Last Thursday, Dec. 5, there weren’t many fast food workers uttering “would you like fries with that,” as workers in more than 100 cities across the coun-try country, walked out on strike to demand higher pay for minimum wage workers.

This is the second strike that fast food workers have organized this year; the other was back in August, according to the New York Daily News. Although Presi-dent Obama hopes to raise minimum wage to $9.00, that is still well under what protesters are asking for.

Minimum wage in the country right now is $7.25. Protesters across the coun-try, however, are asking that minimum wage be more than doubled to $15.00, a wage that they can live on.

According to an article published by the Chicago Tribune, “The description of fast-food workers, once

viewed mainly as teenagers looking for pocket money, has changed. Today’s fast-food worker is typically over 20, often raising a child, and 68 percent are the primary wage earners in their fami-lies, according to a report by the University of Illinois and the University of California, Berkeley.”

A pay increase of that magnitude, however, wouldn’t do as much good as workers seem to think.

“Increasing the minimum wage, however, would not reduce poverty, said Michael Saltsman of the Employment Policies Institute, because employers will compensate by reducing staff and work-ers’ hours,” according to the article from the Chicago Tribune.

In today’s economy — where gas for your car alone is well over $3 a gallon — it can’t be argued that $7.25 an hour is not a wage to raise a family on. Then again, mini-mum wage jobs were never meant to be a forever job, and even if minimum wage were to be raised, who is to say prices of other things won’t raise rise with it?

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2010, a certified nursing assistant

must earn a postsecondary education, and will make ap-proximately $11.54 an hour.

If minimum wage were to be increased to the sug-gested $15 an hour, the wage of a CNA would go up to minimum wage, maybe a little higher. Why would anyone want to accumulate thousands of dollars in debt if they could go up to the lo-cal McDonalds and make the same amount?

So, then what is the solu-tion?

Leave the minimum wage where it is, and leave the minimum wage jobs for the teenage kids. People don’t need to be fighting for an increase of minimum wage; they need to be fighting to make it easier to go to school.

University students here go into thousands of dollars in debt to get their degrees, and it isn’t necessary.

According to the Norwe-gian University of Science and Technology’s website, public universities in Nor-way don’t charge for tuition, even for international stu-dents.

Yes, the cost of living and taxes are higher in Norway than here in the U.S., how-ever, since people are able

to get a free education, and thus jobs that pay well, the Norwegian people, more or less, can afford this cost of living.

“Due to the egalitarian social system in Norway, the margin between low and high salaries is narrow,” ac-cording to a expatarrivals.com, a traveling website. “High salaries offset some of these costs, as well as the public services offered by Norway’s welfare state.”

An interesting concept: the country helps its people and they turn around and help the country with their ability to pay higher taxes.

This system seems to be working much better than the U.S.’ dog- eat- dog system. As of 2011, Norway has the highest standard of living in the world, three places higher than the U.S., according to nationsonline.org.

So, do we protest raising minimum wage when the likely outcome will be people still struggling to make ends meet, or do we overhaul the education system and give everyone the opportunity to earn enough money to live on?

You decide.

Frightful weather, lively fun

Noel Night evokes holiday spirit

Metro Detroit offers numerous winter events

Hundreds enjoy festivities despite cold

HANNAH ORLICKIContributing Writer

Winter is well on its way, and while the frost may motivate some to chill out at home, the Detroit area has many fun and festive activities to journey outside for and enjoy.

Festivals: Dec. 1-30 and Jan. 2-5, the Detroit Zoo is hosting Wild Lights. Visitors can walk around and view the lights as well as enjoy the entertainment, storytelling, arts and crafts, ice carving and a holiday train display. Also, a stage will be set up for a singing and dancing mini-musical. All ages are welcome and Santa will be there to say “hi” to the chil-dren. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and continues until 9 p.m. on weekdays, 10 p.m. on weekends. Tickets cost $10 at the gate. Ages 2 and under are free. Parking is also $5. Visit www.detroitzoo.org for more information.

Dec. 6-28 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., Greenfield Village is hosting Holiday Nights. The event will be lit with candles that light the way to live entertainment,

costumed characters, horse-drawn car-riages, ice skating, fireworks and more. Village shops will be open for business and Santa will be there with his reindeer. Some nights are already sold out so buy tickets early! For adults ages 13 and older, tickets cost $22, ages 5 to 12 cost $16 and children 4 and under get in for free. Visit www.thehenryford.org for more informa-tion.

Jan.10-12, Plymouth hosts its annual Ice Festival. The town square will be filled with ice sculptures. Last year’s popular sculptures resembled castles, casino logos, birds, horses, Native Americans and more. Some sculptures lit up while others burst into flames. There will be entertainment, arts and beer. The festival commences on Jan. 10 from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and continues Jan. 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit www.plymouthmich.org.

Jan. 24-26, downtown Rochester will host its Annual Fire & Ice Festival. The event takes place Jan. 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Jan. 25 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival

will include beer and food trucks, a light show, carriage rides, ice sculptures, ice skating, tubing, dog-sled demonstrations and more. Fireworks Friday and Saturday. For more information and a full itinerary, visit www.destinationoakland.com.

Tobogganing and Sledding: Kingston Metropark is about a 45-minute drive from Detroit, but it offers multiple sled-ding hills from beginner to advanced. They also have toboggan runs and snowboard-ing for beginners, too. This park does not rent any equipment so toboggans, sleds and snowboards must be brought from home. Their hours are 11 a.m. to dusk dur-ing the week and 10 a.m. to dusk on week-ends. Check the website for hill conditions at www.metroparks.com.

Echo Valley is in Kalamazoo, but it’s worth the drive if you are going to be in the area or want to take a day trip. Echo Valley uses an all-season sledding surface and tobogganing continues in all weather conditions. Sleds reach speeds up to 60 mph and are lifted back up to the top for you — no need to carry them anymore. Echo Valley’s season begins Saturday, Dec.

21 and continues through the first week of March. They are closed for Christmas. Hours of operation are weekdays 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. For more in-formation, visit www.echovalleyfun.com.

The Fridge is a toboggan run in Wa-terford. The sled plunges down a 55-foot drop and slides 950 feet, reaching speeds exceeding 30 mph. Toboggans are provid-ed and transported by staff. When fingers and toes start to get chilly, warm up in the Lookout Lodge in front of a fireplace. The lodge offers concessions, TV viewing as well as views of the toboggan run. The Fridge is open mid-December through mid-March and is located on Scott Lake Road. For more information, visit www.destinationoakland.com.

For more local sledding shenanigans, visit Balduck Park on Chandler Park Drive in Detroit. The sledding hill is lit up by floodlights and has been running for years. It is a staple of the Detroit community where children have come to play year round. When a good snow falls, bring a sled and enjoy the ride.

People filled the streets of Midtown for the 41st annual Noel Night Dec. 7.

The annual Detroit tradition, organized by Midtown Detroit Inc., saw people from all over the metro area visit the museums, restaurants and vendors that set up for the night. Noel Night started as a small gathering of Christmas carolers walking around spreading holiday cheer, and has turned into a huge event with all types of attractions.

Many museums open their doors to the public free of charge, businesses offer free hot cocoa and cookies and restaurants feature special menus while bands, danc-ers, and actors perform for the crowds.

Wayne State often showcases student talent during Noel Night with the Music, Theater and Dance Departments all per-forming and the Art Department opening galleries of student work.

“Noel Night was incredible, as it usually is. It was really cold but that didn’t stop anybody from coming out,” said WSU junior Ryan Gumbleton. “It was really packed.”

Gumbleton, like many students, visited the holiday festival to help him get into the spirit.

“I got free hot chocolate, I saw the ice sculptures that students were making and I bought roasted almonds and kettle corn, which was really wonderful,” he said.

According to MDI Special Projects Manager Annmarie Borucki, Noel Night is also economically significant.

“Though Noel Night may only be a one-night event, the significant economic impact it generates is felt area-wide,” said Borucki. “Noel Night helps to build awareness and new audience for these participating businesses.”

With restaurants crowded and shops full of people, the economic boost from Noel Night isn’t hard to see. Most impor-tant to students like Gumbleton, how-ever, is the holiday spirt that Noel gives everyone.

“Noel Night is really important to Midtown because of the holiday morale is gives,” Gumbleton said. “This brings ev-erybody down, even if you don’t live here, and shows all the great things that are happening in Detroit. It really promotes the city and the holidays.”

Fowlkes earns Master’s degree, game show jackpot

ALLISON KOEHLERSenior Writer

Wayne State University can now add successful game show contes-tant to i ts alumni l ist .

Roll in Fowlkes, who received his Master ’s degree in Occupational Therapy from WSU, and his family, were recent guests on the popular game show “Family Feud.”

There’s a simple reason why the Fowlkes family was chosen to par-ticipate in “Family Feud.”

“My wife is crazy,” said Fowlkes, smil ing. After al l , i f she hadn’t sent in their name for audition consid-eration, they would st i l l just be watching it on their couch as they have over the years.

Roll in and his wife, Noureyah, a nurse at Henry Ford Hospital , have been fans of “Family Feud” for years. Early this year, she went to the game show’s web site and sub-mitted a photo along with family biography.

But her husband was skeptical as to whether they’d actually be invit-ed to audition. “I just said, ‘Yeah, yeah, whatever. We’re not going to get picked’” .

“I didn’t think anything of i t ,”

Fowlkes said. Having that outlook makes it easy

to forget about i t altogether. When you least expect i t , that ’s when things happen.

And it did. Five short months later, they

were invited to audition in In-dianapolis , along with 300 other families.

It was Roll in, his cousin Ervin and wife Nichell , Roll in’s wife and her best fr iend Takesha “Kesha”.

The audition is a common process where each family participates in a mock game and one is chosen from there.

“We were gett ing ready to leave when we were pulled to the side,” Fowlkes said. They met with a producer who said she loved them and were thinking of having them on the show. “We had to do a l i tt le skit , and then we left ,” he said.

“We were pumped up from just the audition,” said Fowlkes. That kept the Fowlkes going for a while; just as the energy was fading, they got a postcard in the mail indicat-ing they made the show.

It had been such a long t ime since they auditioned that they just f igured they weren’t going.

“It was such a last minute gesture, everything happened so fast ,” said Fowlkes.

In August, the family was f lown down to Atlanta to tape the show and enjoyed a three-game rol l unti l they lost . The episodes aired in late November.

“It was just an amazing, amazing experience to be on national TV,” said Fowlkes. “But i t wasn’t easy; the anxiety of being on TV, with the audience, Steve Harvey, the hot l ights and cameras. People coming in every once in a while to make sure you look okay, that you’re hy-drated. It was very surreal .”

When it came to recal l ing his favorite question, i t was al l a blur. “Steve Harvey comes down the l ine (of players) and al l you can think is , ‘Oh my God, I ’m next ’” .

“I was sweating; i t ’s a lot of pres-sure,” he admitted.

“When you’re up there (at the podium) the only thing in your mind is the buzzer. Hit the buzzer!! You’re not real ly thinking of the question.

“Then when you hit the buzzer, you’re l ike, ‘Oh snap, I hit the buzzer! ’”

They enjoyed a three-day run,

earning roughly $30,000, which they expect to receive next fal l .

“I wasn’t in i t for the money… though I wanted the money! It was for the experience, but i t was hard.”

Fowlkes offers some advice for anyone considering auditioning for “Family Feud.” “If you have the means to do it , I would suggest you do-just for the experience, to try i t .”

“If you have a dream, any kind of ambitions, fol low your dream,” he added. “I ’m very proud to say I graduated from Wayne State, i t wasn’t an easy road. I stuck with it and, in the end, I was successful . It ’s just about you achieving the goal , not how long it took you to get there.”

“Go on game shows, go sky div-ing, do al l that stuff , and l ive your l i fe. Just enjoy it the best you can and be kind to each other.”

This comes from a 34-year-old father of two that works nearly 85 hours a week at three different jobs in his career as an occupational therapist , working hard to make a good l i fe for himself and his family.

He just helped add $30,000 to the Fowlkes family payroll . Not too shabby.


WSU family wins ‘Feud’FEATURES


Despite resignation, Cockrel plans to continue service

FEATURES

DEBANINA SEATONConributing Writer

At The Bottom Line, a small Mid-town coffee shop, a man sits alone reading an alternative newspaper and drinking espresso.

The odd man out in a store sur-rounded by modern art and young college students, he lives in the area and the owner seems to know him as a regular. Others know him as Detroit City Councilman Kenneth Cockrel Jr., but they won’t for much longer.

“It’s almost like being an actor and getting typecast — people only want to see you in that one role and they can’t envision you doing something else,” Cockrel said. “Sometimes the way to do that is to break out and do something different.”

When he leaves his office on Dec. 20, Cockrel will relinquish his title of councilman; after years of serving Detroit, he is choosing not to run for another term. There are no limits on the number of terms one can have on city council – he chose to leave be-cause he felt he had done all he could do as a member of city government.

“I felt that after 16 years on coun-cil, there was a lot I’ve been able to get done,” he said. “I’ve passed a lot of good legislation and there are some initiatives that I started that are still going, which I’m very proud of, but I kind of got to a point where it’s probably time to move on and do something different.”

Cockrel said he felt staying in office for so long would create a permanent idea about him.

“I find sometimes, in certain politi-cal offices, if you stay too long it gets harder and harder to leave because people can’t see you in any other way,” he said.

Cockrel is a native Detroiter and alumnus of Wayne State. He received his bachelor’s degree in journalism and while attending school he worked as a stringer and part-time writer for the Detroit Free Press. He was a member of the Journalism Insti-tute for Minorities (now known as the Journalism Institute for Media Diversity).

He found his calling in politics through journalism. Cockrel wrote for the Grand Rapids Press, and the Cin-cinnati Enquirer, which motivated his interest in running for city council.

At the Grand Rapids Press, he was assigned to cover city hall in Holland, Mich., a small city on the shore of Lake Michigan. In Cincinnati he also covered city hall, further encouraging his political interest.

Since taking office in 1998, he has witnessed a lot. One of the most significant things, he said, was the change in the city’s finances – the ‘90s were considered a time of eco-nomic prosperity, and Cockrel said he remembers when Detroit had a budget surplus. City council used to fight about endeavors to spend extra money on. Now, prosperity seems to be a distant memory as the

courts have declared Detroit eligible for bankruptcy. He cited the saga of Kwame Kilpatrick as another signifi-cant milestone.

“I don’t think it was something that any of us really expected,” he said, “but when it did come about and when it became clear that he had lied to city council and lied to the people of the city of Detroit, we had to move to deal with it.”

After Kilpatrick’s expulsion, Cock-rel became mayor of Detroit under what he calls “unusual circumstanc-es.” After serving the shortest term in Detroit’s mayoral history, he lost the next election to Dave Bing, who took office in 2009.

“I ended up actually being in office as mayor for about eight months, but I’m proud of what I was able to do in that eight months,” Cockrel said.

New faces to Detroit City Council include George Cushingberry Jr., district two; Scott Benson, district three; Mary Sheffield, district five; Raquel Castaneda-Lopez, district six; and Gabe Leland, district seven. This election allowed for the first La-tina to be elected to city council. All except Castaneda-Lopez and Leland are alumni of WSU. Castaneda-Lopez works for WSU in the Department of Latino and Latina Studies.

“The introduction of districts is a new development as a result of the new charter and I think that’s why we see the diversity that we’ve now seen on council,” Cockrel said. “Had the council continued to be elected on an

at-large basis I think you probably would not have seen a Latina get-ting elected to city council. I think the same factor is at play with Gabe Leland.”

Cockrel found Duggan’s success in-teresting because he was still elected by the city on an at-large basis, and he doesn’t think race was a factor. He said people were looking at the can-didates after the primary and were listening to the candidate who had the better plan.

“That’s a positive thing,” he said. “You are going to see that trend con-tinue, especially as you see the city of Detroit evolve and diversify.”

Cockrel has spoken with all the new council members either in person or on the phone, and thinks the city will be in good hands. But the initial chal-lenge they and the new mayor will face is redefining their relationship with Kevyn Orr.

“The emergency manager is ba-sically running all aspects of city government, and I don’t think that’s something that should continue,” he said. “I think the day-to-day opera-tions really need to be turned over to the mayor and city council.”

Cockrel did not mention what his plans are after leaving, but he did reinforce that he is only leaving city council, not the city of Detroit.

“I’m going to continue to do what I can as a private citizen to move the city forward,” he said. “There are other ways to help the city, and I will continue to do that.”

ZEINAB NAJMSenior Writer

The Wayne State’s women’s basketball team improved to 3-1 on the season topping Tiff in and Ohio Dominican over the weekend. The Warriors are 2-0 in conference play so far in the young season.

On Dec. 5 against Tiff in, WSU took an early lead in the begin-ning of the game with a 10-1 run, but Tiff in would challenge them. The Warriors would lead for much of the half unti l the Dragons went on a run of their own scoring 12 of the f inal 14 points to take the lead into halft ime.

From the second half on, the Warriors dominated the game and won by 20 points, 85-65.

The Warriors shot 56.3 percent in the second half , hitt ing 18-of-32 shots. For the game, WSU shot 51.6 percent from the f ield. WSU also held Tiff in to 27.3 percent shooting in the second half and 40.7 percent for the game.

Destiny Lavita-Stephens led WSU with 23 points.

Warriors slay Tiffin Dragons Panthers paused

MICHAEL LEWISContributing Writer

Coming off a tough loss against the Lewis Flyers on the road, the Wayne State Warriors men’s basket-ball team responded with a big con-ference win over the Tiffin Dragons, 65-51.

“It was a great effort and a good home win,” Coach Greer said. “The Lewis defeat is a little misleading with guys injured, but it always feels good to come back and win.”

The Warriors played the first half closely with the Dragons. Despite shooting 39 percent, the Warriors entered halftime down only one point. Bryan Coleman led all scorers with 11 points off 50 percent shoot-ing.

Freshman shooting guard Clark Bishop followed up with 10 points after going three of four from beyond the arc. Bishop has been emerging as a stable contributor on both sides of the floor. In addi-tion to his 12 points, Bishop tallied six rebounds, tied a team high four assists, and added three steals and a block on defense. Bishop fits right into Greer’s defensive game plan with his enthusiasm about playing defense.

“My number one priority on the court is to get steals,” Bishop said while laughing. “But I just love playing basketball.”

The second half was one sided as the Warriors coasted to victory. The Warriors relinquished the lead only

once and held the Dragons to 16 percent shooting. The second half belonged to guard Chene Phillips and forward Michael Lewis. In his first game back off of a knee injury, Lewis struggled in the first half shooting 1 of 6 and grabbing only three rebounds. However, Lewis emerged to acquire his first double-double finishing with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

“Coming back with a double-dou-ble had everything to do with con-fidence and my teammates helped me with that,” Lewis said. “My knee was a little sore during the game but it was nothing that’ll stop me from doing what I do.”

Phillips put on a defensive clinic holding Tiffin’s leading scorer Joe Graessle to 11 points and 21 percent shooting. Graesalle came into Mat-thaei fresh off of a 43-point perfor-mance against Ohio State University at Mansfield. Phillips also acquired three steals and a block to tie a team high. On the offensive end, Phillips shot 6 of 8 from the free throw line showing drastic improve-ment. However, he took a step back accumulating seven of the teams 13 turnovers.

“Free throws have always been my Achilles heel for some reason, but I feel like I’m improving,” Phillips said. “I did a horrible job protect-ing the ball, which is unacceptable. I have to be more focused for our next game against Ohio Dominican.”

That game will be played at the Matthaei Dec. 6 at 3 p.m.

MICHAEL LEWISContributing Writer

The Wayne State Warriors outlasted the Ohio Dominican Panthers 90-85 Dec .7 at the Matthaei.

The Warriors entered halftime with a 42-40 advantage over the Panthers in a competitive first half. Both teams shot the ball well with the Panthers shooting 48.5 percent and the War-riors shooting 50 percent. They also accumulated one turnover a piece. While Panthers’ guard Mark Minch did most of the first half scoring with 16 points, the Warriors were carried by Bryan Coleman’s 13 points and Chene Phillips’ 10.

The second half was held close. Ohio Dominican dominated the paint scoring 46 points inside and keeping the lead within five points. However, the Warriors exploded for a 16-2 run at the 10 minute mark to go up 71-58 with just under 8:00 to play. The game was dominated by Chene Phil-lips, who exploded for a game-high 29 points to keep the Panthers at bay.

“It goes without saying that Chene

was clearly the player of the game,” Coach David Greer said. “He pretty much dominated all facets of the game.”

The Panthers, however, did not go away. Ohio Dominican went on a 13-2 run to cut the lead to five with 2:30 left to play. Senior forward Bryan Coleman came up big down the stretch hitting two threes to seemingly seal the Warrior victory. Coleman ended the game with 25 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes.

“It felt great,” Coleman said. “Look-ing at the game I could tell my team needed me and I put them on my back.”

The last minute of the game showed the Warriors the Panthers weren’t going down without a fight. After Coleman’s dagger threes, the Panthers went on a 13-6 run to pull within five. However, the clock was on the War-riors side and WSU was able to leave with a victory.

“I thought our guys came out and competed in the second half, Greer said. “Ohio Dominican played an ex-cellent basketball game.”
