A second visit to Mount Pleas-ant by rapper Ludacris was described as a great win by the Office of Student Activities and Involvement and Program Board, despite poor ticket sales.

While the overall cost of produc-tion is still being determined, the contract between Disturbing tha Peace Touring, Inc. and Central Michigan University agreed on a $75,000 guaranteed pay check to Christopher Brian Bridges, known by his stage name Ludacris. Tick-ets for the Sept. 28 concert were $25 but were later reduced to buy one get one half off before being

available for free.“We measure success by asking

ourselves: Did we accomplish our goal by bringing diverse entertain-ment to campus?” said Director of the Office of Student Activities and Involvement Damon Brown. “In this case we did. It was diverse and didn’t cost students anything, so it was a great win for us.”

Students who previously bought tickets had the opportunity to be reimbursed. They were provided with a new ticket for the same seat location for free, minus service and delivery fees.

Brown said 3,500 tickets were given out. Ticket Central counted 1,637 scanned tickets from people who attended the performance.

“The numbers that we have are closer to 2,500,” Brown said. “We don’t know where the difference lies. We had close to 800-900 peo-ple on the floor and the first two sections from floor to the top were full. That puts us close to 2,500 not including the back section, which was pretty full.”

There could have been an issue with how tickets were scanned at the event, Brown said, but they have decided to move on and not focus on confirming the actual at-tendance number.

“For us it’s about if the show is well received by our students. We don’t look at a show and say ‘2,000

Central Michigan University run-ning back Thomas Rawls was sen-tenced to probation and community service under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which allows first-time offenders to clear their records from the public after successfully complet-ing the terms of probation.

“I’m grateful that it’s over with and finished, I had great support not only from my attorney but also my family friends teammates and people around this campus,” Rawls said. “It’s finished. I’m moving forward from it.”

Rawls pleaded guilty to one count of attempted larceny in a

building, punishable by up to two years in prison and a $1,000 fine. In exchange, Rawls agreed to assist authorities by helping identify and testifying against others involved in the purse theft case.

Isabella County Judge Mark Duthie followed the plea agreement, sentencing Rawls to a 12-month probation period, 104 hours of com-munity service to be completed in nine months and various fines and restitution costs.

According to Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Police, on April 8 Rawls and a friend used a credit card stolen from the purse of a 62-year-old Holly woman and purchased sub sandwiches and gasoline. The total purchase was $33.75.

Rawls testified that he moved the purse to the floor so his friend could steal it.

“I make mistakes and I made a bad decision,” Rawls said. “I suffered the consequences and now the only thing I can do is move forward from it.”

Attorney Tom Hausmann cited Rawls’ cooperation with police after the incident as proof of his remorse.

Rawls turned himself in to police soon after having knowledge of the warrant out for his arrest.

“When this incident happened, Mr. Rawls, and the decision that he made, showed a great deal of immaturity,” Hausmann said. “Since that time, Mr. Rawls has shown a great level of

maturity in regards to taking care of this matter.”

Rawls could be sentenced up to a month in jail if his he violates the terms of his probation. Duthie also allowed Rawls to leave the state for any CMU football-relat-ed activities.

“I want to apologize to the Cen-tral Michigan football team, the athletic director, coaches and also my teammates,” Rawls said. “I also want to apologize to the university as a whole, from the students and the teachers, and also to the city of Mount Pleasant.”

“I make mistakes and I made a bad

decision. I suffered the consequences and now the only thing I can do is move forward

from it.”

There will not be an-other wolf hunt this

year in Michigan, but re-cent legislation caused

controversy by making it a possibility in the future.

Marcella Hadden, the public relations manager

for the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, said manage-

ment of wolves is unnec-essary and works against some core beliefs of the

Tribe’s culture.“There are clan systems.

They are a way for us to identify with the animal world,” Hadden said.

Some of the clans include the eagle, crane, turtle, bear and wolf. Each clan represents a different set of traits and characteristics the people who belong to them will display.

Each clan also traditionally plays a different role in the overall tribe and have their own set of colors to represent them. They help to designate tasks and organization of all tribe members.

“Your clan comes through you from your father,” Had-den said.

Clans are such an important part of the Native American culture that members are expected to abstain from con-suming the meat of whatever their particular clan represen-tative might be.

“If there’s a feast, you wouldn’t eat your clan. A bear clan member would not eat the bear and if you were of the fish clan then you wouldn’t eat the fish,” Hadden said.

The wolf plays a role in the Tribe’s creation story, and therefore holds an honored role in their culture and society.

To hunt and kill an animal that represents much of the Tribe’s history and tradition, she said, is unnecessary and should be stopped.

“(The wolf ) plays a big role in our culture, so it’s more than anything you would eat,” Hadden said.

Whether the Michigan De-partment of Natural Resources will hold a second wolf hunt after they have the power to do so in March remains to be seen. Brian Roell, a DNR wildlife biologist based in Mar-quette, said the issue lies with the integrity of both groups arguing their side.

“Both sides of this issue are just as guilty as each other of using half-truths and myths, so I really ask folks to become informed,” he said. “They tend to use the word science like it’s a sword and there’s nothing scientific about turning this over to voters. It really is up to the voter to become informed.”

The decisionTwo proposals appear on

the November general elec-tion ballot that, if voted down, would overturn laws establish-ing the rules for wolf hunting. Roell said there will be no hunt in 2014 because the DNR’s ability to conduct one was sus-pended when groups like Keep Michigan Wolves Protected gained enough signatures to put Public Act 21 on the ballot.

Proposal 1 is a referendum seeking to overturn Public Act 520, a piece of legislation signed by Gov. Snyder in 2012 that established wolf hunting seasons in Michigan.

Proposal 2, another referen-dum, seeks to overturn Public Act 21, which was signed by Snyder in 2013 and gave the sole power of deciding which animals will be declared game species to the Natural Resourc-

es Commission.In the past, game species

had to be declared by the legislature.

Public Act 21 superseded Public Act 520, suspending it or making it ineffective. Crit-ics of the proposal campaign claim that even if anti-wolf hunt campaigns are able to convince voters to vote no on Proposal 1, it will have no prac-tical effect on whether there are wolf hunts in Michigan.

A “no” vote on Proposal 2 will also be ineffective in prac-tice due to the work of Citizens for Professional Wildlife Man-agement, a pro-wolf hunting group that collected enough signatures this year to push through a citizens initiative in August. The Natural Resources Commission Initiative extends the power of naming games species and deciding how wildlife will be managed to the commission.

Even if Proposals 1 and 2 are shot down by voters, the initiative supersedes them by shifting the power to name game species from voters to the commission.

Drew YoungeDyke, secre-tary for Citizens for Profes-sional Wildlife Management, said the commission already had the power to designate hunting seasons and most other aspects of hunting.

“What our law will do is make that option available to biologists in 2015 and beyond,” YoungeDyke said. “When they did the first hunt they had everything ready by early spring.”

YoungeDyke said the group’s goal in pursuing the initiative was to take the ability to decide gaming species out of the hands of voters and put it into the hands of qualified ex-perts. Under the new law, the NRC will be required to take into account the testimony and advice of DNR professionals like Roell when making a deci-sion about a game species.

“It makes sure that the decisions based on scientific management,” YoungeDyke said. “They really sit like a jury, and they’re required to listen to the scientific evidence.”

Roell said his knowledge as an expert is sometimes over-looked, and leaving decisions about game species up to vot-ers might not be the best idea.

“What bothers me the most about this whole thing is that we are attempting to do resource management through uniformed voters,” he said. “I often ask myself, ‘When do I become an expert?’ I’ve been studying wolves for 16 years.”

Some, like Hadden, fail to see the validity of hunt-ing wolves for manage-ment purposes. In 2008, for example, Michigan passed two laws protecting the rights of farmers or livestock owners to protect their animals from wolf attacks.

The laws are Public Acts 290 and 318, and give own-ers the power to remove wolves from their property, capture them or kill them if the wolves are “in the act of

preying upon” the owner’s livestock or dogs.

In 2013, hunters in three regions of the Upper Pen-insula took in 22 wolves, roughly half of the state’s limit of 43, Roell said.

Roell said last year’s hunt was conducted as a way to manage the wolf population and prevent the population of under 700 from being greatly affected.

In Gogebic County the target was 16 wolves. In por-tions of Baraga, Houghton and Ontonagon counties the target was 19 wolves. In portions of Luce and Mackinac counties the goal was eight wolves. These target numbers were only met by about half when the hunt closed on Jan. 1.

students were there, it was a success or failure,’ ” Brown said.

The Office of Student Activities discussed a free concert to kick off the year. In-tended to be part of the Weeks of Welcome initiative, the free Dan and Shay concert tied into MAINstage was the prototype to see what free concert at-tendance might look like.

Josh Palmer, Program Board president, said a free fall concert would be a com-bined effort but not strictly a Program Board show.

Those plans are dependent on having enough financial resources for a free show. Program Board’s $315,000 overall budget would likely need additional support.

Overall, Palmer said feed-back from concert was great, as was the integration of the concert into the return of Hip Hop Week.

“We struggle with the

academic part (of our mis-sion statement). How do you make a concert educational? That’s one thing we were able to do with Hip Hop Week,” Palmer said.

Keith Voeks, assistant director of university events, said it takes between 30-40 days for production costs to be billed. The total cost should be available in the next week, which includes lights, emergency personnel, vendors and costs associated with the hospitality rider for Ludacris’ production crew.

Former Central Michigan University student Katie Meyer will perform stand-up comedy Thursday.

Sponsored by Program Board, the event will take place at 7 p.m. in the Bovee University Center Student Lounge. Brett Hadwin, comedy chair for the Program Board, said Meyer was on campus when Trap Door Improv, a comedy troupe sponsored by the university, was just being formed and had a hand in its inception.

“She is an alum so that was a big part of (the choice),” Hadwin said. “We want to make sure people see where chips have gone.”

Meyer, who graduated from CMU with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Music Theatre, moved to Los Angeles in 2010 and now performs her stand-up comedy a local venues there.

Hadwin said CMU’s own Jordan Masek, a junior music theatre student, will open for Meyer before her 30-minute show. The event is free and open to the public.

“She has an amazing story,” Hadwin said. “I think we’re going to have a good turn out.”

Meyer will stay after her show to talk with students who attend.

Members of the Saginaw Chip-pewa Indian Tribe and Central Michigan University are making changes to the resolution outlin-ing the terms of their working relationship.

The resolution, signed in 2002 by Tribal Chief Steve Pego and then-President Michael Rao, acknowledged both groups sup-port and educate the community and established an understanding that they would continue future collaboration.

Kathleen Wilbur, vice president of development and external rela-tions, said meetings to renew the resolution began January 2014.

“We had a discussion about how we wanted to see this up-dated,” Wilbur said. “Should it include more? Should it say less? It’s just really looking at the me-chanics of what it should be.”

Updating the resolution will fo-cus on small changes to wording, Wilbur said, and will not alter any of the document’s main points of cooperation and collaboration with the Tribe.

The resolution also establishes that CMU is allowed to use the “Chippewa” nickname, with the

understanding that it be used to respect and honor the Tribe’s long history in the community.

“When there is (a problem) that occurs, we then have such a great relationship that we’re able to call and we immediately sit down and try to address it,” Wilbur said.

Marcella Hadden, public relations manager for the Tribe, said the resolution is good for maintaining standards of respect between the Tribe and university.

“When the Chippewa name comes up again, that’s when people start looking at the reso-lution again,” she said. “That’s

when CMU reassures us that no one is going to go out on the field and paint their face and things like that.”

Wilbur said there is no set date for the resolution to be updated, but President George Ross and Chief Pego will sign it at completion.

Damon Brown visited Central Michigan University on Monday to share how his family was affected by cancer.

By Malachi BarrettNews Editor

In the two hours Damon Brown spent Monday intimately relieving his wife’s seven-year fight against breast cancer, he dropped his smile only once.

Keisha Brown was a 33-year-old mother of one when she was diag-nosed with cancer in her right breast. She died April 10, after beating the disease four times, undergoing exten-sive chemotherapy, surgeries and a double mastectomy.

“My world stopped. The person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with is gone,” Brown said, his voice cracking for the first time that night.

His sorrow quickly turned back to a resigned peacefulness as the director of student activities and involvement recounted his family’s fight with breast cancer in a presentation called “I’m Gonna Love You Through it,” at the Bovee University Center Rotunda.

“As much as I love my wife, as much as I love her now, if she is back she’s still in pain,” Brown said. “That means she is still suffering. That is not a Keisha I want.”

Time and time again, Brown spoke of how his wife gave him strength throughout her battle with cancer. He talked about how she had a fierce connection with anyone she met, how she playfully rebuffed his early advances, and their happiness after conceiving their daughter Angel,

despite being told by doctors Keisha was infertile.

Keisha was a source of strength for her family, refusing to succumb to despair after the cancer returned again and again.

The disease is an old enemy of Brown’s; his mother was taken by cancer when he was 18-years-old. He described the raw anger and confu-sion he felt at losing two of the most important women in his life to the disease.

Keisha wouldn’t let him dwell on that for long. After she was diagnosed the first time, Brown said he felt as helpless as he was as a teenager.

“As we started to leave (the hos-pital) I began having these horrible thoughts and she stopped and said ‘You know we’re going to be ok right?’ “ Brown shrugged it off. “She stopped right in front of my face and said, ‘No. You know we’re going to be ok.’ From that moment on I knew that she was going to live her life and take advan-tage of every second that she had.”

Keisha never gave up on her life. She coached Sacred Heart Academy boys’ basketball from 2003-09 and led the Irish to five straight conference titles, four district championships, three regional crowns and a runner-up showing in Class D in 2006. In addition, she served as a principal and athletic director, all while battling against the cancer as it worked its way into her bone marrow.

Her story lives on in a documentary

Brown shared at the event, allowing Keisha to address through a record-ing to the crowd directly after her passing.

“I’m stronger because of cancer,” she told the audience in the video. “I laugh a lot more. There’s a poem about there about what cancer cannot do. It cannot take your joy, it can-not steal your spirit; cancer can do so many wonderful things. It brings families together, it brings enemies together.”

The Browns’ story was one of hope in insurmountable circumstances.

Even at the end, when Brown had

to tell his wife she was days away from death, he said Keisha didn’t shed a tear. In her final moments, she said she was ready to go home, finally able to rest after years of fighting.

Brown carries on her legacy in the Angel Wings Foundation, a breast cancer charity named after their daughter. This wasn’t the only legacy he wanted to leave with CMU.

“To students: live your life. Life flies by so fast,” Brown said. “Take ad-vantage of each and every day, value your friendships. Keisha lived her life as if she couldn’t lose and that is the one thing I share with you.”

Reports of a pepper spray-like irritant led to the Mount Pleasant Fire Department being dispatched to Mount Pleasant High School Monday morning.

The school was evacuated for a short time, during which, the MPFD ventilated the school with an industrial fan. School resumed for a short while after such, only to be called off by school officials at 12:30 p.m. when students and faculty complained once more about the irritant.

The MPFD returned once more to completely ventilate the school and make sure that it was safe for classes to be held.

Reviewed video footage from the school revealed that the incident was a result of a group of students interested in the effects of pepper spray. A small group of students were shown playing with a canister to see how it worked. After releasing the spray within one of the pod areas, the students in question left the school.

The students in question, whose remain unnamed, confessed to school officials.

The pepper spray caused no injuries to students or staff.

Beating the Bug

College campuses are a breed-ing ground for influenza. Crammed classrooms and crowded hallways are a part of everyday college life. Unfortunately, the lifestyle often helps the spread of illness among our community members.

As winter approaches, students must safeguard against the flu by taking necessary precautions. That starts with receiving a flu shot.

This past month, the media has been fixated on sickness, specifi-cally the spread of Ebola. “U.S. ramps up fight on Ebola,” reads the Monday edition of USA Today. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other major media outlets have also jumped aboard the Ebola bandwagon.

While it is important to contain Ebola and stop its spread out of West Africa, we must not forget we are fighting our own war on disease at home – one far deadlier than Ebola.

Nearly 40,000 people die from the flu each year in the United States. Some 200,000 people are hospitalized, according to a recent report from Harvard University.

Cases of Ebola total less than 10,000 worldwide. That’s a death toll of 4,555 as of Oct. 14, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Despite frightening headlines and sensational television news, Ebola is not an immediate threat on our soil. More attention should be offered to this season’s impending

influenza. Although the flu usu-ally peaks in January or February, according to the CDC, cases began to rise alarmingly early last year, in mid-November.

Central Michigan Life published on Monday an article detailing preventative measures students can take in order to stay healthy this winter. Washing hands, keeping hands from your face and strength-ening immunity through exercise and balanced diet were among the many pieces of advice.

The strongest method of defense, health professionals agree, is a yearly flu shot.

University Health Services has about 1,200 shots available. Shots are available in Foust Hall 200 from

Monday to Friday during normal business hours. In addition, several other clinics and locations carry the shot, such as local pharmacies.

Although adverse reactions to the flu shot are rare, they do exist. You should consult with a doc-tor to learn more about risks and allergic reactions associated with vaccination.

Less than half of adults aged 18 years old and older will get a flu shot this season. At the very least, students, faculty and staff should take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of germs and strengthen our community’s health.

Your fellow students, faculty and staff will thank you.

(MCT)Oct. 19--As even occasional readers

of this column probably figured out long ago, I take a dim view of politi-cians who want to limit the repro-ductive choices of Michigan women.

The conviction that women should make decisions about bearing chil-dren without government interfer-ence leaves me almost perpetually at loggerheads with Right to Life of Michigan, whose mission is to outlaw abortion in the long run and in the meantime make it as difficult as pos-sible for Michigan women to get one.

But I’ve made a point in each of the last several election cycles of

Brian DickersonDetroit Free Press

How Right to Life keeps winning in Michigan

tipping my hat to the relentless effec-tiveness of Right to Life’s work, even as I deplore the outsized shadow the group casts over Michigan politics.

I don’t endorse Right to Life’s ob-jectives. But I wish more advocacy groups would imitate its straight-forward, ground-up approach to political advocacy.

Pollsters tell us consistently that a majority of Michiganders, including many women who say they would never choose to end their own preg-nancy, oppose efforts to outlaw abor-tion outright. Yet election cycle after election cycle, voters in our state assure that a majority of lawmakers in both houses are ready to go to bat for Right to Life’s agenda.

Right to Life also has a pretty good record of electing judges disposed to uphold anti-abortion legislation even

when it’s constitutionally suspect. In Michigan and many other states, that leaves federal judges appointed for life the only bulwark against legislative encroachments on re-productive choice.

How does Right to Life bend the Legislature and judiciary to its will?

The group’s primary strategy is to identify candidates for elected office at every level of government who share its agenda and link them to the anti-abortion voters most likely to participate in primary and general elections.

By recruiting candidates for offices as local (and as far removed from authority over reproductive policy) as county commission, district court and community college trustee, Right to Life ensures that its farm team remains stocked with experienced office-holders ready to be called for big-league duty in the state Legisla-ture and appellate courts.

By vetting candidates and muster-ing voters weeks before the lightly attended primary elections, the group assures its representation in the majority of legislative districts

where one party enjoys a prohibitive advantage in the general election.

In most election cycles, includ-ing this one, Right to Life effectively locked down pro-life majorities in both legislative houses by the second week in August, months before most voters even begin to think about the November general election.

Among the believersPro-choice voters who want to

avoid supporting those who oppose abortion can visit Right to Life’s website, which lists 262 candidates who have passed muster with local volunteers and earned the statewide organization’s endorsement in the current election cycle.

But Right to Life isn’t about to waste its money calling the general public’s attention to its efforts. Not unreasonably, its own outreach efforts narrowly target voters who have been vetted nearly as closely as the candi-dates Right to Life endorses.

“It’s our goal to connect our candi-dates with people who have con-nected with us,” spokesperson Pam Sherstad explains.

But if Right to Life prefers to oper-

ate discreetly, it eschews the decep-tive third-party ads anonymously bankrolled by many special interests.

So when you see an attack ad lambasting a candidate’s support for job-killing taxes, illegal immi-grants, or unrepentant sex preda-tors, you’re watching the work of some other group.

None of this is rocket science. If politics were football, Right to Life’s obsession would be the workaday business of blocking and tackling.

Nor does the admirable discipline and energy of the organization’s volunteers redeem its retrograde mission, which is to re-criminalize decisions properly reserved to women and their physicians.

Still, Right to Life’s has earned its disproportionate influence in Lansing the hard way. And until advocates of reproductive choice mobilize their own supporters as effectively, legislators will con-tinue to chip away at the rights of Michigan women.

(MCT)Oct. 13--Your hope in any political

debate is for a defining moment, that point where difference and distinction become clear enough for voter choice-making.

At Sunday night’s gubernatori-al town hall at Wayne State Uni-versity in Detroit, that moment came for me when Gov. Rick Snyder and former Democratic Congressman Mark Schauer were asked about gay marriage.

Snyder took the pragmatic ap-proach: Wait for the courts to decide, don’t pre-judge a hypothetical.

Schauer intoned passionately about how his administration would fight discrimination everywhere, under any circumstances.

That gulf, between restrained practicality and more fervent social and cultural belief, may be the fulcrum upon which voters make their choices between these two men Nov. 4.

For Snyder, his practicality is both his greatest strength and his most frustrating foible.

It was level-headedness, for instance, that led him to such dramatic action in Detroit, whose balance sheet and negative tra-jectory cried out for action, but whose investment from Lansing raises serious issues even within his own party.

In his mind, there was little choice, regardless of belief. The city needed to be fixed; he exercised the tools he had to do it.

But that same approach is ut-terly confounding when it comes to something like same-sex equality under the law. Sometimes, you thirst for a leader who’ll stiffen his spine, and say what feels right, and signifi-cant in the moment. Snyder won’t (or can’t) bring himself to do it.

The town hall gave voters a clear picture of the contrast between these two candidates. With 3 1/2 weeks to go before we cast ballots, that’s more to work with than we’ve had up to now.

Hand-stitched rainbow wings, the Michigan state flag and an electric organ with 1984 etched on the side seemingly have nothing in common. Put together, they are integral components that make up Central Michigan University alumus Joe Hertler.

As the front man for the band Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers, Hertler said the “funkiness” of the band is just as much a part of who they are as their outlandish costumes. His band has seen a growth in popularity and is in talks to sign a record deal with a division of a major label in time for the debut of their newest album, “Terra Incong-nita,” in November.

“It kind of just coincides with the festivity of our shows. (The band members) love color and we love the flamboy-ance that can come out of a show,” he said.

Hertler, a 2013 graduate, established himself by playing open mic nights at Kaya Tea and Coffee co. and other bars around Michigan. The ability to play and write music was extremely therapeutic for Hertler, who said songwriting gave him a chance to gather his thoughts before communi-cating them.

“I’m not the best talker in the world,” he said. “Music and writing songs gave me a chance to reflect and commu-nicate in a dignified manner.”

From funky blues tunes to soft folk rock, the Lansing-based band draws inspiration for their tunes from every-thing and anything.

“We jump all over the place,” Hertler said. “I know personally I just get bored quickly of certain sounds.”

It’s their weird sound and antics that seem to draw fans to them. Julian Sanders, a Uni-versity of Michigan physics major, considers himself a big fan of the band since seeing

them last year.“Originally I was like, ‘Who

are these crazy guys with their crazy clothes and birch bark vests’,” Sanders said. “But then they played a couple of songs. They had a really chill vibe.”

Manager Irving Ronk has worked with the Rainbow Seekers since 2010 admires the group’s ability to work together.

“Being able to work with the guys is a lot of fun,” Ronk said. “They’re extremely talented and creative and when they’re all working on a project together, I think it makes their creative ideas get even better.”

The Rainbow Seekers are on a tour with a number of other Michigan based bands such as Big Sherb and Kim Vi and the Siblings.

Their next stops are in Kalamazoo on Oct. 23 at Bell’s Eccentric Cafe, followed by a Oct. 24 show at The Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. The rainbow Seekers’ tour schedule can be found at joehertler.com

LEading thE safari

By Adrian HeddenManaging Editor

Just weeks before the November general election, Gov. Rick Snyder said his priorities lie with higher education.

Higher education is significant for job creation, Snyder said, and to keep young professionals in the state to work and live.

“It’s an important area we need to invest in,” Snyder told Central Michi-gan Life during a conference call with state-wide student media. “(Students) are our future. We want to make higher education more affordable for people because we want to make it more af-fordable for people to get the training and skills they need to stay here in Michigan.”

Snyder explained that during his term as governor, the state has created more than 300,000 private sector jobs.

He said he hopes to create an envi-ronment where families will continue to live and work in Michigan, mention-ing Detroit, Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, as cities students are “excited” to live and work in after college.

Focusing on community colleges and vocational schools, Snyder said dual enrollment with these schools and universities would save students tuition dollars.

“Dual enrollment is the single big-gest saver,” he said. “I’ve been working with community colleges to also boost financial aid. We all have to do our part to contain costs.”

Taking office in 2011, Snyder said Michigan faced a $1 billion deficit. The legislature had to cut higher education funding by about 20 percent. In the fol-lowing years, he said he has continued to increase funding, hoping to return appropriations to where when he began his first term.

“We had to make some cuts to higher education in that first year,” Snyder said. “This year, university officials are pleased with the increase in funding. We’ve been able to add a lot more rev-enue to this year.”

Officials at Central Michigan Univer-sity hope higher education can return to the level of funding it once had.

Kathleen Wilbur, vice president of

development and external relations, said Snyder must continue to increase support for higher education as he has in recent years.

“We didn’t want higher education to be on the chopping block (in 2011), but it was,” she said. “(Snyder) has been paying back that cut. With the support of the people, and the legislature, we’ll get back to where we were.

The parameters for determining how much funding each university receives benefitted CMU, Wilbur said.

“Under this current set of metrics, we have done well,” Wilbur said “I assume if Snyder is re-elected, we’ll use those same metrics. If his opponent wins, I don’t know if we’ll even have metrics.”

After CMU saw a 15 percent decline in state appropriations for the 2011-12 academic year, down $11,985,000 from 2010-11’s total of $80,064,200, funding has grown steadily each year after.

Appropriations increased by $2.6 million in 2012-13, and then by $2.8 million in 2013-14. This year, state ap-propriations increased by $5.6 million, bringing the total to about $79 million just under $1 million less than the total before Snyder’s initial cut.

Student political groups at CMU said higher education is an essential com-ponent of the governor race this year. President of CMU’s College Democrats Sam McNerney said Snyder does not value higher education, merely using it as a topic to get student votes.

“Gov. Snyder sees (higher education) as something he can use as a priority to get students to vote,” McNerney said. “Based on the actions of his office, it’s clear it’s not a priority.”

Citing the 2011 cut to state appro-priations, McNerney said the subse-quent increases are not adding up. He said Snyder’s priorities are with special interests such as big business and com-peting with other states.

Looking at 2012, when Snyder passed the right-to-work law making membership in worker unions not mandatory, McNerney said Snyder’s priorities are not for education or the middle class.

“He only cares about the one per-cent, and dismantling the middle class,”

School officials, Snyder concerned with higher education before election

Central Michigan Life | File PhotoGov. Rick Snyder said higher education is one of his top priorities going into the November midterm election. He is running against former Congressman Mark Schauer.

McNerney said. “For a strong middle class, education is essential. With right to work, it is clear he doesn’t care about the middle class, so education cannot be a priority.”

Education will be the “deciding fac-tor” in this year’s election, McNerney said, hoping Michigan will vote former Congressman Mark Schauer into office.

“Michigan will give a ‘no’ to Snyder. That will usher in Schauer, who’s more in touch with the middle class and stu-dents,” McNerney said. “The increases are just not adding up, and that’s why

getting students out to vote is going to be so essential.”

President of CMU’s College Repub-licans Ottorino Schincariol said Snyder would get re-elected to keep appropria-tions growing, and support for universi-ties moving forward.

“Snyder will get re-elected,” he said. “He’ll win because he has a lot in the these past four years, and he’ll keep propelling Michigan forward. He balanced the budget, that was a huge thing.”

The college-age generation is imper-

ative to Michigan’s future, Schincariol said, and Snyder’s priorities will con-tinue to reflect that if he is re-elected.

“It’s a huge thing for him to look at,” he said. “We’re the next generation. We’re going to be the leaders. There’s a lot that older generations are worried about us, but our generation has huge potential, and higher education is important to that.”

Both the College Democrats and Re-publicans are volunteering in the weeks before the election to encourage stu-dents to register and vote. Democrats, McNerney said, will be registering students on campus and even providing rides to the polling places.

College Republicans are working at their county GOP office, along with encouraging students to join their meetings, regardless of affiliation.

“We’d love to see everyone on campus be a part of a political group,” Schincariol said. “Students need to make their own opinion, and be edu-cated on who to vote for.”

“We had to make some cuts to higher education in that first

year. this year, university officials are pleased with the

increase in funding. ” Gov. Rick Snyder

By Andrea PeckSenior Reporter

Party affiliation, marriage equal-ity and sparse voter turnouts among millennials topped the bill Tuesday during the second installment of the 2014 Speak Up Speak Out student forum.

The event featured panelists from across the political spectrum to dis-cuss important issues in the upcom-ing midterm election.

“Any time you talk about midterm elections, there is an unusual and unique dynamic,” said Gary Randall, a Griffin Endowed Chair in Political Science. He added that Michigan will play an important role in the upcom-ing primary. “It is a truly unique year in terms of opportunity.”

“What Matters In This Election?” featured four panelists which in-cluded Randall, J. Cherie Strachan, a professor of political science, Samuel McNerney, the chair of College Dem-ocrats and Ottorino Schincariol, the president of College Republicans.

The talk began with a question posed as to what voters can expect on Nov. 4, voting day, and whether a major political party will control races or keep their hold on the House of Representatives or Senate.

Major voting concerns of college students dominated a majority of the conversation, with topics including college costs in the state of Michigan, the legalization of marijuana and marriage equality.

The discussion also centered

SUSO emphasizes importance of elections,

bipartisan politics

around the differences and simi-larities between the candidates for governor.

Strachan made a point that many college students feel frustrated with the current structure of politics, and if students wish to see changes in policies they care about they should vote in all elections.

“It matters that you turn out and vote for legislators,” she said. “Legis-lators draft policy.”

On the topic of marriage equality, panelists voiced their opinions that

the issue could be a dividing factor in the election.

“Marriage equality is a generation-al issue,” Schincariol said. “College students tend to be more in favor of it.”

Panelists, overall, agreed that politics is more polarized than it has ever been.

“We are in an unprecedented time of partisanship,” McNerney said, adding that sometimes it is necessary to look past political views to issues that affect the public.

The talk ended with an emphasis on the importance of voting, regard-less of political views.

“Don’t be so polarized,” Randall said. “Engage in the political process. You have to have an open mind.”

Kelly Wright, an Eaton Rapids graduate student, agreed with what the panelists stated about the lack of voting in the youngest generation.

“I am interested in politics and why people choose to vote. I agree that people of the younger genera-tion hesitate to voice their opinions,”

she said.Shelby Township junior Marie

Sokolowsky felt the discussion did a great job of covering issues of com-mon frustration when it comes to politics.

“It turned from a discussion of the issues to a discussion of general dis-satisfaction with politics,” she said. “But I think one over-arching theme was that we can be the generation to change politics. It kind of put every-body on the same page.”

Leading the Safari

Lunch with a buddy provides meaningful mentor experience

By Andrea PeckSenior Reporter

Leadership Safari is more than just a university program for Kara Agby. For her, it is a way of life.

The Harrison Township sopho-more started out in Leadership Safari as a participant, then served as a guide last year.

“I was a part of Core Team Minty Fresh, and I was the leader of Team Skunk,” Agby said. “I was very nervous, but I knew what it was from my fresh-man year. I had a great experience and my participants were wonderful.”

The road to becoming a Safari guide starts the year before they actually become a guide. Students interested in serving as a guides start out with an interview, and if they make it through, they attend training.

“There are about six training dates,” Agby said, adding that most of the train-

ing happens before summer vacation. “We all come back about a week

before Safari starts. That’s much more focused. That’s where we finalize our schedule and work on bonding.”

Once freshmen arrive, the real work begins.

Agby said she loved the chance to pass on some knowledge and wisdom to her participants, and mainly because of this she still speaks with many of them.

“I always like to emphasize to my participants that the person you were in the past doesn’t have to be who you are now,” she said. “Leadership Safari is the start of a clean slate. You can be whoever you want to be in college.”

Agby said she had a great experi-ence as a guide.

“The week went so smooth,” she said. “I loved being a guide and being a role model for the students.”

When she is not involved in Leader-

For Alyssa Barkovich, making a difference in a child’s life is more important than having a free Friday afternoon.

The Lauton junior is a member of lunch buddies, a program that sends volunteers from Central Michigan University to six elementary schools. The program promotes nutrition, physical activity and academic success to elementary students during their recess and lunch periods.

“I heard it was a good program. I would rather spend my time there on a Friday afternoon working with kids rather than just in my room,” she said.

On Fridays, CMU volunteers carpool to one of the schools that is part of the program. They then check in at the of-fice and with a Lunch Buddies site co-ordinator, go to lunch and recess with their buddy, and finally have reflection with their coordinator.

The reflection period was imple-mented last year, and has provided a meaningful connection to the program.

“It’s very easy to go into a school, have fun, and leave and not really take much away from it because you just had a bunch of fun and played around on a playground you haven’t been on in a long time,” said Alyssa Newman,

Livonia graduate student and Lunch Buddies supervisor. “So we try to get them to actually think about something before they leave and take something away.”

The program coordinates with the schools to find the elementary students who would benefit most from having one of the 140-145 CMU mentors as a Lunch Buddy. With Shepherd Elemen-tary School being the newest addition this year, the other five participating elementary schools in the Lunch Buddies program are Ganiard, Pullen, Vowles and Morey Public School Acad-emy and Saginaw Chippewa Academy.

Some volunteers are not assigned a specific student to be “buddies” with, but all of them mentor and are responsible for being a good example to the kids.

“For me it’s the experience to be able to make a difference in a child’s life that they might not have had without this program,” said Sault Ste. Marie sophomore Emma Harrington, a new member of the program.

Lunch Buddies promotes nutrition by encouraging the CMU students to pack a wholesome lunch to eat with their buddy.

“Healthy eating is so important, especially with obesity being such a problem,” Harrington said. “That’s one thing we stress, is setting a good

This year, written applications are due by Nov. 25. The application calls for basic information, including campus involvement and leadership experience. 1

One-on-one interviews will take place Jan 19-23. Applicants are interviewed by members of Core Staff, or “guides to the guides.” Typical interview questions are asked. 2

Spring trainings consist of six dates. After the first three trainings, final staff is selected. This year, the trainings are on Feb. 1, 11 and 22 and typically last 2-3 hours. Facilitating and debriefing skills are the emphasis of these trainings.3

Fall training begins Aug. 18-21, the week before Safari begins. Essentially, guides go through their own safari and bond with their core teams. 4

Safari begins on Aug. 22.5ship Safari, she is still involved else-where on campus. Agby is a biomedical science major and psychology minor, and is involved in the Pre-Med and Os-teopathic Society, as well as serving on the Homecoming committee. President of Campbell Hall.

“Safari is for everyone, and no matter how shy you are, Safari will break you

out of that shell,” she said. “The things you learn in Safari help you out in col-lege and in the real world, as well.”

Holland sophomore Eve Parker loved being a part of Leadership Safari. She took part on Safari her freshman year, as a member of Team Bear.

“I liked it a lot,” she said. “I felt like it made it easier to meet people and make

friends. My guide was also really great. He did a great job of making sure we all participated and were included.”

Novi senior Savannah Green also participated in Leadership Safari her freshman year, as part of Team Cougar.

“I really liked it,” she said. “It is really great for freshmen to get involved and get acclimated to campus.”

with an attendance policy because elementary students expect their buddy to arrive every Friday. In most cases, the CMU volunteer ends up benefitting and growing from the program along with their buddy.

Besides providing personal growth and the opportunity for a fun volunteer experience, Lunch Buddies connects CMU to the Mount Pleasant commu-nity.

“To actually get them connected to the community is really cool. They kind of have to adjust to the different

elements so they kind of have to grow as a person through those challenges,” Newman said.

Students must apply annually for the Lunch Buddies program, or sign a letter of intent to continue volunteering with the program when school ends.

Legends of the dark tours back to haunt campusIt’s dark. It’s spooky. It’s full of

surprises that will scare the socks off of some people.

Legends of the Dark is hosted by Central Michigan University’s Trout Hall, starting Oct. 22 -24. This event serves as a fundraiser for local charities.

Ticket sales have already started. They can be purchased at the front desk of Trout Hall for $3 in advance. At the door, it will cost $5. Although the public is welcome to attend, it is advised children under 13 not attend.

Every night from 7:30-10:20 p.m., students will leave every 10 minutes from the Down Under Food Court in the Bovee University Center. Tour guides will take the spectators through the campus. Tours last for an hour.

During those tours, spooky stories about CMU will be told. Ann M. Krzyzaniak, the Trout Residence Hall Director, said this event is a great volunteering experience for those who decide to give the tours. It is also enjoyable for the students who decide to go on the tours because of the things they learn about CMU.

“Trout Hall hosts the event, so most of the volunteers come from Trout. We also have a great relationship with the Health Professions Residential College, so they’re a great help in putting on the tours, “ Krzyzaniak said. “It’s an event in which students get to learn about CMU folklore. It’s a great volunteer opportunity for a lot of those programs that need service learning hours and we raise funds for local charities.

One of the volunteers, Andrea Dreyer, said she really enjoys being a part of a great philanthropic opportunity.

“All of our funds go towards Relay for Life, Adopt-A-Family and other philanthropies,” the Cedar Springs junior said. “I have enjoyed attending the tour my freshman year, being a tour guide last year, and now helping to organize this year”.

Taryn Wattles | Assistant Photo EditorPanel members (from left to right) Corey Hartwell, Vanessa Grover, Richelle Vellier, and Curt Schneikr kept conversation light with jokes during the Stuttering Awareness Panel Tuesday in Pearce Hall. The panel, comprised of eight women and men ranging in ages who have gone through speech therapy for their stuttering, answer questions from the audience to spread awareness about stuttering.

By Brianne TwiddyStaff Reporter

Corey Hartwell remem-bers going into his old speech therapy sessions feeling like he was going into a dark room, being told what was wrong with him and a simple list of ways how to fix it.

“They didn’t say that obvi-ously, but it felt like that. It was all fluency training and easy onset things and you’d go there and learn how to say words correctly and then you’d just leave,” the Gladwin senior said.

He stopped attending his speech therapy sessions in high school, feeling like it was no longer helping him. He found that what he needed to work on the most wasn’t going to be fixed by therapy, but by learning how to control it himself and deal with the mental struggle that having a stutter entails.

“I put myself in a better place when it came to my stuttering and realized why I was so negative about it,” Hart-well said. “Once I did that, it became a lot easier for me and it wasn’t such a big deal.”

Students and communi-cations disorder professor Sue Wood discussed speech impediments at a stuttering awareness panel discussion, Tuesday in Pearce 128.

Vanessa Grover, a gradu-ate student from Holly, has

been stuttering since she was three years old. She began therapy with a fluency focus and making sure she was using techniques to be smooth with her speech.

“That in turn interrupted some parts of my life and made me feel really down about it, so when I started at Central, I was connected with Dr. Sue and worked on a lot of emo-tional based things,” Grover said.

It’s the emotional-based things that are often the big-gest struggle for those with a stutter. The stutter itself is just the tip of what is referred to as the “iceberg” of stuttering.

Communications disorder professor Sue Woods explains that while you may see the tip of the iceberg, it’s the things under the surface, often feel-ings of fear, shame, guilt, anxi-ety, and isolation, that need to be addressed the most.

Grover recalls the denial she felt during her initial meet-ings with Woods. She went in determined to stay “tough” and managed to keep the resistance up until one day, when Woods brought out a big green chair.

“She said ‘this is your stut-tering. This is your big, green, ugly monster, or better yet, your old speech professor.’ But so I had to stare and create this image in my head. I remember trying to be so tough and just thinking ‘I don’t like you’ and

Dr. Sue told me I had to get real here,” Grover said. “It took a while again and I finally just released everything and it was probably the best feeling, releasing all those negative emotions.”

Not everyone who attends therapy get the same emo-tional recovery as Grover did. Many of those with a stutter end up quitting therapy from either a bad experience or because they don’t feel like it’s beneficial. High schooler Braden Weber stopped at-tending once he felt like he was relying too much on his therapist.

“I would say to keep a journal [if you don’t attend therapy]. Since I cut myself off of therapy, I think that the most noticeable difference is that I don’t get to talk about it as much and that I think has a negative impact,” he said. “Keeping a journal is just talking to yourself I guess, but it’s still talking to someone. I noticed that when I kept one, I noticed things I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.”

Richelle Vallier, a Portland senior, advises friends of those with a stutter to not be afraid to ask questions.

“Don’t be afraid to ask us anything...I get so excited when they’re worried that I’ll get upset over something,” she said. “It’s always comforting when people want to know more about it.”

Evan SasielaStaff Reporter

On a chilly Sunday afternoon, hot bats were scorching soft-balls high into the air toward Broomfield Road.

Central Michigan University hosted a home run derby for students Sunday at the univer-sity’s intramural fields. Out of eight competitors, senior Chase McLennan, 25, took home the crown, tallying a total score of 32 total points, including 13 in the final round.

“The pitching was really good,” McLennan said. “The first two rounds are timed so it really depends on your pitcher. If you find a pitcher who can’t throw you a strike it’s very dif-ficult. The wind blowing out to left field definitely helped.”

Scott George, assistant direc-tor for competitive IM sports,

and IM Supervisor Jeff Mall-nowski led the event. George judged balls in the outfield while Mallnowski kept time.

Each participant got a chance to hit as many home runs as they could in 90 sec-onds during the first round. If the ball went over the outfield’s black padding it would be worth one point. If it surpassed the fence completely, it would count as two points.

The top five point-getters moved onto the final round, where the element of time was eliminated each hitter got seven outs to score as many points as they could.

Group A featured Jeff Hamil-ton, Jacob Barger, and Spencer Gregory. Group B included McLennan, Matt Mertz, and Shane O’Mara. Group C con-sisted of the duo of Taylor Kuhn and Chad Neal.

Mertz totaled 18 points, hit-ting the ball all the way out to Broomfield Road on one swing. Neal came in second during the first round with 12 points.

McLennan struggled in the first round, finishing with five points. However, he had the high in the sec-ond round, totaling 14.

“I play in the IM (softball) leagues and I never hit one out before today,” McLennan said. “It’s good to get a bunch of balls to swing at and once you get in a groove it feels good.”

McLennan won the derby scoring 13 points before he reached seven outs.

His grand prize was a t-shirt. The Rogers City native cel-ebrated his victory by playing with his friends in an intra-mural softball game before heading home to watch Sunday Night Football.

(MCT)Oct. 21--GUILDFORD,

England -- Calvin John-son wore receiver gloves and his familiar No. 81 jersey as he made his way through a tunnel of screaming grade-school students at the Surrey Sports Park for today’s NFL Play 60 event.

But a couple hours after the Detroit Lions landed in London for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons (9:30 a.m., Fox), Johnson gave no real clue as to whether he’ll play.

“I’m going to say the same thing every week,” Johnson said. “I’m getting better, I’ll tell you that much. Moving around a lot more, so I’m feeling good.”

Johnson, who has missed two straight games with an injury he originally suffered a month ago today, said his sprained right ankle made it through the eight-hour flight from Detroit with-

out any issues. He walked without a limp as he helped run drills with de-fensive end Larry Webster and other teammates.

The Lions are 2-0 without Johnson, beating the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints on consecutive weekends when their offense strug-gled to sustain drives.

Johnson said the fact that the Lions (5-2) have won two straight and remain tied atop the NFC North with the Green Bay Packers will have no bear-ing on whether he plays Sunday.

The Lions have their bye next week, so Johnson essentially could have five weeks off if he doesn’t play against the Falcons.

“Like I say, I’m still working,” Johnson said. “I’m working to get a feel each and every week, working every day. If I’m good enough to play, I’m going to play. So I’m gonna leave it at that.”

Johnson first sprained his ankle in a Sept. 21 win over the Green Bay Pack-

ers. He played through the injury the next two weeks but hurt it again in the second half of a loss to the Buffalo Bills.

He hasn’t practiced since, though he said today that he is back to running around and progressed to a few field drills last week.

Golden Tate, who has starred in Johnson’s absence and had a career-best 10 catches for 154 yards Sunday against the Saints, said he’s hopeful that Johnson will return this week.

“That’s up to the doc-tors,” Tate said. “I know he’s on this trip. He looks good in the training room, so I’m hoping that he’s back. I’m trying to give best-case scenario; he’s going to be back out there, and we definitely need him out there, especially this week. But that’s the doctors’ vision, and we’re going to see.”
