Central Michigan Univer-sity’s Health Services is now a part of the College of Medi-cine.

In a release sent out Tues-day by CMU, “the partnership will give UHS and its patients direct access to CMED’s newly formed clinical practices.”

will “renew its focus on rais-ing awareness of the health care resources available to students on campus, such as preventive advice, coun-seling services and immuni-zations … UHS also will as-sess ways to address barriers

McGuire and Fancher are for children kinder-garten through fourth grade, and West Inter-mediate has a program for fifth through eighth grade children.

PEAK began in 2001 and was funded by the U.S. Department of Edu-cation until May 2005.

The Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation Department now admin-isters PEAK in partner-ship with Mount Pleasant Public Schools.

It’s no secret enrollment among Michigan’s public uni-versities is down. Summer I enrollment at CMU fell eight percent compared to 2011, and Johnson said the state’s shrinking high school mar-ket and competition from other schools — Saginaw Val-ley State University, Oakland University and Wayne State University, specifically — has forced the university to look out of state for perspective students.

“All of us have been dis-cussing this openly,” Johnson told the board. “We all have very similar challenges as we’re looking at a very differ-ent economic market … and it’s causing all of us to step back and reassess how we ap-proach strategy for attracting students to our institution.”

About $345 million was

tabbed for the general fund, including $138 million for faculty and staff salaries and another $62.4 million for ben-efits. The university is allo-cating $32.6 million for schol-arships and financial aid, a general fund increase of about $1 million from the 2011-12 budget. Total university-funded student aid will be $54.6 million, an $8 million-increase from 2011-12.

The university anticipates $205.6 million from on-cam-pus tuition and fees, $49.3 million from Global Campus tuition and fees and $14.75 million from department ac-tivity. Revenue from student tuition and fees makes up nearly 75 percent of the oper-ating budget.

CMU plans to spend $96.4 million on non-general fund items, such as athletics, the Events Center, Parking Ser-vices and residences and auxiliary services. Athletics is expected to bring in $6.8 million, an increase from $6.4

million last year, but will re-ceive a $17.1 million subsidy from the university for a total budget of about $24 million.

Other items frOm the meeting:

*While no capital projects are ongoing, $5.7 million from the capital budget was ap-proved for deferred mainte-nance projects. Among them include $1 million for infra-structure improvements to Anspach Hall, $820,000 for roof replacement, $450,000 for domestic water pipe re-placement and $188,000 for sidewalk repair.

*The board approved $1.6 million from university re-serves for a campus facilities master plan, a document ad-dressing capital needs, in-cluding building projects and possible future expansion over the next 10 years. The last master plan was conduct-ed in 2001.

The summer camps have a different theme each week, such as “Around the World in 5 Days,” “PEAK Gives Back” and “Camp PEAK’s Got Tal-ent”.

Each morning, campers par-ticipate in academic enrich-ment activities, like math board games and arts and crafts. Dur-ing the afternoon, the partici-pants can play sports, make crafts and watch movies.

“It’s great for kids to have something other than sitting at home,” said Tim Taylor, Fancher Elementary Site Co-ordinator.

Along with learning ac-tivities, the kids have the op-portunity to participate in a community service day at Island Park and a water day at the East Lansing Aquatic Center.

“It’s really awesome, be-cause we get to do fun things and meet new friends,” said Amaya Branch, 9, of Mount Pleasant.

Branch’s mom, Jaime

Branch, said the camp is a good way to keep kids learn-ing and active while giving parents a breather.

“I love it,” she said. “It gives me free time.”

Jean Gilbert, 7, said her favorite activity is arts and crafts. She also loves to play with other kids and meet new friends.

“It’s a very nice program,” said Barb Ley, Gilbert’s grandma. “It keeps them in-teractive with other children their age.”

Mitt Romney’s record as a business executive has been called into question by the Obama campaign and sev-eral media outlets, putting the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on de-fense.

For weeks, President Barack Obama and his allies have accused Romney of out-sourcing, jobs to maximize profits as president and CEO of Bain Capital, a private eq-uity company. Romney has consistently countered that he is not to blame for the outsourcing because it hap-pened after he left Bain in February 1999 to manage the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Several reports, however, have called into question whether or not Romney did in fact leave Bain when he says he did.

According to the Boston Globe, “public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital  state he remained the firm’s sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and presi-dent” as late as 2002. Addi-tionally, Romney earned at

least $100,000 from Bain as an “executive” in 2001 and 2002.

The report also found nine other SEC documents show-ing Romney with managerial control of several Bain enti-ties formed after 1999. In ad-dition, SEC filings submitted by Bain after Feburary 1999 were signed by Romney, in-cluding a file documenting the acquisition of ChipPAC Inc., which, according to the Washington Post, outsourced manufacturing jobs.

Romney also gave sworn testimony in 2002, while running for governor in Massachusetts, that he  “re-mained on the board of the Staples Corporation and Marriott International (and) the LifeLike Corporation.” Bain held a stake in LifeLike until 2001.

Obama says these find-ings contradict Romney’s 2011 federal disclosure form, which says he “has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the opera-tions of any Bain Capital en-tity in any way” after Feb. 11, 1999.

Romney and his surro-gates have been adamant that Romney did leave Bain

in February 1999, as he has been saying in public.

“He took a leave of ab-sence (in 1999), and, in fact, he ended up not going back at all and retired retroactive-ly to 1999 as a result,” senior Romney adviser Ed Gillespie said Sunday.

The Obama campaign, seeking to define their oppo-nent as an out-of-touch plu-tocrat, has hammered Rom-ney over the reports and SEC filings and has renewed its calls for Romney to release tax returns prior to 2010.

“Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was mis-representing his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony, or he was misrepre-senting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments,” Obama Deputy Campaign Secretary Stepha-nie Cutter said.

Romney called the attacks “disgusting,” “dishonest” and “demeaning” and demanded an apology from Obama for Cutter’s remarks.

“He’s not going to get an apology,” Cutter said.

Kahn did not return phone calls seeking comment.

KAHN|continued from 1“She gets to go home and

live that dream,” Ross said. “We’re very happy for her.”

Alvord ends her duties at CMU on Aug. 31. Until then, she is working with Dr. Joel Lanphear, who will replace Alvord in an interim role. Ross says Yoder is actively seeking new applicants and hopes to have a replacement filled in the fall.

Despite losing its second associate dean in two years, Ross remains confident about the project. Yoder said they have addressed the five areas of concern named in the Liaison Committee on Medical Education’s prelim-inary accreditation report. About 500 applications have already come in, many from Michigan, and they will be-gin the interview process next month and begin ac-cepting students in mid- to late-October.

Kathy Wilbur, vice presi-

dent of development and ex-ternal relations, said Thurs-day the university has raised 56 percent of its $25 million goal for CMED. Naming op-portunities within the facil-ity, ranging from $25,000 to $1 million-plus, are also avail-able.

Yoder also received good news at the meeting when trustees approved $800,000 in additional funding, to come from university re-serves, for the design devel-opment phase of the medical school’s Saginaw campus, also known as CMED East. To date, CMU has invested $1.75 million into CMED East.

Once the design phase begins, officials will have a better idea as to what the facility will cost, Yoder said.

“We’re concentrating on the three Fs: funding, facili-ties and faculty,” Yoder said. “Those are the three key areas the LCME told us we have to hit, so that’s where the bulk of our work has been.”

Although there has been

widespread criticism of CMED on campus, Yoder and Ross remain optimistic.

Even if it means having a sense of humor.

“What keeps you up at night?” trustee William Kanine asked Yoder with a chuckle.

In between laughs among those in attendance, Ross quipped: “Ernie, don’t call on me.”

“The president does not keep me up at night,” Yoder replied. “This is a bigger task than anyone of us could have anticipated. At least from my perspective, there is no way that anybody could have dreamed to prepare them-selves for what it takes to start a medical school, but I’m super confident.

“We’re working hard to raise funds … making good progress with faculty, and facilities are coming into shape.”

“A lot of it stays the same under different manage-ment,” he said. “I want to stress we want to work with students to find what is nec-essary for them.”

Yoder said they would talk to the Student Gov-ernment Association about surveys and focus groups to assure the services, times and locations of the clinic will be what students want and need. His team plans to “start the conversation right after Labor Day and have the data implemented early fall.”

“As the College of Medi-cine develops its clinical practice sites, it makes per-fect sense to provide addi-tional top-quality, high-value health care for our own stu-dent body,” CMED associate dean Sean Kesterson said in the release.

United Apartments is seek-ing information about firework damage to one of their apart-ment buildings, and they’re of-fering a reward.

“United Apartments is offer-ing a $500 reward for informa-tion detailing the persons in-volved with the fireworks that caused the damages to Polo Village (Corner of Douglas St. and May St.) the night of July 8, 2012,” a release from United Apartments said. “Any informa-tion received will stay anony-mous and confidential.”

Erica Jenks, a 21-year-old senior from Grand Ledge, lives in Apartment No. 4 of Polo Village’s 900 building. She said the damage to her apart-ment caused a hole in her wall, which has now been repaired by maintenance.

“It actually damaged our apartment,” Jenks said. “They damaged our wall, and now we have this huge hole in my room-

mate’s wall. We found it July 8 when we got back.”

Jenks said she thinks it’s great if people want to set off fireworks, as long as they are careful. She is grateful the mis-sile went through the wall and not a person.

“I think it’s fine as long as people aren’t doing it around buildings, especially when there’s people in them,” she said.

Fireworks have been the cen-ter of debate recently in Michi-gan. The Michigan Fireworks Safety Act, recently signed by Gov. Rick Snyder, allows the usage and sale of class C

consumer-grade fireworks in Michigan. According to MLive.com, the Bay City Commission has been working on an ordi-nance prohibiting any person to ignite, use or discharge any fire-works within the city except for the day before, the day of and the day after a national holiday.

Officials from United Apart-ments declined to comment. Anyone with information about the damage to the building is asked to call United Apart-ments at 989-775-6789 or email them at [email protected].

Panera Bread is officially open in Mount Pleasant.

The bakery-café, located at the former Fazoli’s site at 2111 S. Mission St., had more than 1,000 customers on its opening day inside the res-taurant, on the patio and at the drive-thru.

Manna Development Group Marketing Director Brian Campbell said it was a great opening.

“We had a very busy lunch. We feel it will be a quick and convenient stop for custom-ers to come in over time,” Campbell said. “It was a great first-day crowd.”

Panera Bread offers sever-al foods like hand-tossed sal-ads, sandwiches, drinks and a Panera Kids menu. The bak-ery also offers freshly baked breads, baked egg soufflés and many other sweets. A popular pick for custom-ers, like 21-year-old Oakland County junior Jalese John-son; is the “You Pick Two,”

which offers your choice of sandwich and soup, among other choices.

“This may be my new fa-vorite place to eat. It’s a healthier alternative in Mount Pleasant, and it’s not that expensive,” Johnson said. “It’s really cool.”

The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mon-day through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. The res-taurant also offers free WiFi and has about 45 employees including managers, said Director of Operations Josh Thompson. Thompson said the restaurant is looking for-ward to the amount of busi-ness they’re expected to have once Central Michigan Uni-versity’s fall semester begins and the football season picks up.

“It’s been a good opening. We’re excited for what’s to come,” Thompson said.

Panera Bread is one of many new businesses in the Mount Pleasant area that

have opened or are on their way to being open. Among other businesses include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Belle Tire, PetSmart and O’Reilly Automotive.

Randy Meyer, who previ-ously worked on installing wiring in the building, said he had never seen Fazoli’s as full as Panera was on its opening day.

Among one of Panera Bread’s first customers was 19-year-old Romeo sopho-more Ben Devereaux, who ate a ham and swiss sand-wich with his friends on the patio. Devereaux and his friends said they liked how the servers bring their food to their table instead of be-ing forced to pick it up at the counter, as well as how the greeter hands you a menu as you walk in the door.

“I’ve been watching it go up every single day when I drove by on my way to work,” Devereaux said. “It was quite the grand opening.”

Five players appear to be join-ing the list of athletes not return-ing to the Central Michigan bas-ketball team this season.

Forwards Auston Barnes, Zach Saylor and Colin Voss along with guards John Morris and Jorddan Myrick have not shown up for the six-week summer workout pro-gram.

The Chippewas have already lost scoring leader Trey Zeigler and assist leader Austin McBroom to transfers along with guard Der-ek Jackson and forward Jevon Harden, who were dismissed last month due to academic issues.

“We don’t have a final roster, and we’re not closing any doors right now,” head coach Keno Davis said. “I’m being careful to not close any doors until we un-derstand exactly what’s going on with every player.”

If those five players do not re-turn to CMU, that leaves just four returning players from last sea-son’s roster.

Senior guard Finis Craddock, senior forward Olivier Mbaigoto, junior guard Luke Wiest and sophomore guard Austin Keel have all shown up for summer workouts.

Of those four, Mbaigoto is the most prolific offensively, averag-ing 7.1 points per game last season.

Craddock’s future with the team is also unknown follow-ing a drunken driving arrest in April. He was convicted late last

month of driving while impaired, knocked down from an original charge of driving while intoxicat-ed, and sentenced to six months probation. He was “indefinitely suspended” in April.

“We’re going to have high ex-pectations for our players on the court, off the court and in the classroom,” Davis said. “If those aren’t met, then there will be re-percussions.”

So far, the team that has shown up this summer has met Davis’ expectations. He said he hopes a young team will result in a deep bench.

“I was hoping with … young players that our effort would be there, and my expectations have been met,” Davis said. “We’re go-ing to be able to play nine or 10 players in rotation, and hopefully we’ll be able to beat teams on our depth.”

Along with being young, the Chippewas will be guard-heavy with a roster full of shooters. Ev-ery player that has arrived to prac-tice this summer has the ability to shoot behind the arch, Davis said.

He will need every second to implement his offensive and de-fensive schemes.

“We have an opportunity for these young guys to go through these stages and see how good of a team we can become,” Davis said. “It’s really important for us to use every minute we have on the court.”

Central Michigan junior thrower Alex Rose recently trav-eled to Cairns, Australia and rep-resented Samoa in the Oceania Area Championships.

Rose’s father was born and raised in Samoa before moving to the United States when he was 19.

“I learned a lot about the differ-ent cultures over there,” Rose said. “They view athletics, or as we call it‘track and field,’ a lot differently. It was a great experience learning about my Samoan heritage.”

Rose competed and won gold in both the hammer throw and discus events.

Rosa said his father was very proud that Rose represented his Samoan roots.

“He was very proud of me for doing that,” Rose said. “It’s a com-pletely different feeling compet-ing for a country than a universi-ty. People were shouting Samoan when I went up to throw.”

While he wasn’t representing CMU, director of track and field Willie Randolph was pleased about Rose’s international effort.

“He represented Central

Michigan on a very high interna-tional level,” Randolph said. “We are very proud of him and proud of his coaching. His coaches maintained him at a fitness where he was able to obtain two gold medals.”

Rose doesn’t compete in the hammer throw for CMU but was still able to win gold with a mark of 167-07.75 on his final throw. He said he was very pleased with his results in both events.

Randolph credits Rose’s talent and ability as an athlete and be-lieves that Rose could compete in the hammer throw in the future for CMU.

“Yes, that is a possibility, but Alex is a very talented athlete,” he said. “ A lot of people know that he is an All-American in the discus, but our coaches make sure our athletes can come in and do more than one event.”

In the discus event, Rose

threw for a mark of 184-08.25-his second-best effort of his career. Rose’s closest competition was nearly 20 feet behind.

In the closing ceremonies, Rose helped lead his Samoan team in a dance against the New Zealand team.

“We went head-to-head with their Haka and our dancing,” Rose said. “We were all screaming and yelling at each other. It was a lot of fun, but I do not think I danced as well as I threw.”

Randolph is expecting big things from Rose, who will be en-tering his senior season.

“We are expecting the same stuff we expect from all of our athletes from day one,” Randolph said. “That’s to go out there, reach for the sky, reach for the highest part of your goals and enjoy the rewards that come with it.”

GVSU hikES tUitiOn COStS

Grand Haven Tribune, Mich.(MCT)

July 14—ALLENDALE— Grand Valley State Univer-sity will increase tuition for Michigan residents by $181 per semester beginning this fall semester.

This brings the annual tu-ition to $10,078.

The tuition hike was an-nounced Friday after the Board of Trustees approved the university’s fiscal year 2013 budget.

University leaders cited research showing that GVSU has held changes in its oper-ating costs to the rate of in-flation for the past 20 years and that it has reduced the cost of producing a degree by

14 percent in the past decade.The reality, the univer-

sity stated in a news release, is that state support in the past 20 years has diminished from two-thirds of GVSU’s revenue to just 17 percent of revenue. State aid was cut by 15 percent last year.

The university is expect-ed to receive state funding of $52.6 million plus a one-time state grant of $2.8 mil-lion. The entire state alloca-tion will be used for student financial aid, debt service, capital maintenance and utilities for classroom build-ings.

“Grand Valley has the lowest per-student funding in the state and nearly the

lowest in the nation,” Presi-dent Thomas Haas said. “The challenge is clear. We are increasing financial aid beyond the increase in tu-ition, and we’re keeping our tuition rate below the state average for public universi-ties.”

GVSU Board Chairwom-an Shelley Padnos said the trustees approved the bud-get, keeping in mind access and affordability for stu-dents.

“We have to maintain the quality the state needs from Grand Valley to produce the strong graduates who are having a real hand in lead-ing us to a more prosperous time,” Padnos said.

It might not have been magical, but there was defi-nitely something in the air when “Magic Mike” hit the screens June 29.

With the release of the “Magic Mike” trailer in April, women celebrated men be-coming the subject of the ta-boo practice of stripping. So-cial media was flooded with users’ favorite characters, while events were being cre-ated left and right in hot an-ticipation of the premiere.

While the movie was too simplified to be breaking any norms, it did bring into light one clear lesson: women can enjoy objectified men as much as men have appreci-ated the female side. They are

also an important population to please, a feat that acade-my-award-winning director Steven Soderbergh and Chan-ning Tatum achieved by fo-cusing on what women want.

The film follows the men of Tampa’s Xquisite Club as they tease women out of their minds and money. It focuses on Tatum as “entrepreneur” Mike Lane and his work-hard-party-harder lifestyle.

Although Mike dreams of becoming a furniture maker, the economy has kept him working under the counter and on stage for years. After seeing Adam (Alex Pettyfer) getting fired, Mike takes him under his wing, introduc-ing him to the local scene as “The Kid.” The two become friends, which ends up be-coming the connection that

leads to the movie’s not-so-great climax.

What I liked about this film is that it didn’t try to hide its appeal. Soderbergh knew his audience and what they wanted to see and made sure to give it to them. The dance performances in the club were amazingly choreographed, and the music throughout the movie kept the energy and scenes moving.

The plot, however, was so boring it often brought down the characters with it, in-cluding Mike’s love interest, Brooke (Cody Horn). Horn scowls through most of her interactions with Tatum and was not believable or even attractive.  Club owner Dal-las (Matthew McConaughey) was too chauvinistic to be appealing, although McCo-

naughey finally has the per-fect movie to flaunt all those muscles.

The true star of this movie was Tatum, whose months of professional stripping gave him the realistic moves, com-bined with the acting skills from such movies as “Dear John” and “The Vow.”

The perfect excuse for a la-dies’ night out? More like the best ex-x-x-cuse.

Facilities master planto cost CMU $1.6 million, to be finished in 2013By Aaron McMannEditor-in-Chief

Central Michigan Uni-versity’s Board of Trustees approved Thursday a $1.6 million facilities master plan that would shape the future of campus.

The plan, which includes planning for possible site locations and parking flows, was first brought up in Oc-tober when David Burdette, vice president for finance and administrative services, sent out an email to the uni-versity community.

The last master plan was completed in 2001 and was later updated in 2003.

“The master plan process will support the university’s goals, mission and values,” University President George Ross said during the trustees meeting. “It will strengthen the vitality of CMU’s academic community and the environ-ment for students’ success.”

Burdette said CMU will be-gin negotiating with firms this month, including SHWGroup – the same architecture firm that designed the Education and Human Services building and did preliminary work on the proposed Bioscience build-ing – and hopes to have them on board by August.

The contractors will then be tasked with completing a basic review of facilities and making recommendations for land use

and space utilization. Burdette said CMU plans to involve fac-ulty, students and staff through committee meetings.

Ultimately, a report will be presented to Ross, hopefully by April 2013, Burdette said.

“We sit in this air-condi-tioned room and take it for granted,” Ross said. “There’s a whole lot of work beyond the infrastructure to make this work. It’s going to help us un-derstand the condition of fa-cilities … and help us plan the next 10 to 20 years on the infra-structure side.”

In addition, the master plan will also help determine future academic planning, to the delight of Ross.

He said facilities might be determined based on the cur-riculum taught and future plans for education over the next several decades.

“We’ve got to understand that better,” he said. “Rather than react, we can be proac-tive once we understand fa-cility conditions.

“It’s not necessarily how often we use a room, but they will be aligned with what we’re teaching. We’ll have to make some projections about what courses look like … that’s why the prioritization was so important to us. What do we want to be teaching five to 10 years from now?”

By Kristopher LodesStaff Reporter

Jon Weaver, one of five Central Michigan players drafted this season, is walking the long and grinding road to Major League Baseball.

Weaver begins this journey after being drafted in the 21st round of the 2012 MLB Draft this summer by the Tampa Bay Rays. He is currently in the Rookie League as a late-inning reliever for the Princ-eton Rays, located in Princ-

eton, W. Va.Weaver recently recorded

his first professional save and is currently 0-1 with 5.06 ERA in just seven appearances.

Another is Ryan Long-streth, who was drafted in the 40th round by the Detroit Tigers and is currently with the Gulf Coast League Tigers, Detroit’s Rookie League af-filiate.

“Every hitter has the po-tential to take you deep every time,” Longstreth said. “Ev-ery hitter is good.”

With every player having immense talent, it’s tough to make a name for yourself, especially when you go un-drafted.

That is what happened to pitcher Jesse Hernandez in 2010. Despite having a good season with the Chippewas, he was passed up by all 30 teams more than 40 times.

“I thought I was going to get drafted after my senior year, because I had a pretty good year. But I didn’t,” Hernandez said. “The day after the draft,

I got a call from a Blue Jays scout, and, four hours later, I was on a plane down to Flor-ida, heading to their spring training complex.”

Since that call, Hernandez has returned to Florida with the Advanced Class-A Dune-din Blue Jays after a stellar stop in Michigan with the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts. There, he went 4-for-4 with a 2.29 ERA in 13 games and 12 starts.

“In college, you have four years, and you get your op-

portunity,” Hernandez said. “Here, you have to earn your opportunities and then keep earning them.”

Longstreth isn’t the only former CMU baseball player in the Tigers’ association.

Shortstop Jordan Dean was drafted by them this year in the 15th round. Being drafted so much earlier, Dean has got a little head start on Long-streth and is currently play-ing with the Short Season Class-A affiliate Connecticut Tigers.

Dean has found some strug-gles there at the plate so far, batting just .242 with seven RBIs in 18 games, but he feels he is on his way up.

“I’m loving (Connecticut). It’s warm everyday, and I get to be on a baseball field,” Dean said. “I think I’m do-ing alright; off to a slow start, but I’ve got some consistent at-bats the past few weeks and have made some adjust-ments.”
