CMU women to appear in Playboy
Magazine chose to dump party school theme but use pictorials
By Todd Fettig
l IFE Staff Writer
Images from CMU, and not
CMU's image, will be included in
April's issue of Playboy.
The issue will contain pictures
of CMU women, but wont contain any article or feature referring to CMU as a party school,
said Elizabeth Norris. director of
public relations for Playboy.
In a letter to the Academic
Senate. Hugh Hefner said he
opposed the idea of naming CMU
— or any other university or college as a party school, calling
the idea "outdated" and "juvenile."
Norris said "a few" CMU students are pictured in the issue,
but refused to give the exact number, the names of those pictured
and whether the women are par-
**lt's not just tha fact that women from Central are in it. It's that women are being in it,

tially or totally nude. The issue
will be made public on its release
date, March 16.
Pamela Daghlian. president of
Women Initiating Social Equality, said she is not pleased with
women's decisions to pose for the
magazine.
"I'm not happy that the women
chose to be in (Playboy)," said
Daghlian, Cadillac senior. "They
have every right to pose, but I
find it very unfortunate.
"It's not just the fact that
women from Central are in it. It's
that women are being in it, per
iod."
Rick Karrick, owner and manager of Old Mission Party Store,
5030 S. Mission, said customers
are eagerly anticipating the
issue.
"There is definitely an interest
because many people come in and
make reference to that particular
issue/* he said.
"People seem to be aware that
there will be features with CMU
students."
Karrick said the store probably
will receive more copies of the
issue than they usually carry.
Daghlian said stores should
not use the issue as a method of
inert asing business.
"I think it's sick that stores are
ordering more Playboys," she
said. "I think it is disgusting that
stores are capitalizing on the
issue just because some of the
people in it go to Central and
have no clothes on."

By Erik Nehring
l IFF Staff Writer

during the early morning hours Feb. 1, 1992, in the parking lot of
Wayside Central, 2000 S. Mission.

some point during the altercation.  Witnesses said  they observed

Suspect pulls steak
knife on policeman
By Christopher Richardson
l IFF St,iff Witter
One Isabella County Sheriffs
Department deputy was unhurt
after an altercation in which a
Mount Pleasant man threatened
him with a steak knife.
When responding to a domestic
dispute in progress at Millbrook
Mobile Home Community, 5280
S. Mission, the suspect pulled a
steak knife from a front pocket
while the deputy was between 2
and 3 feet away, an 1CSI) report
stated.
The officer backed away about
fl feet from the suspect and drew
his gun when the suspect lunged
forward at the officer. The officer
told the man to freeze and drop
the knife.
At this time a third person on
the scene yelled to the officer
telling him not to hurt the suspect, because the suspect didn't
have a  knife.  At  one  point, the
third person stepped between the
officer and the suspect.
Two other individuals also
pleaded with the officer not to
hurt the suspect. The officer was
forced to push them away while
keeping his on gun the suspect.
During this time the suspect
said "Kill me," several times to
the officer.
The standoff ended when an
unknown person came up behind
the suspect and knocked him to
his knees. The officer tackled the
suspect and handcuffed him.
The suspect was taken to Central Michigan Community Hospital, 1221 South Drive, for treatment of cuts on his left hand
r€»ceived prior to the incident.
The* suspect was arrested and
lodged for felonious assault of a
police officer.

Music receives most funds per student
By Matt Crossman
I IFF  St.iff Wnter
Though funding for academic departments has increased in the last
five years, some divisions have fared better than others.
Factors explaining departmental funding increases include inflation,
faculty raisers, equipment needs and changes in the student-to-faculty
ratio, said Richard Davenport, vice provost for Academic Affairs.
Music and religion rank at the top and bottom, respectively, in terms
of per fiscal year equated student costs and per student credit hour
costs, stated a report listing the funding of the various departments by
E. Gary Shapiro, director of Institutional Research. Costs for both areas
include personnel and non-personnel costs.
The state defines an FYES as undergraduates with 31 credit hours a
year, graduate students with 24 credit hours and a doctoral students
taking 16 credits a year:
CMU had a total of lb\279 FYES in 1986-87, and 15,315 FYES in
1991-92.
Department ranking is accomplished by FYES and some variation
may exist between FYES rank and SCH rank.
The number one ranked department had the lowest FYES, which
means they received the lowest amount of money per student. For
example, the department ranked 20th would receive more funds per
FYES than a department ranked fifth.
The educational administration and community leadership department was the biggest mover in terms of rank, raising from fourth
department in FYES in 1986-87 to its current rank of 30th.
While fourth, the department contained the counseling and special
education department, which broke off to form its own department after
1986-87.
Costs of the educational administration and community leadership
department have increased since the split for a couple of reasons, said
Hugh Rohrc»r, educational administration and community leadership
department chairman.
Many classes were quite large before the split, but the department no
longer holds classes with more than 30 students, he said.
Rohrer said since enrollment is now 100 percent graduate students,
which means the faculty all need doctorates, it leads to a generally

Greeks to enforce
new alcohol policy
By Amy Shiner
and Dee Sayers
l Ir-ra  Stjff Writers
Into its second semester,
questions about how to enforce
CMU's new Greek alcohol policy
have developed.
Cyndi Gibson, Panhellenic
Council president and
Washington senior during the
time of the policy's adoption on
April 14, 1992, said she felt a
risk management program was
needed.
"We < presidents i had heard of
lawsuits    involving   alcohol    at
other   campuses   and   felt   the
need   to   protect   our   systom,"
Gibson said.
"The < alcohol) policy used
prior to the new one had too
niciny loopholes in it," Gibson
said. "This policy covers up the
loopholes and cU»arly states the
rules."
Some of the main points of the
policy include:
■ Parties must he bring your
own beverage < BYOB K
■ No chapter members collectively or individually, shall
purchase for, serve to or sell
alcoholic beverages to anyone*
under 21 years of age;
■ No common sources of alcohol   such   as   pony   kegs,   party
balls, punch howls, tapped alcoholic beverages, or other communal alcoholic containers are
permitted at any social event.
■ All parties will remain
"closed" until 12 a.m., which
involves 3 guidelines:
- 1.   A designated  sober  monitor.
2. Non-Greeks will not be
allowed to attend any social
event where alcohol is present
unless it is a planned date party
or format, or a special ticket
party where tickets are bought
in advance or if the person is on
an approved guest list.
.'*. A person on the guest list
24 hours before the scheduled
event can attend the function
before midnight
"The issue now is the discussion of enforcement of the alcohol policy." said Joe Oravecz,
Greek adviser anil assistant
director of t he < )f flee of Student
Life
He said tin- current enforcement policy is a "gentleman's
agreement" among the fraternities and sororities that the
groups will abide by the alcohol
policy
