The CMU Chippewas logo, current as of 2003.

The school's athletics programs are affiliated with the NCAA and compete in the Mid-American Conference. The school colors are maroon and gold, and the school, and its students and alumni are referred to as Chippewas which is sometimes shortened to Chips. This nickname is used with consent of the nearby Saginaw Chippewa Tribe, who has a positive relationship with the university. The university was placed on the NCAA's list of schools with "hostile and abusive" nicknames in August 2005, but appealed the decision, with the support of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe. On September 2, 2005 the university announced that their appeal of the decision had been upheld.

The school athletics logo has changed over time, once featuring an Indian spear, but is now a stylized block letter "C". Within the university this logo is often referred to as the "flying C" or the "running C" (and derisively as the "flaming C"), although it is actually called the "action C". The current version of the athletic trademark was first used in 1997.

[编辑] Residence Life

Central Michigan University is home to 20 on-campus residence halls, arranged in four districts throughout the campus. In 2006-07, the 21st and 22nd residence halls on campus will open in what is currently the East complex.

North Residence Halls: Larzelere, Trout, Calkins, Robinson, Barnes
South Residence Halls: Beddow, Merrill, Thorpe, Sweeney
East Residence Halls: Saxe, Herrig, Woldt, Emmons (plus Celani and Fabiano in 2006-07)
The Towers: Carey, Cobb, Troutman and Wheeler ("The Original Towers"), Campbell, Kesseler, Kulhavi ("The New Towers")

All residence halls except for the Towers, Barnes Hall, and Robinson Hall are two-bedroom suites designed for 4 or 5 persons. The Original Towers, nine-story high-rise residence halls designed primarily for freshmen, feature one-bedroom suites. The New Towers, designed primarily for upperclassmen, are four-bedroom suites. Robinson Hall and the old section of Barnes are the only residence halls designed for double occupancy. Residence of both the New Towers and Robinson Hall pay an additional charge over the standard room and board rate.

Each district is connected to one of four Residential Restaurants. Only Barnes Hall, the oldest residence hall at CMU, is not directly connected to a residential restaurant. The older section of Barnes Hall is also the only part of any residence hall on campus that has community bathrooms.

Some residence halls are designated as official Residential Colleges, associated with a particular academic department, allowing students who choose to live there opportunities for study and collaboration with other students from similar programs.

Carey Hall-Business
Herrig Hall-Music
Emmons Hall-Health Professions
Woldt Hall-Science and Technology
Calkins Hall-Education
Larzelere and Trout Halls-Honors Program
Barnes Hall-Leadership Institute

Barnes Hall is also the traditional home of many of CMU's international students because it is the only hall that remains open during university breaks.

CMU offers both co-ed and single-gender residence halls. Beddow and Sweeney Halls are for females only, Merrill and Thorpe Halls for males only. Since the Fall 2005 semester, Calkins Hall, home of the Education residential college, is co-educational, after a long history of being females only. The other residence halls are either co-ed by floor or by room.

Construction began on two more buildings, colloquially known as the "Woldt Towers," near the East Quad in the spring of 2005. The buildings will be somewhat similar in design to the New Towers, opened in 2003. On December 1, 2005, one of the buildings was named The Ben and Marion Celani Residence hall to recognize the generosity of Detroit area businessman Thomas Celani and his wife Vicki. On April 20, 2006, the remaining building was named the Fabiano Family Residence Hall, recognizing their contribution to the school. John S. Fabiano served on the board of trustees 1999-2004, and also owns the Fabiano Brothers Inc, an alcohol distribution company.

[编辑] Media

The campus newspaper is Central Michigan Life. There is also a college radio station run by students, FM 91.5 WMHW. As well as the student-run college TV station MHTV.

In addition, the university owns and operates WCMU-TV, the region's PBS station, and WCMU-FM, the NPR affiliate. Both stations serve most of Northern Michigan, including the eastern Upper Peninsula, through a network of repeater stations.

[编辑] CMU Fight Song (The Fighting Chippewa)

Fight, Central, down the field,
Fight for victory!
Fight, fellows, never yield,
We're with you, oh varsity!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Onward with banners bold, to our colors we'll be true
Fight for maroon and gold!
Down the field for CMU!

Varsity!
Rah! Rah!
Victory!
Rah! Rah!
Chippewas, we're proud of our nickname!
Hear our song!
Loud and strong!
Central is going to win this game!

Come on and...

Ever more we praise thee
Hear us pledge our sacred vow

[编辑] Recent News

In July 2005, CMU made state headlines by offering the "CMU Promise," a program that raised tuition rates by nineteen percent for incoming freshmen, but guaranteed these rates would be frozen for the next five years. The program was implemented as a response to shrinking state funding streams. Modeled after a program at Western Illinois University, the tuition guarantee is the first of its kind in Michigan.
