life in brief ccfa Recommendation sent to Provost for CCFA dean The College of Communication and Fine Arts dean search committee has sent its recommendation for the next dean to Provost Michael Gealt. The last CCFA dean candidate to interview, Steven Block, had his forum March 26. The two other candidates, Shelly Hinck and Janet Hethorn, had their interviews and forums in February. Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, dean of the College of Education and Human Services and head of the search committee, said the committee has finished their work and the decision now in the provost’s hands. Faculty, staff and students who attended the forums could submit written feedback after hearing each candidate speak, and the committee considered their feedback when making the recommendation. The committee also reviewed feedback from the individuals who interviewed the candidates. She said the provost will review the candidates based on what he’s looking for and the committee’s input. “(The search committee was) a very committed and very thorough group,” Pehrsson said. - Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

Toll Political Science faculty studies effects of conflict, displacement in home country of Nepal By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter

If all refugees in the world were to comprise one nation, that nation would be the 26th largest in the world. Not since World War II have there been so many displaced by conflict. While that may be hard to believe for those living in Michigan, it has been the project of Central Michigan University faculty Prakash Adhikari’s life. Adhikari, who grew up in the northeast Taplejung district of Nepal, spent three years studying the Nepalese Civil War that tore apart his country. This civil war pitted the Communist Party of Nepal, led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal, against the reigning parliamentary system that had been opposing leftist reforms. This conflict led to the deaths of an estimated 17,000 civilians and displaced 100,000 more, according to Insight on Conflict. As a CMU faculty member since 2011, Adhikari brought his refugee experience to Mount Pleasant. Adhikari organized a collection for refugees living in Michigan with the help of students in his POLS 398A: Armed Conflicts, Forced Migrations and Conflict Resolutions class and Amnesty International CMU, a registered student organization. This collection was scheduled to end March 25, but students and faculty are still donating items. As of April 1, 258 items, including silverware, toothbrushes, razors, toilet paper and hangers have been donated to the collection effort. The items will

“I wanted to find out what makes these people stay. Are they not afraid of death? What is keeping them? That is what got me into studying refugees.” Prakash Adhikari, Political Science and Public Adminisration Facult y be given to relocated refugees through the Refugee Development Center in Lansing. “These people are really in need,” said Amnesty’s vice president Mallory Walton. “We’ve been getting a really good response from students.”

STUDIES ABROAD

Adhikari, who traveled to the United States after earning his masters degree in economics from Tribhuvan University in Nepal in 1997, took an interest in a lesser-known aspect of conflict research: the human toll. “Not many people are interested in studying refugees, which I thought was interesting because people are interested in understanding the causes of war, but not the causes of refugees, or the plight of refugees and the challenges they face,” he said. “I could have gotten data from anywhere and just written it and been finished. I thought, since I was already spending time writing a dissertation, why not do something

that is interesting and something I like, and so I picked this.” After fighting to receive the $12,000 Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant from the National Science Foundation in 2008, Adhikari began the lengthy process of studying displaced persons in Nepal. “I wanted to study the causes of flight. So I studied people who left, people who stayed behind and people who left and then came back home,” he said. “If you want to understand why some people flee, you need to understand why some do not.” Countries such as Afghanistan, which has been in conflict since before Adhikari was born, should be empty by the logic that the fear of harm is a universal motivator. If everyone thought that way, the country would be empty of civilians, he said. Somalia, which has been without a recognized government for decades, is still populated. w toll | 5a

The number of international students has grown to 1,088 students this semester, the most in the history of Central Michigan University’s foreign exchange program. Students interested in studying at CMU originate from many countries, including Nigeria, China, Saudi Arabia and Germany. The body of international students has grown at a rapid pace within the span of just a few years. In fall 2012, there were 583 international students enrolled in the program. In 2015, that number has nearly doubled. To keep up with the large expansion in international students, the Office of International Affairs has had to grow as well. A recent addition to the team, International Student Adviser Megan Hoffer said word of mouth has played a large role in the increase of international students. “Students have told us they’ve had a great experience while here, and when they go back to their home country, they encourage other students to attend CMU,” Hoffer said. Hoffer works closely with many of the foreign students. Her job is to help them become more comfortable with their living situation, and to provide them with a worthwhile experience overall. Aside from coming to CMU specifically for their academic programs, other students like Jiang Lee, a freshman from South Korea, wanted to enjoy the cultural atmosphere of being in America as well. She recalled that although it was a rewarding experience, and continues to be, it was difficult transitioning from South Korea to America initially. “I had taken almost five years of English and I was confident in my speaking skills, but once I got to America, I had the hardest time trying to understand the people around me and trying to communicate with them,” Lee said. Even though Lee faced problems, she was happy to have gone through the experience. “I loved watching myself grow and become more comfortable in a foreign place,” she said. Although the reasoning for each international student attending school outside of their country varies from one to the next, Hoffer said many students come because CMU offers the field that they want to study, and has a lot of great academic programs that are known nationally and worldwide. Nahm Le, a freshman from Vietnam, moved to CMU in August for its marketing program. Singapore junior Livia Tong used a study abroad program to major in business, one of the university’s most nationally recognized programs.

CMU paid $145,475 to play in Bahamas Bowl By Malachi Barrett News Editor

Institutional bowl game expenses for the 2014 Popeyes Bahamas Bowl were submitted to the NCAA April 1. Expenses for transportation, meals, lodging and other costs totaled $595,474. Central Michigan University paid 25 percent of the expenses, $145,474, while the Mid-American Conference provided a $450,000 stipend that covered flight costs and meals for 239 players, staff members and cheerleaders. Ken Mather, associate commissioner for media and public relations for the Mid-American Conference,

said bowl distribution payments are arranged with the specific bowl game years in advance. Payments are not dependent on which team participates in the game. The $450,000 covered 75 percent of bowl expenses for CMU. Mather said the MAC does not disclose how this distribution amount is determined. Transportation expenses totaled $371,542, and $116,310 was spent on meals for the four-day trip. Room costs at Atlantis Paradise Island were provided free to CMU and opponent Western Kentucky, while passports for all players were paid for by CMU w bowl | 5a

SI sessions offer extra support for struggling students By Sydney Nummer Staff Reporter

Students who attend free supplemental instructional learning sessions receive on average one-half to one full letter grade higher. St. Johns freshman Meghan Murphy attended SI sessions for BIO: 110. During her struggles with biology, she joined her fellow classmates to better understand the material. “(My instructor) took a new perspective on the material and it was more hands-on than it was in class” Murphy said. Practice quizzes provided in SI allowed her to preform better than she would have without them, Murphy said. She was also able to make connections with people in her class so she could study with others. “I probably wouldn’t have been able to pass the class without SI, or I wouldn’t have done as well as I hoped

without the SI session,” Murphy said. Amy Swaney, professor of ACT: 250, said her class is required for those who intend to be a part of the business program. It can be quite difficult for those who do not have an accounting major, she said. “It is an area or is a class where there are students who really do struggle and need some individual attention or need some extra guidance or extra help in order to be successful,” Sweeney said. Howell freshman Josh Harrison regularly participated in MTH: 105 sessions. Because of his struggles in math, Harrison needed something to better his understanding. “These sessions have really helped me. It’s nice to get it from a different point of view or a different perspective,” Harrison said. When Harrison had trouble understanding the teacher’s presentation, he

found SI leaders made it easier for him. “SI sessions have been very helpful. I’d probably be failing the class if it weren’t for SI. I have a B in my math class right now because of the extra help that SI has provided for me,” Harrison said. Jim Dunn, the BIO: 208

and BIO: 101 leader, has spent four semesters as a SI leader. Though SI mainly helps academics, Dunn also perceives it as an opportunity to connect with his students. “I really enjoy building connections with students on a more personal level.

They come because they want help with the class, but often times I end up helping with scheduling for classes or picking a major. I just really get to know them well, and that’s the most rewarding part,” Dunn said. After observing data obtained from SI classes, Dunn

maintains one conclusion. “Students who regularly attend SI sessions before their exam do about 10 percent better than the class average. I’m a firm believer that coming to SI regularly can really help you do a lot better in class if you’re struggling.”

More active learning classrooms coming to campus this summer By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Active learning classrooms are being added to Pearce Hall this summer. These classrooms are designed to make students collaborate on assignments and problem solving, rather than listen to lectures. The ALC approach is being used more prevalently nationwide because of consistent evidence that shows students learn more and keep the knowledge and skills they gain, as they progress through their college careers. The preliminary assessment of courses taught in the ALC last

work out,” said Associate Dean of the College of Science and Technology Jane Matty. “CMU plans to convert two classrooms in Pearce Hall into active-learning classrooms this summer, and they will be available to every department on campus, not just designated to science or English or math. The classes will be coordinated through the Registrar’s office.” Each room is equipped with multiple tables and large screens so students can work in groups on specific problems. This gives professors an easier way to walk around the class and get feedback during the lesson. Some courses are offered as active learning classes and regular lectures. “The ALC has good intentions,” said Shelby Township freshman Shelby Oakes. “We sit in groups of four or five and are supposed to work together to complete problems. In lecture, it was only expected that we sit, listen and take notes. Since being in the ALC for almost a whole semester, I have worked with my group members maybe three times. It’s like listening to a lecture but at a smaller table. If the ALC was utilized to it’s full potential, it would correspond well with my learning style.” Since the ALC is fairly new, many professors who are used to basic lecture settings are learning how to prepare for group-oriented classrooms. In these newer classrooms, there is more problem solving in between lecturing and the set up makes it easier 4445 East Bluegrass for professors to judge the Mt Pleasant students

fall shows significant reduction in DEW rates. DEW is the proportion of students who earn D’s, E’s or withdraw from the class. These rates were 20 percent lower than the five year averages. Faculty on the College of Science and Technology Active Learning committee will conduct further assessments of student learning at the end of this semester and again next year. Two classrooms in the Dow Science Complex were converted into active learning classrooms in 2014: 108 and 135. Courses such as chemistry, geology and physics are taught in these rooms. “These classrooms were just added in 2014 to see how it would

“My philosophy is finding a balance between the traditional way of conveying information and working in different ways for students to problem solve. When possible, I like to have students do hands-on activities.” Janice Tomasik, Assistant Professor of Chemistry understanding of the content. “There is definitely a lot of preparatory work involved in teaching these active learning classrooms,” said Assistant Professor of Chemistry Janice Tomasik. “The students’ success depends a lot on how the teacher works with the class. My philosophy is finding a balance between the traditional way of conveying information and working in different ways for students to problem solve. When possible, I like to have students do hands-on activities.” Tomasik has noted a higher average of test scores in her activelearning classroom compared to that of a lecture. Without a deeper analysis, the test scores seem higher, but the tests are also slightly different. At the end of the semester, faculty are planning to compare the American Chemical Society final exams to see if there is a difference in scores based off of the type of learning environment. “When classrooms change, it can be hard for the students and the professors to adapt,” Tomasik said. “If students exhibit higher learning

skills and higher test scores, then it’s definitely worth the hard work.” While there is evidence of higher scores for students in active learning classrooms, some students said they learn more efficient in a traditional classroom set-up. Goodrich freshman Lizzy Kippe said she does not like the way active learning classes are scheduled. “There was no option one way or another when I was selecting my classes, so I essentially was placed in the ALC based on the day and time I chose my chemistry class,” Kippe said. “I think students should be able to pick an ALC class or lecture based on their personal learning style instead of being thrown into them.”

MAKING a name in

BEER BREWING Wyandotte senior pursues craft beer dreams with entrepreneurship degree Tess Francke Staff Reporter

A

ndrew Mayros wants to open a bar when he graduates, so it made sense to him to start crafting his own product to kickstart his dream. Recently accepting an internship with Mountain Town Station Brewing, the Wyandotte senior is pursuing a bachelors degree in entrepreneurship. He plans to open a brewing company of his own within the next three years. According to the Brewers Association, craft brewing contributes over $133 million to Michigan’s economy. Grand Rapids was voted “Beer City USA” in 2012. Mayros sat down to discuss his experience with the industry of craft brewing as a hobby and career. How long have you been brewing? What sparked your interest in it? MAYROS: I’ve been brewing for a year. I’ve always wanted to own my own bar, something my mom and stepdad were (skeptical) about. My stepdad thought it would be better for me to brew. He bought me my first kit and we made beer together. I realized it was something

Christiana Kurtz | Staff Photographer Wyandotte senior Andrew Mayros stands with his brewing equipment and a homemade beer March 25 in his home on Main Street in Mount Pleasant.

“You can make beer out of anything. All you need to have is fermentable sugars so the yeast can eat the sugar to make alcohol. I’ve thought of a million things, but it’s all about trial and error. For example, I wanted to mix a cactus pear with honey only to realize after brewing, the flavors aren’t compatible.” Andrew Mayros, Wyandotte senior

I had fun doing and it gave me a sense of (pride) in my product. How long did it take you to learn the process of brewing? I made my first batch of beer with a kit, but I am still learning and will always be learning. Every batch has something crazy that happens. I have to fix it and recover from it. It’s a constant learning process. What inspires the flavors of beer? You can make beer out of anything. All you need to have is fermentable sugars so the yeast can eat the sugar to make alcohol. I’ve thought of a million things, but it’s all about trial and error. For example, I wanted to mix a cactus pear with honey only to realize after brewing, the flavors aren’t compatible. Does your entrepreneurship major correlate with your passion for brewing? When I first came to college, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur and own something, but I didn’t know what. When I (began brewing) college became easier. Almost every question I ask in class, and every project I do is brewing and customer related. I want to know how I can put my beer on the market and take it to the next level with my beer. How do you plan to market your beer in a way that will stand out? Things sell when they are unique and rare. With craft beer, you have room to be more creative. For example, if I wanted to make a seasonal beer I could replace regular bottle tops with a cork to make it stand out. It’s cool because then the brewer becomes an artist. It’s often about the chemistry of taste and proper branding. My brewery will be set apart from others because I want each beer to tell a story. I wanted (one of my beers) to taste like everything I have in the morning before I got to class; I added coffee grinds and vanilla extract. What is the difference between macrobrewing products and microbrewing? The difference is how many barrels they brew per year and their target consumers. Macrobrewed beers are made in mass quantities and don’t look to find different flavors. They aim to make the same product for the same person every time the beer is brewed, unlike a craft brewery where every bottle is different. Microbreweries operate at a much smaller level, creating diversity within each batch. The first beer can be different from the hundredth beer. How has craft brewing helped local bars? Because the beer is specific to each brew pub, it creates a rarity and quality that people are looking for. For example, Oberon is only distributed in a certain area bringing consumers and (economic growth) to that specific area. People make brew tours around Michigan. What are your plans for the future? I want to open a tap room and also distribute locally and build my brand into something that people are familiar with. I don’t know where it is going to take me (geographically). Wherever I am within the next three years is where the ground floor will be. Michigan is a great place to open a microbrewery because we are one of the few states that has (proper self-distribution laws).

DISCRIMINATION

for another

A

RFRA was a federal bill signed into law in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, intended to block a law’s ability to burden a person’s exercise of religion, unless it is acting on a “compelling government interest.” Supporters of the law say this protects people and businesses from engaging in things against their religion. Indiana became the 31st state to pass a version of the bill. We believe this law provides the opportunity for businesses to discriminate against the LGBT community. More than half of the student fans at the NCAA Final Four Championship held in Indianapolis over the weekend wore rainbow flags to show solidarity with the LGBT community. Mount Pleasant city government has made an effort to protect LGBTQ residents by ammending the city code. An ordinance signed in 2012 protects sexual orientation and gender identity from discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodation and the enforcement of law. Gov. Rick Snyder has said he would veto RFRA legislation without first adapting the ElliotLarsen Civil Rights act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of “religion, race, color,

national origin, age, sex, height, weight, familial status, or marital status” to be more inclusive. We urge Michigan lawmakers to expand the act if they are serious about bringing RFRA to our state. While interacting with members of the LGBT community may make those of certain religions uncomfortable, it will not compare to the adversity LGBT people have to experience in their lives, in a society that forces humans to fit into a specific criteria to be fully accepted. Freedom of religion is expressed in the First Amendment, not the freedom to oppress or discriminate marginalized groups. That is not the kind of freedom lawmakers should be advocating for. To deny a person housing, employment or service in a restaurant based on sexual orientation conjures segregationist tactics. The Civil Rights Movement may have happened 50 years ago, but the progression of religious freedom legislation shows is it is far from over. We live in a country where everyone should be treated equally. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom to discriminate. It’s time for lawmakers to get on the right side of history.

Greek Week chapter pairings released By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter

Greek Week is an annual tradition where CMU’s fraternities, sororities and multicultural fraternities team up into groups—one chapter from each category.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon/ Phi Sigma Sigma/ Omega Psi Phi Claire Abendroth | Staff Photographer Dr. Adhikari’s class Armed Conflict, Forced Migration, and Conflict Resolution collected 220 items for Refugees.

toll | continued from 1a “I wanted to find out what makes these people stay,” he said. “Are they not afraid of death? What is keeping them? That is what got me into studying refugees.” Using a random sample, with the assistance of the Informal Sector Service Center, an organization dedicated to documenting human rights violations in the region, he began finding the first of an eventual 1,808 names of persons affected by the war in Nepal. Using his research grant, Adhikari hired 70 Nepalese “enumerators” to aid in his efforts. Despite his manpower, he trekked across the economic and topographical regions to interview nearly 300 of the persons himself. Adhikari approached those living in refugee camps and those remaining in their home villages carrying a 54-page questionnaire, looking for answers.

CONNECTIONS TO HOME

In his research, he confirmed that the fear of death is the number one motivator, but the destruction of resources was also a major motivator of forced migrants. “In a war, people are losing property, their homes, their jobs and when you lose all of that, people flee,” he said. “The viability of those economic possibilities, even if there is war, if you still have employment and still can make a living, then people stay. But more importantly, during conflict people come

Additionally, $79,165 was spent on equipment and supplies, which included bowl game apparel, transporting equipment and new sideline headsets, which had to be replaced due to signal issues. The remaining $19,117 went to administrative costs, outside services and professional fees. Senior Associate Athletic Director of Internal Operations Brad Wachler said because a bowl game appearance is never guaranteed, the Athletics Department does not budget for one. Instead, those costs are covered by the University’s operating budget.

up with different strategies of coping with war. One of those I found in my research, when you have strong community bonds, a dense social network that connects people to each other through various means.” Adhikari found people are drawn together during times of war, and those with connections in their home town are more likely to remain behind, even if that means risking death. This search for answers once took Adhikari into the northern mountains of Nepal. After three days, he arrived at a village that had been frequented by both military and rebel forces. The man he was searching out for his research had been ordered to leave numerous times by both sides, but had remained nonetheless. The man, who was described by Adhikari as a pillar of his community, had stayed with his people despite accusations of treason and thinly veiled threats. Adhikari stayed as a guest in his house for a week before presenting him with the questionnaire. “It is helpful to know the culture,” Adhikari said. “If I had been an American, I might have asked him immediately and left when he said ‘no.’ But I stayed with him, was honest about my work, and ended up speaking with him later.” The man never abandoned his village, and still lives there today. The two became friends and have remained in contact since Adhikari’s research in the region concluded. Adhikari had run-ins with both sides of the conflict during his research. On one occasion,

he traveled with a representative from INSEC to take photographs of a Maoist rebel training camp in West Nepal. To his surprise, he found the rebels were open to him taking photographs on the condition that he did not release them to the media. “They told me, ‘go take them,’” he said. “’But don’t give them to journalists or you know the consequence.’” He found that by not passing judgment and being forthcoming with his goals, he was able to negotiate with both sides. While sometimes terrifying, the experiences added to his understanding of the conflict. “War changes the way people interact with one another,” Adhikari said. “If there were two friends, and one joined the insurgents and one joined the army, each probably killed members of the other’s family. Now that the war is over, people can’t be the same after that.” Adhikari described the years he spent working in Nepal as “moving.” His experiences greatly helped him understand the plight of displaced persons everywhere. He prefers the term “displaced people” when describing those who have been forcibly migrated by conflict, as this is a more apt descriptor than the term refugee, which only refers to those who have fled a country entirely. Adhikari is thankful the conflict did not claim the lives of any of his family members. The Taplejung district still carries fond memories for Adhikari. He doesn’t doubt that the persisting snows and the reaching mountains of his family’s home will someday call him back.

Vice President of Finances and Administrative Services Barrie Wilkes said bowl game expenses are paid for by surplus funds in the operating budget. “We don’t have a bowl game fund because the cost is variable and we don’t know if and where we are going to go,” Wilkes said. “At the end of the year we take (bowl game expenses) out of year-end funds when we are balancing the books. If athletics had a surplus I would argue that they should cover it. Athletics historically doesn’t have the money to cover it.” Wachler said the MAC allocation is vital to being able to afford expenses that come with post-season play. He said the conference has made an effort to provide universities more resources to travel. “This is pretty common across the country. Every bowl game has some kind of alloca-

tion provided to the teams,” Wachler said. “When you look at the bowl game in general, especially going to the Bahamas the day before Christmas, I think we made out pretty good in what our overall net expense was.” Overall, Wachler said CMU benefitted from the exposure it received despite the loss, especially because of the dramatic final play, in which the senior wide receiver Titus Davis scored on an improbable Hail Mary touchdown pass that punctuated a fourth quarter comeback. The Chippewas missed a two-point conversion and lost to Western Kentucky 49-48. “That is the value and power of athletics, to get that national attention and national exposure,” Wachler said. “We were the game to watch on ESPN. We were lucky to with the way the game played out.”

Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

enior catcher Tyler Huntey has played all 32 games this season, starting 31 of them. He played all 34 innings over the weekend against the University of Toledo, including transitioning to the outfield for the final inning of Sunday’s win and making a diving grab to end the game. While most catchers take a game off every weekend, or at least a few innings during a blowout, Huntey keeps going. Huntey has only been a starter the last two seasons. He maintains a batting average of .217. His defense, stamina and communication skills helped him develop into a leader. “Behind the plate you want a leader,” said junior outfielder Logan Regnier. “You want someone who’s going to take charge of the game. Tyler does just about as good a job as anyone.” He’s below average in terms of batting average, but ranks in the top three on the team in doubles, five, home runs, two and runs batted in, 17. On the defensive side, his arm is almost as valuable as his pitcher’s. “He’s unreal,” said junior pitcher

Jason Gamble. “Nobody tries to steal on him. As a pitcher, that’s the greatest thing in the world. Just knowing that you don’t have to make the perfect pitch for him to throw (the runner) out, he’s going to throw him out no matter what, it’s a great feeling.” Of the 42 runners that have attempted to steal a base against him, he’s thrown out 21 of them. Gamble said Huntey works well with pitchers, keeping them calm through rough spots. “He puts emphasis on you personally, not just emphasis on the whole pitching staff,” Gamble said. w Catching | 4B

Baseball defeats Toledo 14-1 on Sunday, wins two of three on the weekend By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University baseball took two of three games at Toledo this weekend, moving to 20-12 on the season and 7-2 in the conference. The Chippewas outhit the Rockets 33-23 while outscoring UT 26-10 over the weekend. Senior second baseman Pat MacKenzie led the Chippewas with six hits and four runs, while junior outfielder Ryan Heeke finished the weekend with four hits. “Pat (MacKenzie) is one of our fifth year guys and he needs to be the leader day-in-day-out and he was that,” said Head Coach Steve Jaksa. “It was a pleasure to see that kind of leadership out of him.”

Sunday

This was one of the Chippewas’ better offensive performances scor-

ing 14 runs on 13 hits. “It was a very well-rounded day from our pitching to the way we swung the bat,” Jaksa said.“I was proud of the guys’ effort. We played flawless defense and you can’t really ask for much more than that.” Borglin led the team with three hits while junior outfielder Ryan Heeke finished with three RBI’s. MacKenzie scored three runs, leading the Chippewas. Borglin doubled to right center in the first inning, which was followed by a single off the bat of MacKenzie. Freshman outfielder Daniel Jipping reached first base on a fielding error, which scored Borglin from third base giving CMU the early 1-0 lead after one inning. Junior pitcher Adam Aldred started for the Chippewas. Aldred threw seven innings allowing one run on four hits. He struck out a season high eight batters. w Baseball | 4B

Softball wins three of four on weekend road trip against Ohio, Akron By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

With a 4-3 loss at the hands of the University of Akron Zips, Central Michigan University’s softball team saw its winning streak end at five games Sunday. CMU’s record drops to 13-16 overall and they currently sit at .500 in Mid-American Conference play with a 3-3 record. “We made some key mistakes defensively on some balls that we should’ve been able to make the plays on,” said Head Coach Margo Jonker. “We did hit more than yesterday, so that was a positive.” One day after pitching a complete-game shutout, senior Rachael Knapp was in the circle once again but, even with the backing of some offense, was handed the loss. In the loss to the Zips, Knapp went three innings, giving up two earned runs while walking one and striking out four batters. “(Akron) made adjustments to what our pitchers were throwing,” Jonker said. “You pitch to what the umpire’s strike zone is, too, so it was a combination of both.” The two teams traded runs in the first inning before Akron claimed a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the second. CMU tied the ballgame 3-3 in the top half of the fourth inning on a solo homerun by junior second baseman Chelsea DeLamielleur, and a double to right field by freshman third baseman Maison Kalina. DeLamielleur and Kalina both went 1-for-3 in the loss. Junior first baseman Katelyn Rentschler continued to swing, going 2-for-3 in the cleanup spot for CMU. She was the only Chippewa to record more than a single hit in the afternoon. “This weekend, (Rentschler) definitely was the hottest hitter in our lineup,” Jonker said. “She had a really good weekend offensively and she’s really turned the corner with every part of her game so I’m happy for her.” As a team, the Chippewas went 1-for-9 with runners on base and also went 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Jonker’s team will play at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday in a double header against the Oakland Univer-

sity Golden Grizzlies at the Oakland Softball Field.

Saturday

Knapp continued her strong season in the circle as she led CMU to a 1-0 victory against Akron on Saturday. Going the distance to earn the win, Knapp struck out 10 batters, walking only one. The St. Joseph native is 9-5 this season. Her nine wins lead CMU’s pitching staff. Despite Knapp’s solid complete-game outing, Jonker said it was not her best of the season. “Rachael had a great performance today,” Jonker said. “When she came in relief against Detroit, that was probably the best she’s thrown all year. But today she did a really good job.” Knapp was able to earn the win, throwing 108 pitches. After compiling 23 total hits in two games against the Ohio University Bobcats on Friday afternoon, the Chippewas offense was able to muster up a single hit Saturday. One run in the top of the first inning was all CMU would need to secure a victory against the Zips. Freshman left fielder Lacy Tolfree scored the lone run for the Chippewas after reaching base on a walk in the top of the sixth inning. Tolfree proceeded to steal

her 16th base of the season, advanced to third on a fielder’s choice and scored on a sacrifice fly to right field by Rentschler. “Akron’s pitcher was on today and Rachael was on today. “Both pitchers did a great job,” Jonker said. “It was a great defensive game today compared to a great offensive day yesterday. That’s fast-pitch softball — things change.” Tolfree supplied the lone hit of the afternoon for CMU on a two-out double down the left-field line.

Friday

On Friday afternoon the Chippewas swept away the Ohio University Bobcats in a double header on the road by scores of 8-1 and 14-3, respectively. CMU got off to a quick start offensively against OU, scoring four runs off of three home runs in the top of the first inning. Supplying the power were senior shortstop Trista Cox and DeLamielleure. Maison Kalina also homered in the sixth inning of game one. “We try to score early, score first and score more often in every game,” Jonker said. “That’s the mentality that we take into the game. Obviously, we’ve been very successful in doing that the past four games, and we need to continue doing that.”

Softball’s Knapp proving to be team’s most valuable player As the Central Michigan University softball team enters the meat of its conference schedule, one player has separated herself from the rest. Sophomore pitcher Rachael Knapp has proven she is possibly the Chippewas’ most important player. Knapp is the most experienced pitcher on the staff even though she is only a sophomore. She is joined by two freshmen and senior outfielder Kristen Kuhlman, who has only been called in to pitch once this season. Knapp has pitched 104.2 of the 190 innings the team has played this season,

which is good enough for 55 percent of the pitching load. The second-most used pitcher is freshman Hanna Warren, who has worked through 51 innings. This season Knapp has posted 11 complete games including five shutouts. Knapp gave up only 21 hits in these games, showing her dominance in the circle. Knapp has also been very strong in relief. She has earned the team’s only save of the season when she came in during the fifth inning of a game against Detroit. Knapp pitched three hitless innings against Detroit, striking out nine of the 10

batters she faced. Despite pitching more than half of her team’s innings, Knapp has allowed 48 runs, which is only five more than Warren. The 5-7 St. Joseph native ranks near the top of the Mid-American Conference with a 2.06 earned run average and in opponent batting average with .201. Knapp doesn’t allow a lot of contact and knows how to blow past batters. She has 117 strikeouts this season, while the next closest pitcher on the team has 19. One of the few problems Knapp has had this year is walking batters. She has

Knapp went all seven innings, striking out six while giving up three hits in the game one defeat of OU. In the nightcap of the double header, CMU’s offense continued to be too much for the Bobcats to handle, as the women cruised to another win over their Mid-American Conference opponent. The Chippewa’s offense was spearheaded by the efforts of Rentschler, who set a school record by hitting three home runs in game two. She hit a solo home run in the second inning, a tworun homer in the third and followed that up by hitting a three-run shot in the fourth. When it was all said and done Rentschler contributed with six RBIs in the victory. “Rentschler was on a tear today,” Jonker said. “Three homer runs in one game is special for her and for us. I think that the best part is that everybody was seeing the ball well at the plate. It was fun for all of the players and the coaches.” In total Jonker’s team tallied 23 hits in their road sweep of the Bobcats. “The offense for us gets most of the credit today. The pitching did what it had to do to get the job done,” Jonker said. “We try to make sure our opponents don’t score more than three runs a game, and we were successful in accomplishing that.”

Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

dished out 49 of the team’s 81 walks. Maybe the most convincing statistic is Knapp’s record this season. She has won nine games this season and lost six. The other three players who have pitched this season are a combined 4-10. As the Chippewas continue to grow closer to .500 on the season, Knapp will need to continue to give her team quality outings. If the most resent stretch of games is any sign of how she will be pitching in conference play, CMU will be in good hands when she is inside the circle.

Gymnastics comes one spot short of National Championship berth Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

No. 21 Central Michigan University gymnastics fell short of its dream of a NCAA National Championship bid, finishing third behind No. 7 University of California Los Angeles and No. 6 University of Michigan Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. Despite losing, the Chippewas competed well in most events, especially floor. CMU started off on floor with a 49.25 highlighted by another 9.9 from senior Halle Moraw. “Overall, (this was) not the outcome we wanted, but we had a great season and I am proud of all the girls and everything we accomplished,” said senior Tori Garcia. Head Coach Jerry Reighard’s goal for each event was a 49.25, which the team only hit on its first event. Following floor, CMU headed to vault where they scored a 49.075, highlighted by Junior Karlee Teet’s 9.85. Although the score wasn’t what was hoped for, it was the third-best overall vaulting score of the season. The maroon and gold knew they needed a nearly perfect routine on their final event, the balance beam, from just about every gymnast for the championship dreams to come true. Beam determines the winners of gymnastics meets in any close matchup. The beam inconsistency — a common theme throughout the season — continued, as CMU scored a 48.55. “I am very proud of the team,” Reighard said. “We had two routines on beam that hurt us, had we hit one or even both it wouldn’t have helped our standings, but it certainly would help our national standings.” UCLA’s beam routine won the meet for the Bruins with a 49.55, decorated with three 9.95’s and two 9.9’s. The top two teams from the six-team regional advanced, UCLA and U of M, had a large lead over the rest of the teams going into the final event.

“When we got on beam I knew perfectly well where we were at and I went up and told them they had a great career and gave them a hug,” Reighard said. The 197 Reighard and his squad aimed for would have tied U of M for the second spot. The Chippewas managed to knock off No. 18 University of Arizona in their attempt at making the top two, outscoring the Wildcats 195.925-195.8, while defeating Ohio State University for the second time in four years at their own arena. “It’s a really a big part for our program in the direction I am trying to get it to go,” Reighard said. “To beat Arizona and the Ohio State University is a milestone. It’s one of those stories that we really work hard to accomplish.” For the Super Six, they finished their final meet with strong scores: “I think we did great, we went out there, did what we needed to do and showed the nation what CMU Gymnastics is made of. We made a great name for ourselves,” said senior Kylie Fagan. The maroon and gold finish their 2015 campaign with an overall record of 20-7 through regular and postseason meets.

In the sixth inning junior first baseman Zack Fields scored on a Borglin single pushing the lead to 6-1. After scoring the sixth run of the game Fields drove in two more runs for CMU in the seventh inning with a single to left field. It was an 8-1 CMU lead. The lead stretched to nine — 10-1 — in the eighth inning. Bradley scored on a sacrifice bunt by MacKenzie who reached base on an error. MacKenzie would score later in the inning on a wild pitch. Offensively, the Chippewas continued to tack on runs in the ninth inning. Heeke hit a three-run home run, which was followed by a Huntey sacrifice fly scoring junior infielder Morgan Oliver. “We talked to the team a little bit Saturday night and we came out today (Sunday) and played hard,” Jaksa said.

Like father, like son

Huntey said the reason he’s a catcher and the reason he’s a Chippewa is because of his father. His father Clark was inducted into CMU Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014 and won three Mid-American Conference Championships. “When you grow up when your dad played here—he was successful here and he won a lot of championships—growing up that’s just one of the coolest things that he can be to you and somebody you really look up to,” Huntey said. “I really like being involved in the game all the time, and obviously my dad was a catcher, which is another reason that motivated me.” Clark was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 32nd round of the MLB draft in 1989. He played with the Pocatello Giants in the Pioneer League that season. “I had a chance to introduce him when he was

“(Adam Aldred) was able to take control and throw seven strong innings. It was very timely for us and good to see,” Jaksa said.“He threw over 100 pitches so we knew it was time to get him out.” Jaksa said his team came out and played well following the tough loss Saturday night knowing they could take the series. “Sundays generally for us are ‘championship Sundays’ because most times you can win the series or sweep the series,” Jaksa said. “Our guys responded very well today after a tough loss.” Borglin doubled to left field with one out before MacKenzie tripled scoring Borglin from second bringing the score to 2-0 CMU. A two-out single from Jipping scored MacKenzie, which was followed by a double from junior third baseman Joe Houlihan which scored Jipping. The lead was 4-0 Chippewas after the third inning. UT scored its first run of the game in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly to right field. Houlihan hit a solo home run in the fifth inning, his second of the season, in the fifth inning making it a 5-1 CMU lead.

The Chippewas took a 7-0 lead after five innings, with all seven runs being unearned. Three walks, two errors, one hit and a passed ball allowed CMU to score its first three runs of the game in the third inning. Toledo bounced back with two unearned runs in the sixth inning, but would still fall Friday 9-5. “I thought maybe we lost a little bit of intensity when we got up 8-0,” Jaksa said. “The weather might’ve had a hair to do with it, but I hate to use that (excuse).” Sophomore pitcher Nick Deeg (5-2, 1.73 ERA) earned the win, throwing for seven innings while allowing one earned run, three runs and five hits while striking out seven batters. Junior outfielder Logan Regnier led the Chippewas with three hits and two RBI’s including a double. Senior catcher Tyler Huntey and sophomore outfielder Alex Borglin both tripled and combined for five runs.

After the Chippewas battled back in the ninth inning to tie the game 3-3 on a UT throwing error, the offenses of both teams sputtered. Each team left 12 men on base. The Rockets loaded the bases with one out in the 15th and 16th innings and finally cashed in with an infield single. Senior pitcher Tim Black (2-1, 3.57 ERA) attempted

Club dodgeball looks to repeat history at NCDA Nationals this weekend Leski said the No. 4 Maryland Terrapins pose a tough task. If CMU can get through pool play he thinks they can earn a good seed for Sunday’s tournament. “We really have to worry about Maryland, and if everything goes right hopefully we’ll see Grand Valley in the championship,” Leski said. Lowell sophomore Tyler Prill is participating in his second nationals. He said the practices leading up to nationals have been rigorous, with captains Macomb senior Wes Peters and NCDA “Baller of the Month” for March Saint Clair senior Brett Hadwin heightening the workouts. “It has definitely been more intense,” Prill said. “The captains have been on our tails a bit more than usual. There’s a lot more determination and focus in practice. We’re speeding things up more than what we’ve used to.” It has been two weeks since CMU last played in an actual competition. After sweeping Michigan State University, GVSU, James Madison University and Saginaw Valley State University, Prill said the long layoff has helped the team. “I think it’s been beneficial that we’ve had a couple weeks off, simply because it helps us focus in practice and the weekends really help us rest our arms and rest our bodies,” Prill said. “I think it has benefitted us as a team. It allows us to have some relaxation and get ready for the tournament.” CMU will have to win four games on Sunday to take the championship and could possibly have to play seven games in two days. Leski said he is look-

The Central Michigan University club dodgeball team took home its first and only National Collegiate Dodgeball Association Championship four years ago. The Chippewas hope history will repeat itself next weekend. CMU will travel to Bowling Green, Ky. this weekend to take part in the NCDA Nationals April 11-12 at Western Kentucky University. Okemos senior Jacob Leski said he is excited to travel to his third national championship as a member of the team. “This year we have a chance of winning it,” Leski said. “In years past, we didn’t stand a chance and we weren’t very good. This year we’ve got a good squad and I’m pretty confident we can take it all. The competition is pretty close so it’ll be a lot of fun. I think there will be a lot of upsets and it will be a pretty good time.” CMU sits at 25-8, only losing to Grand Valley State University since September. The Chippewas knocked off GVSU at the CMU Showdown on March 21, putting an end to the Lakers’ undefeated season and giving CMU their first win over the Allendale school this season. CMU expects to see the Lakers on Sunday of the twoday tournament. Saturday consists of round-robin play, with the Chippewas set to face the University of Maryland, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Kent State University.

ing forward to the camaraderie in his final dodgeball event with the Chippewas. “You’re surrounded by your team for three long days,” Leski said. “You get to see everybody there and we have a fun time playing the sport we love.” CMU will leave Mount Pleasant 8 a.m. Friday as the No. 2 seed in the NCDA. They hope to return as the No. 1 seed. Leski said he hopes his team can “shock the world” and give the university its first national championship in four seasons. Prill echoed his teammate. He said the Chippewas can claim the NCDA title. “I think if we go out and play with a level-head like we did at the CMU Showdown, we can sweep away,” Prill said. “It won’t be easy, but I think we can definitely pull it off.”
