SPIRITS CMU, law enforcement struggle to understand new phenomenon of ‘event’ binge drinking Ben Solis Staff Reporter

lcohol abuse is not a new problem, but party culture at Central Michigan University is evolving in a way police and administrators are finding difficult to understand. Excessive consumption is the new norm. Event drinking and binging have replaced the house party. In October, event drinking proved fatal for an 18-year-old man who wasn’t enrolled here. According to CMU’s own research, young students view binge drinking and partying as essential to the university experience – ideas formed before they are enrolled at the university. Out of the 2,539 freshmen who took Part I and II of Residence Life’s mandatory AlcoholEdu program in fall 2014, 54 percent said they consume shots and engage in party pre-gaming when drinking alcohol. That number is nearly 7 percent higher than the national average. The survey also asked students about negative consequences they experienced related to drinking. What is alarming for school administrators is that 41 percent reported blacking out. That number is also higher than the national average by 4 percent, and has been on the rise since 2012. These new challenges are making it difficult for police and Residence Life officials to fight an issue they don’t completely understand. “It’s disappointing because we continue to see this pattern of behavior,” said Michelle Veith, associate director of Residence Life. “(Event drinking) is not isolated to CMU. No one knows how to completely combat it. We just throw stuff at a wall and see what sticks.”

The Rise of ‘Event Drinking’ Student Affairs Executive Director Shaun Holtgreive uses a term to classify a growing campus phenomenon – “event drinking.” It is a college life cliche, Holtgreive said, that is perpetuated by messages from peers and the media that tell young people there are no rules or consequences for excessive, or irresponsible, partying.

“Somehow (party holidays) have taken on this mystique,” Holtgreive said. “While I don’t condone what happens at some Welcome Weekends, (I understand) it’s tied to something. You know it was coming.” This year Welcome Weekend parties drew big crowds, including many out-of-town revelers, but Holtgreive said these gatherings don’t compare to the growing emphasis

on holidays like the all-day drinking that happens on St. Patrick’s Day. “About eight or 10 years ago, St. Patrick’s Day was just another day,” he said. “No one back then said ‘Let’s get dressed up and go drinking at 8 a.m.’ When it first started to build that kind of reputation it was a surprise to everyone.” event | 6a

Police documents reveal event drinking a factor in Hartnett’s death By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Michael Hartnett visited Central Michigan University for the third time on Oct. 3. He planned on making lasting memories with his friends during Homecoming Weekend. What followed was a typical Chippewa weekend, but underage drinking played a part in what resulted in tragedy. Using police records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, Central Michigan Life can finally show the events that led to Hartnett’s death. Roughly 300 pages of interviews, surveillance camera footage, phone records and autopsy reports were compiled by CMU police and submitted to the Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney’s office in January. The office announced no charges would be filed Jan. 12. CM Life has spent the months

since conducting a detailed investigation that charts Hartnett’s arrival on campus to when he was found dead in the Fabiano Botanical Garden.

Surveillance cameras document campus events By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

Posted throughout campus, 700 cameras record almost every moment at Central Michigan University. One for every 28 on-campus students. The CMU Police Department will be adding 45 surveillance cameras to the North Campus Residence Halls this fall. CMUPD began strategically placing surveillance cameras throughout the university in 2002, starting with the Student Activity Center. Since then CMU has spent a total of $700,000 on surveillance cameras, with an anticipated expenditure of another $45,000 on the new cameras coming this fall. Cameras are funded differently on a case-by-case basis, but the cost is always covered one of two ways; either the department the cameras are going into will pick up the tab with their budget, or the university provides special funding. CMUPD can access live feeds from any of the university’s cameras via their computers, or at any of the four large monitors located in the CMUPD Central Dispatch room, which run a continuous live display of the feeds from the cameras on a rotating cycle. CMUPD Detective Mike Sienkiewicz said officers do not use the cameras for constant monitoring. “CMUPD does not generally monitor cameras on campus unless there is an incident. Seven hundred cameras would take a lot of people,” Sienkiewicz said. “We do use them more on game days or busy weekends like Welcome Weekend.” Sienkiewicz said the cameras are a tool to help keep the campus community safe and investigate crimes. One instance in which CMUPD was able to utilize surveillance footage to help with a case was in 2014, when police used cameras located in Lot 1 to identify suspects in a robbery that occurred during Welcome Weekend. “They were non-students from Saginaw, and we were able to work with law enforcement in Saginaw to identify and convict the suspects by using the video,” Sienkiewicz said. CMUPD said the placement of any cameras is a carefully calculated decision. New lighting in the lot allowed the cameras to capture a higher quality image of the suspects, but there are areas on campus where things are not as visible. Surveillance camera footage also played a large part in CMUPD’s investigation of 18-year-old Michael Hartnett’s death in October. Police were able to track almost every minute of his time on campus, which allowed them to piece together the events leading to his drowning in the Fabiano Botanical Garden. “We add new cameras based on the risk associated with the area. Keeping students safe is a priority for us,” Sienkiewicz said. “Having cameras in areas such as residence halls is an important piece of the security in the residence halls.” Departments can also request that cameras be placed within their buildings based on their own needs. “If a department expressed a need for cameras, we find a solution to fit their request,” Sienkiewicz said. Once the installation of the new North Residence Halls cameras is complete, all 22 of CMU’s residence halls will have cameras. When asked about the coming additions, North Campus residents were surprised their dorms were not already equipped with surveillance cameras. “It’s kind of alarming that we don’t have any cameras,” said Livonia sophomore Rebecca Folson. “Especially since we are so close to the edge of campus.” Folson said more cameras would make her feel safer. “If you’re not doing anything bad, then who cares about the cameras?” Folson said. “We’re right next to Main Street where a lot of things happen.” Ubly sophomore Rakel Obsentosky was surprised how long ago the university started using cameras. camera | 7a

Students, faculty awarded $420,085 grant to research tuberculosis “Tuberculosis still effects tons of people today in our country and developing countries. Any way I can help with that interests me.”

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Students have been working in the Dow Science Complex to combat problems with global health in the form of mycobacterium tuberculosis research. The group consists of 11 students, nine undergraduates and two graduate students. The research is led by the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry assistant professor, Benjamin Swarts. The recent $420,085 grant from the National Institute of Health will help the research grow and allows more students to participate. The research focuses on developing a new method of synthesizing derivatives of a special sugar called trehalose. Without this sugar, the TB bacteria would not be able to live or harm humans. The research could potentially lead to new insights in diagnosing the disease and ways to treat it. Midland junior Bailey Urbanek has been actively involved in research since summer 2013. “I knew I wanted to do some form of research so I searched the faculty pages for something that interested me. Dr. Swarts’ research really grabbed my attention and I just knew I had to contact him,” Urbanek said. TB is one of the world’s deadliest bacterial pathogens and there are approximately 10 million new

cases of the disease each year. Treating it has become increasingly difficult since it evolves to be more drugresistant. “I’m very passionate about global health,” Urbanek said. “TB still affects tons of people today in our country and developing countries. Any way I can help with that interests me. I feel like I am a part of something greater and that tells me I’m definitely on the right track.” Students have the opportunity to perform research even if it does not correspond with their major. They can decide how active they want to be in the lab; typically undergraduate students will invest six to 15 hours a week. At first, they

learn basic safety techniques and then get situated with their lab position. “I just began my research this semester and Dr. Swarts has me working on organic synthesis where I am forming organic molecules using chemistry laboratory techniques,” said Walker junior Adrian Rylski. “I have learned a decent amount of basic skills in the few months of research and every day I am more and more independent with work in the lab. My main role is synthesizing a few molecules that are similar in structure, which will later be tested on the mycobacterial cell wall.” Swarts’ main focus is synthetic chemistry. He first became involved complet-

She is partnered with Taylor Parks as a part of Central Michigan University’s Adopt-A-Grandparent program, sponsored by the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. “It is really about forming a family bond,” said Elizabeth Morgan, Adopt-A-Grandparent student coordinator. “We call them co-mentors (because) they learn from each other.” Students in the program interact with their senior partners for an hour each week,

I grew a passion for this kind of work.” For students interested in research, the chemistry department is having an informational research night. The event will take place at 2 p.m. Friday in the active learning classroom in Dow Science Complex. Each research group will have their own table set up in the classroom.

traveling to Maplewood or Andahwod Senior Care. Parks said she decided to take part on the program because of her major in recreational therapy and desire to work in senior centers. “I love older people. I think they are fun and I like learning from them,” the Manchester junior said. Students in Adopt-AGrandparent have mandatory training once a month, which includes lectures given by professors with experience or research with older populations. Students who participate in the program are required to commit to one year. During their weekly meetings, Parks and Mayhew typically talk about how they are doing and Mayhew’s family. Sometimes the pair play bingo with other Maplewood residents or go to holiday parties. “We chitchat,” Parks said. “I want to have her teach me how to crochet.” Mayhew crochets hats for newborns at the McClaren

It’s not too pleasant living with old people all the time, it’s not uplifting,” Mayhew said. Parks said she especially enjoys Mayhew’s sense of humor. They have been partners for less than a year, and described their first meeting as a pleasant one. “I was very comfortable with you and you were funny right off the bat,” Parks said to Mayhew. “I like hearing about your family and how you were a professor.” Mayhew said her relationship as an adopted grandparent for Parks is special and incomparable to any other type of relationship. The quote on the wall is Mayhew’s life motto, and she does her best to apply it to all aspects of her life. “I truly believe it and I am living it.”

CREATING THE FUTURE

New Venture Competition benefits business-minded students and state

More than $75,000 in seed money was awarded to Central Michigan University student businesses Friday during the New Venture Competition, continuing a tradition of investment and innovation. In its fifth year, the competition promotes entrepreneurship, collaboration and creativity. It inspires and helps support the next generation of business owners and inventors in Michigan and for that, it should be celebrated. The New Venture Competition was created through a partnership between the College of Business Administration and the Isabella Bank Institute of Entrepreneurship. This sets a good example to competing teams for what business cooperation looks like. If the goal is to foster teamwork and make connections within Michigan communities, the origins of the competition have already accomplished that. It is not uncommon to hear lawmakers and politicians urge young college graduates to stay in Michigan, to help “reinvent” the

state. With New Venture, CMU is producing real examples of people who want to build businesses and services that will actually benefit Michigan residents. Siblings Samantha and Joseph Pina were given the $10,000 Most Impact on Michigan award this year for creating a 3D replication system called Revolve Replication, which will be used by jewelers. Other teams were granted awards for different accomplishments, including the Best Technology, Best Social, Best Lifestyle and Spirit of Entrepreneurship awards. According to the competition’s website, more than 30 businesses are operating as a result of entering the competition. That number alone speaks to the ability of this program to produce realistic, successful innovations that will benefit Michigan’s people and economy. Finally, the nature of the New Venture Competition fosters collaboration and cooperation between students from different departments and educational backgrounds. Having more diverse

opinions and expertise will almost certainly create a more successful team. This also teaches students how to work and get along with other students they might not have much in common with. Students participating in New Venture also receive a dose of real world experience related to their career of choice. In the seven months leading up to the competition, they hone their time management and organization skills and improve their ability to meet deadlines. These, along with problemsolving skills, are all practiced outside the classroom in preparation for New Venture, giving students a real taste of how to function without classmates or professors. Michigan lawmakers have made it clear they want young people to contribute their ideas and innovations to the state. The New Venture Competition both prompts creative and successful businesses and prepares students to be the ones to make them.

The “Strong Start for America’s Children Bill” would ensure children have the high-quality early learning experiences they need to succeed in school and in life.

As Easter Sunday creeps closer, some students may lament over not having an extended weekend to celebrate at home, while others might observe it as any other day. Confession time. I did not give up something special or dear to me for Lent this year. I ate meat on more than one Friday, and I liked it. I have not been to church since the last Holy Day of Obligation. I take the Lord’s name in vain — very creatively — when I’m running late to class or my Internet connection cuts out during my favorite Netflix show. And yet, I am taking this Sunday off of work in order to go home to celebrate the holy holiday. I am a bit of an enigma. As a born-and-raised Catholic, the church has always been a significant part of my life and belief system. As an anthropology major, a part of my education has shown me that organized religion is a social construct created by humans as a way to justify their actions and that which they cannot explain. Some would argue these two aspects of my life are at odds with one another. I argue that they deepen my understanding, and my faith. Understanding that it was men who built churches, wrote rules and established traditions frees me from the guilt of not always attending and not always agreeing with them. Right now, I am three weeks into my 100-level online religion class — little tip: get your UP’s out of the way before your last senior semester. In this class, I am learning the distinct histories of every major world religion. This prompted me to invest a little more time researching Catholicism. For the longest time, I was conflicted about my faith and what kind of follower I was. Was I really a Catholic? It didn’t feel like it. Was I some other religion? None of them felt right. It wasn’t until I began exploring my own religion’s history, until I actively tried to understand it, that I was able to decide what I believed in. Confession time. I say a prayer almost every night before I go to sleep. I believe I was put on this earth for a purpose, and that only the higher power that put me here knows how I am meant to fulfill that purpose. I believe in the power of forgiveness and kindness to others. The biggest thing my religious and cultural education has taught me is that your faith is your own. No one has the right to judge the way you choose to practice it, just as you do not have the right to judge the manifestation of another’s faith. Religion gives us so many things. It teaches values, provides direction and unites communities around the world through a shared ideal. I implore you to educate yourselves when it comes to your own belief system. If something doesn’t seem right, question it. If you don’t understand a certain tradition, research it. If you feel following a religious rule is compromising your morals, take a step back and ask yourself why. No matter what your belief system, values or traditions, celebrate this weekend the way you see fit. Or don’t. At the end of the day, we all need something to believe in, even if it is the idea that there is nothing to believe in at all.

Career Services offers help to students looking for post-grad jobs By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter

Jobs after graduation are a common topic of conversation among college seniors, but many don’t know where to start.

A recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education explained students expect extra help from their universities to help them prepare for their careers. Julia Sherlock, director of Career Services at Central Michigan University, said her office offers various opportunities to prepare students for life after graduation.

“Students are all uniquely qualified to step into a number of jobs like banking or brokerage or appraisal.”

“In 2013-14, 92 percent of graduates were employed six months after graduation,” she said, citing university data. According to the Office of Institutional Research’s First Destination Survey for December 2013 and May 2014, 662 out of 3,521 graduates took the survey regarding employment after graduating. Of this sample, 73 percent were employed part or full-time six months after graduation. Fourteen percent were continuing their education. Sherlock added while all academic areas have the potential to be employable, STEM majors have growing opportunities. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, demand for graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math is expected to grow 17 percent until 2018, compared to a 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM occupations. Shannon O’Connor, a Gaylord junior, said she feels the university has done enough to assist students for post-graduation, but some students may feel uncertain. “It just depends on the per-

son,” she said. “Some people know exactly what they want to do after graduation, so they know they are able to get a job.” Andrew Ward, a Grand Rapids senior, said he feels confident about finding a job. “I feel pretty equipped for after graduation,” he said. “Different resources have been made available to me through the college and I feel pretty confident about my career.” Sherlock said any prospective job seeker should remember that finding a job is a process, but students should not wait until they graduate to begin job hunting. Sherlock said students should be engaging with companies by networking and taking advantage of activities at CMU that will make them valuable to employers, such as job and recruitment fairs. She said a student’s resume is a key element of them landing their first jobs. “Your resume is a personal branding instrument, and it should only include pertinent information,” Sherlock said. According to the Career Services website, resumes should have a

clean, consistent design and relevant information, including skills the applicant would most like to promote, and college-level work experience, internships and volunteering. Career Services also offers insight to building a personal brand using websites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Their website provides tips on successful job interviews, including researching the background of the company, identifying your top qualifications, looking professional and planning ahead. Students should also not turn down internships because of the fear they will not lead to a job. “Eighty-five percent of internships lead to full-time jobs,” she said. “Employers want to recognize talent early. Internships can be very useful.” One way students can find out about jobs is through the Career Services website, Handshake, but there are also many on-campus employer recruiting events. Career Services hosts three career fairs in the fall and two in the spring, as well as state events. They will host a career fair April 15.

College of Business offers only undergraduate real estate program in Michigan By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

With about 20 majors and 20 minors in the real estate program, Novi senior Bret Shrader enjoys how personal his classes are. The only real estate program offering an undergraduate degree in Michigan, Central Michigan University’s program offers classes that foster relationships between students and professors. While low, the number of students involved in the program has been increasing as awareness of the program spreads. The program was also featured in an article in the Detroit Jewish News last year. Students have the opportunity to meet professionals at the annual CMU Real Estate Conference. This year’s conference took place in February and hosted two panels, one residential panel, and a commercial panel. Panels feature different parts of the industry, ranging from construction to brokerage, and how they vary in different parts of the state. “We have been very blessed with the quality of speakers that have been coming, primarily presidents and CEOs. The panels include people who own some of the largest businesses in the state,” said Director of Real Estate Spenser Robinson. “Half of them are real estate focused, but real estate is an industry that has large significant businesses that require all types of interests.” The program has brought professionals like JPMorgan Chase Vice President Aaron Seybert, Rick McGuirk of United Apartments and Creighton Weber of Wells Fargo Bank to speak to students in classes. “I like the fact there are so many different opportunities the program provides us,” said South Lyon senior Heather Dangel. “It’s not every major that you’re going to have your teacher pushing you into these

events to go and meet people, which is what this industry is all about, networking. I’ve already made those connections early when most people wouldn’t get that opportunity.” Students are trained in how the industry works, how to value property and how the real estate operates in terms of language and technology. The program has more job and internship offerings than students to fill them. “Students are all uniquely qualified to step into a number of jobs like banking or brokerage or appraisal,” Robinson said. “When they’re hired into those roles versus those from more traditional things like finance marketing, they can really hit the ground running and have a sense in how the business operates.” The most successful realtors are often those with good people skills and the ability to communicate and develop relationships. Those most suited for a real estate degree are those who like change and hope to get out of the office, Robinson said. “The job market, while competitive, may be growing. With the trend of reshaping cities like Detroit, and Grand Rapids and smaller cities, urbanization is growing,” Robinson said. “More people want to live and work in a downtown core after graduation, so for opportunities in real estate, the changing demands of the generation is creating “huge opportunity, especially in the state.” The opportunities presented by the program have helped Novi senior Bret Shrander feel more prepared to “jump into the real world” after graduation. “As a student who will soon be entering the field, it’s beneficial to see how things fall into place and how we can hope to avoid mistakes when we get out of CMU,” he said. “The education doesn’t stop once we leave CMU, there’s always more to learn. Entering the workforce, I feel very confident coming out of this program.”

gan University. As the reporter covering this from the beginning, I just want to say to the family and friends of Michael Hartnett: I am sorry for your loss. I hope you understand our coverage. I cannot begin to imagine

what losing someone you love in such a public manner feels like. As a facilitator of this publicity, I think it is important to explain why this coverage is important. This series was not conceived to stir up controversy. We are not exploiting pain for hits to our website or meaningless journalism awards. We are not doing this to cast blame or cause those who loved Michael to endure more suffering in the public eye. A young man died on our campus, and it is my personal

responsibility to make sure no one forgets why. I do not believe in senseless death. Tragedy has the potential to make us all come together in incredible ways and make us question the way things are. I do not have the right to speak for Michael or his family and friends. I cannot say what his death has brought them. But I have to believe that I live in a world where this man died so that others could be reminded how

and anyone who helps get them medical attention amnesty from being charged with a possession citation. This is done, Browne said, to encourage students to save lives instead of fearing criminal charges for being involved or speaking up. Amnesty is also covered in the prevention program. Browne believes College Life and the Law is making a difference. Hartnett’s friends lost sight of him on the night he died, yet other bystanders saw him in a dangerously impaired state throughout the evening and said nothing. Browne said alcohol education programs and students taking better care of each other will prevent future tragedies.

The most well-known programs to incoming freshmen students are the onlinebased AlcoholEdu session, which is mandatory for freshmen, and the “College Life and The Law” seminar. The latter is presented 12 times during Campus and Community Life Orientation sessions, Veith said. College Life and the Law covers topics such as the student code, how to protect your property, city ordinances and bystander intervention. However, Browne said the most important and effective part of the program deals with alcohol abuse. Police will give students who are over-intoxicated

“I would have thought that if CMU began installing cameras more than 10 years ago, they would have covered North Campus by now where we have so many incidents,” Obsentosky said. One of the locations which just recently received cameras is the Health Professions Building due to equipment thefts. Aside from adding new cameras to the North Residence Halls, CMUPD is working to update existing cameras. “We’re moving away from analog cameras,” Sienkiewicz said. “It’s basically like switching from standard definition to high definition.” CMUPD demonstrated the difference between the clarity of new and old cameras on their monitors. Newer cameras provide a much clearer, more defined and focusable image. Sienkiewicz said police cameras are not the only way to help keep an eye out for CMU’s community. “We encourage students to take care of each other,” Sienkiewicz said. “If you see something, call CMUPD and we can work together to keep the community safe.”

According to their police testimony they went to “The Store” on 2128 S Mission St. and spent $70-$80 on alcohol before meeting Hartnett at the tailgate. Thompson purchased one fifth of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, two fifths of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and one fifth of tequila. At the tailgate Hartnett acquired beer from others partying in the lots. He and Murray met Silski around 2:45 p.m. behind the scoreboard. He gave Hartnett the fifth of 66 proof whiskey Thompson purchased, according to police. The trio later received more beer from tailgaters. Murray told police they stood by a fraternity group in Lot 63 who gave them cans of beer, and each consumed about six Jell-O shots, which were obtained

from an unattended cooler that held around 100 shots. The Chippewas took the field against the Bobcats 3:30 p.m. at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Hartnett and his friends sat in the student section until halftime. They left to eat at Menna’s Joint on 1418 S Mission St. Silski told police Hartnett’s speech was slurred at the tailgate, and estimated he had close to 20 liquor drinks and beers throughout the day.

HOMECOMING NIGHT

Harnett went back to Murray’s room in Herrig Hall. He left Murray to socialize in Cobb Hall at 5:30 p.m., visiting freshman Allison Irving in her residence hall room with friends. Irving would later tell police she could tell Hartnett was experiencing an alcohol buzz because he was sarcastic and in good spirits, but he did not seem drunk. She told police she considered Hartnett to be a heavy drinker, but was conscious of his diabetes. She told police he was usually cautious while drinking. After socializing for about 30 minutes, Irving left Hartnett

A DRIN CONTAINING MORE K ALCOHOL

It was an event celebration — homecoming — that drew Michael Hartnett and his friends to CMU in October. A two-day drinking binge resulted in him becoming dangerously intoxicated and wandering away from his friends in the early hours of Oct. 5. He was found by police drowned in the pond near Fabiano Botanical Garden and Charles V. Park Library. Adults furnishing alcohol to minors while tailgating is something Harris said CMUPD always enforces. Following the investigation into Hartnett’s death, which showed he received alcohol from tailgaters on Oct. 4, partiers can expect even more scrutiny from police this fall. Any adult found furnishing alcohol to a minor on campus, or at a tailgate, could be charged with a misdemeanor, Harris said. Penalties include 60-90 days in jail, a maximum fine of $1,000 and mandatory community service. “Any time you have a tragedy, it triggers us to reevaluate the situation,” said Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne. Because of the trend toward event drinking, and

Nancy Parsons, a licensed professional counselor and addiction specialist in Mount Pleasant, describes the psychology behind college partying as being essential to a student’s need for freedom, independence and a sense of maturity. “(Students) come to college with a rosy bubble around them, thinking that it’s all going to be fun and games. Studying and education are second,” she said. “The fun and games are a powerful lure.” When Parsons counsels students for court-ordered treatment or at a parent’s urging to seek therapy, most often, alcohol abuse stems from assumptions and stereotypes about what students think college life is supposed to be like. Other messages include an obligation for experimentation with drugs and alcohol since students are able to be their own person, coupled with a need to feel included, Parsons said. Both Browne and Holtgreive also blame sweet, flavored-alcohol for making hard liquor more palatable to minors. Since it tastes more like soda or candy, it encourages drinkers to increase their rate of consumption. For students with little experience drinking 80-100 proof alcohol, and a low tolerance, excessive drinking often leads to blackouts or losing consciousness. When a student drinks too much and nears dangerous blood alcohol levels, significant health concerns can arise, particularly alcohol poisoning. Wilkerson said the alcohol itself may not be life threatening, but it does decrease the instinct to breath. Alcohol poisoning may also impair the gag reflexes, leaving the airway open and increasing the possibility of chocking on vomit. In addition to being the police department’s public information officer, Browne also acts as the MPPD liaison officer for the university’s alcohol education program. His involvement helps Browne establish a rapport with the student population in a way they wouldn’t otherwise have with police officers, he said. “This last Welcome Weekend was one of the reasons why I do the training that I do,” Browne said. “Two different groups came to me. (They) knew me, felt comfortable (reporting over-intoxicated students) and we made sure those people went home.” CMU has five existing and two planned alcohol education programs for students, Veith said, which exclude two programs set aside for parents, Resident Assistants and Multi-Cultural Advisers. Out of the nine programs held at the university, Browne is involved with at least five of them. Lt. Cameron Wassman of CMUPD also

On March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, Central Michigan Life reported EMS transported at least 10 students off campus to McLaren Central Michigan hospital for alcohol poisoning. Veith confirmed six of those alcohol-poisioning transports departed from residence halls. Dr. Daniel Wilkerson, director of emergency medicine at McLaren Central, said the number of studentrelated alcohol poisonings was actually higher. Wilkerson said he could not give a total number of alcohol poisoning patients due to HIPAA restrictions. “Most of the people we did see that day were highly intoxicated,” Wilkerson said. Drink-until-you-drop events are a big concern for emergency room staff. “It seems every time we have a major event we get quite a lot of students that come in intoxicated,” Wilkerson said. “Usually they’re not awake or have vomited on themselves. The main concern is protecting the airway to make sure (students) don’t (choke on their own vomit).” During “event drinking” gatherings — tailgating, Welcome Weekend parties, Finals Week parties and St. Patrick’s Day — safety is CMUPD’s No. 1 priority, said Capt. Fred Harris. Most CMU police officers will not engage students unless they are causing disturbances, are visibly intoxicated or doing harm to themselves or others. “We just don’t stop students randomly. That’s not our goal,” he said. “Most people are there to have a good time. It’s our obligation to just keep people safe.”

heavy-handed enforcement,” Browne said. “The feedback I usually get from students is, ‘Why are (police) so hard on us (for drinking)?’ We’ll educate and explain, but at some point, that isn’t enough. The next level has to be enforcement.”

how local police agencies tally citations, determining the number of minors charged with alcohol-related crimes is difficult. According to minor-in-possession citation data over the last 10 years, violations vary greatly. Central Michigan Life requested data from CMUPD and MPPD through Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act, a law that allows citizens access to public records. Mount Pleasant police lump MIP and open intox violations into the same category, making it harder to discern the actual number of minors cited for alcohol use in a given year. Additionally, the combination is used on the Michigan Incident Crime Reporting database, which also combines the violations into one category. MICR logs all of the available police data by year and can be found online at Michigan.gov. Last year, CMUPD wrote 148 MIP citations. Ten years ago, the department issued 267 citations. In comparison, MPPD wrote 297 MIP/Open Intox citations last year, as opposed to 177 in 2005. The highest spike for MIP data for CMU police was in 2007 with 300 citations issued. Recently, Mount Pleasant’s biggest year for MIP/Open Intox citations was in 2012 with 461 citations. When asked about spikes in data on certain years, both Harris and Browne attributed the jumps to social events that bring CMU students together, exposing underage students to peers who are 21 years old. Still, some parents, adults and other students feel that drinking with underage buddies or children is a victimless crime. The same AlcholEdu data detailing negative consequences of drinking shows that 11 percent of incoming freshmen reported someone taking advantage of them sexually. Five percent said they took advantage of someone sexually while drunk. There are also legal and financial consequences of underage drinking. If a student is cited for minor in possession of alcohol, it is classified as a misdemeanor, according to the Isabella County Trial Court’s schedule of misdemeanor convictions and consequences. Some students can get a sentence deferred, preventing the crime from showing up on a permanent criminal record. If students cannot get their sentences deferred, they can face long periods of probation with drug and alcohol screenings, along with mandatory rehabilitation and community service at the defendant’s expense. The state also reserves the right to suspend a driver’s license and can issue fines ranging from $100-$500, not including court costs and fees. Students caught drinking alcohol in a vehicle face even harsher penalties, like 90 days in jail on top of the other sanctions. The university has its own set of sanctions. Those violations can be found in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures Section 3.2.12 and 3.2.13 regarding controlled substances. The violations can be found under Section 4. “Students get caught up in

with others in her room to see a friend in Kulhavi Hall. Hartnett and a small group of friends left to visit Valerie Dynda in Larzelere Hall, where they met with Silski, Thompson and others to resume drinking in preparation for the night. Hartnett left to get alcohol out of Silski’s vehicle and moved it closer to Larzelere. Temperatures stayed in the 40s that night, averaging 46 degrees with 3 mph winds throughout the day. According to weather reports from The Weather Channel, Oct. 4 had been the coldest day in several weeks. Hartnett told Murray he was going to Main Street and assured Murray he would call when he was getting close to his residence hall. Haughney received texts from Hartnett around 11:08 p.m. letting her know he was on his way out for the night. Later that night she received texts that said he was lost. The last text she received from him was “:(“ texted at 12:08 a.m. The group was denied entrance to a few houses on Main Street but found success in a

sorority house where Hartnett was given shots. Thompson told police they had trouble being admitted to parties. The group became separated among the crowds as the night waned. Hartnett, Silski and Thompson continued partying past midnight, taking shots in several houses in the area before deciding to head home for the night. At this point, surveillance camera footage from cameras outside Grawn Hall shows Hartnett had trouble walking. His friends steadied him on their shoulders as they began walking back to where Silski’s car was parked.

helping him up after Hartnett fell several times. Silski later told police this frustrated him. This was the most drunk he had ever seen Hartnett, Silski said. A camera outside Grawn Hall captured the last video surveillance of Hartnett, with Silski and Thompson, at 12:47 a.m. The alcohol eventually took its toll. Hartnett began vomiting on the street, according to the police report, prompting the others to leave to find the car and come back for him. Thompson later told police she didn’t think he was able to walk another block. They told Hartnett to wait on the corner of South Wahsington and East Preston Streets while they went to the Towers to retrieve the car. Irving talked to Hartnett on the phone soon after and couldn’t understand his slurred words. She missed a call he placed to her at 1:10 a.m. but Harnett didn’t leave a message. Worried about her friend, Haughney tweeted Hartnett’s description and a photo, asking if anyone had seen him on the streets.

Sophomore Alexis Munoz and her boyfriend Nick Pitre told police they found Hartnett smelling like alcohol, intelligible and hardly on his feet at 1:30 a.m. in the middle of the street on Library Drive. At 1:30 p.m., the temperature had dropped to a chilly 40 degrees, with wind gusts up to 10 mph increasing the effects of the cold fall night. Munoz and Pitre offered Hartnett a ride in their cab. Hartnett told them “I will figure it out,” swaying until he steadied himself on a nearby tree. Pitre put his arm around Hartnett’s hip to guide him to the car, but Hartnett turned and walked away. Munoz responded to Haughney’s tweet the next day and later told police she received messages from others on Twitter after the incident that she should have done more to help. Munoz told police she sees kids drunk on campus like that often. Thompson and Silski stopped briefly in Kesseler Hall to warm up and made it back to the lot where they left Hartnett around 1:50 a.m. He was gone.

SGA House passes bill to allow use of medicinal marijuana campus By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

A bill for the use of medicinal marijuana on campus for students with chronic illnesses passed Monday night in the House at Student Government Association’s weekly meeting. The bill, which passed earlier in February in the Senate, will now be taken to the Office of Student Conduct in order to see if amendments can be made to current Residence Life policy. Chuck Mahone, president of SGA, said the “quality of research” that went into making the bill a reality is evident within the legislation. “I don’t think (the passing of this bill) reflects on CMU an institution but more of the will of the student body,” Mahone said. “If you look at this bill, it hinges on the federal (decriminalization of marijuana).” Mahone said although there is a slight correlation between this bill and recreational usage of marijuana, both having to do with the using of the drug, this bill would not condone or encourage such. “As soon as the federal government decriminalizes

(marijuana), recreational use will go up,” Mahone said. “It has nothing to do with this bill.” The bill’s creator, SGA Senator Ian Elliot, said the bill would not allow smoking on campus. However, students who use medicinal marijuana would be able to store their paraphernalia on campus without facing criminal charges. “Somebody asked that with this bill, would people be allowed to just walk around and smoke joints – the answer is no,” Elliot said. “Not only would you not be allowed to smoke joints after this bill is passed, but you never will be because the Michigan Medical Marijuana act says you cannot use your medication and you cannot smoke on public property or anywhere other than your private residence.” West Bloomfield freshman Starr Walker raised concerns over whether or not this would mean that students with medical marijuana access would be able to smoke in residence halls, fearing what smoking could bring into her residence hall room. Elliot explained residence halls aren’t private spaces. “The dormitory is not a

“Somebody asked that with this bill, would people be allowed to just walk around and smoke joints – the answer is no.” Ian Elliot, SGA Senator private residence,” Elliot said. “For the same reason that you can’t tell an officer or an RA that they cannot come into your residence, you’re not protected the same way you are in (an apartment).” Elliot, who is both a user of medicinal marijuana and a sufferer of epilepsy, said the medicine helps him to be able to attend college. “We have dozens and dozens of patients with epilepsy (on campus), including myself.” Elliot said. “A lot of us could not attend college if it were not for these special treatments, a lot of which are in non-smokeable, capsule or oil forms, no different than any other pills you take for any other ailment.” The bill would allow for students with conditions such as epilepsy, Dravat Syndrome and other ailments to use edible forms of marijuana to help users maintain their symptoms, particularly seizures. Marie Sokolosky, a repre-

sentative for Students for Life, also raised concerns about everything encompassed within the bill. “When (the bill) says ‘capsule form’ is that only what it’s talking about or is this (bill) talking about any form (of marijuana),” Sokolosky asked. After a resounding no, Elliot further explained the bill would only cover the possession of the marijuana flower itself, edibles and concentrates within a locked container that only the user could access. Possession of rolling papers and pipes, Elliot said, would also be protected under this bill. “This (bill) really should be looked at as a compassionate act,” Elliot said. “This by no means has anything to do with recreational use or anything beyond what is discussed between a doctor and (their) patients. We just want to allow access for those who use (medicinal marijuana).”

#NASHSTRONG blood drive unites students By Michael Young Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students filled the Bovee University Center’s Maroon and Gold room Tuesday to show support for a fellow Chippewa. Michigan Blood, along with Honors Outreach Network, presented the #NASHSTRONG Diversity Blood Drive in honor of freshman football player Derrick Nash. Nash is battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and has received many blood transfusions. For every person that donated blood, Michigan Blood gave $10 to the Derrick Nash Fund to help with Nash’s medical expenses. Tamar Chipp, who is the community relations coordinator for Michigan Blood, stressed the importance of diversity when it comes to giving blood. “We are looking to invite all people of different backgrounds to donate blood, mostly because through research we found that the best match for a patient who needs regular blood transfusions may come from a donor of the same ethnic background,” Chipp said. “It is vital that the community blood supply reflects the diversity of our community. Nash’s story inspired CMU students to donate blood for the first time. Cincinnati junior Ronald Mixon said he overcame his anxiety and took pride in participating in a good cause. “I was a little nervous at first because I’m not really a

those in need. They provide blood for more than 40 hospitals throughout the state. Michigan Blood consultant Karalee McKinstry said the turnout of CMU students was because of Nash’s story. “When we reached out to the community, there was an overwhelming response of concern for Derrick, and also a ton of people who were inspired by his story and his courage,” McKinstry said. “There are many people who are donating because of his strength and who he is on CMU’s campus as a champion.”

Veteran Resource Center encourages faculty to take Kognito training By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

The three-year contract of an online roleplaying simulation training called Veterans on Campus is available to faculty and staff of Central Michigan University, but will expire in the fall of 2016. “I’m trying to challenge everyone to take this one step to support our troops,” said Veterans on Campus Training Program Manager Tamara Hullender. Developed with Kognito Interactive, the training program is an interactive online service funded by CMU’s Global Operations. The user of the virtual training can pick different ways to react to scenarios and watch which actions cause negative or positive repercussions. It is designed to educate on the value student veterans bring to campus, obstacles they may face at college, techniques for managing discussions on sensitive topics and the best practices for connecting the student veterans with appropriate support services when necessary, according to the Kognito Interactive website. “It helps you understand what (a student veteran’s) situation is, but also how every student has something unique about them,” Hullender said. “It helps everybody regardless of who their students are.” The training is self-paced and takes about a half hour to complete. There are three virtual scenarios with a student veteran and faculty avatar the user must navigate through: a classroom setting, an administrative office setting and a faculty office setting.

Football opens spring practice with focus on fundamentals, teamwork By Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

With the first regular season game of 2015 five months away, the Central Michigan University football team has spent the last two weeks working on fundamentals and gaining its identity during spring practice. In preparation for the annual Maroon vs. Gold Scimmage, set for 1 p.m. April 25, and led by first-year Head Coach John Bonamego, the Chippewas practiced Tuesday in pads for the first time this season. “I know it feels great for these guys to be able to get back out here and play football again,” Bonamego said. “(The night before the first practice) I was so excited I could barely sleep. I think we’ve got a really good team to work with here.” The Chippewas will be led on offense by junior quarterback Cooper Rush, whose two seasons behind center have earned him the trust of his teammates and offensive coordinator Morris Watts. “I just let (Rush and Watts) do their thing,” Bonamego said. “Coach Watts has done this a long time. We’ve talked in general terms about how

we’d like the offense to look. That’s not something that’s broke, so why go fix it?” Rush threw for seven touchdowns and 493 yards in CMU’s last game, a 49-48 loss to Western Kentucky in the inaugural Popeyes Bahamas Bowl. He said the rudiments developed in “spring ball” are just as important to the team’s veterans as they are CMU’s freshmen. “It helps me, it helps everybody really,” Rush said. “(The two quarterbacks

behind me) are working hard and trying to get better. They’ve got a lot to learn, but every time they see a play they are gaining knowledge and experience.” Bonamego said Rush and the Chippewas will at times run a more up-tempo no huddle offense this fall; they call it “NASCAR.” “It’s been going well communication wise,” Rush said. “We’ve been working at it. We’ve got to keep practicing it and it’ll get better.” While not much has

changed schematically for the Chippewas on offense, the CMU defense has gotten a facelift. Newly-hired defensive coordinator Greg Colby has implemented a 4-3 defense, forcing veteran defensive back Tony Annese to play toward the field’s boundary as a free safety. “It’s a little different, having to play in some tighter space,” Annese said. “I can play both positions. It won’t be hard.” As his unit learns a new

Mid-American Conference responds to Indiana law The Mid-American Conference has responded to Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying it will not have future events in the state. “The Mid-American Conference will not schedule any more meetings or championships in Indiana until this current matter is brought to a sensible and appropriate conclusion,” Steinbrecher told ESPN. While Ball State University

is the only MAC school in Indiana, the conference held its president’s meeting this year in Indianapolis. MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher told ESPN he has suggested pulling all NCAA events from Indiana and moving the NCAA’s national office out of Indianapolis. The bill is causing national concern because critics say businesses and individuals can use it to discriminate against LGBT people.

Many MAC sports—excluding football, basketball, baseball, softball and a few others—have the individual schools host championships on a rotating schedule. The only championships Ball State will host this season are the men’s and women’s outdoor track and field championships May 14-16. -Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

Tisdale hopes new lacrosse complex will serve as ‘place to call home’ for first varsity team The addition of a new women’s lacrosse team to Central Michigan University also brings a new lacrosse complex. The $8 million project is expected to be completed by mid-September. Sara Tisdale, the first head coach of the women’s lacrosse team, said the facility will symbolize the start of something special within CMU Athletics. “The facility is a great addition to our athletic community in general,” Tisdale said. “It’s going to give our lacrosse student-athletes a

place to really call home.” The new field, according to Tisdale, will consist of a team gathering room as well as a locker room. The field will be made of synthetic turf and comes with lights, allowing the team to practice and play games after hours. “The biggest advantage is we won’t be weather-dependent,” Tisdale said. “We’ll be able to get after it every single day no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.” Synthetic turf is more popular than natural grass for lacrosse teams and Tisdale said the playing surface

will be another advantage for her team, especially when it comes to traveling for road game. As construction of the facility is underway, Tisdale is busy recruiting. “I’m really excited about the class we’re bringing in here, which features 27 incoming freshmen,” she said. “It’s a great group of young ladies who will be top-notch in the classroom and also, we think, on the field.” -Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Gymnastics heads to NCAA Regionals as quest for national title continues By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan University gymnastics team’s quest for a national championship continues this weekend. The No. 21 Chippewas visit Columbus, Ohio for the NCAA Regional Championships at 6 p.m. Saturday. Following a heartbreaking finish at Kent State University, taking a secondplace in the Mid-American Conference Championships, Head Coach Jerry Reighard and the team is moving on. “It really does affect us and we just have to put that behind us now,” Reighard said. “There is no easy NCAA Regional, but when you get a region with the No. 1 team in nation, we don’t expect to beat them.” The Chippewas face No. 6 the University of Michigan and No. 7 the University of California at Los Angeles. “We have to use (the loss at Kent State) as motivation push us forward and leave it behind us,” said senior Kylie Fagan. The Bruins managed five performances of 9.5 or better during their most

On the vault, both U-M and UCLA consistently hit the 49.4 mark. “We’re not changing routines, we’re going to refine what we do,” Reighard said.“ Our goal is 49.25 on each event.” Reighard’s goal would give the Chippewas the 197 they aim for, something

Davis, Rawls talk effects of Bahamas Bowl before NFL Draft By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

The Popeyes Bahamas Bowl was four months ago, but former Central Michigan University running back Thomas Rawls and wide receiver Titus Davis were still talking about the game at Central Michigan University Pro Day March 20. Davis had six catches, 137 yards and four touchdowns in his final game as a Chippewa, including the final dive to the pylon to bring CMU within one point after the clock expired in the fourth quarter. “That’s kind of the thing guys brought up at the combine,” Davis said. “As soon as they met me, they said ‘How about that last play?’ Every scout talked about it, so I think that helped me out a little bit.” Davis said he believes his performance in the bowl game helps his stock in this month’s NFL draft. “That’s definitely one of the games that scouts will go back to and look over before the draft, so I was pleased with that.” Davis, Rawls and defensive tackle Leterrius Walton were all invited to February’s NFL Combine and were three of 15 seniors to participate in the Chippewas’ March 13 Pro Day. Rawls said scouts asked him about the bowl game as well, but for different reasons. The Flint native didn’t make the trip to The Bahamas after being suspended for academic reasons. He talked more about the issue Friday. “It was just an academic issue,” Rawls said. “It was a lot of misunderstanding as far as the credit hours. I was supposed to be enrolled in nine and I was in nine, but one of my classes wasn’t an

NCAA Tournament produces a Final Four of coaching giants Who has the coaching advantage at this year's Final Four? There's a coach who has been enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. Two others, Kentucky's John Calipari and Wisconsin's Bo Ryan, are Hall of Fame finalists. The outlier is Michigan State's Tom Izzo, who will be a Hall of Fame slam dunk, as he leads the Spartans to a Final Four for the seventh time. "They're really the best of the best," Krzyzewski said Monday. "It's really an honor for me to be in a Final Four with those three programs and those three coaches because they've all understood the commit-

the Badgers had missed a chance to take a threepoint lead when Traevon Jackson missed a free throw, Wisconsin's only miss in 20 attempts, leaving the lead at two points. "This will be a really hard game for our team," said Calipari, whose Wildcats are coming off a two-point victory over Notre Dame in the Midwest Region final. "We know that." Krzyewski and Izzo say the same thing about their game, but Izzo isn't buying any suggestion that the Blue Devils and Spartans have a rivalry during the current coaches' tenures. Duke leads series 8-1. "Somebody said, 'You guys have a good rivalry,' " Izzo said. "I said you can't have a rivalry when it's 8-1. It will be fun to see if we can change that around."

and Calipari's Wildcats defeated Kansas for the 2012 title. Although this is Ryan's second Final Four appearance, he owns four NCAA Division III championships coaching WisconsinPlatteville in the 1990s. Two of those teams went undefeated, which gives Ryan a bit of insight into what Kentucky, 38-0, is attempting to accomplish. "I know what it's like to be 10-0, 15-0, 25-0 and what that does to a team," Ryan said. "It actually makes our practices better. I just thought it made us better while we were undefeated because of how you learned to deal with outside pressures." Last year, Kentucky won a nail-biter 74-73 on Aaron Harrison's three-pointer with 6 seconds remaining. Ten seconds earlier,

The national semifinal battles match Duke and Michigan State in Saturday's opener in Indianapolis at 5:09 p.m. Kentucky meets Wisconsin around 7:49 p.m. No Final Four newbie coaches here. The Badgers and Wildcats will meet in the semifinals for a second straight year. Duke and Michigan State are back in the Final Four for the first time since 2010. Each of the coaches has won an NCAA championship. Krzyzewski has four titles in his previous 11 Final Four appearances. If Duke wins the tournament, Coach K will stand behind only UCLA's John Wooden with the most titles at five. Wooden has 10. Izzo's Spartans won the 2000 championship,

Rawls had more than 120 yards in five games in 2014. “The guys that went down there played their butts off and finished off strong,” Rawls said. NFL scouts also had questions about Rawls’ court case from last fall. He said both situations have been motivation for him as he works toward an NFL career. “I didn’t take it as a negative, I take it as a positive,” Rawls said. “I take everything in a positive way.

Members of the Inside/Out program spend their Tuesday evenings at the Central Michigan Correctional Facility for a SOC 399 class March 31 in St. Louis.

inside incarceration Unique sociology course pairs students with innamates to show a different side of prison life By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

Thirteen students will see the inside of a prison more than a dozen times by the end of this semester, but they won’t be serving sentences. Members of Central Michigan University’s chapter of Inside/Out spend every Tuesday evening of the spring semester in the Central Michigan Correctional Facility in St. Louis. SOC 399: Social Issues Through the Prism of a Prison is taught by sociology faculty Justin Smith, who received the 2015 Provost’s Award for Outstanding Re-

search and Activity for his examination of the criminal justice system. “It’s (13) students from the inside and (13) students from the outside,” Smith said. “Half the students are from CMU and half are incarcerated men serving time in St. Louis correctional facility. We meet once a week. We talk about issues such as the criminal justice system, but we also talk about gender, race and racism, class, social change and social movements and collective action.” The Inside/Out program began in 1997 at Philadelphia’s Temple University, and has since become a staple of

social and criminal justice education at over 100 universities, including University of Michigan Dearborn, Michigan State, Grand Valley, Northern Michigan and Eastern Michigan Universities. This program was adapted into a special topics course by Smith and sociology faculty Liz Bradshaw last year. “It was a phenomenal experience. It leaves students with a changed perspective on the social justice system,” Bradshaw said. Both sets of students apply for and undergo an interview process before being accepted into the program. Inside students are comprised of 13

men serving sentences in the facility, and range in age from 20 to 65 years old. “About half of the 13 inside students are late 20’s-early 30’s and the rest are 45-65,” said Rochester Hills senior Samantha Christie. “A lot of them have been incarcerated for several years, but they’re up to date on current events. There’s been class periods when I’ve learned more about a current event from one of them. It’s cool to know that they’re so interested in following along. They’re inmates, and there’s a reason for that, but it’s easy to look past that.” w Inside | 3B

Take Back the Night to raise awareness of sexual violence on campus By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

With one in four women in the United States experiencing rape and thousands more experiencing domestic abuse, stalking and sexual harassment, Saginaw senior Marie Reimers said raising awareness and speaking out lets survivors know they’re not alone. Students Advocating for Gender Equality, a registered student organization that advocates feminism on campus and beyond, is hosting Take Back the Night 2015, an event to speak out against sexual violence. The three-day event takes place April 6-9 and is being led by Reimers and Ortonville senior Hannah Mollett, president of SAGE. “Take Back the Night is an effort to empower survivors. At the end of the day, the voices that are most important in the fight to end sexual violence are the women who have experienced it,” Reimers said. “We want survivors to

feel safe and supported, and all of events during Take Back the Night Week are meant to do that.” The event begins 7 p.m. Monday with a trauma centered yoga session in Kulhavi Hall room 41. The yoga session is intended to help survivors of sexual violence reclaim and become comfortable with their bodies, focusing on self-love and becoming more in tune with their bodies. Tuesday gives students a chance to take a stand against sexual violence by writing down why they are against sexual violence, what they are doing to end sexual violence or part of their personal story on a whiteboard to create a Support Survivors Photo Series. The table will be set up 2 p.m to 5 p.m in the Down Under Food Court in the Bovee University Center. The series will be posted on the Take Back the Night Facebook page to spread awareness. “I feel it’s important to raise w NIGHT | 3B

Junior is motivating, without dominating, in logistics By Tess Francke Staff Reporter

As the first freshman to be accepted into the Logistics Management Council, Lindsey Mason uses her passion for leadership to balance course work, the Central Michigan University pom team and internships. According to a 2013 Education Data Show Gender Gap in Career Preparation report, women make up fewer than one in four students in STEM Career and Technical Education programs, fewer than one in six students in manufacturing and architecture and construction-related CTE programs, and fewer than one in 10 students in transportation, distribution and logistics CTE programs. Mason said she encourages women to embrace diversity in an innovative work force. The Canton junior has had internships with Marathon Petroleum Corporation and Amway Marketing Company. Mason holds leadership positions in several organizations such as Alpha Kappa Psi, a business fraternity, and the Logistics and Marketing Council. Mason has served as on the executive board of both organizations. Mason sat down with Central Michigan Life to talk about her experience

inside | continued from 1B This is currently the only course available at CMU that holds class inside of a correctional facility. “I went to the closing ceremony at the end of April last year and heard a lot of the student comments, and a lot of them said that this was their best experience of their college career, going to St. Louis Correctional Facility to class,” said Katherine Rosier, Chair of the Departent of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work. “A lot of this is a reaction to making sure we’re

as a leader on campus and working in a male-dominated workforce. As a woman interning at companies like Marathon Petroleum Corporation and Amway Marketing Company, do you feel women are underrepresented in Marketing and Logistics? MASON: Yes. The vice president of (Amway), who is female, told me men typically dominate the supply chain industry. As a female you’re the minority and if you don’t have the same type of humor or personality as the men you work with, you won’t be able to move up as quickly. Being able to fit in with them is the only way women can move up. It’s important for working cohesively in teams. It’s been important to have the personality as well as the skills.

what it means to have a man’s personality in business? It’s all about how you can relate to your coworkers and lead people. Society is becoming a lot more laid back, so you have to be able to have fun with your coworkers and employees and be able to motivate them without being dominating. Something that Amway taught me was to lead without authority and that stuck with me.

had to work harder to be recognized as a prominent figure in the STEM fields? I’m not someone who just sits in class and tries to be quiet, I’m pretty outgoing. With (those characteristics) combined with being a girl. I’m assumed to be ditzy, whereas for a guy it’s considered confidence. I have to prove I’m taking the class seriously to prove to professors that I am going to stand out and meet expectations.

Do men have similar experiences when working in STEM fields? I think it’s something they don’t have to consider as much because of how our society is. Men are looked at as leaders and strong alpha males. I think men are more confident and secure in their position when they’re applying for jobs.

Does this factor into your plans for the future? It made me question where I want to (go) because I’ve worked in petroleum, which is maledominated. It makes it more stressful and high-pace in comparison to other industries. All the leaders are male, so if I ever want to move up and be in a higher position I have to pick the right company and make the right moves to end up where I want to be. Can you elaborate on

Do you feel there is a strong representation of women in the STEMbased courses taught at CMU? I’ve only had about two or three female professors. There are a lot of male professors that still support me. Just recently, the Logistics Management Council adviser became a female. It’s cool to see (women) starting to (participate in STEM).

What is your advice for women who want to work in marketing and logistics? For women, the earlier you get involved in (organizations) geared toward your major proves you can compete with men in the field and sets you apart. Since my freshman year I have had internships, a part of Alpha Kappa Psi and was the first freshman accepted into LMC. It shows on your resume and employers take you seriously. Once you get your foot in the door, it’s easier to branch out and show what you can do to prove that you’re worth the time for an interview. At the same time, try not to spread yourself too thin that you can’t give full effort to your organization. Evaluate what is most important and make that the main focus of what you want to achieve that semester.

improving education in prisons, but also in higher education institutions, so it’s a way to offer CMU students a very diverse setting to learn in,” Smith said. “It’s a way to learn from a variety of experiences, a variety of ages.” He and Bradshaw would like to see other departments offer the same experience for students in the future. “Both the inside guys and outside students get a lot out of it,” Smith said. “The inside guys are mostly older, and they’ve been through a different lifestyle than the students. The students have had a lot more access to education. We’re able to have a lot of

good discussions. It isn’t a lecture, we sit in a circle and discuss.” Livonia senior Brynn Cavanaugh found that her inside classmates were surprisingly “well-spoken” and helped generate interesting discussion on social issue topics. “Different perspectives bring out different opinions, but we actually have a lot in common,” Cavanaugh said. “A lot of our discussions are very unifying, there isn’t a lot of difference between us.” CMU students wear maroon shirts and jeans when in class behind bars, donning uniforms of their own to address their classmates as equals.

night | continued from 1B awareness to show survivors they are not alone in their fight, along to uncover some of the myths about sexual violence, such as how many people think of the perpetrators as strangers, which is the opposite from the truth,” said Flint freshman Carissa Martin. “(I’m looking forward to) people just coming together and supporting each other in a great cause. I have never been to one of these before and have always wanted to go, so I’m very

excited to see how everything goes.” Wednesday features a screening of Telling Amy’s Story, a documentary about domestic violence. The documentary will begin at 8 p.m. in the Isabella Room in the UC. The series of events will conclude at 6:30 p.m on April 9 in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium with a speech by Roxane Pacholka about her story as a survivor of child sexual abuse and a march down Main Street to “Take Back the Night.” Once the march reaches the Veterans Memorial Library downtown, a survivor speak-out will take place. At the speak out, survivors of sexual violence

will be able to share their stories in a safe place. Chesterfield senior Danielle Cywka said sexual assault and violence is a topic that still isn’t talked about enough and needs addressing. “Until everyone understands that victims are never to blame when an act of sexual aggression occurs, and until everyone understands that rape jokes aren’t funny, and can understand why a survivor may not report, among so many other reasons, I will keep fighting,” Cywka said. “I’m attending Take Back The Night because while slowly but surely the culture might change, there is still so much work to be done.”

Allida Black speaks about Eleanor Roosevelt’s advocacy for human rights By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

To conclude Women’s History Month and introduce Human Rights Month, Allida Black spoke about a part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s story that is often forgotten to history. The first event of Human Rights Month, “Eleanor Roosevelt and the Struggle to Define Human Rights” took place in Central Michigan University’s Charles V. Park Library Auditorium Tuesday. Allida Black, a Senior Fellow at the Women’s Research and Education Institute and a George Washington University professor, spoke about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Eleanor Roosevelt’s involvement in creating the document. Women and Gender Studies, the Department of History and the Clarke Historical Library sponsored the event. According to philosophy professor Hope May, who provided the introduction for the event, CMU’s Center for Professional and Personal Ethics has sponsored Human Rights Month since 2010. May said Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech, “Making Human Rights Come Alive,” embodies the goal of Human

Rights Month. On the screen in the auditorium, images from Eleanor Roosevelt’s visit to CMU in 1955 played. “One story that has not been included in our memory, in CMU’s memory, of Eleanor Roosevelt’s visit to this place is what she was really doing at that time,” May said. She said many people know Eleanor Roosevelt as a First Lady, but Eleanor Roosevelt really began her human rights work after her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s death. Black said this story is one people are just now starting to understand. She said Eleanor Roosevelt was political from a young age. She was on-site during WWII, traveled around the U.S. during the Great Depression, was a nationally syndicated columnist and had her own lecture tour. She was selfeducated, with only four years of education. The United Nations decided a human rights bill had to be written. “It (became) very apparent to all of the members of the committee and all the members of the United Nations that Eleanor (was) the person to chair the committee,” Black said. “One nation

objected to her being appointed: the United States.” Eleanor Roosevelt accepted the position and began to chair the committee. Black said Eleanor understood war, poverty and education issues more than the diplomats did. “She understood risk,” Black said. “But what she also understood is that the world needed a new vision. Her vision was that the declaration could help keep the world together.” Black said Eleanor edited the declaration to make it something that people could understand. Eleanor believed that if people couldn’t understand it, it wasn’t going to work. She met with every delegate one-on-one and met with others, such as custodial staff, to make sure the declaration would be presented in a way that people could understand. The declaration is a model for governments throughout the world. “When you look at Eleanor’s struggle to articulate human rights, I want you to think about a woman with four years of education, who made herself familiar with all the major religions of the world, who understood that it took a fierce tenacity to get people to treat each

other with respect, especially in the shadow of war,” Black said. After Black finished speaking, audience members asked questions about human rights. Black also said she had some questions for the audience, asking them what they’re going to do about these issues and whether or not they’re registered to vote. Throughout the month of April, there will be more Human Rights Month events.
