant professor of Communi-cation and Fine Arts, agreed Toastmasters benefits its members.

“It’s a great organization and has, in fact, helped a lot of people improve their pub-lic speaking skills,” she said. “It is also a nice way for peo-ple to meet other people.”

She said students have very little practice speaking in front of crowds, or even one-on-one because of the increased use of social me-dia.

Troy junior Sienna Violett said it is difficult to present in front of her classes and the group may help her.

“I hate standing in front of everyone with them staring at me,” Violett said. “It’s hard when there is so much pres-sure to not mess up and say the right thing.”

McConnell said it is ben-eficial for students to learn how to be a better public speaker when looking for a career.

“Being a persuasive speak-er will help you along in any field,” she said.

Anyone interested in gain-ing experience speaking in front of an audience can visit www.toastmasters.org for more information.

the SGA house and senate meet, although he personally supports the faculty.

“I urge administration and the FA to work amongst them-selves to immediately solve this issue,” Cavataio said in a press release. “As students, this is not a burden that we should be car-rying.”

Waterford graduate assistant Michelle Campbell said if a stu-dent’s teacher does not show up after 15 minutes, he or she should go out and support the faculty in a campus sit-in at Warriner Hall.

“I don’t want my fellow stu-dents to just sit at home and do nothing,” Campbell said.

Once students understand what is going on, there will be very few who do not support the faculty, Campbell said.

Campell said she supports anything the FA does because they are doing all this for stu-dents. They could quit and go elsewhere, she said.

Bloomfield Hills senior Scott Cooke and Kalamazoo senior

Abby Howe, both Calkins resi-dent assistants, said they at-tended the rally to find out what to tell their residents. Cooke said residents and RAs will have to find something positive to do to occupy time.

“We just want to be able to inform our residents on what to expect over the next few weeks,” he said.

Waterford sophomore Tom Jackson carried an “I (heart) my faculty” sign and said the Arab Spring uprising inspired him to get involved with the rally.

“When people rise up against oppression, they can have revolutions,” Jackson said. “If people only realize how much power they have, they have the power to change any aspect of society.”

The FA opened a crisis head-quarters located in the Campus Court strip mall at 1622 Suite C on S. Mission. The space is funded by the FA and the MEA.

“The purpose is as a place for the faculty to meet away from campus,” Connors said. “We’ll gather for discussions and pre-pare for what kind of action we take next.”

Waterford graduate as-sistant Michelle Campbell said she thinks the Graduate Union will show support for the FA but still continue to teach. She plans to picket all day when she is not working.

Ruth Barrett, vice president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said she will do the same.

“If I have the time outside of work time, I’ll walk the picket line,” she said. “I sup-port them ... but we cannot strike.”

Bellingar said she was ex-pecting the strike to happen.

“I’m not surprised,” she said. “I think all of the groups on campus have had their share of knowing how nego-tiations were going.”

Linda Dielman, president of the National Association

of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, said their union is not concerned about pick-ets because their building is not located on campus.

She said she is not happy with their contract, but they have agreed to it in good faith and will not strike.

“There’s only 102 of us, and if we went on strike we would not get any pay,” Diel-man said. “We have been go-ing through negotiations for 19 months and we’ve been working without a (new) con-tract for almost 14 (months).”

The real question, Dielman said, is whether unions who work in the same buildings will cross picket lines.

“I don’t have an estimate for you about who may go to work and who won’t,” Eikrem said. “There may be those that feel otherwise about crossing a picket line, but we are advising our members to report to work.”

MAINstage also fea-tured three musical acts. CMU Program Board Concert Chair Jordan Benghiat, a Southfield junior, said Program Board decided to show-case smaller acts for the second year in a row.

“We decided to keep it smaller so we could bring bigger performers throughout the year,” Benghiat said.

Musical acts included alternative rock band Alternate Theory, elec-tronic artist GRiZ and hip-hop artist Smitty.

“MAINstage is a place for people to come and check out RSOs and I wanted to offer a variety of genres for the variet-ies of people who come out,” Benghiat said.

Oehler still rides, tours, and does demonstrations and workshops for young trial bikers in his spare time. He said those interested in trial biking should first start by balancing.

After balancing comes bunny hops, balancing on the front wheel and then the back, Oehler said.

Stefanie Turner now on her own as CMU soccer goalkeeper

Those who are lucky enough to participate in col-legiate athletics know they need to make the most of their opportunities.

After all, life as a college athlete doesn’t last for-ever. Few might have five years, but most have four and others less than that. Regardless of the exact number, any good athlete knows that when it’s their time to shine, they need to take full advan-tage.

That time is now for junior goalkeeper Stefanie Turner. For two years she has waited patiently be-hind former CMU goalkeeper Shay Mannino, the most decorated goalkeeper, and perhaps player, in CMU soccer history.

Throughout her illustrious four-year career from 2007 to 2010, Mannino captured virtually every goaltending record at CMU, becoming the pro-grams’ all-time leader in wins (45), shutouts (31), and goals against average (0.70), also leading the team to back-to-back Mid-American Conference titles.

But now Mannino’s time with the Chippewas is over and it’s Turner’s turn to step in and lead the backline of a team that has had a great amount of success over the past two seasons.

It was just the first game of the new season, but the expectations remain high for the Cen-tral Michigan women’s soccer team.

On Friday the team took the first step in its quest to meet expectations and win a third straight Mid-American Conference title after it

beat the University of Detroit 1-0 at the CMU Soccer Complex.

Last season the Chippewas struggled with the Titans, playing them to a scoreless draw in two overtimes in Detroit, a game which first-year head coach Neil Stafford described as a bit choppy.

This season’s match started much better for CMU. It carried play throughout, especially in the first half, outshooting the Titans by a six-to-one margin.

Former Central Michi-gan men’s basketball player Nate VanArendonk is trans-ferring from CMU to Hope College.

“He came in early last week and decided he lost the passion to put the work in and compete at the Di-vision I level,” said CMU coach Ernie Zeigler. “So he decided to move closer to home and to a place less demanding.”

He was redshirted last year during his freshman season for medical reasons after only playing in the first three games last season. The 6-foot-10 center out of Grand Haven grabbed two

r e b o u n d s in 12 minutes of play.

“ I t ’ s d e f i n i t e l y d i s a p -pointing,” Z e i g l e r said. “We felt he was not giving himself a chance after being out last year. We were really looking forward to seeing him play. This takes one less post player from our rotation.”

Coming out of high school in 2009 Mlive.com ranked him the second best center in the state. The Chippewas won’t make a change in the roster for this year, and will have an extra scholarship for next season.

“He’s still a part of our family so we have to sup-port his decision,” Zeigler said. “Even if you don’t agree with it.”

There are many high profile basketball teams on the new-est men’s and women’s bas-ketball schedule.

For the men, this winter will include a three-day trip to Alaska, along with trips to Minnesota, Iowa State and Nebraska on the non-confer-ence slate.

After Mid-American Con-ference play kicks off for CMU on Jan. 7 against Toledo, four of its first six games are on the road.

“Our non-conference schedule gives us a lot of dif-ferent types of adversity, play-ing on the road and playing in neutral sites,” head coach Ernie Zeigler said. “Our non-conference games should toughen us up on the road.”

The Great Alaska Shootout will host seven other teams during Thanksgiving break. It’s the second long-distance, — tournament in the past two years – last season the team played in Hawaii.

“It’s extremely important for us to make a valiant effort to play in a tournament far from town every year,” Zeigler said.

The big name non-confer-ence matchups will play two key roles for the program this winter.

“It’s good for our guys to play against BCS types of schools because that’s who you’ll play in the postsea-son,” Zeigler said. “And they’re games we have to play for our budget.”

Zeigler said depending on the negations, the three top matchups (Iowa State, Min-nesota and Nebraska) could make the program $75,000 to $100,000 per game.

Following the first four games, two of which are exhi-bition and another is against Ferris State, the Chippewas play 10 of 11 either on the road or at a neutral site to finish off the non-conference schedule.

“It’s very difficult to sched-ule home non-conference games,” Zeigler said. “So we tried to get a lot of neutral site games where it wasn’t a true road game.”

The Chippewas are coming off a 10-21 record (7-9 MAC) and lost their second leading scorer, Jalin Thomas.

“There’s great anticipation for this year,” Zeigler said. “I’m excited about this team as a hole. Last year’s freshmen had great summers. I’m excited about some incoming guys.”

Trey Zeigler will return for his sophomore year after scor-ing a team-high 16.3 points per game last season.

“I’m really excited about the talent level we have, but we’re also really young and need to improve on both sides of the ball,” Zeigler said.

Women’s scheduleThe CMU women’s basket-

ball team has a challenging non conference schedule, highlighted by Northwestern and Louisiana State.

“I think it’s a very challeng-ing schedule and there’s a lot of different styles of basketball from different conferences,” head coach Sue Guevara said. “It’s one that I think our kids

Chippewas release men’s, women’s basketball schedules

are really looking forward to playing.”

CMU opens the season Nov. 11 against Northwestern at McGuirk Arena.

The Chippewas lost 92-84 against the Wildcats last sea-son in Evanston, Ill.

LSU comes to McGuirk Are-na on Nov. 13 in the second game of the season.

The first road game is Nov. 18 against Robert Morris. The next game will feature a matchup at Pittsburgh against the Panthers.

Purdue is also playing at McGuirk Arena this season. CMU will face the Boilermak-ers on Dec. 11.

The Chippewas will be a part of three regular season tournaments next season.

It opens MAC play Jan. 5 against Northern Illinois, and its first conference home game is just six days later against in-state rival Western Michigan.

Every conference road game this season is scheduled for a Thursday, Friday, Satur-day or Sunday and Guevara is glad it worked out that way.

“I really like the face that our farthest away trips are on weekends, so we aren’t miss-ing a lot of class time,” she said.

The Mid-American Con-ference men’s and women’s basketball tournament for-mat has changed.

Instead of the winners of each division getting an au-tomatic one and two seed, it will go to the two best re-cords.

Also, instead of the top four teams getting byes to the quarterfinals, the top two will get byes all the way to the semifinals and the No. 3

and No. 4 seeds receive byes to the quarterfinals.

The higher of the 5-12 seeds will still host the first game at its campus earlier in the week before the winners head to Cleveland.

“It’s different,” men’s bas-ketball head coach Ernie Zeigler said. “It remains to be seen (how it works). I worry about what we can control. In March we just want to be in the tournament and we’ll see what cards we’re dealt.”

Last season, the Chip-pewas were one-and-done against Buffalo in the MAC Tournament, losing by 14 points on the road.

This season Zeigler is ex-cited to get started with a majority of youth on the team.

“I’m excited to see how An-

dre Coimbra improves as a junior college transfer in his second year,” he said. “Austin Keel and Jordan Myrick give us quickness and suaveness and both can shoot the ball.”

The tournament format is adjusting for both men and women. Last season the CMU women’s basketball team made it to the semi-finals, but lost to Bowling Green 80-72. The Chippe-was finished 20-11 last sea-son, winning 11 conference games.

Women’s head coach Sue Guevara is happy with the tournament changes and likes the fact that the best teams are rewarded.

“I think it’s great,” she said. “It’s putting a lot of emphasis on your games in conference play.”

She focused on the fact that the seeding will reward the best teams, despite the division the team belongs to.

“You might be 13-3 and in third place on your side and you’re still going to get seed-ed right,” she said.

The Chippewas season ended in the Women’s Na-tional Invitation Tournament with a 72-59 loss against Illi-nois State in 2010.

The MAC also agreed on a six-year extension with Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena to keep the First Ener-gy MAC men’s and women’s Basketball Tournament at the arena through 2017.

The 2012 MAC Tourna-ment will begin on March 7 and finish on the 10th.

MAC basketball tournament format changedWinners of each division out; two best records in

By Mark SnyderMCT Campus

Because Denard Robin-son returned for his junior year, Michigan’s quarter-back situation has stability for the first time in years.

The last time Michigan had the same starter two years in a row was 2006-07 when Chad Henne finished his career.

“It helps a lot for consis-tency,” offensive lineman Mark Huyge said. “You know how he plays, you know what he’s capable of, so it’s really important as an offensive line — es-pecially with Denard back there — if you stay on your blocks, because he can make anything happen, he’s so fast.”

But in case Robinson gets hurt — which occurred for at least a few plays in near-ly every game last season — the Wolverines have a strong backup situation.

Devin Gardner played

some last season as a true freshman and is apparently progressing in coordina-tor Al Borges’ offense. He is likely to play early in the season, even if Robinson is shining and healthy, be-cause coach Brady Hoke believes “that’s always helpful for him.

I think it’s helpful for your team.”

Although Gardner is 3 or 4 inches taller than Rob-inson, they have a similar skill set, with the ability to run when necessary — al-though Gardner’s not quite as fast — and a strong pass-ing arm.

Hoke takes pride in Rob-inson’s 70 percent comple-tion rate during camp, but also is seeing strides for Gardner, who is between 59-62 percent.

“I think he’s done well, I think he’s thrown the ball well,” Hoke said. “I like his maturity, his body lan-guage and everything else.”

By George SippleMCT campus

EAST LANSING, Mich. — New offensive coordinator Dan Roushar intends for Michigan State to have a bal-anced offense, just like last season.

“I have always defined bal-ance this way: When we have to run the football and every-one in the stadium knows it is a short-yardage situation or a drive to finish the game, you have the ability to do it and do it successfully,” Roushar said. “And I think also in terms of this, being able to throw the football.

“You go back to count-less times last year where we were able to run the ball to finish or — for example, the Northwestern game — where we abandoned the run very early and threw the ball very consistently. That to me is the definition of balance.”

Roushar was Michigan State’s offensive line coach the previous four seasons. He was promoted to offensive coor-dinator and tight ends coach after Don Treadwell left to become head coach at Miami (Ohio).

This will be the fifth time Roushar has been a college offensive coordinator, follow-ing stints at Butler (1989-92), Ball State (1994), Northern Il-linois (1998-2002) and Illinois (2004).

Fifth-year senior guard Joel Foreman said Roushar talked to the offensive players last week about creating an iden-tity and emphasized the need to run the ball.

“He loves running the ball. That’s kind of what we want to do, and that’s what Michigan State’s all about,” Foreman said. “We’re not getting away from that.”

But Roushar isn’t going to ignore the weapons he has in the passing game, including fifth-year senior quarterback Kirk Cousins, three senior wide receivers (B.J. Cunning-ham, Keshawn Martin and Keith Nichol) and three expe-rienced tight ends (Dion Sims, Brian Linthicum and Garrett Celek).

“You start looking and saying, ‘Hey, these are our strengths. Let’s play to them,’ “ Roushar said. “Let’s figure out how we get the ball to Ke-shawn Martin. How do we get it to B.J.? How do we get it into our tight ends?

“I think we’re doing some things that are a little bit dif-ferent. We’re trying to utilize our personnel. But we’ve stayed pretty much the same. We’re trying to present a little different look, and we’ve got a few new wrinkles, but I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary.”

Cunningham is excited about the offense’s potential.

“We’re going to stay bal-anced,” Cunningham said. “But we’re taking more shots down the field in practice. That’s exciting. We’ve got guys that can stretch the field and guys that can go get the ball and make plays. We’ve also got three stud running backs who are going to get the ball and keep us balanced and bring more DBs in the box and get us more man-to-man cover-age. We’re excited for that.

“Coach Tread (was) more of an indirect kind of an ap-proach. Coach Roushar is more in your face let’s go get it.”

New Michigan State coordinator wants balanced offense

Roushar said he had many influences over his career, in-cluding his father, Dan, a high school basketball and football coach, and Bill Mallory, who Roushar played quarterback for at Northern Illinois.

“I’ve just always appreciat-ed his integrity and character and always thought the world of him as a football coach,” Roushar said of Mallory. “He helped shape me as a person.”

Roushar has four children and named one of his daugh-ters Mallory.

Bill Lynch gave Roushar his first crack at being an offen-sive coordinator at Butler in 1989. “I just think he’s a per-fect fit for Michigan State and what they’re doing right now,” Lynch said.

Joe Novak also promoted him to an OC at Northern Il-linois in 1998, and was on Mallory’s staff at NIU when Roushar was the quarterback there.

“If there was a scrap or a little fight on the field, you figured Dan would be in the middle of it,” Novak said.

The Big Ten Network studio crew gets special access to the league’s 12 teams during their preseason tour of football practices.

At Michigan, where they taped their preseason show Thursday, the crew absorbed a bit of the Brady Hoke revival. The episode will air Monday.

For analyst Howard Griffith, who attended along with ana-lyst Gerry DiNardo and host Dave Revsine, it was a return to familiarity.

“The practice tempo (stood out),” said Griffith, who played at Illinois. “I had ex-pectations about what Michi-gan football used to be like. I saw the defense make a play, and everyone rally to the ball, get excited making plays — the subtle things that show they’re listening.

“One thing that was sur-prising was how much coach-ing Brady Hoke was doing, coaching (senior defensive tackle) Mike Martin as hard as

Big Ten Network checks out U-M up-tempo practice

he was coaching the freshmen. . . . That’s a lot different for these guys, especially on the defense. They didn’t get that from the pre-vious coach (Rich Rodriguez).”

But after having seen half of the Big Ten already, Griffith was not ready to anoint the Wolver-ines.

“The skill-position players, they’re right there at the top,” he said. “You don’t need to look any further than Denard Robinson; there’s Roy Roundtree and Junior Hemingway; they have players, like the young defensive backs — they’re as talented there as any teams.

“The difference is, college football, no matter what confer-ence you are in, what your big guys are like. It’s the depth on offensive line and defensive line. That’s where they’re not there yet. . . . You have Mike Martin, who is a tremendous defensive player, but after that, it’s a drop-off.”

The Central Michigan vol-leyball team has a long

road ahead to get into the postseason.

But if it can come into McGuirk Arena on Sept. 29 against Eastern Michigan with a good record, CMU could have a solid case for an at-large bid, if they can’t come away with a Mid-American Conference championship.

CMU starts its 13-match road trip on Friday at the Iowa Invitational.

It will start out playing against the host Iowa, who finished last in a strong Big Ten Conference last season and No. 108 overall.

Next up the Chippewas will play Marquette, who finished with a record of 23-9 and fourth in the Big East.

It finished No. 47 overall, but was denied of the NCAA Tournament.

CMU will finish up the invite with Saint Louis, who finished last season at 19-13 overall, good enough for third in the Atlantic 10 Conference and No. 58 in

the nation.Marquette is a young

team this season with only one senior and three juniors and with this invite being the first of the season, it could be ripe for an upset. CMU could very well come out of this invite at 2-1 with a win over Iowa and an up-set over either Saint Louis or Marquette.

Next up is the Oakland Tournament where CMU finds itself playing Oakland University and Wright State. It should have no problems with either of those teams winning, its first tourna-ment of the season.

The team will continue its road trip and travel to Indi-ana and play in the Butler Tournament.

Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peay and Elon of the Southern Conference had good sea-sons last year, but CMU is stronger.

The big test for the Chip-

pewas is the host Butler, who finished second in the Horizon League at 21-10 and No. 96 in the nation. Butler has a very young team and CMU could very well win this tournament as well as putting them at 7-1 to start the 2011 campaign.

That takes CMU to West Virginia for the Marshall Tournament where they can easily sweep by beating George Mason, East Caroli-na and Marshall. This would give CMU a 10-1 record.

After the MAC Tourna-ment, it heads to California for a match against Long Beach State and UC-Irvine.

Long Beach State was solid last year going to the NCAA Tournament, only to lose to San Diego in the first round.

UC-Irvine struggled last season and should be no problem for CMU as it ends the regular season.

The Chippewas three most important non-con-ference games are against Marquette, Saint Louis and Butler.

If they can win two of those three, they should come out with a non-con-ference record of 11-2.

Not expected to miss any games?

Why?Why has there been no

explanation about the Central Michigan football player that stole a bike?

Good thing it was a “bait bike,” otherwise this guy would possess someone’s bike. Lorenzo White rep-resents CMU football, ath-letics and the students.

Even though he may have paid for his joyride, I still question the message athletics could be sending out without some sort of game suspension.

Has morality and con-duct gone by the wayside?

Theft is theft, first time or not. A CMU athlete needs to set a positive im-age for this community.

CMU athletics should have zero tolerance for this kind of activity. Ath-letes representing this in-stitution and community need to have more than just a court punishment in such cases. Granted there should be leniency, but come on. This is simply stupidity on the athletic department and the uni-versity for allowing this activity to go on with its athletes.

Of course no one could expect us to watch an athlete 24/7, but when a problem arises around an athlete’s actions, then this place should have the decency to set forth with some stronger policy than one that says go ahead and play.

Is it because he is on the football team? Or does it mean any athlete can go steal something on cam-pus and know they can

play for the team at the next game?

Of course, this is only my take on this situation and I may not understand how the internal working of our athletic department works. However, I do know CMU has a student code of conduct and I would think the ath-letes would have something similar.

Perhaps I am wrong and the athletes’ standards at CMU are not a high standard.

I don’t want to see White out for the season or off the team. People do screw up and deserve a second chance.

Hell, I am living proof of a screw up with second chanc-es. But I do have a concern that the message sent here is one that does not fit.

Even I have to accept pun-ishment from employers and people I represented and it sucked, but the message was clear. My stupidity was unaccepted. So athletics or the university should do the same.

I believe this is just one of many coddling incidences from our athletic depart-ment. The message is that CMU athletes can be thieves and still play for the team. Thanks, I am proud to be represented by that stan-dard.

Everyone is accountable. We all need to stand up and ask: what is happening here at CMU? Send a better mes-sage to the community and not one that gives off the im-pression that it’s okay to steal.

The Central Michigan softball team has hired for-mer South Dakota State head coach Joanna Lane as an assistant coach.

As a head coach the past three seasons, Lane’s team set offensive records with the highest batting aver-age, runs scored, doubles, triples and home runs. Lane came on CMU head coach Margo Jonker’s radar when she was an assistant at Northern Illinois.

“I’m very similar to coach Jonker, very firm, we have the same philosophy,” Lane said. “I think we’ll work great together.”

Lane will help as a hit-ting coach for the Chippe-was with her South Dakota State teams having much success.

“I look for power and av-erage,” Lane said. “We have to create opportunities on offense to generate runs.

S t e a l i n g bases, get-ting hits and scoring runs — whatever it takes.”

She isn’t w o r r i e d about mov-ing from head coach to an assistant role and is excited to learn from Jonker and adding her knowledge to the program.

“My goal is just to coach from a successful program,” Lane said.

Lane graduated from Georgetown in 2002, she joins the staff with another new addition of Jenna Al-exander who’s a graduate assistant. Alexander played and was a student coach at Purdue.

“It’s a really exciting op-portunity,” Lane said. “Two new people on the staff. It’s exciting.”

Jonker and Lane will have to focus on replacing vi-tal seniors from last year’s team including Kari Sed-don, Brittini Merchant and Amanda Patrick.

“It’s going to be a little bit of a rebuilding year,” Lane said. “Obviously the goal

every year is to win though. There’s a lot of positions with no returning starters, so there will be competi-tions every day.”

CMU returns Kara Dorn-bos and Molly Coldren, leaders from last season. Coldren has nine more ca-reer home runs than any other player in program his-tory.

If she gets 35 runs batted in next season, she’ll be-come the program leader in that as well. She had 39 last season.

“We do have things to build on,” Lane said. “Mol-ly Coldren is coming off a great season and had a great tournament run.”

Dornbos is a piece the Chippewas can build off of in the circle last year.

Dornbos will be the ace after finishing with a team-best 2.25 earned run aver-age and second team all-conference.

“I’m very excited to come to the program and com-pete for a championship,” Lane said.

The Central Michigan volleyball team showed off its talents for the first time in the Maroon & Gold match Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

With the veteran team battling for positions, the competition was heated during the exhibition.

It didn’t exactly help the coaching staff with the problem of clearing up the depth chart.

“Our separation be-tween setters changes every afternoon and morning,” said head coach Erik Olson. “Be-tween (Hallie) Enderle and (Danielle) Gotham, they both played great and it’s a good problem to have.”

Enderle, a freshman, led the maroon team in kills and blocks in all three games while Go-tham, her setting com-petition was right behind freshman Kaitlyn Mc-Intyre all day in kills.

CMU broke into two different teams with the gold side being all CMU

players and the maroon side consisted of Lisa Johnson and Lauren Krupsky, both graduated last year from the team. Also joining the maroon side was volunteer assis-tant Rodnei Santoes.

The gold team won all three regularly scored matches in the scrim-mage with McIntyre leading the way by re-cording the most kills in all three games.

“(Kaitlyn) McIntyre had a big day in her first match, recording 16 kills which is a big deal for a first day,” Olson said.

The 16 kills came in the third and final match where she also recorded eight digs, three blocks and two assists as her team won the match 15-11.

“I felt really good,” Mc-Intyre said. “The other girls have helped me out a ton and it felt normal.”

Coach Olson wouldn’t mind if McIntyre pro-duced those kind of numbers on a normal basis.

In the first game of the gold team’s sweep, McIntyre recorded 13 kills while senior Kai-tlyn Schultz lead the team in block attempts with five. Sophomore Jenna Coats racked up

Gold shines with win over Maroon

V o l l e y B a l l

JeFF SMith/photo EditorFreshman outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre spikes the ball past two alumni players during the Maroon and Gold match Saturday at the CMU Events Center.

12 digs and senior Catherine Ludwig had 29 assists.

The second game was al-most identical to the first. The same names came up big for the gold team, recording their second straight 25-20 win over

the maroon team.Coach Olson wasn’t only

getting his team ready, he was also preparing the fans so they can help out when CMU play its home opener at McGuirk Arena against in-state rival

Eastern Michigan on Sept. 20.“It was a really great atmo-

sphere,” McIntyre said.”It was really cool. Just running out gave me chills.”

McIntyre and the rest of the volleyball team open up its

regular season Friday when they travel to the University of Iowa to play the Hawkeyes in the first match Iowa Invita-tional.

Competition heated with veteran team

“I was happy with how we started out; we were really fired up,” Stafford said. “Our energy dwindled a little bit as the game went on, but it was good to see the team hang in there and see the game out.”

The Chippewas recorded two shots early on in the match and nearly scored the game’s first goal in the 10th minute when senior defender Liesel Toth played a ball into the box that led to a colli-sion with Detroit goalkeeper, sophomore Nora Abolins.

In the 25th minute coach Stafford inserted junior mid-fielder Ashley Mejilla into the game and just two minutes later she made a difference.

She trapped the ball in the box and crossed it to junior midfielder Autumn Hawkins, who put the ball into the back of the net, just inside the right post.

“Ashley’s a great player and we expect those sorts of things from her,” Stafford said. “She has a sixth sense that allows her to do some things even when she’s not trying to; she’s top notch.”

When the second half be-gan, CMU continued to dic-tate the action. In the 50th minute junior Bailey Bran-don’s shot deflected off of a Detroit defender into the box. The ball bounced right to senior Claire Horton who nearly made it a 2-0 game, but her shot just missed over the crossbar.

Despite the chances, the game was more evenly matched in the second half, with Chippewas outshooting the Titans 6 to 4.

“I think in the second half we got a bit choppy again, and that’s a credit to De-troit,” Stafford said. “I would like to see us clean things up a little bit more.”

He also stressed the im-portance of not relying on his team’s stout defense and continuing to attack the op-posing team’s goal.

“We can’t rely on one po-sition all season,” he said.

“We’ve got to do a better job offensively and create some more chances. I would also like to see us take more ad-vantage of our set pieces be-cause we had an abundance of them in the first half.”

Friday’s win extended CMU’s home unbeaten streak to 25 games, despite his concerns. This win gives the Chippewas something to build off of moving forward.

Junior goalkeeper Stefanie Turner was sharp in the few chances she had and record-ed her first shutout of the season.

soccer|continued from 1B

“I think today’s game went alright,” Turner said. “I didn’t really have to do that much, but I didn’t screw up too bad so it was good.”

CMU’s next game is in Evansville, Ind. at 7 p.m. on Friday against the University of Evansville.

[email protected]

Despite the big shoes to fill, Turner is confident she can handle the pres-sure.

“Last season was huge for me,” Turner said. “I got the privilege to watch Shay and learn from the best, and also got to play a little bit myself.”

Turner appeared in 16 games last season, start-ing in two. She posted a 3-2 record while making 23 saves and allowing just five goals, good enough to record a 0.65 goal against average.

“Last season allowed me to get in there and get my feet under me,” she said. “I think my time last year has really paid off and it makes me very confident going into this season.”

That quiet confidence is something she prides herself on, a trait that according to Turner was something she learned from CMU’s all-time wins leader.

“Shay is the most con-sistent and calm player I have ever seen play the game,” she said. “She’s always solid and

you always know what you’re going to get. She always comes through.”

For the Chippewas to have any success

this season it will have to be Turner who comes through.

One of CMU’s strengths this season will again be its defense, which is led by Turner. She and the rest of the Chippewas got off to a good start in Friday’s season opener against Detroit.

The Chippewas won the match 1-0, with Turner stopping the only shot she faced, recording her first shutout.

“Stefanie does a great job organizing,” head coach Neil Stafford said. “I’m happy that Stefanie gets a shutout because she’s coming into some big shoes with Shay being gone and for her first time here without Shay looking over her shoulder to get a shutout, it’s a credit to her and the way she has trained.”

Turner and team will play next on Fri-day, when they play their first match in a four-game road trip against the University of Evansville.
