Charles Mahone was speech-less when he was told he would be representing the students of Central Michigan University next fall as president of the Student Government Association.

Mahone and running mate Mariah Urueta were elected SGA president and vice president with 75 percent of the total vote in the 2014 SGA elections, which ended Friday at midnight.

“I feel so blessed and grateful that so many voted for us,” Ma-hone said. “We were not expect-ing such a high percentage of the vote.”

Students voted for SGA presi-dent, treasurer and senators on OrgSync from March 31 to April 4.

A total of 1,704 students voted in the election, or roughly 8.7 percent of the 19,634 students enrolled on campus as of the fall of 2013.

This was nearly double the amount of votes from the 2013 election when the student popula-tion garnered 903. This year’s total still fell short from the 2012 election, when 2,046 votes were registered.

When Mahone and Urueta received the news shortly before midnight on Friday, they were

writing thank you cards to sup-porters.

“When I found out that we won the election, and by how many votes, I couldn’t stop thinking about all of the support we’ve got-ten from our peers, friends, staff members and people who trust us,” Urueta said.

Mahone is hoping for a smooth transition as he and Urueta begin their new roles in SGA. Mahone is still in the process of deciding who to appoint to his executive board.

The opposing candidates, SGA President Marie Reimers and running mate Margaret Blackmer, were also told the results of the election Saturday.

“We’ve had a good year and I’m proud of what we’ve gotten ac-complished,” Reimers said. “Good luck and congratulations to Chuck and Mariah.”

The resT of The fieldAlthough the positions of presi-

dent and treasurer were filled without issues, the same cannot be said for the Senate race. Of the 24 seats available, only 18 were officially filled.

The number of senate seats a col-lege has is determined by the enroll-ment numbers for the college.

Central Michigan University students do Zumba at Relay for Life in the Indoor Athletic Complex on Saturday for the 24-hour fundraising event that raises money for the American Cancer Society.

Central Michigan Life reported factual errors in the front page story, “FOIA for LaBelle, CMU lawsuit settlement denied by university officials,” published in the April 4 edition.

In the story, it was reported that CM Life was denied a copy of a lawsuit settlement between the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees and LaBelle Limited Partners after a Freedom of Information Act request.

Sherry Knight, vice president of University Communications, sent an email with the settlement document attached on Dec. 5 to University Editor Ben Solis. The email sent to Solis was flagged as spam and was not found that day.

The email was sent Dec. 5 when CMU held its regularly scheduled board of trustees meeting. During this meeting, trustees approved a $175,000, 30-year land lease for the construction of an on-campus hotel. A lawsuit was filed over a previous attempt to plan and construct the hotel, which was dismissed, appealed and then settled out of court.

CM Life requested a copy of the settlement in a press conference after the meeting. Initially, the reporter was instructed by university officials to make a formal FOIA request for the document.

While the reporter set about requesting the document, Knight, along with CMU’s General Counsel Manuel Rupe, made sure CM Life received the settlement in a timely and expedited manner. Within an hour of the verbal request, the reporter was sent the document.

The reporter was not aware that the document had been delivered until University Communications and the Office of General Council contacted the CM Life office on Friday after the story was published.

A reporter sent a written FOIA request to Rupe’s office on Jan. 26 asking for additional documents and the settlement. The response indicated that additional documents were not available through FOIA and the settlement agreement had been sent to the reporter on Dec. 5. The reporter should have followed up with the office for clarification on what had previously been sent before publishing Friday’s story.

We would like to apologize to Knight, Rupe, Director of Public Relations Steve Smith and Assistant General Counsel Mary Roy for the errors made in the article and errors of judgment made by the reporter. We would like to thank them for their understanding and continued support of the CM Life staff.

An article about the settlement will be published later this week.

Dedication, drive and determination – three words used to describe the students and community members who participated in this year’s Relay for Life at Central Michigan University.

This year’s event, held in the Indoor Athletic Complex, raised $75,904. Lacey Johnson, the co-chair of Colleges Against Cancer, said they were still counting all the change they had as well.

“We had to carry the change out on a rolling cart,” the Go-odrich senior said. “That will probably add a couple hundred dollars to the number. We surpassed our goal, which is awesome.”

More than 1,000 people participated in this year’s event, compared to the 800 last year. Fifty survivors came to the IAC and 20 more joined in virtually. Johnson said she was impressed with how many people came to participate by walking, jog-

Central Michigan Univer-sity’s Zeta Nu chapter of Pi Sigma Epsilon has a title to defend.

After winning first and second place in sales and marketing last year, the group will travel to Miami on Tuesday to compete in the fraternity’s national competition.

PSE Zeta Nu chapter President Tyler Wallner said the fraternity’s headquar-ters hosts two conferences every year – regionals and nationals – attended by 67 other chapters from across the nation.

“At the end of the day, we want to bring back some hardware and make our fel-low Chippewas proud,” said the Lowell junior. “It’s about making connections and learning, but really, we don’t go there to compete; we go there to win.”

The nine members that will represent PSE this year is the most in previous years.

pi sigma epsilon traveling to Florida to defend national title

Each year, the fraternity has achieved a top-five spot in the Pro-Am Sales com-petition. The four awards are top project manager, top sales person, top sales project, and top marketing project.

“We put in a ton of time pre-paring through film role plays and a lot of outside research in order to go to these competitions as prepared as possible and so we have the ability to compete on a high level,” Wallner said. “A lot of these chapters bring it on, so we put in all this hard work to be prepared and to legiti-mately compete by holding our own.”

As of Jan. 31, for the first time in the chapter’s history, Central Michigan Univer-sity’s PSE Chapter was

ranked the No. 1 chapter in the nation by the fraternity’s headquarters.

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to defend our first- and second-place win last year,” said Ken Cherry, assistant marketing and sales professor and PSE advisor. “Everyone is gun-ning for us, so there’s a lot of pressure.”

PSE members will travel to Florida on Tuesday and stay until April 14. The fra-ternity’s progress through-out the competition can be followed via the Twitter handle @PSEZetaNu.

“Although the Pro-Am competition is an individ-ual competition, we come together as a team, so that Central Michigan Univer-sity, and the Zeta Nu chapter is recognized,” Wallner said. “And hopefully that recogni-tion is a first-place trophy.”

local runners sHoP relocating

to imProve business

Runners Performance, the local outlet for jogging equipment in Mount Pleasant, is in the process of relocating.

Located at 2316 S. Mission St., the shop will move to the 4400 strip mall on Blue Grass Road, next to Aspen Dental and Biggby Coffee.

Store Manager Josh Berghuis said they needed to find a new spot because their business was not being noticed. He also said the store needed a fresh atmosphere.

“We’re moving over there for a couple different reasons,” he said. “First off, it’s just a new location. We’ve been at this location now for about eight years, roughly. For us, it’s just new.”

Berghuis said the store often got lost due to its location in the strip mall.

“The new strip mall is a little bit more open and a more noticeable location,” he said. “It’s a better location for us.”

The Runners Performance employees were looking for a new location for months, before settling on the location on Blue Grass Road and successfully pitching it to the owner, Berghuis said.

festival of banners to

decorate mount Pleasant in mayThe talent and artwork of

Mount Pleasant residents will soon be displayed with this year’s Art Reach Festival of Banners.

Each year, the Art Reach Center of Mid-Michigan puts on the festival, allowing children, adults and business owners to paint their own banners, and display them in the Mount Pleasant area.

Gift shop and gallery coordinator Kim Bigard said a goal of the festival is to sell 333 banners. So far, only 30 are left for the Art Reach staff to decorate.

Banners have been available for purchase since mid-February, with an April 25 submission deadline. After that, Art Reach staff and members of the city of Mount Pleasant will hang the banners in May.

While they are no longer hung on campus, some banners are displayed as far away as Shepherd, Bigard said.

“We designate half of them just to go to local schools,” Bigard said. “Once the banners are hung up, a Banner Festival booklet will be published so viewers can locate specific banners across town.”

By Mark JohnsonSenior Reporter

Working to keep the Great Lakes healthy is a top priority of Central Michigan University.

Cameron Davis, senior adviser to the administrator of the En-vironmental Protection Agency, said the work CMU has done in partnering with government agencies, lawmakers and activ-ists to help preserve and maintain the Great Lakes has been vital. One area he pointed to was CMU researchers locating and working with the Great Lakes wetlands.

“The work that CMU is doing is very important,” Davis said in an address to CMU during its Great Lakes Science in Action sympo-sium on Friday. “If we don’t know where (the wetlands are), if we don’t know where they should be, then how do we bring them back to the right places? The work CMU is doing with (Don Uzar-ski’s) leadership is absolutely critical to that effort.”

Davis and others spoke at the symposium Friday in French Auditorium to raise awareness of initiatives and issues regard-ing the health of the Great Lakes, such as fluctuating water levels, pollution and other threats to water quality.

The symposium also acted as a signpost for the love affair between CMU and the Great Lakes restora-tion community, which has been

vital to the movement’s success.University contributions have

helped groups studying the lakes move forward on a whole host of processes, Davis said, including mapping out the different wet-land areas around the state, and funding research at the CMU bio-logical station on Beaver Island.

In particular, Don Uzarski, director of the CMU Institute for Great Lakes Research, has used these resources to help compose a team responsible for identify-ing a number of wetland areas around the state.

By identifying the location of the wetlands, Uzarski said, it becomes possible to learn more about its history and possibly begin expanding it.

University President George Ross said through CMU’s work on Beaver Island, as well as its col-laboration with others like Grand Valley State University, CMU and the EPA have been able to help set new standards in Great Lakes research.

“Biosciences and Great Lakes Research are a top priority,” Ross said. “CMU faculty and students, at the undergraduate and gradu-ate levels, are leaders in the res-toration and preservation of the world’s largest supply of surface fresh water.”

Ross also stressed the impor-tance of the future construction of the estimated $95 million Biosciences Building as a part of

the commitment to the research. The Biosciences Building, Ross said, will serve as a precious tool for biology students and others who might help and work with the Great Lakes.

Beyond awareness and provid-ing a haven for young biologists to explore the Great Lakes, the institute also oversees and al-locates a $10 million EPA, Great Lakes preservation and restora-tion grant. The grant was al-located to nine other universities and three government agencies.

A portion of this money has been expended focusing on new

technologies, which help make the jobs of these researchers easier and more effective, includ-ing CMU’s $140,000 unmanned helicopter used for hyperspectral wetlands imaging.

“(Having the grant is) recog-nition that CMU and GVSU are really players in Great Lakes re-search,” Uzarski said. “We’re still growing. The university has been extremely supportive and we’re producing. As we keep producing, we’re generating more informa-tion and doing great things for the Great Lakes.”

Derek Edwards took his determina-tion from the football field this spring and served pizza to families in need.

The Novi freshman and offen-sive lineman for Central Michigan University’s football team was eager to volunteer at Little Caesars mobile Love Kitchen, at its recent stop in Mount Pleasant.

“I just tried to make sure that I talked to everybody who came through the line,” Edwards said. “It’s really important to give back to the community, because they’re always at games supporting us, so we want to support them, too.”

Edwards was a big hit among the children who came with their families to pick up pizza, making conversation with their family mem-bers and high-fiving each child who approached him.

“I just wanted to make the kids feel really welcomed,” Edwards said.

Nearly 70 Mount Pleasant families were aided by Little Caesers’ Love Kitchen on wheels.

Love Kitchen, a national initiative started in 1985, travels across the continental United States and Cana-da, meeting the needs of the hungry, homeless and disaster survivors.

According to Little Caesars’ Love Kitchen website, more than 2 million people in 48 states and four Canadian provinces have benefited from the service.

The cart made an appearance at Community Compassion Network, located at 2420 E. Broomfield Road, on March 28. Needy, local families were able to turn in previously distributed tickets determining how many pizzas each family was allotted, depending on the number of family members.

“The Love Kitchen was created to provide quality meals for people who need them,” said Little Caesars Zone Vice President Beth Townsend in a news release. “As a member of the area business community, it’s

important for us to support people when they need it and help make the community stronger. We’re excited to support this program with food and staff to provide a quality meal for people who otherwise may not get one.”

In addition to CCN staff members, about a dozen members of the CMU football team came to volunteer their time.

Local Little Caesars franchise owners and company regional offices donate all food and labor for Love Kitchen appearances. As estimated

on Little Caesars’ website, about 50,000 franchise owners and em-ployees have volunteered their time with Love Kitchen.

Love Kitchen has also responded to national disasters, including the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma, hurricanes in the east and on the Gulf Coast. The kitchen also served pizza at the site of the World Trade Center attacks, and the 1995 federal building bombing in Oklahoma City.

As a media organization, the credibility of our content

is weighted heavily on two key elements: Accuracy

and reliability. Without both, readers cannot depend on

Central Michigan Life for quality news reporting.

A commitment to

On Friday, we published a story detailing our Freedom of Informa-tion Act request for a legal settlement between Central Michigan University and LaBelle Limited Partnership. The settlement provides details on attempts to construct an on-campus hotel near Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

In the story, we reported that our FOIA request sent on Jan. 26 was not granted and Mary Roy, CMU’s Freedom of Infor-mation o� cer, was untruthful in claiming a copy of the settlement had been sent to our o� ce on Dec. 5.

Since publication, we have learned we were incorrect. A copy of the settle-

ment was, as Roy said, sent to a CM Life reporter on Dec. 5.

The media is often referred to as the fourth branch of government. As the fourth estate, we are charged with a key watchdog role. It is our duty to hold others accountable and ensure those in power do not abuse their authority.

However, in order to hold others to a higher standard and keep CMU account-able for its actions, we fi rst need to take responsibility for our own.

We recognize our mistake and we apologize. Every effort will be placed on ensuring errors of this nature do not happen again.

We do not hide behind excuses. Error is inevitable, but the way in which it is handled is often more important.

When we make a mistake, we recog-nize the importance of admitting it and correcting it. It would be hypocritical if we did not hold ourselves accountable the same way we hold others.

Anytime an error is discovered in our reporting, a correction is published. Rather than omitting the error from the original post, our editors place a note preceding the story that explains the process to our readers. If something is incorrect, we will tell you how and what we did to correct it.

As for our print product, we have a static corrections box on Page Two.

If a story is completely inaccurate, we will replace it and acknowledge our er-rors publicly.

By reporting as transparently as possible, we hope our readers continue to rely on us and trust our coverage. With an ever-

increasing fl ow of information to base opin-ions, we realize the importance of context and delivering accurate information.

According to the Pew Research Center, 38 percent of adults consume their news on Facebook and Twitter exclusively. CM Life would like to place an extensive em-phasis on di� erentiating ourselves from blog posts, social media and other less-than-reliable forms of news reporting.

We hope to move past our missteps Friday with a continued commitment to precision and attention to detail.

Our editors will work more diligently to check each fact. Our reporters will work to verify information with sources and to clarify any inaccuracies.

With more one-on-one sessions with reporters and editors, we will erase confu-sion in our reporting.

By cleaning up our mistakes and mend-ing relationships in the community, we hope to prove our dedication to getting the story right.

It’s not Roethat needs to go

Nearly two years ago I stood with thousands of women against House Bill 5711. The atrocious bill would essentially wipe out every health center in Michigan that provides abortions. Chants like, “this is our house” fi lled the House chamber. Although we numbered in the thou-sands, we were all one movement.

Two years later, the right to terminate a pregnancy is still being threatened.

Last summer, Sen. Wendy Davis refused to sit down when reproduc-tive rights were under attack in Texas. In Michigan, the state legisla-ture overturned Gov. Rick Snyder’s veto, banning any form of insurance coverage for abortion.

How is this supportive of women?On Tuesday, Students for Life

brought the “What Has Roe Done” display to campus. The display was set up between Anspach and the Bovee University Center and was debated in previous issues of Central Michigan Life. The display demonstrates why the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade — which legalized abortion in all states — was the worst thing for women since the Salem Witch Tri-als.

The display marketed abortion as a vial, heinous crime against women. It declared that women are exploit-ed by the procedure. Their answer to abortion? Make it illegal.

I had a great talk with one of the supporters. To the pro-life cause, abortion is the ultimate crime against humanity and hurts both child and mother. The display explained how abortion procedures increase risk for premature deliver-ies in the future, placenta previa and suicide. The apologists rallied around the idea that abortion ex-ploits women.

To an extent, I agree. Within a patriarchy, abortion

exists because women must balance both motherhood and work. One of the primary reasons women choose abortion is because they cannot a� ord a child. So how about ending the causes, not the procedures?

Brynn McDonnell

End employment discrimination. Make colleges more parent-friendly. Stop shaming young, pregnant and single women. I fi nd it troubling that the same politicians that vote against a woman’s right to choose also vote against important social programs like supplemental nutrition or low-income education assistance.

Ending abortion will not come by reversing the Roe decision. The problem started long before Roe.

Ending abortion will come when society fi nally decides to a� ord wom-en their pregnancy and parenting rights. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 73 percent of women who receive abortions do so because they feel they do not have the fi nancial capability to raise a child.

The problem is not abortion. The problem is not birth control or women having sex before marriage. The problem is a system that fails women into having inadequate family planning options and forces

them to choose between a job or a pregnancy.

The problem is not Roe. Abor-tions existed throughout history. The problem is a medical fi eld that places e� ort in getting men to have erections rather than providing women with a safe and e� ective birth control. The problem is a soci-ety that views women as disposable sex objects. The problem is a society that is held together by male and gendered standards.

It is impossible to end abortion within a patriarchy. Abortion exists because a patriarchy leaves women behind. The solution to ending abor-tion is to create a society that values women. Women deserve better than abortion. Women deserve better than anti-abortion activists trying to limit their right to abortion. Women deserve better than politicians dic-tating a woman’s personal liberty.

Women deserve better. Women deserve liberation.

Letter to the Edtior

TO THE EDITOR:

I recently read an article from the April 4 issue of Central Michigan Life and was compelled to write my thoughts on the subject. The article that I am referring to is entitled “A new wage,” regarding President Obama’s speech in Ann Arbor.

Lately, I have been seeing more and more news articles about calls for higher wages for employees. Although, in theory, it seems to be a way to diminish poverty, the costs of increased wages seem as if they

would actually reduce the abilities of many businesses and individuals around the country.

Imagine businesses who are already struggling to pay individu-als the minimum wage and remain in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. A higher wage would sometimes amount to having to pay individuals approximately 40 percent more in wages.

How would more jobs be created when businesses are struggling as is?

Think of the individuals who have worked hard to get high-paying jobs.

Suddenly, those jobs don’t seem so high paying when the increase in wages for everyone else infl ates the general cost of the market.

The increase in wages will cause an increase in everything – includ-ing transportation costs for goods. It could have a minor e� ect or, quite possibly, a detrimental e� ect on our economy as a whole.

There are an estimated 900,000 people who the wage increase would benefi t, but 500,000 jobs would have to be cut. It will essentially throw those 500,000 people into a worse

situation and benefi t the 900,000 marginally. To me, these stakes do not seem worth risking.

Before we say that we want a wage increase, it is our responsibil-ity to consider the e� ects that will occur based on those decisions.

Personally, I hate having college debt, however, the degree that I’m getting is enabling me to manage my debts and will allow me to live com-fortably. Not every job will be able to do this and people should think critically before they go to college. This means acting responsibly and

living within our means or fi nding a way to make our means match the way we want to live.

Not every job is going to be your fi rst choice, but a lot of the things that people view today as “needs” are simply “wants.” Our society has seemed to have lost that under-standing somewhere in our history.

Local musicians and bands played to a crowded house at Hunter’s Ale House during a benefi t concert for disadvantaged children Friday night.

The fourth annual TOMS Fundraising Concert was put on by the TOMS Shoes registered student organization. The event raised more than $300, which will provide shoes to patients at a children’s hospital.

The registered student organi-zation is dedicated to promoting and contributing to the charitable

e� orts of the company TOMS Shoes. TOMS donates a pair of shoes to the less fortunate for every pair that is bought.

“We all think it’s a good cause that more people should know about,” said Lowell junior Bri-anne Warren. “This show is great because it raises awareness and everyone gets to have fun.”

The concert kicked o� with a performance by two acoustic guitarists, Rochester Hills senior Taylor Ernst and Harbor Beach senior Chelsie Pysklo. Ernst, who played on stage for the fi rst time at last year’s concert, returned for his second public performance

Annual TOMS concert raises more than $300 for children’s hospital

with a new set list.“I think the show went great,”

Ernst said. “It’s good to see so many people coming out to sup-port the cause.”

The last act of the night was Marc Summerz and the Double Darez. The band played covers of hit ‘90s songs like “I Just Wanna Fly” by Sugar Ray and “How Bizarre” by OMC.

A fan of TOMS shoes, Mount Pleasant resident Emily Myers came to the show after seeing it advertised on Facebook.

“I think a show like this is a brilliant way to raise money in a college town,” Myers said. “They picked a really good location for it, too.”

On April 29, the RSO plans to participate in One Day Without Shoes, a national event hosted by TOMS. They will walk barefoot throughout the day to draw attention to those who cannot a� ord shoes.

Best-Selling Book andStory of Truth, Justice, and

Redemption

In 1984, Jennifer Thompson was a 22-year-old college student with a 4.0 GPA and lofty goals for herfuture. Her path was dramatically altered however, when a man broke into her apartment, put a knifeto her throat, and raped her.

In that moment, her determination took an entirely different direction, as she focused all attention on memorizing the man’s features. Searching for scars, tattoos, and any unique features that could help her identify him, she was certain that she could put him in prison for life. After a composite sketch, line-up identification, and trial, Jenni-fer Thompson’s testimony and memory led to a life sentence for Ronald Cotton.

Years later, Thompson was asked to provide a DNA sample for further analysis of the case. She agreed to the request, positive that her identification of Cotton would be held up by science. In an instant, both lives changed, when it was revealed that Ronald Cotton was not her rapist, and after spending 11 years in prison as an innocent man, he was released.

Devastated that her actions led to the imprisonment of an innocent man, Thompson reached out to Cotton to apologize, and in an act of true generosity, he forgave her. Their unlikely friendship and bond be-came the basis for the New York Times best-selling book, Picking Cotton.

Today, Thompson and Cotton travel the country, speaking out in favor of DNA testing and working to protect the wrongfully convicted by sharing their personal stories of hope and redemption.

ging or playing the games for fundraisers throughout the 24-hour event.

“We like people to stay the whole time, but they don’t have to,” she said. “We had 83 teams participate and raise money. It was awesome.”

Johnson said they set the goals high because CAC wanted to keep growing Relay for Life on CMU’s campus.

One of the challenges Relay for Life faced in 2013 was Greek Week confl icting with the time slots. Johnson said some teams couldn’t par-ticipate last year because they were participating in other events for Greek life.

This year was special for Johnson because it’s the 10th year since her mother died from ovarian cancer. She said it was incredible to be able to put together and lead an event so near to her heart.

“You can’t put it into words how happy you are,” Johnson said. “We’re aff ecting so many people, and we’re just one campus. The feelings you get from Relay are indescribable.”

Johnson said she enjoyed getting to know so many more people whose lives are aff ected by cancer. She said Relay for Life is like building a family within 24 hours.

“It’s a touching, safe place that everyone knows what you’re going through or have

been through,” Johnson said. “You’re not alone in it. You’re not the only one who’s felt that way. That’s the part where everyone else aff ects everyone else.”

PArTiCiPATiNG oN MUlTiPle leVels

Other CAC committee members spent their 24 hours getting to know the caregiv-ers, survivors and friends of people aff ected by cancer. Iron Mountain junior Braden Riis said he enjoyed meeting people walking during Relay because everyone had their own story.

“It’s amazing the stories you hear at Relay,” he said. “The caregivers, the survivors – it was interesting. (Cancer) is a strong, driving force. It’s inter-esting to see everyone’s reason to participate.”

Riis has been aff ected by cancer in many ways. One of his grandmothers died from cancer and another is a survi-vor. Riis said his roommate is also a survivor, giving him a new perspective on life.

“At the beginning of the year, (my roommate) said ever since he was diagnosed with cancer, he looks at life diff er-ently,” Riis said. “It’s kind of a reality shock. It really drove me to get involved in Relay.”

Riis has participated in Re-lay for Life events since high school, but said this was his fi rst year on the committee. As a committee member, he fi lled in as a judge for the Disney character costume contest at

this year’s event.Participants in the contest

were judged on their talent, costume and reason for why they relay. The top three then competed to raise the most money in 10 minutes.

“The winner was a survivor who danced with her dog,” Riis said. “The two others pooled their money so she could win. It shows you the kind of community we have. We’re raising money to help save lives.”

A seNse of CoMMUNiTYMike Bryant has kept

coming back to Relay for Life because of the sense of com-munity he gets in the short period of time spent walking and participating in events.

There for 20 of the 24-hour event, Bryant said he had a lot of fun meeting new people and

hearing their stories.“You feel like you’re not

alone,” the senior from Hartland said. “Hearing the survivors’ stories and how some caretakers remember their loved ones, knowing you’re a part of something so big that will help in the long run, we’re just one step closer to cancer not being a problem anymore.”

Bryant was a member of the fi ve-person team, Team Edna’s Hooters.

The team’s namesake was team leader Heather Brown-

lee’s grandmother, Edna, who had breast cancer. The team met its personal fundraising goal of $1,000 by hosting a root beer pong tournament.

“Rob Browlee, Heather’s brother, built the table for us,” Bryant said. “It was pink with breast cancer ribbons on either end. We sold root beer cans for $1 and let people play. I was kind of surprised. People were coming to play at three in the morning.”

CAC hopes to continue to grow Relay for Life on CMU’s campus, getting more student

and community participants. Johnson said she hopes to get the word out about the annual free event through Facebook and other forms of social me-dia in the coming years.

“It’s one of the more open events on campus,” she said. “Next year could be an $80,000 relay. We do all these things because we want to get the word out. The more we share, the quicker we can put cancer in the history books.”

Third place gymnastics to send three to nationalsBy Taylor DesOrmeau

Staff Reporter

When senior Emily Heinz’s bal-ance beam score was displayed as a 9.85, gymnastics head coach Jerry Reighard was furious.

“It’s a little ironic because when Emily Heinz dismounted, she just drilled her double back dismount and it was by far the best routine of the day,” Reighard said. “When her score came up at 9.85, I was all over the meet referee. As it turns out, had she been a quarter tenth higher, she’d have been the only one going (to nationals).”

In hindsight, he doesn’t mind the score at all.

Heinz was one of six gymnasts in Saturday’s Athens regional to score an event-high 9.85 on beam, includ-ing Chippewa juniors Taylor Noonan and Halle Moraw. All six will be advancing to the NCAA national championships April 18-20 in Birmingham, Ala.

While CMU as a whole did not advance in the regional, coming in third behind No. 7 Michigan and

No. 6 Georgia, the team will send gymnasts to compete at nationals for the individual championships for the first time since 2004.

The Chippe-was fell behind early, as Michi-gan, Ohio State and Georgia were neck-and-neck for the national spots. CMU finished sixth of six on vaulting and fourth on bars, and had its first gymnast on balance beam fall. From there, the

team fought its way back into contention.

“There was true grit and perseverance on beam and floor and it showed in our scores,” Heinz said. “We went up there and owned it and performed for the crowd and just had fun and it was amazing.”

Back-to-back-to-back 9.85 scores to finish off beam put CMU at a 49.000 for the event, the best of the

six teams. The Chippewas 49.225 on floor was second of the six teams and helped them jump over Ohio State to third in the final standings.

“A lot of other teams, they try to just stay on the beam,” Moraw said. “We expect to stay on the beam and we expect to perform to the judges, which I think really sets us apart from the other teams.”

Reighard said the level of dif-ficulty of CMU’s beam routines is another component that sets the team apart.

“We work on toe. It’s much more difficult and the judges appreciate

Breaking the Bracket and the Bank

By Joe JuddStaff Reporter

To a gambling addict, the first filled-out bracket is just as detrimental as an alco-holic’s first drink.

Every March, college basketball fans across the nation fill out their “perfect” brackets with the intention of yielding a big pay-day. Students are starting an activity that some will not be able to maintain control of later down the road.

Warren Buffett’s billion-dollar perfect bracket chal-lenge is the tip of the iceberg in a deep and illegal world of sports gambling.

Sports gambling, legal only in Nevada, can be ad-dictive and leads to reckless behavior, and it can start with something as simple as filling out a bracket.

“The bracket does initiate somebody into a behav-ior that is very similar to gambling,” said Tim Otte-man, professor of recreation, parks & leisure services at CMU. “Nobody becomes a sports gambling addict before they fill out their first bracket.”

With his experience and expertise on sports gam-bling, both legal and illegal, Otteman has produced his dissertation entitled: “Gam-

March Madness bracketology poses risk of gambling addiction for students

bling With Their Lives: College Students and Sports Gambling.” In it he details the lives of 14 college students who were deeply involved in the illegal enterprise.

In his time following gambling in sports, he has acquired information that some would consider startling.

“College-age students are two to four times more likely to become pathological gamblers than the adult population,” Otteman said. “It goes in stages – you go from filling a bracket out, to betting on multiple games, to betting on multiple sports.”

Former athletes who miss the game and are still looking for competition have found an outlet in gambling on their former sport as well.

“It gives (former athletes) a competitive outlet even though they are no longer playing,” Otte-man said. “Their ability to bet on a sport is based on their perceived knowledge of the sport they used to play.”

Otteman said students are most susceptible to relentlessly pursue an unlikely, but large, profit. Fill-

ing out a bracket or making a harmless bet with friends can trigger a person to begin a downward spiral with out-of-control gambling.

Although a select few need the incentive of the dollar sign to place their bet, there are still college students who prefer not to place any dollar amount on the sports they watch. For them, the enjoyment comes from relaxing and enjoying an event with friends and family.

“I just think (betting) sort of takes the fun out of it for me,” said senior Gus Hendrickson, a junior finance major. “The pure competition of the sport and the banter that you have with your friends is fun enough for me and placing bets tarnishes sports in my opinion.”

Freshman forensic sciences major, Robert Ainsworth, said he chooses not to place any money on sporting events. He filled out a bracket at the beginning of the March Madness hysteria to play along with his friends, but did not participate in Buffett’s one billion dollar challenge.

However, Ainsworth under-stands why college students seem to hop onto each new betting-oriented contest.

“A lot of people who don’t have a lot of money see oppor-

tunities like this as a chance to make more than what they have,” Ainsworth said. “Even with the small odds, I think kids will always try as long as there is the possibility of winning big.”

While many are able to resist the temptation and not fall down the ‘slippery slope,’ as Otteman calls it, there are still plenty of university students who cannot. Gambling addic-tion affects people negatively, just as addiction to drugs or alcohol does.

“I see plenty of warning signs; You see people gathering a lot of information and surfing the internet, compiling stats for their bet,” Otteman said. “They sever a lot of personal relation-ships in the process.”

Weighing The oddsIn a January, a Business

Insider article written by Andy Kiersz featuring DePaul Uni-versity math professor, Jeff Ber-gen, said the odds of filling out a perfect bracket are miniscule. With a total of 63 games played in the tournament, one essen-tially has to pick 63 winners and with two teams playing, Bergen calculated the chances as two raised to the 63rd power.

“College-age students are two to four times more likely to become pathological gamblers than the

adult population.”

There are two notable pieces missing from this years football team: Last year’s captains Avery Cunningham and Shamari Benton.

Benton was second team All-MAC and 2013 CMU Defensive Player of the Year. Cunningham started 43 consecutive games at safety and was the third-leading tackler last season.

Many dependable and produc-tive players are back, however, along with many new and young faces looking to step up and fill roles this season.

Fourth year defensive coordi-nator Joe Tumpkin said he likes the way the team is working this season.

“We (have) got some guys back with experience,” Tumpkin said. “We’re playing fast and they’re starting to understand what we’re looking for and they’re playing with effort and toughness and I think that’s a big thing I’m seeing out there. We are working on get-ting better at our fundamentals.”

Reloaded leadeRshipSeniors Justin Cherocci and

Jason Wilson are veterans leading the charge on defense.

“I think we have some young guys but we have a lot of depth and they’re all stepping up,” Cherocci said. “There is a lot of competition, so I feel like there won’t be any falloff from last season.”

Cherocci was the most produc-tive linebacker last season for CMU. He recorded 121 tackles in 2013 with four sacks.

Wilson started all 12 games at cornerback. He finished tied for the team lead in interceptions with three, and was fifth on the team with 61 tackles.

“Shamari and Avery were big parts of our defense, but we (have) got a lot of younger guys who can play, so I feel like we can fill those roles good and we will be fine,” Wilson said.

Tumpkin said filling the gaps left by Benton and Cunningham will be put on the shoulders of the senior class, including Leterrius Walton, Cherocci, Wilson, Jarret Chapman and Kevin King.

“Then you look at some of the underclassmen like Blake Serpa, who is playing well right now,” Tumpkin said. “Shafer Johnson (and) Jabari Dean will be key guys upfront, as well as guys coming up and developing like Kavon Frazier and Brandon Greer at corner.”

defensive backsCMU has a good mix of new

and established talent at defensive back.

Although the starters have im-pressed Tumpkin this spring, the young guys are in need of some improvement.

Wilson said things are different in spring camp this year among the defensive backs.

“We’re doing a much better job this spring than we have before at just doing our jobs and compet-ing every day in practice,” Wilson said. “Everything’s not going to be perfect in the spring, especially with new guys, but I think we’ve shown the ability to compete

gYMnasTics |that and recognize that as being diff erent from everyone else,” Reighard said. “Every-one else is fl at-footed because it makes the landing, the staying on the feet that much easier. Emily Heinz dis-mounts with the double back, she didn’t move even her little toe. Taylor Noonan and Halle were steady as rocks.”

CMU has sent six gymnasts to nationals in program his-tory, with three going in 2003. While the whole team will continue to practice for the next two weeks, only Heinz, Noonan and Moraw will travel to nationals.

“I’ve competed alone before and it’s not nearly as fun as when you’re with your best friends,” Noonan said. “I am blessed that I’m going to be with two of my best friends in Alabama.”

The three will have a chance to do something no Chippewa gymnast has done

before: Become an All-Ameri-cans. The top gymnasts out of the approximate 80 gymnasts at each event at nationals earn All-American status.

“I think the motivation is extremely high,” Reighard said. “I think the fact that we actually won beam and had three people win beam (in-dividually) puts us in a good position for one or all three of them to be All-Americans.”

This yields him the over-all odds for picking a perfect bracket at an astronomical one in 9.2 quintillion.

Even taking these odds into consideration, this situation would only be true if it is assumed that each game in the tourna-ment has an even 50-50 chance to it. This is what Business Insider views as a virtual coin flip but it can also be misleading to someone filling out a bracket due to the random nature of the games the tournament produces.

Saying there is a 50-50 chance, according to Busi-ness Insider, is saying that each team in the tournament has an equal shot at winning.

With March Madness being just that, “mad-ness,” there is no conceiv-able way that every team has an equal chance and therefore would make the initial estimate, in the quintillions, as close to an individual’s chances at defying the odds in Buf-fet’s contest as possible.

really hard and I’ve liked that.”

Junior Kavon Frazier is another name standing out this spring. He started nine games last season, ranking fourth on the team in tack-les and tied for the team leader in interceptions with three.

Tony Annese, who won 2013 CMU Defensive Player of the Year, played in all 12 games last season and made an impact in his first season, catching two interceptions.

linebackeRsThe group with the most

experience is the lineback-er corp, led by Cherocci. Six of the eight linebackers on the spring roster are upperclassmen with a total

of 103 games of combined experience.

“They hit hard, they know what they’re do-ing and they come out every day ready to work,” Cherocci said. “Everyone’s been really physical and flying to the ball.”

Tumpkin said the group is not only the most experi-enced on defense, but it has more athleticism than in years past.

“I think we’re getting more athletic, especially with our younger guys,” Tumpkin said. “You look at guys like Jeff Perry and Nate Ricketts. Those guys are moving around mak-ing plays. They’re coming along and playing hard and that’s the biggest thing. That athleticism has made us better tacklers out here.”

Junior linebacker Na-than Ricketts doesn’t have the statistics some of the others have but he brings experience. He appeared in

all 12 games last season.

defensive lineThe third biggest gap on

defense is along the defen-sive line.

In his first and last season at CMU, Michi-gan State transfer Jeremy Gainer was a productive talent upfront. Gainer was named CMU’s Defensive Upfront Co-Player of the Year, starting every game while leading all line-men with 41 tackles, 22 of which were solo.

In his absence, three key players are working this spring to fill his absence.

Walton is the most ex-perienced lineman return-ing for CMU this season. He started all 12 games in 2013, ranking second on the team with 9.5 tackles for loss.

At the defensive end po-sition, junior Louis Palmer is coming off a season in which he finished second

among defensive linemen in tackles with 34.

Sophomore defensive end Joe Ostman was the lone true freshman to play for CMU last season, ap-pearing in all 12 games on defense and special teams.

Tumpkin said this is the strongest group of defen-sive linemen in his four years as defensive coordi-nator.

“I’m very pleased with the defensive line group as a whole,” Tumpkin said. “The older guys are play-ing really good and the younger guys are starting to improve every day so I’m excited about this group.”

CMU has five prac-tices remaining before the spring game at 1 p.m. on April 19.

Central Michigan start-ing pitcher Nick Deeg never felt comfortable on the mound Sunday after-noon against Buffalo.

He was lit up, hit after hit, run after run Sunday in CMU’s fi rst Mid-American Conference loss to Bu� alo, 11-3. Deeg pitched four in-nings, giving up nine hits while allowing six runs – fi ve of them being earned.

CMU head coach Steve Jaksa believed it was the little things that bothered a usually e� ective Deeg.

“When the game started, he wasn’t as comfortable with his stu� ,” Jaksa said. “He let that bother him and he never got into a fl ow. He couldn’t throw his breaking ball or his change-up early in the game. You have to trust what you have. If you’re not committed to what you’re doing, then you aren’t com-mitted to having success.”

Still, Jaksa said he is not worried about the fresh-man’s future.

“This wasn’t a game we gave away,” Jaksa said. “They earned it. They did what they needed to do and we will learn from it. This was the only game where we saw this

from Nick and I don’t think you will see it again. I think he is a good learner and un-derstands who he is.”

Bu� alo’s four and fi ve hit-ters destroyed CMU with a combined 10 RBI.

Bulls’ third baseman Tyler Mautner did most of the damage, fi nishing the game with four hits, one run and four RBI.

All 11 of Bu� alo’s runs were scored with two outs.

“We didn’t get it,” Jaksa said. “We had been getting it all year. Nick didn’t get it and when he went out, they scored all their runs on two outs as well. We weren’t e� ective enough to put a stop to it. Give them credit too, for battling back, but we would like to think most times we would get right back in and do a good job of getting that third out.”

Softball sweeps EMU behind strong pitching, leads MAC West

By Drew PowersStaff Reporter

Softball swept Eastern Michigan in its own house.

After winning 9-7 on Saturday, the Chippewas defeated EMU 7-1 on Sun-day. Senior pitcher Morgan Yuncker went the distance, giving up one earned run on three hits. She walked one EMU batter and struck out seven.

Junior third baseman Trista Cox went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run, and an RBI. Junior shortstop CarolAnn Sexauer and sophomore fi rst baseman Katelyn Rentschler also went 2-for-3. Sexauer drove in two runs and scored two runs.

“O� ensively, I think we really stepped up this week-end,” Yuncker said. “When the o� ense plays that way, it makes my job easier.”

The Chippewas got on the board in the second inning when Cox was singled home by Sexauer.

Freshman Danielle Mar-link pinch-hit for senior Raechel Zahrn, singling to right fi eld, and scoring Sex-auer and sophomore Evelyn Lorimer to put CMU up 3-0.

“It’s always a team ef-fort,” Sexauer said. “We know that if someone isn’t playing well, there’s always going to be someone else that will step up.”

With just one hit going into the fi nal inning, EMU was not able to get anything rolling against Yuncker, who

improved her record to 7-1.“Morgan was able to

throw some really nice off-speed pitches,” said head coach Margo Jonker. “She’s gaining confidence, and you need confidence to play well.”

The Chippewas have a busy week coming up. CMU plays a doubleheader against Oakland University at home on Wednesday before resum-ing their Mid-American Conference schedule.

On Friday, they travel to Bu� alo for a doubleheader, and then to Ohio for games against Kent State on Satur-day and Sunday.

CMU leads the MAC West with a 3-1 conference record, and holds the best overall record. Kent State and Buf-falo both hold .500 records in conference play.

“We’re looking forward to playing more games and getting more experienced,” Sexauer said. “We’re look-ing forward to winning games, too.”
