Alcohol unlikely to be sold at games

FA to be in parade, no pickets at tailgate

By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck said he expects a profit of about $1 million for selling alcohol at football games this fall. Multiple sources report the possible profit, but Central Michigan University doesn’t sell any alcoholic concessions at Kelly/Shorts Stadium or other events and Athletic Director Dave Heeke said it’s not something he plans on changing. No other Michigan university sells alcohol at concessions either. “Certainly there’s significant revenues that can help the athletic program and lessen the burden on the university,” Heeke said. “There is that concern over what type of message that sends to your fans and student body.” While CMU brings in an average of 17,215 people a game, the West Virginia Mountaineers have an average attendance of 55,501. If WVU’s expectations transferred to CMU it could mean more than $300,000. That’s the same amount CMU paid South Carolina State to come for the home opener. Though the idea has been looked at by Athletics, Heeke said the decision hasn’t been considered “seriously.” CMU does sell alcohol to private parties and some suites in the stadium. But smuggling drinks into the stadium inevitably happens and Fraser senior Victoria Grace thinks she’s seen almost everything. “Some girls hide it in their purse,” Grace said. “I’ve seen guys put it in their pants.” Grace didn’t agree with Heeke’s philosophy about selling alcohol having a negative message. “I think there is no right message to send to students,” Grace said. “They’re either going to drink or not drink (while) tailgating. It’s their choice and whether or not CMU sells it in the sta-

The Faculty Association will walk in the Homecoming Parade Saturday but will not picket during the football tailgate. “The parade walk will be a great way to show faculty unity and support,” FA President Laura Frey said in an email. CMU and the FA, which represents about 650 tenured and tenure-track professors at the university, have been at a stalemate in contract negotiations since June. The FA’s contract expired June 30. The group voted to strike during the first day of classes at CMU. CMU and the FA spent four days in fact-finding through September and Barry Goldman, the fact finder, is in the process of producing a recommendation, which will be nonbinding. The last formal bargaining session took place Sept. 30 on the eve of CMU and You Day. There was no significant progress made. The parade starts at 11 a.m. near Lot 22 on the corner of Washington and Preston streets, before winding through Bellows Street and down Main Street. It will end at Sacred Heart Church, 302 S. Kinney Ave. Instead of picketing, the FA will have a canopy at the pregame activities from 1 to 3 p.m. where they will serve free refreshments. “We welcome any faculty who want to tailgate and join us to hang out in the FA canopy at pregame,” Frey said. At the last home football game on Oct. 1, the FA picketed outside the front gates of Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The FA’s decision not to picket Saturday was not influenced by the university, Frey said. Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said there are rules in CMU’s advocacy policy about the appropriate methods

St. Johns junior Chelsy Billips poses with a bike wheel that will added to one of her many bikes she is putting together. Billips pieces bikes together with parts she gets from her dad. Her dad works at a junk yard and brings her home different parts so she can make a full functioning bike. “The best part is the final product after piecing together everything and making it look good,” Billips said.

repair, recycle St. Johns junior starts refurbished bicycle business By Sean Bradley | Staff Reporter

Junior Chelsy Billips combined her passions of being creative and fixing things into a job of refurbishing and selling bicycles. Billips started a bike repair business called Recycled Bikes. The St. Johns native said she has grown up around recycled materials and found a simple — yet — constructive way to utilize the spare parts she has accumulated. “I’ve always had creative ideas and a creative mind and a creative outlook,” Billips said. “It’s kind of a creative approach to making a couple extra bucks.” Billips runs the business by herself and does the repairs and refurbishing out of her garage. “I take parts from other bikes and put them onto the bike I’m wanting to fix,” she said. Rebuilding things runs in her family, she said. Her father worked at a junkyard and her uncle owns a junkyard in Charlotte.

“I’ve always been around recycled material,” she said. “I grew up fixing bikes, taking them apart and putting them back together. It’s been a hobby of mine.” So far, Recycled Bikes has had only one customer but in September Billips began posting fliers around campus to advertise. She said her business is targeted toward students who are interested in conservation. “The main audience is people who are wanting to conserve energy by riding bikes and people who want to use the materials we already have instead of going out and buying new bikes,” Billips said. East Lansing junior Lexi Wilson said she saw Billips’ flier outside Wightman Hall after searching for a 10-speed road bike over the summer. Wilson said she purchased a bike from Billips’ business

because the price was affordable and of good quality. “(The bike) is extremely (of) impressive quality for only $50,” Wilson said. She said she thinks students should take advantage of secondhand materials. “We are all struggling and we all are trying to find creative ways to make ends meet,” she said. “People still need to get from Point A to Point B and people still want bikes, so this way offers them a more affordable option for purchasing a bike.” The business is environmentally conscious and cost effective in Michigan’s currently down economy, Billips said. “(Recycled Bikes) gets the word out there that we can fix things we already have,” she said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Students participate in adaptive sports By David Oltean Senior Reporter

Students raced across the basketball courts in the Student Activity Center in wheelchairs Thursday night as they participated in Adaptive Sports Day. Wheelchair basketball was just one of the four sports set up for students to try at Adaptive Sports Day, part of Disability Awareness Month this October. For the second year, Adaptive Sports Day was held to show students common adaptive sports by giving them the opportunity to participate. The other sports played included goal-ball, where students were given a blindfold to simulate blindness, adap-

Mary Lou Schilling, assistant professor of recreation, parks and leisure services, said she set up the event to encourage students at the Student Activity Center to try different adaptive sports commonly played by disabled individuals. “It’s a good opportunity for (therapeutic recreation) students to not only try out the equipment, but also encourage others,” Schilling said. “We feel very fortunate that we have (the equipment) to train our students on how to use the devices, and then they can work with individuals with disabilities.”

dium won’t change it. It may encourage people over 21 to drink inside the game a little more.” Heeke said the students who do get caught with alcohol are kicked out of the game. “We take a pretty hard stand and smuggling in alcohol is against the rules of the stadium,” Heeke said. Alcohol is allowed in the stadium’s parking lot, so some students wonder why there is such a strict policy against selling it at the game. “Football and beer are always thought of going together,” said Troy sophomore Missy Clay. “I think that it wouldn’t make much of a difference if we sold it at our games. The fact that other schools do it shows that it’s not a bad thing.”

Student Government Association President Vince Cavataio, a Shelby Township senior, was critical of the last FA picket during the last home game, because it was also CMU and You Day for recruiting. During the parade, however, he said he is more neutral. “I don’t see any problem with it if they’re protesting at the parade,” Cavataio said. “It’s their right to do so.”

Schilling said the therapeutic recreation department has many other devices for the disabled including hand-cycles, an assortment of skis and a handicap-accessible golf cart with a rotating seat. Monroe senior Casey Harris, a therapeutic recreation major, tried all the sports and said she found goal-ball to be the most difficult. Harris said Adaptive Sports Day was a great way to have fun and educate students about different adaptive sports. “The most difficult one was goal-ball. It’s really hard to tell where you are in the room and you’re skeptical about being

blindfolded,” Harris said. “As a therapeutic recreation major, I think it’s really important for everyone to know about adaptive sports and to be more accepting of adaptive sports in general.” Grandville junior Kyle Stevens was playing basketball in the Student Activity Center when he decided to try a few games of wheelchair basketball. Stevens shot the game-winning basket while he was playing, but said the sport was much more difficult than he expected. “I had a good time, but it’s definitely harder than it looks trying to dribble,” Stevens said. “I didn’t do as well as I thought I would do. The shot at the end was one of few shots made.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Football game routes to change By Hailee Sattavara Staff Reporter

A new exit strategy will be implemented Saturday for the Homecoming football game to help minimize traffic congestion. Lt. Cameron Wassman, of the Central Michigan University Police Department, said this weekend will result in high traffic around Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. “We’ve been working on (the strategy) over the past few months, setting things on paper,” Wassman said. Entry into lots will not be allowed 30 minutes prior to the end of the game as part of the exit plan, Wassman said. “We need time to make sure the route is free of vehicles,” Wassman said.

“What would normally be in-bound traffic will be used for out-bound traffic.” Lots 63, 64, 70, 71 and 73 will exit west onto West Campus Road. Lot 62E, 63 and the overflow lot will exit east from Bluegrass Road onto Mission Road. Lot 63W and 61 will exit north onto Broomfield Road. CMU and Mount Pleasant Police will be positioned at main intersections including Broomfield and Mission roads, West Campus Drive and Broomfield Road, and West Campus Drive and Mission Road. CMU Police have coordinated with athletics and facilities managment to implement the new strategy, which will encompass direction on CMU property with help from the Mount

Comedian Chris Tucker’s Saturday performance has been moved to Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium after selling only 1,200 tickets so far. The Central Michigan University Program Board decided to change the venue originally scheduled in the CMU Events Center, but the low number of tickets sold could not fill enough of the 5,300 seats available. Student Activities Coordinator Damon Brown, PB adviser,

said the show unfortunately had to move because of low ticket sales. Brown said he felt Plachta Auditorium would be more suitable for the 1,200 individuals who already purchased tickets. “We didn’t sell enough tickets and had to make a decision in the best interest of everyone going to the show,” Brown said. “We wanted to make sure it would be a good environment for Chris and for people attending the show.” Brown said he felt the ticket prices did not play a role in the poor sales, and said Chris

DETROIT — Former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore was unbowed and unrepentant Thursday in blaming recent storms, droughts and wildfires on climate change. Speaking before about 550 people at Wayne State University, Gore reeled off statistics about huge downpours in Pakistan and Colombia, wildfires in Australia and drought in Texas in the past year that he said are clear evidence of the looming climate crisis. Even his own hometown, Nashville, had floods that experts said would only be expected once every 1,000

away and land in the lap of future generations, he said. Warmer air holds more water vapor, which has caused larger and more widespread heavy storms, he said. For example, the scale that measures the strength of hurricanes and tropical storms goes through 5, but scientists are considering adopting a 6th level to accommodate fiercer storms, he said. Gore said that in the same way tobacco companies tried to discredit scientists 40 years ago who found a link between smoking and cancer, sowing doubt in the public’s mind about whether the science was valid, industries are trying to discredit the science on global warming.

The mentality then was “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone,” expressed in some internal emails about the mortgage situation, he said.

Tucker performances in different markets generally cost much more to attend. “I don’t think ticket prices are high by any stretch of imagination with bleacher tickets for only $10,” Brown said. “For those 1,200 people that have tickets, it will be a great show.” Damon said Plachta Auditorium will be sectioned off to reflect the value of tickets already purchased.

Final candidate interviews for new position By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

Cherise Peters describes herself with one word: passionate. The former associate vice president for enrollment services and registrar at Georgia State University wants to be the first person to hold that same position at Central Michigan University. “I’m a pretty open book,” Peters said. “I got a reputation at Georgia in the first

six months of knowing more people on that campus than anyone else.” About 30 attended her forum at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Bovee University Center’s Lake Huron room. She began by greeting and shaking hands with every person in the room. Wheeler sophomore Alexandria Kennedy said the gesture left a good impression on her. “I think she has a charisma,” Kennedy said. “I re-

ally liked the way she came around and introduced herself to all of us.” Peters is working toward a doctorate in philosophy of education from Georgia State. She received her masters in human resources from Keller Graduate School and her Masters in Leadership and Education from Harvard. Peters also has 32 years of leadership experience in enrollment and student affairs. She was vice president for enrollment at Georgia State from

2004 to 2011. She also served as its registrar, assistant director of university information services and co-chairwoman of student information and systems banner implementation project. She said her experience makes her ready to handle the job at CMU. “This is what I know I can do really well,” Peters said. “This is a place that wants the same service structure put into place.” A forum | 11a

‘everyone loves sabin’ Drag Show Bingo brings crowd of more than 200 By Sienna Monczunski | Staff Reporter

Bingo is not just reserved for the elderly. About 260 students attended Drag Show Bingo Wednesday evening in Powers Hall 234. Drag Show Bingo was organized by Shannon Jolliff, director of LGBTQ Services, in conjunction with Coming Out Week. Sabin, from Hamtramck, opened with a dance number to the song “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. She then picked on audience members. Farmington sophomore Graham Morrison, who attended Drag Queen Bingo for the first time with his girlfriend, was one of her targets. Sabin questioned his sexuality and the audience coerced him into taking his shirt off. “Being in the front row, I wanted to see if (Sabin) would pick on me, and I certainly got what I bargained for,” Morrison said. Sabin was a dancer before becoming a drag queen. She said she began impersonating women

after injuring her knee and was no longer able to dance. She has performed drag for eight and a half years. Wednesday’s bingo event was her third time hosting it at CMU. She has also performed in April’s drag show seven times.

Center Line seniors Milene Head and Kristina Rajcevski laugh during Drag Queen Bingo Wednesday evening in Powers 243. Detroit based drag queen Sabin lead the event, part of Coming Out Week. “I think it’s hilarious,” Rajcevski said.

Winners of bingo were rewarded with bags of candy. Sabin then gave another performance set to Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls)” after a fiveminute intermission. Sabin then took questions from the audience. “CMU changed my life.

After one of my performances, you guys gave me a standing ovation, not because you had to, but because you truly enjoyed my performance,” Sabin said. “It helped remind me why I do what I do.” A sabin | 11a

More charter schools to come State bill would not cause dramatic change at CMU By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

More charter schools could open after a bill was approved by the Michigan Senate. However, the bill, which was approved on Oct. 6, would not dramatically increase the number of schools Central Michigan University opens, said Mary Kay Shields, interim executive director of the Center for Charter Schools at CMU. The nine-bill package called the Parent Empowerment Education Reform Package would lift the cap on charter schools. After being approved by the Republican-led Senate, the legislation will have to pass the Republican-led House of Representatives and be signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder. Shields said there will be “smart growth” in choosing schools, not just any growth. “CMU has always had a rigorous and thoughtful process for considering charter schools,” she said.

“It’s not going to open up a floodgate.” Shields said CMU is the first and largest university charter school authorizer in Michigan, with the largest enrollment in the nation. Charter school growth in Michigan would not affect the quality of education in each school, Shields said. She said CMU chooses charter schools thoughtfully, and only authorizes them when convinced the school will be the best. “We have stood for and will continue to stand for quality,” she said. Shields said in exchange for removing the cap, there are some additional red tape requirements for authorizers when they consider charter schools, but it is basically what CMU is already doing. Community colleges, intermediate school districts and K-12 local education agencies are not limited in the number of charter schools they can sponsor, but public universities are legislatively capped at 150 schools statewide. CMU has 58 authorized charter schools this year with enrollment on more than 30,000 students, said a spokesman for the Center

LGBTQ friendliness jumps by 2 points CMU raises to 4.5 stars out of 5 By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University has been given a new rating of 4.5 stars out of five on the Campus Pride Index Survey. It had previously received 2.5 stars when the survey was taken in 2008. “This puts us right up there with other schools in our conference,” said Shannon Jolliff, director of LGBTQ Services. Since 2008, several changes were made which improved the score. Joliff was hired as a full-time director to the LGBTQ office in 2008, Residence Life adopted a gender-neutral housing option, and gender identity/ gender expression was adopted into the university’s non-discrimination policy. “We are really happy that the new score now accurately reflects the changes we’ve made on campus since we were first scored,” said Justin Gawronski, president of Spectrum, formerly the Gay Straight Alliance on campus. This rating puts the university on the same level as Western Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University and Grand Valley State University.

The only university within the state with a higher rating is the University of Michigan — one of 33 schools in the country that Campus Pride awarded five stars. Michigan State University has not taken the survey. “I think if we could make a few changes, like do more outreach in high schools, our rating would increase,” Jolliff said. She said an official gender-neutral housing program would also improve the score, which GVSU recently approved. There was a proposal for gender-neutral housing written last year to Residence Life but was denied, before being passed on for a decision from the Student Government Association. “The proposal has been written, the talks have been made, it’s up to the students now,” Jolliff said. For now, she said she plans to focus more on retention efforts and recruitment of LGBTQ community members. Kylee Meade, Roseville senior and president of Transcend, an RSO which strives for more transgender education and offers a safe haven where transgender people on campus can come to be themselves, notices the effort on the university’s part.

About 800 students get degree advice during MAJOR night By Sienna Monczunski Staff Reporter

About 800 students visited the Bovee University Center Rotunda to learn about more than 150 undergraduate programs offered at Central Michigan University. Many Advisers Joined under One Roof Night brought academic advisers from every department, who set up booths with pamphlets and offered advising to students who approached with questions and concerns on Wednesday night. Fremont sophomore Michael Dekuiper transferred to CMU from SaginawValley State University. He said he transferred because of the larger campus at CMU in comparison to the smaller size and commu-

nity of SVSU. “I am here to figure out what I want to do with my life. I like politics, but it tends to make me mad at the world,” Dekuiper said. “I know that I need to sign for my major after this semester because I will have around 60 credits.” Groups such as Study Abroad, military services, and Multicultural Academic Student Services also had booths with information for students. “Everyone wants to know about Study Abroad. It is required in the foreign languages major, so they have every right to ask,” said Keith Palka, professor of foreign languages, literatures and cultures. Palka along with Taryn Waters, instructor of foreign languages, literatures and cultures,

“Everyone wants to know about study abroad. It is required in the foreign languages major, so they have every right to ask,” Keith Palka, foreign language, literatures

and cultures professor hosted the foreign language studies booth. Palka said students mistakenly assume the only avenue for foreign language is teaching. He said students who study foreign languages have a wide possibility of careers including fields in travel, government jobs and translating careers. Palka said another possible benefit of studying a foreign language is the feasibility of fin-

ishing school in four years. “Some people are fearful of foreign language the way they are with math, but most get over those fears fairly quick(ly),” Palka said. Some of the longer lines included students seeking help in pre-med, child development, family studies and apparel merchandising. studentlife@cm-life.com

Institutional Diversity gets $1.5 million in new grants By Mike Nichols Senior Reporter

Kannyn Boyd, 7, of Mount Pleasant reads to Carson, a standard poodle, on Wednesday evening during Reading with the Tale Waggers at Veterans Memorial Library, 301 S. University Ave. “My favorite part was petting the dog,” Kannyn said.

Listen up, Tale Waggers ! Children practice reading with pooches By Melissa Beauchamp Staff Reporter

7 year-old Kannyn Boyd has been reciting the words from her book of poems in preparation for a reading in front of an audience. But her audience isn’t an ordinary one. A four-legged, tail-wagging dog sat and listened one-on-one with Kannyn Wednesday as she read “Miles of Smiles” by Bruce Lansky. “I like that they listen,” Kannyn said. She said she likes coming to the Veterans Memorial Library, 301 S. University Ave., to read to the dogs in a program created by the Mount Pleasant Michigan Kennel Club. Since 2003, the Tale Waggers have children learn to read by lending them a listening ear through man’s best friend. “I know that people will bring little dogs, and I like little dogs,” Kannyn said. Kannyn said she loves reading, especially “Junie B. Jones” books. The second-grader said she tries reading to her Cockapoo at home, but it doesn’t always turn out successfully. “It runs away,” she said. Her 9-year-old sister, Kolbey Boyd, also attended the program and said she loves the combination of reading and dogs. “I like doing this because I really like dogs,” she said. Kolbey and Kannyn’s mother, Linda Boyd, principal of Fancher 5/6 Elementary School, 801 S. Kinney Ave., said Tale Waggers is an opportunity to support reading and literacy. This is the first year Linda brought her daughters to Tale Waggers. She said she wanted to last year, but the program was booked. Linda said she finds reading important for young adolescents and reading to dogs makes it more enjoyable.

The Office for Institutional Diversity has created two programs with the help of a $1.5 million grant to help lowincome and first-generation students. The new programs, the Michigan College and University Partnership and the Select Student Support Services, began Oct. 1. The Michigan Strategic Fund awarded the grants through the King Chavez Parks Initiative. MICUP will receive $120,000 annually and 4S will receive $130,000 annually, for six years. “The programs we just got were two programs that were missing from Central Michigan University’s portfolio,” said Mary Henley, director of Gear Up, which is another government-funded program offering middle school and high school students tutoring and mentoring for college information. “Once they get to campus, we will take a look at eligible students and insert

them into the pathway program.” The programs will offer mentoring, social networking, first-year experience activities and individualized programs to students on campus and before they arrive. Henley is serving as the project director of the 4S program, which will be called the Pathways to Academic Student Success Program at CMU. First-generation students are defined as students whose parents do not have bachelors degrees, Henley said. Lowincome students are those eligible for free lunch in public schools. The new programs will be open to students regardless of their involvement with the Gear Up program, she said. Although Gear Up helps prepare middle school and high school students for college, there was no program for them once they actually got to college, Henley said. While the MICUP program will also work with low-income, first-generation stu-

dents, it will specifically focus on transfer students. The selected transfer colleges MICUP will apply to are Mid Michigan Community College, Bay Mills Community College, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College and Lansing Community College. Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs, is also the director of the MICUP program. Green said the colleges were chosen because many students needing MICUP assistance transfer from those four colleges. Green said the programs are in the pilot stage. They will work on putting events and staff in place and finding students who are eligible for the programs. They will begin processing students into the programs around December or January, she said. “I really want to see the transfer rate increase, as well as the retainment rate,” Green said. “We’re hoping to give them that added support when they arrive.” university@cm-life.com

Ross to attend several dinners with students By Catey Traylor Staff Reporter

Kalbey Boyd, 9, of Mount Pleasant reads to Andy, a whippet, on Wednesday evening during Reading with the Tale Waggers at Veterans Memorial Library, 301 S. University Ave. “It helps the kids more than anything,” said Tim Parsons, Andy’s owner.

“It inspires them to read. They spend a lot of time picking up the right book,” she said. “It’s comical, because they want to make the dog happy.” Alice Jenicke, co-chairwoman of Tale Waggers, said this organization is a perfect fit for her. “I like kids and I like dogs,” she said. “I’m a librarian here, so I like reading.” Jenicke said she has noticed some changes in participants as they progress each week. “It does make an impression on a lot of kids,” she said. She recently had an eighthgrader come back to give his appreciation to the group after what they did for him when he was younger, she said. The Tale Waggers also participate in “Study Break Therapy” at Central Michigan University, and have gone to other libraries in Alma and Shepherd. To get the community aware and involved, Tale Waggers advertises the event on the library website, along with sending flyers home to elementary parents. Clare resident Lori Lickly said the Tale Waggers program allows kids to relax with the dogs. “It’s a very non-threatening environment,” she said. “They don’t get corrected if they read it wrong.” Lickly said anywhere from

two to 15 teams volunteer and bring their own dogs, depending on how many kids are expected. “We have an interest in doing community service,” she said. “We’ve heard about programs in other states that do it.” Tale Waggers will be meeting for the remaining Wednesdays in October. Kohrman said the experience is rewarding in many ways. She said she had a parent call and thank her because for the first time, her child brought a book home from school to read. A member of Tale Waggers, Dee Kohrman, said reading to the dogs boosts childrens’ reading comprehension. “It makes them happy with books,” she said. metro@cm-life.com

University President George Ross is giving students an opportunity to ask him questions one-on-one while having dinner in residential restaurants. “It was completely the president’s idea,” said Joan Schmidt, associate vice president of Residence Life. “He contacted us to see if we could set up dates and times and spread the word.” The first of four dinners this semester was held Oct. 3 in the Towers Residence Halls’ Real Food on Campus. The next dinner will be at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday in Merrill Residential Restaurant. There will also be dinners at 6 p.m. Nov. 1 at Fresh Food Co. and 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at Robinson Residential Restaurant. There is no official registration required to attend one of the dinners, Schmidt said. “At the Oct. 3 dinner in the Towers, there were about 20 students and they rotated seats every so often so each student got an opportunity to speak to the president,” she said. Illinois freshman Ophelia Swanson sees the dinners as Ross’s attempt to communi-

cate with students and prove Ross truly cares. “It’s a good idea that he’s trying to get more involved with students,” she said. “He’s probably trying to give himself a better reputation and get in a better light with the students and show that he really does care despite what’s been going on with the faculty.” Some students are weary of attending the dinners because of the ongoing contract dis-

pute between the university and the Faculty Association. “I don’t particularly like the situation that’s going on between the teachers and the president, and I think going to eat with him might end up in a bad discussion,” said Capac freshman Shannon Draper. “I probably wouldn’t make an effort to be involved in the conversation at all.” university@cm-life,com

Law could legalize Taser use for state residents By Jordan Spence Senior Reporter

perry fish/staff photographer

The driver of a Ford Freestyle involved in a collision with a pedestrian is consoled by Mount Pleasant Police Officer Angela Brown Thursday afternoon on East Broomfield Street. The pedestrian, 73-year-old Mount Pleasant Resident Linda Hardy, suffered a head injury, as well as a leg injury. “Just a reminder that people need to be careful,” said Mount Pleasant Sgt. Sarah Cuthbertson.

Several accidents Wednesday By Jordan Spence Senior Reporter

A two-car accident Wednesday afternoon led to one woman being airlifted to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the accident happened at about 1:38 p.m. on East River Road. Karen Reeves was driving a U.S. Postal Service truck when Patrick Murphy attempted to pass her. When Reeves tried to make a left turn on Stoney Creek Lane, Murphy’s Chevrolet Silverado pickup collided with the U.S. Postal Service truck. “The mail carrier was westbound and was either trying to make a left turn or u-turn,” he said. “While she was making the turn, a westbound Chevy Silverado hit the driver side of the mail carrier’s vehicle.” Officials from the Isabella County Sheriff’s office said Reeves was ejected from her vehicle as it overturned. Both Reeves and Murphy were transported to Central Michigan Community Hospital, 1221 S. Drive, by Mobile Medical Response. Reeves was then flown to Spectrum Health Systems in Grand Rapids as a result of head trauma. Spectrum Hospital or CMCH neither commented on the conditions of Reeves and Murphy on Thursday.

Mount Pleasant fire and police officials tend to a 36-year-old Vestaburg woman involved in a rollover accident early Wednesday morning on Remus Road. The driver of the vehicle, a 24-year-old Mount Pleasant man, fled the scene.

FOUR-CAR PILE-UP Two people were taken to CMCH Wednesday afternoon after a four-car pile-up in front of Taco Bell, 1143 S. Mission St. “One car rear-ended another, which rear-ended the one in front of it, and so on,” said Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne. “There were four cars total.” Browne said he did not know the condition of those taken to the hospital. No injuries in rollover A rollover accident on Remus Road led to multiple charges after the driver fled the scene early Wednesday morning.

When deputies arrived to the scene the driver, a 24-yearold Mount Pleasant man, had fled leaving a passenger, a 36-year-old Vestaburg woman, at the scene, Mioduszewski said. The driver was charged on four counts; driving while intoxicated, driving with a suspended license, resisting and obstructing the police and failure to report an injury accident. “There do not appear to be any serious injuries as a result of the accident,” Mioduszewski said. “The suspect has yet to be arraigned.” metro@cm-life.com

Michigan residents with concealed pistol permits could be allowed to carry Tasers if Senate Bill 29 passes in the State House and becomes law. The bill is part of a new package of three bills passed in the Michigan Senate Oct. 4 and is waiting on a vote by the Michigan House of Representatives. “After having 31 years in police work, I saw firsthand the victims of violent crimes,” said Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. “I want Michigan residents to have another way to protect themselves.” If the legislation passes, Michigan would join 43 states that allow citizens to carry Tasers, Jones said. The bill passed in the senate with a lot of bipartisan support with a vote of 35-3, he said. Carrying a Taser has been banned in Michigan since 1976, with the exception of police and correctional officers. The bill includes restrictions on when a Taser could be used. The only times a citizen could use a Taser against another person would be in cases when their life is in immediate danger, if someone is causing a person great bodily harm and in defense against rape, Jones said. “If they can carry a firearm as long as they have a proper permit, I don’t see how this will become a huge problem,” said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. “My understanding is that the Tasers will not be providing as much of a shock as police Tasers.” The same laws that apply to handguns will ap-

Air pollutants down in bars after smoking ban Owners unhappy, still seeing decreased business By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Results from an air monitoring study show a decrease in secondhand smoke air pollutants in restaurants since the Michigan smoking ban took effect in May, 2010. The study indicates a 93-percent reduction when the PM2.5 levels were measured after Michigan’s Dr. Ron Davis Smoke Free Air law took action. PM2.5 is a general grouping of particles that comes from cigarettes, pipes or any other tobacco products, said Jennifer Gray, MDCH toxicologist. The Michigan Department of Community Health Tobacco Section, along with other local agencies, conducted the study in the same 77 restaurants before and after the law began on May 1, 2010. “It can instantly trigger asthma or heart attacks when it is breathed in,” she said. The study stated, “of the more

than 5,000 chemicals in secondhand smoke, the two pre-eminent atmospheric markers for secondhand smoke are PM2.5 and nicotine.” Gray said breathing in secondhand smoke may be just as bad as being a smoker. “Studies show just living in a house with a smoker increases ear infections and respiratory difficulties,” she said. Erika Van Dam, Tobacco Reduction Coalition of Northwest Michigan family and community health supervisor, said the study results are very positive. “How wonderful it is to go to a restaurant where smoking isn’t allowed and be able to breathe clean air,” she said. “And the data just backs up the basic awareness.” Within the first three months after the law went into place, there were huge spikes in callers to the Michigan Tobacco Quit Line, Van Dam said. “I can tell you it’s almost daily that people want to quit smoking, and I did not get that before the law went into effect,” she said. The most important part was banning smoking for the employee benefit, Van Dam said. “This is a workplace ban,” she

said. “Now all employees can breathe in clean air and that’s a really positive thing.” Fred Phillips, owner of Freddie’s Tavern, 705 S. Adams St., disagrees with the smoking ban. The owner of 30 years said he doesn’t need the state of Michigan telling him how to run his business, which he said is now down $100,000 in sales since the ban took effect. “Four bars that I know have closed since the ban,” he said. “Thank you very much state of Michigan that has screwed over four families.” Pool tables at Freddie’s Tavern have gone down from three to two, along with losing two dart boards since game revenue has

gone down 40 percent. “People who play those games drink beer, have munchies and smoke,” he said. “Now they come in, but they don’t stay. They do what they do and they leave.” He said instead of the complete ban, legislators would have been smart to implement the ban on new restaurants and leave the existing ones alone. “They need to repeal it,” he said. “The state doesn’t think they have anything to lose, but now everyone loses, the state loses, the people lose because there (are) less jobs. They’re stupid for not figuring that out beforehand.” metro@cm-life.com

“After having 31 years in police work, I saw firsthand the victims of violent crimes, I want Michigan residents to have another way to protect themselves.” Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge ply to Tasers as well, Jones said. If a citizen purchases a Taser, he or she will need to have a clean background check and complete an eight-hour concealed weapons course, Jones said. “I saw a lot of support for the bill,” Jones said. “Many women said they agree with the legislation and there was a lot of bipartisan support.” Jones said there isn’t a good common-sense argu-

ment against the legislation, since Tasers replace bullets with electricity. Mioduszewski said Tasers deliver .02-.04 amps of electricity and have one to two joules of power. A vacuum provides 12 amps of electricity and 300 joules of power, he said. “The voltage isn’t what’s important,” he said. “The ampage is what kills.” metro@cm-life.com

Learning not to take family, life for granted “It’s a jungle down there!” This is what my 84-year-old grandpa said about a large, crowded parking lot last Friday as we drove through Detroit Metro Airport. He, my dad and I were catching a flight to Florida, and everywhere we went in the terminal, his remarks weren’t unlike that first one — eager but confused. He used words like “zoo” to describe getting through airport security and “a bunch of bums” for all the people who crossed the terminal every which way. But I couldn’t blame him. After all, this was his first time at the airport, his first time scrambling through security and navigating the terminal, and it was his first time ever on an airplane. At first, I’d been surprised. The World War II veteran who taught me to play Rummy, the man who I’ve always called “Puppa” — he had never flown before. We were to visit with my great aunt and uncle, my dad’s cousins and a whole slew of relatives I’d never met for the next two days. Both my grandma and a great uncle on my dad’s side died within the last year, and this trip was something my grandpa called “the last roundup.” During the entire flight, Puppa kept his nose pressed against the window, his eyes scanning the landscape we passed over at 35,000 feet. Every once in a while, he’d watch the engines, fascinated by the mechanics of it all. It was almost moving how he took hold of every moment, taking in the experience, and I appreciated him for this. But that whole weekend, I would find myself confronted with things I take for granted. After the flight landed, we drove to my Great Aunt Doris’ horse ranch in Ocala, Fla. There, waiting in the driveway, was my Great Uncle Art with a video camera on a tripod to capture our arrival. My dad had brought his research into our family tree with him on the trip. It dated back in one area to 300 B.C. and to Scottish royalty in another, but there were a lot of holes he hoped his Aunt Doris could fill in. He’d given me the explanation of the family tree before, and it just never stuck with me. It was only that weekend that I appreciated it — being surrounded by the people whose names it included and hearing their stories. Now, I’m kicking myself for not taking the time to get know these family members sooner. I wish I could’ve heard their stories before, and seen those photos. I wish I took more photos, or even remembered to look out an airplane window to soak in the view. As students, we don’t always take the time to do these things. Between classes, work and social lives, life just moves too fast. It really is “a jungle” out there. I may joke about the things puppa said and did because I know he grew up in a different time. His word choices and experiences are completely different from mine. He doesn’t know a lot of things, like that you need an Amazon account to order books for your Kindle because the device doesn’t come with them built-in. He doesn’t know what Twitter is or the difference between WiFi and an ethernet cable. Some people might say that means he’s a bit out-of-touch with today’s reality. But that weekend, it really took someone like him to pull me down right back down to it.

EDITORIAL | Football tradition could be destroyed beyond repair

BROKEN TAILGATE It has been more than two years since Central Michigan University created new regulations for tailgating on campus, and the tradition of tailgating at CMU is dead. This becomes even more apparent during Homecoming Weekend. Alumni come back to celebrate before the football game and head back to Lot 63 where they see only a vague resemblance to what happened during their time as students. The regulations — including a ban on glass bottles and pets, rules for sound systems and a limit on the quantity of alcoholic beverages one person can bring into the lot – destroyed tailgating at CMU. While last year’s homecoming tailgate brought the highest number of students since the rules were established, that number dwindled when it came to Western Weekend, a time when tailgate used to thrive. While they drew big crowds, the two tailgates do not rival the tailgates of 2008, before the rules were established.

While law enforcement was prevalent, there wasn’t a feeling of being baby-sat as security guards sat at every entrance and barricades forced strict entry points. Fans got excited for the game and brought that into Kelly/Shorts Stadium, creating a fired-up atmosphere. Although the rules themselves are not especially restrictive, the fact that there are rules, and posts of police officers enforcing them, spoiled tailgating for the entire campus. As a matter of fact, tailgating has been so thoroughly destroyed by the rules, that if they were repealed, tailgating would likely still not recover. The majority of current students don’t remember the larger tailgates from before the rules, so the tradition of a massive party in the parking lot exists largely in the memories of upperclassmen and alumni. So why not repeal them? At this point, what harm could it do?

In 2010, Athletics upped the cost of security from $10,000 to $20,000. At the time they spent more than $4,000 a game just to watch a few students calmly tailgate. This year the results have been much of what was experienced during 2010, as students have decided to go to Main Street and the surrounding areas before the game. Making tailgate look less like a war zone, with barricades surrounding students on all sides, might be the first step. It’s not appealing to anyone to be forced inside a box, while just a stone’s throw away families and CMU alumni sit in their vehicles grilling, preparing in a atmosphere that looks a little more like an actual tailgate. Allowing students a chance to enjoy themselves in a free and open environment could save a CMU tradition, but right now tailgate seems long gone.

[letter to the editor]

Possible changes to anti-fault laws not good I am writing this letter today because I just learned that the Michigan House Committee on Insurance has begun hearing testimony on HB 4936. This bill would drastically change our auto anti-fault laws and not in a good way. The upshot of this proposed legislation is that it would allow the insurance companies to renege on their 40-yearold promise of lifetime medical coverage in exchange for a mandatory payment of car insurance by those who choose to drive. This would (surprise, surprise)

allow the insurance companies here in the state to make bigger corporate profits. The loss of no-fault auto insurance funding for these expenses (lifetime medical coverage) will mean a massive cost shift to Medicaid and Medicare, thus increasing the state and federal tax burden for Michigan citizens. It would also lead to a loss of jobs. We already have a jobs problem, why do our lawmakers want to make it worse? The insurance companies, which in Michigan are some of

the least regulated and most influential powerful corporations in this state, are getting all three branches of our state government to carry their water. We need a government in Lansing that cares more about the regular folks and less about the corporations. Please contact your state senator and state representative and let them know that our rights are more important than insurance companies’ profits. James Moreno Mount Pleasant resident

We’re ranked number 94 in rushing for the nation. What is our average about 3 yards a carry, how pathetic is that? I guess when you have as many picks as touchdown passes you are doing OK too. In fact, every position should be about a D besides the tight ends and receivers who still should have a C ranking. Enos has been terrible.

Never replacing BlackBerry

Just try and pry my BlackBerry from my fingers. My best friend and I got our BlackBerries together. One Wednesday morning he called to tell me he had news: he was switching from our beloved BlackBerry to an Android. We talked it out, and ultimately I took his betrayal in stride. “Wow, this was harder than telling my parents I’m gay,” he joked. We ultimately got through the struggle, and mostly because I knew he was in for a downgrade of devices. This was in April. And today, despite this week’s three-day service outage, I know my BlackBerry is superior to any other device ... at least for me. My obsession with my BlackBerry is real and it’s deep: aside from when I’m asleep, nary an hour goes by without me checking my device. Now I admit, an iPhone or an Android phone has more multimedia capabilities, but my BlackBerry does what I need it to do — messaging — better than any other device. Plus, Research In Motion, the company that makes BlackBerry, just came out with a new line designed to compete with the multimedia capabilities of its opponents. I love the QWERTY keyboard and the interface, specifically, having buttons, just makes more sense to me. I look like a caveperson trying to operate a touchscreen-based phone. It’s as though my fine motor skills have disappeared while I point, punch and jab at the buttonless screen, my fingerprints glaring back at me with smug disgust. For my job, I have an Android, but I still prefer my BlackBerry. There are definitely pros to the Android: using it as a mobile hotspot is much more convenient than it is on my dated BlackBerry. While taking a picture or shooting video is easier on my BlackBerry, the quality is better on the Android. But what I need the BlackBerry for most, it comes through with, and in much better form than my Android: email. My BlackBerry sends and receives messages with much greater speed than my Android, which doesn’t constantly update with email messages. I can send and receive several messages on my BlackBerry in the time it takes for my Android to update with the same messages. Ultimately, for a professional on the go, it’s inefficient. The other operating systems just don’t keep up with the BlackBerry, at least in the primary uses of the smartphone: phone calls and messaging. Perhaps I’m enslaved to my device, perhaps another friend is correct when he said that they would find me 50 years from now BlackBerry Messaging myself. But it’s going to take a lot to see me get rid of my BlackBerry.

Central Michigan Life were still competitive and the players showed up. A blowout loss to MSU can be forgiven, but having one of the worst offensive games in the history of the school makes is unacceptable. What did we have about 105 yards of offense against State? I mean what does it take to get Enos to try something different because it is obviously not working!! How can you ignore the terrible play calling and offensive schemes? It’s always run up the middle get nothing the first two plays and then throw on 3rd. The man has no head coaching ability at all and anything above a D is moronic. Seriously, I really like CM Life, but this article is terrible. Open your eyes!!!!

Two car smashing sessions planned for Homecoming By Sienna Monczunski and Megan Rolph Staff Reporters

Participants will be offered the opportunity to beat a car with a sledgehammer as part of two different events this Homecoming weekend. The first event, Homecoming Car Bash, will take place Friday at the Wesley Center at Central Michigan University, 1400 S. Washington St. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. To beat the car with the sledgehammer, participants must pay $1 a hit. The Delta Chi fraternity is also hosting a Car Smash on Saturday in Lot 63. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students will first be able to spray paint the car from 11 a.m. to noon, then at 12:30 p.m., the car smashing will begin. Delta Chi started the car smash to support the football team at tailgate and raise money for charity. “We created this event to not only help out (the) Jimmy V Foundation, but also to support the Central Michigan University football team,” said Zachary Ernat, Westland sophomore and Delta Chi philanthropy chairman. “We want to boost the morale on campus, so we are hoping lots of people participate and have a good time.” The V Foundation supports cancer research. It was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, a North Carolina State University basketball coach who died from cancer. “It is a fun and unique way to donate to a good cause,” said Connor Gallagher, Warren senior and president of Delta Chi. “Any dollar is

good, if you donate $1, that would be good for cancer research; anything helps.” Delta Chi came up with the idea for the car smash with the help of an alumnus, who donated the car for the event. It will cost students $2 to spray paint the car. As for the Car Smash, $1 will be for one swing, $2 for a “strike out,” which is three swings, and $3 for a “grand slam,” which will be five swings. All proceeds will go to The V Foundation. After the Car Bash there will be a screening of the movie “Thor.” “We’re also showing the movie ‘Thor,’ so hitting something with a big hammer seemed fitting,” said Wesley Center Director Charlie Farnum. While the main purpose of the event is to fire up the Chippewas, Forum said he is also trying to get the word out about their organization.

Farnum said the money earned will offset the cost of towing the car to Wesley and back as well as having it painted the colors of Eastern Michigan University, and that any extra money earned will be used to support Wesley at CMU. “Wesley is in the center of campus. This is a student community that focuses on caring for yourself and others as we are,” Farnum said. “We eat, we play, we watch movies and we host fun events.” With the stress and anxiety of classes, people involved in events at Wesley agreed a car bash would be a great way to relieve some built-up tension. “Having a car bash is great because it is a place where students can gather on campus for a fun activity and an awesome stress reliever after midterms,” said Port Huron junior Emily Shinavier.

WASHINGTON — Next up for Republicans in the House of Representatives who are seeking to curb the role of the Environmental Protection Agency is a vote Friday on a bill that would give states the power to monitor the disposal of coal ash from power plants. Coal ash contains arsenic, lead and many other toxic materials that can escape into the air or water if the material isn’t properly contained. Coal ash, the general term for the material that’s left behind when coal is burned, is one of the biggest industrial wastes in the nation. U.S. power plants produce 140 million tons of it every year. If the bill became law, it would block the EPA from imposing a federal rule to regulate the coal ash in disposal sites as a hazardous substance. The EPA has proposed that, but it hasn’t yet decided whether to follow through with it or opt for a state-based plan instead. The bill would put the regulatory power in the hands of the states. It sets up a permit system for new coal-ash disposal sites under the Solid Waste Disposal Act. It also sets minimal federal standards and limits the EPA’s role. The bill’s backers argued that the hazardous designation would make people shy away from using products made from recycled coal ash, such as concrete and wallboard, even though the ash that’s bound up in these things isn’t a hazard. The bill is expected to pass the Republican-controlled House. It has already won the support of some Democrats. The White House said it opposed the bill because the measure undermined the federal government’s ability to make sure that the waste was disposed of in ways that protected human health and the

environment. The statement, however, made no mention of plans for a veto if the bill clears the Senate. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., said in an interview Thursday with McClatchy Newspapers that he discovered that there were problems with the current disposal sites for coal ash. “In the midst of trying to remove the stigma — fly ash (coal ash) being a hazardous material, which it’s not — we got deeper and found there really are some problems with the management of the product that’s not recycled,” he said. The bill would tighten standards for new coal-ash disposal sites so that they’re equal to or greater than those for

municipal landfills, McKinley said. “I feel confident we’ve met the requirements.” The EPA, however, said in an analysis of the bill that municipal waste landfills had a requirement to “protect human health and the environment,” but that the coal ash bill didn’t use that standard. Without it, the EPA would have a hard time making the case that a state program was deficient, the analysis said, according to a summary released by Rep. Henry Waxman of California, the senior Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The bill also would give state officials the authority to waive some requirements and would require the EPA to defer to them.

Pumpkin patch activities set for Sunday Event raises money for breast cancer By Ben Harris Senior Reporter

Corn Maze for a Cure will use autumn activities to raise money for breast cancer education and research. From 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday at Papa’s Pumpkin Patch, 3909 S. Summerton Road, participants will have the opportunity to do activities with prizes involved. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation. “We’re expecting a pretty big turnout to generate a lot for the foundation, and that would be really awesome,” said Romeo junior Gretchen

Wilt, one of the organizers of the event. The event is being organized as an assignment for RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events. Wilt said the activities will include a corn maze with a scavenger hunt, pumpkin painting, a hayride and making caramel apples. “There will also be a raffle drawing, so we have prizes like pizza, a movie night, bowling, different dinners at places like Fazoli’s and others,” Wilt said. The corn maze has six stations, each with numbered breast cancer ribbons, Wilt said. Participants with all six ribbons at the end of the event will receive a T-shirt. “The person with the best painted pumpkin is going to receive a free art class from Art Reach downtown,” Wilt said.

Belding senior Caitlin Regan said participating in the corn maze will cost $7.50, but parents are able to accompany their children and do not have to pay if they do not want to participate. “We sent a bunch of flyers at the beginning of September and a little reminder flyer this past week, gearing more toward community members and families in Mount Pleasant,” Regan said. “Some college students might be interested in coming, but probably mostly family members, so we’re hoping to get a good turnout.” Regan said the Komen Foundation is something she is passionate about. “Actually, I’m walking in the three-day breast cancer walk at the end of October before Halloween. I’m flying to Tampa to do the walk

with my mom and my little sister,” Regan said. “The reason we are walking is because my aunt passed away from breast cancer and my other aunt is a survivor.” Regan said she needs to raise $2,300 to participate in the walk and the event on Sunday would help her reach her goal. Oxford junior Jesse Hayes said the group had been planning the event since the first week of classes. “We have worked very hard, basically nonstop since we got the assignment,” she said. Hayes said she hopes for good weather on Sunday. “I’m very excited about it,” she said. “This is what I want to do for my career, plan events, so I’m hoping this is a good stepping-off point.” studentlife@cm-life.com

BAGHDAD — Baghdad was shaken Thursday for the second day in a row by a series of bomb blasts that claimed at least 18 lives and left 40 people wounded. Thursday’s explosions came in the Sadr City district of eastern Baghdad, the stronghold of radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada alSadr and his Mahdi Army militia. They came the day after a series of explosions targeted mostly security facilities in the Iraqi capital, claiming the lives of 23 Iraqis and wounding more than 70. Thursday’s blasts began with the detonation of a socalled “sticky bomb” that had been attached to a parked car near a Sadr City market, said Hakim al-Zamili, a Sadrist lawmaker and a member of parliament’s Security and Defense Committee. “When people gathered, two other roadside bombs detonated,” he said. The two days of coordi-

nated blasts underscored the fragile security situation in Baghdad just weeks before all U.S. troops are to withdraw from the country. Iraqi officials have requested that 5,000 American trainers stay on past Dec. 31, but they’ve said the trainers won’t be granted immunity from prosecution under Iraqi laws, a condition that the U.S. previously has called a deal breaker. U.S. officials have said talks are continuing, but Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said this week that Iraq was waiting for a “yes or no” response. Zamili, who was visiting the wounded in a hospital Thursday, blamed the explosions on the indifference of the country’s security officials. “The security officials don’t really care about people and their lives because they live in the heavy protected green zone and they never feel the danger,” he said. Zamili said he expected even more attacks because terrorist groups had infiltrated the country’s security forces.

Bank of America to start charging monthly fee for debit card use By Jordan Spence Senior Reporter

Beginning early next year Bank of America will begin charging debit card users $5 each month for using their cards nationwide. “This new fee allows us to continue to offer the service and convenience customers have come to expect from Bank of America,” said Bank of America spokeswoman Betty Reiss in an email. “It will still include: fraud protection, $0 Liability, overdraft prevention, record-keeping, fraud monitoring, and savings programs such as Keep the Change and Add-It-Up.” The bank did not state an exact date for the new changes. Impacted customers will be notified in writing at least 30 days before the bank begins assessing the monthly fee, Reiss said. Customers who want to continue using the bank’s debit cards will have to pay the monthly fee, Reiss said.

The fee will apply to customers who use their debit card for purchases, both PIN and signature. “It’s hard to tell if other banking institutions will begin charging the same fees,” said Erika Ross, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Isabella Bank and Trust. “Speaking for Isabella Bank, we currently do not charge a monthly fee on our debit cards and it has not been a topic of conversation.” Customers who don’t use the debit card for a purchase in a given month will not be charged, Reiss said. Customers who don’t want to pay this fee can continue to access their checking accounts to get cash from ATMs, through online bill pay, and increasingly through their mobile phones and with person-to-person transfers, Reiss said. “Again, our goal is to ensure that we are clear in our communications with customers about

our fees,” Reiss said. “We have structured our products so that customers understand what they are getting and how much it costs.” Customers that bring more business to the bank won’t have to pay the $5 fee to Bank of America, she said. She said the the debit card will be one of the many complimentary services available to customers in certain “premium accounts.” Clients that have a Wealth Management/Merrill Lynch and US Trust will not be charged the fee. Dearborn freshman Amanda Balaka said she would probably leave her bank if they started charging monthly debit card fees. “I shouldn’t have to pay to give them business,” Balaka said. “Sometimes you don’t have that much money in your account, so those fees make a difference.” metro@cm-life.com

College students making mark in mobile apps By Jason Lewis Capital News Service

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Some college students grab part-time jobs at local stores or the school library for extra cash. Megan Monroe, a graduate student at the University of Maryland, builds mobile apps. The mobile app market is booming — with revenues projected to surpass $15 billion in 2011, according to Berg Insight — and entrepreneurial student programmers like Monroe are cashing in. Monroe’s moneymaker is an iPhone drawing app called PulsART. It sells for 99 cents and is downloaded three to five times a day in countries such as Brazil, Italy and Japan. “You’d be surprised. It adds up. I have a couple of apps out. Those make

me a couple of bucks a day,” said Monroe, who uses the money to cover a few bills or groceries. Monroe doesn’t expect to get rich. “It’s hard to make a big slash in the app store if you’re just sort of an independent designer and you’re making pitchy, almost silly, useless stuff,” said Monroe, who is studying computer science at the university. Some college students have created wildly successful entertainment apps. A team at Stanford University designed Air Guitar, which allows users to simulate playing the guitar on an iPhone. Engineering students at the University of Southern California developed Radio, an app that gives users access to thousands of radio stations worldwide.

Though there is money to be made in the entertainment app market, computer science professors at the University of Maryland said they are encouraging students to focus on developing apps that improve the quality of everyday life. “Fun apps are fun. One can always make money from whatever appeals. I’m not too excited about that kind of thing,” said Ashok Agrawala, professor of computer science at the university. Agrawala and a team of student programmers recently launched a mobile app called M-Urgency, which allows people on campus who are in distress to send video and audio from the scene to emergency dispatchers and police officers with the push of a button.

Two people were airlifted to medical centers Monday evening after a car accident involving a train. Heather Foster, a 20-yearold Rosebush resident, was driving westbound in a 2006 GMC Envoy at 8:47 p.m. on Denver Road when she failed to yield the right of way to a train crossing at the railroad grade crossing, just west of Mission Road. The train struck the Envoy between the driver’s door and the driver’s side passenger door. The vehicle was pushed north by the train across the railroad for one-fifth of a mile before stopping. The accident left Foster with a potentially broken left arm, head and facial injuries. She was airlifted from the scene of the accident to Hurley Medical Trauma Center in Flint. The accident also caused unknown injuries to the Envoy passenger and 20-year-old Mount Pleasant resident Levi Light. Light was transported to Central Michigan Community Hospital, 1221 South Drive, and then airlifted to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw. The train was a Great Lakes Central Locomotive hauling seven cargo cars, along with a second locomotive behind the primary locomotive. The engineer was 32-year-old Owosso resident Joshua Whorley, who did not sustain any injury during the accident. According to a press release sent out by the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department, Whorley said the vehicle was not going to stop and he applied the brakes on the locomotive train prior to the Denver Road crossing. The press release said the investigation revealed the driver wasn’t paying attention to the upcoming rail crossing, nor did she see or hear the train. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said accidents involving trains do not happen very often. “We got maybe three train accidents over the last seven years,” Mioduszewski said. Mioduszewski said as peo-

ple approach the tracks, they should be looking both ways to see if there’s a train before proceeding across the tracks. “Any time you come near railroad tracks, especially if it’s out in the country where they don’t have the arms and lights going, you should be looking and expecting that there may be a train coming, that way you can stop in time,” Mioduszewski said. Drugs and alcohol were not believed to be factors in the incident. A seatbelt was worn by Light and it is unknown if Foster had a seatbelt on. The Isabella County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police, the Isabella Northeast Fire Department, Mobile Medical Response and Flightcar. HANDGUN stolen from vehicle in Wayside Central parking lot Officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department are currently investigating the theft of a semi-automatic 9 mm handgun. The handgun was allegedly stolen out of a locked Ford Taurus when it was broken into at 4:14 p.m. Oct. 5 in the parking lot of Wayside Central, 2000 S. Mission St. Cash was also stolen from the vehicle. No suspects have been identified yet, said Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne.

“It’s always a concern of ours when any kind of weapon is stolen,” Browne said. “Not only could the weapon be used for some sort of crime in our community, but that weapon could be utilized in a crime in any other community as well. You just don’t know what somebody’s going to do with it.”

Signs stolen from SIX Lounge, were ‘carefully removed’ Mount Pleasant Police officers are currently investigating a larceny of two signs from the inside of SIX Lounge, 1088 S. University St. One of the signs was a black and white, laminated sign taken out of the bathroom, valued at approximately $15. The other sign is a large black and white vinyl banner taken out of the store, valued at $125. Both signs say “SIX Lounge” on them. Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said this happened on Oct. 4, but was not reported until 12:40 a.m. on Oct. 6. “One was taken out of the bathroom, one was taken out of the store,” Browne said. “Somebody actually carefully removed (the banner). It wasn’t ripped off the wall. The screws were gone. It appears it had been removed cleanly from the area. Whoever did it, I guess they had a screwdriver on them.”

schools. The spokesman said under the current law, high performing charter schools can convert to Michigan “Schools of Excellence,” allowing a new charter spot to open up. The new charter school must be placed in an area that has less than 75 percent graduation rate. The legislation would get rid of this requirement and allow charter schools to open in districts with graduation rates above 75 percent. The bill package would also eliminate the require-

ment that districts have to abide by collective bargaining agreements. The spokesman said most charters are not represented by a teachers union. In school districts, the charter school must go along with the teachers’ contract in the rest of the district. The legislation would allow authorization of a charter without the teachers’ contract. Charter schools could then choose whether or not to use the teachers’ contract.

A bipartisan pair of Michigan lawmakers have proposed a bill that would allow pharmacies across the state to redistribute prescription medication. Rep. Jim Ananich, D-Flint, and Rep. Joel Johnson, RClare, are sponsoring the legislation, which would give medical facilities the ability to give unused drugs to pharmacies around the state, should they choose to participate. The bill requires any donated drugs to have never left medical facilities and be constantly monitored. Any participating pharmacies would also be required to become disposal sites for unused drugs. “This legislation will give our communities another tool to reduce the crime and addiction that result from the misuse of prescription drugs,” Ananich said in a press release. “Working across party lines, we can help protect our kids and our environment.” The bill worries Jim Horton, pharmacist and owner of Downtown Drugs Soda Shoppe, 121 E. Broadway St. “I don’t like this,” Horton said. “I’ve seen bills like this in other states, and it scares me. It really scares me. Who’s going to be responsible for ensuring the drugs are safe?” According to the press release from Ananich’s office, 39 other states have programs similar to the one being proposed. The bill also ensures that all medical goods have been safely stored and trans-

ported. Sam Nunn, pharmacist for Mission Pharmacy, 926 S. Mission St., has similar feelings to Horton and said he would not participate in the proposed program. “It’s just a liability issue,” Nunn said. “I have no way of knowing for sure if the drugs are safe, and I’d be uncomfortable redistributing these drugs.” Both Horton and Nunn

are supporters of the portion of the bill that would require participating pharmacies to properly dispose of unused drugs. Both pharmacies participate in the Yellow Jug Old Drugs program, which collects and disposes of drugs. “Recycling is important to us, and making sure that our water supply is safe is a priority,” Nunn said. metro@cm-life.com

Hedge fund insider sentenced to 11 years By Tiffany Hsu and Nathaniel Popper Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Hedge fund magnate Raj Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years in prison — the longest sentence ever for an insider-trading case, prosecutors said. The Galleon Group founder was convicted in May on 14 counts of conspiracy and securities fraud

Jolliff said there were only 200 chairs in Powers and more were needed because of the large amount of people. “Everyone loves Sabin. Sometimes life gets so serious and (Sabin) brings such laughter to campus which is needed, because it is midterms week and everyone is stressed, so it’s a good opportunity to laugh and have fun,” Jolliff said. “They like the fact that they can come, and even though they may get picked on, it’s all fun.” The week’s last event will be a presentation by guest speaker and poet Andrea Gibson 7 p.m. today in Pearce Hall room 127. studentlife@cm-life.com

When asked by Holwell if he wanted to speak, Rajaratnam tersely refrained. Prosecutors relied on extensive electronic wiretaps to nab Rajaratnam, who was found guilty of making more than $50 million in illicit profits by acting on secrets from contacts at upper-echelon firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc., McKinsey & Co. and Google Inc.

tomer,” Peters said. “I told President Ross today, ‘Don’t hire me if you don’t want honesty.’” During the forum questionnaire time, Kennedy asked Peters what she would do to improve student retention. Peters said CMU needs concerted efforts and management to enhance retention. “You can get a lot more done when you collaborate and work together,” Peters said. “I know that sounds corny, but it doesn’t happen naturally; you need leadership to get it started.” Kennedy said she liked how Peters did not bounce around her question. Kevin Williams, associate di-

rector of admissions and minority enrollment, said he was impressed with her background. “She has experience in all of the areas that would be reporting to her,” Williams said. “I think she did great.” The other finalist for the new position is Steven Johnson, associate vice president for enrollment management at Howard University. Johnson’s open forum was Monday. Williams said Ross is likely to make his decision between the two in a month and hopes to have the new position filled by Jan. 1, 2012.

EPA awards $247,159 to biology dept. for beach, seagull research By Sarah Hood and Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporters

The Environmental Protection Agency awarded Central Michigan University $247,159 to create gull-free zones in Ottawa County beaches used for biology research. The department will lease border collies to keep the seagulls away. Biology Professor Elizabeth Alm said she hopes there will be an improvement in water quality for swimming. Currently, there are concerns about microorganisms carried by the seagulls that can cause disease or illness in humans. “It’s an issue in the eyes of both the public and the public health department,” Alm said. The grant was awarded through the EPA’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative program. The program will begin in May 2012 and will run for two years. “Dr. Alm and I have been interested in this topic for

many years,” said Biology Professor Thomas Gehring. The biology department applied for the competitive grant in March and was awarded funding in September. Whitecloud senior Dustin Jordan will conduct research on how bacteria levels are affected by removing the seagulls. “This project is fairly unique in that there isn’t much literature on the subject,” he said. “Dogs have been used in chasing geese off airport runways in the past, but this is a first... It’s pretty cool to be working on something so innovative.” Using dogs will provide not only a non-lethal method of clearing up the beaches, but also a more attractive means than using string or pyrotechnic flares, Alm said. “This is the most acceptable method to the public, less interfering,” she said.

The dogs will be considered working animals and will possibly have to wear jackets to identify them while they are working. There is no concern that the dogs will harm or kill the seagulls, Alm said. The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is part of a program set up by the Obama administration to deal with systemwide problems in the region, such as invasive species, habitat destruction and toxic pollution. Ten other recipients have received funding in Michigan as part of the grant, which was $4.7 million total. The proposals were selected based on a scientific review. “We are very excited,” Alm said. “We have been wanting to do this for a few years and we’re glad to have the money to get started.” university@cm-life.com

Peters said she sees enrollment as a service division and the customers are students, faculty and the community. She is a firm believer in access and quality of student enrollment, even if it is harder work, she said.

following a two-month trial. Many considered the conviction to be the heaviest clampdown on Wall Street bad behavior since Ivan Boesky went to prison for two years in the 1980s. Rajaratnam’s conduct “reflects a virus in our business culture that needs to be eradicated,” said U.S. District Judge Richard J. Holwell while handing down the sentence.

Meet Stephanie MMCC STUDENT. MAJOR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT.

At nine years old, Stephanie lost her mother to breast cancer. Two years later, her father died of cancer as well. “That was a dark time,” Stephanie remembers, “but I didn’t let it control me or make me quit on myself. I decided that I’d grow up and try to make a difference for other kids like I was—those who lost their parents and need some extra support.” Stephanie found a lot of support at MMCC. Due in part to help from MMCC employees, she received the largest private scholarship offered to community college transfer students and will receive up to $30,000 to finish her bachelor’s degree at CMU. Her degree will help her pursue a career in cancer research. Only three other students from Michigan have received this scholarship since its establishment in 2000. Only 60 awards were granted this year from 785 applications. Those are tough odds, But, then again, Stephanie’s had to face tough odds before. And Mid Michigan Community College has helped her get started.

High Hopes Chippewas aim to win third-straight against EMU

By Justin Hicks | Senior Reporter

entral Michigan has won five of its last six Homecoming games and looks to win its thirdstraight game against Eastern Michigan University Saturday. CMU is 55-28-1 in its Homecoming games and 55-27-6 against UP NEXT the Eagles all-time. “The fans come out and we CMU (2-4, 1-1 MAC) vs. love the energy,” said junior EMU (3-3, 1-1 MAC) Jahleel Addae. “We feed on their When: Saturday energy and they feed on ours. Time: 3 p.m. Where: Kelly/Shorts We need to come out and make Stadium some big plays.” The defensive back leads the team in tackles (56) and interceptions (3) and is tied for first with one forced fumble this season. Addae and the Chippewas defense have their hands full with an Eagles run game that averages 209 yards per game — third best in the Mid-American Conference. Running back Javonti Green leads the rushers, averaging 63.3 yards per game. “They’re a run-heavy team,” Addae said. “They have a good quarterback who can run the ball and can throw as well and they have good backs and receivers that get open and make plays for them.”

The Eagles quarterback, Alex Gillett, has thrown for 623 yards this season, completing almost 52 percent of his passes. The junior has thrown four touchdowns and five interceptions in an offense ranked 12th in the MAC in pass offense (106.5 yards per game). As a mobile option for EMU, Gillett averages 52.7 yards rushing, scoring twice. CMU came out on top of a 52-14 game last season in which quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for 254 yards and Cody Wilson caught

three passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. Radcliff is coming into the game looking to erase memories from his last two quarters of play in which he threw four interceptions in a 38-24 loss to North Carolina State. “(Radcliff ) forced the football in the second half, where in the first he made good decisions,” said head coach Dan Enos. “He threw 15-of-17 in the first half and we think he gives us the best chance

to win. We’ve got to run the ball and remain balanced.” Senior Paris Cotton has recorded back-to-back 100-yard performances on the ground this season. Under head coach Ron English, EMU is a perfect 4-0 when holding its opponents under 100 yards on the ground. “On film they’re a lot better team than last year,” Cotton said. “They want to stop the run and they’re a A HOPES | 5B

Austin White suspended indefinitely, no reason given Petrucci, Williams, sidelined in game against EMU By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

Central Michigan running back Austin White has been indefinitely suspended from the football team. White, a Michigan transfer, has been ineligible to play this season because of NCAA transfer rules. No further comments have been made by athletics officials. Aside from the suspension, two captains, linebacker Mike Petrucci and nose guard John Williams are sidelined with injuries. Head coach Dan Enos ruled Petrucci out for Saturday’s Homecoming game against Eastern Michigan and said he didn’t expect Williams to be able to take the field for the rest of the season, suffering

from a lingering knee injury. Enos spoke of the leadership of cornerback Taylor Bradley during the preseason, though a torn Achilles tendon has him side- John Williams lined for the season. While the injured role players will still act as leaders off the field, the Chippewas defense is in need of players who will step up and take control on the field. Jahleel Addae has done his part to pump up the defense with his big hits and energy at this point in the season. “(Addae) is a vocal guy; he’s real loud,” Petrucci said. “He plays loud too, he hits hard and it really gives us an energy boost, especially the secondary.” The junior leads the team with 56 tackles this season, adding three

interceptions and a forced fumble to his stat sheet. He said he hopes his high energy on the field is contagious for his teammates. “I like playMike Petrucci ing with energy and passion and I love the game,” Addae said. “I hope it spills over to my teammates. I would love the guys on the team to have the same juice and when they have juice it gives me juice.” Taking a leadership position on the field is a heavier responsibility for the upperclassmen, but Petrucci said the young guys have caught on quick. “It’s a little more stress on the older guys,” Petrucci said. “You’ve got to worry about where the younger guys are, but for the most part I think the younger guys have been

catching on pretty well. (Ryan) Petro and Cody Lopez have been doing great all year.” In five games, Lopez has recorded 25 tackles as a true freshman and Petro has added six. Other leaders on the defensive side of the ball include seniors John Carr and Armond Staten, and juniors Lorenzo White, Steven Winston and Joe Kinville. With nine first year players on the defensive depth chart this week, Enos expects to see the inevitable mistakes that freshmen make early on in their careers. That being said, CMU’s defense is 10th in the MAC in total defense and last in pass defense. “I think those guys have a lot of potential and a lot of ability,” Enos said. “It’s where they go from here that’s going to determine how they’ll compare to the other linebackers that have come out of here.” sports@cm-life.com

ne of the highlights of the fall semester is college football Saturdays. Wake up early and tailgate. Roommates go out eating and drinking with friends before heading into Kelly/Shorts Stadium for at least a half, hopefully. They have no worries about tests or class because it’s Saturday. Wait, that’s not normal here? It’s only happened once so far this year. After Saturday, that’s all over with for the year. Done. Finished. The 2011 season will have two more home games for CMU, both mid-week. It saddens me. When I stayed with friends for the Central Michigan/Michigan State game a few weeks ago, they knew how to do it. They had their Saturday morning tailgating scripted to a T. I was woken up against my will at about nine to a delicious, hearty breakfast. Eggs, bacon, French toast, anything your heart would desire. Then there’s obviously the typical drinking that begins before ten (don’t worry CM Life, I was busy getting ready to work, completely sober). Then you walk to the tailgates hours early to enjoy more food and festivities with friends. If you haven’t experienced that here, don’t worry, you’re probably not alone. How could you have a routine of something if it happens twice a year? Because of monetary reasons CMU is only playing two home Saturday football games this year. Two. That’s ridiculous. College football is made for Saturdays where the students, alumni, family and friends come together, relax and watch football. This year the only way that’s possible is if they’re getting in their cars and driving throughout the Midwest. CMU only has five home games this year. That’s because the Chippewas must go on the road during the non-conference schedule to make money for the entire athletics program. It stinks for students, players, fans and local businesses, but I understand why it has to be done. Somehow athletics has to make money to afford all the sports travel, equipment, coaching salaries and so on. But playing three of those five home games mid-week is silly. Mid-week games take away the college football experience for the students, players, fans, alumni and everyone involved. Tailgating is cut short or eliminated by classes, homework and studying when it’s on a Thursday. That’s if the students can even make it to the game. Everyone has to have those dreaded threehour night classes at some point before graduation. Guess why CMU is playing all these mid-week games. That’s right, once again, it’s money. The TV contract the MidAmerican Conference has with ESPN is forcing games away from Saturdays and moving them Thursday and Friday nights. That’s great for ESPN 2 and ESPNU to fill eventless nights with college football. But it takes the college football intensity and uniqueness away from schools like CMU. So please, don’t sleep in too late tomorrow. Don’t blow off the tailgate to just relax or because you’re hungover. Go out and enjoy it. It’s the last one of the year.

CMU soccer faces in-state rival WMU and NIU in first MAC West games By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

File photo by Libby March

Ontario junior Ashley Mejilla forces the ball out from between Bowling Green players on Oct. 9, 2011.

Soccer team needs to capitalize on scoring opportunities

The Central Michigan women’s soccer team defeated Western Michigan 3-1 in last season’s Mid-American Conference championship game. At 4 p.m. today they meet again in Kalamazoo for the first time since that match. “Any time you knock somebody out when a championship is on the line, its going to fuel a team,” head coach Neil Stafford said. “I’m sure they will be looking for revenge.” The in-state showdown with the Broncos is one of two games this weekend. CMU plays Northern Illinois at 1 p.m. on Sunday in CMU’s first two games against MAC West division opponents this season.

“You always want to do well in your own division,” Stafford said. The last four regular season meetings between the Chippewas and Broncos have all been 1-0 games, three of them being won by the Chippewas. “Western is a good team,” senior defender Liesel Toth said. “It’s going to be fun and it’s definitely going to be a battle.” The Broncos feature a dangerous offensive attack led by reigning MAC Offensive Player of the Year, Stephanie Skowneski. The senior has six goals and seven assists and leads the conference in points. She is joined by junior forward Anina Cicerone who is tied for second in the conference with seven goals. “We’re just going to focus

on our game plan,” Stafford said. “But you always have to pay special attention to players who are doing well, but at the same time if you get too focused on one person, someone else will get you.” The Chippewas play Northern Illinois in Dekalb, Ill. on Sunday. NIU is led by sophomore forward Frances Boukidis who has two goals and three assists on the year. The Huskies have struggled this season and have recorded only two wins, but CMU isn’t overlooking them. “Any team in the MAC can beat you,” Stafford said. “NIU is not an easy place to play. They have a difficult surface and they’re a capable team, so we will be ready for them.” sports@cm-life.com

ports are a game of what-ifs — especially on the losing side. What if the team didn’t cough up the ball in its zone? What if it didn’t foul on that play? What if it took advantage of its scoring opportunities? But after the game, there is nothing that can be done to change the outcome. The women’s soccer team has not had to dwell on many what-ifs so far this season — at least not yet. CMU has jumped out to a 10-1-3 start, including impressive non-conference wins against Wisconsin, Louisville and Pittsburgh. But of the Chippewas 10 wins, five have been by one goal. Not saying this is an alarming statistic, considering that soccer is a relatively

low-scoring game, but with the dominant performances it has displayed this season, CMU should be winning games by a larger margin. The team statistics through the first 14 games have been mind-boggling. It has outshot its opponents 216-136, while holding an advantage in corner kicks, 90-38. CMU fired 16 shots in the first half against Bowling Green Sunday, but could only muster one goal. It was able to sustain pressure in the offensive zone throughout the half, but could not capitalize on scoring chances. On Friday, the Chippewas ringed two shots off the crossbar and squandered multiple other opportunities to build their lead. With only five games remaining before the Mid-American Conference tournament, CMU needs to concentrate on making the most of its chances. I do not want CMU to look back at a game in the MAC or NCAA tournament and say, what if we could have buried just one or two more scoring opportunities? Don’t get me

wrong, the Chippewas are an exciting team to watch. They are quick, disciplined, possess strong ball movement and are once again one of the top teams in the MAC. But come tournament time, teams tend to elevate their game to the next level. It will only get harder to score from here on out. Even if CMU outplays its opponent, in the playoffs, anything can happen. Offensively, CMU needs a player to step up and be that primary goal scorer to carry the team. I’m not calling for the offense to revolve around one player, but I want to see that player take advantage of the opportunities. Right now, no player has more than three goals, but 11 different players have scored this season – which is a tribute to CMU’s depth. This is what makes them so dynamic. The opposition cannot target just one player, which opens up more scoring chances for everyone. However, the question is: Who will be the one to capitalize most effectively?

By Adam Niemi Staff Reporter

The first of the ‘bigger races’ as assistant coach Matt Kaczor described earlier in the season, has arrived. To help the Central Michigan women’s cross-country team run better in the Pre-Nationals race Sunday, Kaczor tried a new approach. For five minutes, Kaczor played music and told them to lay on the track with their eyes closed and visualize themselves running well. The practice and preparations are aimed for the the PreNational race at 11:40 a.m. on Sunday in Terra Haute, Ind. The Chippewas enter the weekend ranked No. 9 in the Great Lakes Region of the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association polls. They are unranked in the USTFCCCA national poll. Kaczor said he is looking for junior Maddie Ribant and sophomore Krista Parks to lead CMU. “I’d like to see how they do,” Kaczor said. “I’d really like to see

them put it together this weekend. I believe they can.” Junior runner Charnele Lyons, who was redshirted last year, ran in the Pre-Nationals two years ago in her sophomore year of eligibility. She said the team is poised to run well in the race. “We just really need a fifth runner and we have a couple girls that have the potential to do really, really well,” Lyons said.

er, it’s such a good feeling. It feels like nothing can bring us down.” The men’s and women’s teams were pulled out of the Michigan Intercollegiate Championships to rest for this weekend. “We were just trying to keep everyone healthy and get ourselves ready for Pre-Nationals,” Kaczor said. sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball to play with full team roster this weekend

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan volleyball team looks to hit its stride this week with all players back in the lineup. The team travels to face Bowling Green and Miami (OH), a pair of Mid-American Conference East opponents. “We’ve got some girls back coming off of injuries and we’re playing to be us,” said sophomore libero Jenna Coates. “Going out there and being us is our main focus.” CMU has faced three injuries to senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz, junior outside hitter Val DeWeerd and junior right side hitter Jocelyn VerVelde. “We’ve only been coaching this group for four weeks,” said head coach Erik Olson. “We’re getting better and we know we haven’t peaked yet.” The Falcons are playing for more than just a MAC Championship this season. “Bowling Green is playing for their coach (Denise Van De Walle), who is retiring after this season,” Coates said. “They’re playing hard ball and putting up a fight.” The MAC East division brings on a new challenge for CMU because it’s used to the fast offense in the MAC West. The East division tends to run slower offenses and Olson said slower doesn’t necessarily mean worse. “They do some weird things and I think it’s just to throw off defenses by creating chaos and confusion,” Olson said. “They play hard and run a slower offense.” MIAMI The Chippewas get the RedHawks on Saturday. “Miami always seems to play together as a team,” Olson said. “They pass much better than last season.” The Chippewas haven’t seen

a MAC-East team this year and Bowling Green and Miami are .500 in conference play. CMU sits fifth of six in the MAC West division and can’t afford to lose ground, Coates said. “These games are pretty big,” Coates said. “They are both in the East and we just have to take these two.” This week marks the first time the Chippewas hit the road since their five-week road trip that ended two weeks ago. “It doesn’t really bother us,” Coates said. “It’s nice being at home, but as long as we stay together and positive, we’ll be fine.”

Central Michigan isn’t expecting the same-old Eastern Michigan football team this weekend. Central Michigan has averaged 51 points per game against EMU the past four seasons, but the Eagles have improved. They have the fifthbest scoring defense in the Mid-American Conference and that’s with Michigan and Penn State on the schedule. “They’re much imp r ov e d from last y e a r , ” said CMU quarterback Ryan Ryan Radcliff Radcliff. “You know you’re going to get a good game Saturday.” Radcliff thinks EMU’s defense will provide a tougher test than last year. “They got a couple of really big safeties,” Radcliff said. “Their cornerbacks are quick and skilled. Up front they have a lot of guys that go hard. The EMU defensive front had no answer for CMU running back Paris Cotton last season when he rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns.

tin Cudworth leads EMU’s defense. He has a team-high 48 tackles and two forced fumbles. EMU quarterback Alex Gillett has rushed for 316 yards and two touchdowns while passing for 623 yards and four touchdowns. He looks to improve from last year’s loss, despite passing 12-for-20 for 148 yards and a touchdown. However, Gillett is prone to turnovers, throwing five interceptions this season. CMU safety Jahleel Addae is tied for the MAC lead with three interceptions and said he anticipates a lot of running. With EMU having four rushers with more than 230 yards on the ground this season, that isn’t far off. The team has also attempted more than twice as many

rushing attempts as passes. “We pride ourselves in t o u g h n e s s ,” Addae said. “We have to line up right Dan Enos and then hit them in the mouth when the ball comes.” It doesn’t look like CMU is preparing for another blowout. Enos sees a dangerous team coming in at 3 p.m. on Saturday in Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “They’re a very good team in our conference,” Enos said. “They’re going to play well and they’re going to beat people in the conference.” sports@cm-life.com

lot more athletic — a lot more physical.” Enos said he liked what he saw this week at practice from Cotton and freshman Anthony Garland and expects them to take the bulk of the carries this week. “They compliment each other very well and they’re not the same kind of backs,” Enos said. “When you have two guys like that, that’s a real positive.” On defense, the Chippewas will be without linebacker Mike Petrucci, defensive linemen John Williams and Leterrius Walton, who are

sidelined by injuries. Enos expects Williams to be out for the season, though he anticipates the injured Cody Lopez and Alex Smith to be back in the lineup at linebacker. Getting the added depth back on defense will help a Chippewas team sitting at 1-1 in the MAC heading into sixstraight conference games to close out the season. “It’s nice to get those nonconference games out of the way,” Enos said. “We have a six-game season and they all mean a lot. It starts this weekend with Eastern Michigan and it’s good to have our focus on the conference right now.” sports@cm-life.com

Hoke takes hit for U-M’s loss to MSU in 2001 By Mark Snyder Detroit Free Press

The game was 10 years ago, but Michigan coach Brady Hoke remembers it well. Michigan’s 26-24 loss at Spartan Stadium in 2001 is legendary because of the debated final second that allowed Michigan State to throw the winning touchdown pass, but a number of other Michigan problems allowed the Spartans to be in position to win. Michigan was penalized for having 12 men on the

field on one late play, and Michigan defensive back Jeremy LeSueur was flagged for a crucial facemask penalty. Hoke, the defensive line coach on Michigan’s staff back then, was asked during his weekly appearance on WXYT-FM (97.1) on Thursday which of the three was the biggest reason for Michigan’s loss — the timekeeper or one of the penalties. “Too many men on the field,” he said. “That was my fault. I was in charge of defensive substitution, and I did a poor job. I let that team

down. … Kids are just out there trying to play as hard as they can and do what you ask them to do from a standpoint of whatever we were doing defensively. Coaches shouldn’t make those mistakes.” Hoke also touched on other topics: On being able to stop MSU’s running game Saturday: “We’re going to find out. This game has always been physical. The fronts, at the every game, that’s where you find out. Your offensive front, your defensive front, the team that’s had the most

rushing yards the past 41 years, 38 times have won the football game. So it’s always a game where they’re going to line up and knock us off the ball and we’re going to try to do the same thing. We’ve got to respond and punch back.” On Michigan State’s fans’ passion: “This is two great institutions and a rivalry that’s a lot of fun for everybody. The passion, I’m sure (cohost) Sara’s passionate about Michigan State and we’ve got a lot of passionate people about the University of Michigan.”

HOROSCOPES

Falling Rock National Park

(MCT) Today’s Birthday (10/14/11). Find a new way to have fun with your body in motion (or rediscover a previous practice). Physical activity this year sustains your health and vitality, your most precious assets. Work out your frustrations. This time pays rich dividends. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) – Today is an 8 – There’s a break in the dam, but you have all the tools necessary to repair the damage and even create something positive from the flood. Get all the help you can. Taurus (April 20-May 20) – Today is a 9 – Others find themselves attracted to your game. Take advantage of developing

confidence to complete stagnant projects. There are new cards that can be played now. Gemini (May 21-June 21) – Today is a 7 – Don’t follow your usual train of thought, or you’ll find the same old limitations. Ride a new train, slow or high-speed, to discover a new destination. Cancer (June 22-July 22) – Today is a 7 – Disruptions at home could cause havoc at work. Friends are there to support you with extra loving. Cuddle up and listen. Your view isn’t the only one. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – Today is an 8 – A female shows you a missing puzzle piece. Don’t gamble (except in love). Keep spending under control, and don’t touch your savings. Do without one thing to gain another. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Today is an 8 –

You’re smarter than usual for the next three weeks. Prioritize your obligations for best performance. Today’s not necessarily great for romance, so entertain your intellect. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Today is a 6 – Avoid unnecessary arguments, even as you teach others to appreciate your perspective. Give yourself permission for some privacy. Access silence for real peace. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Today is an 8 – You’re more industrious than before. There’s an impulse to hurry, but there’s no need for it. It’s better to be methodical now and secure a job well done. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Today is a 7 – Distractions abound. You may need to regroup and redefine your goals. Don’t give up. The difficult part is just about over. Keep

your eye on the mark. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Today is a 5 – Take it slow today for healthiest results. Someone nearby may have a virus. You avoid mistakes with a slower pace, too. Leave travel and risks for another day. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – Today is a 7 – Keeping your long-term goals in mind, conserve resources to get there with the least expense. Make sure what you’re building is solid. Love’s extra sweet when money flows. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Today is a 7 – You may feel very aware of limitations. Discipline and persistence wear them down. Smile and answer truthfully. Don’t get intimidated, and it will soon pass. Your cool pays off.
