Future of style By Jordan Price Staff Reporter @j_price01 | news@cm-life.com

fter a year of planning and hard work, models will walk down the runway at Threads Fashion Show wearing clothing collections designed by students in the Fashion Merchandising and Design program.

The annual fashion show gives students an opportunity to showcase their design and event planning talents on the runway. The 18th annual Threads Fashion Show will start at 6 p.m. on April 23 in Finch Fieldhouse. General admission tickets can be purchased for $10 and VIP access tickets are $50 through Ticket Central. A VIP reception will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the Bovee University Center Rotunda on the

day of the show for those who purchase a $50 VIP ticket. Between 600 and 1,000 people are expected to attend to the studentrun fashion show, said Fashion Merchandising and Design program Professor Ian Mull. “We want everyone to experience Threads. There are so many talented individuals who are designing for Threads, day and night, spending all of their hours

“

Next year, I plan to get even more involved with Threads. I just want to keep taking it to the next level.

Annual Threads Fashion Show to bring student designs, models to runway

Amy Cain

Mounted Exhibition Director

Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com y April 21, 2016 putting their collections together,” said Mounted Exhibition Director Amy Cain. “That’s why everyone should attend — to show that fashion is more than just fun. It’s hard work.” Since May 2015, Professor Ian Mull and student producers Alexis Quinney, Emily Ribant and Kelsey Lancina have been working around the clock to make Threads possible. Students studying fashion, event planning and art and design also helped with the process. This is Ribant’s second year designing for Threads. “The preparation experience is different depending on the time, but overall everything has been going smoothly,” said the Flushing senior. Student producer applications were provided in April, a year before the event. Once producers were interviewed and selected, the three started working on tasks over the summer to get a head start on planning. There are eight committees of five to seven students working for Threads this year: events, venue, public relations, mounted exhibition, submissions, budget and logistics, hospitality and modeling. Committees are led by a student director and overseen by one of the three student producers. Once the Threads production class — FMD 357 — starts in the spring, students are matched accordingly to committees based on their preferences. To be selected to showcase a collection on the runway, designers submitted their garments April 8. The following day, a panel of judges composed of faculty and fashion icons decided which pieces will be worn in the show. Designers had 60 seconds to explain their artistic vision for their collection and used 10 minutes to examine if it meets the certain criteria. There is not a specific number of designers chosen to be featured in Threads — if a student meets the standard of construction and inspiration, they are selected. The work of 31 designers made it into the show this year. Awards are also chosen on judging day, such as best womens-wear, best menswear and best in show. Designers who are honored with these awards and receive cash prizes as a small “refund” since they pay for their own material.

Students in the Fashion Merchandising and Design program are dedicated to the production of the event that will take place on Saturday, April 23. This will be the Portage junior’s third

and final year participating in the show, because he plans to graduate in the fall. Last year, Stoner was a producer for Threads and walked away with “Best in Show” for a menswear collection he described as “street-style clubbing.” Stoner shared his insight on studying fashion merchandising and design, creating clothing collections for Threads and his style

Models stress importance of diversity on runway By Deshia Dunn Staff Reporter @Daedae_Dunn | news@cm-life.com

Each year, between 60 and 110 students audition to be models in the Threads Fashion Show. The models wear clothing designed by fashion merchandising and design students in Threads Fashion Show — an annual show put on completely by students. The show is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. on April 23 in Finch Fieldhouse. Hazel Pacion has been the model director for Threads for the last three years. She said auditions this year had a turn-out of more than 100 models on both days — which resulted in an influx of diversity in size, shape, race and overall appearance within the chosen group of models that hasn’t been present on the same scale in previous shows. “We have every (body type),” Pacion said. “You name it, we probably have it, and that’s kind of what we look for in Threads.” In the previous show, designers had a fixed size of garments models needed to accommodate. This year, designers were allowed to choose which models would wear their clothes. Some models have specific appearances designers thought would compliment their garments. Grand Rapids sophomore Angelia Bennett said the models in the fashion show represent CMU’s campus population as a whole. She said people outside of campus who attend the fashion show should accurately see what the student body looks like. “If you only see one type of (Threads model), then that’s who you’re going to have in your head of what Central is,” Bennett said. Pacion said diversity in the Threads Fashion Show models is important because she wants it to be a representation of the entire campus, not just the fashion program. “We want everybody who can to get involved because it helps spread the word (about Threads) through their community or part of campus they’re a part of,” Pacion said. Southfield sophomore Aaqilah Abdur-Rasheed said she likes how Threads is “mixing it up” in terms of the diversity of models in the show. “I think it’s really important for people’s self esteem (if there is diversity at Threads),” AbdurRasheed said. “Who wants to look at a fashion show full of white, skinny girls on stage?” Harrison Township junior Taylor Zielke

said although the focus of the show is to showcase garments by student designers, the student models represents the student body because Threads is a campus event. “I understand that consistency in the (appearance of ) models is going to bring more attention to the clothes, but at the same time it’s a campus event. I think it’s cooler there’s a bunch of models of different races, weight or hair color. If it’s going to be an on-campus event, diversity is part of it.” Trenton sophomore Michele Renaud said the fashion show is strictly meant to show off the designer’s clothing, but anyone has the ability to fulfill that role. “The models aren’t there to show off themselves. They’re there to show off what the designers made,” Renaud said. “I think really anybody can do that no matter what your body shape, skin tone or hair color is. It’s not just white designers with white models and skinny figures. We’re all completely different.” She said she also likes the fact that the fashion show features men as models as well. Renaud said her designer chose her to model because the clothing collection portrays a contrast being between sweet and dark. “We have two women who are more feminine, prettier (models), (who convey) innocence,” Renaud said. “Meg and I are the more alternative models because we have tattoos. Meg has a shaved head, and I have my nose piercing, and (my designer) wanted that (contrast).” Bennett said her designer was looking for a very specific type of model to wear garments alongside her. “He asked us to look out for a tall, slim girl with small boobs and long red hair,” Bennett said. Abdur-Rasheed said her designer chose her because she thought her curly hair would go well with her clothing. With the models, Pacion said the designers try to work with them as much as possible. Some girls have no preference for hair and makeup styles, Pacion said. Others can be picky. Overall, the designers try their best to make their models feel comfortable in how they appear. “I would never want to put a girl in a styling chair and have her hate her hair and start crying about it,” Pacion said. “I know we have a couple girls who don’t put any heat treatment on their hair, and we want to respect that by not having them curl their hair, or straightening it.”

Students bring international style to campus By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter @paige_sheff | news@cm-life.com

Mary Lewandowski | Staff Photographer Bangladesh graduate student Shuvo Kumar Kundu poses for a picture on April 16 at Finch Fieldhouse.

Wearing a plaid button-up shirt, jeans and a backwards baseball cap, India graduate student Krishna Mehta said the hat is one of the new additions to his wardrobe since coming to the United States. Some international students said Western trends have become popular for young people in their native countries. Mehta, who is studying fashion merchandising, said his home on the west coast of India generally follows Western styles. He one day aspires to start a brand that combines Western styles with Indian styles to create a new look. In Bangladesh — home to graduate student Shuvo Kundu — people generally don’t pay as much attention to fashion, particularly in villages. Still, Kundu said young people in cities are following Western trends. “Nowadays, men are wearing mostly pants,” Kundu said. “Young men are using shirts and jeans.” Kundu said saris are the traditional dress for women in Bangladesh. Some women wear burkas and some women wear a niqab, which is the Bengali term for hijab and covers their hair. “There’s no stitch on (a sari), (women) just wrap it around their bodies,” Kundu said. “There are a lot of saris in my country from cheap to very expensive, very artistic.” Kundu is a fashion merchandising major and wants to create his own ethical brand that doesn’t use cheap labor. Fast fashion, he said, is bad for people in Bangladesh and other countries because laborers receive little money for the clothing they make. Islam is the prominent religion in Indonesia, so most women wear a jilbab, which is the Indonesian term for what many people know as a hijab, said graduate student

Imas Istiani. Some women also wear gamis, which are long gowns that cover their bodies. “I wear casual clothing but some Muslims want to cover all of their body, for their body parts aren’t shown,” Istiani said. “If I’m wearing jeans, you can see the shape of my legs. If they don’t want the shape of their legs or other body parts shown, they wear gamis.” In Indonesia, people dress up more on campus and wear more colorful clothes in general. Otherwise, though, Istiani said there’s not much difference between the style in Indonesia and the U.S. for young people. Indonesia has 30 tribes that each have their own traditional clothes, she said. However, because Java Island is the most populated island, the traditional clothing worn by people there, called “ke-

baya,” is considered the traditional clothing in Indonesia. She said kebaya is mostly worn for special occasions, such as weddings. Clothing in India varies, Mehta said, because India is a diverse country with 29 states, hundreds of languages and many religions. Hindu women might wear a bindi, which is a dot in the center of the forehead. In the region he’s from, Mehta said men might wear a traditional top with jeans. He said a big difference between Indian fashion and American fashion is that in Hindu culture, white is typically worn for funerals, while in American culture, white is worn for weddings. Indian graduate student Vyuha Chalasani said saris are the traditional clothing for women in India, and dhoti and kurta are the traditional clothing for men. The way

the clothing is draped depends on the state, she said. She’s from South India and said young women there prefer wearing punjabi suits, which include tops that go to the knee and loose pants, instead of saris. China senior Yukun Wang said people in China might sometimes wear a small symbol or the color red, which is the national color, but on a day-to-day basis, young people dress similar to Americans. Daniel Chen, a freshman from China, said it’s common for people to wear holes in their jeans and for men to roll up their jeans. “The styles in China are not as casual as they are here in America,” he said. “But mostly, we share the same styles as there are so many American clothes brands in China and we love it. There are actually more things in common now than differences.”

from lighting and staging to decor and music. “You get big perks if you purchase a VIP ticket: priority seating in first or second row, pre-show reception in the Bovee University Center Rotunda with a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, music, a keynote speaker and free goodie bags on the chairs. It’s a very classy affair,” Sirois, the Marquette senior said. This year’s theme is “fashion lab,” which pertains to the venue and decorations at the event, but will not necessarily be reflected in the clothing designed for the show. The entire show costs about $20,000 to host. Fashion Merchandising and Design faculty sponsored several of the student awards. The rest of the event was funded through the Threads public relations and sponsorship committee. This year, students reached out to businesses to get assistance with corporate sponsorship. In exchange, these businesses receive VIP packages and advertisement at Threads. Foster, Swift, Collins & Smith law firm and Scott Harris Salon have been this year’s sponsors in monetary donations and resources. “My long term goal is to find corporate sponsors to pay for Threads so we can use our ticket sales to start a scholarship fund for students,” Mull said. “We’re going to keep looking until we find that perfect match: someone who believes in the program, believes in the students’ work, and who would be willing to underwrite it.” The budget includes venue cost, decoration, lighting and program bulletins. The budgeting and logistics committee, led by student director

APRIL 21, 2016 y Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com Makenzie McFadden, who is in charge of keeping track of where the show is financially. “Our biggest income is from the ticket sales, so we were in charge of designing the tickets, getting them printed and ready to be sold,” said the Grand Rapids senior. “I’d say that the beginning of April really hit everyone, and now we’re all working hard to get the last minute touches handled.” The students have also had help from fundraisers such as resales, an informative Walk-in Heels event and Painting with a Twist. Different classes are a part of Threads as well. IND 331 handles the VIP reception while a food and nutrition course caters the event. Two groups in RPL 430 also chose Threads as their charity to raise money for the event. To make Finch Fieldhouse a presentable venue for the show, the Mounted Exhibition committee will display everything from art and photography to 3D printing and CAD projects for audience members to look at. Students involved in the mounted exhibit were selected by faculty if their artwork met a certain criteria. Cain used Adobe Illustrator to make a mock-up design for the showcase. “I’ve grown a lot since last year when I got the job. Next year, I plan to get even more involved with Threads while designing another collection,” said the Detroit senior. “I just want to keep taking it to the next level.” After succeeding Michael Mamp, Ian Mull has enjoyed his first year as the adviser. Though he has been involved with Threads for four years and has put on many fashion shows before, he said nothing has compared to his experiences planning the show this year. “I think our students are amazing. I look at what they

have accomplished since May 2015 — this show is them.” Mull said he has enjoyed working with students through the whole planning process. “Our adviser, Ian, has been really great working with us for his first year. He is really passionate about the show which makes it that much more fun,” Lancina said. Char Glover, a Detroit designer on “America’s Next Top Model,” was a part of the judging panel that decided which garments will appear on the runway. Glover will also speak to audience members at the VIP reception. The College of Education and Human Services sponsored having Glover as a judge. Students worked hard to connect with Glover, Mull said, because they wanted a celebrity that knows the setbacks that Michigan designers face as they try to make their break in a state that is not normally considered fashion-forward.

t’s the 1980s and the fashion is all about at-the-knee “miniskirts” and “high energy hair” according to a March 28 edition of Central Michigan Life. During this time, the paper believed “one-piece swimsuits” with “predominant solid colors or black and white color schemes” would be popular at the beach in 1984. Combine that with blowout perms, corduroys with leather jackets and some “new wave” sunglasses and you could be considered the best dressed on campus — but maybe don’t wear them all at the same time. Belted safari shorts with polo shirts for guys were also considered “in” for the era, much like they are today.

Earth Day highlights importance of environmental sustainability

ecycle this newspaper after you finish reading it. You will be making the earth a healthier place to live. In his book “The Tipping Point,” author Malcolm Gladwell explained how a few little things can make a big difference. This message is appropriate when applied to the greater question of global sustainability and mankind’s role in protecting our natural resources. As Gladwell explained, all it takes is the influence of a small yet wellrespected group of individuals to act as a catalyst for tangible change. He calls this the “power of the few.” We believe world leaders should reflect on this power — granted to them by their constituencies — and use it to foster a cleaner and more efficient human race. Wisconsin State Sen. Gaylord Nelson n created Earth Day in 1970. Since then, environmental activists have used this day to spread awareness for what can be better done to lengthen the life expectancy of the human race. Make no mistake about it. This is a question of awareness and motivation. Just as Gladwell outlined, change can only occur when the most influential individuals make global sustainability a priority. We must demand this from world leaders. During the film “The Last Call” — which was dedicated to the authoring of the famous book on global sustainability “The Limits to Growth” — one ecologist posed a simple yet profound question. “If we knew the earth was going to end in 30 days, would we act before the 29th day?” he asked. The answer should be yes. While it is critical our leaders legislate with global sustainability

EDitorial in mind, it will always fall on each individual person to do thier part to keep the earth healthy. According to earthday.org, here are some of the best ways you can do your part to create a more sustainable earth. Urge your local elected officials to make a substantial tree planting commitment by starting a letter-writing campaign or online petition. Urge businesses to make a substantial tree planting commitment by starting a letter-writing campaign or online petition. Lead a recycling drive to collect as much plastic, metal, and glass as possible. Pick up trash at a local park or beach. Invite an expert, such as a professor or a forester, to educate your community about climate change, the importance of trees, and about how to reduce your carbon footprint. Set up a screening of an environmentally-themed movie. Consider supplementing the screening with a speaker who can lead a Q&A following the film. Create an eco-fair with local green businesses and environmental organizations. Not only will this inform the public of ways they can get involved, but it’s also a fun way to promote local businesses and bring your community together. To the most passionate environmental activists, Earth Day is not just a 24-hour commitment once a year. It is an every day mindset. We, as a human race, should strive to live on a healthy and sustainable planet. Together, we can turn the “power of the few” into the power of all of us.

Top 10 percent are main problem for environmental pollution

Social justice efforts are multi-faceted and complex, but all boil down to the same underlying problem: discrimination. As Earth Day approaches, people should keep in mind that environmental conservation is no different. Can drives, utilizing reusable water bottles, recycling and planting trees are all important steps in helping the planet — but the solution to sustainable, longlasting change must go deeper. It has to start with large corporations and factories having stricter policies on fossil fuel emissions. The richest 10 percent of people produce half of Earth’s

Kate Carlson News Editor

climate-harming fossil-fuel emissions, while the poorest half contribute a mere 10 percent, according to a British charity Oxfam report released in December. Poor people tend to live in more polluted areas, even though those who pollute the most live in the least polluted areas. That’s where discrimination and

unequal allocation of resources comes into play. People who earn higher wages tend to live in areas away from highways, factories and other undesirable sources of pollutants. Even when there is an exception and people making a higher income live in polluted areas, they still have the money and access to get the health care they need to deal with medical problems like asthma, cardiovascular problems and cancer that stem from living in a polluted environment. This is not a new piece of the pollution problem. In 1977 Sidney Howe, Director

of the Human Environment Center, made the statement that the poor are exposed to more pollution than others, and that those creating the most pollution live in the least polluted places. Howe’s argument remains relevant more than 30 years later. I don’t know if environmental classism will ever get better in my lifetime, but the only way change will occur is if grassroots movements push for policy changes that monitor the top 10 percent who are the main contributor to the problem. There are opportunities to do this on Central Michigan’s campus. Join the Student Environmental Alliance, or sup-

port the programs and events they put on. Write letters to lawmakers, expressing the change in environmental policy you would like to see. Participate in Take Back the Tap, or sport their sticker on your reusable water bottle around campus. Chances are, if you’re a student like me, you fall somewhere in the middle, or toward the bottom of contributing to polluting the planet. Activism for environmental conservation is still possible to achieve. Environmental activism is more than just saving the planet, it’s about improving the quality of life to people who are born into unhealthy environments every day.

Say goodbye to that contested convention ... maybe Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton took the New York primaries by storm. Both candidates won the Empire State with about 60 percent of the vote. The results give the presidential hopefuls a clearer shot at becoming their party’s nominee. Clearer, but not crystal clear. Despite commanding leads, the race remains contentious with big delegate states looming in the distance. According to most politicos, the momentum created by Clinton’s victory is a turning point that makes the path forward for Sen. Bernie Sanders extremely difficult. On Republican row, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz are barely holding on. Kasich’s shot is statistically im-

possible. Cruz clings to the hope that people will just suddenly decide to dump Trump. Again: difficult and “statistically impossible” doesn’t mean a thing in a two-party republic. It all comes down to delegates collected before the party conventions after June. Let’s take a step back. When you vote in a primary, your vote gets doled out in proportional delegates. Delegates are people elected by the parties to cast a vote -- in your absence -- on the convention floor. That doesn’t include superdelegates, the party leaders who have already dedicated their steam to a particular candidate. That can change, too, but it would take a lot to move them. As of right now, Trump and Clinton

lead in pledged delegates. Clinton has a mighty hold on supers. Trump does not. Still, Republicans might not have a clear winner before their convention, bringing up the spectre of a mythological “contested convention.” Having a contested convention means those delegates and superdelegates will decide -- without your consent -- who gets the nomination in a series of party leader ballots. Most pundits said a contested conven-

tion was inevitable if Trump didn’t win New York. He did. They also said it was possible if Cruz and Kasich stay in the race to the end. They are. Count on that one being contentious. For Democrats, the turmoil on the other side is a hellish vision of a republic gone awry. The truth is their fight is getting just as dirty. I mentioned earlier that Sanders is staring losing right in the eyes. If he wants to seal the deal in delegates and the popular vote, he must win most of the remaining states with landslide victories. If he can, it’ll be an historic and unprecedented move to the boards. Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, said that’s exactly what they’ll attempt to do. If

they can get the delegates, but not popular vote, they’ll spend all summer long trying to flip superdelegates to their side. It seems highly unlikely, but Weaver said it’s the strategy, for now. The scope of the Sanders challenge is massive, but Shaun King of the New York Daily News wrote that Clinton might not have the delegate math needed to clinch the nod. If that turns out to be true, we’ll see not one but two contested nominations. Last time that happened was in 1920. It happened three times before that. New York, the Big Apple, the state that John Lennon called the consciousness center of the world, should have decided the election. It didn’t, and so the battle rages on.

taking more than half a million cars off of U.S. roads.” A Carnegie Mellon University study found that we’d each do more good for the planet if we ate meat-free just one day a week than we would if we ate exclusively local foods. Of course, eating more plant-based foods and fewer animal-based foods is good for our health, too. The American Heart Association recommends “substituting some of the meat in your diet with vegetables” as a simple way to reduce our risk of heart disease (America’s number one killer). Even former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has touted the virtues of meatless eating, pointing to fitness celebrity and vegetarian Bill Pearl, who according to Arnold is, “one of the greatest bodybuilders ever.”

Equally exciting is the new world of food you’ll begin to explore when you enjoy more meatless meals. From exotic fare like Indian and Ethiopian dishes to familiar favorites like spaghetti with marinara and vegetables or bean burritos, there’s no shortage of options. CMU dining makes it easy with delicious plant-based options for Meatless Monday, for example. Small changes multiplied by millions make a big difference. Each of us, by pledging this Earth Day to participate in Meatless Monday, can make a tremendous difference for the world and its inhabitants all year long.

Letter to the

EDITOR

Remember importance of Earth Day TO THE EDITOR: During the last decade, phrases like ‘go green’ and ‘reduce your carbon footprint’ have become firmly embedded in our lexicon, just as Earth Day has become an annual celebration. As an environmental advocate, this couldn’t make me happier. I’ve been inspired to see people switch to efficient light bulbs, recycle and use canvas shopping bags instead of paper or plastic. Nearly two thirds of Americans say they recycle on a regular basis compared to a quarter of Americans in the 1990s.Yet, while more people have come to recognize the carbon footprint cost associated with everyday behaviors like driving cars, a lead-

ing cause of environmental degradation has remained largely hidden: factory farming. According to the United Nations, animal agribusiness plays a prominent role in climate change. Wherever factory farms operate, there is sure to be environmental degradation. Untreated manure from hog farms runs off into our rivers, streams and other waterways, killing fish and causing algal blooms. When this waste inevitably reaches our oceans, this creates what scientists call ‘dead zones’—areas of the ocean where all life dies off or moves away due to a lack of oxygen. The damage done to our planet by animal agribusiness is well-documented and ever-increasing; as our population grows

so too does our demand for meat. The good news is that more and more people are connecting what we put on our plates with our impact on the planet. The result is that we as a nation are enjoying more meat-free meals as a way to help ourselves and the planet that sustains us. Since its inception in 2003, Meatless Monday has mushroomed. The idea is simple: enjoy a holiday from meat one day a week. It’s a simple solution with manifold benefits. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, “If every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetables and grains...the carbon dioxide savings would be the same as

News and notes from around campus

Autopsy revealed student was ‘super drunk’ at time of death A mixture of alcohol and drugs was found in Jonathon Justice, who died in February in Deerfield Village Apartments. An autopsy showed Justice’s blood alcohol level was 0.349. A mixture of amphetamines, or central nervous system stimulants, and benzodiazepine, a psychoactive drug that helps with sleep and anxiety, was also found. The 23-year-old Farmington Hills senior was found slumped over a trash can inside his apartment the night of his death, said Lt. Gary Green of the Michigan

State Police Department. Justice’s blood alcohol level is considered “super drunk” because it was above 0.17. “If you get up to around 0.30, the jails won’t even take you,” Green said. “They’ll want us to take them to the hospital until their levels go down.” Police ruled his death an accident. Justice was found unresponsive by his roommates and pronounced dead at the scene.

Central Michigan Life names new Editor-in-Chief for fall, summer

Police following up on active leads in Tsatsos case Michigan State Police troopers are following two active leads in the investigation of Ryan Tsatsos’ death. Tsatsos, a Macomb freshman, was hit and killed by a dark-colored vehicle in November while walking to his residence hall with a group of nine friends on Crawford Road. The driver has not been found. Police received dozens of tips from across Michigan, and have investigated all of them. In all, 65 tips have been investigated and closed. The two open leads were called in in the last couple of days, said Lt. Gary Green. The investigating team has executed search warrants on five cars. This involves

scraping paint off the car to see if it matches the metallic blue paint remnants found on Tsatsos’ body. The paint found was not the original color of the car and could not be matched to a specific company. Through Crime Stoppers, a $5,000 reward is being offered for information regarding the person who killed Tsatsos. While there is no other evidence aside from the color of the car, Green said he is confident the case will be solved. He is counting on tips from the public, or the driver coming forward.

After meeting with the Central Michigan Life Student Media Publications Board, two new leaders of Central Michigan Life were selected for the summer and fall semesters. Taylor junior Andrew Surma will serve as the Editor-in-Chief for the summer 2016 semester. Utica senior Dominick Mastrangelo will serve as Editor-in-Chief for the fall 2016 semester. “It is an immense honor to be named (Editor-in-Chief),” Mastrangelo said. “CM Life to me is the best college media company in the country. I’m really excited to lead a staff that is as passionate about journalism and this campus as I am.”

Surma said he applied for Editor-in-Chief because its a leadership position he’s wanted since he first stared working at the paper as a staff reporter in 2014. “I’m excited to get to work. (I want) and to uphold the longstanding tradition of what CM Life means,” he said. “I’m looking forward to delivering the (paper) into safe hands this fall (semester).” Mastrangelo said he plans to “uphold the standard” of CM Life, by increasing the paper’s presence on the internet and various social media platforms, such as Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook.

Students advised to take safety measures in the sun By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter @DeruiterJoy | news@cm-life.com

Recent warmer temperatures pulled students outdoors, leaving some burned in the process. Because the weather is starting to get warmer, students might need to take additional safety measures if spending long lengths of time outside. Nursing Supervisor at University Health Services Lora Zenz said in an email that a trip to the doctor is necessary when you have a fever of 102 degrees or higher, severe pain, sunburn blisters that cover 20 percent or more of your body, reduced urination or dizziness.” Alana Hollis, a sophomore from Saline, said she was outside for two hours on Friday and four to five hours on Saturday watching roommates play intramural softball.

She didn’t get sunburnt, but her boyfriend turned lobster-red. While sunburn isn’t lethal, it can be painful. Zenz said some ways to care for it include using cold compresses, aloe gel and drugs like Ibuprofen, which is non-steroidal and anti-inflammatory. According to the Grand Rapids National Weather Service, the “June-like weather” had highs of 75 to 80 degrees Sunday through Monday. The rest of the week, there will be slightly cooler temperatures with cloudy skies. Hot weather and high humidity bring a risk for heat-related illnesses, such as dehydration and heat exhaustion. Zenz said signs of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, faintness, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, rapid pulse, muscle cramps nausea and headache. She said if you

think you are experiencing heat exhaustion, stop all activity and rest, move to a cooler place and drink water. If the condition persists or worsens, you should contact your doctor. Lack of treatment can lead to heatstroke. Students were seen outside on campus throughout this week. One of those that did, Nicole Bachman, sat at a picnic table in between Anspach and Pearce halls on Monday, doing homework. She said the warm weather drew her outside for much of the weekend, when she and her roommate when rollerblading through campus and drew with chalk outside of their apartment. “I have been (studying) in the library all winter and I am over (the cold),” she said. “It’s nice to be outside in the wind.”

Master of Public Health program to start in fall @SarahClinks | news@cm-life.com

A Master of Public Health program will be offered this fall after previous attempts to get the program running failed. The new program was approved by the health sciences department in 2013 and by Academic Senate in 2014. It was stalled from starting last fall because the college had difficulty finding a program director and other faculty. Program director Joseph Inungu started at Central Michigan University on April 4 after taking a sabbatical in Africa. He previously taught at CMU from 2001 to 2007 in the community health department. “All of the faculty are concerned about maintaining and

promoting public health,” Inungu said. “CMU is a growing university, so we felt it was time for us to put forward a Masters of Public Health to contribute to the training of future health professionals.” Salma Haidar, School of Health Sciences faculty member, served as the interim program director while Inungu was away. The program will begin in the fall of 2016. Applicants are being accepted for next fall. Haidar is reviewing student applications for the program. Admission requirements include a cumulative 3.0 grade point average or better and an official standardized graduatelevel test score. “There is a lot of interest on a daily basis. I get emails from students daily about the masters program and meet with students,” Haidar said.

Inungu said 30 students have applied as of April 6, and roughly 12 of those students meet the criteria for acceptance. Faculty will meet to discuss whether to admit students that are on the edge of meeting criteria, such as taking a prerequisite class the same semester they are admitted. New classes will be offered in Public Health Environmental Science, Biostatistics, Health Planning and Assessment among others. All new classes were approved by the curriculum committee and by the College of Health Professions. Students need 47 credit hours to earn a degree in Public Health. “I would like to see the program on campus and online,” Haidar said. “The benefits of being on campus are we get to elevate education and work alongside the graduate students. (The)

benefits of online (programs) are that international students can learn from our program.” The community health field is projected to grow at a rate of 25 percent until 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Public Health is a growing field. It educates us as a

healthier society,” said Thomas Masterson, dean of the College of Health Professions. The environment in the public health field is to get into preventive medicine and to improve the health of a population. It looks at statistics and analyzes a population to find the case of

illness and disease. Flint junior Cora Hickey is getting her bachelor’s degree in Public Health and is considering getting her Master’s degree. “Public Health is becoming more popular and it’s smart for the school to invest in a master’s program,” Hickey said.

More than 2,500 students returning to residence halls next year convenient due to the fact that everything is included, like cable and meal plans,” Ellis said. “(Students may also return) because of the good community or the fact that they like the room setup and location.” Students who were awarded a CMU Merit or Talent scholarship of more than $2,500 are required to live on campus for at least two years. Rockford senior and Resident Assistant Jon Veitengruber lives on the sixth floor of Carey Hall and will return to live in the same room in the fall. Veitengruber said coming back to the same place fosters a sense of community between himself and other returning residents. The sixth floor has the greatest number of freshmen returning in all of the Towers residence halls.

By Micayla Glennie Staff Reporter @Micayla_Glennie | news@cm-life.com

Nearly half of the students living in residence halls this semester will live on campus again next semester. Ann Ellis, coordinator of Administrative Services, said 5,724 students live on campus this semester. A total of 2,548 students will be returning to the residence halls next year. Of that 2,548, 1,420 students will be switching residence halls, 455 students will return to the same room, 293 will return to the same floor but not the same room and 380 will return to the same hall but not the same room or hall. “They either come back because they are required to, for scholarships, or because it’s

“We’ve all established such strong relationships and it’s sad to see anyone go,” Veitengruber said. “However, I think we have

other and we make sure everyone feels included, like a part of the floor and like they belong here. I think it’s a pretty cool thing.”

Veitengruber also thinks his residents want to come back to get the experience as a sophomore and to be with friends again. Next year will be his last year at CMU. Freshman Olivia Braun lives on the third floor of Carey Hall. Next year she will be moving upstairs to the sixth floor to join Veitengruber. “My roommates and I all have to stay in the dorms next year for our scholarships and we like the dynamic and familiarity of Carey Hall,” Braun said. “We decided to move to sixth floor because we know the RA and he knows us. We figured that would be easier than getting a new RA we are unfamiliar with.” Room scheduling for students on campus began Nov. 3 and will continue until May 1. At 3 p.m. on May 17, incoming students are able to chose their rooms.

SAPA works to be more inclusive of LGBTQ survivors By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter @Brianne_esque | news@cm-life.com

Autumn Gairaud said same-sex sexual assault and domestic violence isn’t always viewed as “real.” The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network reported a sexual assault occurs every 107 seconds, and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates is working to educate students about how sexual assault and domestic violence isn’t a one-gender, one-sexuality occurrence. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention reported that compared to 35 percent of heterosexual women, 44 percent of lesbians and 61 percent of bisexual women experience sexual assault, physical violence or stalking

Sophomore Edwards transfers to CMU, becomes school’s only football-track athlete By Ryan Warriner Staff Reporter @WarrinerRyan | sports@cm-life.com

Dual-sport athletes have been waning in college athletics. But they could be making a comeback on Central Michigan’s campus, partly because of Berkley Edwards. Edwards is CMU’s only student-athlete participating in two sports — football and track. “So far, the relationship between track and football has been good,” said track Head Coach Mark Guthrie. “I never really was able to get anything going with Coach Enos. We will see how this goes and what (football Head Coach John Bonamego) thinks.” Edwards, a Chelsea native, transferred to CMU from Minnesota before the spring semester. He competed as a Golden Gopher in his first three years of college, participating in both football as a running back and track in sprints before transferring to CMU. Because of NCAA transfer rules, Edwards cannot compete in football until 2017. In sports outside football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball, student-athletes can use a onetime transfer exception making them eligible immediately — which is why Edwards has already started running for the CMU track team. Bonamego played multiple sports in high school before attending CMU. “I learned a lot about myself as a high school athlete in wrestling,” he said. “You’re the only person out there, it’s one-on-one, there’s nowhere to hide. It takes a certain

mindset and a level of confidence to go out and compete in a sport like that. I think that’s healthy and it’s really good.” Still, Bonamego said players on scholarship with football should put their main focus there, and then do other things if time allows. “It really has to work for football,” Guthrie said. “We could have the world-record holder in the 100-meter (dash) here, but if football is unwilling to share that athlete, then we are out.” Coming out of high school, ESPN rated Edwards the No. 63 running back in the nation and the No. 15 overall prospect in the state. As a track athlete, he was a state champion in the 100 and 200-meter dash. He also was a part of the winning 4x100 meter relay team at the Junior Olympics in 2013.

Career at Minnesota At Minnesota, Edwards redshirted during his freshman

season in 2013. During his first active season, Edwards rushed 30 times in 12 games for 140 yards and two touchdowns. In his second season, he rushed five times for 29 yards in two games. It was this reduction in playing time that led to Edwards’ transfer to CMU. “I played more when I was younger. Last year, I just didn’t play at all so I had to make a change,” Edwards said. “I have aspirations to make it to the next level. I want to be able to have the best opportunity I can to play and be able to show what I can do on the field.”

After the 2014 season, Edwards obtained a release letter from Minnesota, which granted CMU, Eastern Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State permission to contact him. CMU recruited Edwards out of high school, so the campus was familiar to him. His younger brother Bailey committed to CMU as a wide receiver on Feb. 3. Their older brother, Braylon, was a wide receiver at Michigan and was drafted third overall in the NFL draft. Braylon also participated in track at Michigan. Edwards said CMU was the

best fit for him.

Transitioning to CMU Edwards obtained his release to compete from Minnesota in January. Since then, he has competed in six track meets for CMU — four indoor meets and two outdoor. During the indoor season, the short-sprint specialist made it to the Mid-American Conference Championship in the 60-meter dash. He finished seventh with a time of 6.88 seconds. So far during the outdoor season, Edwards has a season-best mark of 10.87 in the 100-meter dash. He needs to improve his time by 0.2 seconds to qualify for the MAC Championships in the event. “Indoor was kind of hard because I was out of shape since I didn’t do much of anything last year for football,” Edwards said. With football, Edwards has acquainted himself with the playbook and his new team-

mates during spring practices. “Once we get into fall camp and he has a grasp on the playbook, you’re going to see a totally different player,” said Running Backs Coach Gino Guidugli. Edwards still has to adhere to the NCAA’s 20-hour rule, meaning he has to split his 20 hours every week of time with coaches between track and football. He missed Saturday’s Oakland Invite, as he played in the spring football game and had four carries for seven yards. Bonamego said Edwards will have a role in the running game and kicking game once he’s eligible to play, citing Edwards’ “straight-line speed” as his biggest asset.

Life as a dual-sport athlet e Where others may find the situation and expectations stressful, Edwards said he thrives in it. “I definitely think track helps me with football and football helps me with track,” Edwards said. “Back in the day, people used to be two-sport athletes all the time, or even three-sport athletes.” Guthrie agrees with Edwards’ sentiment. “We’ve become so specific when it comes to what we ask these kids to do,” Guthrie said. “The best athletes I’ve ever had have been two-sport athletes. If you go back and look at the SEC, specifically Tennessee, for a long time had a rich tradition in football and track athletes at a worldclass level.” Sports Editor Taylor DesOrmeau contributed to this article.

Unpredictability of horses challenges club equestrian By Justin Lambregtse Staff Reporter @JLambregtse | sports@cm-life.com

When stepping away from the daily grind of classes, Central Michigan’s club equestrian team travels to the stables for practice. The club goes to stables in Freeland and Riverdale — 45 and 25-minute drives respectively — to practice for an hour every week throughout the school year. The thrill of riding horses, the love of competition and the family-like atmosphere with the team serve as motivation. “It’s really fun, it’s a great team atmosphere,” said Commerce Township freshman Jessie MacDonald. “You bond with the horse, but you bond with your teammates too, which is really cool.” Riders aren’t on the same horse from lessonto-lesson or show-to-show, but still get close with the horses they work with and learn everything about it, MacDonald said. “The girls show up once a week, (and) usu-

ally we do 10 lessons per semester,” said head coach Melanie Blues. “(Team members) come, hang out, groom the horses and get them ready. (We) warm them up, and then we go over the basics (like) walk, trot, canter, a little jumping and then we go from there and get them ready for a horse show.”

The sport of equestrian In equestrian, riders prepare for the competitions — called shows — in front of judges. There are two teams, the hunt team and the stock team. The hunt team focuses on jumping and maneuvering horses around obstacles. There are usually eight to nine competitors in each class. The judges score riders based on skills including riders’ posture and the horse’s movement. Ribbons are awarded to the top six finishers and the winner earns six points, second place earns five points and so on, through sixth place, which gets one point. The stock team shows are slower and without

jumps. The scoring is similar to the hunt team. “On stock team, we do more of the western stuff with chaps, fancy hats and glittery shirts,” said Grand Haven sophomore Rosa Moody. “You have to have a line from your shoulder to your hip to your heel when you are on the horse,” Moody said. “Then (you) just have (to have) good posture and be able to control the horse and get it to do exactly what you want it to.” A rider on the stock team can move into the reining division by placing well. Moody said the riding is more advanced in the reining division, with riding in circle patterns and tricks like spins and sliding stops. Because riders are randomly assigned to horses at each show and practice, riders face the unpredictability and unfamiliarity of the horses. Even with all the practice the team does, predicting how a horse will act is difficult. Riders must constantly adapt from show-to-show and horse to horse. “I get really nervous jumping when we have to memorize the course,” said Grand Rapids senior Melanie Buck. “Going out there on a horse, you don’t know how it is going to act (if) you have never ridden it before and just going for it (is nerve-racking).” The Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association is the governing organization of collegiate equestrian. According to the IHSA website, CMU is in a region with schools including Saginaw Valley, Grand Valley, Albion, Ferris and Adrian College. To fine-tune skills when away from school, many of the club members own horses or have access to them at home. Riding many different horses is key to getting used to the IHSA com-

petition where horses are randomly assigned, Moody said. The show season for equestrian starts in October and runs until February. While the show season is over, the women still practice every week. Many of the women on the team have been riding horses for most of their lives, although Buck said anybody is welcome to join the team, even people with no experience. “We are in desperate need of walk trotters who haven’t ridden before and you can start taking lessons,” Buck said.

Davis optimistic about incoming recruiting class By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter @SalsaEvan | sports@cm-life.com

As the senior class of the 2015-16 Central Michigan men’s basketball team prepares to graduate, and Head Coach Keno Davis hopes the incoming recruiting class can provide an easy replacement. An influx of recruits will be taking the court at McGuirk Arena next season. Incoming freshmen guards Matty Smith, Ellis Jefferson and Kevin McKay, forward David DiLeo and center Innocent Nwoko will suit up for the Chippewas in the 2016-17 season. In addition, on Tuesday, Davis signed forward Cecil Williams, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward. He is a transfer from Moblerly Area Community

College in Missouri, the same school that produced guard Rayshawn Simmons. The senior class of guards Chris Fowler, Austin Stewart and Simmons and forward John Simons leave the program after winning the Mid-American Conference West Division two times and maintaining grade point averages above 3.0. Davis believes this incoming class can do the same. “I think that’s always the goal to continue to try and recruit better players but understand the work ethic and character of the players that we brought in before, I don’t know if that can be improved upon,” Davis said. “I wouldn’t have traded any of those guys that we graduated, including (senior forward Blake Hibbitts), for anyone.” Davis said he and his assistant

We don’t need all (incoming freshmen) to come in and have big roles, but we are going to need production from some of them. Keno Davis CMU men’s basketball head coach

coaches have focused on this recruiting class since their arrival to Mount Pleasant in 2012. He said they understood CMU would lose four players and added six to take their place. Hibbitts is returning for his final season after sitting out last season with a torn ACL. “We don’t need all (five incoming freshmen) to come in and have big roles, but we are going to need production from some of them,” Davis said. “I would say if we were

going to have five or six guys, you’re going to need three players at least to come in and have big production for your team.” McKay is the all-time leading scorer at Warren De La Salle High School. Johnson is a native of San Antonio and Smith was a point guard at South Elgin High School in Illinois. Jefferson and Ellis are both 6-feet tall, while McKay is 6-foot4. Davis said McKay can take the ball to the basket and defend.

DiLeo was named the Iowa City Press-Citizen Player of the Year in 2015 after averaging 15.3 points per game during his junior season at West High School. Davis said the 6-foot-7 DiLeo is a shooter similar to Simons and Hibbitts. Nwoko was named a Detroit News Class B All-State honorable mention after starring at New Haven High School. Davis said the Nigerian-born, 6-foot11 center Nwoko has a bright future in front of him if he can develop quickly. Davis added he has the luxury of having incoming junior forwards Luke Meyer and DaRohn Scott to mentor Nwoko. “You need him to develop and try to be a future impact player for you,” Davis said. “If he exceeds that and does it quicker — even better.” Williams averaged 7.8 points at 5.6 rebounds for the Grey-

hounds in 2015-16. He spent one season at IMG Academy in Florida. His addition comes after 7-feet center Milos Cabarkapa announced his transfer from the program in March. Davis said he would not be surprised if all five freshmen were ready to compete for spots on the court this season. He said this recruiting class is the best class “on paper,” but added players will have to work to reach that potential. Davis said he is high on the recruiting class coming in and he added it fits the way CMU tries to play. “We worked hard to bring this class in but if they can have anywhere near the type of work ethic that the (graduating seniors) had coming in, then they are going to have quite a bit of success here,” Davis said.

Golf readies for weekend’s MAC Championship match By Austin Denean Staff Reporter @atd023 | sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan golf team will swing back into action for the first time since March 29 when they travel to Noblesville, Indiana for the Mid-American Conference Championship. The three-day event begins on Friday at Purgatory Golf Club, a par-72 course that stretches to 7,754 yards in length. “We know how the course plays because we played the MAC Preview, so we’ve been over our stats and what clubs we hit the most into the greens,” said redshirt freshman Holly Hines.

Previous three matches • Clover Cup: 17 out of 17 • MSU Spring Citrus Challenge: 19 out of 20 • John Kirk Panther Intercollegiate: 15 out of 15 Source: CMUChippewas.com

Sophomore Natalie Johnson said the Chippewas’ goal for this event is to shoot around 315 to finish in the middle of the pack. “We’ve got to take it one shot at a time and not get too frustrated over a bad hole or a bad shot,” Johnson said.

Johnson has been CMU’s top golfer for most of this season with a stroke average of 81.3. She has finished with the top score for the Chippewas in two of the three spring events. “I feel like my tempo is really good right now and I’m really excited to be playing,” Johnson said. In the 2015 MAC Fall Preview at Purgatory Golf Club, CMU struggled through windy conditions on the final day to finish 12th in the 13team field. Last year’s champion Kent State comes into the event fresh off a win in the Lady Buckeye Invitational looking to win its 18th consecutive MAC Tournament title.
