Benefits were a big issue during Friday’s fact-finding session between Central Michigan University and the Faculty Association.

Jacqueline Pridgeon, in-terim director of benefits and wellness, said CMU tuition remission is compa-rable to other Michigan uni-versities on the employee side, and provides a better benefit on the dependent side.

The current remission sys-tem allows faculty members and other full-time employ-ees at CMU up to 24 free credit hours each academic year. These employees can use the credits for them-selves, their spouse or their dependent children.

CMU also allows tuition remission to be applied to another institution if the course or degree program is not offered at CMU, Prid-geon said.

Comparable universities in Michigan vary on tuition

remission. Pridgeon said Western Michigan Univer-sity provides 75 percent of the support for spouses and independent children, while eight other universities pro-vide 50 percent tuition re-mission.

The FA proposes to in-crease the number of tu-ition remission credit hours from 24 to 30 to support faculty members who may have more than one student in college. Phil Squattrito, chemistry professor and FA bargaining team member,

While many students depend on scholar-ships or summer

jobs to pay for college, some Central Michigan University students find unconventional ways to cover the cost.

One Rockford senior is turn-ing his interest in entertain-ment into money by using YouTube.

He has created the alias “Peter Butterman,” which is also the name of his YouTube channel, to make comical videos inspired by comedians like Ed Bassmaster.

“I do stuff like this anyways, so might as well do it for some money,” Butterman said.

He receives revenue through the ads on the vid-eos. For every click on an ad, a certain monetary amount set by the provider goes to the channel’s owner. While it is not much, it all adds up as a video’s popularity increases.

By performing stunts such as “coning” (grabbing a drive-through ice cream cone by the ice cream, and other related frozen dairy pranks) or run-ning though a grocery store covered in peanut butter,

Butterman hopes he will be-come a YouTube hit and pay off students loans by the end of the academic year.

“My biggest hit has been ‘Ugly Face Contest,’ but it’s a growing process,” Butterman said. “Everybody waits for that one big hit that just takes off, and I’m not going to stop (making videos).”

Like Butterman, many stu-dents are concerned about being able to pay off loans in a reasonable amount of time.

Amy, a sophomore, who asked to remain anonymous, deposits the money she earns as an exotic dancer into a sav-ings account she plans to use after graduation.

While Amy knows her em-ployment choices are often frowned upon, she said it is only temporary and provides just what she needs for school.

“I know it’s unorthodox, but I’ve been a competitive dancer all my life and it’s just a way to be on stage,” Amy said.

“I don’t think about the audi-ence, just about the goal.”

Amy said the place is well-managed and her employer helps her determine exactly how much she needs to work to meet her budget.

A more popular way of stu-dents making money is to do-nate plasma at BioLife, 4279 E. Blue Grass Road.

Disguised zombies are searching for more victims to increase their numbers around Central Michigan University’s campus.

The growing apocalypse be-gan at 1 p.m. on Thursday at the signal of creator Isaac Ban-nasch, and will conclude on Sept. 18.

The Highland senior and his roommate created the event after playing a campus-wide “Mafia game” and discovered it was too complex. Bannasch said the zombie game has sim-pler rules so anyone interested could participate.

A person must indicate they are playing by wearing a red cloth on the left arm and a blue cloth on the right arm. You be-come a zombie 28 hours after a converted zombie puts the designated clothes pin on you.

Howell senior Alex Flanagan said he has been excited for the event since he first heard about it. He is positive the slow-start-ing event will pick up speed

and said he cannot wait to see more red and blue bands.

“The amount of people who are participating is great,” Fla-nagan said. “Now I’m just wait-ing to see the campus over-run by zombie students.”

To participate, a person must be “attending” the Facebook event page, Campus Apoca-lypse. It is how participants communicate and where the game rules are posted.

Flanagan is also excited to use Nerf guns around campus. The Nerf guns are the only de-fense against zombies, though the game forbids them from being used in classrooms. If a person shoots a zombie, the zombie cannot attack for 24 hours.

Eastpointe sophomore Ja-cob Comfort has never partici-pated in a game of this magni-tude and hopes more people try it out.

“I thoroughly enjoy playing the zombie maps on ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ and though many people may view Nerf

Some students are upset about the closing of Grawn Hall’s computer lab but a state- of-the-art classroom is on schedule to be com-pleted.

The new area will include subsections of breakout rooms for smaller teamwork sessions and should be com-pleted by the start of second semester.

“There’s never enough state money to do exactly what you want, but we’ve received a very generous $500,000 gift from the Isa-bella Bank, which launched

the whole thing,” said Col-lege of Business Administra-tion Dean Charles Crespy.

Crespy said the new tech-nology will bring a level of sophistication currently un-available elsewhere in the college.

“Right now, for example, say you’re in a negotiating class. It’s hard to negoti-ate in a classroom against a team that’s 15 feet away from you,” Crespy said, “and with the construction, we’re creating spaces more con-sistent with what we’re try-ing to do.”

There are 10 breakout rooms planned for the new space and each will be named for individual donors.

“By doing that, we create reserve funds for keeping the technology updated,” Crespy said, “because it’s not enough to buy new tech-nology and not update it; times change quicker than technology does.”

Stan Pope, director of technology at the CBA, said the idea of computer labs was losing favor, and the new virtual lab technology being developed will be bet-ter.

“One of the best things about the virtual desktop, from a technological stand-point, is with a virtual desk-top I can have someone come to me with a piece of software and if it’s an emer-

New Grawn renovations set for January completion date

gency, we can get it on the virtual machines in a day,” Pope said, “and with the reg-ular desktops it could take a week or a weekend.”

Pope said the new Grawn room will have some of the newest technology on cam-pus.

“The breakout rooms will have a big screen television with a computer hanging behind it so you can display

things in a group setting,” Pope said.

One of the breakout rooms will be able to be di-vided with a wall with a big screen for the students to hold teleconferences with one another, Pope said.

“It will really mirror what happens in the real business world,” Pope said.

Who knew there are over 250 rentable spaces on CMU’s campus? Well, it’s true! According to Events and Conference Services, a newly created office on campus, there are over 250 spaces available to meet any type of event, conference, or meeting needs. Events and Conference Services is now operating in the University Recreation, Events and Conferences unit, and is the new “one stop shop” for event planning on campus. Working hard this past year, the new department is about to roll out a new marketing initiative to educate the CMU campus and the Mt. Pleasant community on how to plan an event on campus this fall. Stan Shingles, Assistant Vice President of University Recreation, Events and Conferences, has worked with his team to create the new brand, Events Central, to consolidate anything “events” on campus. Events Central will represent all of the departments that collaborate to make events, conferences, and meetings successful on CMU’s campus. These departments include Events and Conference Services, University Events, Events Center Operations and Classic Fare Catering. Over the past year, the Events Central team has coordinated over 500 events. From small university meetings to large community events, Events Central has successfully managed events in many existing, and some new, venues on campus, such as the newly renovated Events Center and Powers Ballroom. Lisa Hadden, President of the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce,

hosted the first annual 2011 Le Tour De Mont Pleasant Time Trial on CMU’s campus in June. Lisa was pleased to share that, “All the racers were very complimentary on the beautiful facilities and superb service received from CMU staff. We look forward to our collaboration again in June of 2012.” Successful events such as Le Tour demonstrate the multi-faceted use of space on campus. The Events Central team has taken great pride in the expansion of conferences and events on campus and is looking forward to continual growth in the future. With the creation of the “one stop shop” initiative, customer convenience has become the top priority. Contact Events and Conference Services at (989) 774-PLAN or at [email protected] to take advantage of the “one stop shop” experience.

JUDGE WON’T DROP CHARGES IN RUTGERS CASE

said this would encourage these students to attend CMU.

“We see that as a win-win for the university,” he said.

In other business, Squattrito said the FA wants a $600 sign-ing bonus for 12-month fac-ulty for the time they did not have a contract and because they are among the lowest-paid employees within the bargaining unit.

CMU lawyers questioned the legality of this request un-der Michigan state law, but Squattrito said the $600 sign-ing bonus is legal in Michigan.

The FA proposes to keep cur-rent contract language regard-ing retirement, which states the university contributes 12 percent to the retirement pro-gram on behalf of bargaining unit members employed be-fore Sept. 1, 1996, and 10 per-

cent to those employed after Sept. 1, 1996.

Squattrito said the FA does not agree with CMU’s position to have retirement contribu-tion based only on base salary because it would be a disin-centive to increase research in the future.

Matt Serra, director of fac-ulty and employee relations, said CMU proposes to remove a paragraph in the contract on the continuation of insur-ance after retirement because this issue is between the bar-gaining unit and the Michigan Education Special Services As-sociation, and does not belong in a contract between CMU and the FA.

Fact-finder Barry Goldman concluded the hearing by en-couraging both sides to come to decisions themselves be-cause they know more about CMU than he does, and they will ultimately be the ones who have to live with the decision.

“The only thing I know about this situation is what I’ve learned in fact-finding,” he said. “It is a mistake for you to leave this decision to me.”

Goldman will make a rec-ommendation to a local judge in early November and the two sides will go back to court.

The next fact-finding ses-sion begins 10 a.m. Tuesday at a location to be determined.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A Superior Court Judge ruled Fri-day there is more than enough evidence to support invasion-of-privacy and bias-intimida-tion charges against former Rutgers University student Dharun Ravi, who used the webcam on his laptop com-puter to watch his male room-mate having sex with a man.

The ruling by Judge Glenn Berman came in response to a defense motion to dismiss all charges in the high-profile case.

In rejecting the defense ar-gument, Berman emphasized that his ruling was not a re-flection on Ravi’s guilt or inno-cence, but rather an analysis of the prosecution’s grand jury presentation and the subse-quent 15-count indictment handed up against the 19-year-old in April.

Ravi’s roommate, Tyler Cle-menti, 18, committed suicide shortly after discovering the fellow freshman and others had viewed his encounter via a laptop webcam.

The case has attracted inter-national attention and has be-come a rallying point for those concerned with cyber-bullying and the intimidation of gay youth.

Ravi, of Plainsboro, sat qui-etly through Friday’s hourlong proceeding dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and tie and flanked by two defense attor-neys.

Clementi’s parents, Jane and Joseph, sat in the front row of the small third-floor courtroom and declined to comment as they left the courthouse.

Ravi has been charged with

invasion of privacy, bias in-timidation and tampering with evidence. He has pleaded not guilty and remains free on bail.

Clementi, of Ridgewood, jumped off the George Wash-ington Bridge on Sept. 22, shortly after learning that Ravi and others had spied on him on Sept. 19.

Ravi also is accused of trying to view a second encounter on Sept. 21.

Clementi’s death does not figure in the indictment. De-fense attorneys argued the widespread attention the case has received is linked to Clem-enti’s suicide and has clouded the prosecution.

In the motion rejected by Berman, Ravi’s attorneys con-tended that the county pros-ecutor’s office had overcharged the case and distorted the facts.

Berman has scheduled a hearing for Oct. 20 at which he is expected to set a trial date. Ravi could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the most serious bias-intimidation charges.

The judge ruled on several other defense motions, but he said they would not take ef-fect for seven days to allow the prosecution time to consider appeals.

Over the objections of As-sistant County Prosecutor Julia McClure, Berman ruled that the defense should be given the name and birth date of the man who was in the dorm room with Clementi.

In court documents he has been identified only by his ini-tials, “M.B.”

Berman ruled that defense attorney Steven D. Altman could have the information, but barred him from making the man’s name or any other

details public.Altman said he had no desire

to publicize anything about M.B. personally, but he would like to question him about Cle-menti’s “behavior, demeanor and attitude.” That, he said, could help build a defense against the bias-intimidation charges.

The defense would like to show Clementi felt neither in-timidated nor harassed by Ravi.

M.B. had indicated, accord-ing to the prosecutor, that he might agree to be questioned by the defense, but only in the presence of a representative of the prosecutor’s office.

M.B. told investigators he met Clementi through an on-line chatroom and dating ser-vice for gay men. He has no ob-ligation to speak to the defense, Berman pointed out.

The judge withheld rulings on defense motions to gain ac-cess to notes allegedly written by Clementi and to Clementi’s computer.

Berman said he tended to agree with the prosecution’s argument that information was not relevant, but he said he wanted to review Clem-enti’s notes and the content of his computer privately before deciding.

He said he had the same reservations about a defense request for information gath-ered by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police who recovered Clementi’s body.

While lawyers for Ravi con-cede he exercised poor judg-ment and may have been in-sensitive, they claim he never intended to intimidate or ha-rass Clementi because of his sexual orientation.

There was 4:20 left in the third quarter on Saturday against Kentucky with Cen-tral Michigan leading 13-6, when CMU head coach Dan Enos had a big decision to make.

CMU was on its own 34-yard line with fourth down and “inches” to go.

When asked about the de-cision to go for it on fourth and a yard, Enos quickly corrected a reporter on the distance his offense had to go, saying, “fourth and an inch, fourth and inches.”

Enos was on the same page with his fellow coach-es and players who wanted to go for it.

CMU came out in I-for-mation, handing the ball off of to sophomore running back Tim Phillips, who was stopped at the line of scrim-mage.

“We ran one of our base plays, that’s what we do,” Enos said.

On the previous third down play, it was a simi-lar situation as sophomore running back Zurlon Tipton ran it up the middle for no gain.

“We had third and shorts, fourth and shorts and didn’t convert,” said junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff. “We’ve got to convert, there is no excuse.”

The Wildcats offense took the field with some extra momentum. It put the de-fense in a tough situation only up a score and just 34 yards away from the end zone, but the defense still wanted the offense to go for it.

“We were hoping they would get it, thought they would get it,” said senior cornerback Taylor Bradley. “Sudden change, you got to go out there and play, that happens. Defense has to go out there and get a stop.”

The defense wasn’t able to get that stop. UK junior quarterback Morgan New-ton threw a play-action pass to junior wide receiver La’Rod King in the end zone to tie the game.

After that, Kentucky kept the momentum, scoring touchdowns on its next two drives, going up and even-tually winning 27-13.

“As I told our team, we came here to win, and not to lose,” Enos said. “Our football team wanted me to go for it and our coaches did too. If you make it, maybe sustain the drive and kick a field goal. Didn’t convert that time.”

Radcliff was one of the players on the sideline who was pleading for Enos to go for it.

“We were telling all the coaches, ‘Hey, let’s go for it,’” Radcliff said. “We were playing to win, not to get beat. I support coach 100 percent, happy he went for it but have to convert.”

Teamsupports fourthdown call

His scoring throw came after Enos elected to go for it on fourth in inches on its own 35 yard line. CMU ran it up the middle for no gain.

“We ran one of our base plays,” Enos said. “We came here to win, not to lose.”

After the turnover, New-ton tossed a touchdown pass to a UK wide receiver in the end zone.

“Third and shorts, fourth and shorts we gotta con-vert, there’s no excuse,” said CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff. “I’m happy we went for it; we wanted to go for it. We have to convert.”

CMU came out ready in the first half, leading 13-6 at halftime. CMU had 227 total yards offensively in comparison to 94 from Kentucky.

“We came out with a lot of energy. Before the game, we all thought we were

gonna win,” said CMU wide receiver Cody Wilson. “I’m proud of our team.”

The Chippewas took their first drive down in-side the five yard line be-fore kicker David Harman punched in the 19-yard field goal.

Kentucky answered with a field goal after missing an open wide receiver in the end zone.

Radcliff got the Chippe-was in the end zone with a beautiful over the shoulder pass to wide receiver Jerry Harris from 24-yards out to put CMU up 10-3.

Both teams added anoth-er field goal each.

Radcliff threw his third in-terception of the season in the second quarter deep in CMU territory, but UK couldn’t con-vert and missed an easy field goal opportunity.

Kentucky spoils CMU’s first half lead with second half dominance

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Each half couldn’t have had more opposite results on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium.

Kentucky used a big second half , coming back and beating Central Michigan 27-13.

The Wildcats had two big plays in the third quar-ter, separating themselves from the Chippewas, then pounded the run game in the fourth quarter.

“It was the tale of two halves,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “They must have got a foot up their fannies at halftime.”

Kentucky running back, true freshman Josh Clem-ons took a carry 87 yards for a touchdown, running through and past CMU defenders. That put the Wild-cats up 20-13 and they didn’t look back.

“I thought we had him on that play,” Enos said. “Someone hit him with their shoulder and didn’t wrap up. He’s a good football player.”

Kentucky quarterback Morgan Newton rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries and was 9 of 18 for 114 yards passing, scoring rushing and passing touchdowns.

Filling the shoes of someone who did

something great isn’t usually an easy task.

In the case of quarterback Ryan Radcliff, he’s attempt-ing to fill clown-sized shoes when it comes to former quarterback Dan LeFevour.

The numbers show Radcliff isn’t what LeFevour was, but he doesn’t have to be. All he needs to do is lead the foot-ball team to victories.

To do so, he needs to im-prove two parts of his game.

No. 1. Radcliff needs to throw the ball away. This past weekend he threw a few balls into coverage that shouldn’t have been thrown in the first place.

It reminded me of a crowd trying to catch a brides bou-quet at a wedding; just throw it up and let’s see who comes down with it.

This might be why he threw as many interceptions as touchdowns last season and continues that trend (three touchdowns, four interceptions) this season.

Throwing the ball away eliminates the amount of in-terceptions and increases the amount of Central Michigan possessions, ultimately giv-ing it an increased chance of winning.

No. 2. Tuck and run the football.

I know he’s a quarter-back; I’m not asking him to transform into Michigan quarterback Denard Robin-son, but just add running to his attack. It’s better to have too many options than only having one.

The offense isn’t calling for any speed or power options anytime soon and that’s not what I want to see. I just want the occasional “Oh hey, nobody’s open. I think I will run for the first down.”

A mix of throwing the football away and running when nobody is open could pay large dividends for the Chippewas.

LeFevour’s ability to pass and run kept opposing de-fenses on their toes. He kept team’s guessing like a pitcher in baseball.

Radcliff said it best after the Kentucky loss.

“We were balanced the first half, run and pass.”

He doesn’t necessarily need to hand it off for rush-ing success. He can control his team and take it upon himself, when the situation calls for it.

There is a lot of criticism about Radcliff’s play from CMU football fans, but I’m not one. He’s a good quarter-back at this university, but can be a great one.

The Central Michigan soccer team beat the Pitts-burgh Panthers 2-0 in a dominant fashion on Friday at the CMU Soccer Com-plex.

CMU (5-1) outshot the visitors from the Big East 17-to-7, carrying the play throughout. The win over the Panthers (1-4-2) was the

second consecutive victory over a team from the Big East.

“It was really good to get a shutout and another win on our home field,” said senior defender Liesel Toth. “Over-all we did pretty well.”

Every healthy player saw

action for the Chippewas including junior standout Laura Twidle who had been out with an injury, playing 12 minutes.

“The fact that everyone contributed today makes our confidence as a pro-gram that much greater,”

said head coach Neil Staf-ford. “We have some big games coming up so we’re going to need every ones confidence to produce a good result.”

The Chippewas con-trolled play right from the opening kick, nearly scoring the game’s first goal just 10 minutes in when Toth’s shot from the top of the box was brilliantly saved by Pitts-burgh goalkeeper Kristina Rioux. The ball bounced away from her, but she was able stop the rebound as well.

Drawing distinctions between faculty members will lead

to a divided campus and has the potential to unravel union repre-sentation.

In the Friday fact-finding ses-sion between the Faculty Associa-tion and Central Michigan Univer-sity, the groups argued about the inclusion of coaches and College of Medicine professors to the union.

CMU asked coaches be removed from the union and faculty mem-bers from the College of Medicine would never be included.

While it should be every mem-ber’s prerogative to join the union, members of the College of Medicine should have the ability. After all, whether they have MDs or PhDs, they are faculty mem-bers.

The medical school has already been given a position of privilege in the budget — suggesting the new college’s faculty are better or more important than members of the FA and UTF will further dis-connect the project from the rest of the university.

Establishing a union for the CMED faculty upon its opening would place it further away from

the other colleges.Allowing one college to negoti-

ate outside the FA would set the precedent for other blocks of pro-fessors to defect as well, weaken-ing the overall union.

Obviously, CMED is quite dif-ferent from other colleges on campus, but the faculty will still be teaching and the FA should represent all full professors on campus.

Coaches, on the other hand, are a little different than a normal faculty member.

Rarely do coaches stay in one place for their entire career, let alone for longer than a decade.

Coaches provide a valuable education to student athletes, but their jobs differ enough from professors and it’s understandable that they aren’t a part of the FA.

There is little reason why the FA needs to have coaches in the group as they serve very different roles from professors.

Keeping coaches integrated into a system that obviously is not suited to their unique situation would be wrong for both sides, but the university has to stop insisting on special treatment for CMED and its every element.

ANDREW DOOLEY [WorkBird]

I’m writing to the campus com-munity to raise awareness for the Supervisory-Technicals (STs) on campus. The STs are an employee group of about 100 members. Like Central Michigan University’s Fac-ulty Association, we are currently in contract negotiations. We have been working on an expired contract for the past 14 months.

You might work with an ST and not even realize it. Some of us work in science labs, or as office manag-ers or press operators. We occupy positions on campus that are often one of a kind and serve an impor-tant role in furthering the mission of the university. Our jobs often require

more than a high school diploma, and in many cases, require a mini-mum of a Bachelor’s degree in our field of employment as well as prior experience in similar positions.

Independently of each other, both the FA and the STs have come to many of the same conclusions during negotiations, and have many of the same concerns. This is sig-nificant, as these conclusions were reached by two entirely different teams of individuals coming to the table with the administration.

Two of the issues we are currently trying to resolve in our negotiations (as are the faculty) are compensa-tion, and benefits. It’s a plain fact.

Now on the surface, it would ap-pear that contract negotiations are just about money. But there is also something that both the faculty and the STs are bargaining for, some-thing we do not feel should be on the bargaining table but which has arisen as a result of our negotiations.

Respect.Respect is more than both sides

talking calmly to each other at the bargaining table. It’s more than giv-ing a little to get what you want. And it is even more than civility. Many a leader has been civil face to face as they prepared their agendas behind closed doors. But what we want, what we need, is respect. Respect

for the resources it took for us to learn the skills necessary to do our jobs. Respect for the thankless tasks we all do that never make the press. Respect as human beings who are more important than any building, any donation, any tangible thing on this campus.

It is said that when one door closes, another opens. Whether we close the door on respect and open the door into the grand darkness that is big business, is up to all of us, here and now.

Central Michigan University has a strong financial foundation.

That’s the truth.If it didn’t, the government

would step in, figuring $68 million of tax money goes toward the uni-versity each year.

During University President George Ross’ speech, he even said, “And the state of Central Michigan University is indeed strong.”

Central Michigan Life’s Fri-day editorial stated, “University President George Ross said Central Michigan University was in strong financial shape in his State of the University Address Wednesday.”

I received a call from Steve Smith, director of public relations, early Friday morning saying we had misquoted Ross and asked if we could fix the situation by print-ing a correction.

He said the context was in an academic sense, as Ross had spo-ken about academia prior to saying the quote.

I refused, citing my major issue — when any president, of a busi-ness or otherwise, tells you their company is “indeed strong,” that encompasses finances, academics, students and faculty.

Smith explained to me the rhetoric, saying governors and presidents say similar things all the time during their state of the state, or nation, but that doesn’t mean they are financially in good shape.

When did CMU become a place so concerned about the politics of giving a speech?

I asked Smith whether CMU was financially struggling and he de-clined comment, saying that was not the issue.

An editor’s note was added to the online version of the editorial and I added Ross’ direct quote to give more clarity to readers.

As Ross was giving his State of the University, several buildings over in Powers Hall, Vice Provost of Academic Administration Ray Christie said under oath that CMU never had an issue with giving the Faculty Association what they had originally asked for in contract talks between the two.

“We’ve never stated we could not afford it,” Christie said.

But would a university admit it can afford pay increases if they are financially struggling?

CMU has acted like the victim in all of the FA contract talks, claim-ing it lost $12 million in Michigan funding this year, which is true.

What CMU isn’t saying is the added 3.47-percent tuition in-crease will more than make up for the $12 million loss from the state.

For the 2010-11 fiscal year, CMU made $189,691,837 from on-cam-pus tuition dollars. For 2011-12, CMU is anticipating $204,496,263.

That’s nearly $15 million, which makes up for any loss in appropri-ations they received. In fact, CMU almost made an additional $3 million from on-campus tuition, and that’s not including increases for ProfEd and other programs at CMU.

Just a year ago, then-board of trustees Chairwoman Stephanie Comai called CMU a “rock-solid place financially.”

Now, here is another interesting fact: CMU is paying $5 million a year for five years to fund the Col-lege of Medicine.

A college would not start a $25 million investment if it didn’t fig-ure out its finances first.

That’s the bottom line.CMU might have, but if it didn’t

anticipate a lack of Michigan funding, several administrators need to be fired.

Now fast forward to today, the College of Medicine is almost

complete, we are still waiting on millions in donations and CMU administrators are complain-ing that we do not have enough money.

Seems odd, doesn’t it?Maybe Ross’ quote was taken

out of context, I’ll leave that for you to decide. But I do think the speech is a part of a bigger prob-lem at CMU: The administration seems too concerned with politics rather than making correct deci-sions.

Current Chairwoman Sarah Op-perman has refused comment on the FA and CMU contract issues, forwarding all contact to Steve Smith.

She is the same person who makes decisions on our budget, our administrators and is appoint-ed by the government.

CM Life has complained time and time again about the open-ness of this university, for the availability of everybody who is a “decision-maker” to have a voice and tell us what they think.

Now, the one person whose words might mean a little bit more than Ross’, goes silent.

This is just another ploy, and I am tired of this political rhetoric CMU has decided to give not only from its president and public rela-tions, but its Board of Trustees as well.

Eric Dresden Editor- in-Chief

Finances aren’t an issue for CMU

Having moved here within the past month,

I was having a little trouble adjusting to a few things.

I left everything I know and love in Lansing behind. I also left the music scene that I love and am greatly involved in behind to continue without me.

Now, I’m not naive; I know it will go on without me just fine.

Bands will still continue to write music, tour and play shows. People will con-tinue to attend shows, buy shirts and CDs and have a great time.

I just wish I could be there to scream along with all of my friends.

I guess it was time to make some new ones.

On my first night in Mount Pleasant, I felt like I had never left Lansing’s scene of late-night shows and rock ‘n’ roll.

Elliot Street Lunatic was playing at Rubble’s Bar 112 W. Michigan St. Elliot Street Lunatic is admittedly a group of very good friends of mine, so it was quite a welcome, smooth landing into my new life in Mount Pleasant. After that night, I made it a point to get to know some of the players in Mount Pleasant’s music scene.

Having already known promoter Corey Densmore and musician Joe Hertler quite well, I felt like I need-ed to meet some entirely new faces. I went on a long walk from Robinson Hall to Justice Records where I explored the vinyl and CD racks, the vegan cookbooks and conversed about Joy Division with the locals.

This experience, although bittersweet (since the store is closing at the end of this month), helped me realize that wherever I go, there are always people helping to build and maintain their local scenes.

There will always be peo-ple just as enthusiastic as me about music. I also learned the Wesley at CMU used to run punk rock shows, and Kaya Coffee and Tea inter-mittently runs shows as well.

Maybe I’m not so lost, after all.

Maybe, after a little adjust-ing, things will be just like home.

Some local students and community members are tak-ing the opportunity to leave their air-conditioned class-rooms and homes to experi-ence what learning was like in 1901.

Located on the corner of Preston Street and West Cam-pus Drive, the Gerald L. Poor one-room schoolhouse will open its doors to the public every second Saturday of the month. It now also offers public tours, which started in May.

“Kids love experiencing a day in the life of students decades ago,” said Kellie DeSchutter, Troy senior and tour guide.

The schoolhouse is authen-tic to the time period, featur-ing rules displayed for students that include “four lashes for boys and girls playing together” and replicas of original desks and textbooks.

“It was like stepping back in

time when I walked in,” said South Lyon sophomore Cath-erine Kelley. “It’s awesome that we have this available to us right on our own campus.”

DeSchutter said the largest tour annually in the summer.

“I love dressing up in clothes from the 1900s and putting on a show for everyone that comes to the tours,” DeSchutter said.

A typical tour features a day in the life of a student, begin-ning as the school bell rings and the students file in on opposite sides of the room. Then, visitors say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing a song.

DeSchutter then discusses discipline policies and gives a short lesson in reading, writ-ing and arithmetic. Finally, stu-dents can make butter the old-fashioned way and play recess games, like jacks and baseball.

There are also other activities that can be added to tours such as pottery and puppet shows.

“I always talk about pranks the kids used to play, too,” De-

Schutter said. “For example, boys used to take the ink wells and dip the ends of girls’ pony tails in them.”

Although elementary schools schedule visits, many Central Michigan University students enjoy attending as well.

“Coming here reminded me of field trips I used to take in el-ementary school,” said Kimball sophomore Travis McBride. “I remember being in awe of the differences between schooling then and now, and it’s still so interesting to me.”

All schoolhouse activities are run by students in the museum studies or associated programs. New activities are added sev-eral times a year to keep new visitors coming.

“The schoolhouse is here to educate people on the his-tory of schooling in America,” DeSchutter said. “We’re really fortunate to have this on our campus.”

Schoolhouse tours give students glimpse of learning in early 1900s

A new policy requires Central Michigan Community Hospital employees to receive the influ-enza vaccine.

All staff and volunteers must receive the vaccine by Oct. 31, or they may opt out because of medical, religious or personal reasons. If employees or volun-teers do not receive a vaccine, they will consequently be re-quired to wear a face mask for the flu season, which is from November to December, re-gardless of their opinion, said Nicole Sanders, marketing and community relations specialist.

“Our goal for doing this is to protect vulnerable patients, with patient care being our number one concern,” she said.

CMCH vice president of pa-tient care services Sheri Myers said influenza has by far the highest rate of mortality among infectious diseases nationally.

“Since the flu spreads from person-to-person contact, it is important to get vaccinated,” she said.

Myers said it is rare for people to acquire the flu after getting the shot, but people may expe-rience mild side effects such as temporary soreness.

“As a health care institu-tion, we have the ethical and moral responsibility to protect vulnerable patients,” she said. “The most effective strategy for this is requiring the annual vaccine.”

Myers said CMCH is late to adopt the policy compared to other institutions, but the com-munity should expect it and prefer it. She said most people will not want to wear the mask, so it may help encourage par-ticipation in receiving the vac-cine.

“If it doesn’t sit well with the staff, we are fully prepared to stand strong for our patients,” Myers said.

But Shela Khan Monroe, Michigan Nurses Association labor relations specialist, said MNA, which represents over 10,000 Michigan nurses, does not support this new policy.

“The hospital abandoned the Virginia Mason policy by not giving employees the op-tion of whether or not to wear the mask,” she said. “There is a large number of nurses con-cerned because they medically cannot take the flu shot and they feel they are being ostra-cized.”

Confidentiality concerning employee medical conditions is

another playing factor because those who wear the face mask will be designated as not vacci-nated, she said.

“We are in full support of protecting patients’ well-ness, but we do not support the unilateral implemen-tation of having to wear a mask if not given the vac-

cine,” she said.She said because hospi-

tals are public entities, usu-ally patients and visitors, who aren’t required to be vaccinated, outweigh the staff. Instead of requiring the vaccine, there should be a more proactive, educa-tional approach of prevent-ing the flu.

Khan Monroe said the MNA is currently trying to address the policy and find some middle ground both parties can agree on.

Bannasch said they expect over 300 people to participate, including a few professors who have expressed interest.

“CMU is a big campus and most people never interact with each other,” Bannasch said. “(You) have to meet peo-ple one way or another and what better way than a game?”

Pope said the college has lost some of the comput-ing power in the old Grawn computer lab, but in the long run it will be more beneficial to students so they can build teamwork and collaboration skills.

Additionally, with the new virtual machines, a student can download the client and log in with their own com-puters and have access to their U drive and to printing.

“Using the virtual desk-tops has the advantage that students can bring their computers to class and con-tinue their work when they leave,” Pope said.

Crespy said there will in-dustrial quality printers lo-cated in the new area with

a technically-trained at-tendant to ensure minimal problems with the machin-ery.

“In this environment, it’s not enough to prepare our students to work for some-body else because somebody else might not be hiring,” Crespy said. “We want them to be able to choose whether they want to work for some-body else or be their own boss.”

Some students, however, are not pleased with the closing of the Grawn com-puter lab and the relocation to Ronan Hall’s basement.

Farmington Hills senior

Stephanie Christensen pre-viously used the Grawn com-puter lab regularly for group projects, work for student organizations and her own schoolwork. Christensen said she knows Ronan is nearby, but said the luxury of having a computer lab in the same building as business classes will be missed.

“A lot of times, you only have 15 minutes between classes so the Grawn lab was great,” Christensen said. “There’s just not enough time to go to Ronan and print.”

Poet’s Collective offers writers looking for feed-back and like-minded friends a weekly place to meet .

The registered student organization Poet’s Col-lective was started to give students the oppor-tunity to be comfortable in a community of fellow peers who have similar interests.

The presidents of the club, seniors Leigh Ja-juga from Mount Pleas-ant and John Priest from Oak Rapids, are both very excited about start-ing up a new year for the group. They said they are working hard to find new members.

“We’ve recently creat-ed a Facebook page and we plan on chalking, and hanging up and hand-ing out as many flyers as possible,” Jajuga said. “We just want everyone to know that no matter their major or minor, they are more than wel-come to come out and join Poet’s Collective.”

The group is interested in making writing enter-taining.

“If you are planning on going into poetry or doing a creative writ-ing major or minor, this RSO looks really good on a resume, and it shows future employers or schools that you do have an interest outside of the mandatory classes,” Ja-juga said.

Creative writing class-es have become larger with 18 people or more to a workshop, which Priest said is extremely large for a workshop.

“Enrollment in writing classes is growing and we’re hoping that a lot of

Poet’s Collective seeks new members, offers workshops

the creative writing majors come out and enjoy what they love outside of class,” Priest said.

Each week Poet’s Collec-tive provides workshops for everyone to become bet-ter writers and learn about new schools of poetry, Priest said.

“Anyone with any inter-est in poetry is welcome to come,” he said.

Priest said the comfort-able setting provides an op-portunity to make friends and share interests out of

the classroom.“Fostering an open envi-

ronment where people can be comfortable is most im-portant to me, sharing your own work is a pretty private and important thing,” he said. “So I think having this comfortable environment will be a wonderful way to get people out to share their work.”

Poet’s Collective meets 8 p.m. every Tuesday in Anspach 260A.

sean ProCtor/staff photographer A CMU student rides their bike down Fancher Street with dozens of others during the Critical Mass ride Friday evening. Critical Mass aims to promote awareness of biking as an alternative to driving.

By Ben HarrisSenior Reporter

Participants arrived on campus at 5 p.m. Satur-day with slick chains and pants rolled ready to take on Mount Pleasant by bike.

Bikers met in the grassy area between Anspach Hall and Pearce Hall and left around 6 p.m. for a seven-mile route that went down-town, toward West Campus, around the Student Activity Center and back to campus, ending around 7:30 p.m.

The ride was a local varia-tion on the monthly Critical Mass rides that take place internationally. Critical Mass events promote biking as an alternative to driving.

“I’m excited and a little nervous,” said Kyle Gos-tinger, Mount Pleasant se-

nior and event organizer. “I’ve been planning this for about a month.”

Gostinger said the ride is supposed to be respectful and fun.

“It’s a beautiful day for a bike ride. I just wish we had a boom box with some music and that would make it more fun,” said Walled Lake senior Sara Bohan.

Bohan said she heard about the event through Gostinger and Facebook.

“I wish it was advertised around campus so more people would come,” Bohan said.

Gostinger said he wants to make Critical Mass a month-ly event as long as the weath-er is conducive to biking.

“I got the idea by mostly seeing other events online and seeing it was something

lacking in town, at least in recent years,” Gostinger said, “and I thought I would be the one to kick it out.”

Gostinger said there is a Facebook event for the ride, but he plans to make a per-manent Facebook page to keep people updated.

“I’m kind of a recent con-vert to the wonders of bik-ing,” Gostinger said, “and I’m diving in head first and hav-ing fun with it.”

Before the ride, Mount Pleasant senior Nicole Shackelford said she thought the event would be fun, and she planned to make it the whole way.

“I’ve never ridden with a large group of people before, so I think it will be a good ex-perience,” Shackelford said.

Critical Mass bike riders cruise around town, campus

which can add up to $60. The process is set up by appointment and takes an

average of 45 minutes.Clio sophomore Rob Mut-

er said he does not use the money for student loans, but puts it toward groceries and necessities that are otherwise overshadowed by his tuition bills.

“I chose BioLife not only because it is a great way to earn money, but because it is also a good cause and helps create medicines for people that need them,” Muter said.

After continued pressure from CMU junior mid-fielder Ashley Mejilla, she scored the Chippewas first goal in the 19th minute.

Senior defender Betha-ny Allport carried the ball down the left side of the field and sent a high cross into the box which was headed in by the Mejilla.

“I think as our players mature they are going to continue to get more ag-gressive offensively,” Staf-

ford said. “We have some players that are starting to step up; some of them are only sophomores.”

CMU ended the first half outshooting Pitt 10 to four, scoring its second goal ear-ly in the second half.

In the 47th minute, after a scramble in front of the Pittsburgh goal, freshman Laura Gosse scored her team-leading third goal when she headed a ball into the back of the net off of a rebound. Pittsburgh’s best opportunity to score came with 15 minutes re-maining after a scramble in front of the CMU net.

The Panthers had a shot at the open net, but junior defender Katie Slaughter cleared the ball at the goal line preserving the shutout.

Redshirt freshman Grace Labrecque started in goal for CMU; she recorded her second shutout in as many games, yet to allow a goal this season.

“It’s great to have two goalkeepers that can give our team confidence,” Stafford said. “We’re really happy with the way Grace and Stefanie Turner have progressed.”

Central Michigan field hockey experienced two loss-es this weekend, though they happened in contrasting fash-ion.

The Chippewas were domi-nated 5-0 on Friday by the No.14 Wolverines and then lost 2-1 in overtime to Buck-nell.

“Michigan’s a great team, they have a great passing game and they have some strong players,” captain Pau-lina Lee said. “I think we can match them if we play are A-game.”

The performance against U of M was a far cry from scoring four-plus goals in two-straight games for the first time since 2005.

Freese pointed to many missed chances on offense, including a shot off the post.

“We have to be opportunis-tic with the opportunities that we have because we know we’re playing a much better defense then we did last week-end,” Freese said.

Michigan forward Michelle Roberts tallied the first goal and another tip-in before the half, increasing the lead to 3-0.

“I thought we did some

good things in spurts, but against a team like Michigan, you have to play well for 70 minutes,” Freese said. “Cer-tainly were disappointed with a loss, but we can take a lot out of it.”

BucknellThe Chippewas slipped up

in overtime to Bucknell, al-lowing a goal two minutes into overtime, losing 2-1.

“I was disappointed in to-day’s game,” Freese said. “We’re a good enough team to beat Bucknell, but we didn’t get the job done, so we have to recognize we can do better than that.”

Chippewas freshman Cay-leigh Immelman scored on a penalty corner for the only CMU goal, coming in the third minute of play.

It was CMU’s second goal of the season from the corner, marking Immelman’s third goal in four starts.

“Cayleigh comes in with a lot of experience, so it’s not surprising to me to see her do that,” Freese said. ”In terms of her playing experience, she really comes in here as a ju-nior.”

Netto, Bison player Kate Bow-en tied the game off a rebound in the 42nd minute.

Two minutes later CMU se-nior Brooke Sihota was given a yellow card, but the Chip-pewas survived to force over-time, despite being down a player.

“Overall, we handled it de-fensively being down 11 play-ers to 10 players, but I think that was 15 minutes we could have had more offense on the field,” Freese said.

After 28 minutes of score-less play, CMU entered its first extra-session of play since a loss to Ball State on Oct. 9 last season, 3-2.

Bucknell won it just 2:24 in the sudden death overtime to clinch the victory on a goal from Rachel Misko.

At 1 p.m. Saturday, CMU plays Iowa, marking the sec-ond consecutive week the Chippewas play a Big Ten team.

Freese hopes CMU will be more mentally focused, mov-ing forward on defense after allowing numerous penalty corners in the last two games.

“I just feel overall that a little more composure on defense will lead to better offensive opportunities,” Freese said.

A loss doesn’t always mean a step back.

Sometimes the learning ex-perience can be more of a gain than most expect.

The Central Michigan foot-ball team suffered its first loss on Saturday, but it may be tak-ing more momentum and con-fidence into next week’s rivalry game against Western Michigan because of it.

The Chippewas (1-1) held a lead against Kentucky (2-0) in the Southeastern Conference opponent’s stadium for nearly three quarters.

“We were very happy with a lot of things we did,” head coach Dan Enos said. “We got to get better, but we played a good football team and were on the road for the first time.”

Game two seemed more im-pressive than the first, despite week one being against South Carolina State, a much weaker

opponent than UK. The CMU offense that punted eight times in its opener, only punted five times in week two.

“I thought Ryan Radcliff played very well,” Enos said. “Much better than the first week.”

In both games, Radcliff threw two interceptions, but in his second game he had to throw 45 times, racking up 295 yards.

“While it was better than the first week, we still have things to work on,” Radcliff said. “It’s a matter of execution, we’re going to fix the little things.”

While the interceptions were hard to overcome, Enos doesn’t seem too concerned about them.

“Those are going to happen when you throw as much as we do,” Enos said. “I thought Ryan played very effectively. Thought he played well enough for us to win if we ran it better.”

There’s always room for im-provement, but the first half of the game showed junior wide

receiver Cody Wilson what the team is capable of.

“It gives us a lot of confidence coming to a SEC team at their home stadium, fun environ-ment,” he said. “First half I think we showed we can play with anyone.”

CMU’s offense wasn’t stopped in its first several possessions. The Chippewas gained 227 yards in the first half in compari-son to 94 for Kentucky.

“We were balanced the first half, run and pass,” Radcliff said. “It shows we can compete with anyone when we do that.”

The Chippewas certainly weren’t happy with the loss, but seem happy about what they can build on for Saturday when they head into Waldo Stadium to face in-state rival Western Michigan.

“The guys are extremely dis-appointed,” Radcliff said. “At the same time it’s time to get our minds focused on Western.”

Confidence high despite loss

tive in spurts against UK, but became too predictable as the game went on.

A key play in the game against the Wildcats was the fourth and inches decision on CMU’s own 34-yard line that head coach Dan Enos chose. People question his decision because it failed. I don’t ques-tion his decision to go for it, I question his play call.

UK found itself on the CMU one yard line up 20-13 with 5:42 remaining. Simi-lar to Enos, Kentucky head coach Joker Phillips went for it. Once again people ques-tioned the decision because a field goal makes it a two possession game with just

over five minutes remaining. I question it for that, but do not question the play call.

Junior quarterback Morgan Newton ran a naked bootleg to the right — walking into the end zone — sealing the fate of the Chippewas.

Newton’s ability to run the football kept the CMU defense guessing. Radcliff’s inability to run allowed the UK defense to assume, and it did just that, stopping sophomore running back Tim Phillips for no gain. Both team’s lined up tight, but one was predicted, the other was not. One quarterback ran effectively, another didn’t run at all.

It made a difference, and will until adjustments are made.

Radcliff finished 25-45 for 295 yards with a touchdown and two in-terceptions.

Cornerback Taylor Bradley made an incredi-ble interception right be-fore halftime to keep the Wildcats off the board, keeping CMU up 13-6. Bradley redeemed him-self after being called for two pass interferences earlier in the game.

Clemons finished with 126 yards on 14 carries.

“They came out ready to play (in the second half ),” Bradley said.

The Wildcats took mo-mentum and didn’t look back, giving CMU its first loss of the season, steal-ing one after the Chippe-was controlled the first two and a half quarters of play.

“Frustrating not to win,” said junior wide receiver Cody Wilson. “But you can’t fault any-one, we played our hearts out.”
