Two new fraternity houses and student homes being built on the east side of Main Street are set to be ready for the up-coming school year.

Olivieri Management devel-oped the four new buildings at 915, 1001, 1007 and 1029 S. Main St. for student use.

Two of the buildings, 1001 and 1007 S. Main St., will be used as new fraternity houses for Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Chi re-spectively.

CMU has requested state mediation in stalled contract talks with the Faculty Associa-tion.

A mediator from the Michi-gan Employment Relations Commission was expected to be present beginning with Tuesday’s negotiating session.

The university will not ex-tend the current three-year contract until a new agree-ment is reached, said Tim Con-nors, president of the FA com-

munication and dramatic arts professor.

Images of dead bodies, cancerous lungs and rot-ting teeth and gums are images people might ex-pect to see in nightmares — not on the side of ciga-rette packages.

But beginning in Sep-tember 2012, the Food and Drug Administration will require cigarette compa-nies to put the graphic im-ages on cigarette package labels to serve as a warning to users.

“I was taken aback by the picture of the dead body when I saw the pictures on the news,” said CMU alumna Casey Canon, a smoker. “I guess it doesn’t hurt, why not try it?”

The FDA said it will re-quire tobacco companies to cover the top half of cig-arette boxes with a graphic image, and 20 percent of cigarette ads will have to feature the pictures as well.

Tobacco companies will also be required to print the 1-800-QUIT-NOW phone number on ciga-rette packages.

“In my opinion, you’re going to smoke no matter what,” Canon said. “But I guess it could help with younger smokers. Adults already know about the effects of smoking but it gives a younger kid a real idea.”

This is the third major mandatory change for cig-arette warnings within the last 50 years.

1965 was the first change, when the surgeon general’s warning appeared, and the second change appeared in 1984, when more health hazard warnings were re-quired on packages.

“I think this will defi-nitely hurt the tobacco industry,” said Lansing resident Allen Moore, a non-smoker. “But I also think it’s hypocritical. If they’re that dangerous and they claim millions of peo-ple’s lives why are they still being sold?”

Allen said he still thinks the warnings are a good thing, even if they are over the top.

The university is propos-ing no immediate increase in pay and a reduction in health benefits in negotia-tions with the Faculty Asso-ciation, according to a Fa-cebook post from a faculty member.

The administration has deemed the faculty “un-

The University and the Police Officers Association of Michi-gan have reached an agree-ment for the POAM’s contract which expires June 30.

POAM’s 15 CMU members will take a pay freeze for the 2011-12 fiscal year and increase its health benefit contributions from 8 percent to 9 percent the first year of the contract.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK

breanna riley/staff photographerCorunna sophomore Jory Brown sits with her one-year-old lab-rottweiler mix, Nia, Tuesday at the Humane Animal Treatment Society, 1105 S. Isabella road. “This dog has lots of energy”, said Brown, “I love coming down here to volunteer and wish I could adopt all of the dogs.”

Tuesday that it was unusual to be cutting the matter so close.

“It’s uncharted territory for us,” Squattrito said.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Wein-stock, a faculty member, posted on Facebook a list he says the FA released detailing the university’s demands.

Mediators are generally brought in to help move for-ward stalled discussions as opposed to arbitrators who are sometimes given the pow-er to make binding decisions as a final step, Connors said.

This will have no effect on classes until the fall semes-ter begins, Connors said, because summer classes are covered under the fiscal year 2010-11 budget.

However, employees with a 12-month contract instead of a 10-month contract will see an impact on their health benefits beginning in mid-July. There are 60 members of FA under the 12-month contract, of about 650 total members.

A lOT TO COvERConnors said the groups

have met twice weekly since April 28. The FA has seven people on its bargaining team and the university has three.

“We want a fair contract, as quickly as possible and with as little disruption and animosity and hard feelings as possible,” he said.

Robert Martin, associate vice provost of Faculty and Personnel Services, said in an email he cannot com-ment on the status of current negotiations beyond the fol-lowing statement.

“Both CMU and the CMU Faculty Association remain committed to good faith bar-gaining in an effort to see if we can reach a mutually satisfy-ing new collective bargaining agreement,” Martin said.

On the FA side, the bar-gaining team consists of Krista Graham, library as-sistant professor, Phil Squat-trito, chemistry professor, Chris Owens, political sci-ence assistant professor, Da-vid Jesuit, political science associate professor, Jenni-fer Green, history associate professor, Suzanne Shellady, special education depart-ment chairperson and Brad van Eeden-Moorefield, hu-man environmental studies associate professor.

Martin, Matt Serra, direc-tor of faculty and employee relations and Ray Christie, vice provost of academic ad-ministration, represent the university’s bargaining team.

Each group is also allowed to bring in “resource people,” experts on a specific topic who help each side formu-late a position and provide information crucial to nego-tiations, Connors said.

Negotiations are not lim-ited to salary and benefits

discussions, he said, and the previous contract is 107 pag-es long, and covers “a huge range of things,” not just sal-aries and benefits.

Salary, benefits, retirement benefits, promotion, tenure, retention, departmental by-laws, reorganization policy, procedure in the event of a merger between two depart-ments, family emergency leave, disability and grievance procedure are all addressed in the document, he said.

Connors said he does not know if agreements have been reached on any issues because he is not in the bar-gaining room.

He said the bargaining committee will negotiate un-til both sides reach a consen-sus, at which point the agree-ment will be presented to the FA board, of which Connors is a member. From there, the board will determine wheth-er or not to present it to the membership who will vote on the new contract.

No agreement presented to the membership has ever been voted down, but sev-eral have not made it to that point, Connors said.

HISTORY OF DElAYSDuring the university’s

previous negotiations with the FA in 2008, a contract was not signed until November after several extensions and fact finding and arbitration sessions.

In 2005, negotiations went past the start of classes in Au-gust, after a contract exten-sion and mediation.

Connors said it is rare to see negotiations last until November, but it is common for them to continue past the contract’s initial expiration.

“To my knowledge, we’ve never signed a contract in June or July,” he said. “Since I’ve been here, we have al-ways voted mid-to late-Au-gust when we come back to school.”

The faculty negotiators are aware of negotiations at other universities, Connors said. However, they are not the most relevant part of the FA’s bargaining strategy.

“Without the full contract in front of you, it’s hard to tell what that means,” Connors said.

For example, Connors said, a 2-percent raise might sound great but depending on how much health care costs have increased, actual take-home pay may have de-clined.

Saginaw Valley State Uni-versity recently approved a 1.5 percent salary increase for the 2011-12 fiscal year of faculty contracts, and 2.5 percent the next two years.”

confirmed the following pro-posals made by the adminis-tration in negotiations with the faculty:

w Reduction of 15 to 20 percent in CMU’s contri-bution toward health care costs

w Flat rate pay increase of $0 for 2011-12, $600 each semester for 2012-13 and $750 each semester for 2013-14

w Removal of department chairs from the bargaining unit

w Removal of coaches, counselors and librarians from the bargaining unit

w An increase in the time between applications for Professor Salary Supple-ment

w A decrease in the amount awarded for pro-motions

Additional concessions in retention, promotion and tenure requirements

w Flat rate pay scale for summer teaching

w Retirement contribu-tions based on 10- or 12-month base salary, not including additional com-pensation for overloads or other sources

The initial post included incorrect figures for the flat pay increases offered, Con-nors said.

The university was con-tacted for a response to the release of information, but referred questions to the Monday release which con-firmed CMU’s request for mediation.

Ron Primeau, also an English language and lit-erature professor, said cooperation between the university and the FA has been a model to the nation

since its inception, and he worries a national trend in distaste for state-employed workers could harm the ef-forts.

He urged fellow faculty and others concerned by the university’s stance in negotiations to join the FA’s campaign in emailing CMU administrators involved in the bargaining process.

“We’re just trying to tell people what we are about,” Primeau said.

“The students are basically creating their own line,” said Kirstie Fish, Troy graduate student and fashion camp counselor. “They are going to go to Goodwill, choose pieces of clothing and then use them to create their line.”

But not all students are interested in just the design part of fashion; there are many other areas that receive less mainstream attention.

“I want to be a buyer, which is someone who chooses what is sold in the store,” said Mad-eline Bonfils, Berkley resident and incoming CMU fresh-man. “I can easily go into a store and pick out things that look good.”

Bonfils said her inter-est in fashion started when

her mother bought a sewing machine so she could make quilts.

After messing around on the machine, Bonfils said, she started making little things like skirts and pillows.

“I like the buyer element of fashion,” Bonfils said. “I love fashion and I took a market-ing class in high school and was really interested in that, so it works out perfectly that I can use both.”

Fourteen-year-old Texas resident Emily Allen is all about the apparel.

“I love wearing the clothes, and I love the idea of us de-signing our own line,” she said.

Fish said students got a chance to see what the fash-ion world is all about on Mon-day. On Tuesday, they created sketches of their ideas and on Wednesday, the students plan to make the trip to Goodwill

Industries, 1313 S. Mission St.Thursday will be a work

day for students to get their designs ready for Friday’s fashion show at 2 p.m. in the Education and Human Ser-vices Building’s French Audi-torium.

“At the fashion show, stu-dents will create display boards showing each step that was taken to create their design,” Fish said. “They then will bring their designs to life in a live fashion show where they will be their own mod-els.”

DESIgn CAmPCoinciding with the fash-

ion camp for the first year is an interior design camp.

Interior design camp direc-tor Brenda Skeel said five high school students will attend week-long sessions in hopes of creating a presentation for the Mount Pleasant Discov-

ery Museum.“They gave us some things

for inspiration,” she said. “(And) we are working on designing some spaces for them.”

The presentation will take place 7 p.m. Thursday in the Education and Human Ser-vices Building, and Skeel said depending on how the event goes, the presentation may be implemented in different ways.

“We might be showing it as a part of a fundraiser,” she said. “Or the client might po-tentially use the ideas and in-corporate them.”

Skeel said, though the work of both camps stays separate, the final event for both camps is combined.

“We’re going to help set up the fashion show Thursday night,” she said.

IN THE NEWSSuPrEME COurT lIFTS lIMITS ON SAlE OF VIOlENT VIDEO GAMES TO MINOrS

By David G. SavageMCT Campus

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a California law that limited the sale of violent video games to mi-nors, ruling the restriction violated the free speech principles in the First Amendment.

“Like books, plays and movies, video games com-municate ideas,” Justice Antonin Scalia said. “The most basic principle of First Amendment law is that government has no power to restrict expression because of its content.”

The ruling came on a 7-2 vote.

Scalia spoke for five members of the court who

ruled that under no cir-cumstances could the gov-ernment be allowed to at-tempt to protect children by limiting violence in the media.

“There is no tradition in this country of specially re-stricting children’s access to depictions of violence,” Scalia said in the court-room. “Certainly, the books we give children to read — or read to them when they are younger — have no shortage of gore. Grimm’s Fairy Tales, for example, are grim indeed.” Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia So-tomayor and Elena Kagan joined his opinion.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., ap-

plauded California’s effort to deal with a “serious so-cial problem: the effect of exceptionally violent video games on impressionable minors.” But they too voted to strike down the state’s law because it did not spell out clearly enough the lim-its that the gaming indus-try must follow.

Justices Clarence Thom-as and Stephen G. Breyer filed separate dissents. Thomas said minors had no free speech rights. Brey-er said he thought the law was constitutional as is.

The decision comes as a relief to the entertainment industry, which worried a decision upholding the California law could trigger similar measures across the country.

“Both CMU and the CMU faculty association remain committed to good faith bargaining in an effort to see if we can reach a mutually

satisfying new collective bargaining agreement.”

Bar codes have become a little more interactive thanks to an in-creasingly popular 21st century makeover.

Quick response codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be read by smartphones. They consist of black modules ar-ranged in a square pattern on a white background.

These codes make it easy to go straight to a URL, text or other location with a quick snap of a phone camera.

“QR codes takes students straight to the link of advertise-ment,” said Kole Taylor, a tech-nical writer at CMU’s Office of Technology.

He said OIT used QR codes to promote its March technology summit. The codes were placed on bus stop advertisements, and linked back to program registra-tion information.

Ann Arbor sophomore Ethan Maulbetsch said he does not like QR codes despite their popularity.

“I feel like it takes just as much time to take the picture of the code as it would to just type in the link,” he said.

However, many of the codes serve to cater to user curiosity.

Jeffrey McDowell, OIT associ-ate director of user services and support, said he scans QR codes to find out what else he can learn about something.

He said he likes the amount of engagement the codes can add to a poster or an advertisement.

“It makes you want to find out what that information is,” he said.

Taylor said in addition to link-

ing code users to more informa-tion about something specifi-cally, many companies use QR codes to monitor how many people visit their site.

He said for a company, it is an easy way to see how effective its ads are.

“I think, initially, people were sort of confused when they saw them, but definitely with the sort of presence of technology ... have come to adopt them more regu-larly,” he said. “I think more and more people are being exposed to these and therefore probably know what they are.”

Smartphone technologyQR code readers are only one

of many functions smartphones can handle.

Not only are QR codes growing around campus, but the pres-ence of smartphones is growing as well.

“I can stay connected with people, especially because Face-book and email are easy to ac-cess,” said Ovid freshman Mor-gan Roberts. “Plus, it is always helpful to have the GPS on my phone in case I get lost.”

The phones have also found their way into the classroom, al-lowing students to access Black-board for on-the-go course up-dates and information.

“We may see more uses of this type of technology in the class-rooms in time to come, though it isn’t certain,” Taylor.

Mount Pleasant’s nightlife will get a boost with the opening of two new restaurants and clubs.

Midori, a sushi bar, could open as early as next month in downtown Mount Pleasant. Lo-cated at 105 E. Broadway St., the business plans to bring unique cuisine, a wide assortment of drinks and a chic atmosphere to downtown, said owner Rich Swindlehurst.

All major construction has been completed in the bar, which is expected to be able to seat about 60 guests.

Swindlehurst is excited to see the sushi bar open as it reaches its final stages of construction. He expects the bar to have a different environment than the Blue Gator Sports Pub and Grill, 106 Court St., which he also manages.

“I think it will be a nice, classy addition to the town for a dining and socializing environment,” Swindlehurst said. “We’re really excited to see the final outcome.”

No date has been selected for a grand opening yet, but Swindle-

hurst expects the business to be running smoothly before the masses of students, faculty and others return to Mount Pleasant for classes in the fall.

Another restaurant, L-1 Bar & Grille, 1705 S. Mission St., is in early stages of construction, but no estimates have been made as to when it will open. What used to be R & R Laundromat will now be a restaurant with nightclub hours from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. permitted to serve beer and liquor.

Developers refused to com-ment about the opening of the restaurant, saying there are still too many steps that need to be taken before knowing when it may open.

Rumors that Coco Joe’s, 4855 Blue Grass Road, could relocate soon have been confirmed to be false, and the restaurant will re-main at its current location.

Manager Dave Lutzkey and owner John Hunter had con-sidered moving Coco Joe’s to a downtown location in the past, but have no intentions of relo-cating the restaurant any time soon, Lutzkey said.

New sushi bar to open before fall

CMU’s campus is grow-ing a little greener thanks to the efforts of volunteers and youngsters at the Child Development and Learning Lab.

Campus Grow, a local-food focused registered stu-dent organization, hosted a planting day for the chil-dren at the CDLL in May and has cared for the plants ever since. Teacher Mari Potter and her class of about a dozen 4 and 5 year olds, along with members of the RSO, planted an assortment of lilac cuttings, squash and watermelon seeds.

“It’s a great way to teach the children about all the different plants,” Potter said. “They get to learn how it all works, from planting the seeds until it catches root, and be-fore long they will be fully grown plants, very similar to these children.”

Campus Grow cares for two gardens on CMU’s campus. One is located west of the parking lot by Theunissen Stadium on West Campus Drive, and another directly behind the Industrial Engineering and Technology building.

Brazil junior Emilie Jordao worked as a Cam-pus Grow volunteer over spring semester. She helped organize the day of planting, which was de-layed due to rainy weath-er.

“I love to see the kids get excited about planting,” she said. “They smile and it makes me smile. We all have such a good time!”

Five-year-old Mount Pleasant resident Kiera Harsh participated in the planting, and ended the activity with a smile and dirt-covered hands.

“I like planting the purple and pink flowers,

because that’s my favorite color,” she said.

Elena Bozzi was one of five members who tended to the gardens throughout the summer semester.

“There was a dry spell so some of the watermelons didn’t survive, but the ones that did are coming along very nicely,” the Sterling Heights senior said.

Campus Grow, a non-profit, relies on volunteers, donations and selling its own organically grown pro-duce to get the money it needs. For $25, anyone can rent a plot of land from one of the two gardens.

Other than the pea plants, more than a dozen different

varieties of vegetables will not be harvested until the end of the summer.

“I love plants,” Bozzi said. “I love to watch them grow, and I especially love eat-ing food that I’ve grown. I am 100 percent about lo-cal food; the more local, the better.”

Campus Grow utilizes and researches non-toxic and organic means of producing a variety of open-pollinated fruits and vegetables. It was founded two years ago by Manistee senior Chris Ven-egas.

The CMU Summer The-atre Company, consisting of only 12 students, per-formed three separate plays last week.

The 12 multi-faceted in-dividuals brought “Shiva-ree,” “Proof” and “Guest Artist” to life at Bush The-atre, filling roles both on and off the stage. Students in the company were not only responsible for acting and memorizing lines, but also for the lighting, sound, costumes, props and staff-ing the theater.

Five performances to-tal were held starting with “Proof” which was per-formed on Wednesday and once again on Saturday. “Guest Artist” was per-formed twice as well on Thursday and Sunday, and “Shivaree” could be seen on Friday.

Director of University Theatre Steve Berglund was pleased with the qual-ity of the shows from the 2011 company thus far. The company will also perform in July at the Waterford Performing Arts Center and the Howmet Playhouse in Whitehall, where they will have to take props and large set pieces with them.

Berglund, who directed “Guest Artist,” looked for multi-talented individuals when auditions were held for the company back in February.

“When I cast a show, I try to pick the best actors for the role,” he said. “But putting a company togeth-er is different than putting a cast together. It’s pretty competitive in terms of the skill sets they bring to the audition.”

The productions have

been no easy task for the students in the company, who have been practicing six days a week for almost five weeks. However, most of the students had no ob-jection to the amount of experience they were get-ting.

Mount Pleasant junior Richard Bronson performed large roles as Joseph Harris in “Guest Artist” and Robert in “Proof,” and assisted di-rector Keeley Stanley-Bohn for “Shivaree.” Bronson, who had never performed in Bush Theater before, was pleased with the experi-ence offered from the sum-mer company.

“It’s a great opportunity

to learn everything about theater,” Bronson said. “( Joseph Harris) was by far the largest role I’ve ever had.”

New Lothrop junior Josh-ua Schiefer acted as the Ticket Man in “Guest Artist” and worked as the props master for the company. Schiefer enjoyed work-ing with the small com-pany, who he said became good friends throughout the many practices and re-hearsals.

“You really get to ex-perience all the aspects,” Schiefer said. “We even built the sets ourselves.”

For some Mount Pleasant residents, it’s about more than just putting one foot in front of the other.

Mount Pleasant’s Parks and Recreation department sponsors Walk Mount Pleas-ant, a community program aimed at promoting health and wellness at 7 p.m. every Thursday through Aug. 5.

The walking program is open to all participants, many of whom bring friends and family to enjoy the scen-ery of Mount Pleasant.

Mill Pond Park and River Walk Trail, 607 S. Adams St., Mission Creek Woodland

Park, 1458 N. Harris St., and Island Park, 331 N. Main St., are just a few of the walkway destinations.

“You can go at your own pace,” said Kevin Troshak, one of the Parks and Recre-ation officials in charge of the program. “It’s complete-ly non-competitive. Every Thursday it’s a different park, and it really gives people the chance to do something healthy.”

There are anywhere from 20 to 35 people that participate on a given Thursday. To give people an incentive to come back, they are given a playing card each time they show up.

“It works like poker,” said Theresa Collovecchio of Parks and Recreation. “The more they participate, the better chance they have at getting a good hand, and at the end of the year, we give

away a three- or six-month membership to Wellness Central Fitness.”

Mount Pleasant resident Carol Lemmer brings her daughter and friends to walk with her. Lemmer has partic-ipated in Walk Mount Pleas-ant for three years, and won last year’s contest.

“I won a six-month mem-bership, so it’s definitely been a major incentive,” Lemmer said. “But my favor-ite part is getting exercise in all the different parks with my friends.”

This is the fourth year Parks and Recreation has hosted Walk Mount Pleasant. Those interested in participating can contact Mount Pleasant’s Parks and Recreation depart-ment at 779-5331 for more information.

Pedestrians gather at city parks

Detroit Cass Tech quarter-back Keith Moore was the star of the 30-13 East victory at the High School All-Star Game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Sat-urday, but several future Chip-pewas also made notable im-pacts.

Moore, who will be playing for Saginaw Valley next year, was eight for 13 passing for 212 yards and three touchdowns.

“I was just trying to hit ev-erything that was open and do the stuff we were working on all week,” Moore said.

One of Moore’s best plays came in the third quarter on a third down and long with five minutes left. He scrambled, threw a blind pass down the sideline and found Cadil-lac’s Ray Tillman for a 55-yard touchdown pass that sealed the deal.

“I was just trying to make a play,” Moore said. “I knew I had to keep it in and I saw my re-ceiver open so I gave it a shot.”

The touchdown was Moore’s third of the day. The other two were both to Farmington’s Ja-son Wilson, who will join the CMU football team in the fall. One came in the first for 61 yards and the other in the sec-ond for 68 yards, and he ended the day with three catches for 136 yards.

“(Moore is) great and he’ll have a great college career,” said East coach and Manchester High School coach Wesley Gall. “He’s quick on his feet and has a nice arm and puts a nice touch on the ball.”

Grand Haven’s Dalton Stenberg intercepted Tommy Vento’s pass, giving the West a first and goal. But J.W. Sexton’s Onjae Miller fumbled the ball at the 10-yard line, where Yp-silanti’s Feerooz Yacoobi recov-ered the ball for the East.

The West’s next drive, cour-tesy of Traverse City Central’s Mack Savereign, connected

with Ithaca’s Luke Capen for a 21-yard touchdown, but it was all about the East from there.

“It was like a dream,” Gall said. “It was like working, but you’re on vacation.”

The other future Chippewas in the game performed well.

For the East, Melvindale linebacker Courtney Williams had one tackle. Cousino tight end Ben McCord came down with two catches for 12 yards and made a spectacular catch in the endzone, but was forced out by West defender and fu-ture Chippewa Nick Beamish.

On the West, St. John’s line-backer Colin Wilson led the team in tackles with six. Rock-ford linebacker Brett Egnatuk had four of his own.

Orchard View tight end Cole Walderzak came down with a few nice catches and Holt linemen Kenny Rogers and Standish-Sterling’s Ahmeti Ra-madan were strong on the line.

The win marked the East’s 17th victory to the West’s 14.
