Katrina Hibbs sticks her tongue out at Micah Nickel, 6, after
playing games both dressed up in costumes Tuesday morning at the
Nickel familys home in Shepherd. Hibbs, studying at the school of
education, has been tutoring Micah for two years when his
homeschooling first began. He has progressed so much in the past
few years, Hibbs said. The best part about being with Micah is
knowing that youre changing someones life, even if he doesnt
realize it, I know I do.

15 students volunteer time to help autistic boy
Tutoring 6-year-old Micah Nickel is more than just a
volunteer job for Katrina Hibbs.
Working with Micah has taught her what type of
teacher she wants to be after graduation.
The Ortonville senior is one of 15 Central Michigan
University students who teach Micah fundamental
social skills to help treat his autism.
In 2009, Micahs parents, Jennifer and Chris Nickel,
contacted Connections that Count, the special educa-
tion active service learning program offered by CMU
that brings student volunteers into local homes.
Its amazing the progress hes made in two years,
Hibbs said. Hes gone from being a shy boy who
wouldnt talk or touch you, to outgoing and social.

Alpha Chi Rhos Central Michigan University chap-ter has been
suspended from campus for three years be-cause of alleged hazing
inci-dents.
The social fraternity has re-
ceived a sanction of suspen-sion from CMU until the fall of 2014
for hazing potential members. The university and Alpha Chi Rhos
national chap-ter investigated reports of haz-ing and decided to
issue the suspension on Sept. 23.
Assistant Director of Stu-dent Life Tom Idema said in an email
the punishment was is-sued by the Alpha Chi Rho na-tional
fraternity in conjunction with university policy.
Idema said the decision was not made by the Interfraternity
Council, which determined the fate of CMUs Lambda Chi Alpha
chapter in early Septem-ber.
The university received a complaint that Alpha Chi Rho had been
hazing its members. The university worked with the national office
of Alpha Chi Rho to look into these al-legations, Idema said. The
national office decided last Friday to close the chapter un-til the
fall of 2014. The univer-sity adjudicated this case, ac-cording to
the Code of Student
Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures.
The decision comes less than a month after the sus-pension of
Lambda Chi Alpha, which was suspended for four years following a
recruiting violation involving non-mem-bers and alcohol.
Unlike in the case of Lamb-da Chi Alpha, in which letters were
removed from the fra-ternity house and the house closed, Alpha Chi
Rho will continue to display letters on their house and members
will
continue to live there.The loss of the Alpha Chi Rho
chapter leaves only nine social fraternities left on CMUs
cam-pus, two less than the 11 social sororities.
Members of Alpha Chi Rhos CMU chapter declined to comment on the
suspension to Central Michigan Life.
The Alpha Chi Rho na-tional office was unable to be reached for
comment by publication time.

Bill wouldcreate oversight of college boards
By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter
State Rep. Bob Genetski wants to create a commission to analyze
and start a conversation about the governance structures of
Michigan universities.
Genetski, R-Saugatuck, said under House Bill 5000, the
com-mission would examine if the current system is the most
cost-effective and efficient.
Its been a long time since weve had a discussion, he said.
The commission would also analyze the advantages and
dis-advantages of the constitutional requirement for separating
gov-erning boards for each state uni-versity and look into the
struc-tures in other states.
Genetski said he wants to find out if there is a connection
be-tween government structures and tuition rates and to see if
people understand how issues are handled in the current
sys-tem.
When tuition goes up, it is legislators rather than university
boards that receive emails from voters, he said.
The commission would con-sist of 11 voting members four
appointed by the governor who are interested in higher education,
but not officially associated with a state univer-sity, three
appointed by the state Senate majority leader, three appointed by
the speaker of the State House and one by the lieu-tenant
governor.
The superintendent of pub-lic instruction and the director of
the Department of Technol-ogy, Management and Budget would be
ex-officio and nonvot-ing members.

Mount Pleasant residents and Central Michigan Univer-sity
students came together to support the local community in Sundays
CROP hunger walk at Island Park.
The hunger walk is a national event helping hungry children and
families, not only in the U.S., but worldwide.
About 314 people partici-pated in the event Sunday
after-noon.
Mount Pleasant resident Robin Bahr participated in the event
with a group from the First United Methodist
Church, 400 S. Main St.We always participate, Bahr
said. Its a great idea and were giving back to the
community.
Mount Pleasant resident Helen Thomas was in charge of
registration for the event.
She said the event has taken place for the past 22 years.
Weve been going a lot of years, she said. We have a good
committee and lots of jobs delegated and it comes to-gether.
So far, the event has raised more than $19,000 statewide this
year.
Were providing money to feed hungry people, Thomas said.
Mount Pleasant resident Cyndy Abbott participates in the event
to help out the church. She has been involved with the walk for 10
years.
Its a very worthy cause, Abbott said. Its nice that they have
the three different walks.
She said she likes being able to choose to walk the long or
short route.
Waterford sophomore Tim Campbell took part in the walk for the
first time this year and said he was surprised to see so many
people show up.
I did it for charity, for fun, something to do and to give the
community support, Campbell said.
Ken Allen also participated in the walk for the first time. He
said he chose to participate because he thought it was a good
charity.
I feel like we can actually make a difference in the Mount
Pleasant community, the Wa-terford sophomore said.
Thomas said 25 percent of the donations go to six different
or-ganizations in Isabella County, while 75 percent goes to Church
World Service, which sponsors projects all over the world to
support the hungry.
I think its a good way for our community to get together and
help those in need, Allen said.

Another job action from Central Michigan Universitys Faculty
Association could be on the horizon if the the con-tract conflict
continues.
FA President Laura Frey told Central Michigan Life in a
vid-eo-interview there is potential the administration might be
able to legally force a con-tract on the FA if bargaining remains
fruitless after fact-finder Barry Goldman gives his recommendation
to both parties.
My understanding is if there is no agreement ... there is the
potential that the ad-ministration could impose a contract on us,
where they could take any one of their offers and essentially tell
us, thats your contract, Frey said.
If that happens, Frey said she guesses the FA will vote for
another job action, their first since the work-stoppage on the
first day of school.
The current contract issues are playing a role in the
rela-tionship between the faculty and the administration, she
said.
I would still say that I dis-agree with the response by the
board of trustees and this ad-ministration in not returning to the
bargaining table and

Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The three are members of the Junior ROTC
program and visited Central to see campus, watch the football game
and see how Centrals ROTC program works.
The governor would des-ignate one of the appointed members as
chairperson of the commission.
Genetski said the boards of trustees and regents do great jobs
with their universities, and he wants to maintain world-class
educational op-portunities.
I dont know that the cur-rent system is the best one, he
said.
If the bill passes, Genetski said it is possible the commis-sion
could conclude the cur-rent structure is best.
Genetski said the bill could also open up conversation about
elected versus appoint-ed university boards.
The states elected university governing boards include the
University of Michigan Board of Regents, Michigan State University
and Wayne State. CMU and the others are ap-pointed by the
governor.
Sarah Opperman, Central Michigan University Board of Trustees
chairwoman, said she is concerned about the hypo-thetical outcome
of a single board.
Opperman said she doesnt know what group of individu-als would
be able to give ap-propriate attention to 15 uni-versities and
understand their needs, including academic programs, physical
facilities and student services.
As complex as CMU is, I cant imagine one board being able to
look at 15 different uni-versities, she said.
Opperman said a positive result of the proposed com-mission
would be to develop more informed opinions on the oversight of
universities.
Opperman said tuition rates are a critical responsibility of the
board, since it recognizes many CMU students are first-generation
college students.
She said appointed trustees and elected governing boards are
both responsible to repre-sent the state of Michigan and develop
strong programs for their universities.
This is all about whats right for the state in the short term
and long term, she said.

The Nickel family taught students to use the Autism Treatment
Centers Son-Rise Program to develop Micahs four social essen-tials:
eye contact, commu-nication, interactive atten-tion span and
flexibility.
For two hours a day, five days a week, Micah learns various
social skills without realizing it through activi-ties students
play with him that slowly bring him out of his world.
Its important to do things he wants to do and make him happy,
since the goal is for him to be social and want to spend time with
you, Hibbs said.
His mother, Jennifer, said she is impressed with the
results of the program.In the beginning, Micahs
social skills ranked between a two and three out of five, and
now they rank between a four and a five out of five, she said.
Hibbs said she is also im-pressed with the change she and her
fellow students have implemented.
Micah is not the only child benefitting from the program.
Connections that Count reaches out to chil-dren with disabilities
and their families in Mount Pleasant, recommended by teachers in
public schools and the health department.
Counseling and Spe-cial Education Instructor Joan Hogan
unintention-
ally founded the program in 2002 when a friend called asking for
help in tak-ing care of a special needs child. Over the past nine
years, the program has con-tinued to blossom.
There is a lot of enthusi-asm and passion within our college,
Hogan said.
Although the program is associated with CMUs spe-cial education
program, all committed CMU students can volunteer, no matter what
they are studying.
Hogan said she was hap-pily surprised with the number of
students who got involved with the program, especially those
studying general education.
We want special needs children to be able to have a life like
any other child, Hogan said. By taking them out into the community,
they are able to have the ex-
periences typical children do. Its a great way to make a
difference.
Similar to real life, the volunteers must decide what the best
approach is for both the child and for the parent in each
individ-ual family.
Students are exposed to a lot throughout this pro-gram, said
Holly Hoffman, counseling and special edu-cation adjunct. When they
go into the work field, they will be able to handle situ-ations
with ease and with confidence.
Despite the professional benefits, Hibbs said the best part is
knowing her work is changing someones life.
I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to work with such
an amazing, in-spiring little boy, she said.

Masks lined the streets of downtown Mount Pleasant and adorned
the faces of resi-dents celebrating Mardi Gras festivities
Friday.
This was the first year for the mask decorating contest, which
accompanied tradi-tional activities like parades, arts and crafts,
clowns and live performances.
Jon Joslin, chairman of the event, said 61 organizations
participated in the parade, but many of the scheduled performances
were canceled because of the rain. He said once the parade was
over, many attendees opted to stay home to avoid the cold
weather.
But not everyone allowed the rain to damper the day.
We always close the store down to watch all the pa-rades, said
Jack Karr, owner of the childrens store, The New Yorker, 117 S.
Main St. We love the CMU march-ing band the most. Its a nice event
to bring the commu-nity together.
Michael Hoover, Grand Rapids senior and business and grants
director for Mardi Gras, said this was one of the first years WMHW
had a lot of involvement.
Modern Rock 91.5 had tents set up with games and prizes.
By having 91.5 and Moun-tain 101 get involved, it was a good
foot in the door for CMU as well, Hoover said.
Performing in the parade alongside the Marching Chips was the
CMU Dance Team.
The girls love it because its rare for them to get in-volved
firsthand with mem-bers of the community, said

The recent health care law has significantly lowered the number
of uninsured 18 to 25-year-olds.
Under the Affordable Care Act, established in September 2010,
children may remain or be added onto their parents health insurance
policies until age 26, said Susan Burkee, corporate communication
manager at As-surant Health.
The cost of the policy is dependent on several factors including
number of family members on the plan, so add-ing a child to the
parents policy would increase the cost, she said.
The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index reported the de-clining
number of uninsured people, a reverse after the in-crease seen at
the beginning of the recession in fall 2008.
The ACA played a role in Cen-tral Michigan University alum-na
Danielle McGoldricks gradu-ation date.
While I was at CMU, I was frantic about graduating and did
consider going to grad school ASAP instead of trying to find a job
in the real world to still be able to be covered, she said.
McGoldrick said the new healthcare plan came at a per-
fect time.I graduated in May 2011 at
22-years-old and I am still able to be covered under my parents
premium Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plan, she said.
Although this was a concern for McGoldrick, Director of Pub-lic
Relations Steve Smith said this is not an issue that has come to
the universitys attention.
Prior to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, CMU
health plans allowed employ-ees to cover their dependent children
through the end of the calendar year of their 25th birth-day, he
said.
Under the ACA, the only changes in eligibility for CMU plans
were to remove the de-pendent requirement for child coverage and to
extend cover-age for one additional year, Smith said.
Since January 2011, the uni-versity had 42 employees enroll a
previously ineligible child in one of their health plans, which was
an increase of less than 1 percent to the total number of covered
individuals, Smith said.
A survey conducted by eHeal-thInsurance reported nearly 40
percent of American parents do not plan to extend health insur-ance

Cotton said she enjoyed seeing New Day Dreamers, Lightening
Love, Stepdad and Chris Bathgate.
Im super pumped for Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers and
Frontier Ruck-us, too, she said.
Troy junior Shiva Ganga-nithi attended Wednesday and Saturday
night.
I really liked Rat Boy; the signer has a very sexy voice,
Ganganithi said. I went to Chris Bathgate because I knew one song
by him, and he didnt play it.
Ganganithi said he thought the festival brought a lot of bands
that sounded the same and it was expen-sive.
Id pay $10 if I was seeing someone bigger, but for col-lege
students thats a lot, he said. Ive also seen Rubbles more packed
for bands like the Ragbirds, but its still a good experience
overall.
Bands members, like Commerce Township junior
Ryan Hoger, member of Jet-pack On! and Joe Hertler and the
Rainbow Seekers, were pleased with the festival and turnout.
Ive seen Rubbles more packed than this, but this is the best
turn out for Mid-west Fest yet, Hoger said.
Hertler played both Friday and Saturday night in two different
bands.
Corey did a pretty good job with the lineup, where crowds could
enjoy the dif-ferent genres each night, he said. Theres been a
group of familiar faces each night, but also new people coming out
too, which is cool.
Densmore said he was happy with the festivals turnout and
lineup.
He said he plans to con-tinue the festival in down-town Mount
Pleasant again next year, with no major changes from this year to
the next.

big drawMidwest Fest brings about 150 a night downtown
By Jamie Favazza | Staff Reporter
The curtain fell on the local music festival Midwest Fest as it
wrapped up its final night on Saturday.
Organized by Corey Densmore, owner of Dia-monds in the Rough
Promotions, Midwest Fest started Wednesday and featured 20 bands
over four nights playing at Rubbles Bar, 112 W. Michi-gan St.
This years been the best turn out of all four years, Densmore
said. You have people who come to enjoy the music and people who
come to be a part of the music scene ... and everyone is enjoying
themselves.
The 24-year-old Mount Pleasant resident esti-mated about 150
people attended per night.
Remus senior Elly Cotton said she attended three of the four
nights.
I love that theres music going on in Mount Pleasant, Cotton
said. I think theres been a good turnout because you have room to
dance to the music without it being as packed.

A bill that would end ben-efits for state employee un-married
partners, both gay and straight alike, could af-fect 22 workers at
Central Michigan University.
House Bill 4770, sponsored by state Rep. Dave Agema,
R-Grandville, passed in the house with a 66-44 margin on Sept. 15
and is now going to the Senate.
CMU Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said the university
allows 22 un-married employees partners to collect benefits.
We are aware of the legis-lation and are, like other
or-ganizations and institutions, following it very closely, Smith
said. We are unable to speculate on any impact during the
legislative pro-cess.
By allowing partner ben-efits, Agema said it goes against the
Defense of Mar-
riage Act, and the Michigan Attorney General opinion from 2005
that stated civil servants and public employ-ees may not receive
same sex or unmarried benefits.
Its simply a matter of law as given to us by the people, the AG
and the Supreme Court, Agema said. It only affects public
employees. Its also a matter of costs we cant afford.
He said the original amount the legislation could save is $8
million statewide.
Agema said someone can still receive benefits if they are
married, are a relative liv-ing with the person and are a
dependent, or have the right to inherit under the Michi-gan law of
intestacy.
But those who oppose the legislation believe this is an attack
on the LGBT commu-nity, said James Jones, pro-fessor of foreign
languages, literatures and cultures and co-chairman of the
Associa-tion of Lesbian and Gay Fac-ulty and Staff.

Concerning limits on
free speechFreedom of speech is one of the most
important rights in this country, so it is no surprise that
limitations to it are a hotly contested issue.
Last week, these limitations were tested when 10 Muslim students
were found guilty of disturbing a meeting when they stood up
one-by-one in the middle of a speech by Israeli ambassador Michael
Oren at the University of Califor-nia last year and shouted things
such as, You, sir, are an accomplice to genocide!
The university had warned students that disruptions to the
speech would not be tolerated and the speech had to be stopped
numerous times to deal with the protestors.
At the heart of the case was California Penal Code section 403
which states, Ev-ery person who, without authority of law,
willfully disturbs or breaks up any assem-bly or meeting that is
not unlawful in its character is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Defense attorneys for the students argued they were simply
exercising their freedom of speech by protesting and their shouting
was not enough to consti-tute disturbing a meeting.
A jury of six men and six women dis-agreed and the students were
sentenced to three years probation and 56 hours of community
service. In response, their attorneys have vowed to appeal the case
and challenge the constitutionality of the law.
This appeal has little merit, as the California law is quite
acceptable under standards that the Supreme Court has placed on
restricting freedom of speech.
It is content-neutral, as it does not single out any
viewpoint.
It is narrowly tailored as it only prohib-its disruptions of
meetings or gatherings. A significant government interest exists,
as it is in the governments best interest to not have situations
like this where people are trying to disrupt an otherwise peace-ful
and educational speech.
Lastly, the law leaves alternative chan-nels for communication
the students easily could have demonstrated outside, written
letters to the editor opposing the ambassadors viewpoints or
various oth-er means of expressing their opinions.
A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union reacted to
the case by saying, If allowed to stand, this will undoubtedly
intimidate students in Or-ange County and across the state and
discourage them from engaging in any controversial speech or
protest for fear of criminal charges.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The Constitution
protects con-troversial speech and protests, but not when you
perform them in a way that intrudes on the speech of others.
The ambassador had every right to speak at the university, and
to disrupt his talk on the basis of freedom of speech goes against
the very American principle that, for the most part, people have a
right to say what they want without in-terference from others.
Discourse is a healthy part of the American system and instead
of trying to inhibit the ambassador from express-ing his
viewpoints, the students should have supplemented their opinions,
not try to substitute them.
-Editors note: Nathan Inks is currently the president of the
College Republicans.
The state of higher education in Michigan is in need of
change.
Recently state Rep. Robert Gen-etski, R-Saugatuck, proposed a
possible answer to that need for change.
In House Bill 5000, Genetski proposes the creation of a
com-mission, which would analyze the structure of universities to
include the state boards. The 11-mem-ber commission would examine
if Michigans current higher educa-tion system is
cost-effective.
Taking a look at the current tu-ition models at universities
across Michigan, its clear some questions need to be asked.
Can universities continue to raise tuition at such inflated
rates to pay for projects while students and taxpayers foot the
bill?
Should those same projects out-weigh the current infrastructure
of a university?
When will a market bust hap-pen, where graduating high school
students can no longer afford to attend state universities and the
number of students sharply de-cline?
In fact, in an editorial in the Grand Rapids Press, one question
was directly aimed toward Central Michigan University.
Does Michigan really need as many medical schools as it
cur-rently has with Western Michi-gan University, Central
Michigan
University and Oakland Univer-sity recent entrants into the med
school market? Are those schools duplicating programs already
pro-vided by Michigan State University, University of Michigan and
Wayne State University? the editorial asked.
Its important that state-ap-pointed boards for universities, as
well as the three that are voted on, understand they are
accountable to a higher power too, and proj-ects just for the sake
of spending money cannot be tolerated during these hard economic
times.
Its easy for administrators to say they are being fiscally
respon-sible, but when push comes to shove, are they really?
The example can be made at CMU as it is currently in a contract
conflict with the Faculty Associa-tion and claims they are pushing
for the fiscally conservative ap-proach, yet two weeks ago its
board of trustees approved a renovation with a price tag of $1.5
million to the Real Food on Campus in the Towers complex.
Is that a good example of the fiscally responsible approach,
when two other dining complexes on campus are certainly in tougher
shape than the RFoC?
Although students deserve modern facilities, the addition of a
Mongolian barbecue to an al-ready excellent dining hall does
little to improve the experience of the majority of CMU
students, and it certainly fails to fit the message of conservative
spending being re-peated by the administration.
However, many steps need to be taken to ensure Genetskis
commission wouldnt overstep its bounds, or become focused on
pet-projects.
Another question is how will they take on the responsibility of
looking at 15 universities, which focus in very different
areas.
CMU Board of Trustees Chair-woman Sarah Opperman provided a good
point, telling Central Michi-gan Life, As complex as CMU is, I cant
imagine one board being able to look at 15 different
universities.
For this proposed committee to work, it will need to understand
each university individually. Hav-ing an unbiased board focused on
the short and long-term goals of Michigan universities has the
po-tential to reduce wasteful competi-tion between schools, while
reduc-ing the dangerously inflated cost of tuition.
Though the committee would have to be carefully selected to
address the institutions it would oversee, it is at least a solid
pro-posal to move past the current un-tenable system of often
part-time trustees who have failed to address the looming problems
facing high-er education.
Whats the problem, really, with legal-izing drugs, brothels, and
euthanasia?
Ron Pauls platform is radical. Ameri-cans dont like extremes,
which is why the Texan OBGYN and modern prophet will never be
President. But hes worth more than a glance.
Hes all about states rights. Theyre kind of a big deal. Its the
reason behind the Civil War (not slavery), and it calls into
question the role of government.
The $3.7 trillion question is this: How much control over the
lives of individ-ual citizens should the centralized fed-eral
government have?
I had a really phenomenal teacher in high school who told us the
best way to teach about the relationship between the state and
federal governments was pot, booze and gay marriage.
A great example: Medicinal marijua-na is legal in Michigan. But
its not really legal, because the feds say it isnt. If U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder hadnt an-nounced the Obama
administrations decision to let the states alone, there would be
even more problems with dis-pensaries than there already are.
Another good example is the drinking age. Its 21 all around the
country. States are allowed to set their own drinking ages, but
they really dont. South Dako-ta tried doing it in the 80s and the
feds threatened to pull interstate highway funding. The state
screamed, You cant do that! But the Supreme Court said Yes we can
in 1987s South Dakota v. Dole.
Why not let the states decide these things for themselves? If a
married man wants to go to a brothel, its not the gov-ernments job
to stop him. Its his wifes.
If the people in the states border-ing Mexico decide theyve had
it with the money being spent patrolling the borders for drug
smugglers and impris-oning petty offenders, if they decide theyve
had enough of the kidnappings and murders and that they want to run
the drug dealers out of business using classic laissez faire
economics, whose place is it to tell them not to?
Ron Paul doesnt want everybody do-ing heroin. But he thinks that
if you re-ally, really want to do heroin, then you should be able
to go right ahead.
But Ron Paul also wants to eliminate the IRS and the income tax,
and maybe thats not such a good idea, because that would mean
colossal spending cuts. Its true, massive spending cuts are going
to have to happen, along with raised taxes, to get the deficit
under control and pre-vent financial collapse, but some pro-grams
need to be kept around because they do more good than harm.
And cuts as deep as Paul calls for would mean an end to a lot of
things.
So maybe its a good thing that Ron Paul will never be
president.
I think he knows that hell never oc-cupy the Oval Office, but if
he yells loud enough and causes people to re-ally question the
government and chal-lenge it to be fiscally responsible, then hes a
real prophet, as far as Im con-cerned.

Comment from COLUMN: Of course I dont look like my family, Im

Ruth Sunday
Anamaria, Thank you for tak-ing the time to share your story.
Its very important for other ad-opted children and families to hear
about good adoption stories, especially when there can be so much
negative press about the few stories that dont go well. Id say you
and your family are lucky to have each other, and hope my adopted
son feels the same way you do when he is older.
Take care and keep wirting!
Comment from Students par-ticipate in Hijab Week to broaden
perspectives of Muslim culture
Shawn Saturday
People looked at these women oddly because it is odd to cover
your hair in this fashion in our secular society. It is not hatred.
Its just weird. Muslims say that the hijab is meant to protect
women and help them be modest. I think we see here that the hijab
has exactly the opposite effect. It draws the attention of people
and points out that there is something sexual about the woman who
wears it, whereas if she did not wear it, one would not think twice
about it. Further its an outrage to have this sort of thing going
on on college campuses.
Comment from EDITORIAL: Fair pay key to becoming prominent
uni-versity
Brian Saturday
I am in full support of the FA in this current dispute, but
these numbers cannot be tossed around without taking into
consideration cost of living expenses. Im not in-terested enough
right now to look them up, but that needs to be part of the
equation.
Of course, typically with higher costs of living is also a
higher qual-ity of living. Im going to make an assumption here that
may not be true and say that it costs signifi-cantly less to live
in Mount Pleas-ant than it does in Kalamazoo or East Lansing.
Should the university be paying more to perhaps attract talented
professors to Mount Pleas-ant, which may have a lower quality of
life? I would say yes, it should.
UTFmember Friday
This is a strong, hard-hitting edi-torial, but it is also
unintentionally misleading.
By listing the total number of full-time faculty next to the
average sal-aries of full professors and associate professors, the
editorial seems to suggest that most full-time faculty at CMU have
salaries in the range of $75K-98K. This is incorrect.
Most full-time faculty on campus are assistant professors
(salaries around $60-70K) or fixed term lec-turers (salaries in the
range of $22K-$45K). Compare these latter salaries
to those of medical school associate deans ($200K-385K), and you
be-gin to see why faculy are fighting so hard for an equitable
wage.
Friend of CMU Friday
That is correct. The situation is even worse!! Which makes the
Provosts Open Letter even more disingenu-ous!
Comment from Annual salaries of two newest CMED associate deans
total $425,000
Vince88 Friday
If Central has $425K for two Assoc Deans then they have enough
money to buy out Enos and get a new coach.
Michmediaperson Friday
The Granholm-appointed Board of Trustees does nothing about
this. They encourage it.
The Democratic Party-controlled CMU Board continues to waste
mon-ey!
We need to get cost-cutting Tea Party conservatives on the CMU
Board of Trustees so the Med School would go bye-bye!

]and where is all this funding coming from? O ya undergraduate

This summer two retro-commission technicians began to examine
older buildings on campus to find ways to cut gas, elec-trical and
cooling con-sumption.
Their projects began with Carey and Merrill halls, which were
completed about a month ago. Cen-tral Michigan University will save
$4,300 a year from Carey Hall and another $10,000 a year from
Merrill Hall on manual operating costs, said Mike Walton, di-rector
of energy consump-tion.
Theres a bigger payback because energy costs are so high all
over the U.S., Wal-ton said.
Next on the list for the technicians is Robinson Residential
Restaurant, said Steve Lawrence, asso-ciate vice president of
Fa-cilities Management.
By doing this, we bring back the initial design of the equipment
being
used, Walton said. Were finding out theres a lot of equipment
that hasnt been looked over since it was first installed.
The two men, Brian Spangler and Phil McCrory, were hired July
1.
Spangler has worked with the university for over a de-cade now
and was hired internally. McCrory came in with experience, having
done retro-commissions for firms across the U.S.
Theyre pretty much en-ergy commandos, Walton said.
Its something I noticed would benefit the universi-ty, Walton
said. Ive done a lot of research over the years and have also been
talking with other universi-ties. Its been a fairly good
investment.
The University of Michi-
gan and Michigan State University are two of the in-state
universities that have been active in retro-commissioning, Walton
said.
Retro-commissioning has taken off in other uni-versities over
the years, Walton said. It is some-thing that is not very new, but
hasnt been around for long either.
In the future, Walton said he hopes to get some stu-dents
involved as well to assist with retro-commis-sioning.
Our lights are on a lot, except during quiet hours, said
Chesterfield sopho-more Floyd Foster, who lives in Merrill. I think
its a good step toward saving energy.

Technicians saving $14,300 with campus-energy initiatives
By Chad MitchellStaff Reporter
Rick Barz swung the first hammer in construction of the new
Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneur-ship Friday afternoon.
Isabella Bank recently made a $500,000 dona-tion to the College
of Busi-ness Administration. These funds sparked the creation of
the IBIE, a facility to be used by entrepreneurship students in
Grawn Hall.
Barz, Isabella Bank pres-ident and CEO, said he is pleased with
the way Cen-tral Michigan University is using the donation.
Charles Crespy, dean of the college, said the new facility will
cost about $960,000 and will open during the spring semes-ter.
We are very grateful, Crespy said. None of this
would have happened without this generous con-tribution.
Crespy said the new fa-cility will be beneficial to CMU
students.
It will be a high-tech classroom, he said. The level of
technology and the design, and the inte-gration of the break-out
rooms will give a new home to entrepreneurship students.
Aside from high quality televisions and printers, the IBIE will
feature nine break-out rooms. Crespy said these rooms will be
helpful for simulating ne-gotiations or group com-petitions.
Crespy said groups can collaborate in privacy and then
communicate be-tween rooms without dis-closing their plan to
com-peting groups.
Sandy Caul, a member of
the Isabella Bank Board of Directors, believes the new facility
will help students in the real world.
(It will be) instrumental for students to get through the maze
of the busi-ness world, Caul said. It will make them stronger and
let them continue to evolve.
Crespy said the facility will be particularly helpful to
students participating in the New Venture Com-petition. This year,
stu-dents from Michigan Tech-nological University will be able to
compete with CMU students.
We welcome the com-petition, Crespy said. The more we raise the
bar, the more students re-spond. Our goal is to start new
businesses to change the face of Michigan.

New Grawn addition started

Art Reach of Mid Michi-gan is featuring an artist who utilizes
vivid, bright colors and texture for its last exhibit of the
year.
Dana Gardner-Clark produces paintings of ani-mated animals and
people, which are being featured at its 111 E. Broadway St.
lo-cation, until Oct. 15.
Art Reach member Kari Chrenka said Gardner-Clark has very
interesting art.
Its different than any-thing weve ever had in the gallery space,
Chrenka said.
A lot of people who look at her artwork say how happy it makes
them, she said.
The emotion and fun she has with the subjects of her paintings
reminds me a lot of animation and beau-
tiful paint applications, she said.
Gardner-Clark said she has been an artist ever since she can
remember.
She pursued her passion for art and studied it at Kendall
College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids and also attended
Michi-gan State University.
The Lansing resident passed on her passion for art to her kids,
who are cur-rently in art school as well, she said.
Her work can be found in permanent collections at the Detroit
Airport, Flint Public Library and Central Michigan University.
She said being featured in Art Reach is the first one-person
show shes par-ticipated in since the early 90s.
Gardner-Clark described her paintings as straight up
water-media, mixed-media paintings.
Lapeer senior Jessica Stefani viewed Gardner-Clarks exhibits
Thursday afternoon.
One of the pieces depicts a large shark. Stefani said it is the
happiest looking shark she has ever seen.
I really like the vibrancy of color, she said. When you look at
it, its some-thing that kind of draws you in because even though
the artist uses a lot of cool colors, there is this warmth and glow
to it, mostly be-cause its very vivid and saturated.
Stefani said she liked the juxtaposition between a transparent
watercolor paint and the acrylics, which adds texture that is
apparent when looking closely at her artwork.
It urges you to get closer to the picture, she said.

The 300 freshmen in Central Michigan Univer-sitys Honors Program
have set a goal of raising $10,000 for the Isabella County Mobile
Food Pantry.
The group, in addition to volunteering, wants to raise the money
by the end of the semester.
This is the third year the Honors Program has chosen to work
with the food pantry, sponsored by the Community Compas-sion
Network. In the past, the program has benefit-ted organizations
such as the Isabella County Soup Kitchen.
Freshmen in HON 100: Introduction to Honors were divided into
philan-thropy groups of about five people. Each group was given the
task to raise $200 through various fun-draisers like residence hall
ping-pong tournaments, spirit bead sales at the Homecoming parade,
can-dy bar sales and a second-hand dress sale.
Its fun helping people that really need it rather than doing
things that dont matter as much, said Holt freshman Emily
Marlow.
Centralis scholars were divided into philanthropy groups and
given the spe-cific task to solicit dona-tions from local
businesses and the community, each with a specific focus products
and services from local businesses, CMU ath-letics apparel and
holiday donations.
Their combined dona-
tions will be entered in a silent charity auction Oct. 26.
As a class, Centralis freshmen are expected to raise $4,000 of
the $10,000 total for the project.
It (fundraising) benefits everyone involved, said Columbiaville
freshman Alison Reed.
The total of $10,000 will be presented as one lump sum at a
ceremony at the end of the semester, when each group will give a
cre-ative presentation explain-ing their fundraiser and
process.
The food bank was cho-sen because it allows all freshmen to
volunteer and interact with the commu-nity, said Judy Idema,
asso-ciate director of the honors program.
About 20 percent of Isa-bella County residents are at or below
the poverty line, according to CCN. The mobile food pantry makes
food available to more than 350 Isabella County families twice a
month.
Its an organization that makes the largest impact in Isabella
County, Idema said.
In addition to fundrais-ing for the food bank, the students will
also volun-teer by unloading deliver-ies of food from the five
trucks, sorting food into individual groups and helping community
mem-bers move through the line, gather food and load it in their
cars.
Davison freshman Mor-gan Singer said her food truck experience
was eye-opening.
You see this huge line of people and you know that over half of
them spent the night in the parking lot, Singer said. Everyone was
really grateful for the food.

Laurie Brooks play The Wrestling Season is coming Thursday to
Central Michi-gan Universitys Theatre-on-the-Side.
CMUs Ticket Central web-site describes the show as an
exploration of sexual identity, betrayal and other pressures
experienced by many teenag-ers.
Nancy Eddy, assistant professor of communica-tions and dramatic
arts and the plays director, said she thinks the show will
differ-ent because the stage will be in the center of the the-atre
and the actors will be on set for the entire perfor-mance.
The script is just a blue-print, Eddy said. Each per-son brings
what they need to illuminate the script.
Sanford senior Chris Krause is playing the part of Matt in the
show. Krause said he thinks staying on stage makes this show an
exercise.
You literally have peo-ple watching you from all angles, Krause
said. Also, when were not on the mat acting, well be seated around
the mat acting as a chorus, so were literally on stage the entire
time.
Fenton freshman Caitlin Miller plays Heather in the show and
said she wouldnt change anything about the set.
I think the audience will find this non-traditional set to be
more effective in tell-ing the story of The Wres-tling Season,
Miller said. (It) will allow them to feel more involved in the
show.
The show will incorporate audience participation by having
audience members talk to the performers and provide feedback.
Krause said she thinks this will be an effective strategy.
Im interested to see how the audience responds to the talk back,
he said. Im hoping that it will get people to actually think about
the material that was presented. If the show can get them
emotionally and intellectu-ally involved, then maybe well get a few
more people coming to the theater for en-
joyment.Tickets can be purchased
on CMUs Ticket Central web-site or by calling 774-3000.
Shows will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, Sat-
urday and Oct. 13, 14 and 15, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday and Oct.
16 in Moore Halls The-atre-on-the-Side.

An Opera Gala filled the Music Buildings Staples Family Concert
Hall with voice, piano and applause on Saturday.
About 120 people attended the event that started at 8 p.m. and
lasted until about 9:30 p.m. The first half of the concert was
comprised of op-eratic selections. After a brief intermission, the
second half of the performance includ-ed pieces from musicals by
American composers.
The program included 11 opera pieces, 10 music the-ater pieces
and featured 13 performers. Zhihua Tang, in-structor of music,
accompa-nied the performers with all pieces.
Ithaca senior Alex Strong
said it was nice to see different sides of vocal
performance.
It showed the operatic style and the American the-ater style, he
said. I thought it was very well done. It was an awful lot of music
for Dr. Tang and the performers to learn. Were only a month into
the semester, so its im-pressive they put on a perfor-mance with so
much music.
Chelsea junior Katie Steklac said she thought the performers did
an excellent job with very difficult pieces.
The performance included pieces from popular operas and
composers, including two selections from Georges Bizets Carmen, on
the op-eratic side and The Man I Love, from the popular 1924 George
and Ira Gershwin mu-sical Lady Be Good, for the musical theater
part of the
performance.Eric Tucker, associate pro-
fessor of music, told the audi-ence he hoped they enjoyed the
performances at least half as much as the kids did pre-paring for
them.
Tucker said this was the eighth year the event was held.
This is the work of com-bined vocal studios, said Allendale
graduate student Paul Melcher.
Melcher was one of the performers in the event and he sang in
three pieces.
Melcher said the perform-ers have had many of the pieces in
their repertoire for some time.
Its always really fun to show off what youve had for a while,
Melcher said.

Opera Gala brings about 120 visitors
bargaining in good faith with our FA bargaining team, she said.
My un-derstanding is that chair-person (Sarah) Opperman indicated
that they were interested in a compromise in working on a contract
with faculty, (but) compro-mise involves coming to the table.
In the exclusive CM Life interview, Frey opened up about her
time as FA presi-dent, which began on July 1. The FA contract
expired on June 30.
Meanwhile, Saturday, FA members picketed CMU and You Day just a
day after meeting with CMU for the first time in several weeks.
The two sides sat with State Mediator Miles Cam-eron but the
meeting failed to create any progress to-ward an agreement,
ac-cording to Frey.
Unfortunately, our FA bargaining team was met with the same
administra-tive positions that would result in rollbacks for
fac-ulty, Frey said in a press release.
CMU and YoU daYThe CMU and You Day
protests brought about 100 faculty but some were con-cerned
about the message given by the FA.
Student Government As-sociation President Vince Cavataio, a
Shelby Township senior, called the protests highly inappropriate.
He was concerned prospective students will see CMU as a hostile
environment.
The FA should work to re-cruit students, not inadver-tently
discourage them from attending CMU, he said.
He was also concerned for campus ambassadors whose jobs are
complicat-ed when asked about the negotiation, and they are not
sure how to answer.
It puzzles me that the FA leadership continuously states they
always have the students best interests in mind, Cavataio said.
This interest has not been dis-played, and this picketing is a
prime example.
Frey said the picketing was not detrimental to stu-dents coming
or not com-ing to CMU. The FAs at-titude toward the visitors was
one of welcome, she said.
What we are doing is only informing incoming students that we
are work-ing without a contract, Frey said. Our message is
positive.
Alumna Margaret Seidl of Rochester Hills brought her son Jacob
to the event and said didnt enjoy the sight of professors
picket-ing during the middle of a welcome day.
I think theres a time and a place and that its not right to drag
people who are considering the school into the school problems,
Seidl said. Even though they are trying to be friend-ly, its not a
friendly thing.
FA picketers said they in-tended to create awareness and pass
out information regarding the contract con-flict. They did not want
to keep students from coming to CMU.
That wasnt our inten-tion, said Guy Newland,
professor of Religion and Philosophy. We werent there to
bad-mouth the school.
Grand Blanc freshman Samantha Pinter said she lost some trust in
the group.
Ive supported the fac-ulty, but I dont think today is the day to
be protest-ing, she said. I dont think I would be as excited as I
was last year if I saw faculty protesting.
Harrison Township se-nior Jessica LePage said the demonstration
made CMU look bad. Picketing in front of families trying to enjoy
tailgating was in bad taste, she said, and might push people
away.
You need your money, I get it, but do it classy, Lep-age
said.
The FA picketers were also present outside the Health
Professions Build-ing, Anspach courtyard, Charles V. Park Library
and the Bovee University Cen-ter.
Gretta McNeal, of Novi, brought her daughter to the event and
said she was glad her daughter could see people practicing their
first amendment rights.
To me, thats just part of the college life, McNeal said. You
will always have a voice that wants the qual-ity of life
improved.
Cavataio said he hopes prospective students can look past the
days events and still recognize the ben-efits of attending CMU.
I wish they could all fall in love with this campus as I did,
without such a dis-traction, he said.

a pittance, Jones said. It would discourage GLBT peo-ple from
taking jobs in this state. It would discourage GLBT people from
remain-ing in Michigan. Why stay in a place where people treat you
with such disrespect?
He said it represents yet another mean-spirited at-tempt to
separate groups of Michigan citizens for special
mistreatment because a pol-itician sees them as objects to be
used to gain votes.
The numbers of public employees that have taken advantage of
these benefits are very small, Jones said. He said the cost of the
benefits is so great because they are tax-able; therefore few LGBT
em-ployees make use of them.
Benefits for domestic part-nerships were supposed to begin this
October after a vote by the Civil Service Commission earlier this
year.
Republicans failed to over-
turn the decision because they were not able to get the
two-thirds majority vote needed in the House.
This is a major disincen-tive, Jones said. Only those who have
partners and fam-ily members who themselves have no health
insurance would make use of these benefits. They would bear the
brunt of losing health in-surance, which could mean losing access
to medical care.

The weeks events will in-clude presentations by Dale and Dar
Emme, founders of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program,
hypno-tist Jim Hoke and a symbolic balloon launch and candle-light
vigil outside the Charles V. Park Library.
Dale and Dar Emme will present from 6 to 8 p.m. today at French
Auditorium in the Education and Human Ser-vices Building.
Opalewski has been a long-time advocate of suicide pre-vention
and even wrote a book Answering the Cry for
Help on the subject.This is such an issue not
only on our campus, but for all college students, Opal-ewski
said. We just want our students to know theres help for them if
theyre in a crisis.
Opalewski said that the week would touch on depres-sion and
anxiety as well as suicide, and hopes that talk-ing about the
issues will help promote suicide prevention on campus.
The most preventable measure is to talk about it, Opalewski
said. We want to promote awareness so that students can help their
class-mates who may be in a crisis.
In the press release First Year Experience Program Di-rector
Jason Bentley said he
is pleased with Opalewskis plans for the weeklong pro-gram.
The FYE Advocate Award was initiated to recognize and encourage
engaged learning experiences during the first college year, Bentley
said. Dave Opalewskis work on suicide prevention is an excel-lent
example of how funds are helping extend learning expe-riences for
CMU students, he said.
The week will conclude with a presentation by for-mer Yellow
Ribbon coordina-tor for the state of Michigan, Barb Smith, on how
to start a chapter of the organization at CMU.

camps in the crowd. Its fun for them to recognize their little

Throughout the event, Art Reach of Mid Michigan, 111 E. Broadway
St., had arts and craft activities for the public, along with
voting for their favorite mask. They collabo-
rated with Heartstrings & Fun Things, 209 W. Broadway St.,
and The Mole Hole, 120 S. Main St., for the contest.
The store owners cut the giant mask templates and had artists
and residents decorate them to enter in the contest, said Kari
Chrenka, education program coordinator for Art Reach. The contest
included three categories with a hun-dred dollar prize each.
After coming downtown to the pharmacy, Harrison resident Julie
Reinke stayed
to enjoy the festivities with her grandchildren and niece,
Trenton Reinke, 11, Anna Bar-ber, 10, and 6-year-old Mi-chael
Mier.
Chrenka said there was a lot going on in a little space, and it
was a great way for local art-ists to use their creativity in the
community.
We liked the candy and the music, Barber said. It was cool when
the band played, I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Head coach Dan Enos walked out of his postgame press conference
on Saturday and asked his safety if he was alright.
Junior Jahleel Addae looked up from finishing a radio interview
and told his coach he was fine after racking up a career-high 18
tackles. Enos said, Youll be sore tomor-row, and gave the defensive
leader an emotional hug.
Addae intercepted a Northern Illinois hail mary on the final
play of the game as Central Michigan won 48-41 at Kelly/Shorts
Stadium.
It was Addaes second interception of the game. On the third play
from scrimmage, he picked off NIUs Chandler Harnish, giving the
Chippewas momentum the offense thrived on.
Running back Paris Cotton and quarterback Ryan Radcliff went
wild all afternoon against the Huskies.
Cotton accounted for three touchdowns, which was his first
extended playing time this year.
It felt great, Cotton said. Ive been waiting for that.

Football comes out on top in offensive battle
I just dont know what to think about the Central Michigan
football team.
Its as if it is playing tricks with my mind.
My perception of the team dropped drastically after
three-straight losses, two of which were embarrassments against
in-state rivals.
I didnt think the Chippewas had a shot in hell of winning on
Saturday against NIU. The Hus-kies competed against Kansas, a Big
12 opponent. CMU competed for a half against Kentucky, a
Southeastern Conference team, but thats about it.
NIUs senior-laden offense didnt only concern me on paper, but it
scared head coach Dan Enos.
When I watched the film of their offense this week, I was
nervous, he said in his postgame press conference. They are very,
very talented on offense.
The NIU offense put up 41 points against the Chippewas,
something the CMU defense is used to seeing, allowing 40+ points
for the third-straight week. However, just when the program looks
to be down, quarterback Ryan Radcliff, a player surround-ed with
criticism, played big.
He, along with Paris Cotton and Jahleel Addae, put the pro-gram
on their backs.
I just dont know what to think about the CMU football team, but
Saturday taught me some-thing that I can stick with until proven
wrong: This program has the athletes to compete.
The talent is there. Enos talked highly of multiple incoming
freshmen prior to the season, but Ive only noticed spurts of his
meaning.
If the effort from these athletes against NIU is what it has to
offer, then Im putting stock into what Enos preaches, both now and
later. The defense needs work, but Im sold on the offense.
Earlier, I mentioned that Rad-cliff, Cotton and Addae put the
program on their backs.
Freshman running back An-thony Garland literally carried an NIU
defender on his back, after bowling over three other defenders en
route to a 31-yard gain, setting up a David Harman 30-yard field
goal.
CMU went out and beat the Huskies, a team that finished 8-0 in
the MAC last season.
I just dont know what to think about this team, but I know what
I see, and thats potential.
CMU fans, alumni and whoever else follows the team, has given
criticism. This team isnt what the 2009 team was, but lets look

Central Michigan head soccer coach Neil Stafford was upset with
his teams inability to convert in the offensive third of the field
after Fri-days tie against Buffalo.
After Sundays 3-0 victory against Kent State, those concerns can
be put to rest.
The Chippewas scored two goals in the first half en route to a
dominating victory in which they overwhelmed a Kent State team that
came into Sun-days game with an 8-1-3 record.
Im really excited with the re-sponse of the players today,
Staf-ford said. Fridays game was bitter to swallow. We were a bit
down to not get three points out of a game like that in which we
badly outshot our opponent, but today was fantastic.
CMU (8-1-3 Overall, 2-0-2 Mid-American Conference) looked like a
team ready to redeem itself from a disappointing result right from
the
opening kick, recording three shots on the KSU goal.
CMUs pressure paid off in the 22nd minute when sophomore
Jen-nifer Gassman opened the scoring for the Chippewas, scoring her
sec-ond goal of the season.
Junior Bailey Brandon chipped a long ball over the defense,
which left Gassman one-on-one with Kent State goalkeeper Kelly
Sherwood. Gassman took one touch and shot the ball. It rolled into
the empty net just before the KSU defender could clear it.
CMU did not let up. The team con-tinued to pressure the Golden
Flash-es defense.
I was really impressed with the way we kept the pressure on Kent
State, who I think is a very good team. Stafford said.
In the final minute of the first half, that pressure yielded
another goal.
Sophomore Samantha Brenz car-ried the ball along the baseline
and centered it to sliding sophomore de-
fender Estee Outcalt, who scored her second goal of the season,
giving the Chippewas huge momentum head-ing into halftime.
You could see Kent States body language change after that goal,
Stafford said. That was the dagger and thats what we want to do.
Its a momentum shifter when you can hit teas at critical moments
like that.
Senior midfielder Claire Horton sent a corner kick into the box
in the 58th minute and the ball was head-ed by sophomore Kaely
Schlosser right to junior Ashley Mejilla, who scored her third goal
of the season to extend the Chippewa lead.
They outshot the Golden Flash-es 17 to five and held the
