Life in brief university Pink elevator installed in Biosciences Building Flashes of pink will take riders up and down the floors of Central Michigan University’s $95 million Biosciences Building, as a pink elevator was installed in partnership with the Susan. G. Komen Foundation. Part of the foundation’s Ride the Pink Elevator fundraising campaign, CMU’s pink elevator will be the second in Michigan. The campaign will begin at 8 a.m. on April 3, raising funds for breast cancer research. The elevator was installed in the south side exterior of the building on March 2, and will remain in place through early July. Donations will be collected from April 2 to July 2. Installed by Clark Construction Co, the lead builder of the Biosciences Building, the elevator was leased by trade contractor Spence Brothers from Metro Elevator Co. Inc. Metro Elevator specializes in rack and pinion construction, hoist sales and leasing. The company paints select elevators in the signature Komen pink to raise awareness of breast cancer. President of Metro Elevator Charlie Ernstes II, said interest in the Ride the Pink Elevator campaign is growing, and now has four additional builders and general contractors who have committed to this fundraising opportunity. “I am thankful, excited and amazed that the Ride the Pink Elevator campaign has taken off on the level it has,” Ernstes said. “It has been an invigorating awakening, beginning with thoughts of doing a one-time fundraiser here in Indianapolis to now getting calls from all over the United States asking for our pink elevators.” - Adrian Hedden News Editor

Monday’s SGA Presidential Press conference showcased the key concerns of Mahone and running mate Maggie Blackmer. Their talking points included getting bigger classroom desks for plus-size students and making reserving rooms around campus easier for registered student orga-

nizations and SGA sponsored events. The desk issue, Blackmer said, addresses a need to accommodate students of “all shapes and sizes.” “We believe it Chuck Mahone is embarrassing, and plain absurd, that a student who may be bigger is unable to sit in those types of (small) desks

and have to, unfortunately, sit in a handicapped seat in the classroom,” Blackmer said. “(The desks) need to be changed so that every single Chippewa can feel comfortable coming to class.” Along with that, Mahone pointed out that the size of the desktops compared to all that is placed on them in an average class period — books, notepads, laptops, and more w voting | 5a

City officials support Prop 1 after Cotter presentation By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Mount Pleasant’s city commission passed a resolution of support for a May 5 ballot proposal that may help repair Michigan’s crumbling roads. Commissioners unanimously approved the resolution after a presentation from House Speaker Kevin Cotter during Monday’s City Commission meeting. The Mount Pleasant Republican presented each facet of Proposal 1, also known as “Proposal 1 for Safer Roads.” If passed, the initiative will raise the state’s sales tax from 6 to 7 percent. It also will increase driver registration fees and eliminate the tax on gasoline and diesel fuels. The proposal, Cotter said, is expected to raise $2.1 billion in new revenue for the state in fiscal year 2015-16, with $367.8 million of that revenue going to road improvements. Out of that portion, Isabella County would receive $1.6 million per year for road improvements. That amount would be increased to $2.66 million after two years. A previous plan passed in 1997 taxed gas at 19 cents for road repairs, but was not protected against inflation, Cotter said. Over the years, the lack of funds have cre-

Proposal would increase sales tax to repair Michigan roads By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Proposal 1 for Safer Roads, which appears on the May 5 election ballot, will raise the state’s sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. The sales tax increase, and increases on vehicle registration fees, will raise $2.1 billion by the end of fiscal year 2015-16. About $367.8 million will fund state and local road repairs. While many legislators and voters agree on the need to fix Michigan roads, Proposal 1 has 10 other pieces of legislation attached to it. Some of the money allocated to road repairs will be used to pay off existing repair debt.

Nuts and bolts of Prop 1

The largest impact of Proposal 1 is an increase in the state’s sales tax. This is being done because sales tax is one of the only sustainable revenue sources available, said Mount Pleasant City Commissioner Jon Joslin. Sales tax is also a guaranteed funding source because it effects everyone in the state, including visiting tourists. Proposal 1 also eliminates the state’s gasoline and diesel fuel use tax. Gas and diesel tax-

When we’re looking at the sheer size of this problem, it will require all of us voting on this outside of our definition of perfect.” City commissioners sent a resolution to Lansing in December asking legislators not to support any new road funding mechanism that took away money from public school districts. Proposal 1 will increase revenues to the School Aid Fund by more than $200 million per year over the next three years. The SAF helps fund public school districts, special education community colleges, vocational schools and other education training programs. An additional $89.9 million would be used for local government revenue sharing in the first year. Some commissioners remained skeptical that this was the best solution to address the state’s roads. “I’m really conflicted on this proposal,” said Commissioner Matthew Sous. “A lot of the things it accomplishes could have been accomplished without a statewide ballot vote. “The things it does do, like repairing the roads and increasing tax credits for low income families, should have never been cut in the first place.” Sous said he would still

House Speaker Kevin Cotter told Mount Pleasant City Commissioners the tax was not protected against inflation and fluctuating gas prices. Money from the tax increases will bolster the School Aid Fund, which supports public school districts, employee retirement funds, community colleges and vocational schools. Increases to the SAF was a sticking point for Democratic legislators.

Prop 1’s fiscal impact

Legislators and a non-partisan analysis group have projected Proposal 1’s fiscal impact over the next three years. All of the tax increases will go into effect on Oct. 1, the beginning of the state’s fiscal year. Total revenue is expected to reach $2.1 billion in 2015-16, but is expected to decline to $1.8 billion in 2016-17. Revenues will increase to $1.9 billion in 2017-18. Providing $367.8 million for road repairs in 2016, that amount increases to $736.6 in the second year. In 2017-18, $1.3 billion will fund road work. Other state funds will see increases, including the Recreation Improvement Account, the Comprehen-

sive Transportation Fund, the School Aid Fund and the state’s general fund. Schools and programs funded by the SAF will receive $292.4 million in 2016, but would decrease to $220 million in following years. A general fund increase of $463.1 million is set for 2016 and will decrease to about $171 million in following years.

Controversy and opponents

Opponents of Proposal 1

have expressed concern about the proposal because of its attached tax increases. These increases come in the form of attached legislation that will only go into effect if Proposal 1 passes. There are 10 pieces of legislation attached. Cotter said this was done to garner the type of bipartisan support to get Prop 1 on the ballot. Both houses need a 2/3 vote.Similar measures for tax increases to fund road repairs were

support Proposal 1 even with its flaws. “I think about if it’s not passed, then what would they come up with next?” he said. “That’s a terrible reason to vote for something. The question mark is just too scary.” Commissioner Tony Kulick shared some of Sous’ reservations. “The biggest problem is that the legislature drank the Kool-Aid, promised to never raise taxes and pushed it back on the citizens,” Kulick said. “They shirked their responsibilities by doing this.” Mayor of Mount Pleasant Jim Holton said he hated the proposal at first, but was moved to support the measure when he realized the alternatives were grim. “The alternative is there is no alternative, and the ones that are out there are all bad,” he said. “I was going to take a neutral position, but even if I was not on city commission or (the) mayor, I would support this.”

presented before state legislators in 2012 but failed to receive support. Proposal 1 is considered at this time the only plausible way to get road funding passed. Because the sales tax increase needs to go before the voters, Cotter said this couldn’t be passed as piece of legislation. The last sales tax increase was passed in 1994. It increased the sales tax from 4 to 6 percent.

Peer mentoring program helps student veterans acclimate to college life By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

After serving as a combat veteran and making the transition to civilian life, Roseville junior Nick Badgero said he wished he had a resource in other student veterans. Starting in 2013, the Peer Advisers for Veteran Education program has worked to fill that need, connecting incoming student veterans or people receiving Veteran Affair benefits with other veterans who are upperclassmen. “The biggest thing is you don’t want vets to isolate themselves immediately,” said Badgero, who is one of the managers of the program in addition to being a peer adviser. “I did that when I came here. I had a six-month stint where I didn’t really talk to anyone and that’s not really healthy or good, but it happens.” Anyone in the military or using VA benefits is eligible for PAVE. The program is meant to help veterans make a healthy transition out of the military, and provide them with resources to navigate college life. The PAVE office is located in

the Veterans’ Resource Center in Warriner Hall. “There is stuff about the military that I would have never known about it if I didn’t have her to talk to,” said Clio sophomore Caitlin Sather. “I like it because I can talk to Ebony about different options for contracting.” Sather is new to the program and the military, and has five years left in her contract with the National Guard. Her peer adviser, Pontiac senior Ebony Thompson, has been enlisted for three and a half years and also is contracted with ROTC, making her a Simultaneous Member cadet. She hopes to commission this May after graduation, she said. A short questionnaire for PAVE is available at the Veterans’ Resource center for anyone interested in joining and receiving VA benefits. The single page of questions is filled out by peer advisers and students interested in utilizing the program in order to make compatible pairs in regards to things like military background, college majors and common interests. “The best part about the pro-

gram is that it just welcomes vets and connects them to campus,” said Indiana senior Isaac Smith, who is another manager of PAVE. “The simple act of welcoming someone to your institution makes them a lot more successful.” Badgero said PAVE is different from other organizations meant to support veterans, such as Student Veterans of America, because of its peer-to-peer nature. He is a member of both and said each organization has their place, but prefers PAVE because of its personal approach to supporting veterans. “A veteran needs more than just getting thrown into a group of people,” Badgero said. “If one specific person makes an effort to get to know you, it’s a little better.” PAVE is a service offered to veterans in 13 schools in the country. CMU is part of the pilot program, which means members of PAVE have to track interactions with their mentee or peer adviser on an online log. The information is anonymous and is disseminated to all of the other schools in order to monitor the progress of the pro-

gram, Smith said. Thompson and Sather both agreed PAVE could be useful to a veteran’s life coming to college, who just got back from serving in combat or overseas. That is not the experience that they’ve had in the military or in PAVE, but they still utilize and benefit from being a part of the program, they said. They described it as sort of an extension of the Veterans’ Resource Center. “It’s nice to have that person that knows that military side that a lot of people don’t know,” Sather said. “It’s nice talking to my peer adviser, and I can also talk to her about everything else at college. You can’t really talk to the people in the Veterans’ Resource Office like that. They’re too professional.” The biggest thing Smith said he wanted to see for the PAVE in the future is to become more institutionalized, and more part of the Veterans’ Resource Center to get better funding. “As the program grows and expands, I can imagine it will require more funding,” Smith said. “We have three times the amount of people already. It’s working, and people are utilizing it.”

Michigan State Police first agency to use unmanned aircraft By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

The Michigan State Police department became the first law enforcement agency in the United States to be given permission to use unmanned aircrafts by the Federal Aviation Administration. MSP has purchased one drone in 2013, an Aeryon SkyRanger, before being given permission to operate. The drone cost $160,000 and was purchased with a federal grant from the Department of Homeland Security. Chosen for its high safety and reliability rating, the six pound Aeryon SkyRanger has a top speed of 31 miles per hour, a 50 minute flight time and can withstand winds of up to 40 mph. The device can take still photos, record high definition video and live stream day video or infrared recording. MSP Public Affairs Officer Tiffany Brown said the agency’s intentions for the drone are limited to disaster response, search and rescue missions, or crime scene and traffic accident investigations. “We are using it to support public safety efforts,” Brown said. “It can be used throughout the state to support other agencies as well.” The MSP has been working

closely with the FAA to ensure all training requirements and safeguard are met. The have also been working to decide on policies and procedures for use of the drones, as this is new territory for local law enforcement agencies. One policy mandates the drone can only be operated by a two-person crew, to assure there will always be a pilot and a safety observer. Additionally, the pilot must be certified by the FAA and receive training from the drone’s manufacturer. The device may not exceed an altitude of 400 feet or leave the officer’s sight. As a backup safeguard, the drone is programmed to fly itself back to the station in the event of a malfunction or low battery. James Hill, a professor of political science at Central Michigan University, said regulators should consider not only safety issues but ethical implications as well. “I do not want to sound like a Luddite about this new technology,” Hill said. “Like any new technology, the issue of legal and ethical use is something should be considered at the outset of its use rather than wait for it to unravel without oversight.” Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union worry police drone programs lead down a slippery slope toward unwelcome surveillance tac-

tics. The ACLU has called for strict limits where drones can be deployed, and it is opposed to equipping drones with lethal or non-lethal weapons. In a report titled Protecting Privacy From Aerial Surveillance, the organization outlines their concerns. “Rules must be put in place to ensure that we can enjoy the benefits of this new technology without bringing us closer to a “surveillance society” in which our every move is monitored, tracked, recorded and scrutinized by the government,” the report states. The drone was first used March

4, when police flew the SkyRanger over a fire near Jenison. Investigators from the local fire department used photos and videos collected to determine the origin and cause of the fire. This exercise demonstrated any law enforcement agency within the state can call upon the MSP Aviation Unit for assistance. Brown said the MSP is using the SkyRanger as a beta test, with an eye on the future potential of this technology. “We’re just testing the technology and its capability to see where it can be used.”

Michigan weather and natural wear are affecting Michigan roads, leaving them damaged and full of potholes.

A minor investment to fund

major improvements Michigan’s Proposal 1 for Safer Roads does more good than harm Mount Pleasant city commissioners unanimously passed a resolution Monday supporting Proposal 1, showing their commitment to fixing state and local roads. House Speaker Kevin Cotter presented the proposal, also known as Proposal 1 for Safer Roads, to commissioners during their Monday meeting. It will appear on the May 5 ballot and will raise funds by increasing Michigan sales tax from 6 to 7 percent to fund road repairs and pay off existing road repair debt. As the election draws near, we urge students to vote and echo the support for Proposal 1 shown by the commissioners. Michigan roads are our roads. They have been in dire need of repair for years. Increasing the state sales tax — rather than the income or creating a new tax — ensures that the largest portion of the Michigan demographic will end up contributing. Everyone from young teens to senior citizens will be affected, along with tourists. Since more people will have to contribute, the tax increase can remain small. Some might argue that targeting sales tax means

targeting the poor along with the rich. In reality, a 1 percent tax increase will cause minimal disruption to the population. The proposal’s utilization of state sales tax ensures most people — residents and visitors — will contribute to the solution while enduring minor damage to their wallets. The proposal also eliminates the sales/use tax on gasoline and diesel fuels and replace it with a new one, raising the fuel tax from 19 cents to 41.7 cents. The current tax has proved inadequate due to rising inflation over the last decade, according to Cotter. The House Fiscal Agency estimates the proposal will raise $2.1 billion in its first fiscal year, with $367 million of that total going to fix roads. Cotter stated that Mount Pleasant would receive $1.6 million of that total, and about $2.7 million after two years. According to Isabella County Road Commission Supervisor Tony Casali, Isabella County would receive $1.3 million next year if the proposal is successful. The county already receives about $5 million for road repairs each year. Almost $300 million of the funds raised by Pro-

posal 1 will be allocated to the Student Aid Fund, which serves public school districts, vocational schools and other educational programs. Casali said 145 of the county’s 458 miles of road are in “poor” condition. “Poor” really means the roads need to be completely repaved at the cost about $210,000 per mile. In just Isabella County, there are 74 miles in need of crack sealing and 70 miles in need of chip sealing, said Casali. Only 84 miles in the county are rated in “great” shape. As college students, we have driven on Michigan roads for at least 4-5 years. We will continue to live with them if we choose to stay in the state after graduation. Lawmakers could have found a way to fix Michigan roads without changing the state sales tax or involving voters. They have left the decision up to us, so let’s exercise our power as voters and do our part to take care of our own infrastructure. Proposal 1 is our best choice to keep our roads drivable.

Parking not ‘ample’ for CMU freshmen TO THE EDITOR: I am a freshman living in Emmons Hall. So far, my Central Michigan University experience has been fantastic. It’s a great school, has nice facilities, has countless registered student organizations and events for students every week. I get a great feeling CMU has an objective to make incoming freshmen feel welcome and wanted on campus. However, this objective is not accurately represented when it comes to parking on campus.

In the aspect of parking, as a freshman I feel ostracized and mistreated. We are only allowed to park our cars in the big freshman lot behind the football stadium. It’s understandable; we are freshmen and are not as privileged as those who have earned credits and have been around longer. The situation is worse than just having to park far away from our residential colleges. The university claims there is “ample” parking on campus. If parking is “ample,” why are fresh-

It is a huge hassle walking out to the lot to move our cars and once we do move them, it becomes an inconvenience for all students with cars on campus.

Often times the only parking lots that have room are for staff/faculty only. These staff/

The meaning our society gives to the word “man” prescribes a set of rules telling a large group of diverse and unique individuals how to live. The meanings we give to masculinity perpetuate outdated, and often ill-fitting ideals. What does it actually mean to be a man? I’m not sure it should mean anything. To society, being a man starts with what is between your legs, and ends with a lot more. Why do we hold on to the ideal of “being a man?” It’s subjective. It’s determined by a specific culture or society. It takes away the authentic individual. In his 2009 study, “‘Putting My Man Face On’: A Grounded Theory of College Men’s Gender Identity Development,” Keith E. Edwards found that participants described societal expectations of masculinity as being “competitive, in control of emotions, aggressive, responsible, the breadwinner, authoritative, rational, strong, successful, tough and breaking the rules.” They described it as putting on a performance, with one going so far to say it was like “putting my man face on.” Edwards also writes that “when participants felt insecure as men, they often responded by trying to overcompensate and prove their manhood to others and to themselves.” This often leads to excess partying or rowdiness, and mistreatment of women. This is a problem. Regardless of sex, no human being should have to put on a mask to fit a mold that isn’t quite right. When you attempt to uphold a facade of masculinity, for society’s sake, it drives you further from your truest self. Not subscribing to society’s ideals of manhood does not make you less of a man, nor is it indicative of femininity. It doesn’t make you more of a man, either. It makes you more you. Choose for yourself what masculinity looks like. For my own life, I don’t put much stock in that word anymore. It is impossible to remove all social conditioning and tendencies from my life, but I give my existence as a human being more significance by not making masculinity a high priority. I am a human being on a quest for authenticity in my life. I write these words as an invitation to join me, and to drop the facade of masculinity. Let’s breed understanding and acceptance. Let’s take off our collective “man face.” Lot 53 are often full. However, the staff only-lot, Lot 50, always has a huge amount of parking spots available. The CMU staff does not need such a large lot; I have never seen it even half full. Parking is not ample for freshmen, particularly on game days. Something needs to be done to help the situation. One simple solution I have for East Campus is to use Lot 50 more efficiently by allowing students to park in the significant portion not being used. MITCH BAILHE Freshman Lansing

Academics and inexperience reasons for drop in SGA Senators, leaders say By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

In recess for the remainder of this year’s legislative session, Student Government Association senators cited inexperience and academic responsibilities as cause for the abrupt end to their work. As of now the Senate is one member short of its quorum to be able to propose and pass legislation. Senate Leader Chelsea Green said many students who left SGA have done so due to academic reasons. “(SGA) had a lot of young senators join this semester. I think a lot of the time they were unaware of all of the responsibilities that came along with being a senator,” Green said. “Because of that, they had to be a student first and leave being a senator.” For a student to be a member of SGA they must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA. It is not rare for SGA to lose senators throughout the semester because of issues with school and work, Green said. Sometimes, a senator underestimates the responsibilities of the job. “The load can become too hard,” she said. Senator duties include holding office hours in the basement of the Bovee University Center, attending weekly SGA meetings and creating a project to benefit campus in some way. After gaining experience, Green believes senators who run for office in the

Park Library open 24 hours during finals week. “Hopefully this will be the first step toward a 24-hour library,” Blackmer said. “This is something that the dean of the library is very interested in and something we will be implementing (around) midterms of next semester.” Troy freshman Michaela Smith said it was obvious

spring are more successful than students who run during the winter. “Those running in the spring semester have a better grasp on what it means to be a senator,” Green said. “Filling out the packets, (going) through interviews and getting people to vote for them, shows a higher

level of commitment than those running in the winter elections.” SGA President Chuck Mahone said diversity in the Senate also must be considered. “It’s a person-by-person basis,” Mahone said. “We get senators from all over the spectrum. Last year we had

three or four non-traditional students — 40 or 50 year old veterans — who were senators and they wanted to be involved.” Vice President Mariah Urueta said because of this, all legislation that will be going through the House in the remaining meetings will have already been approved

Mahone and Blackmer truly cared about CMU and would put forth the effort necessary to lead SGA in the coming year. “I think (Mahone and Blackmer) really look at what students say and (Mahone) really tries to be the voice of the students,” Smith said. “All of the projects

(Mahone) said he would complete, he has.” The press conference closed with individual statements from Mahone and Blackmer, thanking those in SGA for their service and urging students to contact them if they ever had any ideas for improving things around campus.

“The beauty about everything we have said tonight is that it comes from the student body,” Mahone said. “These (platform ideas) aren’t just things we thought up. If there’s something we haven’t heard about but you (students) think we should, let us know.”

How to vote Voting for the 2015 SGA Elections will begin on Monday March 30. Students can vote online at vote.cmich.edu. The website will be live until April 3. Vice Presidential candidate Maggie Blackmer said the process is easy. “You’ll have to sign in (to the website) with your Global ID and password,” Blackmer said. “(The ballot will have) a picture of myself and Chuck, a little bit about us and our platform, and then it will say either vote for us or vote no confidence, which is an option.” Blackmer said that the same structure will apply when for treasurer. “The elections committee (may) also be tabling with computers for people to vote,” Blackmer said. “But the only way for students to vote is on vote.cmich.edu.” The winners of the election will be announced at a press conference, 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 6 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda.

Writing intensive courses required before 56 credit hours completed By Nathan Clark Staff Reporter

Incoming Central Michigan University students will need to complete two writing intensive courses before reaching 56 credit hours, or face having their accounts frozen, starting fall 2016. With 70 percent approval, the Academic Senate voted March 24 to change the requirement from students having to complete four writing intensive courses by graduation to having to complete two courses within their first 56 college credits. According to the general education committee’s Feb. 19 meeting minutes, completing two writing intensive courses earlier in the student’s academic career should assist

them in being more successful in their higher level courses. “I looked at 200 freshmen in the fall and found 40 percent had taken no writing intensive course,” said Registrar Karen Hutslar. “We would need 7,341 seats to meet the demand. We currently have around 5,000.” Students who do not meet the requirement by the time they complete 56 credit hours will have their accounts flagged by the registrar and will be unable to register for any additional classes until they sign up for a writing intensive course to meet the requirement. Several senators voiced concern about the new change, asking how they could approve such a change when the university may not be able

Read more AT CM-LIFE.COM to meet the demand. “If we pass this now, when does it kick in?” said Senator Alan Rudy. “Incoming students will likely only have four semesters to get this done.” The original implementation date for the requirement was set for fall of 2015, but an amendment was passed by 69 percent of the senate to push the date back to 2016, giving the colleges time to structure enough classes to meet the incoming demand. Current students will be unaffected by the change as they fall under previous general education requirement obligations.

Competitors complete final preparations for New Venture Competition Friday By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

After almost two semesters of preparation, the New Venture Competition competitors are making last minute adjustments to their businesses in hopes of winning the $30,000 prize Friday. The event registration begins at 8 a.m. and the first round of the competition begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Education and Human Services Building. More than 70 students from 27 teams are expected to compete. While a majority of the competitors are students from

the College of Business, a little less than half are majors from other colleges. Mount Pleasant junior Sam Pina and her teammate and brother, senior Joe, of the Revolve Replication team, will be spending the remaining days until the competition going over presentation and making sure all loose ends are tied up by calling different organizations to receive last minute feedback. “We are both pretty nervous. We are both excited to do it, we are just nervous to bring the idea to new people,” Pina said. “We’ve done it enough to

know it’s a good idea, but bringing it to new people who don’t know anything is a little nerve wracking.” More than $75,000 will be awarded to the winning teams. The first place team will be awarded $30,000 in seed money while additional prizes ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 will be awarded for titles like most impact on Michigan, best technology and best social venture. “Even if students don’t end up starting a business, if they use it during an interview for other jobs, it’s the experience they get,” said Associate Director of the New Venture

Neuroscience program director receives distinguished professor award By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University neuroscience program Director Gary Dunbar will be presented with the Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year Award April 10. Dunbar is one of three to have received the 2015 award from the 15 State Universities of Michigan Presidents’ Council. “It was an honor because there are so many great teachers at CMU,” Dunbar said. “I’ve been around a long time and I’ve worked very hard, but there are so many equally-deserving professors here.” This award, which will be presented in the Lansing Convention Center, recognizes educators who have demonstrated passion for student learning, interactions with undergraduates and experimental learning. “I received two degrees (from CMU) and I’ve spent my entire career here, so it’s a real thrill for me to represent CMU,” Dunbar said.

“I’ve been around a long time and I’ve worked very hard, but there are so many equally-deserving professors here.” Gary Dunbar, CMU neuroscience director “It couldn’t have happened without great colleagues and great students. The joy of my life is having so many wonderful students to work with. That makes this profession very special.” Dunbar first came back to teach in 1987 as an assistant professor of psychology, and has since built the neuroscience program into a nationally-recognzied force in the field. CMU’s program won Undergraduate Neuroscience Program of the Year in 2013. “Dunbar has been interested in undergraduate learning since the beginning,” said neuroscience faculty Yannick Marchalant. “He chose the right path there. He helped provide

(students) with an experience that can help determine the rest of their lives.” Graduate student Ryan Welchko, who has given dozens of presentations in his time at CMU as a student, considers Dunbar to be a mentor. “He sees potential and then he just supports it, no matter what,” Welchko said. “He builds this system where the undergraduate students are mentored by senior graduate students and graduate students are mentored by program instructors. This style of program had piqued interested of the Society for Neuroscience. We were number one in 2013 based upon his structuring of the program.”

Competition Robby Roberts. “It’s not always about winning, but the networking. The whole process from August to competition day causes them to learn so much about different markets and their products.” The event has increased in size since starting five years ago, according to Entrepreneur-in-Residence of the competition Bruce Marble. Alumni, businesses, other universities, investors and state-sponsored resource groups have been invited to the event. “It’s become a very meaningful networking event for professionals in the entrepreneurship system,” Marble said.

SAI now hiring committee chairs If you apply

By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

Student Activities and Involvement is hiring committee chairs for several of the largest campus events, as the events enter planning stages for next year. Committee chair applications for Mainstage, Homecoming, Siblings Weekend, Up All Night and 1892 Productions are being collected. Committee chairs oversee the planning and implementation of campus events. Garden City junior Rachel Quinn, marketing coordinator for Up All Night said being part of an SAI committee is more than just volunteering, but a way to form lifelong connections. “SAI really became my second home over the years I have been here,” Quinn said. “It gave me the confidence to get more involved across campus. Through SAI, I have met a great number of friends and mentors that I will continue to stay in contact with long after graduation.” Quinn began working for SAI as a marketing coordinator in 2013. After attending Siblings Weekend and Program Board events, it became evi-

Middleville freshman Devon Rademacher worked for the Siblings Weekend committee, and said it was great to help students and parents when they needed it. “The whole weekend is just a good way to volunteer and make new friends,” Rademacher said. Gaylord senior Laura Birge did not begin working working under SAI until she was a senior. She took on the positions of Homecoming competition chair and entertainment coor-

dinator for Siblings Weekend. Birge said she wishes she would have became involved in SAI much sooner. “SAI has so many positions available for students to become involved no matter what age or experience level they have,” Birge said. “Once one is involved in SAI so many doors open to other opportunities on campus that one may not even know of.” Birge said working during Homecoming and Siblings Weekend allowed her to improve on her planning skills of large events and how to collaborate in groups. “The best part of all is after months of hard work and planning by the committee, she said. “We get to see the enjoyment that others have at our events,” she said.

reanna Colwell was on her way home from auditioning for the Chippewa Marching Band when her eyes started to well with tears. The Mount Pleasant freshman and biomedical sciences major came to CMU to march in the band. Michigan State University was an option — but they have no clarinets in marching band, her instrument of choice. A member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, Colwell drove home last June trying to think of what she was going to say to her mother when she walked in the door. Colwell said she had been a leader as a drum major at Mount Pleasant High School, but was a nervous wreck entering the audition. She distinctly remembers every error. “I was running late,” Colwell said. “They called me in, I sat down, and it was just quiet. I messed up two or three times. I got to this one point

where I sped up my feet but I didn’t speed up my fingers, so I wasn’t playing in time and I was just so embarrassed, so I apologized.” The woman who auditioned before her didn’t make it. Colwell shook throughout the audition as she feared the same fate. Colwell’s mother, Michelle, is a tribal administrative assistant. She knew her daughter yearned to make the marching band, but not just because she’d be the first woman from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe to make the band. “When she was chosen as section leader (in high school), a parent was trying to say that she bribed her way,” Michelle said. “I wasn’t too thrilled.” Breanna said those auditioning her at CMU knew she was from the Mount Pleasant area, but not that she was part of the Tribe. “You can accomplish something without w ROOTS | 2B

Celebration! Cinema in Mount Pleasant now serving alcohol By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

The first alcoholic beverage at the Mount Pleasant Celebration! Cinema movie theater was sold Friday, March 20. The rest of the weekend had alcohol on the menu which reflected positively in sales, said Operations Manager Greg Howell. The theater, located on 4935 E. Pickard Street has five kinds of beer for $5 a pint and three types of wine for $7. All drinks are sold in a single-serve container. “We’re not a bar atmosphere where someone is going to come in and get wasted at the movie theater,” Howell said. “That’s not the kind of place we want to be.” The theater obtained the license through the Michigan Liquor Control Commission and trained employees in training for intervention procedures. Employees at the theater are trained to check the I.D. of anyone buying alcohol and are prompted to enter a birthday into the computer system to complete the sale. Policy in place lets only one alcoholic beverage be sold per I.D., meaning one person can’t buy multiple drinks unless they come back to the concession stand. “I didn’t know about it before, but I think it’s a great idea (to sell alcohol) since it’s in a college town,” said alumna Tiffany McAllister as she walked

into the theater Monday night. Howell said having alcohol on the menu will increase sales by giving people more options at the concession counter. The operations manager described the reception of the first weekend serving alcohol as “overwhelmingly positive.” By serving beer and wine, the theater is following suit with an entertainment industry where alcohol is served across the country. Other companies in Michigan have also recently started serving alcohol, including Emagine, AMC and MJR theaters. “I was recently downstate, and all of the movie theaters there served beer,” said customer Anna Conklin Conklin said she didn’t think the new addition to the concessions menu was a big deal and said serving alcohol in theaters is becoming the norm. “We got no complaints this weekend about it,” Howell said. “A lot of people were really excited we had it.” Despite the positive outlook from the manager of the theater, criticism was not absent from all customers. “Personally, I don’t think it’s a great idea,” said Big Rapids resident Patty Langell. “Speaking as a grandparent, I don’t think the theater is a place for alcohol. You don’t want kids in here seeing a Disney movie where alcohol is being served. It is not good for the family atmosphere.”

Sarah White | Assistant Photo Editor A cooler behind Celebration! Cinema supervisor Zack Putkovich is stocked with cans of beer and glasses of wine as a part of the cinema’s new policy of serving alcohol to customers March 24 in Mount Pleasant.

Local beer on the menu consists of Trainwreck from Mountain Town Station Brewery Co., Will Power from Traverse City Brewery and Indian Pale Ale from Founders

Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids. “That’s something we wanted to do, was definitely have local stuff,” Howell said. “Especially with Mountain Town right in our backyard.”

Having alcohol at the theater is the first step Celebration is taking towards a more substantial menu— and offering food like french fries, sliders and wings, Howell said.

Contraception’s past discussed at women’s history panel By Lexi Carter Staff Reporter

Alligator dung and honey. Drinking a mixture of mercury and lead. A cloth soaked in chemicals. Those are just some of the methods both men and women used as contraceptives thousands of years ago. In honor of Women’s History Month, the Women and Gender Studies program hosted a panel called “Her Own Devices: A Cultural History of Contraception.” They discussed the history of contraception at 7 p.m. Tuesday, in the Charles V. Park Library’s Baber Room. Brittany Fremion, one of the panelists and a faculty member in the history department, said while early methods of birth control are silly and crude, they are still creative. “Since thousands of years ago, men and women have tried to take control of their procreation,” Fremion said. “They were definitely very creative, but you have to

understand that people back then did not understand how reproduction worked.” While contraceptives have evolved from using raw animal products, to today’s medicallyapproved devices and medications, she said, many of the same sexual concerns exist. “Now that people are using contraceptives more, women still are not thinking as much about protection with sexually transmitted infections and HIV,” Fremion said. “It is absolutely necessary and I hope people stay interested and continue to be interested (in having contraception).” Sara Moslener, philosophy and religion professor, said generally religion and sexuality are opposed, but contraception has a long history of both religious opposition and support. “Roman Catholic hierarchy where the major opponents,” Moslener said. “They created a separation between sexuality and procreation. But the first people to express interest in planned parenthood

were Protestant and Jewish clergymen so they could offer support to couples in marital counseling on the topics of pregnancy and contraceptives.” Panelist and Brutus junior Lexi Achterhoff, a member of Voices for Planned Parenthood, expressed the need for contraceptives in today’s culture. “(Voices for Planned Parenthood) was started as a reaction to Planned Parenthood being shut down. We wanted students involved in helping with resources about contraceptives,” Achterhoff said. “There are a lot more types of contraceptives than people realize exist to prevent pregnancy, both hormonal and non hormonal.” Achterhoff said that out of the 50 states, only 24 require sexual education classes in school, and only 4 states require the information to be medically accurate. “People deserve to know how to have consensual sex safely while knowing their options and what they can do if something happens,” she said.

having to play the native card,” Breanna said. “That’s a big problem we have.” Once she arrived home from her audition, Breanna knew she earned what she deserved. “I just kept quiet,” Breanna said. “I just tried to seem sad. My mom looked up and asked, ‘How’d it go?’ I told her I didn’t make it.” Breanna was trying to play a trick on her mom. It didn’t work—depending on who you ask. “She walked in the door and couldn’t get a smile off her face,” Michelle said. “She was just so excited.” Breanna fits right into the marching band, ac-

cording to Assistant Drum Major and Saline junior Kurt Mai, who said she’s been “phenomenal” in her first year in the band. Mai said her presence has also helped the band further understand the meaning behind the Chippewa name they seek to honor. “It’s exciting that not only do we recognize (that), we have somebody from the Tribe in the band,” Mai said. “We’re proudly able to wear their name.” Being just the second member from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe to make the marching band, Breanna said the larger issue is continuing higher education for Natives. “I switched to public school in first grade,” Breanna said. “Other kids would stay (at Native schools) and they weren’t

as diversified because of it.” In the Colwell family, “education comes first,” Michelle said. While many members of the Tribe support Breanna by coming to football games and offering congratulations, Brenna said it was difficult growing up in an assimilated culture. Breanna has become knowledgeable in both cultures. She participates in fancy dancing, basket weaving, beadwork and mentorship within the Tribe. “My brother and I both used to get picked on a little bit because we had white friends and not native friends,” Breanna said. “Now that we’re older, we’re more involved in the activities going on (within the Tribe) so we don’t feel like outsiders in other generations.”

Baseball unable to overcome early four-run deficit, falls to MSU 8-3 By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Sophomore pitcher Blake Hibbitts made his first start of the season Tuesday afternoon for the Chippewas and struggled. In Hibbitts’ third career start, he went 1.2 innings giving up three runs on four hits and a walk while Central Michigan University lost to Michigan State University 8-3 in East Lansing. The loss dropped CMU to 15-10 on the season. Offensively, CMU struggled falling into a four-run hole early on. CMU finished with five hits. Junior third baseman Joe Houlihan led CMU with three hits while junior right fielder Logan Regnier finished with three runs batted in. When the Chippewas managed scoring chances, they did not come through, and left the bases loaded in the sixth inning. A CMU scoring opportunity was also squandered in the third inning. CMU had runners on first and second with one out, but a MSU double play ended the Chippewa threat. Junior pitcher Adam Aldred relieved Hibbitts in the second inning. Freshman designated hitter Daniel Jipping got the Chippewas on the board in the fourth inning with his team-leading third home run this season, cutting the Spartans’ lead to 3-1. A groundout and a single allowed MSU to score two runs in the fourth inning with two outs, which led to Aldred’s departure. MSU added to its lead in the bottom of the fifth inning with a home run making it a 6-1 ballgame.

March Madness

Preparing ‘the scout’ is key for assistant coaches during the NCAA tournament By Teddy Greenstein Chicago Tribune

Their job is to make the head coach look good. And to leave opposing players in tears. When the brackets are revealed on Selection Sunday, the players celebrate. Parents make travel plans. Head coaches knock out media responsibilities. The assistants in charge of what’s known as “the scout” dig in. “You’re going to be invisible,” said Illinois coach John Groce, who assisted on NCAA tournament teams at Butler, Xavier and Ohio State. “Especially if you’re doing the scout on a one-day turnaround, you’ll be up all night drinking pots of coffee.” In 2008 Steve Masiello was an assistant for Rick Pitino at Louisville. The third-seeded Cardinals drew Boise State — and then the winner of Oklahoma-St. Joseph’s, giving the coaches three teams for which to prepare. The sixth-seeded Sooners had Blake Griffin, the athletic freak averaging 14.9 points as a freshman.

Following Pitino’s instructions to “never leave him in single coverage the whole night,” Masiello helped devise a devilish plan that called for trapping him anywhere near the rim and telling 5-foot10 Andre McGee to “go find Griffin and be a gnat — annoy him.” The strategy worked better than anyone could have imagined. Griffin attempted just six shots in 30 minutes, turning it over three times in Louisville’s 78-48 demolition. “We bothered and disrupted him,” Masiello recalled. Penn State coach Pat Chambers was on Villanova’s staff in 2009. None of the coaches rejoiced when it was revealed that 14th-seeded American would be their first opponent because coach Jeff Jones “ran a million (offensive) sets and had four seniors — a lethal combo,” Chambers said. Looking ahead to a round-of-32 matchup, head coach Jay Wright assigned the UCLA scout to Chambers, a sign of flattery given that the sixth-seeded Bruins were favored to take

down No. 11 VCU. (Some staffs involve all their assistants by breaking up the scout into offense, defense and personnel. The assistants at Duke, Chris Collins recalled, got along so well that they doled out their own assignments.) American led Villanova by 10 at the half, but the Wildcats survived. That put Chambers on the clock — tipoff in less than 48 hours — to prepare Villanova for a UCLA team with future pros Jrue Holiday and Darren Collison. Chambers believed he’d be properly prepared when he could do two things: Answer Wright’s questions “with conviction” and put himself in the mind of the UCLA head coach. “Once I felt I was Ben Howland,” Chambers said, “then I was ready.” Villanova won by 20, losing in the Final Four to eventual champion North Carolina. The NCAA tournament brings an unusual element because it’s the only time when the NCAA permits coaches to scout a future opponent live. CBS cameras

showed the current Duke triumvirate of Jeff Capel, Nate James and Jon Scheyer watching Friday’s St. John’s-San Diego State game from press row. CBS analyst Bill Raftery commented that the assistant who prepares the scout in a loss “takes it on the chin.” Collins, a Duke assistant from 2000-13, said coaches will not only try to get a feel for the size and speed of the players, they’ll sit near the benches to hear which plays the coach is calling. The playcalls are not cloaked in secrecy, as in football. After live scouting, the Duke coaches would retreat to a hotel suite to work through the night while downing snacks and Diet Cokes. Depending on how late the round-of-64 game was played, Collins said he’d be lucky to catch one or two hours of sleep before presenting the scout to the team the next morning. Another interesting element of the tournament: When the brackets are revealed, the coaches with the most friends in the business have an edge.

Courtesy Photo | Mark Cornelison Kentucky head coach John Calipari wants a call from the officials during a 64-51 win against Cincinnati in the third round of the NCAA Tournament March 21, 2015, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.

They’ll scour the teams played by their opponents, hoping to hit up coaches for key tips. “Your really close friends will be more

liberal (with information),” Collins said. “But we respect guys who say: Out of loyalty to our league, we’d rather not do that.”
