Morales co-founded the Coalition for Tuition Equal- ity, a student group push- ing to get in-state tuition for students who live in the state but do not have U.S. citizen- ship or a green card. They want U-M to charge in-state tuition for anyone who can prove they complet- ed at least two years of high school and earned a diploma from a high school in Michi- gan or a certificate recogniz- ing the completion of a GED testing service. “We just want tuition equality,” Morales recently told the Detroit Free Press. Betty Wagner, director of admissions, said Central Michigan University has the same policies as U-M for stu- dents like Morales. “That student would be considered out-of-state for tuition purposes (at CMU),” Wagner said. “We would do nothing special for that stu- dent.” The Coalition for Tuition Equality has caught the at- tention of the U-M Board of Regents, which asked Provost Phil Hanlon to report to the board on the possibility of offering in-state tuition to these students, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The two Delta Chi, snow- boarding- and wakeboarding- loving fraternity members are known to many on campus for the various events they put to- gether and promote. Now, they are taking their skills to the next level with the creation of their new company Kruüe (pronounced “crew”), which they are leaving CMU to establish after this school year. “I came up with the idea nine months ago, and then I told Thomas right away,” said Lazzaro, a Hope junior. “Thomas thought it was a great idea. Then, together we built on it, and then when we thought the idea was ready enough, we presented the idea to Zach (Sampson, owner of Hottest College Parties) who is now the Kruüe CEO and own- er. He had the right people and right connections to launch the company.” Lazzaro is also the Red Bull student brand manager, event manager at Wayside Central and manger of Ron Sulewski, known as “DJ Pigpen.” He said the idea for Kruüe came from the fact that he wanted college students to have experiences similar to his. “Out of all the events and experiences, I’ve learned a lot,” he said. “I wanted to be able to do something that helped col- lege students get jobs after col- lege and helped increase busi- ness for local businesses. I got some ideas from Groupon and LinkedIn. I want to help col- lege students get jobs in some- thing they actually want to do.” Lazzaro said the new com- pany will help plan, execute and promote various events through networking with lo- cal businesses and on college campuses. Recently, the duo has been traveling all over the Midwest to interview candi- dates to establish Kruüe at various schools. Many of these are students who were promoters for Dayglow at their respective schools and therefore are con- nected to Sampson, who runs 40 percent of Dayglow parties worldwide. Lazzaro and Lorentzen met at Lazzaro’s first event at Way- side Central, a New Year’s Eve party in 2010. Lazzaro said he was impressed at how fast the Clio junior was able to sell tick- ets for a party when so few stu- dents were in town. “I was like, ‘Who is this kid?’” Lazzaro said. “Most of the kids I knew were Greek and all these people were non-Greek, so I talked to him and I was like, ‘Hey, you ever think about doing promotions?’” Thomas said, ‘Who, me?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah dude, you just sold 60-something tickets in like three hours.’” Soon after meeting, they both decided to switch their majors to marketing.

Students at the University of Michigan are fighting for what they have dubbed “tu-ition equality.”
David Morales, a fresh-man from Detroit, has lived in Michigan his entire life, but he was born in Mexico and is not a legal resident of the United States. Because of this, he is charged out-of-state tuition at U-M.
Morales co-founded the Coalition for Tuition Equal-ity, a student group push-ing to get in-state tuition for students who live in the state but do not have U.S. citizen-ship or a green card.
They want U-M to charge in-state tuition for anyone who can prove they complet-ed at least two years of high school and earned a diploma from a high school in Michi-gan or a certificate recogniz-ing the completion of a GED testing service.
“We just want tuition equality,” Morales recently told the Detroit Free Press.
Betty Wagner, director of admissions, said Central Michigan University has the same policies as U-M for stu-dents like Morales.
“That student would be considered out-of-state for tuition purposes (at CMU),” Wagner said. “We would do nothing special for that stu-dent.”
The Coalition for Tuition Equality has caught the at-tention of the U-M Board of Regents, which asked Provost Phil Hanlon to report to the board on the possibility of offering in-state tuition to these students, the Detroit Free Press reported. A report was not issued at the regents’ Thursday meeting.

U-M, CMUdefend tuition policy for illegal residents

If you went to LMFAO, Day-glow or Na Palm, there are two Central Michigan University students to thank; Anthony La-zzaro and Thomas Lorentzen.
The two Delta Chi, snow-boarding- and wakeboarding- loving fraternity members are known to many on campus for the various events they put to-gether and promote.
Now, they are taking their skills to the next level with the creation of their new company Kruüe (pronounced “crew”), which they are leaving CMU to establish after this school year.
“I came up with the idea nine months ago, and then I told Thomas right away,” said Lazzaro, a Hope junior. “Thomas thought it was a
great idea. Then, together we built on it, and then when we thought the idea was ready enough, we presented the idea to Zach (Sampson, owner of Hottest College Parties) who is now the Kruüe CEO and own-er. He had the right people and right connections to launch the company.”
Lazzaro is also the Red Bull student brand manager, event manager at Wayside Central and manger of Ron Sulewski, known as “DJ Pigpen.” He said the idea for Kruüe came from the fact that he wanted college students to have experiences similar to his.
“Out of all the events and experiences, I’ve learned a lot,” he said. “I wanted to be able to do something that helped col-lege students get jobs after col-lege and helped increase busi-
ness for local businesses. I got some ideas from Groupon and LinkedIn. I want to help col-lege students get jobs in some-thing they actually want to do.”

Two thousand more seats are being allotted to the stu-dent section to accommodate the high demand of people wanting to attend the Central Michigan football game against Michigan State Sept. 8.
Students will still be able to get in free of charge as usual, but have to go to one of two events at the end of August to load the ticket on a valid CMU ID.

“He balances me out, because I try to make everyone happy,” Lazzaro said. “I’ll promise peo-ple things, and Thomas will be like ‘You’re an idiot, you can’t do that.’ He brings me back down to reality and makes sure we fol-low through with everything.”
Lorentzen agreed that the two make an effective team.
In order to dedicate all of their time to the launch of Kruüe, the two have decided not to return to CMU and are potentially moving to Chicago in January.
“I still can’t believe it’s all happening,” Lorentzen said.
Both agreed that Jon Hunt-er, owner of Wayside Central, O’Kellys, The Cabin and Hunt-er’s Ale House, has had a big influence on them as a mentor.
“We wouldn’t be anywhere without him,” Lorentzen said. “He’s taught us so much.”
Lazzaro said Hunter taught him everything.
“He’s really given me so much advice,” he said. “I am
definitely really lucky to have known him.”
Hunter said he is excited for the duo and their new venture.
“Meeting Thomas and An-thony was great,” Hunter said. “I think they’re going to go and never look back. They’re the type of people who are always looking for the next challenge, and they’ve always done a great job. They’ll be missed, but I’m sure they’ll come back and visit.”
He said the two are applying their Wayside experiences to Kruüe.
“I think Kruüe will be suc-cessful,” Hunter said. “A lot of the philosophies they’re going to use are what we’ve used dur-ing our most successful events here.”
Both said the support of their friends and family was some-thing they couldn’t live without.
“I just want to say this is such a great opportunity, and every-thing that has happened and all the good that has happened comes from the community,” Lorentzen said. “We have so many friends here and every-one is supportive. This isn’t something we did on our own.”
Lazzaro said he hopes to keep
close ties with his good friends.“My favorite thing to do
when I have free time is going and catching up with all my friends,” he said. “I’m just really lucky to meet the people I’ve met at CMU.”
CMU students voiced several different opinions on the issue.
“I don’t know why they shouldn’t have in-state (tuition) if they have lived in Michigan their whole lives,” said Saline fresh-man Hannah Hagood. “Isn’t that the point of in-state tuition?”
Jiebing Wang, a gradu-ate student from China, agreed with Hagood.
“They should get the benefits (of in-state tu-ition), because they live in the state and pay the taxes,” Wang said. “It’s dif-ferent than international students. We don’t pay as many taxes here.”
Farmington Hills junior Violet Serra disagreed.
“They are here illegally. They should have to pay the higher rate,” Serra said. “They get the ben-efits of living here without being here in a legal man-ner.”
The issue was not as simple to Grand Rapids sophomore Shane Gilli-gan.
“I don’t think illegal im-migrants should receive all the rights of citizens, but this is different than rights,” he said. “I don’t know where I stand.”
The University Art Gallery is hosting the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Spring 2012 Exhibi-tion featuring the work of two students with vastly different approaches to ceramics.
The exhibit, Juxtaclay, fea-tures the works of Mount Pleas-ant senior Meghan Borland and Utica senior Stephanie Galli. The gallery will be open until May 5, on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturdays between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The exhibit is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
At the reception and artist talk Saturday, Galli said the title is a play on the words “juxtaposi-tion” and “clay” and speaks to the differences between her and Borland’s works. Galli said by putting her and Borland’s con-trasting styles side by side, the audience can better appreciate both of the artists.
“I think that is exactly what juxtaposition does,” Galli said. “It makes the features of both works more prominent.”
Galli’s work is heavily focused on aesthetic pleasure and cen-ters around modern adapta-tions of traditional forms of ce-ramics. Galli said the goal of her work is to be desirable to look at.
“I realized that they (her art) were very similar to the female form, and upon pondering it, I realized that I’ve always had this interest in high fashion and art-forms that were very beautiful,” she said. “And I wanted to make something similar.”
Galli’s works are intricate but also rely on simplicity. She said her favorite piece she made is a slipcast porcelain mold, which features a single gold line con-trasted by a white background. She said simplicity is essential in her work.
“It’s simple, but its design needs to be simple, or it gets loud and busy,” Galli said. “Something that is pleasurable to look at can’t get loud and busy.”
Borland’s work is completely different from Galli’s work in both its form and its purpose. Borland’s ceramic pieces defy tradition and are conceptual in their form. Her works are closely connected with the natural world, and she said she wanted to reconnect her audience to the natural world with her works.
“Our connection and under-standing of the pure form of na-ture is lost,” Borland said.
Borland said a common reac-tion to her work is surprise, be-cause while she uses materials common for ceramics, she uses them in surprising and original ways. One of her works, titled “The Schematics of Nature,” was composed of several pieces of clay from the Chippewa River covered in moss. Borland spent months growing the moss her-self, which she said took a large amount of effort.
“For the moss to grow on it, I needed distilled water, because the chemicals of substances in the Chippewa River make it im-possible to grow,” Borland said. “I have to mimic the environment completely just for a simple or-ganism to grow, which is some-thing we never think about.”
Another one of Borland’s pieces was composed of a small room with plaster molds of leaves covering the floor. The audience is allowed and en-courage to walk on and crack the molds.
“We step on leaves all the time in the fall, but we never have a reaction to it,” Borland said. “That is what I hoped to bring.”
Ryan Heisler, a Mount Pleas-ant resident and a former stu-dent at CMU, said he was im-pressed by the exhibit and the
amount of dedication the artists displayed.
“It’s very evident the amount of hard work they put into this exhibit,” Hesler said. “You can see the passion involved.”
Mount Pleasant freshman Connor Berglund, who is study-ing 2D art, said he was amazed by the ceramics in the exhibit.
“These are all beautifully crafted, formally solid, and they’re treated well,” Berglund said.
He said the exhibit will cause him to branch out into three-dimensional art forms.
“I have been really inspired by the 3D art,” Berglund said. “It’s different than a painting where it’s just on a canvas. I like how you can make something real.”

The Isabella County Board of Commissioners voted Tues-day to oppose legislation that would eliminate the state’s personal property tax.
The package of eight bills, introduced in the Michigan
Senate on Tuesday, would phase out the personal prop-erty tax for industrial proper-ties. It would also provide an exemption for small commer-cial properties.
The county’s resolution, which passed unanimously, stated the bills would reduce revenues to the county by $384,888 beginning in 2013.
“Such a revenue loss would have a devastating impact on the ability of local units of government to provide critical community services,” Com-
missioner David Ling read from the resolution.
State Sen. Judy Emmons, R-Sheridan, said she has not yet decided how she will vote on the issue but will take into ac-count the county’s opposition.
“I’m a little concerned for the locals,” she said. “I’m also concerned for the businesses impacted by paying taxes on something over and over.”
She said she hopes, through bill amendments, they can in-clude a replacement for the revenue lost.
“It’s just one of those things that I think isn’t ready to be voted on yet,” she said.
Gov. Rick Snyder’s adminis-tration supports the bills.
“The proposal is designed to encourage economic growth in Michigan by reducing the personal property tax bur-den on many Michigan busi-nesses,” said Terry Stanton, a spokesman for Snyder.
Lost revenue will be re-placed by the elimination of tax credits, like the Michigan Business tax, Lt. Gov. Brian
Calley told local government leaders in April.
However, Ling said that will not fully reimburse the county.
The resolution urges state legislators to “actively and vig-orously oppose any attempts to eliminate the personal property tax without full and guaranteed replacement.”
Commissioner James More-no said the state legislators have been trying to reduce the coun-ty’s funding for the past 10 years for services like public safety.
“It’s hard to explain that to
constituents,” he said.The joint resolution is
shared with the city of Mount Pleasant, Union Township and the Village of Shepherd.
According to the resolution, the bills would reduce rev-enues in the city by $230,000, the township by $45,000 and the Village of Shepherd by $17,420.
The other units will vote on the resolution at their next reg-ular meetings.

PASSING IT ONRelay for Life brings out 1,200; raises $61,000 for cancer research
By Alayna Smith | Staff Reporter
Cancer is a disease that plagues families across
the nation.
Cures are limited, but research is working to-
ward bettering the lives of the millions of people
worldwide suffering from the illness.
Students, faculty and community members
gathered in the Indoor Athletic Center for a
24-hour-long event over the weekend to help
raise money to support cancer research and a
cure.
The fundraising goal of $50,000 was met eas-
ily, having raised $48,886 before the event even
began on Saturday morning. By the end of the
event, through continued sales and fundraising
done by the teams in attendance, $61,000 had
been raised. Merrill Hall Council made the largest
donation of $1,700, followed by Larzelere Hall.
Seventy-three registered teams with 840 partici-
pants were expected and more than 1,200 people
ended up filtering in throughout the 24 hours.
Dearborn freshman Mary Menter said she Re-lays for three people in her life who have all suffered from various medical con-ditions, and it feels good to be part of such a positive event.
“It’s a way for a lot of people, in a mental or psy-
chological way, to know that they’re not alone and that there is always sup-port. It brings the com-munity together for a great cause,” Menter said.

The Great Lakes Loons minor league baseball team is team-ing up with sport management students at Central Michigan University to host their first-ever “Social Media Night” Thursday at Dow Diamond in Midland.
Students in professor Steve Adler’s PES 190: Introduction to Sport Management classes have helped in every aspect of the event.
Each of Adler’s three classes were broken up into five groups: Communications, brand mar-keting, grassroots marketing, promotions and research.
“Our main job has been to promote around campus,” said Farmington Hills junior Court-ney Field, who is serving as the communications leader. “We’re trying to get as many people as
we can to come to the event and have a good time.”
Grandville junior Matt DeVries, leader of the brand marketing group, said his group was in charge of the advertising leading up to the game. They de-veloped an advertisement that will run in Central Michigan Life and a radio spot that has been airing the past few weeks on 100.9 WLUN-FM, mid-Michi-gan’s ESPN Radio affiliate.
“This has helped us see the behind-the-scenes stuff that has to happen to put on an event like this,” he said. “It’s a longer process than people actually see on the field.”

Mount Pleasant residents ap-pear to be staying healthy with Isabella County ranked in the 75th percentile of healthiest cit-ies in Michigan.
According to the County Health Rankings and Road-maps, Isabella County is ranked number 20 out of 82 on the scale of Michigan counties that are in good physical shape.
Grand Rapids senior Micho-lus Stevens wasn’t surprised by the results.
“Every time I go to the gym, there’s a ton of people there,” Stevens said. “A lot of college students worry about their physical appearance, and they should. This is the time in our life when it’s important to be healthy.”
With more than 2,000 people visiting the Student Activity Center daily and numerous oth-er gyms in town, the residents of Mount Pleasant have non-stop opportunities to stay active and in shape.
“There should be no reason that people in Mount Pleasant are unhealthy and stay out of shape, when as CMU students,
we get to use the SAC for free,” said Coleman freshman Katie Murphy. “Every college student goes out and drinks too much and has a few unhealthy habits, but if you do have bad habits, fix them with good ones. Go to the gym after a big night of drinking.”
Seung ni Fitness, 2217 S. Mis-sion St., is one of the options for residents looking to be fit. Co-owner Brandon Thomas said he is not shocked by the high rank-ing Isabella County received.
Having more than 450 mem-bers ranging from college stu-dents to people in their 70s, Thomas said people from every age and fitness level are interest-ed in their physical health.
“College students run into problems, because the last thing they care about is nutrition; but, at the same time, they want to look good,” Thomas said.
Many students are getting memberships at the gym in or-der to learn about being healthy, and others are just interested in good eating tips, he said.
“Thirty percent of our mem-berships are college students who are looking to mix up their workout,” Thomas said. “They like coming here, because we’re interested in our members. If they want help grocery shopping and want to learn what foods are good to eat, then I’ll go to the store with them and show them.”

Jeff Percha said he doesn’t advise anyone to lose as much weight in 14 weeks as he recently did.
Losing 34.24 percent of his body weight since Jan.11 was not the most difficult part, the Mount Pleasant resident said.
“The hardest part was show-ing up the first day and accepting where I was,” he said.
More than 50 people gathered Sunday to see Percha awarded $10,000 and crowned the win-ner of the Slim-to-Win contest at Morey Courts, 5175 E. Remus
Road. Percha was one of the four finalist in the competition.
“The best part is that this is over,” he said.
After losing a significant amount of body weight, there are things Percha can do that he wasn’t able to a few months ago, he said.
He takes the stairs more and no longer has to worry what chair he sits in.
Percha weighed in at 324.8 pounds on Jan. 11 with 882 other people.
Lon Morey of the Morey Foun-dation said the first weigh-in amounted to 97 tons of people.
“I was hoping to get 50 to 75
people, but I was blown away,” Morey said.
The Slim-to-Win contest had a two-to-one female-to-male ratio.
However, the contest is not over for those who weighed-in Jan. 11, Morey said.
Anyone that weighed in in Jan-uary can weigh in Aug. 12. The individual who has lost the big-gest percentage of body fat since January will be awarded $3,000.
In addition to a large check, Percha was awarded a 12-month fitness pass to Morey Courts.
Percha’s trainer Erin Lenhart said Percha had a full fitness cen-ter behind him.
“I hope all of them can main-
tain it,” Lenhart said. “Hopefully now they can look in the mirror and see the changed man.”
Doug Carey came in at a close second, losing 32.4 percent of his starting body weight, 300 pounds.
Carey was down to 197.4 pounds and was awarded a prize of $2,500.
Carey, a Mount Pleasant resi-dent, said he plans on relaxing a bit but has 15 to 20 ideas slated to maintain his weight loss.
“I’ve said all the way along that the hardest part is maintaining weight loss,” Carey said.
Along with pounds shed, Car-ey said he has also gained new-
found knowledge pertaining to eating healthier.
“It’s all about veggies and lean meats,” Carey said.
Carey said his wife Sherrie was his biggest encouragement, as well as his personal trainer, Landon.
“About a month ago, I came up with the slogan that ‘It takes a community to make a fat guy slimmer,’” Carey said.
Carey was also awarded a six-month Morey Courts Fitness pass.
Brian Maxon and Tim Daugh-erty also weighed in Sunday.
Maxon lost 30.31 percent of his body fat and Daughtery shed
33.21 percent.Those involved with Morey
Courts and the Morey Founda-tion acknowledged the many accomplishments of those who participated in the contest.
Several lowered their choles-terol and reduced the amount of high blood pressure medication used. Some even went off their medication entirely.
Percha said he still plans to lose a few pounds to hit his target weight of 190, he said.
“I wanna make sure that guy in the picture never comes back,” Percha said.
Jeff Percha crowned victor of Slim-to-Win weight loss competition
cure is important.“I love going to Relay,
because everyone is so pumped up,” Varner said. “Everyone likes to see that the money is going to a good cause, and people keep go-ing even if they’ve been up for 24 hours.”
The event kicked off at 11 a.m. on Saturday with Uni-versity President George Ross leading the first lap, followed by a survivor cere-mony to honor the survivors of cancer for a lap. Later in the night, there was a lumi-naria ceremony to honor the many lives lost to the dis-ease.
Various activities kept participants awake and ex-
cited, including musical performances from On the Rox and Fish n’ Chips. There was also a punt, pass and kick contest, Fear Factor and a drag talent contest called Mrs. Relay.
Varner, who dressed up and played harmonica for the Mrs. Relay contest, said these activities were a fun way to break things up throughout the night.
“It’s very serious subject matter, so it’s good to have a bit of humor in there to lighten the mood,” he said.
Rockford freshman Bethany Hicks said she was pleasantly surprised by the huge turnout.
So, it is encouraging to see Gov. Rick Snyder’s administra-tion back legislation as strong as the proposed set of bills which would eliminate per-sonal property tax for industrial properties, and provide an ex-emption for small commercial properties.
Unfortunately, the legislation in its current form would be counterproductive, to the point of amputating a leg to cure a heavy limp.
Striking down these taxes in the hopes of creating a more business-friendly economic environment would reduce Isabella County’s revenue by $384,888 beginning in 2013. Its total revenue for 2012 is set to be $17,199,417.
Gov. Snyder might forget that
people and businesses do not flourish on low tax rates alone.
Mount Pleasant’s local gov-ernment can barely afford to salt and plow its roads in the winter.
While a barren wasteland would place very little burden on taxpayers to maintain, Isa-bella County will not look very attractive unless businesspeo-ple want to snowshoe across the region to conduct their af-fairs.
This Editorial Board agrees with Snyder that bloated gov-ernment and high taxes are det-rimental for the business cli-mate in Michigan, but, at least in Isabella County, it’s difficult to see how much more services could be reduced.
The legislation might be ap-
propriate for some larger coun-ties, where it could indeed spur investment, but without a rev-enue-sharing scheme, smaller counties with less industry seem certain to face a net loss. Snyder’s administration seems to fail to appreciate that infas-tructure, safety and education are also key factors in determin-ing relocation, for both families and businesses. There’s no sign of Google, or any other major corporation, setting up shop in Isabella County anytime soon.
In order for Michigan to be attractive to investment from outside the state, it must con-tinue to provide basic services, not just to the wealthy areas of the state.
Citizens might look at this tax cut as more money in their pocket, but how are they going to feel when trash pickup is af-fected or the local police and fire departments are staffed by fewer employees?

Why I love the
Westboro Baptist Church
[your voicE]
I feel like I need to clarify the title of this column immediately before Central Michigan Life dis-owns me for hate speech.
I personally am disgusted by the message the Westboro Baptist Church preaches. More than that, I am offended by the fact that a group like this exists in our soci-ety. They are an ugly, exaggerated reflection of the discrimination our society continues to impose on the LGBTQ community.
I don’t believe any individual deserves the eternal torture West-boro condemns everybody to — if I did, they would be on the top of my list.
I believe the majority of people in this country, at least in part, feel the same way. So much so, if the United States government enacted legislation making such hate speech illegal and threw the Westboro participants in jail as soon as they step on this campus on Monday, I believe most would stand and applaud.
And we would be utter fools.America is a conversation but
not a polite dinner conversation. Our nation’s conversation is pas-sionate, convoluted, confused, messy, explosive, eccentric, some-times angry, increasingly odd, and most of the time, wildly off topic.
It’s a conversation open to everyone, of all opinions, of all religions, of all societal back-grounds. And, with very few exceptions, you too can jump in and say whatever you want. The First Amendment is what sets our country apart, and it is a major component of the liberty we value.
No group embodies that conversation for me more than the Westboro Baptist Church. The very fact that we as a nation honor and protect their right to express their opinion, an opinion that even the KKK has separated themselves from, means my right to speak will also be honored and respected.
Furthermore, if we value the first amendment as we should value it, we need to recognize that we need to boldly defend Westboro’s right to speak. If our government were to start limiting our First Amendment rights, it would not start with speech that we value — it would start with speech that we are offended by, that we as a nation don’t want to hear.
Once that precedent is made, the government will then have a process to increasingly limit our First Amendment rights, and we would no longer have the freedom we so fully enjoy today. The first line of defense for our right to speak freely is groups like West-boro.
Of all the rights I have been blessed with, free speech is the most important to me. I love the fact that I am able to openly disagree with my society and my government.
I love the fact that I can fear-lessly publish an article with such an abrasive title. I love the fact that in this country I am open to fully express myself and fully embrace myself. This is a reality we all partake in.
But I think we all need to rec-ognize that for that reality to hap-pen, the Westboro Baptist Church has to be allowed the same right.
Our worst defends our First
As a ‘90s kid who grew up on numer-ous Marvel characters, I have my own version of Spider-Man, and Tobey Mc-Guire wasn’t it.
With “The Amazing Spider-Man” hit-ting theaters on July 3, I hope to find less flaws than I did in the previous Spider-Man trilogy.
In the televised “Spider-Man: The An-imated Series,” which ran from 1994 to 1998, Peter Parker is portrayed as a hard-luck, yet good-humored young man.
McGuire managed to turn the super-hero into a whiny, love-sick guy with identity issues, while also neglecting to address the character’s alter ego.
We saw some of that briefly in the third movie, but apparently Parker had to turn to the dark side in order to be funny and cunning.
To me, it seems to say that good guys can’t be mocking, and in my opinion, McGuire wasn’t the “friendly neighbor-hood spider-man.” He was depressing and made me want to yell for my money back.
I hope the new Spider-Man portrayed by Andrew Garfield realizes this is a great opportunity to make us laugh as he fights a villain, like when the cartoon superhero taunted his enemies.
Based on the trailers, I can tell they are staying a little closer to the comic books, as Parker will be using mechanical web-shooters in the movie.
In the McGuire-starred movies, his body created the web, and he could shoot it from his wrist, which really hap-pens in only a few comic versions.
Adding the mechanical web-shooters indicates they’re planning to make Park-er possess a genius level of intelligence, as he applies science in constructing helpful devices like in most comics.
Another good thing about the film is the appearance of Dr. Curt Connor, played by Rhys Ifans.
In the second and third movie, they show Connor as a professor with witty comments instead of his comic version: Spider-Man’s confidant and personal doctor.
In this movie, it appears Connor will be both Peter Parker’s friend and Spider-Man’s enemy, which should add an in-teresting twist to the plot.
When it comes to the romance de-partment, I’m glad to be rid of Mary Jane. All she seemed to accomplish was messing with our superhero’s head.
Besides, her constant need to be saved in every single movie was irritating.
I’m not sure what to expect from high school crush Gwen Stacy played by Emma Stone other than her setting up a storyline for her police officer father, George Stacy, who is played by Denis Leary.
Stacy will replace The Daily Bugle’s editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson as the one with the campaign against Spider-man.
It seems rather strange, since George Stacy is a Spider-Man supporter in the comic books, but I guess it adds drama if the father of the love interest goes against the superhero.
Maybe I’m being too harsh on Mc-Guire, but getting the story straight and showing us defiance instead of despera-tion isn’t much to ask for by a geeky fan.
Comments in respose to “Stu-dent section grows by 2,000 for football game against MSU; stu-dents must attend one of two events to reserve ticket”
White2ejThis is no different than a
school having its students camp out for tickets to games (i.e. Michigan State, Duke, etc.).. The student leaders who helped make this decision clearly thought it was a good idea and did a tremendous job IMO of protecting us as students.
Ben FordSo it comes to this, we have
to bribe people to attend CMU events.
CMUMOM1Thank God my daughter is
on the danceteam. And as an athletic booster, I am allowed to purchase two tickets for the game. Of course I sold them as I get in free w/ dance! No over-inflating this game’s attendance and with almost (all) Saturday games attendance should be up!! FIRE UP CHIPS!!! Almost all goes to the first game, but mainstage is usually freshmen.

ing attendance numbers...

I M DoobiusThis was NOT an illegal grow
— it was a medical service op-eration with more than ade-quate paperwork and a serious attempt to conform to param-eters of the 2008 initiative for which more than three million Michiganders expressed their desires to allow legal cannabis use — you haven’t spoken with anyone involved other than the police who erred in (the) en-tering house in first place and you’re not doing your job as a so-called ‘reporter’ to accept and print characterization of operation as “illegal.”
No wonder newspapers are dying.

Selected comments in re-sponse to “Greek Week brings together the community to raise money for Logan MacGregor”
CMUFacultySo please explain to me why
this little event has to disrupt students attending their classes?
FireUpChipsStudents are still required to
attend class. They turn in class schedules to the Greek Week chairpersons. When attendance is taken at an event, the individ-uals who are scheduled to be in class are excused from missing the event, and there will not be any penalties toward points.
Also, I’m sure one of your stu-dents within the Greek commu-nity would love to share what an amazing week this is for all involved. The amount of aware-ness, dedication and charitable contributions that the Greek or-ganizations are giving this week is amazing.
Quoting what you had said, “...this little event...,” shows me you might want to inquire as to how LARGE of an impact the Greek community is mak-ing on our community at CMU, in Mount Pleasant and beyond and especially to Logan Mac-Gregor and his family.

About 100 were in attendance for the English Department’s first-ever Literary Hullabaloo, which featured literary works from both students and fac-ulty, along with scholarship and award announcements.
The Literary Hullabaloo, held in the Powers Hall ballroom Friday evening, was complete with readings from more than 15 contributors from the spring 2012 edition of The Central Review, along with the special spring edition of the graduate student literary journal “Teme-nos,” titled “Offsprings of an Af-rican River.”
Along with the readings, more than 15 awards and scholar-ships for students and faculty were acknowledged.
A silent auction was conduct-ed and the proceeds went to The Divine Mercy of God Hospital in the area of Nnarambia Ahiazu, Mbaise, in Imo State, Nigeria. Funds raised from the “Teme-nos” publication also went to the hospital.
Department faculty member Robert Fanning, a creative writ-ing professor, said an event such as the hullabaloo has been long overdue, and he expects the event to continue annually.
“So many organizations came together to see the launch of both of our journals, which were amazing,” Fanning said. “It’s something that’s long overdue and will now be an annual event to celebrate all the things that the English department does to bring and cultivate creativity on campus.”
Fanning said the department has previously held separate events for awards and readings, though the hullabaloo gave stu-dents and instructors the op-portunity to see the creativity of others. Fanning said he was particularly awed by the read-ings of faculty member Mau-reen Eke, whom he has never heard read her original poetry before.
“We’re sitting beside students we don’t always get to hear from, students are sitting beside oth-ers that they’ve never been in class with and professors get to see another facet of each other’s creativity,” Fanning said. “And that’s what this is about.”
Graduate student Regan Schaeffer, managing editor of “Temenos,” said she thought many of the essays read at the event were wonderful and said it was great to bring the differ-ent English groups together on campus for an audience.
“I know so many different
people in English groups on campus, but I’ve never seen them all in the same room for an event like this,” Schaeffer said. “This has really been a great ending for the academic year.”
Schaeffer said the staff of “Temenos” consists of only graduate students, though any-one can contribute to the pub-lication. She said she is excited to see more inspiring contribu-tions to the literary journal next year, when she will be editor-in-chief.
“Next year, I’ll be the editor-in-chief of ‘Temenos,’ so I’m cer-tainly excited about continuing some of this amazing momen-tum we’ve had this year with the publication,” Schaeffer said. “I look forward to participating in both ‘Temenos,’ which has been a wonderful experience to see literature contributions from all over the world, and to partici-pate in this event again as well.”
Mount Pleasant senior Leigh Jajuga, assistant editor of The Central Review, said she thought the event was a great way to bring different groups involved with the English department together and provided a great audience for contributors to the publication.
“I thought it was a great way to bring the English Depart-ment together and have a great
celebration to remember the semester and the entire year,” Jajuga said. “I’m really looking forward to the next hullabaloo.”
Jajuga, the future editor-in-chief of The Central Review, said the combined events were a great success.
“We had a great turnout for the Central Review this year,” Jajuga said. “It’s always a well-attended event, but it was nice to have people from the English department and members from ‘Temenos’ as well.”
Students spend final exam time learning from a crime sceneBy Tony wittkowskiStaff Reporter
Students from ANT 342: Fo-rensic Anthropology gathered together on a cold Friday af-ternoon to take part in a mock crime scene for their final exam.
Catherine Willermet, assis-tant professor of anthropology, did this before when she taught at the University of Louisiana for two years, but has never imple-mented the project as a final exam until now.
“All semester long they’ve been learning different aspects of forensic anthropology,” Will-ermet said. “This is the largest student lab I’ve done.”
The whole point of forensic anthropology is when the police have to call in an expert when they find bodies outside that have decayed and are unidenti-fiable, Willermet said.
“You can’t prosecute anyone if you can’t identify the body,” she said.
Newaygo sophomore Kelsey Vandenbosch was in one of nine groups of five students given a specific job. The lab in-volved finding the bones, map-ping them out and analyzing the evidence.
While learning about de-composition rates and trauma wounds, Vandenbosch said she was exited to learn about the hands-on final exam.
“I think it’s a lot better than a written exam,” Vandenbosch said. “It gives us a hands-on ex-perience instead of learning it in a classroom. It makes you real-ize how much work goes into it.”
Laura Kettle, a Bridgman se-nior, said she looks to use the experience in becoming a real forensic anthropologist.
“I took a class on it when I was a sophomore,” Kettle said. “I was pretty good at skull recon-struction.”
Each group has two mappers, a photographer, a recorder and one excavator, Kettle said. Each
group would flag everything and anything that looked like evi-dence. This included cigarette butts, pencils, candy wrappers and any trash that was around.
“I know it’s going to be diffi-cult,” Kettle said. “But Professor Willermet is a great teacher.”
Livonia junior Heather Mar-shall was in a group with a skel-eton that was missing its upper half.
“We are assuming it’s male, because of the narrower sub pubic angle on the pelvic bone,” she said.
After all the students finished their work outside, they were
then instructed to do a write-up about the results. There is specific paperwork for each job, Willermet said.
Each group was also required to map out a one-by-one meter grid across the portion of the crime scene they staked out, Willermet said. Whenever there were visitors at each crime scene, whether it was a reporter or an-other anthropologist, they had to sign in and write down the time.
“They’re doing really well so far,” Willermet said. “They are asking very few questions.”

The event will encour-age fans to interact with the Loons via Twitter and Face-book. Leading up to the game, fans will have a chance to help select which uniforms the players will wear, which promotions to feature and what music to play.
Fans can also enter a drawing to win an iPad by “Liking” the Loons’ Face-book page or following them on Twitter. The winner will be announced during the game.
“Professor Adler is re-ally enthusiastic about this project,” Field said. “He said it would be fun for us to do and would look good on a resume. It’s cool, because the Loons are actually using lots of our promotional ideas at the game.”
There will be a section devoted to students for the game, along with discounted food and beverages.
“This (is) a great opportu-nity to gain some real world experience,” DeVries said. “We’re all trying to break into the industry, and this is the kind of thing that organiza-tions do every day.”
Fans tweeting at the game are encouraged to use the hashtag #LoonsSMN to in-teract with other fans at the game.
“A lot of times you walk around campus and won-der how many people actu-ally care or think about these things,” Hicks said. “You find out it’s a lot. There’s a really great community here to be a part of.”
Vice Event Chairwoman Brianna Reuter, an Orion se-nior, said she was impressed
with how much was raised over just the course of the 24-hour event and that it was great to see such a large and diverse group in attendance.
“(Relay is great because) people can be better in-volved with things happen-ing around campus and learn a lot about different people,” the Clarkston senior said. “Hearing the stories of every-one is great and really helps you grow closer to other peo-ple. It’s also a learning experi-
ence for all the different RSOs around campus to see what they’re all about and why they come out.”
With such a great turnout, many are already looking for-ward to attending next year’s event and continuing the ef-forts.
“It’s a great time and a great cause, and it’s really a shame if you missed out,” Varner said.
Nate’s grandfather, Bill Theunissen, was a former CMU head coach (namesake for Theunissen Stadium) from 1953-62. Nate’s father Mike and his uncle Chris Theunissen played in the 70s, ending with him, who is currently chasing a few records to finish out his career.
“My freshman year (having my name on the stadium) impacted me more,” Theunissen said. “I got a rough time from my team-mates, but it’s neat to see. I just give myself a little nod and a smile.”
This season, Nate has had 164 at-bats, 48 hits, and 12 extra-base hits giving him 68 total bas-es and team-leading 37 RBIs.
In all of those statistics, he is ranked in the top five of the CMU record books.
“When we have fourth or fifth year players, I always look at them like, ‘Keep getting better keep getting better,’ and at the
end of the day, you overlook the fact that he’s had a pretty good career,” said head coach Steve Jaksa. “You take a deep breath and look up and, ‘You know what, you put up some good numbers’.”
Theunissen is ranked second in doubles with 48, fourth in to-tal bases (360) and RBIs (171) and fifth in extra-base hits (75), hits (233) and in at-bats with (727).
He is one home run shy of tying
for No. 10 all-time in school his-tory with 26.
“The doubles record (stands out). You know I’ve got a shot at that right now.” Theunissen said. Theunissen ended his high school career with the 2007 MHSAA State Champi-onship for Mount Pleasant High School, and after being redshirted his first season as a Chippewa, he was ready to live up to his name.
As his career winds down, Nate Theunissen follows family’s footsteps to CMU, breaking program records
THEUNISSEN
By Jeff PapworthStaff Reporter
Jarod Trice took a year away from Central Michigan wrestling to pursue his dreams of showcasing his talents in the Summer Olympics in London this year.
In a matter of minutes Sunday in Iowa City, his goal was wrestled away from him by Tervel Dlagnev, a NCAA Division II champion at Nebraska-Kearney in 2007 and 2008.
He was two wins shy from repre-senting the red, white and blue at 125 kilos, or 275.6 pounds.
“I had the confidence going into the tournament,” Trice said. “I was disappointed in the outcome of course, but I wrestled really well. I did some of my best wrestling in this tournament.”
The scoring system used was a best of three, contrasted from the college game. The wrestler with the highest point total in each period was award-ed one point.
Dlagnev clinched a win in two pe-riods with push-outs.
“I was battling and staying in good position,” Trice said. “I rushed it a little too fast, and when I rushed it, I
stepped out of bounds and I lost the (second) period.”
Trice defeated a familiar opponent in Dom Bradley in his first match Sunday. A five-point throw was the highlight of the match.
“I ended the period on one five-point throw right off his back. It might be on ESPN’s Top-10 plays; it was that good of a throw,” Trice said. “The last time I wrestled Dom Brad-ley, I let him get away from me, and he stole the match from me, and I’m not putting up with that anymore.”

It all came down to the last pitch.The Central Michigan softball
team trailed 9-6, and freshman Caro-lAnn Sexauer was up to bat in the top of the seventh inning with two outs, the bases loaded and a full-count.
But Ball State pitcher Audrey Work-man was able to get Sexauer to pop up, completing a two-game sweep of the Chippewas.
“I thought we were in the perfect situation for the comeback, but it didn’t happen,” said head coach Margo Jonker.
CMU jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on a two-run home run by senior Molly Coldren, but BSU coun-tered with three runs in the bottom of the frame.
The Chippewas (21-22, 6-9 Mid-American Conference) added four more runs in the second, but once again, the Cardinals responded with two more, cutting the lead to one.
“The first couple innings, we took advantage of the missed pitches and really drove the ball,” Jonker said. “But the pitcher adjusted to the um-pire’s strike zone after that, and we struggled a bit on offense.”
BSU (32-12, 10-2 MAC) took the lead in the fifth when sophomore Chelsea Sundberg threw a wild pitch with the bases loaded, allowing a run to score.
Saturday, a first inning grand slam by BSU sophomore Audrey Bickel proved to be the game-winner in the 4-0 win. Two walks and an error load-ed the bases for BSU before Bickel delivered the key hit.
The Chippewas had seven hits but could not push any runs across. They left nine runners on base.
Friday, CMU and Miami each earned a shutout win in a double header.
The Redhawks took game one 4-0 before the Chippewas responded with a 2-0 victory.
Sundberg went the distance for CMU in game two, allowing two hits and walking none.
“Sundberg was amazing,” Jonker said. “She had good movement on her pitches and good location. She and (catcher) Rachael Hensel worked together extremely well and did a good job setting up Miami’s hitters.”
Comeback falls short for softball against Ball State

In the rich history of Central Michigan base-
ball, one last name has been at the forefront.
That name is Theunissen.
“It means a lot (to be a Theunissen at CMU);
we’ve got a lot of family history here at Central
going back to my grandpa, my dad, my uncle
and down to me,” said senior Nate Theunissen.
“It means a lot to me, and it’s really special.”

It’s always a good sign when one of your teammates gets a post-game shaving cream face wash.
Zach Cooper was the benefi-ciary after he had a career day in the opening game of a three-game weekend series against Kent State.
The senior starting pitcher set a career-high with 13 strikeouts, enough for a complete-game four-hitter as the Chippewas beat the Golden Flashes 3-0 Friday at Theunissen Stadium.
“I think it’s the consistency you need from your Friday guy,”
head coach Steve Jaksa said. “If Coop can be that good for us on Friday and then we don’t make any errors behind him, we’re go-ing to be pretty tough to beat on Friday.”
A rain-soaked field with a light drizzle throughout the afternoon moved the original 3:05 p.m. start time to 3:38 p.m. for the first pitch, but the conditions didn’t affect Cooper.
He opened the game striking out five of the first six batters until the offense took over in the bottom of the second inning.
Cooper is 44 strikeouts away from first all time with likely four more Friday starts and at least one MAC tournament appearance.

Theunissen led the team in his first season of play in home runs with nine and RBIs with 47.
“It was really interesting; I was getting my feet wet and nobody really heard of me. I was thrown into the DH role,” Theunissen said. “I just did my part and played my role.”
He led the team to its first
MAC West Cham-pionship since 2006 during that 2010
season with seven home runs and 54 RBIs. He helped lead the team to its second-straight MAC West Champi-onship in 2011.
So what is next for Theunissen after this season and his career is over?
“We’ll look at the draft when that comes around. If not, I have to go out and find a job,” he said.
With his career as a Chip-pewa coming to an end, Theunissen said he wants to get his team in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1995, as well as be on the top of the record books.
“He’s not done yet, and I think he can still do some work for us,” Jaksa said. “He can have some quality at-bats and put us in position to win a few more games.”
Coldren put CMU on the board in the top of the second inning by hitting a solo home run to centerfield.
The Chippewas added an-other run in the third on an RBI single by senior Ashley Gilson.
In game one, Miami senior Jessica Simpson showed why she is one of the best pitchers in
the Mid-American Conference this season.
“She was on today,” Jonker said. “She basically shut us down. We didn’t make the ad-justment quick enough. It was one of the better games I’ve seen her pitch in her four-year career.”
Simpson entered the game with a 1.39 earned run average and lowered that number by pitching a complete game, al-lowing three hits and striking
out 12 Chippewas.CMU returns home Wednes-
day for a double-header against IPFW with the first game start-ing at 2 p.m.
“We need to fight strong the rest the year,” Jonker said. “We need to get ourselves in the best position possible for the (MAC) tournament and get stron-ger pitch-by-pitch, game-by-game.”
CMU coach Tom Borrelli said the losses were nothing to be ashamed of.
“He doesn’t have any-thing to be hanging his head about,” Borrelli said. “Both of those guys have been on world teams in the past and have been on tours and have really concentrated on that style (of wrestling).”
Trice said he enjoyed the
experience and looks for-ward to going at it again in four years.
“I took this whole year off of school for this. The expe-rience that I’ve had this year has been great,” Trice said. “I’m going to keep compet-ing; I’m going to go for the next three world champion-ships. I’m also going to go for the Olympic Champion-ships in the next four years.
“I’m going for it all,” he said. “I’m going for the gold.”
Wynn Michalak
Wynn Michalak, who wrestled for CMU from 2004 through 2008, also grappled for a spot on Team USA at 96 kilos (211.6 pounds).
He lost in the first round to Craig Brester. He grabbed the first point to start off 7-0. He lost the next two, 2-1 and 4-3.
“He was very, very good,” Borrelli said. “You can’t say enough good things about his career at Central (Michi-gan).”

The Central Michigan baseball team fell below .500 in Mid-American Conference play after losing 6-4 Sunday to Kent State at Theunissen Stadium.
The Chippewas (17-24, 7-8 MAC) fell to back-to-back Mid-American Conference Champion Golden Flashes (23-16, 12-3 MAC) this week-end in a tough series.
Junior Rick Dodridge is still searching for his first win since Feb. 19 against Troy. He threw four 1/3 innings and gave up seven hits, allow-ing five runs and striking out three.
“I thought Rick was pret-ty good, but unfortunately, they hit a two-run homer in the fourth; the wind carried and went forever,” said head coach Steve Jaksa. “It wasn’t well hit, but he got it in the right place.”
Senior Jon Weaver came in for relief of Dodridge and gave up a double that scored a run, then struck out the next two hitters to end the in-ning. Weaver was solid from then on, throwing 2 and 2/3 innings, allowing two hits and striking out two. Junior Dietrich Enns came in to fin-ish the final two innings, giv-ing up just one hit and strik-ing out one.
“Our whole bullpen in re-lief has been pretty good,” Jaksa said. “I thought both Jon and Dietrich did a really good job. I just wish one of Rick’s balls would of been at somebody.”
It looked as if things were going to go the way of CMU after the first inning. Dodridge got a double play to end the top half. The Chip-pewas scored two runs off an RBI single for senior first baseman William Arnold, and senior centerfielder Tyler Hall scored on single and error.
The Chippewas didn’t score again until the sixth in-ning when Jordan Dean hit an RBI single up the middle that scored right fielder Eric Wrozek, who hit a double.
Nick Regnier left the game after he ran into the right field wall trying to catch the home run ball in the fourth.
“He’s going to the doctor tomorrow,” Jaksa said. “We took him out of the game. He had some discomfort — we’ll know more after he sees the doctor.”
KSU won games two and three after senior Zach Coo-per pitched his second com-plete game this season while throwing a 3-0 shutout with a career high of 13 strikeouts Friday.
Saturday, the Chippewas struck out 13 batters as well, but it was divided between two different pitchers.
Junior Patrick Kaminska started and went four innings throwing five strikeouts, but
also giving up nine hits and allowing four runs.
Redshirt freshman Dylan Rheault came in on relief and was very effective by striking out seven in five innings, only giving up two hits. He also walked five batters.
The batting wasn’t all bad for CMU, as senior outfielder Sam Russell batted .500, and Dean hit .385 with an RBI and two multi-hit games.
“It’s just a matter of getting into good counts with good pitches,” Dean said. “I just tried to stay calm and see the ball.”
CMU will hit the road this week at Notre Dame at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday and a MAC weekend series at Akron.
“We’re coming together pretty good,” Dean said. “It’s just a matter of playing good defense, and our sticks are going to come around in just a matter of time.”
The Central Michigan track and field team had a busy week-end competing in five meets around the country.
The Chippewas traveled throughout Michigan, Indiana and California in a four-day stretch that resulted in many ca-reer bests.
At the Polytan Invitational, held in Indiana, the CMU dis-tance team for the men saw a career day for many athletes. Sophomore Tecumseh Adams ran a career best 3:46 to finish fourth in the 1,500-meter run. Adam’s time was two seconds off from tying the school record set in 1983 by Bob Duerksen.
Adams wasn’t the only runner who had a career day. Ben Wyn-sma, Kyle Stacks, Jason Drudge and Ethan Lievense all finished with career bests.
On the women’s side, Holly Anderson, Raeanne Lohner, Ve-ronica Garcia and Krista Parks finished with career bests.
“I think the long-distance team is going in a solid di-rection, along with the other groups,” said Willie Randolph, director of track and field. “Tec (Adams) has always been some-one who is very talented, but he is starting to come into his maturation with proper coach-ing. It’s exciting to see that group come together as a whole.”
Sprinters, hurdlers and the field team competed at Grand Valley State University Saturday and had a strong performance.
Sophomore hurdler Cory Noeker won first place in the 110-meter hurdles with a ca-reer-best time of 14.46.
The relay teams helped CMU dominate by winning both the men’s and women’s 4x400 meter relays.
“Very good meet; very good solid performances,” Randolph said. “But again, we want to make sure those performances are duplicated at the confer-ence championship in three weeks.”
The trip to California was suc-
cessful for the CMU throwers at California State University in the Los Angeles Twilight Open.
Junior Alex Rose won the men’s discus, while on the wom-en’s side, freshman Milica Kulid-zan won the women’s javelin. Rose threw a season best 179-00 and won the competition by more than 11 feet.
CMU also competed at Aqui-nas College in Grand Rapids Saturday.
Senior Josh Kettlewell won the men’s pole vault, while sophomore Tim Reynolds won men’s long jump. On the wom-en’s side, Emily Dienhart won the 100-meter hurdles with a career best of 14.55.
Randolph said he is pleased with how those in the program are performing.
“It goes from great recruiting to communication and focus and making sure you’re finding the right athletes for your pro-gram,” Randolph said. “It’s de-veloping the athlete.”

Matt Sandles is shy.He is not somebody any-
one would expect to manage a bunch of 17 through 19-year-old baseball players, but that is exactly what the Central Michi-gan student has done for two of the last three years.
People who work around Sandles have said his greatest asset is his statistics gathering and most of all — recruiting.
He had to build teams from scratch every season, because most members are one-and-done players, who just finished their senior year in high school or their freshman year in col-lege. They must be 18 years old or younger when May 1 arrives to participate.
“He is an excellent recruiter,” said Sandles’ former assistant coach Jim Rousseau. “He can tell you (who) almost any of the top high school kids in Michi-gan are.”
Sandles, 21, led his U-18 summer travel team, the Michi-gan Jets, to a 32-13-1 record in the 2011 season.
“He really knows his stuff,” said former player Joe Williams. “He picked a really good group of guys, because they (were) all good players and they signed with good teams in college.”
He finds players by scouring websites and contacts them by text message or email.
The affordability is one thing that attracts players. Sandles does not make a profit.
“We’re not trying to make money,” he said. “We’re just try-ing to have fun.”
HeLpiNg pLaYers go DivisioN i
Rousseau’s son Jeffrey was left off recruiting boards of Di-vision I schools because many thought hockey was his future. Jeffrey, playing on Sandles’ squad in addition to attending camps at schools, resulted in a scholarship offer from Eastern Michigan.
“It still comes back to Matt. If Matt wouldn’t have called, and he wouldn’t have pursued, we may not be at Eastern Michi-gan,” Rousseau said. “EMU knew of him probably prior too, but they hadn’t seen him,
because he moved out of state.Sandles said it brings joy to
him when a player on one of his teams is succeeding in college. Only one player from last year’s team is not on a college roster.
“Last night, I was watching a kid that was on our team in 2008. He was on the Big Ten Network pitching for Michigan State,” he said. “That was back when I was playing, but it was pretty cool. I was really happy for him.”
age Creates probLems CoaCHiNg
Sandles created an 18-and-under traveling team in the summer of 2008, entering his senior year in high school. His role was to be a player and re-cruiter, but he took over the reigns as manager in 2009.
Rousseau said it can be a struggle for Matt, because he is not much older than his players. Sandles said he expected play-ers to practice on their own, and he was “walked all over.”
“Last year, what was he, 20 (years old)?” Rousseau said. “Well, the kids on our team were 18 and 19. He is not an athletic guy, and I think some-times athletes look at someone who is not athletic, and this may not be right, and it is what it is.
“When I started, I was a dad. I was 25 years old coaching nine year olds” he said. So if you’re 20 coaching 19 year olds, you know, it’s harder. It’s much harder.”
His team’s greatest win in
2011 was in the Triple Crown Sports Great Lakes Spectacular Championship game. The Jets won via walk-off single 10-9, after facing a 6-0 deficit in the first inning.
The day the Jets won, July 17, was a year after his grandmoth-er died. He did not manage in 2010 as a result of her deterio-rating health. He realized it was the same day after looking at the championship plaque.
“One year after I had the worst feeling in the world, I had the best feeling in the world,” Sandles said. “I truly feel she was looking down on me that day.”
His team was two-for-two against the Central Michigan Stars, coached by Central Michi-gan University’s volunteer base-ball coach Derek Simmons.
Sandles is looking forward
to his second full season at the helm this summer.
“I’m really excited. I think we got a better team than last year,” he said. “We just got to see if they can play as a team or if their egos get in the way, because they are all very talented.”
Rich Crentz is one of the longest-running traveling team coaches in Michigan, entering his tenth year. He said he hopes Sandles will continue manag-ing.
“If his team disappears like a lot of other teams disappear, then you got these kids com-ing back from college (and high school) that have no place to play,” he said. “Then they’re at a disadvantage when they go back to college.”
Junior Matt Sandles coaches travel, recruits players

Head coach Sue Guevara has announced the hiring of new women’s basketball assistant coach Andrew Woodrich.
The Central Michigan women’s basketball pro-gram was in need of a new assistant coach after for-mer assistant Kathy McGee retired March 26.
Woodrich’s job for the team will be player devel-opment (mainly perimeter players), community rela-tions and scouting.
“I’ve known Woody for the last five years. I watched his Indiana Elite AAU teams play, and I loved how they played,” Guevara said. “I loved how fast they got up and down the floor, how fundamental they were, and they play hard.”
Woodrich is experienced with a player development role with his years of AAU coaching and managing.
He spent six seasons as a vice president, direc-tor and coach at the Mid-west Basketball Academy in Indiana. He won a state championship with Elite Basketball in 2008, along with runner-ups in 2007 and 2009, while coach-ing many NCAA Division I players.
“I interviewed him two years ago when Bill (Fer-rara) left, and I just didn’t think he had enough re-cruiting experience,” Gue-vara said. “He just didn’t have what I needed at that time.”
Woodrich is also famil-iar with the Mid-American Conference. He spent the last two seasons on the Western Michigan bench as an assistant to Tasha Mc-Dowell after being the di-rector of basketball opera-tions for the Broncos.
After an 8-22 season, WMU fired coach McDowell and Woodrich has quickly found himself a new home in Mount Pleasant. He’ll be joining a program that has won back-to-back 20 win seasons as well as back-to-back postseason appear-ances and a 2011-12 MAC runner-up.
“He had a lot of influence at Western with what they did, and I thought with this second go around, I’m not going to let him go,” Gue-vara said. “He has some good recruiting ties for us, especially in Indiana and in Chicago.”
And with a focus on pe-rimeter players, he’ll have a load of young talent to coach for years to come.
“He’s not just perim-eter with our offense — he could work with the post — he’s very, very familiar with our offense,” Guevara said. “You’ll see something a little different defensively. With his AAU teams, he ran a really nice press. Thurs-day was his first day and the last day we can work with players, and he put in the bones of that press.”

The Mount Pleasant Dis-covery Museum is begin-ning to take shape.
More than $2 million has been raised for MPDM to-ward filling the museum with exhibits and covering operating expenses.
“The building is well underway,” said Jenni-fer Fields, co-founder of MPDM and member of the board of directors. “We’re still in the second phase of the campaign.”
The second phase of the MPDM campaign, called “let’s build a museum,” involves raising money to build exhibits, first-year operating expenses and an endowment.
As previously reported by Central Michigan Life, the goal of the capital cam-paign was to raise $1.8 mil-lion and $250,000 to cover the first- year operating budget.
Several commitments for exhibit sponsorship have been made, said MPDM Office Manager Heather Frisch.
“We’re still working to-ward the second half of the capital campaign,” She said.
Frisch said a firm date is not set for the opening of MPDM, but they are hoping for some time this summer.
The Morey Foundation donated $1 million and promised to match up to $500,000 in donations in the form of a grant. Dona-tions exceeded the match-ing grant.
“People are starting to become more interested,” Fields said. “We are still looking for corporate do-nors and smaller dona-tions.”
Fields said MPDM has been talking with individu-als about future donations.
Preliminary exhibit de-signs were released in a news packet detailing eight exhibits, which include: The Hive, Creation Station,
Riverways, Rocket Climber, The Greenhouse, Little Gar-deners, A Farmer’s Market and Journey to Japan.
A Farmer’s Market, mod-eled after Mount Pleasant’s weekend summer market, will include a honey stand, veggie stand, smoothie stand and a program cart.
This environment will provide role-playing, prob-lem solving and emerging
math and language literacy.The Journey to Japan ex-
hibit will include a Japa-nese house, a Zen garden, sushi spot, kimono, haiku wall, calligraphy and an origami station.
To read the full story about each exhibit, visit cm-life.com

The drive from Central Michi-gan University to the Grand Tra-verse Resort and Spa in Traverse City every weekend is coming to an end for Dewitt senior Taylor McManus.
McManus, a hospitality major and professional sales minor, is graduating in May. She has been driving to the resort and giving up her weekends for the past two years after she was chosen for an internship.
Krystal Fluette, a CMU alum-na, hired McManus as an intern and has watched her advance during her two years with the resort. Following her graduation in May, she will start her career with White Lodging at the Mar-riott Louisville-Downtown in Kentucky.
“Taylor is one of those people you don’t want to let go,” Fluette said. “But you’ve got to let her spread her wings, so to speak. I will miss her greatly.”
As an intern, McManus start-ed as a front desk agent. When summer ended, she was asked if
she could continue working dur-ing the school year.
“I worked throughout the year on the weekends,” McManus said. “The following summer, I was promoted to housekeeping supervisor, and I started work-ing again only on the weekends when school started. They let me stay on and grow with them. They knew how much I wanted to learn every aspect of my ma-jor.”
It is this dedication that got McManus the top honor in her field as a student. She was nomi-nated by her employer and then won the Star of the Industry Student of the Year Award from The Michigan Lodging & Tour-ism Association. McManus was presented with the award on March 26 at the Pure Michigan Governor’s Conference on Tour-ism at the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids.
“After I hired Taylor here, from the beginning to winning this award ... she has been impres-sive,” Fluette said.
Market and Hospitality Ser-vices Administration Professor Gary Gagnon, who is McManus’
adviser, tried to talk her out of it when she first came to him about the program.
“It is my goal to make sure the students know what they are get-ting into,” Gagnon said. “This in-dustry isn’t for everyone; we work long hours and we work when other people play, and you really have to like people to go into this business.”
Gagnon said it was this pas-sion to succeed that brought her the top honor of the biggest event in the Michigan Lodging and Tourism field, with every major hotel in the state repre-sented.
“This is the first time in my 11-year career at CMU that a stu-dent has been honored,” he said.
McManus will start her new job on May 21 as banquet man-ager.
“It was my goal to graduate CMU with a job,” she said. “I didn’t want to graduate and then go through the job-finding pro-cess. I am glad that is taken care (of) and that part of my life is fig-ured out.”
Senior Taylor McManus awarded Star of Industry, to begin work in Kentucky
