Mount Pleasant junior Samantha Pina and her brother Joseph Pina, a senior, watched their competitors in the New Venture Competition cross the stage to be given one large check after another.

After not passing the second round, they weren’t confident they would be given one of the eight awards. Suddenly, the name of their business, Revolve Replication, echoed over the loudspeaker. The siblings shot each other a look of disbelief before head-ing toward the small stage to accept their $10,000 award for the Most Impact on Michigan.

“It took me a second to register they said Revolve Replication and I think we both didn’t believe it at first,” Samantha said. “It’s more (a feeling of ) shock and excitement. It’s a little bit of everything thrown into one.”

The goal of the New Venture Com-petition is to help students launch start-up businesses in Michigan. The competition is coordinated by the College of Business Administration and the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship.

Aspiring entrepreneurs spent seven months preparing for Friday’s event through workshops with faculty, experienced entrepreneurs, mentors and alumni to turn their concepts into actual sustainable busi-

nesses. More than 70 students from 27 teams competed.

After the first round, a panel discus-sion titled “Lessons Learned from En-trepreneurs” was held in the French Auditorium. Additional seats were

brought in due to the overflow of stu-dents interested in the panel, which hosted 10 entrepreneurs, including keynote speaker Enrico Digirolamo, Chief Financial Officer of Covisint.

“Making a mistake now is better

then making the right decision three months from now,” said Co-founder and Executive Chief of foodjunky Travis Johnson.

research Q&AAnimal research is con-

ducted at Central Michigan University for a wide variety of reasons. Read about one graduate students work on 2B.

By Grant LefaiveStaff Reporter

The cost of animal research will be partially shifted to faculty under a new per diem policy. At the start of the next fiscal year, faculty will be charged 16 cents daily per cage in the university’s vivariums, which are habitats for the animals used for research.

Ian Davison, interim vice president for research, said the policy is a sign of progress in research at Central Michi-gan University. The funds generated by per diems will be used to expand vivarium lab space to alleviate issues with overcrowding in the labs.

“I think the opportunities for research with students will increase,” he said. “We have a commitment as an institution to make sure faculty work and research is connected to the undergraduate experience. By supporting faculty research, we are increasing the educational opportuni-ties for students, who can then work with somebody who is doing work at the forefront of science. That is an invaluable experience.”

One cage consists of two rats or four mice, and the total cost of main-taining each cage is $1 per day under the current policy. The Health Profes-sions Vivarium has 400 cages of mice

and 250 cages of rats in enclosed areas designated for keeping and raising animals for research.

Before the new policy, the uni-versity covered the full cost of every animal in every cage. However, faculty are now expected to allocate funds from their research grants and other revenues to maintain animals they use for research. This cost will rise in the next fiscal year, doubling to 32 cents per day in July and 48 cents in 2016.

The vivarium operates with a yearly budget between $192,000 and $222,000. Per diems generate $20,000 to $30,000 but this will increase as the rate climbs, with the goal of generat-ing $60,000 to $70,000 in the 2017 fiscal year.

Neuroscience Program Direc-tor Gary Dunbar said he disagrees. Undergraduate programs, which are a staple in CMU’s pedagogy, may be harmed by the additional costs of research, he said.

“If you make the price tag high

enough, only those with external funding can afford to do the research and those lacking funding but who want to offer undergraduates with research opportunities will no longer be able to do so,” Dunbar said. “Most other universities with high per diems have a dismal track record for involv-ing undergraduate students in this type of research relative to what we have provided our students at CMU.”

The neuroscience program won the Undergraduate Neuroscience Program of the Year in 2013. Gradu-

ates and undergraduates often work together with faculty in the labs.

“I started in the lab my freshman year. I began by shadowing and learn-ing, and I got my own project last year,” said Holland senior Sabrina Parker.

Per diems mark an expansion of CMU’s animal research, but the cost to faculty will drastically increase.

“We are at a very transitional period for the university,” said said neurosci-ence faculty Yannick Marchalant. “The

A two-minute Make-A-Pitch competition took place in the French Auditorium before the final round, which featured the final teams Episcura, Beergo and HydroGuide.

The judges looked for a combination of factors based on experience. They checked to see if students made an investable business idea and looked for a prototype of cus-tomer validation. Judges based their decisions on students working beyond just think-ing of the idea, said Executive Director for the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship Debra Zellner.

“Many of the judges judge on two or three criteria, pro-tecting intellectual property, if the preposition is unique, and often they will judge not so much on the business tech-nique but their personality as well,” said Dean of College of Business Administration Charles Crespy. “Competitors have to demonstrate enthusi-

asm and a passion and fire for their business idea. Often, you bet as much on the person as you do the business idea.”

The competition was an improvement from previous years, according to Crespy, as it “gets a little better” every year. The quality of competitors is only expected to increase in the years ahead, he said.

“I think the competition

has gone excellently,” said the Chairperson for the Depart-ment of Entrepreneurship Kenneth Sanney. “We’ve had some teams that didn’t make it to the finals that have con-nected with the entrepreneurs from across the state that will help their businesses grow. This isn’t about one team win-ning, but the opportunity for a lot of teams to network.”

Researchers at Central Michigan University use ro-dents and other animals to find solutions to behavioral and medical issues found in humans.

Behavioral analyst Eric French found his niche at labs in CMU in his early twenties. Central Michigan Life sat down with the Ob-long, Ill. graduate student to talk about his research on rats and pigeons in a CMU operant lab.

How do you feel about animal testing? Are you okay with the ethical im-plications?FRENCH: To a degree. I

would not let just anybody work with my rats. We have

to maintain a high stan-dard; one because we don’t want any protests, and two because healthy, well taken care of rats give the best data. If I ever saw anybody mistreating my rats they wouldn’t be working in a lab again. I’m not okay with just anybody doing it, it has to be done with care. But if it is done with care, then yes, I think it’s perfectly ethical.

What is the project you are working on right now?

We’re looking at the presence and severity of hangovers in young rats as compared to old rats. How we tell that is we give them a bottle of alcohol for about 30 minutes a day, and re-cord how much they drink. Of course if you’re hun-

gover the next day, alcohol is probably not the thing you want. If they drank a lot yesterday and didn’t drink a lot today, we infer that is the hangover effect. We don’t think we’ll see that in young rats, but in old rats we expect to.

What are you trying to learn from your study?

The theory goes that if alcoholism starts when you’re young, it may be be-cause you don’t experience these hangovers. We just don’t think young rats and young humans have neural pathways that respond to hangovers.

So students have worse hangovers to look for-ward to?

That’s the other thing, if you drink a lot as a young

person, it may inhibit the development of those neural pathways. So even if you continue to drink while you’re older, it won’t hurt as much because they just never developed, whereas if you took somebody that is 21 years old and had their first drink of alcohol, they’ve developed those pathways.

What was your best

project as an undergradu-ate student?

We did one study on traumatic brain injury. It got a big grant from the military. Ever since the war in Iraq, they’re interested in traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic stress disor-der. We give half the rats a brain injury and leave the other half uninjured. Then we measure their impulses,

like responses to fox urine. Rats hate fox urine.

Did you always know you were interested in psychology, human or otherwise?

I just stumbled upon it. I had a 2.5 GPA in high school. I was a good college student though. I started at community college, took a psychology class, and all of a sudden it was the first time I found myself reading the textbook outside of class. I took a general interest, but I didn’t want to be a coun-selor, so I didn’t see it going anywhere. I plan to work in academia and continue my research. I’ve been a teach-er’s assistant and I’ve taught before, but mainly I enjoy the research. I’d like to stay with rats and pigeons.

university is trying to build a research program that is more broad and the only way you can do this is bringing more money into research. Obviously we want to reach the point of other big universities, but it is a long road and that road for us is paved with many problems. If per diems are not proportionate with the reality, with how many grants (principle investigators) have, you might actually block research from happening.”

The Health Professions vivarium is a centralized location for research involv-ing cognition, memory, motor skills, behavioral conditioning

and coordination with the use of rodents. CMU does not publish locations of the vivaria around campus due to security concerns. Davison said the risk of activist interference with research or harm to the facili-ties is real. The Institutional Animal Care and Use Com-mittee regulates university animal testing and ensures that animals are not unethically or frivolously tested.

All tests are monitored from outside the testing room via monitor.

Principle investigators use tools like Skinner Boxes, behavioral conditioning con-tainers that reinforce specific behaviors with treats, Over time, the behavior will start at something simple, but becomes more complex in order to re-ceive positive reinforcement.

The first day, a mouse will have to click the lever twice, but by the 10th day they will have to push it 312 times to receive the reinforcement.

The Morris Water Maze, a test for mice and rats, is a test of memory. Mice and rodents

are placed in a tub filled with water and must navigate toward a platform to avoid fatigue. After several trials, the platform is used and the rodent must use visual cues to relocate it. Animals with Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s or other impairments will have difficulty with this task.

The cylinder test, which involves supervising a rodent treading water in a small container, is a test of anxiety. Rodents are strong swimmers, Marchalant said, so research-ers know they have an impair-ment if the rats panic.

Dunbar said neuroscience’s ability to provide research opportunities to undergradu-ates in an economically feasible way over the past decade is what has made it a nationally recognized program.

“To suggest that adding per diems will provide more opportunities for undergradu-ate research is, in my opinion and those of many of my colleagues, contrary to what is happening elsewhere,” Dunbar said.

Flags at halF mast For

michigan marinesState buildings across

Michigan, including the Capitol, will lower their flags to half-mast Monday at the order of Governor Rick Snyder, honoring three Michigan Marines who died during a training exercise in Florida.

Trevor Blaylock, of Lake Orion, Andrew Seif, of Holland and Marcus Bawol, of Warren were three of 11 men who died on the March 10 when a Black Hawk helicopter plunged into the ocean just off the Florida Panhandle.

The lowering of flags for servicemen killed in training, rather than combat, is relatively unprecedented in Michigan. As they stand, current flag protocols state that flags are to be displayed at half-mast to honor, “members of our Armed Forced killed in the line of duty.”

Seif was awarded the Silver Star Medal less than a week prior to the crash, and was named Marine of the Year in 2013. The other casualties of the crash include four additional Marines and four Louisiana National Guard soldiers.

From late Saturday night until early Sunday morning, more than 2,000 stu-dents enjoyed a wide range of festivi-ties at Up All Night hosted by Student Activities and Involvement.

“We want a way for students to have fun on campus alcohol free, to blow off some steam and have some fun with friends in a positive atmo-sphere,” said Marketing Coordinator Rachel Quinn.

There was an array of activities for students to take part in throughout the night, from trying flavored oxygen and laser tag, to a DJ.

“My favorite things were the danc-ing and henna tattoos,” said China graduate student Kaili Zong.

Students were granted free submis-sion with their student IDs. Commu-nity members were admitted for $5. Guests had access to a variety of free food from Mount Pleasant restaurants, including McDonald’s, Little Caesars, Insomnia Cookies and Dog Central.

“The music, the dancing and the cookies were my favorite part” said Midland freshman Monyca King.

Other students were excited to

experience something new aside from their usual weekend activities.

“I came because I was tired of Wayside, and the cookies were defi-nitely my favorite thing,” said Macomb sophomore Nino Martino.

Other popular activities included putt putt golf, volleyball, Texas Hold’em Poker, inflatables, hacky sack, a photobooth, Bingo, Xbox 360 and a dive-in movie. Students were able to relax in the pool with floating tires and enjoy a showing of “The Hobbit.”

“(I came for) the fun and festivities and being around all the other fellow chips,” said Spring Lake sophomore Shayna Haynes Heard. “I just wanted to have a good time.”

The Up All Night event kept stu-dents entertained until 3 a.m.

Students also left with handfuls of coupons to use in Mount Pleasant.

With the recent increases in minimum wage, the Central Michigan University Recre-ation Department has restrict-ed expenses to remain within its budget.

“Having a department where you have to pay 300 employees has way more of an impact (when wages are increased) than other departments with say two to three employees.” said Jeff Cal-houn, director of marketing and business for UREC.

Each division of UREC oper-ates under its own budget. This year the Student Activity Center has a budget of $1.87 million, the Events Center has $204,000 and the Events and Conferences De-partment receives $756,000.

“The budget this year is slightly higher than previous years due to compensation and benefits for staff,” said Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of UREC. “After covering staff salaries, along with things like supplies for offices, facilities, custodial and maintenance costs, there isn’t a lot of leg room.”

Minimum wage increased from $7.40 per hour in 2013 to $8.15 per hour in 2014-15. UREC pays $875,000 to professional staff and $250,000 is given to student staff annually. While minimum wage has increased, the department’s budget hasn’t increased to com-pensate the statewide change.

In Michigan, minimum wage is scheduled to increase every January over the next four years. According to the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, Mini-mum wage will be $8.50 in 2015, $8.85 in 2016 and $9.20 in 2017.

Although the increase in wages has left little room for expenditures, UREC has made no drastic changes to their budget.

“There have been no massive cutbacks, just changes to the overall strategy and reprogram,” Shingles said. “For example, areas where we used to have two employees we now have one, where we had six we now have four, etc.”

UREC has been able to rely on memberships, sponsorships and facility rentals from external help. They have received assis-tance from alternative projects which have provided funding for gym equipment, irrigation projects and new turnstiles at the SAC.

There will be no cut backs on facility hours or programs.

“No matter the budget, our overall goal is to fulfill students recreational needs,” Shingles said.

From providing access to healthcare in Belize to devel-oping a social media presence for a rotating homeless shelter, students impact communities across the world.

According to Central Michigan University Service-Learning Coordinator Travus Burton, academic service-learning projects begin with genuine community need. Projects are completed within the context of a course, mean-ing service meets community need and class objectives.

“Wherever there’s a need, there’s a potential for service to be pro-vided,” Burton said. “We don’t want to take work from professionals and we don’t want to put students in the position where they’re not really serving a need either. Finding the right fit can be a fine line.”

Burton said he wants to ensure students serve a genuine need to truly assist the community they work in.

Students apply their course ex-perience in service. Interior design and art education students worked to renovate a library, a social media class provided social media services to a rotating homeless shelter and a human resources class trained vol-unteers and public relations students created promotional plans.

“The best (projects) are com-munity development projects: things that may not be there yet or may be new developments to the community,” Burton said. “No one else is doing this. Your service is absolutely needed.”

When developing projects, Bur-ton either talks to faculty members about what they want to do and finds a community partner or talks to a community partner and finds a faculty member who could teach a course to help meet their need. Faculty members can apply for the service-learning SL course designa-tor, though many courses without this designator have service-learn-ing components.

Projects teach students about more than just their field of study, Burton said. Collaboration through service-learning is powerful, because people have different skills which can address the complexities of an issue in different ways.

“If you really think about it in the larger scope, there are not many societal problems or issues that are solved by one discipline,” Burton said. “The world doesn’t really work in terms of one discipline; that’s just a neat way we’ve been able to categorize knowledge for our own benefit. It doesn’t reflect the needs in the world that need to be addressed.”

He said service-learning allows

Service learning pairs student experience with community need

students to apply skills they’ve learned in class to a real-world issue that might not have an ideal solution.

Newaygo junior Mary Ann Franks has done service work in Oaxaca and Honduras and will be going to the Dominican Republic this summer. She said it’s a completely different experience from sitting in class and reading a book.

“It’s very hands-on,” she said. “You get to go there and see it.”

Amber Schneider, assistant director of Study Abroad, said students are sent to Oaxaca every summer to maintain a longstanding relationship.

“We have a really continued pres-ence where we’re always going back and contributing, really making sure we’re not just going in for a minute and leaving,” Schneider said.

Holt junior Amanda Viges went on the Oaxaca trip. She said when they first arrived, everyone was worried about lice children in the orphan-ages had. As the trip continued, Viges learned people shouldn’t let their ini-tial judgements get in the way of ex-periencing and learning. As they got to know the children, Viges said they realized that getting lice wouldn’t be the end of the world.

“I have a whole new respect and appreciation for Mexican culture,” Viges said.

Viges said she loves music, so when they first arrived, she sang a simple song she knew in Spanish to break the language barrier, and making music became a tradition during the trip.

Megan Doerr, Study Aboard faculty-led program coordinator, said a faculty-led program in Belize provides rural medical clinics to people. Patients are waiting in line when the students arrive because that might be their only access to healthcare that year.

“Some of them I talked to, they don’t have the money to buy medicine,” said Kalamazoo senior Blade Rohloff. “They

don’t have the capability of go-ing to a doctor every time they’re sick.”

He said it’s strange to think some people would have to travel across the country to have surgery or see a doctor.

When Doerr went to Belize with students, she said students realized they needed to understand the culture to truly serve there.

“These students were able to come to the realization that you can’t just walk into an area and think you see a need and serve and be able to fulfill that need,” Doerr said. “They were able to see that you really need to work within the culture, within the local commu-nity, to serve a need.”

Though some service projects are not long term on the surface, the proj-ects can help students continue to do service work in the future.

“I think this helps create the next generation of engaged citizens,” said Erica Johnson, assistant director of the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. “We’re helping our community now, but we’re also helping our future com-munities by helping people become engaged alumni and citizens.”

The Volunteer Center works with community partners to determine need then recruits students to address those needs.

The Office of Study Abroad also coordinates with people in the location to determine need.

“(CMU faculty) are always working with someone on the group there, so an organization, a hospital, or a school in the area and those people who are actually on the ground living there are going to determine what the need is,” Doerr said.

Letter to the editor

To The ediTor:This February, my students

joined their peers across the country to celebrate Black History Month. In my classroom, we do this in a number of ways. After our daily warm up activity, individual students presented on famous Afro-Latinos and then we came together to explore their contributions and impact. Every year, I’m surprised to see my students’ surprise when they learn about a the many accom-plishments and contributions to society of blacks around the world

— not because those stories are in short supply, but because success stories of people of color too often go untold.

As a Teach For America alumna now teaching for my eleventh year in Baltimore, I’ve seen first-hand how intimately familiar my students are with the low expec-tations society has mapped out for them. They refer to the white, wealthier suburbs of the city as if they’re some sort of promised lands. They hear about schools, houses and opportunities bet-

Understand the past, empower the future

ter than their own. They read the #blacklivesmatter tweets, but question how true they really are.

In the face of these realities, we have no time to waste. This school year marked the first in which the majority of public school students are minorities. We have a respon-sibility to work to ensure that each and every one of them is moving through a system that affirms their identities, shows them they’re valued, and allows them access to the opportunities they have been denied for far too long.

While the “whites only” signs of the 60s have come down, the reality of separate and unequal endures. Alongside glaring gaps in educa-tional, employment and economic opportunity, people of color in this nation face a variety of subtler, but

no less damaging, assumptions. A successful black lawyer hears whispers of affirmative action. A young black boy on a corner is seen as “lurking,” while his white peers “hang out.” A black college student is asked to give “the black perspec-tive” to a seminar full of white stu-dents who are never asked to speak on behalf of their entire race.

We have a long way to go as a country before we truly achieve justice for all. To fix the systemic oppression that has created the gross inequality of the present will take the hard, dedicated work of countless leaders and change-makers — many who have experi-enced it first-hand, others who bear witness to it from farther away. We must work toward these long-term changes as well as the immediate,

urgent opportunities to change the way our students view themselves and their futures.

As teachers, we can play a central role in this. Every day, we can remind our kids that their thoughts, ideas, identities and opinions are important. We can share our own stories so that when our kids look to the front of the room, they see a little bit of themselves reflected back. We can remind them that they matter, that they always have and that they always will.

Everything makes a little more sense when I’m laying in a tent under the stars.

It was a week before I turned 18 that I decided my birthday should be spent with close friends and a couple of tents. I was heading off to college in two weeks and I wanted to relieve some stress before entering the most important years of my life.

The day before I entered adult-hood, I packed a car with my sister and two close friends and immersed myself in the natural beauty of northern Michigan.

We had spent most of the day hik-ing through the trails of Manistee, in search of perfect ground to set up camp. It was three hours into the hike when we finally found a spot overlook-ing the river.

We ate a gourmet dinner of canned beans and ramen noodles as a roaring fire kept us company while the sun set. Our shadows cast over the tents as we started to reminisce about our senior year of high school and the countless memories we made over the summer.

I crawled into the tent occupied by my sister, Hawra, and my friend, Katie, and fell asleep within a few hours.

I woke up at 3 a.m. and decided to remove the tent’s cover. I stared into the star cluttered sky hoping to find an answer to a question I had been avoiding all day.

“So what now?” I had turned 18 but I felt the same.

Where was the wisdom I was prom-ised once I entered adulthood?

Staring aimlessly at the painted ar-ray of lights above me, I realized I was pretty happy without an answer. I had escaped to the woods to find the cour-age to face college and adulthood.

I chased the whispers that I’d hoped would guide me through the worries and concerns of leaving home and my friends.

But the stars painted me a different answer that night. They told me adult-hood isn’t something that clicks your first couple of weeks of college or after 18 years of life.

The tall trees that circled me showed me that only time grants experience and wisdom. The smell of the earth and the bristle breeze washed away my worries and I fell back to sleep.

Now two years into college, I find sanity in moments I get to spend out-side in the wilderness. That moment seems to find me alone in the woods, letting me know that the world is large and full of opportunities.

Everything will always end up alright. I just needed to spend the night in a tent to realize that.

Everything will be alright

editoriAL | Systemic issues prevent SGA from being a powerful voice

Abbie Robinson | Staff PhotographerStudent Government Association Student Body President Chuck Mahone welcomes students back for the spring semester on Jan. 26, in Anspach Hall.

The power and influence of SGA seems to be in decline. In the 2011 elections, only 542 out of more than 20,000 students voted.

The state of the organization is less than ideal, but with strong support from SGA representa-tives and student groups, President Chuck Ma-hone has a chance to use his second term to make a real impact at CMU.

We challenge Mahone and running mate, Maggie Blackmer, to fix the SGA. You have the opportunity to solve the problems that sometimes keep SGA from passing impactful legislation and being a powerful voice on campus.

First, we challenge SGA leaders to recruit a larger number of capable, dedicated senators and repre-sentatives. The Senate has gone into recess for the remainder of the semester due to a lack of quorum caused by academic issues and personal stress.

Mahone said in a candidate interview with Central Michigan Life that the recess is not concerning because the senate has completed its legislative work for the semester, but he also called it unacceptable.

We agree. The early recess of the Senate shows us deep, systemic issues with leadership and communi-cation between SGA leaders and senators. This needs to be fixed if the organization is to be effective.

Better recruitment strategies, in-depth legacy notes and training on senator job expectations would attract not only more, but the right kind of students to the organization. Senators who join SGA should be dedicated to doing their job and representing the student body. Leadership needs to hold them ac-countable for participating and not allow something like this recess to happen again.

Next, the SGA needs to improve its overall engage-ment with the student body. Leaders like Mahone have proven they can connect with registered student organizations, the Greek community and students already associated with SGA.

But students who do not belong to those organizations still have strong opinions about campus issues and policies. It is they who SGA should be reaching out to.

SGA’s $23,000 budget is lower than other Michigan universities — the Associated Students of

SGA reform necessary for progress

As this year’s Student Government

Association elections begin

today, the organization is faced

with only one candidate running

for president, an inactive Senate, a

comparatively low operating budget

and a general lack of student interest.

A cAll for

Michigan State University work with $1.6 million, and Saginaw Valley State University’s Student As-sociation has a $140,000 budget, making it difficult for SGA to even afford promotional materials.

However, utilizing social media is free and is the best way to disseminate information to students. Stronger social media engagement would allow SGA to gauge public opinion and build a relation-ship with students.

SGA’s official website seems not to have been updated since 2012. This is baffling. That must change if students are to be informed about what their representatives are doing.

Finally, we challenge SGA to initiate projects that

affect a larger number of students. Mahone’s goals for this and last election have been both tangible and realistic, but underwhelming. This year’s platform points — extended library hours, space request reform for RSOs and the inclusion of larger, wider desks — are all attainable ideas.

SGA needs to tap into the larger concerns that are important to the student body and make them the focus of their advocacy.

Mahone told Central Michigan Life in his candi-date interview that he believes he is worth the 24 credits of free tuition he is granted as SGA president.

We, and the other students at CMU, want to see you prove it.

Exhibits collected in the Clarke Historical Library take students and communi-ty members through some of Michigan’s most interesting periods in time.

The library features sev-eral interesting collections like the Native American Records, documentation of Ernest Hemingway’s time in Northern Michigan, an extensive collection of chil-dren’s books and Michigan’s Newspaper Preservation.

Young DaYs of ErnEst HEmingwaY

Hemingway, a famous 20th century author and journalist, spent most of his childhood years in Northern Michigan.

Hemingway spent sum-mers at his family’s cottage on Walloon Lake in Petosky. Clarke has records of the time he spent there and vari-ous activities like hunting, fishing and writing.

“Most people associate Hemingway with his home (in Oak Park, Illinois),” said Bryan Whitledge, reference specialist at Clarke. “Very few know of his roots plant-ed right here in Michigan.”

Clarke has records of items used by Hemingway and his family, manuscripts by people who knew the family and many other books, peri-odicals and photographs.

nativE amErican rEcorDs

Clarke Historical Library has the most complete col-lection of Native American

materials in the state.The collection includes

books, periodicals, manu-scripts, maps and graphics. The largest portion of the collection is the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Col-lection: Forty 600-700 page volumes of letters, speeches, reports and essays involv-ing Native Americans dating from 1650-1850.

“We love the rich history of Native Americans and their origins in Michigan,” said John Fiest, reference librarian.

There is a children’s litera-ture portion of the collec-tion, which focuses on books written by and for Native Americans.

An Indian Family History Collection has several manu-scripts that tribe members can use with the help of the Clarke Historical Library trace their family lineages.

EDucational BooksThe collection of educa-

tional books was started by Clarke Historical Library Director Frank Boles in 1998. Boles started the collection in honor of his wife’s passion for young children’s books.

There are five different exhibits involving books and the concept of one room schoolhouses.

The exhibits include teachers and their responsi-bilities, students, structures of a typical school day, the architecture and style of small school structures and the collection of books used by students and teachers.

“The books vary from kindergarten to sixth grade,” Boles said. “It is one of the

largest collections in the state.”

micHigan nEwspapEr prEsErvation

The Clarke Histori-cal Library has been self funding the preservation of Michigan’s newspapers onto microfilm since 1967. About 5.7 million papers have been preserved and the number is growing.

“Doing all this preserving, massive amounts of Michi-gan history can be saved for future generations,” said Kim Hagerty, microfilm services

specialist. “That is the main goal in doing all of this.”

Clarke employees are in the process of digitizing materials for online use. Digitized materials can be found on CMU’s online digi-tal repository CONDOR.

Clarke also heads the Michigan Digital Newspaper Grant, a contest where cities can enter their local newspa-pers and explain why their papers should be preserved online. Milford Times, this year’s winner, will have all its materials digitized and avail-able online.

A National Epidemio-logic Study on Alcohol and Related Conditions revealed almost half of college-age individuals had a diagnos-able psychiatric disorder in the past year.

Sandusky junior, and sec-retary of Central Michigan University’s chapter of To Write Love on Her Arms, Lindsay Ball said one of the main reasons mental ill-nesses among 18 to 25-year-olds may be because of changes occurring in their lives. These changes are handled differently and hold potential to trigger old issues to resurface or new issues to arise.

“I think a lot of people think it’s one traumatic thing that sparks the spiral downward, but it’s usu-ally a bunch of little things that can be too much for someone,” Ball said. “Any kind of stressor, from school to relationships, it’s kind of like a disease. It can be biological or hereditary. There’s a whole spectrum of things that can affect it, but it’s often a lot of things that spark it.”

There are groups on

campus dedicated to raising awareness and providing assistance to those strug-gling, including To Write Love, a group that provides help to people struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury and thoughts of suicide, and Yellow Ribbon, a suicide prevention group.

Despite the high numbers associated with mental ill-nesses among college-age students, a survey revealed less than 25 percent of the individuals suffering from a mental illness actually sought treatment.

“Not everyone may feel comfortable seeking out help and getting diag-nosed,” psychology profes-sor Stuart Quirk said.

A reason they may not feel comfortable reaching out for help may be because of the negative stigma at-tached to mental illnesses, Ball said. Because of this stigma, students “don’t real-ize that what they’re feeling isn’t normal” and assume that the feelings and issues will eventually just pass.

Another reason students may not seek help is out of fear of judgment from peers.

“It becomes this big stig-ma that everyone is dealing

with, but no one knows about. I think it’s the idea that they don’t want to get help because of what people will think if they come out and say they’re struggling,” Ball said. “The stigmas are all negative, so that’s how people view mental illnesses. Mental illnesses aren’t positive, but they’re not scary or unusual.”

There has been an in-crease of mental health ser-vices within the past three to four years, according to counseling center data. The Counseling Center, Hu-man Development Clinic and Psychological Training and Consultation Center are also available for those seeking help.

“It takes a lot of strength and courage to face and deal with one’s problems,” said director of the counsel-ing center Ross Rapaport. “That’s a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness. We truly believe that here. We all have problems some-times, we all need help sometimes.”

Emergency sessions are available at the counsel-ing center throughout the day. If all slots are full, they will find a way to work the student in. The center is

open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

If an emergency occurs after those times, a 24-hour Listening Ear Crisis and Referral hotline is available at 989-772-2918.

Food got to the heart of important matters—and stomachs—as four Central Michigan University sorori-ties held their annual dinner fundraisers last week.

Each of the sorority houses raised funds for their chap-ters’ respective philanthro-pies. Alpha Chi Omega raised $3,600 and Alpha Gamma Delta raised $1,578. Sigma Sigma Sigma’s results are still being counted. Phi Mu’s proceed results are unable to be released without permssion from the national chapter.

Alpha Chi Omega’s annual spaghetti dinner took place Wednesday and Thursday at their house at 916 Main Street. The funds will go toward the Mount Pleasant Women’s Aid Shelter in the spirit of the chapter’s philanthropic focus on domestic violence.

“Our biggest goal is break-ing the silence on Central Michigan’s campus,” said Alison Kozerski, Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy chair. “It is a very sensitive topic, but one in four women will expe-rience domestic violence, and it is even more predominant on college campuses.”

Kozerski said putting on Alpha Chi Omega’s spa-ghetti dinner was hectic but enjoyable.

“You walk in the back of the kitchen, the music is blaring and there is a million people,” the Northville sophomore said. “It’s crazy, but is really fun. It’s nice when friends from the Greek community come out to support (our) philanthropy, or people that (we) don’t even know.”

Alpha Gamma Delta’s an-nual “Taco Dinner,” was held Wednesday and Thursday at the sorority house at 607 Main Street. Proceeds go toward the chapter’s national foundation, which works to spread diabe-tes awareness and education.

Alpha Gamma Delta’s phi-lanthropy chair, Shelby Limp-ert, said the taco dinner had a “good amount” of people dine for a good cause.

“There’s tons of reasons why sisters want to raise money for diabetes,” the Novi

junior said. “My grandma had diabetes, so I saw how it af-fected her.”

Sigma Sigma Sigma’s “Fourth Meal” was held Thursday at their house at 430 Main street. Proceeds will be donated to the Children’s Hos-pital of Michigan and serve terminally ill children.

“It is called Fourth Meal because our (dinner) hap-pens from 9p.m. to 2 a.m., so it is your fourth meal of the

day,” said Port Huron junior Madeline Price, vice president of Tri-Sigma’s operations.

Phi Mu’s “Coney Phi-land” took place Friday and was hosted in the sorority’s house at 802 Main Street. Donations go to the Phi Mu Foundation; for what use cannot be re-leased to Central Michigan Life without permission from the national chapter, to be gained this week.

School of Music hosts Saxophone Day in Staples Music Hall

By Paige SheffieldStaff Reporter

Staples Family Concert Hall was filled with saxo-phone music, Central Michi-gan University students, alumni and professors, along with visiting high school students and other guests at Saxophone Day.

School of Music faculty John Nichol and the CMU Saxophone Studio hosted the bi-yearly event. The event invited saxophonists from across the state, including high school students and alumni, to listen to guest artist Chien-Kwan Lin, learn more about the instrument and play in the Michigan Saxophone Ensemble at the end of the event.

“It’s a very exciting time for us, the Saxophone Studio at CMU, and also for our guests that come in, which include amateurs, high school students and professionals,” Nichol said.

Myles Boothroyd, CMU alumnus and Eastman School of Music graduate student, returned to CMU to perform on Saturday before Saxophone Day. The Saxophone Day guest art-ist, Lin, is his professor at Eastman.

Boothroyd said it was exciting to come back to CMU and see his former professor make in the recital halls he played in as an undergraduate and share his quartet’s music with CMU students.

Lin performed after critiqu-ing students in master classes on Saturday and Sunday.

““(Saxophone Day) is a nice way to collaborate with a wide variety of saxophonists,” Boothroyd said. “It gives students the chance to hear music from a guest artist and learn from a guest artist.”

Warren senior BethAnne Kunert, who is a student in the CMU Saxophone Studio, enjoyed hearing

critiques from Lin after performing a solo in the studio’s private master class Saturday. She performed with her quartet in a master class on Sunday.

“I love working with the guest artist and getting new opinions, new ideas and meeting the people in our profession who are the best at what they do,” Kunert said.

Warren freshman Grace Pawluszka also said she en-joyed learning from other saxophonists at the event.

“I think it’s a really cool learning experience having so many different levels here because you have high school kids, professors, col-lege students and every-body in between and it just brings everybody together,” Pawluszka said. “We can

play next to professionals and younger kids and learn from them.”

The CMU Saxophone Ensemble, directed by Nichol, was followed by the Michigan Saxophone Ensemble, which brought guest saxophonists on stage. With both calm and intense pieces throughout the event, the audience could see the variety of sounds the saxophone has to offer.

Even during the break be-tween the master classes and performances, the building was full of energy.

“I spent my life promoting the saxophone, hoping people like it, approve of it, like our instrument and like the music we play,” Nichol said. “It’s like a party for us. We have fun.”

Sue Guevara was given a $234,000 five-year con-tract through the 2019-2020 season. The eighth year women’s basketball coach will receive a base salary of $204,000 per year and an-other $30,000 for television, radio and other promotional appearances.

In her time in Mount Pleasant, Guevara has posted a 131-123 record in eight seasons as head coach of the Chippewas.

Guevara’s previous con-tract had a base salary of $194,500 and an additional $20,000 for promotional ap-pearances per year following an extension in October 2013.

“Longevity is really im-portant to a coach,” Guevara

said. “The support from the administration is so benefi-cial.”

The contract comes fol-lowing a season in which the Chippewas finished 13-18 overall, after injuries de-railed a promising season.

“When you have a year like we had where the expecta-tions were so high and adver-sity hits, it’s nice to know that your administration un-derstands the ups and downs that go with teams,” Guevara said. “The support gives you a peace of mind that they’re with you through thick and thin.”

The CMU women’s bas-ketball following has helped give Guevara support, too.

“That goes with all of our fans, and everything,” she said. “We’ve had some fans that have been there through

the good, the bad and the ugly. They’ve stayed on the ship, and that’s key.”

Athletics Director Dave Heeke said Guevara’s drive to get better each season is what justifies her pay increase.

“I am pleased to again illustrate our strong com-mitment to Sue Guevara and our women’s basketball program,” Heeke said in a statement. “Coach Guevara consistently displays out-standing energy and passion for Central Michigan Univer-sity, its student-athletes and the entire campus commu-nity.”

Guevara was quick to credit her coaching staff as a crucial piece to her success at CMU.

Women’s basketball standout Bradford’s career comes to a close

By Neil Rosan and Greg WickliffeStaff Reporters

A highly-acclaimed, yet inexperienced Crystal Bradford took the floor as a Chippewa for the first time early in the first half against the

Northwestern University Wildcats on Nov. 11, 2011. It marked the start of what would become the most

individually successful women’s basketball career in program history.

nOTaBle aCCOladeS: 2014 MAC Player of the Year, 2014 MAC Defensive Player of the Year, 2013-14 All-MAC First Team, In 2012 scored a CMU NCAA Tourna-ment record 36 points and added 14 rebounds and seven assists in first round of NCAA Tournament versus Oklahoma, named MAC Tournament MVP and All-MAC First-Team selection.

Bradford is the top scorer in Cen-tral Michigan University women’s basketball history with 2,006 points, 68 more than Sue Nissen who sits in second place. Bradford also is the program leader in field goals made, hitting 805 shots in four seasons.

At the 14:40 mark of that game against NU, Bradford drove into the lane, completed an acrobatic spin move and scored her first basket as a Chippewa. It was the first of many outstanding plays during a four-year tidal wave of points, assists, rebounds and defensive prowess.

“Being the best is what has kept me motivated,” Bradford said. “I’ve always wanted to be the best. I dreamed about being the best here. To see my dream come true is humbling.”

When she recruited Bradford as a senior at Inkster High School, Head Coach Sue Guevara knew the potential Bradford had at the col-legiate level.

“With any freshman coming into a new program, you have these ideas of how they’re going to progress,” Guevara said. “I knew Crystal was going to be a program changer and she has been.”

CoNtRoveRsy aNd INjUry

Serving three one-game suspen-sions during her CMU career, Brad-ford has matured since arriving in

Mount Pleasant, her coaches say. “It was a growing process,” Gue-

vara said. “She had to understand the choices she made, and understand the ramifications of the choices.”

A drunken driving charge in October 2013 was Bradford’s biggest off-the-court mistake during her time at CMU.

“She had to understand that she represented more than just herself. She represented the program,” Guevara said. “Eventually that sunk in with her.”

Suffering a season-ending knee

injury at the end of her ju-nior season, Bradford was unable to compete in the 2014 MAC Tournament that spring.

The women lost the first game they played in Cleveland that year, and Bradford embraced a different kind of lead-ership heading into her senior campaign.

“Recovery was a life les-son,” she said. “Basketball and life play a part with each other. Sometimes you will get at your peak and then you will take a tough loss. But you have to keep your head up and stay positive.”

Bradford’s knee injury bothered her throughout her senior season, and she watched the final few games of the 2014-15 campaign from the sidelines due to injury.

Not yoUraverage NUmBers

During her four seasons, Bradford scored more than 500 points twice. The 588 points she scored in 2013-14, her junior season, is the most by any CMU player ever.

A flair for the dramatic and poise under pressure helped Bradford and the Chippewas claim a MAC Tournament Cham-pionship at the end of her sopho-more season.

Returning to Mount Pleasant to play at Margo Jonker Stadi-um for the first time this season was supposed to be a special occasion the Central Michigan University softball team.

The Chippewas dropped both games of their double-header to Ball State Univer-sity by scores of 14-7 and 9-5 respectively, falling to 8-15 on the season and 0-2 in Mid-American Conference play.

“It’s always good to come back home, but it’s disap-pointing to me when we don’t play very well in front of our home fans,” Head Coach Margo Jonker said. “We have so much support from so many different people. It’s just so disappointing.”

Game 1 For six innings in game

one against the Cardinals it seemed as if the Chippewas would cruise to victory, scor-ing six runs in the bottom of the second inning.

CMU maintained a 6-3 lead, playing error-free going into Ball State’s final at-bat in the top of the seventh inning.

The Cardinals then scored 11 runs on seven hits, includ-ing a 3-run home run and won the game with a last-inning comeback.

“The whole thing broke down for us (in the seventh inning),” Jonker said. “We had a couple balls go through third base and, all of a sudden, it got in our heads a little bit.”

Game 2CMU grabbed the lead

early, scoring two runs in the second and third innings, only to have the Cardinals come back to score two in the third, fourth and sixth innings.

According to Jonker, de-fense and pitching were the two primary problems afflict-ing her team on Saturday.

“Our defense and pitching broke down,” Jonker said.

Offensive HiGHliGHts Despite the two home

losses at the hands of the

Cardinals, collectively the Chippewas tallied 21 total hits during the two games. Senior right fielder Kristen Kuhlman went 2-for-3 with three runs batted in during game one, which included a bases-clear-ing triple to put CMU up by a sizeable margin.

“There were a couple good things I saw out of (Kuhlman) and I’m really excited with the way she’s playing,” Jonker said.

Kulman’s batting average now leads the team at .346.

Junior second baseman Chelsea DeLamielleure,

whose average sits at .296 on the season, was another source of offensive stability in the two losses.

DeLamielleure smacked a home run to right center field during the Chippewas’ final at-bat of the afternoon, making her the team leader in home runs with three on the season.

She, along with freshman left fielder Lacy Tolfree and senior center fielder Sara Hansen had multi-hit games, with Tolfree and Hansen reaching base twice on a pair of base hits each.

“We have so much support from so many different people. It’s just so disappointing.”

In February, the Chippewas

saw their entire four-game trip to Tennessee canceled due to inclement weather. Now, almost a month later, CMU has seen four more games canceled.

These cancelations have been less than ideal for the squad. Leading up to the most recent string of dropped games, the Chippewas had a scheduled 11-day break as the team made it’s way back from Florida.

After playing 12 games in seven days, it was a deserved break for CMU, but the Chip-pewas were in for a bit of a surprise. The weather forced the team to rest for another three days, giving the play-ers a two-week break in the

middle of the season. Before the unexpected time

off, CMU was starting to gain some momentum.

The Chippewas were 6-4 in their last ten games. Pitchers Rachael Knapp and Hanna Warren combined to throw four complete game shutouts, while the Chippewas’ bats failed to score only once dur-ing the 10-game stretch.

Six different CMU batters had raised their batting averages above .250 and the team had an on base percentage of .329.

This all seemed to change when the streaking Chippewas were cooled off by the cold weather. In CMU’s first two games back following the break, the team was outscored 23-12 by the Ball State Cardinals.

This was surprising given the Chippewas had allowed 94 runs and held opposing batters to a .271 batting average leading up to the weekend series.

The CMU bats did not cool off as much during the break. The Chippewas combined for 22 hits on Saturday in 63 at bats, but did struggle during scoring opportunities with 12 runners left on base.

It seemed like the Chippe-was were out of sync and now must look to their upperclass-men to get the team back into a rhythm.

Junior Chelsea DeLamiel-leure went 3-for-4 and scored three times in the weekend’s final game. More performances like hers should help propel the Chippewas through the team’s midseason slip.

Wants You!

By Cody DeBonaStaff Reporter

Senior gymnast Kylie Fagan has been named a Second Team All-American Selection by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches.

Fagan is the first All-Amer-ican gymnast from Central Michigan University.

“I was in shock,” Fagan said. “Especially since it’s the first one this school has ever had.”

Fagan finishing the regular

season ranked No. 9 in the nation on uneven bars notch-ing a first-place finish on bars nine times. She scored five 9.9s and two 9.925s during her senior season bringing her average to 9.890.

Fagan and her five fellow seniors are leading CMU to the NCAA Regional Champi-onship on Saturday.

“I feel pride in myself and that I am able to help the team out on bars,” Fagan said.

Fagan is still searching for the elusive perfect 10. In her senior night meet

after her bars routine, the crowd roared with chants of “10, 10, 10.”

“It’s quite an honor,” Head Coach Jerry Reighard said. “She has done a great job and we can’t wait to put up her banner in (McGuirk Arena).”

Fagan found herself a single spot away from making the First Team All-American squad missing out by .05 on her regional qualifying score.

The Commerce native maintains a 3.7 GPA in her Early Childhood Develop-ment major.

Huntey powers team past Miami, baseball sweeps weekend seriesBy Taylor DesOrmeau

Staff Reporter

A shutout followed by a pair of one-run games helped Cen-tral Michigan baseball sweep Miami University on the road this weekend.

CMU is now 18-10 and 5-1 in the Mid-American Confer-ence while Miami (Ohio) falls to 4-19 and 2-4 in the MAC.

SundaYHead Coach Steve Jaksa

called Sunday’s matchup a “back and forth” game. After three lead changes over a one-and-a-half inning span, Chippewas emerged victori-ous, 8-7.

The first inning was near disastrous for CMU with a pair of errors and a RedHawk base hit, but senior catcher Tyler Huntey recorded two of the three outs in the inning, throwing out two runners try-ing to steal second base.

The Chippewas escaped allowing just one run.

“A lot of times you can’t re-ally see the runners running,” Huntey said. “You have to count on the dugout to let you know when they’re going to give you the best jump.”

Huntey threw out all four RedHawks that attempted a steal Sunday. The Stanwood native was just as effective at the plate as he was behind the plate, with a pair of doubles, three RBI’s and a run.

“He played at the champi-onship level,” Jaksa said. “He threw out runners all week-

end. That’s what guys need to do. Step up in big situations.”

Huntey scored a run to tie the game 1-1, drove in a run to tie it 2-2 and broke a 6-6 tie with a two-run double, which ended up being the game-deciding runs.

Junior pitcher Jason Gamble (4-1, 3.08 ERA) gave up six runs and eight hits over five innings Sunday, but still earned the victory. Junior pitcher Sean Renzi picked up his second save of the season with two scoreless and hitless innings.

CMU’s next game is Wednesday at the University of Michigan at 4:05 p.m.

SaturdaYThe Miami (Ohio) defense

had five fewer errors Saturday than it had Friday, but it was still a RedHawk defensive miscue Saturday that helped CMU win 4-3.

CMU trailed Miami (Ohio) 3-1 with two outs and nobody on in the sixth inning, but a rally was sparked by Huntey’s walk.

Junior outfielder Logan Regnier singled and a wild pitch allowed Huntey to score. Regnier would score to tie the game 3-3 on freshman desig-nated hitter Daniel Jipping’s base hit.

“It was very exhilarating the way we came back and won

that game,” said Head Coach Steve Jaksa. “They were fight-ing like hell to get this one.”

A trio of Chippewa singles in the seventh inning scored the winning run.

Freshman pitcher Sean Martens (3-0, 0.60 ERA) earned the win, pitching three innings and giving up one hit and no runs. Martens replaced the starter, junior Adam Al-dred, in the fourth inning.

FridaY Miami (Ohio) pitcher Ryan

Powers was drafted in the 22nd round of the MLB draft by the Philadelphia Phillies but it was CMU sophomore

pitcher Nick Deeg who shut down hitters Friday.

Deeg (4-2, 2.00 ERA) pitched a complete game shutout, al-lowing four hits and no walks while striking out six batters.

“He threw his changeup very well, I thought,” Jaksa said. “We played flawless defense, we

didn’t give up any errors. Then we start tacking on some runs, so we were able to keep the pressure on them and Nick was able to keep his focus.”

The Chippewa offense had no trouble, scoring in every inning but the second, third and ninth.

“She would always rise to the level of the team we were playing,” Guevara said. “The bigger the game, the better the performance.”

Senior forward Kerby Tamm was a freshman with Bradford, and said play-ing along side “CB23” was rewarding.

“I had a lot of fun playing with Crystal,” Tamm said. “She’s a great player and I wish her the best in the future.”

Defensive Dominance While Bradford’s offensive

stats broke records, what the fierce competitor did defen-sively sets her apart from other MAC standouts.

The program leader in rebounds and blocked shots, with 1,140 and 177 respec-tively, Bradford also ranks third all-time in steals with 278.

Her career rebounding tally is the greatest in CMU basketball history, beat-ing the likes CMU men’s basketball legends Chris Ka-man, Dan Majerle and Dan Roundfield.

“It’s fun to say I was able to out rebound Chris Kaman during my career,” Bradford said. “The fact that I’m a guard and I was able to get my rebounding down pat is a pretty good feeling.”

Bradford’s defensive ef-forts earned her the MAC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2014 to go with her conference player of the year honor.

“Her rebounding and steals records impress me because that speaks a little to her defensive abilities,” Gue-vara said. “She anticipates real well. When they decided to pass it, she was able to get a lot of steals. She is a good off-the-ball defender.”

HarDware collection The metro-native played

in two MAC Champion-

ship Games and brought the program its first conference tournament title since 1984.

Bradford claimed a gold medal for her victory with Team USA during the 2013 World University Games, where she hit the game-win-ning shot in the semi-finals

against Australia. “If I never play basket-

ball again, I can say I have lived a full life for the age I am at,” Bradford said. “I’m grateful for everything I have been able to do. I will still have a great legacy that I am proud of.”

“My staff can’t get lost in all of this because they do a tremendous job,” she said. “It’s good for them, too. It means that we’ve got roots in the ground here. It adds sta-bility to the whole program.”

The Saginaw-native guided CMU to four con-secutive 20-plus win seasons from 2010-2014, and in 2013, brought home the Chip-pewas first Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship since 1984.

Heading down tHe HomestretcH

By Greg WickliffeStaff Reporter

Nearly eight months ago, Crystal Bradford’s bas-ketball career took a turn for the worse.

After a summer of grueling rehabilitation, the reigning Mid-American Conference Player of the Year is back to prove she is still among the nation’s elite guards.

Last season’s Central Michigan University wom-en’s basketball team played in the MAC Tournament without Bradford. The Chippewas leader sat out due to a season-ending knee injury.

“I had a great support system,” Bradford said. “I had my family, I had my friends, I had my coaches and I had my trainer helping me get back to where I needed to go.”

The senior guard said she sees this as her second opportunity.

“Recovery was a life lesson,” she said. “Basket-ball and life play a part with each other. Some-times you will get at your peak and then you will take a tough loss. But you have to keep your head up and stay positive.”

That attitude helped the 2013 Olympic medalist cope with the frustration of dealing with the devas-tating setback.

“I just took it a day at a time,” Bradford said. “It wasn’t easy. Sometimes you can roll your ankle or something like that. A knee injury is nothing like that.”

Fellow senior Kerby Tamm said although Bradford is not at 100 percent, her presence and resiliency in the face of a destitute team sends a message to the rest of her counterparts.

“She brings such great energy to the floor,” Tamm said. “She’s a game changer. Having her go out last year was definitely a bum-mer for us. She’s on her way to coming back and making a great impact. We’re excited to have her back on the floor.”

Head coach Sue Guevara said that

she is being cautious about her best talent despite growing anticipation for her return to the court and the obvious on-floor influence she has.

“Crystal wants to get in all the time, but right now we are on a basis of three minutes in, and seven minutes out,” Guevara said. “I told her that the most im-portant thing is for her to be 100 percent on Jan. 3 when we open with Kent State.”

Being patient is not something that comes naturally for Bradford.

“It’s (Gue-vara’s) call,”

she said. “What she feels, I’m comfortable with. Just don’t keep me over there too long. I don’t want to get stiff. Coach knows when I’m ready to go, and if I’m sitting too long, I’ll let her know. I

trust her 100 percent.” Bradford said she has grown much more intellectually than she has physically from her

summer of rehabilitation. “I have grown mentally, spiritually and

I have grown to be a leader,” she said. “Sometimes you don’t have actions when you’re not able to play. So I have definitely learned to be a better leader.”

Bradford can not deny the sense of hesi-tation or doubt that creeps into her mind as she attempts to regain her natural aggression and scoring power.

“Sometimes getting back out there is so mental,” Bradford said.

“You have to remind yourself, ‘don’t limp, you’re ok you can

run, you don’t have to limp. I’m out there (on the court)

physically, I just have to get back out there mentally.”

As she enters her final year at CMU and her team

begins its run for a MAC title, Bradford asks fans

to consider one thing above all else.

“I want people to remember my heart,” she said. “I want people to re-member how hard I play and how I leave everything on the floor. I want you to get chills when you watch me play.”

Senior guard Crystal Bradford, a driving force in the MAC and in the Chippewas’ starting lineup, is comfortable everywhere except one place: on the bench. After a season-ending injury that came at the worst possible

time, she’s learning how to have an impact on the team without ever having to set foot on the court.

Football bowl hopes might depend on three games SaturdayBy Matt Thompson

Senior Reporter

Central Michigan football players will become cheerleaders this week-end, with their bowl hopes hinging on three teams one win away from bowl eligibility.

CMU fi nished 6-6 and bowl eligible, but that does not guarantee them an invitation.

Athletics Director Dave Heeke said there are currently 70 bowl-eligible teams perfectly matching the 35 bowl games. But three teams have a chance to become bowl eligible this weekend.

“We’ll see what happens,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said. “I know it’s

not a guarantee, being 6-6, that we’re going to get an opportunity, but we would love to have an opportunity.”

TEAMS THAT NEED TO LOSE SATURDAYHeeke said if Pittsburgh, Connecti-

cut and Georgia Tech all lose, CMU will be in a bowl game again, since there would be a slot for every bowl-eligible team.

“We need all three of them to lose,” Heeke said. “If they won, then it would be amongst other teams for an at-large bid. That would be a challenge for us to get in.”

Georgia Tech will play No. 13 Florida State in the ACC Championship Game on ESPN at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The

Yellow Jackets will either earn a BCS bid into the Orange Bowl with a win or be 6-7 and bowl ineligible.

The CMU players will root for Cin-cinnati (8-3) against Connecticut at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday on ABC. At 7 p.m. on ESPN on Saturday, the Chippewas will need South Florida to upset Pittsburgh, who just defeated a ranked Rutgers.

If one of those teams wins, CMU will put its resume and bowl appeal to the test with other teams such as Rice and Southern Methodist University – both 6-6 from a weak Conference USA.

The MAC appears to be stronger than C-USA with seven bowl-eligible teams, compared to fi ve from C-USA.

“We’re in one of the better confer-

ences with seven bowl-eligible teams,” Heeke said. “We have two highly ranked teams, and I believe we deserve to get a bowl invitation.”

CBSsports.com projects the Chip-pewas playing in the Military Bowl on Dec. 27 against San Jose State. CMU would fi ll in for the eighth-best ACC team, which won’t have eight bowl-eligible teams. Last week, CBS Sports had CMU in the New Orleans bowl, which is played before Christmas.

Jerry Palm, the CBS sports writer who projected the bowl schedule, did not include Georgia Tech, UConn and Pittsburgh. In his blog, he said adding those teams would likely kick out a MAC team and/or Sun Belt team. The

MAC bowl-eligible school with the worst record is CMU.

Palm had both Rice and SMU going to bowl games as well in his projection.

The fi ve Sun Belt eligible teams all have at least one more victory than CMU, as do four teams in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

It is very fortunate for the Chippe-was that Ohio State, Penn State, North Carolina and Miami are all either self-imposing or on NCAA postseason ban – all of those teams have a better record in tougher conferences than CMU.

Men’s basketball fi nishes 2-1 at Utah’s holiday tournament

By Jeff PapworthStaff Reporter

Senior Kyle Randall did not score a point for the men’s basketball team in the fi rst half against Idaho State Satur-day at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.

But head coach Keno Davis’ confi -dence in him was unwavering as he let Randall score his eighth point of the second half from 18 feet with a half second to go to give Central Michigan a 54-52 win over the Bengals.

“He’s the guy I have the most confi -dence in,” Davis said. “Whether it’s at the free-throw line, whether it’s taking that shot or making the right pass, because of his experience and the type of player he is.”

ISU had the ball with less than a minute to go, but freshman Chris Fowler stole it with the game tied up to give the Chippewas one last possession with 35 seconds left.

Davis said Randall was given the chance to shoot a pull-up jumper off a ball screen, or, if ISU played help defense, he would pass to a teammate in the corner.

Randall said it was a moment that he had not experienced since high school.

“It’s just like in the gym,” he said. “Just take my time, stay calm, be confi -dent and knock it down.”

Randall led in assists with four and only gave up one turnover. He made two of his nine fi eld goal attempts.

It appeared CMU was breaking away at the start of the second half, when Kyle Randall contributed on a 12-2 run, with his fi rst six points of the game from a layup and four free-throws, to give the team a 37-27 lead.

But ISU’s leading scorer Chris Han-sen made two three-pointers down the stretch to keep the Bengals in it.

He made a three to conclude a Bengals 7-0 run to make it 41-39 with 9:22 left.

ISU, staying within striking distance, fi nally tied the game at 48 with a Han-sen three, four minutes later.

Olivier Mbaigoto made one of two free-throws with 4:19 left that amounted to one of fi ve lead changes the rest of the game.

Freshman Derrick Richardson Jr. had two chances to give CMU the lead when the score was 52-51 in the last

Wrestling team finishes 1-2 at Northeast Duals in New York on SaturdayBy Bryce Huffman

Staff Reporter

The wrestling squad fi nished 1-2 at the 2012 Northeast Duals Saturday, de-feating Hofstra but dropping matches to Cornell and Oklahoma in Troy, N.Y.

No. 11 Central Michigan began the annual tournament with a 17-15 loss to No. 8 Cornell.

“Both teams won fi ve matches a piece, but Cornell got two big wins by major decision that put them ahead by two points,” head coach Tom Borrelli said. “It seemed like every time we would win a big match, they would answer with a win.”

The Big Red held a 13-6 lead, seem-ingly dominating the Chippewas until junior 174-pounder Craig Kelliher won a 7-3 match over freshman Duke Pickett to cut the lead.

Senior heavyweight Jarod Trice stepped in for the fi nal match with CMU trailing 17-12, needing a pin against Cornell senior Stryker Lane. Trice earned a 2-1 decision but

wasn’t able to pin Lane.“Trice won his match, so I can’t be

mad at him,” Borrelli said. “As a team, we can’t let a match come down to that anymore.”

Redshirt freshman Lucas Smith (157) and senior Ben Bennett (184) also earned decisions for CMU.

HOFSTRASenior 125-pounder Christian

Cullinan bounced back from his fi rst loss of the day with a 5-1 decision over Hofstra redshirt senior Steve Bonanno in CMU’s second dual meet.

Senior 133-pounder Scotti Sentes increased the team’s lead to 6-0 with a 3-0 decision over redshirt junior Jamie Franco.

Hofstra bounced back with victories over 141-pounder Nick Hodgkins and 149-pounder Jared Porter but never regained any control in the meet.

CMU picked up wins from Dakota Cooley, Mike Ottinger, Anthony Bill, Bennett and Jackson Lewis to lead up to the fi nal matchup, but Hofstra senior Paul Snyder defeated junior Mike

Murray, ending the meet 24-9 in favor the CMU.

OKLAHOMACullinan opened CMU’s third meet

with an 8-5 decision over Oklahoma freshman Kyle Garcia, but the Chip-pewas did not lead again the rest of the day.

The Sooners took a 21-3 lead after Tyler Keselring (133) and Scott Mat-tingly (141) were both pinned, and Smith (149) and Donnie Corby (157) lost overtime matches.

Borrelli said he was pleased with the team overall, but there are still areas that need improving.

“Our conditioning has been improv-ing,” he said. “It was much better today than it was in our meet against Michi-gan, and the number of close matches and matches that went to overtime show that.”

The Chippewas made a run late, earning bonus points on major deci-sions by Kelliher (9-1) and Bennett (14-0), but it was too little too late.

Trice earned a 7-2 decision against

senior Keldrick Hall to end the day, but the team fell to Oklahoma, 24-14.

“I saw some good things in that win against Hofstra, but the loss to Oklahoma showed that there are still a lot of things we need to work

on,” Borrelli said.The Chippewas are back in action at

7 p.m. on Saturday in the Convocation Center at Ohio University.

win over SDSU Friday, will host No. 5 Notre Dame ThursdayBy Morgan Yuncker | Staff Reporter

“I was pretty pleased with the way that we played; I thought we played a much better brand of team basketball on both ends of the fl oor,” Guevara said.

Guevara attributed the team’s success Friday to the starting lineup changes made following last week’s loss to Wisconsin-Green Bay.

“The depth of our team really came through today; we had fi ve of us in double-digit points, and we were just working the ball and

making the extra pass,” sophomore guard Crystal Bradford said. “Defensively, we were talking; we were just in sync with each other.”

The victory was important in gaining momentum before taking on No. 5 Notre Dame at 7 p.m. on Thursday at McGuirk Arena.

“Right now, we are going to enjoy this game before I start watching fi lm on Notre Dame tomorrow,” Guevara said.

Mark Guthrie, the director of Central Michigan Univer-sity track and field, told his men’s and women’s teams this weekend it does not matter what conference you are from. The only thing that matters is performance on gameday.

Ten Chippewas proved they were better than the competi-tion Friday and Saturday at the Lenny Lyles/Clark Wood Invitational at the University of Louisville.

CMU took home seven first-place finishes during the meet, the first of the outdoor season, after battling cold tempera-tures throughout the weekend.

“For our first meet and in 48 degree weather, I thought we performed very well,” Guthrie said. “With who we brought, I thought we had more good than bad. We established a starting point. We know where we’re at right now and we know where we have to go.”

The Chippewas were led

by Mid-American Conference indoor champion high jumper Matt Mueller. The junior bounded his way to a 1.99 mark to take the top spot.

“He had a good jump early,” Guthrie said. “Right now he has a lot of confidence and a lot of enthusiasm. He’s doing the work he needs to do to get better. At some point that light bulb goes off for everybody.”

CMU also notched a first-place finish in the men’s 100-meter dash from junior Tahshon Reese. The Arkansas State University transfer had a time of 10.78, while teammate and freshman Lorenzo Wells finished one-hundredth of a

second behind at 10.79.“If you can get those top

three spots in those meets you feel pretty good,” Guthrie said.

Guthrie also praised junior Brandon McCleese, who won the javelin throw with a toss of 58.43 meters and his 4x400-meter team, which consisted of freshman Erick Huertas, sophomores Malik Vasquez and Ziewmowit Dut-kiewicz, and redshirt senior Clay Holman.

CMU freshman sprinter Tina Davis took the top spot in the 100-meter dash, after stumbling out of the MAC Indoor Championships, during which she ran a time of 12.08.

Senior Diamond Hamilton finished in second place at 12.27 to complete the one-two sweep for the Chippewas in the event on the men’s and women’s side.

First-place performances

came from seniors Emma Fishnick and Ravyn Baxter. Fishnick won the 400-meter hurdles at 1:01.94, while Baxter had a 24.62 clip in the 200-me-ter dash.

“Warmer weather probably

would have produced better results,” Guthrie said. “To re-ally get the great times you’re looking for better conditions. In the upper Midwest, it is what it is and you have to start somewhere.”
