Too many people try to “deodorize” the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, said Dr. Cornel West, Columbus State’s MLK Day speaker.

“You’ve got to keep it funky,” West said.

West, a Princeton University professor and public intellectual, said King is often viewed as a saint up on a pedestal, but you have to remember he came from a long tradition of service and activism.

And his work’s not done. If King were here today, he’d speak out against hollow pursuits like fame, greed, lust and hatred. This weekend’s shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz, showed there’s still a lot of hate in the world.

“Indifference to evil is more evil than evil itself,” West said. “Indifference is the one characteristic that makes the very angels weep.”

He praised Columbus State for helping people from all walks of life get an education, but he warned students not to stop there.

“Martin’s question is, ‘What will you use your success for?’” West said. “Never confuse success with greatness.”

West took questions at the end of his speech, including one from a woman struggling to make a difference at a school in her community. West said the best way to reach the younger generation is by treating them with respect, and urged her not to give up hope.

“No matter how bad things are, things would be worse if you weren’t doing what you’re doing,” West said.

West became nationally known with his 1993 book “Race Matters,” a searing analysis of racism in American democracy. He has published 13 other books, including a recent memoir, and offers weekly commentary on the Tavis Smiley Show on PRI. He also had a recurring role in the Matrix movies as a member of the Zion Council.

Hosting West is an honor, said Dr. David Harrison, Columbus State’s president – and the events aren’t over yet. Columbus State has a week of events planned for MLK Day, leading up to a march next Monday.

Jason back here in the Delaware Hall gymnasium where the lady Cougars are at a daily practice before their next game. With another season underway we wanted to check in on the players. Among the standouts -- Freshman Sarah Yoder and Sophomore Katy Monnier. Both have 4.0 averages -- and solid skills on the court.

For Head Coach Randy Crites -- it's becoming second nature to lead this team. Following earlier stints as a high school coach, he's in his 17h season with the Lady Cougars and sees promise ahead this year.
Randy Crites, Women's Basketball Coach: We had some problems with free throws early but now we're up above 50% and the last four games we've been above 65%. We're getting better. These kids are working hard, trying to get better everyday
Another season for a team always striving for success.

In the midst of another basketball season -- the Columbus State Cougars are scoring on the court and in the classroom. It didn't take long for the men to make a mark. With just one loss in the first few weeks of the season they had achieved a national top-12 ranking in Division Two for junior colleges.

Pat Carlisle, Men's Basketball Coach: Team chemistry is a huge thing: Having the team on the same page and what that plan is. And it ultimately comes down to players have to make plays to win. To do that you have got to play hard.

Coach Carlisle has had an impressive run at Columbus State -- including 100 wins within five seasons. And his team qualified for the national tournament two years in a row including a finish as runners-up in the 2008 championship game. However, Carlisle stresses academic success alongside scoring success. Daily study tables before practice are mandatory.

Bernie Agnew, Freshman Guard, 3.3 GPA: The responsibility of grades is real important to emphasize for everybody to get their grades in basically so we can all prosper later in our careers

Glenn Cosey, Freshman Point Guard, 3.7 GPA: They're real big because sometimes you don't feel like doing homework, but when you get at study table you have no choice.

The focus pays off. During the autumn 2010 quarter the team's GPA averaged a 3.1 percent -- a new high. The team hasn't lost a player to academic ineligibility in four seasons. With another season off to a good start, these cougars plan to keep scoring big -- on the court - and off.

Whether it's counting credit hours in the curriculum or chocolate chips in her famous cookies, Candice Spangler's attention to detail adds up to a fabulous result.

For her efforts as program coordinator in Curriculum Management, Spangler was given the Staff Employee of the Month (SEOM) award for January in a ceremony held yesterday. See video highlights of the ceremony below.


"Candice has been a godsend," said nominator Connie Grossman, chair of the Allied Health Professions Department. "She is always willing to answer questions from people like me who are Datatel-challenged. She is positive and supportive, responds quickly to pleas for help, and makes dynamite chocolate chip cookies!"

Spangler is a 20-year employee with Columbus State, starting in the Graphic Communications Department in 1991 as an office associate and teaching assistant. She moved into Computer Information Technology as a teaching assistant in 2000. In 2007 she brought her organizational talents to Curriculum Management.

"The best part of my job is being able to work with so many people across the campus in a variety of ways," said Spangler. "All the ways I get to interact with the CSCC staff is definitely my favorite part of the job simply because it is never the same job every day!" She also feels grateful for the college tuition benefit that employees enjoy. "I have earned my associate, bachelor's and master's degrees due to Columbus State's generous benefit and I truly appreciate that."
