93 Years of Serving as Central Michigan University’s Independent Voice

[ C M L I F E ]

By Adam NiemiStaff Reporter

Students and faculty at Central Michigan University showed opposition against ris-ing student loan debt on cam-pus Thursday.

The demonstration took place outside the main entrance of the Bovee University Center against a scheduled rise in inter-est rates on federally subsidized student loans. On July 1, the rate is set to double from 3.4 per-cent to 6.8 percent, according to CNN.

“This isn’t just inflation. This isn’t just higher cost of living,” said demonstration organizer Andy Blom, a philosophy and religion faculty member. “This is a result of the decisions made

by public officials at the state and federal level and also the effect on university administra-tors who continue to let budgets grow because they know it’s funded by debt.”

Blom said he invited students in his classes to join the dem-onstration, wearing white shirts with their personal student debt written on them.

The debt written on Blom’s shirt was just under $30,000.

“I’ve encouraged students to come down and show their stu-dent debt and raise awareness,” Blom said.

Some demonstrators also stood near Preston Street to catch the attention of people driving by. Some honked.

Blom also organized the 99 percent Central movement, as

part of a national opposition against the one percent of peo-ple in the US who hold much of the nation’s wealth. A flyer he distributed said students begin paying student debt after gradu-ating, and monthly payments average to about $338 a month for the first 10 years.

Blom said the national stu-dent debt is about to reach $1 trillion.

“It could be the next debt bubble that could drive the economy further into reces-sion,” Blom said. “It affects the overall economy. There’s all this money not being spent in the economy, because it’s being paid back to student loan debt.”

Blom said the issue has been on his mind for a long time.

“Personally, I’ve been con-

cerned about rising student debt for many years,” Blom said. “I didn’t need to carry as much debt when I was going through undergrad.”

Allie Young, a senior from Utica, was one of the students in Blom’s class invited and encour-aged to join the demonstration. She said students now might not realize how student loan debt will affect their lives.

“I don’t think (students) re-alize our lives are going to be on hold, because we won’t be able to afford starting a family and having a house and a car,” Young said. “They won’t be able to get married and have a house, because they’ll be paying stu-dent loans.”

Central Michigan University President George Ross has hired a consulting firm to offer advice on the implementation of the strategic planning process.

Penson Associates, a national higher education professional consulting firm based in Palm Desert, Calif., works with colleg-es, universities and state systems of higher education.

Penson has served clients such as Indiana University, Lin-coln College, Youngstown State University and Northern Michi-gan University.

“I really wanted Penson to help the strategic planning team engage key stakeholders so that the hopes and dreams of our fac-ulty, students, staff, alumni and community members are re-flected in this plan,” Ross said via email to Central Michigan Life.

To date, CMU has paid Pen-son a total of $21,419. Ross said Penson will continue to be uti-lized by the strategic planning team until an effective plan is developed.

The Strategic Planning Com-mittee was formed about a year ago and is co-chaired by Claudia Douglass, interim vice provost for Academic Affairs, and Barrie Wilkes, associate vice president and controller.

“Working with senior leader-ship and the university commu-nity, the team will develop the institutional vision statement, determine broad strategic ini-tiatives, identify priorities and recommend action plans and measurable outcomes,” Ross said in a message released to the university in April 2011.

Sacred Heart Academy graduate Dominic Sheahan-Stahl cannot speak at com-mencement after officials found out he was gay, he said.

He was not told by Sacred Heart but informed by his mother, he said in a video posted on YouTube yesterday.

“I was very taken aback and shocked by this,” he said.

A Facebook page called “Let Dominic Speak” has received more than 1,500 likes since its creation last night.

Sheahan-Stahl said the reason he cannot speak is because he is openly gay on Facebook, and the bishop wouldn’t allow him to make a speech.

Sacred Heart officials did not return calls seeking com-ment Thursday.

Former Spectrum President and current Student Govern-ment Association President Justin Gawronski disagrees with the decision and said he doesn’t think anyone should be discriminated against.

The first thing Stephanie Jaczkowski said she will do when she gets to Poland is buy a lamb kebob.

The Clinton Township senior has been awarded a Fulbright fellowship in Poland to work at the University of Gdansk for about nine months.

“I’m super excited just to be back. I spent five months there and loved it,” she said. “I’m looking forward to making new friends and being a teacher, but I’m also really excited to hang out with the people I met the last time I was there.”

Lori Hella was appointed Cen-tral Michigan University’s Vice President of Human Resources Wednesday.

Hella, former director of ben-efits and wellness at CMU, has held the interim associate vice president of Human Resources position since June 1, 2010. A national search was held for the position before Hella edged out finalist Mark Ankenbauer, former associate Vice President

for Human Resources at Wayne State University.

According to an email from University Communications, Hella started the permanent po-sition on April 25 and will receive an annual salary of $126,500.

Hella has worked in CMU’s human resources departments since 1996 and previously worked human resources roles with Saint Mary’s Health Services and marketing firm Talent Tree Personnel. Along with serving as the former director of benefits and wellness, she has also served

as personnel generalist, com-pensation and benefit analyst and assistant director of com-pensation and benefits.

Hella said she is excited to have been appointed for the po-sition, and it will help the future of the department’s organization to no longer have an interim vice president.

“I think it’s nice for the depart-ment, because I’ve had the inter-im position for almost two years, and when you’re in that interim status, there’s just a little bit of un-certainty of whether there will be

additional organization changes to the department,” Hella said.

Hella said her experience with human resources since 1996 will help, should the department run into problems they have seen in years past.

“I think (prior experience) is going to be very helpful, because familiarity with the history of CMU gives me a solid founda-tion of why we’ve done things the way we have in the past,” Hella said. “If situations come up with something we’ve dealt with in the past, it will certainly help for

those similar situations in the fu-ture.”

Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services David Burdette said the search com-mittee for the position, which consisted of six university em-ployees, received more than 40 applications for the job before narrowing the search down to three candidates, who were in-vited to campus.

“The search committee re-ceived 40 applications, screened those, and of those 40, we invited five potential candidates to a

Skype interview,” Burdette said. “Of those five, we invited three to visit campus. Of the two finalists, Lori was by far the most supe-rior.”

Burdette said Hella’s back-ground experience in CMU’s human resources department made her a qualified candidate for the position.

“She’s a great team player, and she cares deeply about CMU and the university’s employees,” Bur-dette said.

She found out she won the fellowship on her way back from a tour of the pub-lic affairs program at Indi-ana University in Bloom-ington, Ind. Jaczkowski said she had called her mother and said she would be go-ing to IU.

But then she returned to her friend’s apartment. It was 1:30 a.m., and she had not checked her email all day. After checking it, she found an email in her in-box from Phame Camare-na, director of the Honors Program and the National Scholarship Program Di-

rector at Central Michigan University, congratulating her for winning the fellow-ship.

Camarena said he and his department became con-fident when they saw the quality of Jaczkowski’s ap-plication.

“We were cautiously opti-mistic,” he said.

It will be essential for students to explore the pro-gram earlier, he said, but having an award winner will give younger students something to aspire to.

Jaczkowski got her admis-sion to IU deferred for a year. She said she plans to get her master’s degree in public af-fairs and a master’s in Russian and European studies.

“I’m going to work my ex-periences with Poland into my entire career. It’s not just a one- year thing,” she said.

Jaczkowski said she hopes to move to Washington, D.C. and be a policy analyst or do analysis for the government in some way.

“There are a couple oppor-tunities that would be really interesting, and obviously who knows what I’ll be able to do in three years because it’s three years away, but there are a ton of options,” she said.

Eventually, Jaczkowski said she wants to become a col-lege professor and is confident having an early experience in the college classroom will help her resume.

She also said she likes study-ing abroad for the challenge, and learning doesn’t stop in the classroom.

“You’re constantly having learning experiences, whether it’s going to the grocery store or a party or a restaurant,” she said. “You’re struggling to translate everything from Pol-ish to English, so every minute it’s something new, and it’s a lot more challenging than liv-ing in the United States. Even there, you get into routines, but over there, not having an umbrella might throw you

into a bigger loop because you don’t know what the word for it is.”

Jaczkowski is the first un-dergraduate from CMU to win the award and first since 2003.

She said she is speechless at times.

“I think it shows that a lot of times students don’t re-spect their degrees from CMU enough. There’s no Chip-pewa pride when it comes to our academic programs, and there’s a lot to be said for the education you can get here,” she said.

Camarena said he hopes Jaczkowski’s award will make Fulbright nominations and awards a normality.

“My hope will be that within the next two or three years we have it so that every year we have at least one Fulbright award winner. And I think that’s realistic,” he said.

Camarena played a big role in Jaczkowski’s decision to ap-ply.

“Phame (Camarena) was constantly telling me ‘you really can do this’ and constantly be-ing supportive of my applica-tion and constantly encourag-ing me,” she said.

The optimism of Camarena and the support of the Honors Program was the only reason Jaczkowski said she applied in the first place.

“I’m just extremely blessed. I couldn’t ask for more,” she said.

Ross hired the firm last fall, and it has since made recom-mendations and additions to Strategic Planning Committee.

“Penson has consulted with the strategic planning team and had conversations with members of various constituent groups including members of the Academic Senate, faculty, staff, admin-istrators and students,” Ross said. “They’ve made recom-mendations on how to more effectively engage constitu-ents, how to move forward with strategic planning and how to be more inclusive in that process using best prac-tices utilized by institutions of higher education across the country.”

“Penson has provided ad-vice to me on how to better engage the university com-munity, and they are here to help us with communica-tion,” Ross said. “Decisions on strategic planning will be made collectively by the uni-versity community and key constituent groups.”

“If they take any public funds, they shouldn’t create a community that is unwel-coming to the LGBTQ com-munity,” the Macomb junior said.

It is unclear whether SHA receives any public funding.

“If the only reason they didn’t want him to speak

was because of that (be-ing gay), then that’s blatant discrimination,” Gawronski said.

Gawronski said he is in-terested to see a statement from SHA.

“There’s more to someone than their sexual orienta-tion,” he said.

Sheahan-Stahl said he is not aiming to upset or both-er anyone but to inform that discrimination is wrong.

The speech Sheahan-Stahl prepared for com-mencement was about fear and what the world can be like, including how fear can stop a person from making a difference in life.

“I just think there has been a major decision that has been made that is very wrong,” Sheahan-Stahl said.

He said the day before the decision was made, an anti-bullying speech was given at SHA.

This year’s graduation marks the last of three gen-erations of the Sheahan-Stahl family to graduate from Sacred Heart Academy, he said, making this year significant to his brother who is also graduating.

“If it comes to the fact that I have to give the speech through a video and post it on Facebook, then that’s what I’ll do,” he said.

“I used to think the moon would follow me wherever I would go,” he laughed as he admitted the playful thoughts of his childhood. “Now, I know a little better. In my astronomy class, we learned the moon is visible wherever we are due to its opposite orbit.”

Mims enrolled in AST 112: Introduction to Astro-nomical Observations this semester, a class he said taught him more than he’s imagined about the stars, planets and the universe as

a whole. He originally chose the class as an opt-out of a harder science lab class for his University Program re-quirements but found he enjoys it, mostly for the vis-its to Brooks Astronomical Observatory, located atop Brooks Hall.

He said using the tele-scopes provided, he is able to see the craters of the moon, distant planets and stars with his naked eye. It is something he never an-ticipated experiencing in his first year of college.

“It just lets us know a little bit more about the world around us; and, honestly, I never really knew how much there was until now,” Mims said. “The great unknown — it’s really huge.”

Glen Williams, physics and astronomy professor, said the philosophy behind the lab course is to go out-side, use telescopes and teach first-hand stars, plan-ets, moons, galaxies, nebu-las, quasars and the history behind those who have dis-covered the pieces of the universe and how.

The class allows students to learn about the universe’s history by viewing the past first hand, Williams said, because looking through a telescope actually allows people to time travel.

“You can see galaxies that are millions of light-years away, and the farther you look back in time, the closer you get to seeing the begin-ning of the universe,” Wil-liams said. “That’s how tele-scopes work, and students are usually pretty amazed by that. The reaction they have by seeing something so far away so close with their own

eye is simply quite amaz-ing.”

There is no major for as-tronomy, so students who are interested in the study would need to sign as a physics major with an as-tronomy minor, Williams said. But, for those interest-ed in using the observatory, it is open once a month for public use.

Fraser junior Terese Mc-Nelis said the subject is neat but can be difficult to understand. Though hard, she encourages taking the lab class instead of just the lecture class AST 111, as you get more experience in AST 112 with hands-on tutorials and worksheets.

She said she laughed the first time she saw the stars through a telescope at the observatory, because it re-minded her of a high school boyfriend.

“We used to talk on the phone through the night and stare up at the stars together,” she said. “It was cheesy but one of those cute things you do in a long-dis-tance relationship.”

President Barack Obama is considered the favorite by many political analysts to win in Michigan, but his likely Re-publican challenger, Michi-gan native Mitt Romney, has raised more campaign funds in the state so far.

According to the most re-cent Federal Elections Com-mission data, Obama has raised roughly $1.6 million in the state by February, more than he had raised at this point in 2008.

Romney, thanks in large part to his ties to many top Michigan business leaders, has out-fundraised the presi-dent in the state by about $400,000.

Michigan has not voted for a Repub-lican presi-dential can-didate since George H. W. Bush in 1988, but Central M i c h i g a n

University political sci-ence profes-sor James Hill said

Michigan will be a hotly c o n t e s t e d state come November.

“Michigan will always

be a battle-ground state politically, and Mitt Romney’s name and money-backing will make him very competitive here,” Hill said. “I feel ... Michigan will vote to re-elect the presi-dent, though not by a large margin.”

Despite Romney’s mon-ey advantage in the state, Obama has more donors

throughout the state and has received donations from more cities than his chal-lenger.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the president has received contributions from 3,242 people, compared to Romney’s 1,445. Obama also has gotten funds from 421 cities, while Romney has re-ceived funds from 229 cities.

Romney raised much of his money in the suburban Detroit area, most notably in Bloomfield Hills, where he raised $450,691, and in Bir-mingham, where he raised $188,400.

Meanwhile, Obama did well in Detroit and in college towns such as Ann Arbor, where he raised $243,602, and East Lansing, where he raised $37,523.

In Mount Pleasant, Obama holds a large fundraising ad-vantage over Romney. The president has raised $3,262 from 11 donors in the city compared to his likely chal-lenger’s $1,150 from two do-nors.

Most donors for both can-didates are retired. However, Obama raised $610 dollars from three Central Michi-gan University employees and $500 from John Erick-son, Senior Vice President of Search Engine Optimization of Leadqual LLC.

Hill believes Romney’s im-age does not play well in col-lege towns.

“The problem for Romney in academia is he is more business than social in his approach,” Hill said. “He is seen as a banker-type person to whom people pay their loans rather than a President who revealed he only paid off his student loans eight years ago.”

When the charter school movement took root in the early 1990s, one of the claims made by supporters was that independent public schools would be able to devote less money to paying administra-tion and more to educating students.

A new study from the Na-tional Center for the Study of Privatization in Educa-tion at Columbia University found that Michigan charter schools spend twice as much per student on administra-tive costs and 20 percent less on instruction than tradition-al public schools.

The 35-page report, written by Michigan State University education professor David Arsen and assistant professor of education at the University of Utah Yongmei Ni, looked at expenditures by charter and traditional public schools in Michigan in 2007-08.

“We find that com-pared to traditional public schools, charter schools on average spend nearly $800 more per pupil per year on administration and $1,100 less on instruction,” Arsen and Ni wrote. “Some have coupled their criticism of traditional public-school spending with predictions that charter schools, freed from the inept or self-serv-ing governance of elected school boards, will reallo-cate resources to instruc-tion. These predictions are now proving false.”

The study focused on Michigan schools, because both charter and public schools must file spending reports with the state and have comparable funding.

Central Michigan Univer-sity is the largest authorizer of charter schools in Michi-gan, overseeing 56 schools.

The electronic music, arts and consciousness festi-val Wompapalooza will be coming to Salt River Acres in Shepherd May 10 through 12.

The annual event focuses on forms of electronic mu-sic like dubstep and house music.

To make the experience more enriching, creator Nick Bryce, a Lake Orion freshman, said the festival will not only host music but workshops and paint sta-

tions as well. There will also be stations for hula-hooping and group yoga sessions.

“People can be creative where they might not have had that outlet before,” he said. “That stuff goes really well alongside the music.”

Lake Orion senior Joe Hertler, known in Mount Pleasant for his band Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers, also performs electronic music under the name dryBonez. Hertler helped organize the previ-ous year’s festival and is doing the same this year as well.

“Wompapalooza is a big celebration of art with elec-tronic music being the fo-cus of it,” Hertler said. “The heart and soul of it is the cel-ebration of arts and music.”

National and interna-tional acts like New Zealand dubstep artist Truth and Los Angeles group Cold Blank are performing as well.

Midland resident Nick Mallonee will perform elec-tro-house music at the event under the name Parad0x.

“We’re also bringing in bigger headliners so people coming can enjoy Michigan music but enjoy world-class

music as well,” Mallonee said.

He said the event is get-ting a lot of attention with little press.

“We’re getting people coming out from Washing-ton, D.C., Wisconsin (and) Ohio,” he said.

Hertler said although people will be coming from around the country, the event will showcase Michi-gan artists and performers.

“We wanted to specifical-ly highlight Michigan art-ists,” he said.

FaCulty: B-Central Michigan University’s faculty

put in good effort this school year but seemed to lose steam midway through. Dealing with bullies can be traumatic for students, and the Faculty Associa-tion had its work cut out for it in contract negotiations with the CMU administra-tion. Unfortunately, as Nietzsche said, be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one. Or in this case, re-fuse to release your own voting results to members.

administration: d+The Bovee University Center renova-

tion was both wanted and needed and proved to be a successful addition to campus. However, the constant lack of transparency — including but not lim-ited to the $10 million allocated to the Events Center — has shed a negative light upon the administration, affecting their chance of a passing grade.

university CommuniCations: inComplete

What can we say about CMU’s UComm? A lot more than it said to us. Paltry efforts at transparency and ar-ranging for a new website, which is al-most as hated as it was expensive, leaves us unable to properly grade UComm course participation. Their attempt to exclude students from a speech by Uni-versity President George Ross during the Faculty Association contract conflict led to his “grown-ups” gaffe. It seems they spent too much time attempting to manage tasks far outside their scope, meaning even their most basic tasks

went unfulfilled. Perhaps CMU mixed up the syllabus with Dystopianism 101?

aCademiC senate: CCMU’s A-Senate efforts were all over

the chart, with highs and lows even-tually landing at a just-average grade. This year’s triumphs and travails can be summed up with its vote of no con-fidence against Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro: It was a brave, far-reaching measure undertaken off the agenda in the last ten minutes of the last meeting of fall semester, with no time for com-ment. Weak.

Board oF trustees: d-CMU’s Board of Trustees is really all

about class participation. Show up for meetings, speak up and take a genuine interest in the school’s welfare, and it’s an easy A. It’s pretty telling, then, that the trustees could only barely pass the course. A cursory commitment to re-newed transparency saves Kottamasu and the gang from a failing grade, but immediate improvement in oversight, starting with a plan of action, is needed.

student Government assoCiation: d-

In an independent study course, SGA was able to set its own objectives. It chose to make a transformation from a larger bicameral to a smaller, more fo-cused unicameral system its main prior-ity. The effort did not go over well, with the eventual proposal removed from the ballot before students were allowed to vote on it. The chance for a fresh start seemed wasted by President Justin Gaw-

ronski’s new administration, which was embroiled in controversy almost im-mediately. Vice President Anna Dvorak resigned within a week, and things have since settled down. We wish SGA good luck in their Seminar in Advanced Cam-pus Leadership next year.

athletiCs: eIt was a difficult year for the athlet-

ics department. While wrestling and volleyball both won conference titles, football and men’s basketball — the two teams that bring in the most revenue — struggled again. So much so, Athletics Director Dave Heeke made the decision to fire head men’s basketball coach Ernie Zeigler, resulting in son Trey to also leave the program. Within the last two weeks, five athletes have been arrested for vari-ous reasons, three of which were dis-missed from the football team. We also can’t forget the department-distorting attendance numbers for football games. While we acknowledge that many other schools do the same thing, it is a testa-ment to the university’s recent inability to attract attention to the program.

shared GovernanCe: Cr

It’s too soon to say if the Shared Gov-ernance committee created this semes-ter will work, but even the addition of it to the campus community is positive. This could be the first time the board of trustees, faculty and administration all hear each other out with no holds barred. It could also turn into a commit-tee where nothing is accomplished and members leave frustrated. Hopefully when next fall hits, we can expect plenty of positives from the committee.

Get involved early and

often

Nathan InksColumnist

ANDREW DOOLEY [WORKBIRD]

As we near the end of the se-mester, now is a great time to reflect on the things we have ac-complished as students, as well as set goals for the future.

I would like to take this time to encourage returning and future students to get involved on cam-pus and do so early.

Joining a registered student or-ganization is one of the best ways to do this, and getting involved in the leadership of an RSO is both rewarding and a great way to build a resumé. If you cannot find an RSO that fits what you are looking for, start your own. It will take a lot of work to get it off the ground, but helping fellow students get involved in an RSO is one of the most emotionally rewarding things you can do.

At this moment, CMU is going through some interesting times—we have had major conflicts be-tween the administration and the faculty, controversy surrounding the medical school and issues with funding for the events cen-ter. All students have a vested in-

[CoMMEnTS]

terest in these issues and the vari-ous other issues facing CMU right now, and the amount of students who complain about these issues vastly outnumber the students who actually get involved to shape the direction CMU goes.

At the beginning of this school year, I saw these issues brew-ing and wanted to get involved. I looked into being nominated for the Academic Senate, but un-fortunately, it did not fit into my class schedule, and not getting in-volved in shaping the discussion at the university earlier in college is one of my biggest regrets.

I would encourage anyone in-terested in these issues to look into stepping up and joining the Academic Senate, Student Gov-ernment Associations, or any of the various committees that shape university policy. This is your uni-versity, and you have a vested in-terest in it; whether you tend to agree with the faculty, the admin-istration,, or tend to disagree with both, get involved so you can am-plify the magnitude of your voice.

This being said, taking a leader-ship role is not right for everyone, but anyone can voice their opin-ions. If you care about an issue, write a letter to the editor or be-come a columnist. I was hired as a columnist back in 2009, because I was writing so many letters to the editor that I caught the attention of one of the editors. If you have an interest in writing regularly, apply for a job as a columnist. People will not always like what you have to say, but at least you are making your voice heard.

As I look back on my college career, I do not regret getting in-volved in anything that I have been a part of. Being involved on campus is not just about boosting your rsumé; it is about getting the best out of your time here at CMU, and I encourage all of you to make the most your time here at CMU.

Selected comments in response to “Sacred Heart commencement speaker refused after church offi-cials learned he was gay”.

A10koaksfedThis is a religious school. Each

religion is free to do as it pleases, free of government interference. If one does not like the actions of a particular body, one can either join it and fight from within or take ac-tion from the outside. Regardless of choice, the school is a religious institution and has the freedom to take whatever action it chooses in this matter.

Jason And this is a form of independent

press. The press is free to publish the facts of news, free of government in-terference. If one does not like the actions of a particular independent news, one can either join it and fight from within or take action from the outside. Regardless of choice, the pa-per is a free press organization and has the freedom to publish whatever

news stories it chooses in this matter.

Matthew StasoffBy that logic, a school is allowed to

be racist. This is no different than a school saying someone can’t speak because they’re female, black, etc. Wake up.

Tom JacksonI was raised catholic and even as

a young college student very devout and was about to enter into the semi-nary back home. Stories like this dis-gust me and are reasons why I left the church. The Pharisees did the same to Jesus, because they couldn’t stand to hear the truth from him. WWJD?

Andrew BlomThe “freedom of religion” issue is

completely off point. No govern-ment entity is forcing Sacred Heart to do anything.

Those of us in the community who are offended that a school would fail to treat ALL of its stu-dents with dignity are simply speaking out against its bigotry.

The school can make up its own mind about whether it wants to persist in its bigotry and alienate its neighbors.

Selected comments in response to “Westboro Baptist Church members exemplify limits of free speech in re-turn to CMU”.

tdthoughtI find their technique and execu-

tion extremely flawed. You cannot lead a group of people who want others to follow when you do not dialogically speak to them. When you are listening to their question, to spit something back to them you are ignorant and uneducated (no matter if they’re all lawyers or whatever) A conversation for un-derstanding (which I assume was a purpose of bringing them here) needs one person talking then re-sponding with the question in the answer. I give no credit to them for their ability to cut people off. They sound dumb.

Use patience

when watching first-time movies

Orrin ShawlGuest Columnist

“Critics say this is the best ac-tion movie of the summer.” “This is Katherine Heigl’s best movie.” “The New York Times gives this movie four stars.”

These are what movie previews say about movies to persuade potential customers to purchase tickets to their sub-par movies. Movies that can cost anywhere between $5 and $11 at the movie theater.

These movies can be rented for as low as $2 for one night and watched on Netflix for almost $8 per month with a little patience. With even more patience, you can see these same movies on FX or TBS for free. So why is every-body wasting their money at the movie theater? In the old days, there were original movies that to this day are classic hits, such as “Forrest Gump”, “Titanic” or “Field of Dreams,” which sold a lot of tickets and became popu-lar.

These days, movies rely on how awesome the preview makes the movie look to sell their tickets. It makes sense the movie produc-ers would focus on the previews rather than how good the movies are. What do they care if you buy their tickets and walk out of the theater before the movie starts? You already gave them the mon-ey.

What makes the movie pro-ducers laugh even harder at us gullible ticket buyers is how will-ing we are to pay to see movies

we already own. “Titanic 3D” raised $53,992,038 as of April 5, after being on the big screen for 21 days with a slightly more three-dimensional vi-sion and a different star alignment. “The Phantom Menace”, a film most would agree is a terrible mov-ie, raised more than $43,408,772 after being re-released in February.

Ridiculous.The blame should not lay just on

the previews manipulating the con-sumers. A lot of people will go see a movie just because they’re part of an actor/actress fan base, like with Jonah Hill or Megan Fox. These ac-tors and actresses were such a hit in one or two movies that everybody thinks they will be as funny or sexy in every movie they sign a contract for.

Popular book series, such as “Harry Potter,” “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games,” rely on their book fan base and other people jump-ing on the band wagon for their ticket sales. Those behind the mov-ies can’t be blamed since they are simply trying to do their jobs in an industry with high demand. The movie watchers willing to pay too much to watch something they think might be good so they are not left out of the conversation about the movie the next day are to blame.

Dates are not an excuse to go to the movie theaters because of the two hours of no communication with each other.

Feel free to watch any movie you want, but do it for the price that movie is worth.

Gary Naeyaert, Senior Ad-viser for Policy and Com-munications at the Center for Charter Schools at CMU, declined comment relating the results of the study to the charter schools CMU over-sees.

Naeyeart said CMU is re-sponsible for selecting a board of directors for each charter school and ensuring that the school meets all state and federal requirements.

“We just monitor (the schools),” he said. “We don’t make decisions. We only hold them to results.”

Buddy Moorehouse, di-rector of communications at the Michigan Association of Public School Academies,

which represents all charter schools in the state, said the two types of schools are too different to compare.

“The bottom line is that the study tried to make it seem like students are being shortchanged in some way,” he said. “The problem is it’s impossible to do an apples-to-apples comparison.”

Moorehouse said char-ter schools’ administrative spending often covers ex-penses traditional school districts do not have, such as renting the buildings they occupy.

The study found adminis-trative spending in charter schools declines by about $30 per student each year. Moorehouse said this could be explained by start-up costs, like purchasing tech-nology, that decrease after the school has been operat-

ing for several years.Michigan has the highest

percentage of charter schools run by for-profit firms. These schools, which comprise about 80 percent of the state’s charter schools, spend about $312 more per student on administration than other schools, the study found.

The study did not inves-tigate the impact of these spending differences on the education students receive.

Most of Michigan’s charter schools are located near De-troit, which has the nation’s third-largest percentage of students in charter schools. Moorehouse said 33 to 34 percent of Detroit students attend charter schools, which parents see as an alternative to “failing school districts.”

IN THE NEWSGOOGLE PAYS FINE BUT DENIES IMPEDING STREET VIEW PROBE

By Jessica GuynnLos Angeles Times (MCT)

SAN FRANCISCO - Google says it will pay the $25,000 fine imposed by the Federal Communications Commission but disputes the regulator’s contention that it obstructed a probe of its Street View program.

“Google has cooperated fully with investigations around the globe regard-ing this matter, acting in good faith at all times,” the Mountain View, Calif. com-pany said Thursday in a let-ter to the FCC.

The search giant also re-vealed the U.S. Department of Justice had already com-pleted its investigation into whether Google violated wiretapping laws when it collected and stored data from unprotected wireless networks while operating specially equipped cars that cruise the streets taking photographs for its map-ping service.

The Electronic Privacy In-

formation Center, or EPIC, the Washington advocacy group that filed the origi-nal complaint with the FCC over Google’s controversial data-collection practices, sent a letter Monday to U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., calling the FCC’s probe insufficient. A person familiar with the investiga-tion who was not autho-rized to discuss it publicly said the DOJ wrapped up its investigation in May 2011.

“The DOJ had ac-cess to Google employ-ees, reviewed the key documents,and concluded that it would not pursue a case for violation of the Wiretap Act,” Google said in its letter to the FCC.

The FCC also said it did not find evidence that the company broke eavesdrop-ping laws in collecting In-ternet data from millions of unknowing U.S. house-holds. It proposed a $25,000 fine on April 13, alleging Google stonewalled its in-vestigators.

w Softball gets swept in a double header with IPFW, 8A

By John ManzoStaff Reporter

If there was a game near the end of the schedule that could spring the Central Michigan baseball team toward a Mid-American Conference tourna-ment run, the Notre Dame game would be one of those games.

CMU beat Notre Dame 9-4 Wednesday afternoon in South Bend, Ind.

“I thought it really was a com-

plete game for us,” head coach Steve Jaksa said.

An important four-run second inning propelled the Chippewas to victory in a game where they were behind early.

Junior Reid Rooney took a walk from ND freshman Matt Ternow-chek to start the second inning, and senior Eric Wrozek singled through the right side. That set up junior Patrick MacKenzie’s two-run single up the middle on a 1-0 count.

“I was just going up there look-ing for something good to hit,” MacKenzie said. “I was looking fastball, especially after the first pitch was a ball.”

After a bunt single from senior Tyler Hall, junior Jordan Dean capped the scoring with a two-run double.

He hit the double down the left-field line off a 1-1 pitch from Ter-nowchek. With that, Ternowchek was relieved for the game in favor of sophomore Donnie Hissa.

The middle relief, including Hissa, kept the Chippewas from adding additional damage in a 5-3 game; but, after cutting it to a one-run game, senior Steve Sabatino and sophomore Sean Fitzgerald allowed CMU to break the game open.

Sabatino gave up two runs, one earned in an inning and 2/3 pitched. Dean hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring MacKen-zie.

Senior Nate Theunissen

walked and scored when fresh-man Joe Houlihan singled.

Freshman Jordan Foley started for the Chippewas but lasted four and 2/3 innings, despite the three-run first inning he surren-dered.

Foley couldn’t find the strike zone throughout his outing, walk-ing seven batters, but managed to settle down after the first inning.

“He’s just a young kid getting better,” Jaksa said. “It’s a process, and I think he’s in a good place.

He did a good job, and I think he’ll continue to get better. He’s a smart kid. He’s good, and he’s picking things up.”

Senior Ryan Longstreth earned the victory for the Chippewas. Ternowchek received the loss, giving up six runs, five earned within an inning and 1/3 pitched.

CMU continues its road trip at 3 p.m. today as it faces Akron in Akron, Ohio for a weekend series.

Nobody in the history of Central Michigan softball has drove in more runs than senior infielder Molly Coldren.

Wednesday, Coldren broke the 13-year career RBI record, hitting a two-run homerun over the left-field wall.

Coldren began the season 36 RBIs behind the record. Af-ter Wednesday, Coldren’s ca-reer RBI total to date is 127.

The previous record was 125 RBIs held by Elizabeth Bes-hear (formerly Barnes), a CMU Hall-of-Famer and three-time first-team All-Mid-American Conference shortstop from 1996-99.

“(The record) was definitely in the back of my mind, but I wanted to get two wins today,” Coldren said. “That was our goal.”

Jonker has won over 1,000 games at CMU. She said Cold-ren is as good a hitter as any in the program’s history. Jonker said the ball explodes off Cold-ren’s bat “probably more than it’s exploded off of anybody’s bat that we’ve ever had.”

“Molly has the extremely quick hands, great bat speed

and strength. A combination that has rarely been matched in CMU softball history,” head coach Margo Jonker said.

CMU (21-23) was swept in a double-header by Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne (37-11).

The Chippewas lost 6-4 in game one and 7-5 in game two.

Coldren said her teammates didn’t say much after her homerun about the record.

“They just said congratula-tions; that was about it,” Cold-ren said. “We were just focused on getting the win.”

With eight games left in the season, Coldren will have many at-bats to increase the record.

Coldren’s sister Julie Short watched the game on a live internet broadcast from her home in Raleigh, N.C.

“I couldn’t be prouder of my sister and all she has ac-complished during her time at CMU,” Short said. “All the records she has set and bro-ken are a direct result of all the hard work she has put into her game over the years. Molly plays hard and gives it her all every game and it

Central Michigan wrestler Ben Bennett would not be a three-time All-American and three-time Mid-American Conference Champion with-out a little help throughout his career.

Bennett said he received training when he was younger and credits his past coaches and others who have helped him for his collegiate success.

And now he, along with sev-eral other CMU wrestlers, are helping assistant coach Steve Brown run a wrestling club called ‘Training Station’. The club gives local high school and middle school wrestlers an opportunity to learn from established college wrestlers.

“I’ve been blessed to have a lot of people help me over the years, and so when I get a chance to be able to help coach people, it will hopefully make an impact like people made for me,” Bennett said. “It’s enjoy-able for me. It’s wrestling; it’s what I love to do. And I get to help other kids and help them accomplish their goals.”

Brown said they receive be-tween 25-40 participants every practice and have guys com-muting from an hour away.

“We’re drawing kids from all directions,” Brown said. “We have kids from Houghton Lake, Gladwin, Bay City and

even as far west as Chip Hills. Our retention rate has been phenomenal, and I think it’s because the kids are really buy-ing into the system and really having a lot of fun.”

Brown has been helping lo-cal wrestlers on the side for the past two years. As more local wrestlers became interested, it spurred the idea to begin the spring camp.

Not only do Bennett and fellow wrestlers Zach Horan, Joey Kielbasa, Lucas Smith and Kurt Alder get to work with each other but, they get to help other kids and develop a keen coaching sense that might help them later in their careers.

“I think it’s great for those guys, because they can interact with these kids and help coach as well,” Bennett said. “At first, I think sometimes the kids are a little bit hesitant working with the older guys, but I think over time, they figure out we’re just another person and really enjoy it.”

Kenneth Dittenber is enter-ing his senior year at Carson City-Crystal High School and said he has improved tremen-dously after working with Brown and other CMU wres-tlers over the past couple of years.

“I think they have really helped me with my take-downs,” he said.

The new coach has been setting up meetings with current players on the ros-ter. He said he wants to meet with all of them a few times, to talk about what is expect-ed of them in the office and on the court.

He is trying to put togeth-er a recruiting class, which has to be done “now,” as he emphatically said multiple times. He also has a wife and two young children still liv-ing in Munster, Ind.

“Once this next (recruit-ing) contact period ends, I will try to get a full night of sleep,” Davis said. “My wife’s working on organizing the house, taking care of kids and looking for place to live up here. I’m so busy for the first month, there’s no rea-son to hurry.”

Until then, Davis said he is leaving the office af-ter midnight or early in the morning, going to his hotel room for a couple hours and back in the office.

Keno’S perSonaL LiFeObviously, he won’t be

free much during his first few weeks on the job; but, when he does have time, Davis loves to hit the golf course.

When he first attended University of Iowa in the early 1990s, he dreamed of taking his golf game to an-other level, but he said his dreams had to take a back-

seat to reality.“I grew up as a pretty good

golfer,” he said. “To a point freshman year at college I was aspiring to be a re-ally good golfer, and I kind of made a decision at that point I was going to get into coaching.”

Davis said he’s been so busy coaching that he hasn’t been able to work on his game.

“I’ve pretty much added a stroke every year to my handicap,” Davis said. “Be-ing a head coach, even when I go out on the course I tend to have my cell phone at-tached to me.”

Davis didn’t talk about his sense of humor, but as-sistant coach Kevin Gamble did. Gamble said he doesn’t show it on the court, but off, he is always joking around.

“He likes to laugh; it’s a side of him people don’t often see, because he is in-tense on the court,” Gamble said.

On a free weekend Davis said he would like to spend it with his four-year-old son and nearly-two-year-old daughter.

“My 4 year old is starting to get into sports and un-derstand when he sees dad on TV, it’s neat,” Davis said. “It’s a busy time, but it’s a fun time as a parent to have them at that age.”

Keno Davis said he was getting about three hours of sleep a night – and it showed.

A week and a half after being introduced as the new men’s basketball coach, Davis had bags under his eyes and was clearly exhausted. His new office was empty, with stacks of paper on a bookless bookshelf. There were several suits covered in plastic hanging on the doorknob.

“As long as I know where everything is at, I’m fine,” Da-vis said about his unorganized new office. “I just cleaned my desk this morning.”

8A || Friday, April 27, 2012 || Central Michigan Life cm-life.com/category/sports[SportS]


Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne was too much for the Cen-tral Michigan softball team Wednesday.

IPFW (37-11) swept CMU (21-23, 6-9 Mid-American Con-ference) in a double-header, winning the first game 6-4 and the second game 7-5 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

Senior infielder Molly Cold-ren set the CMU career RBI re-cord with a two-run homerun in the first game. She now has 127 RBIs in her career, two more than the previous 13-year re-cord held by Elizabeth Beshear.

The games began an eight-game home stand for CMU.

Jonker said the team needs to look ahead to the weekend to establish momentum going into the conference tourna-ment. CMU still has a chance to qualify for the tournament.

“It’s a crucial weekend for us,” Jonker said. “There are a lot of

teams on the bubble — we’re one of them. So, we have to win these games to give ourselves a chance of making it.”

The Chippewas have a four-game losing streak going into today’s double-header against Ohio (21-22, 8-6 MAC).

“We need to turn things around,” Jonker said. “The last six games we haven’t been very successful.”

Coldren said the team is still

confident enough to produce wins despite the losing streak.

“We have potential and are able to do it,” Coldren said. “Playing at home is definitely an advantage for us. I think we’ll be able to score a lot of runs.”

This weekend, the Chippe-was also play Akron (17-25, 3-11 MAC) at 2 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

shows. I am so proud of her and love watching her play, especially when she is up to bat.”

Coldren also holds the CMU career home run record with 29, which is 10 more than the previ-ous record.

What makes Coldren’s RBI record even more interesting is that she hit more RBIs in play-ing 53 games less than Beshear. Even after the remaining games this season, Coldren will be well short of career games played than Beshear.

Davis went on to say he thinks – and hopes – his son will be a left-handed baseball pitcher. To help the cause, dad used to “swaddle” his son and put his right hand behind his back so it wouldn’t become his strong hand.

“We’ll see if it works,” Davis said with a smile.

GrowinG up in the GameAt Iowa, Keno had the op-

portunity to be an undergrad-uate assistant for the basket-ball team with his father Tom Davis at the helm.

“It was a great experience for me,” Keno said. “Here I am an undergrad student keeping charts during the game, talk-ing with coaches at halftime. At this age (18-19) to be sitting on the first seat of a Big Ten bench, that was a great expe-rience.”

Gamble played for Keno’s

father at Iowa in the 1980’s and said he was around the team long before actually at-tending the school.

“He was 13-14-15 when I played, just a young kid al-ways there,” Gamble said. “When he wasn’t at his high school basketball practices, he would be at ours. He would sit at the end of the bench for games.”

Gamble said he would lis-ten and be in on all of the pre-game talks.

“You think it might not, but when you’re around the game that much, you pick up all those things,” Gamble said.

After Iowa, Keno was offered a job to coach with his father’s former assistant – Bruce Pearl. Pearl, who went on to coach at Tennessee, picked Keno out of 100 people who applied for the job at Southern Indiana. It was a Division II school but one that won a national title the previous year.

“I learned from how intense

(Pearl) was,” Davis said. “He motivated through his inten-sity.”

Davis said he was also thankful for his Division II ex-perience. He said not having a support staff taught him how to do every little thing for the program, – which in his mind is missing in coaches that have only been at big pro-grams.

Gamble, who also coached with Keno during his time at Providence, said he coaches similar to his father.

“They sound alike, they look alike,” Gamble said. “They have the same demeanor. When you’re around someone so long, you pick up on what they do. Keno has put his own wrinkles in.”

Still, Gamble says the coach the same way – fast pace, pressure defense and are very positive with players, which he loves.
