Central Michigan University’s board of trustees approved a mo-tion Thursday allowing universi-ty officials to collectively bargain with three of nine union groups on campus.

The Faculty Association, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employ-ees for service maintenance employees, and the Police Of-ficer’s Association of Michigan for police employees contracts all expire on June 30.

Approval of the motion allows university officials to negotiate

new three-year contracts with representatives from the unions.

“What the board approved to-day was for me to negotiate and ratify and sign agreements with three bargaining units,” said Uni-versity President George Ross. “There was frankly some tension (during the) negotiations with the Faculty Association last time. We believe the environment is much more positive this time.”

Ross said he and a few admin-istrators met with representa-tives of the FA bargaining group the day before the board of trustees meeting to discuss open communications.

DIVESTMENT GROUP SILENCED AT

MEETINGStudents asking the Central

Michigan University Board of Trustees to stop accepting money from the oil and coal industry were silenced Wednesday at the Board of Trustees Student Liaison meeting.

Students of the divestment movement were originally on the meeting agenda to speak to the board about divesting from companies that contribute to climate change but were dropped from the agenda.

Student Government Association President Marie Reimers had no comment when asked why the group was dropped from the agenda.

“We had people who were coming to talk about divestment, but we had to tell them we were dropped from the agenda,” said senior Mariah Urueta, a representative of the divestment group and SGA House leader. “Jarret Schlaff , the midwest coordinator for the divestment movement was coming tonight, but we had to tell him not to come.”

The group attempted to stage a peaceful protest outside the meeting in the Bovee University Center, handing out fl iers and holding a banner that read “Divest CMU for our future,” but were told by Shaun Holtgreive, executive director of student life and campus aff airs, that they were not permitted to protest inside the building and could face an automatic suspension if anyone fi led a complaint.

The group plans to have a representative speak on the group’s behalf during public comments at the Board of Trustees meeting Feb. 20.

Tuned UpAca-Chips concert attendance reaches nearly 1,000

By Kate WoodruffStaff Reporter

From the front row looking back, there wasn’t an empty seat in Plachta Auditorium as students, faculty and Mount Pleasant residents gathered to hear an a capella collaboration by the name “Aca-Chips.”

The concert, made possible by the Central Michigan University Program Board, was a collaboration of the three a capella groups on CMU’s campus, including Central Harmony, On The Rox and Fish N Chips.

Audience members were encour-aged to tweet the hashtag #AcaChips to be displayed on the screen on stage as students were excited and anxious for what this fi rst concert of this kind would bring.

One of those students was Cheboy-gan junior Morgan Mills.

“It will be really cool to see how these groups work together,” Mills said before the show. “The audience will get to see how each group is di� erent, but see how they all come together through music.”

After a short introduction by Pro-gram Board Event Coordinator Josh Palmer, Central Harmony took the stage and excitement fi lled the room.

The group began with a play-ful version of “The Circle of Life,” with one of the front and center members holding a stu� ed Simba. The group’s fun and playful nature didn’t end there. It continued through their renditions of, “I Can Go the Distance,” “Come On Eileen” and the audience was clap-ping and singing along to Queen’s “Somebody to Love.”

The group showcased their amaz-ing range through both male and female solos and leads, displayed especially in their performances of Coldplay’s, “Paradise” and OneRepub-lic’s, “Counting Stars.”

A capella magic continued with the 16-member all-female group On The Rox, who took the stage in classy black attire and captivated the audi-ence with their fi rst song, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

“We were encouraged yesterday when the bar-gaining committee of the Faculty Association asked to meet,” he said. “(We have a) commitment on both parts of the Fac-ulty Association and the university so we can have a positive environment. From the administrative standpoint, we are going to improve our commu-nications. I’m looking forward to it.”

Board of trustees chair-man William Kanine said he believes negotiations between the unions and employers are an important part of the work process.

“As a trustee, I think unions and bargaining are a part of the business on campus,” Kanine said. “I don’t think it has to be contentious. There’s two sides that believe strongly in something and they’ve got to sit down and work

it out. However that is de-fined, I think we’re doing good things.”

The FA held protests in 2011 during the last round of contract negotiations. The faculty body also threatened to strike dur-ing this period where they were supported by the Union of Teaching Faculty on campus during their work stoppage.

Both sides of the ne-gotiations are trying to communicate better than they did last time, Kanine said. He believes better practices can get the ne-gotiations done faster and done right.

Ross hopes to have his negotiating team together within the next two weeks so the bargaining teams can meet soon and start talking contracts.

The group continued with a song made famous by contem-porary artist, Calvin Harris, “Sweet Nothing,” which dis-played their ability to produce perfect harmonies.

On The Rox upheld their reputation of greatness with their renditions of Justin Timberlake’s, “Mirrors,” Neon Trees’, “Everybody Talks” and Muse’s, “Madness.”

The crowd’s energy up until this point was unparalleled. That is, until Fish N Chips took stage.

With their matching blue button up shirts and khaki pants, the audience was swoon-ing before their performance even began.

Beginning with the crowd fa-vorite, “Isn’t She Lovely?” the all-male group provoked screams and cheers from the crowd.

This continued with the performance of Marvin Gaye’s, “Let’s Get It On” and Bell Biv DeVoe’s, “Poison.” The group separated itself with the per-formance of rap artist, Drake’s, “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” as they stomped on the stage to provide a beat.

The group danced, swayed and moved about the stage and screams from the crowd were in high supply.

Fish N Chips ended its performance by inviting their alumni to join them on the stage for their classic rendi-tion of, “Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel.

The show ended with a breathtaking collaboration by the three groups with Penta-

tonix’s, “Run To You,” which led to a standing ovation by a pleased crowd.

Students were overwhelm-ingly positive in their reactions to Aca-Chips and recognized the enthusiasm of each group.

Palmer was pleased with the turnout of the concert, which was projected at 800, but was just shy of 1,000.

“I would say this was an extremely successful collabora-tion that brought the CMU a ca-pella community together and provided great entertainment,” Palmer said. “The purpose of the event was to provide quality entertainment, but it also gave each of the groups that per-formed an opportunity to gain an even larger audience.”

The groups were happy to collaborate and each said they would gladly participate in future Aca-Chips events.

Wardrop replaces Opperman on CMURC board

By Sean BradleySenior Reporter

The Central Michigan Uni-versity Research Corporation’s Board of Directors gained a new member Thursday.

The CMU Board of Trustees approved Trustee Robert Wardrop to replace Sarah Opperman, who will take a seat on the develop-ment board of the CMU Research Corporation.

University President George Ross said Wardrop brings many different per-spectives to the CMURC.

“Not only as an academic, but he is a practicing attor-ney,” Ross said. “He’s han-dled business clients over the years. He’s a Michigan professional. He’s an alum of this university.”

Wardrop obtained a bach-elor’s degree in math and later obtained a master’s degree in economics, even teaching economics for two years, the board of trustee’s website said.

Board of trustees chairman William Kanine said Ward-rop will be a great fi t for the CMURC Board of Directors.

“I think Trustee Wardrop is tremendously qualified and has an experienced skill set,” Kanine said. “The abil-ity to get along with people, the ability to understand the issues that are going to be

faced by that organization.”He said the organization

thrives best as a whole and not when focused on one person’s contributions.

Kanine added Opper-man’s new position on the CMURC development board will be a better fit for her than a position on the CMURC Board of Directors.

“It’s just a matter of time commitment and priori-ties,” Kanine said. “She still works. She retired from Dow but runs a consulting company, travels a lot and dedicates a lot of time to the university.”

Opperman, a 1981 gradu-ate of CMU with an under-graduate degree in journal-

ism, is also a member of the CMU Journalism Hall of Fame, inducted in 2006.

Beyond journalism, Op-perman retired from Dow Chemical Corporation in 2009 after a 28-year career with the Midland-head-quartered company.

StudentS Shave their headS for

cancer awareneSSMore than 50 students lined

up in the Towers on Wednesday to get an extreme haircut for oth-ers to remember.

To raise cancer awareness for sufferers and survivors, 52 students, including nine women, had their hair cut off for the sec-ond annual “Bald is Beautiful.”

The project was inspired by a similar event held last year that was based on the Miles of Smiles Foundation where peo-ple send before and after photos of themselves after cutting their hair off for cancer awareness to raise the moral of those battling the disease.

“It was a great turnout,” said Leroy freshman Josh Gostlin, the organizer of the event. “I wish it could have been bigger with more hype.”

Gostlin said he wanted stu-dents to be more aware of how cancer affects people, speaking from his own experience having multiple cancer survivors in his family.

Kyle Croft, a Grand Blanc freshman, was one of the 52 who cut their hair and later ral-lied other students in the hall to follow suit.

“We couldn’t have done it without the help of the council,” Gostlin said.

‘Step afrika!’ comeS to cmu

monday“Stomp the Yard” fans rejoice.

Step Afrika! will be stepping onto a stage at Central Michigan University.

Students can see the stepping company at 7 p.m. Monday in Plachta Auditorium as part of Black History Month.

“Step Afrika! goes around the country and performs step exhibitions,” said D’Wayne Jenkins, assistant director of cul-tural programming for multicul-tural academic student services. “There are some educational portions to the show and it is very entertaining.”

The group is the first profes-sional company in the world dedicated to the tradition of stepping.

“I like to provide a good combination of education and entertainment for students,” Jen-kins said. “I feel that is the best way for students to learn.”

“Step Afrika!” is evolving the dance to include modern styles, such as tap, modern and hip hop.

Today, stepping can be found in churches, community organi-zations and colleges around the country, including CMU.

Saginaw graduate student Jus-tin McMillan has been stepping since the ninth grade and now participates in the activity with his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi.

As a group of volunteer coordinators paced the kitchen, everyone had a job to do.

The morning shift at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, located on 621 S. Adams St., was filled with work-ers preparing the noon meal. By 11 a.m., a second shift of volunteers was ready to serve lunch, clad in aprons, hats and hairnets.

Elwell resident Tom Swan said he came in with his wife and invited some long-time-no-see friends to dine with them at the kitchen.

“This is one of the best places for senior citizens and people in need in Mount Pleasant to come and hang out,” Swan said. “At my first visit here, I was expecting a lot of people walking around with canes, but that isn’t the case.”

Mount Pleasant resident Tony Marti-nez, used to go to school with Swan. He said it was like a family reunion with the well-known faces in attendance.

One of those faces was Rita Erskin, Swan’s sister-in-law.

“Most people come for coffee and its a great place to hang out with friends,” Erskin said.

Stories and reasons for coming to the soup kitchen vary.

For volunteers, it might be a require-ment for an organization at Central Michigan University or for court-ordered community service. Volunteer

coordinators are the regulars who train each new volunteer.

Morning shift volunteers help bring in deliveries from different restau-rants who donate their leftovers to the kitchen. A shout of “Delivery!” from the back door signals workers to help unload the vehicle.

A loaded delivery truck dropped off food and supplies from Lil’ Chef, three days after the local restaurant closed down. Volunteers pitched in, despite the bitter cold, bringing in the supplies to be sorted.

Volunteer coordinator Lisa Lull totaled the weight of the load into a calculator.

Olive Garden donates leftover soups to the kitchen as well, however, Wednesday’s soup was altered due to a lack of supplies. The soup became a mixture of soups donated from other restaurants.

A schedule determines the main meal of the day, which helps coordinators decide what to prepare. When there is a lack of supplies, the schedule is altered based on the coordinator’s preferences and experience with known recipes.

The only full meal the soup kitchen serves is lunch, though it provides cof-fee and snacks for breakfast as well.

Second shift volunteers serve the lunch, allowing leftovers to be carried out in donated peanut butter jars and other donated containers.

Nigerian-born author Chris Abani discussed how art has captured sad-ness and loss throughout the ages Wednesday during his keynote ad-dress for Black History Month.

“There is nothing sadder than a photograph,” said the award-winning author. “It is a reminder of that which we no longer have. It is a thing that is already gone even as we catch it.”

There is even opportunity to learn from the carvings Abani found dur-ing his travels throughout the world. From train cars carrying people to concentration camps in Germany, to markings above doors in former slave quarters in the south, Abani said people mark things to create memo-ries.

“In this, I think we can agree,” he said. “To create that memory is to turn away from that moment, to remove oneself from the moment and to turn that into transformation. We know that it is (a) foolish ritual.”

Ritual is important to Abani though. Art is one ritual that he tries to help create because it links people together in ways he can’t explain.

“When we speak of art giving wit-

Author shares emotional tales of art, loss and experienceness,” he said, “we usually mean we are trying to give full address to its ability to express the things that are often inexpressible such as the oc-casional terror, pain, destruction and eraser.”

The Nigerian author has been writ-ing since he was 16, finding passion early in life. He has even been jailed for his work. Abani said he’s learned a lot about himself and the world around him from the reactions to his work.

“(Being jailed) was actually an accident,” he said. “Just some minor torture. The universe has a way of set-ting things in your path to make you a more compassionate person.”

Author Jimmy Baldwin helped Abani find his voice with writing.

He has taken on different subjects that others might not want to tackle, including race and class.

“I’m a big man with a small voice,” Abani said Wednesday. “My work never shies away from difficult sub-jects. The African mindset is like ‘this and that’ instead of ‘this or that’ in the western mindset.”

D’Wayne Jenkins, the assistant director for Multicultural Academic Student Services on campus, said he was grateful Abani could step in at the

last minute after the original keynote speaker canceled.

“We do appreciate Dr. Abani for coming on such short notice,” he said. “Lee Daniels had something that came up. He is currently in Japan.”

Jenkins said he enjoyed Abani’s talk because it brings perspective from all over the world to the community.

“I’m always interested in different view-points in the world,” he said. “It allows students to see different chal-lenges in the world. (Abani) is always striving for better in life and never lets set-backs keep him down.”

EDITORIAL | Co-ed intramaural rules need updating

To share your opinion on this editorial, or any topics related to published workin CM Life, send your viewsto [email protected].

This manifests in varying degrees, but ulti-mately makes their contributions either manda-tory or of higher consequence than that of their male counterparts. This is designed to guard them against inequalities.

These guidelines are unnecessary and reinforce negative stereotypes about women competing against men in athletics.

Although these rules were put in place with good intentions, to create equality and participa-tion among men and women in IM sports, isn’t the idea that women need extra help to be equal contradictory to the meaning of equality?

Equality is not looking at an athlete as less be-cause of their gender, one needing a crutch in or-der to perform at the same level. In many cases, female athletes are more skilled than males.

Advantages range from simply having female scores count for additional points, or having a mandatory number of female participants, to a more complex set of rules that can make the sport unnecessarily difficult.

For example, in flag football, not only must there be an equal number of men and women on the field, but men and women have to connect on every other completion in what’s known as “open” and “closed” plays. In softball, pitchers must be of opposite gender as the catcher they pitch to.

The tangled web of other gender-based regula-tions have left players confused.

Assuredly, some might find them annoying, but at what point does the game suffer for a compul-sory effort to make things “equal?”

It can be insulting to be given unnecessary advantages and treated as if it is being done as a service to women.

Women who play co-ed IM sports know what they are signing up for. They don’t need coddling. Like any other athlete on the playing surface, we believe what is truly fair is equality across the gender spectrum.

The gender-focused rules can also make it uncomfortable for individuals who don’t fall under the gender binary, forcing game officials to decide which gender rules to use in those situa-tions.

We are not alone in this sentiment. Steps to change rules in IM sports have been taken in the past and students do exhibit some degree of con-trol if they are vocal enough.

Scott George, head of IM sports at Central Michigan University, said of the 200 to 300 spring sports performance surveys sent out, few people have stepped forward with complaints.

Surveys sent out by IM sports largely go unan-swered by participants with issues.

We challenge students who disagree with the gender rule advantages to voice their opinions by means of the survey.

Our inquiry into the issue put us in contact with several passionate protesters of the gender bias rules, including one IM soccer team actively fighting them by requesting each game to play without them.

If the desire is out there, students should be more vocal.

Change cannot occur silently.

I am not a smoker. I think the idea of filling your lungs with hundreds of potentially danger-ous chemicals and carcinogens, risking pulmonary complica-tions.

That being said, I vehemently oppose Central Michigan University’s new tobacco-free policy.

Central Michigan Life report-ed in October on the passage of this new policy, which takes effect July 1.

The tobacco free initiative will prohibit all forms of to-bacco on campus, including tra-ditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, pipes, cigars, hookahs, waterpipes, snus and snuff.

Tobacco will soon only be permitted in privately-owned vehicles with closed windows.

When I read about the policy, specifically this portion, I laughed out loud.

So you can still smoke, as long as you are only slowly killing yourself in a closed environ-ment with no ventilation?

Let me also clarify the pun-ishment for violating the policy. Smokers will now simply be asked to stop. It is part of what CMU calls a “good neighbor initiative.”

That is not at all an effective enforcement tactic. It will not deter smokers.

The real punishment will come later when these people develop cancer or emphysema.

In a campus-wide survey conducted in February 2013, 70 percent of the nearly 4,500 stu-dents, staff and faculty favor a smoke or tobacco-free campus.

Are you kidding me, CMU?The current smoking policy,

which permits smoking no less than 25 feet from any university building entrance or exit, is ineffective — and this one will be too.

It is not CMU’s duty as an institution of higher education to tell people whether they can or cannot smoke. The univer-sity needs to get back to what it does best and what each student pays thousands of dollars for — education.

Limiting the freedoms of the very students that keep the uni-versity running and playing dad is not helping the situation.

People are going to smoke regardless of what policy is implemented, the same way people under 21 are always go-ing to drink.

Being healthy is popular. It makes us look good. I get that. But why limit the freedoms of our students?

If someone wants to inhale an extremely harmful product for pleasure, slowly destroying their organs and causing perma-nent health damage, then by all means let them.

You don’t need to be their parent and tell them what they can and cannot do. It’s not the university’s role to limit personal liberties and it never should be.

me, CMU?

POINT

Central Michigan University will soon be joining nearly 800 schools nationwide to fight against the unhealthy effects of smoking by going tobacco-free on July 1.

It’s exactly the direction we need to be heading in.

If students take the policy seriously, it will become a healthier and cleaner campus for both our current and future students to live and learn.

The policy was created after sending a survey to students, faculty and staff across cam-pus — and the results speak volumes. About 70 percent of those surveyed favored the ban.

If a majority of students are ready to make a commitment to creating a healthier environ-ment, the university is making a good decision by represent-ing the voice of the students.

It’s a democratic decision.After the tobacco-free policy

is in effect, cigarettes, e-cig-arettes and chewing tobacco will be prohibited from CMU property, with the exception of privately owned vehicles.

When entering and exiting buildings on campus, non-smokers will no longer have to unnecessarily breath in second-hand smoke.

By eliminating all tobacco products, CMU will be clear of the litter that tobacco inevita-bly leaves behind.

No more butts will clut-ter our sidewalks or fill our ashtrays.

In addition to creating a healthier learning and living environment, CMU will also be doing its part to decrease our environmental footprint, reducing the amount of waste our students create on a daily basis.

By changing the current policy, CMU shows it is in-vested in making the university a healthier place to learn. And with the help of students, staff and faculty, campus can be a better place to be.

The plan lacks any real en-forcement — but it shouldn’t be an issue.

By relying on a “good neigh-bor initiative” to encourage others to abide by the policy, we can count on each other to keep campus smoke-free.

Those who choose not to follow the policy will not only lessen the threshold for a healthy learning environment, but they will encourage new students to violate the rules as well.

In order to create a healthy environment for students, staff and faculty, the responsibility to abide by and to enforce the policy lies on the entire cam-pus community.

William Kanine grew up like many young men, loving sports and dreaming that one day he might be a profes-sional athlete.

Despite all of his success as a personal certifi ed accoun-tant, Kanine never dreamed he’d one day be chairman of Central Michigan Univer-sity’s Board of Trustees.

Kanine was elected to lead the governing body in Decem-ber. He replaced former board chairman and trustee Brian Fannon, and served the posi-tion for the fi rst time during Thursday’s board of trustees meeting.

“I was very honored and still am,” Kanine said on being appointed. “I told the nomi-nating committee I was happy to serve in any capacity.”

Kanine, 55, is a native of Shepard and CMU alumnus. He majored in accounting dur-ing his time as a student at the university. He now resides in Petoskey with his family and is a certifi ed public accountant at William R. Kanine P.C. Certi-fi ed Public Accountants.

Among the many challenges that face CMU, specifi cally enrollment growth, Kanine said sharing success stories like his and others are key to bolstering a new student body – whether they show up as athletes or accountants.

“We have an obligation to get more CMU success stories out there,” Kanine said. “I’ve

always appreciated every-thing I got from CMU.”

Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Kanine to the board of trustees in 2011. Before that, Kanine served as chairman of the faculty and liaison commit-tee, as well as the facilities and fi nances committee.

Throughout his time as a trustee, Kanine said he has labored to champion the reputation of CMU through thoughtful leadership and open communication between the board and the students, faculty and sta� they serve.

“Everything in my life has been better because of my education,” he said. “The issues and challenges that we will face will require more commu-nication and more listening.”

Other trustees, such as Tri-cia Keith, attest to Kanine’s love for his alma mater and his innate ability to promote discussion.

“(Kanine) makes sure he understands an issue before moving forward, and he always seeks innovative (ap-proaches to those) solutions,” Keith said.

Keith was a member of the nominating committee for the chair position. She said she and others on the com-

mittee gave him the position because of his dedication to the university.

Aside from his a� nity for CMU and his personable de-meanor, Kanine’s background in fi nance has helped him wade the waters as a public o� cial.

Blain Russell, former president, CEO and current trustee at Alden State Bank, has been a client of Kanine’s for nearly 30 years.

In the time that he’s known him, Russell said Kanine has always been on top of his game when it comes to fi nance, even when Kanine was fresh out of college.

“If he didn’t know an answer, he would fi nd it and explain it to you in layman’s terms,” Russell said. “He is an expert in his fi eld because he puts in the time. He’s really good at putting people at ease so that they aren’t so uptight about things.”

Kanine’s mother, Karen, said her son was a late bloomer to fi nance. She said his interest in fi nance was spurred in his senior year of high school when he was in-troduced to it through book-keeping and accounting.

Central Michigan University President George Ross praised the state of the athletics depart-ment following the fi rst CMU Board of Trustees meeting of the 2014 calendar year.

“I’m not being trite when I say that Dave Heeke is the best ath-letic director in America,” Ross said. “For him, championship culture goes way beyond wins.”

Trustee William Weideman said an internal audit commit-tee found CMU football met the 15,000 attendance mark required for Division-I standing in both 2012 and 2013.

The turnout fi gure encom-passes both paid for and actual attendance numbers.

“There is an option to count both the number of the fans in the seats and also the purchased seats,” Ross said. “I see lots of community members at games. I don’t, however, see the student commitment that I’d like to see. I am frankly disappointed that whether we are winning or los-ing, they disappear at halftime.”

Heeke said CMU’s athletics

depart-ment continues to pursue more methods of getting fans to come to games – and keep-ing them there.

“We look at the schedule the (Mid-Amer-ican Conference) hands us and then try to create attractive ticket options,” Heeke said. “It’s a nationwide issue. Attendance is a concern for all in college football. We are all struggling.”

Ross challenged the student body to show more support for CMU athletic events, regardless of weather conditions or the season standings of Chippewas teams.

Board of Trustees Chairman William Kanine said he was thankful for being able to watch CMU football games from a luxury box.

“Some of those games were very cold,” Kanine said. “Had I

not been in the booth, I would have been with some of those students saying ‘hey, I gotta get to some warmth.’ I support our teams just as much as our students do.”

Kanine also addressed stu-dent-athletes behaviors o� the fi eld, which has been an issue for various men’s and women’s CMU sports team.

“Just because you are CMU athlete doesn’t mean you are destined for success,” he said. “ You have to work for it. The environment here demands excellence. Mistakes are made and then they are corrected. You can’t fault a kid because he makes a mistake.”

Ross said he holds every CMU student to the same stan-dard of conduct.

“Overall, a large part of our students are good citizens,” Ross said. “They are also a microcosm of the world in which we live. I expect people to own their mistakes. I don’t care whether you are a student athlete or an accounting major.”

Construction of the new Biosciences Building is set to begin in July and is predicted to take less time than previ-ously thought.

“I’m happy to report our completion date has been moved forward by four months,” said Stephen Lawrence, vice president of Facilities Management, Thursday at Central Michi-gan University’s board of trustees meeting. “Working with our construction man-agement company and fi ve of our key subcontractors, we’ve determined we can get this project done a little quicker. Quicker means spending less money and a lot of the basic costs you have to spend while on a construction site, so that’s good news.”

Lawrence also presented updates on the Campus Master Plan process. The presentation included up-dates to master plan propos-als based on input garnered from two, week-long open forums, or charrettes. Pro-posed changes to the Biosci-ences Building and Warriner Mall were a main focus for the two forums.

A charrette, or forum, will be held in March to discuss possible changes to the Anspach quad, the Admis-sions Walk, and the Botanical Gardens, Lawrence said.

Proposed Warriner Mall changes sparked strong nega-tive reactions from students and alumni on social media, and included threats of protests. The proposal would move the trees to sidelines of the park area, creating an open, football fi eld-like park in front of Warriner Hall.

“Let’s not kid anybody, these change are always tough for somebody,” said Board of Trustees Chairman William Kanine. “It doesn’t mean it’s bad or not good, it’s just a matter of ‘you’ve got to wait and see how it plays out.’ These are very design oriented thought processes.”

TRUSTEES APPROVE FUNDING FOR ACTIVE LEARNING ROOMS

Trustees approved $1.5 million in funding to trans-formation of Dow 108 and Dow 135 into technological-ly-inclined active learning rooms. The funding comes from the College of Science and Technology, the Aca-demic Division Fund and the University Reserve Fund, said Provost Michael Gealt.

“Through the use of these classrooms, the active learn-ing process is one that has been shown over the years to be much more successful in terms of student suc-cess,” Gealt said. “We believe these classrooms will help us retain students, especially

freshman to sophomore year, but also throughout the entire curriculum.”

He said the cost of the rooms, which could be in use for the fall 2014 semester, is split almost evenly for tech-nology and the modifi cation of the infrastructure of the rooms.

Trustee Robert Wardrop said the approval of the proj-ect’s funding aligns with the university’s priorities.

“It does hit on our prior-ity number one, which is student success under the strategic priorities,” Wardrop said.

Sheldon Lowman, a transfer stu-dent from Mid-Michigan Commu-nity College and walk-on player for the men’s basketball team, was not present for Central Michigan’s game against Ball State on Wednesday.

The sophomore was absent from the game day roster and was deleted from the team’s official online roster.

Head coach Keno Davis de-clined comment on Lowman’s sta-tus Wednesday. CMU athletic communications also declined comment.

The guard appeared in six games for the Chippewas this season, , but hasn’t played in a game since Jan. 3 due to a knee injury.

Lowman, could not be reached for comment.

In intramural sports, women can be some of the most dangerous scor-ers, but not for the reason students would expect.

Some students participating in co-ed IM sports find issue with the gender-biased rules in several sports that give female players advantages.

Scott George, head of intramural sports at Central Michigan, said the rules force both genders to be involved equally and prevent strat-egizing against genders.

Others see it differently.“I have played IM sports ever since

coming to Central, and it has been a big part of my experience here, but I am bothered by the gender-based scoring systems,” said Kelsey Friberg, a Caledonia junior. “Compensating

for girls’ innate inability to match male athletic superiority by making their achievement mean more, as a female, I find it sexist.”

In some co-ed sports such as dodgeball and basketball, the rules are intended to even the number of men and women on the playing sur-face. For others, the rules become more complicated.

“I played co-ed softball and there were so many rules that were differ-ent for each gender, I honestly didn’t even know the rules,” said Grand Rapids sophomore Lindsey Rebholz. “I like the idea of gender rules, but it becomes complicated.”

In co-ed IM softball, a male is awarded two bases on a walk, the pitcher and catcher must be differ-ent genders and there has to be even gender distribution in the outfield.

In flag football, women touch-

downs count as nine points while men’s count as six. Passes must also be to receivers of alternate genders on every other completion.

In indoor hockey and soccer, goals scored by women count as two in comparison to men’s one-point goals.

“We haven’t had many (gender-bi-ased complaints),” George said. “For spring sports, we sent out a survey, we have done that for the past two years and that is how we get most of our responses. Out of probably 200 to 300, we only had one or two people complain about scoring in indoor soccer.”

If students wish to change the rules, George said they will need to step up and be more vocal. If the rules are to be changed, there has to be overwhelming feedback.

Big game Braylon

Rayson shows promise with 30-point night despite injury

Sheldon LowmanBy Neil RosanStaff Reporter

There was little doubt Braylon Rayson had potential to do great things coming into the 2013-14 men’s basketball season.

The Dallas native was a McDon-ald’s All-American nominee and earned All-State honors during his senior season at West Mesquite High School.

After a 30-point effort in Wednesday’s triple-overtime win against Ball State, Rayson showed fans a glimpse into a potentially bright future.

“He is a scorer and has confi-dence,” said head coach Keno Davis. “We have confidence in him because he continues to develop his game and understand more of the intrica-cies of how to be able to score and how to be able to defend. He’s going

to be one of those guys that you look at night-in and night-out on the stat sheet and he is filling it up.”

Rayson didn’t make his first start for Central Michigan until Jan. 15 against Bowling Green. He averaged 9.7 points per game leading into Wednesday’s contest, but that didn’t stop his teammates from pumping him up.

Baseball looks to fix bullpen struggles

By Kristopher LodesStaff Reporter

Central Michigan baseball did not get off to the start it wanted, losing all four games at UNLV last weekend.

If the team wants to improve its record at Troy this weekend, it will need more consistency out of the bullpen and from its starting pitchers.

The Trojans are 3-1 and coming off an opening week that saw seven home runs, a .535 slugging percent-age and .303 team batting average.

“We had inconsistency (in the bullpen),” said head coach Steve Jaksa following his team’s sweep. “I thought a couple of guys would throw better than they did, I’m not going to get on specific names, but that is something we’re going to work on in that bullpen.”

Senior left-handed pitcher Kenton San Miguel and junior right-handed pitcher Tim Black were the only Chippewas to make multiple appearances last weekend, showcasing CMU’s inconsistency.

San Miguel relieved junior ace Jordan Foley in the open-ing game and threw 1.1 innings. He allowed one hit and no runs while striking out two. In his second outing, he allowed an unearned run while giving up one hit and two walks.

San Miguel relieved Black in game four. Black hit the first bat-ter he faced with a pitch, sending in a run.

“We’re going down to win, there’s no

question in my mind.”

Jerry Reighard, CMU head gymnastics coach

“Chris (Fowler) was telling me about the other guard on (BSU), the freshman, and he told me to go at him tonight,” Rayson said. “I competed with him and we ended up getting the win.”

Rayson started the game by shooting 3-of-4 from the fl oor and leading the Chippewas with nine points. At one point during the opening half, the freshman was subbed off and taken to the locker room to receive treatment. It was later revealed he suff ered a dislo-cated fi nger.

“It bothered me and I needed to take some pain pills, but my adrenaline was pumping and I know my team needed the win,” Rayson said.

He played through the pain and was rewarded with eight second-half points. In the third overtime, Rayson really shined. The guard scored 11-straight points, which turned a tie game into a 96-89 lead.

“He closed the game for us,” Fowler said. “He took the ball in his hands and he took the shots we needed him to take.”

Even though he was injured, Rayson kept his energy high, which impressed his coach.

“Each overtime that came, the attitude was great, but we saw guys didn’t have as much

left,” Davis said in his post-game press conference. “Now, Braylon Rayson did. He’s one of those players who could play another game right now. He’s got that kind of energy.”

Rayson’s energy is not his key attribute, Davis added.

“If you talk about confi dence on this team, you would have to start with Braylon Rayson before anybody,” Davis said. “He is incredibly confi dent in his ability, that he can score at any time, on anyone. We need to make sure his fi eld goal per-centage stays up and he realizes what his strong suit is; being able to score.”

George said this season, two participants came to him at the IM soccer captains meeting and said they didn’t agree with the gender-biased rules. He said they wanted their co-ed team to count fe-male and male goals equally.

One of them was the IM soccer team known as “The Proper Nouns.” Lakeview senior Sean Bannen, who was the captain for his team, made the argument for co-ed

rule equality at a captain’s meeting.

“I see why they count two goals in the beginning because of the cultural myth that (women) are inferior at physical sports,” Bannen said. “It was trying to give them a chance to play in the game and to be valued team mem-bers. I just felt that is was perpetuating that cultural myth by awarding them more goals; instead there needs to be a drive to recognize the equality all across.”

In competition against team ROTC, their opponent agreed to the counting all goals as one point before

kickoff and “The Proper Nouns” plan to continue to push for changing gender rules.

Through surveys and discussion boards on IM-Leagues.com, the offi cial website for IM sports, stu-dents can be vocal about what rules they want to change.

“I think I am more than capable playing with Mr. super-serious IM stud,” Frib-erg said. “And even if not, I’d rather lose by equality than win by compensation.”

Junior forward Jas’Mine Bracey jumps to tip the ball at the start of the game at the Stroh Center on Wednesday. CMU lost to Bowling Green 55-67.

By Joe JuddStaff Reporter

Women’s basketball felt the sting of a conference loss for the fi rst time, Wednesday after months of being the dominant team in the Mid-American Conference.

Bowling Green finally tar-nished Central Michigan’s perfect MAC record,winning 67-55 in their second meet-ing this season.

Home-court advantage has off ered consistency in the series this season, with CMU beating BGSU in Mount Pleasant earlier in the year. The Stroh Center crowd has been known as a hostile environment throughout the conference, causing adver-sity for any team that enters through its doors.

CMU head coach Sue Guevara said her team did not rise to the occasion in the environment. It is something it will need to improve on if it wants to be successful and win the MAC tournament, which will be CMU’s only shot at punching a ticket to the big dance.

“I think we have to work on the mental aspect of the game and I’ve got to push (the team) and make them really mad in practice – call some really bad fouls to see how they’re going to react to it,” Guevara said. “We have got to do a better

BGSU snaps Chippewas 12-game MAC win streakjob at retreating and not just ring someones hip, by squaring our hips up.”

The Chippewas were able to keep Wednesday’s game competitive through the first half of play, but stumbled out of the gate af-ter halftime. In the second, junior forward Jas’Mine Bracey scored a lay-up with 18:06 remaining but the team went cold afterward, not making another basket until the 11:57 mark.

“We lost the game in the first three minutes of the second half where we got outscored 13-4,” Guevara said. “We gave up too many easy lay-ups because of (BGSU) penetration.”

The winning streak started after a loss to Dayton in late December. CMU’s 3-point shooting was strong on the stretch.

In Black’s fi rst outing in game three, he came in follow-ing CMU’s eight-run seventh inning, giving the team an 8-7 lead. However, the lead did not last as Black allowed four runs — one earned — on four hits before an eighth inning

where he took the Rebels down in order.

Junior closer Matt Trow-bridge never got a chance for the save, but did make an appearance. He walked two batters and was replaced.

Sophomore left-handed pitcher Jimmy McNamara saw time last weekend, al-lowing three hits, a run, a walk and two doubles. Fellow sophomore right-hander Jason Gamble pitched 2.2 in-

nings and allowed one walk, a hit and an unearned run.

“There were a few guys who threw well and (a) few guys that didn’t,” Jaksa said. “That’s an area (that’s) still a work in progress.”

Combined, the bullpen went 0-1 last weekend with a 4.09 ERA, allowing 11 hits, 11 walks and six strikeouts.

By Taylor DesOrmeauStaff Reporter

Central Michigan gymnas-tics doesn’t have time to sulk about it’s undefeated record last weekend.

For the second-straight week, the Chippewas will square-o� against ranked competition.

No. 14 Illinois will host No. 19 CMU and No. 23 Ohio State at 3 p.m. Sunday in a meet that Chippewas head coach Jerry Reighard said is up for grabs.

“We’re going down to win, there’s no question in my mind,” Reighard said. “Statistically, we are right in the same ballpark with Illinois and probably ahead of Ohio State. It totally depends on all three teams, who shows up.”

All three teams average team scores within seven-tenths of each other. CMU has the high-est score between the teams (196.6).

The Chippewas begin the meet on the uneven bars — the event that led to their down-fall Sunday against Kent State

where three gymnasts scored a 9.325 or less.

“(Trying to be perfect) is risky on bars,” Reighard said. “You’ve got to do everything at absolute vertical, and if it goes the wrong way, as it did for Karlee (Teet) and (Taylor) Noonan, it’s really hard to make up from. But, if you’re not in that absolute vertical position, you can’t get a 10.”

Instead of changing the line-up on bars, the Chippewas are looking to reorder the lineup, a change Reighard likes.

Sophomore Taylor Bolender was one of three gymnasts to succeed on bars against KSU, scoring a 9.825 to go along with the 9.925 she earned for her fl oor routine. Bolender was named Mid-American Confer-ence Specialist of the Week for her performance last Sunday. She said the award was little consolation for the loss.

“It’s exciting, but at the same time, it’s hard to celebrate these things when we still didn’t win,” Bolender said. “We’re just ready to get back out there and fi ght

and come back even stronger, not letting it a� ect us and we’re not dwelling on it.”

Reighard said seeking ven-geance is not a smart strategy in gymnastics.

“We can’t get angry,” Reighard said. “You can get an-gry in a contact sport where you need to be physically aggressive. We need to be in a performance mode and in our sport. If you’re trying for revenge, then you’re thinking about what happened in the past and you’re not in the present.”

Even though Reighard de-scribed Sunday’s defi cit as “in-surmountable,” and described Monday as “pretty painful,” multiple Chippewas said the team has moved on.

“We didn’t let that a� ect our practice, a� ect our pride, our drive,” said junior Kylie Fagan. “It motivated us even more to do so much better and strive for the MAC championship even further.”
