Larry Klaus was ready for the big game.

As he gazed across the parking lots outside Central Michigan University’s athletic complex, the CMU police lieutenant was prepared to lead his team through enormous crowds at the university’s biggest event of the year.

Saturday’s homecoming football game drew thousands of people to Kelly/Shorts Stadium, and police were tasked with keeping attendees safe amid the mass of tailgating parties.

While the festivities remained relatively ordered, that serenity required deep cooperation from 22 officers of Mount Pleasant’s five local police departments.

Initially patrolling the lots to the south of the stadium, Klaus said the area usually holds up to 6,000 people.

He said the most common citations were minors in possession of alcohol.

Before heading into the crowds, Klaus surveyed the scene to identify certain areas dense with activity.

“When we get hot spots where people might start throwing projectiles, we move in,” he said. “Bottles are not permitted, but it’s impossible to police.

Clowns, zombies, princesses and dancers wandered their way from campus to downtown Mount Pleasant on Saturday as part of the annual Homecoming Parade.

Led by police cars and ambulances, the parade began at Lot 22 on west campus and made its way through Main Street before ending downtown.

Hundreds of people, many of whom were Central Michigan University students and alumni, partied and cheered as the paraders and floats went by.

One of those students was Macomb senior Robert Kirchhoff, who was enthusiastic about the event.

“I’m pretty impressed by all of this,” Kirchhoff said. “It’s really cold out, but a lot of alumni showed up, so it’s pretty exciting.”

In addition to children, there were many Mount Pleasant residents in attendance.

Rozi Saunders has lived in Mount Pleasant for most of her life and has been coming to the Homecoming Parade since 1963.

“I’m having a wonderful time today,” Saunders said. “I would like to see more floats, like they used to have.”

Many Mount Pleasant businesses and various CMU groups were featured.

Ortonville junior Pat Wivo, the president of Theta Pi Iota, said his fraternity was excited and grateful to participate in the parade.

“We are very excited to contribute to the tradition,” Wivo said. “This is our third year in a row, and we have a good time.” metro@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University students rowed across Rose Ponds in handmade boats to compete in the 16th annual Cardboard Boat Race Saturday.

The homecoming tradition included engineering students in the first six heats and opened the competition up to anyone interested in the last heat.

“We focused on building a sturdy and steady boat, not fast, so we stayed up on the water,” Sterling Heights freshman Marcellus Spinks said.

Spinks’ boat, ‘Miracle Workers,’ won first place in the first heat.

Spanish Writing Center open, GAs ready to help students “Being extremely fluent in the language allows us to help students greatly with their writing skills.”

PHOTO OF THE DAY

By Kelsey Smith Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students enrolled in Spanish classes now have an extra service available to them.

The new Spanish writing center, located in 323 Pearce Hall, opened to students in late September.

Run by graduate assistants, the center aims at assisting students with any issues they have in their classes.

“This center is designed to help students improve their interpreting and writing in the Spanish language,” said graduate assistant Alejandro Vales, who helped create the center.

The center’s hours vary throughout the week, but one-on-one appointments can be easily scheduled through the graduate assistants.

“I am from Spain, and we are the first graduate assistants from a foreign country,” Vales said. “I think that gives us an advantage and great opportunity for the students to learn from. Being extremely fluent in the language allows us to help students greatly with their writing skills.”

The GAs aim to encourage students to study Spanish as a second language.

They want to give students an interactive way to learn material outside the classroom.

“We really want them to learn Spanish as a second language as best as they can, especially when it can be very hard,” Vales said.

In addition to helping

“Besides helping students, we are also doing something very cool for ourselves,” Vales said. “We are actually doing research and writing a paper based off of our experiences working with the Spanish students. We are focusing mainly on how students learn and what techniques work best for them. We are also using a variety of linguistic aspects when it comes to helping the students.”

Midland junior Katie Hall walked out of the center with a look of relief on her face. She said she was glad she went because of the help she received.

“The Spanish writing center is very helpful for my writing,” Hall said. “I went because my teacher assigned us to use the center, but I’m glad I went, it helped me out a lot.” university@cm-life.com

Automation Alley, Michigan’s largest technology business association, has named Central Michigan University’s New Venture Competition Program the educational program of the year.

More than 200 aspiring entrepreneurs from CMU and Michigan Technological University have participated in the competition over the past three years.

Debra Zellner, the director of the Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship, said she was thrilled that the NVC received the award.

“This competition is positioned to build the entrepreneurial network across Michigan and enables student entrepreneurs to be directly linked and exposed to the entrepreneurial system,” Zellner said.

The competition awards students $65,000 in start-up capital, as well as awards for other categories such as best overall venture, best social venture, best technology venture, biggest impact on Michigan, highest growth potential and the spirit of entrepreneurship.

Fifteen businesses exist as a result of the competition, according to Automation Alley.

“We are quite proud of Debra Zellner and the entire Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship staff,” said Dean of the College of Business Charles Crespy. “The

award is a strong affirmation of our efforts to provide two distinct career paths: To train students for careers in the private sector and enable would-be entrepreneurs.” university@cm-life.com

Crossing oceans of sound

College Abacus: Lifting the veil off the true costs of college Sun took her music career WASHINGTON _ A new across the globe, is now a online app called College Abacus is making it easier for professor at CMU students and their families to get estimates in advance of how much financial aid colleges and universities will give so that they can compare schools for costs.

Until about two years ago, financial aid was a mystery until a student got a college acceptance letter and a financial aid package. Change began in 2011, when the federal government required schools to offer online net price calculators, which compute a school’s full cost of attendance, minus estimated scholarships, based on family income and other information that individuals enter.

College Abacus is a free, onestop shop. It taps the net price calculators at three schools a student selects. Then, based on personal information entered once into College Abacus, the site retrieves the estimates.

More schools can be entered, three at a time.

The federal government’s College Navigator website offers a rougher estimate. For each school, it will give estimated net prices for several income levels.

“Even if the government has stopped working, parents still need to find financial aid for their students to go to college,” said College Abacus co-founder Abigail Seldin.

And finding out in advance which schools are likely to be affordable can bring peace to households in the spring, when most full-time students get their college decisions, Seldin said. It also can help reduce student debt.

Referring to a popular travel accommodations search engine, Seldin calls College Abacus the kayak.com of net price calculators.

Sober in October hosts ‘I know what you did last night’ Each year during the month of October, residence hall assembly funds various programs as part of ‘Sober in October’ to promote and encourage responsible and safe behavior.

One such program, titled “I Know What You Did Last Night,” is being hosted by the Kesseler Hall Council, it will take place at 8 p.m. today in the Kesseler second-floor study lounge.

The program will offer students the opportunity to work in groups to piece together a story based on scenarios they will be given.

In addition, the movie “HAZE” will be shown. Pizza and fall refreshments will be provided.

The program might be a shocker for some participants, but for Grand Rapids senior Alyson Cole, it’s a chance to learn about the dangers of alcohol.

“One part of ‘I Know What You Did Last Night’ is the viewing of the movie HAZE, which is about a college student who was left to ‘sleep it off’ after being heavily intoxicated and ended up passing away in his sleep,” Cole said.

uest Lecturer of Violin Fangye Sun made her life’s passion her work when she and five others were appointed to the Central Michigan University College of Music this semester.

“Music just seemed very natural to pick up for me,” Sun said. “I fell in love with it.”

Aside from teaching violin in both her home country, China, and in the United States, Sun has collaborated with a number of celebrated orchestras, including the Michigan State University Symphony, the National Repertory Orchestra and the Jiao Tong University Symphony.

Sun said live performances are some of the most rewarding parts of being a musician, but her real passion is teaching music to others.

After joining the Grand Rapids Symphony in 2011 and performing with them for two years, she decided to switch gears and began looking for academic work. After interviewing with several Michigan colleges, she was hired to the CMU College of Music.

SGA Sens. address understaffing in Student Disability Services

By Malachi Barrett Staff Reporter

Student Government Association senators are working toward a proposal that would add 14 new positions to Student Disability Services to combat staffing problems within the administration.

“We’ve gotten so much support from so many people,” said Mount Pleasant senior and SGA Sen. Michaela Mack.

“I feel like every day, more and more people from SGA are joining on.”

Mack and her roommate, Mount Pleasant senior and SGA Sen. Carrie Cloutier, are leading the charge to put more workers in the Student Disabilities Services office to serve two functions.

The first is an advocacy group that

can intervene on the student’s behalf to professors and other faculty when the student is experiencing problems.

The second group would be a peer-to-peer support group made up of volunteer students, as well as other students with disabilities. Their role would be to provide mentoring, support and monitoring how a student is able to manage their disability throughout the year.

“Even with 14 more positions brought in, that’s a ratio of 17 staff to 703 students with disabilities,” Mack said. “So that’s around 41 students per administrator. Grand Valley State University is 17 to one, so while we’re still not great, it’s better.”

GVSU served as a model for the sena-

tors, as it offers some of the best student disability services of schools relative in size to CMU, according to Cloutier.

The main problem separating GVSU from CMU is the size of the disabled student population. While GVSU only has to contend with around 100 students, CMU has slightly more than 700.

“On average, the number of students with disabilities grows between 13 and 20 percent,” said Student Disability Services Director Susie Rood. “Last semester, we had 613. This went up about 100 students, and our numbers keep increasing year to year.”

Mack said SDS is fully on-board with their resolution, and has cooperated to get the staffing they need.

“If we had more staff and more space

could we do more things? Yes,” Rood said. “Could we be more responsive and more proactive? Yes. Right now we are addressing whatever we can.”

Cloutier, who is dyslexic, conceived the project after experiencing some of the challenges students with disabilities face at CMU firsthand. She and Mack are researching and building their case with help from other members of the SGA. Mack and Cloutier are still in the early stages, looking to gather enough information to make a strong argument. They said the next step is to send out surveys through SDS to asses the extent of student dissatisfaction. university@cm-life.com

Free speech wall serves as an outlet for expression

By Amanda Brancecum Staff Reporter

The University Libertarians collaborated with Young Americans for Liberty to give students an outlet for expression in the form of a free speech wall on Friday.

Besides students, faculty and alumni walking near the Bovee University Center also wrote on the wall.

“There are a lot of things that will be put on the wall that I might not agree with, but that’s the whole point of freedom of speech,” said Troy junior Christian Conley, University Libertarians vice president.

“You can say or write whatever you want in this country, because it is a liberty that’s afforded to you.”

A free speech wall is one of many

activism projects the University Libertarians have planned throughout the year.

Conley said the wall was one of several ideas suggested by the Young Americans for Liberty, the RSO’s national partner, to use as an activism project.

“We are just trying to draw attention to the First Amendment and individual rights as a whole,” said University Libertarians President Ty Hicks, a Jackson sophomore.

Some students wrote down their thoughts on politics, while others wrote whatever was on their mind at the time. Illinois sophomore Meredith Fruhauf took to the wall to relieve some stress in the wake of midterms.

“I wrote, ‘Failing is not always failure,’ because a lot of people are

stressed out, especially with it being homecoming week,” Fruhauf said.

University Libertarians is a local chapter at Central Michigan University. The chapter works closely with its national partner Young Ameri-

cans for Liberty.

“We have a very collaborative relationship because our ideals line up,” Hicks said. studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Pressing university concerns unanswered

n a lot of ways, Central Michigan University President George Ross’ State of the University address last week was structured like a U.S. president’s State of the Union speech usually is.

It was a fluffy speech, designed to reassure the audience that things aren’t as bad as they might seem. But anyone who watched the speech looking for a bold vision of where CMU is heading in the wake of an enrollment crisis was left sorely disappointed. And yes, it is a crisis, despite what Ross said in his speech.

Ross had a grand opportunity to rally the university behind a strategy that specifically confronts the enrollment and budget issues head-on, but he botched the opportunity, failing to provide specificity on any of the very real issues facing CMU this year.

Within the first few minutes of the speech, Ross had already mentioned the newly-planned Biosci-

ences building and CMU’s crown jewel, the College of Medicine.

Instead of speaking directly to the concerns of his constituents, he made the decision to tout some of the university’s largest expenditures (including a particularly expensive “living wall” addition to the Biosciences building).

Then came the boldest statement of the afternoon.

“I honestly believe that our enrollment challenge has made our campus more cohesive and energized than it’s been in a long time,” he said to the full auditorium.

It’s one thing to recognize a problem, but it’s another to try to spin it into positivity. While Ross recognized some issues, he didn’t speak much on clearcut solutions

Detroit is a bankrupt has-been whose only dealings nowadays are in violence and job loss.

If you are particularly in tune with most mainstream media and popular opinion, you might find yourself nodding your head right now.

Who can blame you? When’s the last time you read a national headline saying something nice about the city?

It’s only news if it bleeds, and if people didn’t know any better, they might think Detroit has been dead since Kwame Kilpatrick kicked it a few years back. Then, coverage of the whole Big Three bailout fiasco reminded America that the city was still in poor shape and falling further from its former glory. The situation stagnated until reaching an inevitable, history-making outcome.

“The Motor City Goes Bust,” as USA Today bluntly printed it. Or, “Out of Money, Detroit Calls it Quits,” the Los Angeles Times gracefully announced.

I was in San Francisco wearing a “Made in Detroit” shirt the day it happened. Almost everybody I walked by muttered a comment or made a sneer that said it all.

“I’m sorry about that,” an older lady said to me. It took me a second to understand.

“I’m sorry you were made in Detroit,” she finally said unapologetically, half laughing.

I was so dumbfounded by the words of this total stranger that all I could do was offer a few seconds of insincere laughter. The several other off-beat interactions with strangers, however, helped me shape a stronger rebuttal.

“Have you ever been?” I asked of the people eager to take blows at the city they became experts on by studying headlines. Nearly everyone answered no.

That’s when I realized the problem was less about the decay of Detroit and more about the decay of informed opinion. When I talk to someone who has never been to Detroit, they usually follow with something like: “I’d rather not get mugged or attacked.”

I have developed a theory that people who have never visited the city “because they are scared of it” are actually scared they will like it.

They are scared of being wrong and worried Detroit might no longer be fit to serve as their target of sarcasm and ignorant humor.

I won’t feign expertise about every aspect of Detroit, but throughout the four years I went to high school in the city, I never heard a single gunshot.

Each year when the world’s largest free jazz festival rolls into town, all I hear is beautiful music.

All I witness is a diverse audience appreciating it.

I have lived to tell the tale of my enriching experience with the city. I suppose I owe myself a congratulations for defying a set of odds fabricated by the uninformed outspoken among us.

People get violent and unruly for no reason, no matter the venue — it’s not just Detroit.

In closing, I’ll share with you an age-old lesson I reteach myself everyday: Don’t believe everything you hear.

and planning for the future.

He simply said that planning and the budget needed collective restructuring – an obvious answer to a more complicated problem.

Ross played two video presentations, quoted former university presidents, called CMU a “firstchoice university,” and referenced John F. Kennedy.

He even established a twopronged “solution” toward the end of the speech: Student support and bold-decision making.

However, after the speech, it’s still unclear what exactly Ross plans to do. Although the hourlong address spoke to several issues impacting campus, specifics were a scarcity.

Make no mistake, Ross is wellintentioned, probably working hard behind the scenes, but his address left us wanting more. It left many of those who watched struggling to see what kind of future Ross envisions for CMU. It sends the message that the president, ultimately, is unsure of what to do next.

What does your desk do?

We cover all the cops, courts and community issues that arise surrounding CMU students.

What was the first story you covered for CM Life?

It was concerning President Ross, but it was when he was president at Alcorn State. It was about the variance of accents from students in the south who used CMU facilities.

If a movie was made of your life, what genre would it be and who would play you?

It would be academy awardwinning, and I would be played by Clint Eastwood in his prime.

What’s the best part about working at CM Life?

Pam’s cooking. It gets me up in the morning.

If you had to eat at one restaurant for the rest of your life, where would it be?

Red Robin. It’s the home of the best burger in the world, the Royal Red Robin Burger.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I can’t swallow pills; I have to deal with headaches on my own.

This ‘black and white’ lifestyle isn’t satisfying I read a quotation recently that really spoke to me.

Some would say it was sappy, a “motivational” motif that people enjoy reading but never take to heart.

When I read this, something switched on inside me. It was like a lightbulb came on. I had an “ah-ha!” moment, if you will.

As humans, we revel in security, conformity and the safety of a monotonous tomorrow.

But let’s face it. This black and white lifestyle isn’t satisfying.

When I think back on the things that have satisfied me most in my life, I think of the times I took risks.

When I did something for myself.

And when, despite the potential criticism, I went for what it was I desired anyway.

So many of us remain stagnant in our unhappy circumstances. But if we aren’t happy in these circumstances, why don’t we change them?

This is a simple concept, yes, but

it can also be a simple action.

If you hate your job, look for something else. Something new will come. If your roommate is a negative, self-wallowing pessimist, cut the ties. You will meet others; people who will make you a better person, and people who will lift you up, not make you doubt yourself.

I’m not telling you to quit the only job you have that pays the rent.

Hell, if you don’t care enough to find something better, I’m not even asking you to consider finding something new.

You might be lonely for a while.

But being alone is better than being in bad company.

At the very least, it’s something to think about.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, but I also believe that it is up to us to take action.

Now is the time to make things happen. Now is the time to do something extraordinary, to march

Samantha Smallish

Student Life Editor boldly in the direction of where you want to be.

An excerpt from said quotation goes like this: “The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

Life is too short to be anything but happy. And it all starts with you.

Stop the bad habits, remove yourself from the things that make you sad and start involving yourself in the things that give you pride, that lift your spirits and make you hold your head high.

It won’t be easy. Change is hard and it’s scary. But it’s also well worth the risk.

5K supported Special Olympics Michigan

By Natalie Town Staff Reporter

Participants in the Homecoming 5K Run line up Saturday before the race begins on South Franklin Street.

PARADE | CONTINUED FROM 1A

According to Klaus, CMUPD averages six to 12 MIP citations per game. He explained that while officers do not actively demand patron identification, they often must act on obvious violations.

“If you look like you’re 12 and are drinking a beer, we’ll check you,” Klaus said. “We’re not actively looking for it.”

1:50 P.M.

Moving into the tailgating area of Kelly/Shorts’ southern parking lots, Klaus compared CMU’s atmosphere as more concentrated than at larger universities.

CMU recently got rid of the roped-off area designating the tailgating spots. Klaus said behavior has improved since the area was opened up.

“It’s different here,” he said.

“You get bigger groups in smaller areas. It’s more spread out at MSU. The behavior has been a little better, since there’s been more intermingling with the families. We get a ton of alumni, and they behave for the most part.”

2 P.M.

As he approached the tailgaters, Klaus was greeted by a woman who thanked him for his work. Making his way to the grass parkways at the back of the lot, Klaus peered down the aisles of RV’s watching out for any disorderly behavior.

“A lot of alums bring their big rigs to tailgate,” he said.

In his third year supervising the homecoming parties, Klaus was wary about attendees going too far and becoming dangerously intoxicated.

“We’ll deal occasionally with someone who’s over-consumed,” Klaus said.

“Sometimes we have to get a medical transport. We look out for fighting, people throwing projectiles and MIPs.”

2:15 P.M.

After his first pass through the student parties, Klaus headed up to CMUPD’s inci-

dent command center near the stadium’s press box on the west side of the stadium.

Greeted by CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley and Ferris State’s Director of Public Safety Bruce Borkovich, Klaus was able to observe the field through the large windows on the top floor of the athletic complex.

“The time and the organization an event like this takes is tremendous,” Borkovich said.

“Most people don’t know how much work goes into this. The whole university really has to come together. Everything is surprisingly safe and orderly for the amount of people.”

Yeagley reported just one MIP, medical incident and drug charge since the festivities began.

“The whole idea is it takes down the activity,” Klaus said about turning off the music.

“We get the music down and make assignments from there.”

2:55 P.M.

Officers locate an unconscious woman underneath a truck. They quickly call an ambulance and lift her to safety.

To get the victim out of the crowds, officers were tasked with negotiating the surges of people.

“We’re going to part the waters and get that person out,” Klaus said. “That girl needs a medical response. She’s down in between two trucks. This push is going to be a long one.”

2:59 P.M.

As kickoff was imminent, officers began sternly shutting down the parties after the girl was safely en route to the hospital. Estimating crowd control would continue outside until halftime, officers set to work pouring out beers and urging attendees toward the field.

The crowd was slow to respond.

2:20 P.M.

Inside CMUPD’s surveillance room on the top floor of the complex was Captain Fred Harris and two 32-inch plasma screen TVs, recording from more than 20 cameras around the stadium.

Officers can also view the field through a large glass window above their screens.

“We’ve got a very good vantage point up here,” Harris said. One thing we don’t watch is the game. We can get things reported pretty quickly up here.”

Harris said his four medical teams, comprising paramedics and law enforcement officers, respond mostly to patrons who are “over-intoxicated” or acting disorderly.

He said most officers are assigned to the student-populated southern lots, and that most cases there are drinkingrelated.

3:10 P.M.

Approaching some seasoned partiers intent on finishing their last drinks despite police orders, Klaus was intent on re-directing foot traffic to the north.

“You get more crap from the old folks than you do the young ones,” he said.

4 P.M.

CMU police moved into the stadium to police the crowds packing the bleachers to witness the game. Klaus and a small team of officers stayed in the lots to make sure the job was done.

“It can look overwhelming,” he said. “It takes a minute to get rolling. We moved more people today than usual. This went pretty well — people mostly moved when we told them. We’re here to keep the peace. We try to convince people to go in and watch.”

2:50 P.M.

After several officers convened on a back parkway with Klaus, they prepared to begin their “push.” Officers walked through the parking aisles, asking attendees to pour out their drinks and either leave or enter the stadium.

Cutting the music from large speakers, officers waited to see if partiers got the message.

Central Michigan University kicked off its weekend homecoming festivities with the annual Special Olympics 5K run.

The Special Olympics 5K has been a fundraiser for more than 40 years, said Manager of Marketing at Special Olympics Michigan at CMU Erin Dougherty. The event is important in raising awareness and spreading the word of Special Olympics Michigan and its relationship with the university.

“It is a great way to raise awareness for Special Olympics and to let people know we are on campus,” Dougherty said.

A few hundred people were in attendance Saturday morning at Finch Fieldhouse and the surrounding area, where eager runners, supporters and volunteers anxiously waited for the run to begin.

Runners took a few moments to stretch and warm up in preparation for the 3.1 miles around CMU’s campus. The runners

then pinned on their registration numbers and discussed why the Special Olympics 5K is so important to them.

“It goes to a good cause, it is nice to see all the support from CMU and the community because we host it,” said Sterling Heights junior Sasha Rudow.

Club Running at CMU participates in several 5Ks throughout the fall season, however, those that support good causes are the ones they enjoy most.

“I have a lot more fun with 5Ks for a good cause,” Rudow said.

Louisiana junior Danielle McDermott was running the 5K for her third time.

“I love the people, because everyone is so happy and supportive, even if you run it in three hours,” she said.

Those who participated in the run were encouraged to raise money for more than 20,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities in Michigan.

BOAT RACE | CONTINUED FROM 1A

In each heat it was common to see at least one boat take water and sink. Many teams who sank in last year’s race came back this year to recover their reputation.

“We want to prove our professors wrong,” Monroe junior Bryan Wallace said. “They’re all here watching us. We sank last year, so they’re just waiting for us to sink again.”

Last year’s sinking gave way to their unofficial team name

this year: ‘We Did the Math This Time.’

“We did the calculations for buoyancy multiple, multiple times,” said Wallace’s teammate, St. Johns senior Caleb Bancroft.

Once in the boat, Bancroft relied on his teammates to make it to the finish line.

“Our strategy was sleek and fast,” Bancroft said. “We had good teamwork with strong rowing. We had great team chemistry.”

Students had numerous strategies for staying afloat, including figuring out the perfect sized surface area and

length and arranging riders in the right positions.

To keep the competition fair, each team was allowed $100 in boat bucks to buy cardboard, duct tape and liquid nails. No other materials were allowed.

After the race was over, students were not allowed to keep their boats due to safety reasons.

“We have to destroy them because (people) have taken them out of the dumpsters before and tried to use them again in the ponds,” Spinks said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Psychology professors receive $500K, plan to train autism professionals

Sprint, AT&T to add 4G LTE coverage to Mount Pleasant towers

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

Students using Sprint and AT&T cell phone services can look forward to 4G LTE coverage in Mount Pleasant soon.

Josh Simon, Central Michigan University manager of mobile device administration and support, said this is a step in the right direction for carriers.

“The carriers seem to be investing a lot into 4G technology,” Simon said. “That’s a pretty big step forward.”

AT&T was unable to give comment, but according to a news release, 4G LTE has been made available to customers in the Mid-Michigan area.

“This launch is part of AT&T’s Project Velocity IP, a three-year investment plan announced last fall to expand and enhance its IP broadband networks,” read the release.

With 4G LTE comes faster speeds and better reliability.

Customers will be able to download, stream and upload data with more ease than was available with past services.

According to the news release, AT&T has invested

“The carriers seem to be investing a lot into 4G technology. That’s a pretty big step forward.”

Josh Simon, CMU manager of mobile device administration and support around $98 billion in its wireless network over the past five years nationwide.

While Sprint Retail Sales Manager Bryan Beadle could not confirm a definitive timeframe for the introduction of 4G, he did say Sprint is well into the LTE transition.

“We are in the process of upgrading our network,” Beadle said.

According to Simon, Sprint has been working to improve both of its network and structure in the Mount Pleasant area for the last several years.

Simon said CMU students should also expect better results with university services, including BlackBoard and the new university email system, on their phones.

“That’s just a much faster data,” Simon said. “That’s only going to make the user experi-

ence that much better.”

Rochester Hills junior Sean Kennedy, a Sprint customer, said he is more than looking forward to seeing an improvement to his service. For Kennedy, the experience with Sprint service has been consistently mediocre at best.

“The service is decent,” Kennedy said. “Internet is slow. I use Pandora on my phone for walking to class, and most of the time I’ll maybe get one song before it just cuts out for five minutes.”

Kennedy said when he is in areas with 4G, his phone generally works faster. While he was surprised to hear that Sprint and AT&T are updating their networks, Kennedy said the better service will maximize the benefits of unlimited data with Sprint. metro@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University psychology professors are working to increase the number of professionals trained to serve those with autism spectrum disorders.

The professors, Carl Merle Johnson, Susan Bradley-Johnson, Michael Hixson, Mark Reilly and Katrina Rhymer, were awarded $500,000 from the state of Michigan to train students in applied behavior analysis, which focuses on improving social behaviors of individuals with autism using intervention practices to modify actions and teach new skills.

Johnson said there is a shortage in Michigan of qualified people to provide services to children diagnosed with autism.

“We have been planning undergraduate and graduate programs in behavior analysis over the last couple of years,” Johnson said in an email. “Over the summer, we found out about

this grant opportunity and applied for it to facilitate the development of these trained programs.”

Training for the first group of students for the program will begin in January. Students can submit applications for the program to the psychology department later this semester.

Hixson said the grant money will be used in a variety of ways, including hiring additional assistance and to help students financially.

“One of the most important (ways) is to hire additional faculty to teach the necessary courses and provide supervision of students working with children diagnosed with autism,” Hixson said. “Grant money will also be used to help fund students through the program.”

The goal of those involved is to provide help to those affected with autism disorders.

“There are many families who have children with autism spectrum disorders that are not

getting the services they need to help their children because of the shortage of qualified behavior analysts who provide the best treatment for these children,” Johnson said.

The one-year grant from the state of Michigan began Oct. 1 and will certify 25 undergraduate students as Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts and eight graduate students as Board Certified Behavior Analysts.

While the grant is part of a statewide effort to raise awareness for services for those with autism, CMU’s program will focus solely on serving those in central and northern Michigan.

“Applied behavior analysis might not decrease the number of cases of autism,” Bradley-Johnson said in a press release.

“But it can certainly improve the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families.” studentlife@cm-life.com

While CMED’s first-ever semester is underway, another medical school is close to opening nearby.

Western Michigan University’s college of medicine will open its doors to a 50-student inaugural class in Fall 2014.

WMED’s founding dean, Hal Jenson, is certain that the two medical schools will work in

Adrian Hedden

Senior Reporter As a pair of medical schools at two of Michigan’s largest universities gain prominence, Central Michigan University’s new crown jewel might face more competition than previously reported.

Originally a school of education, intended to fill nearby teacher shortages, CMU has worn many hats over the years.

In addition to a burgeoning college of healthcare — practically begging for a high-profile nursing program — CMU also

“CMED’s been a great help to us. They’re a year ahead, and they’ve helped us with what they’ve done. ” While recruitment will largely comprise Michigan students, Jenson said that WMED is looking to draw student from 16 other states, including California.

“We’re a private medical school,” Jenson said. “While we expect to have Michigan

unison to address deficits of licensed doctors across the state.

“Its great to have both medical schools,” Jenson said.

“There are plenty of great applicants out there who will become great physicians.”

Jenson said WMED has already looked to CMED and other new medical schools as models.

“We’re not in competition with CMU,” he said.

When Patricia Mooradian was appointed to Central Michigan University’s Board of Trustees, she found herself in yet another position to make a difference.

Replacing Patricia Maryland to serve the remainder of the eightyear term, expiring in December 2018, Mooradian, president of the Henry Ford Museum, is used to running large institutions while retaining a strong value for intellectual needs.

“It was a bit of a surprise,” Mooradian said. “I’ve worked with the governor before, and I’ve always let him know that I’d be willing to fit in wherever needed. He really thinks my experience in leading a complex institution would lend itself toward dealing with the challenges of higher education.”

Gov. Rick Snyder affirmed his confidence in Mooradian via a press release in early August.

“Patricia is an experienced professional and I know she will make a positive contribution to the board,” Snyder said in the release.

With her experience at The

standard mission,” Biggs said.

“They’re poised differently.

They’re more broad.”

Biggs said CMED’s mission of recruiting students from communities the school intends to serve is uncommon among nearby medical schools.

“We’re very unique as far as medical schools are concerned,” Biggs said. university@cm-life.com

WMED may pose more competition than expected offers award-winning communications and fine arts degrees.

But the original CMU philosophy was followed when it introduced the brand new medical school in 2008.

Aimed to recruit from and send graduates to rural areas of Michigan that are suffering from large reductions in licensed care, CMED is poised to build upon its localized vision through a strong regional focus.

With declines in enrollment nagging the university’s academic and fiscal future, CMED might very well provide the prestige and visibility needed to re-align its university’s reputation and enrollment rate.

According to Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services Steven Johnson, a

medical school changes a university’s audience, and his ambitions might not be restricted to medical students.

It is hoped the medical school could raise the visibility of CMU, increasing interest and awareness in Michigan and throughout the country. It could be part of the antidote to campus-wide reductions and deficits.

While CMU is enjoying the successful open and potential benefits of CMED, Western Michigan University has been fast at work building its own seven-story medical school, opening in Fall 2014. With a similar end-game as CMED, Western has voiced a noble desire to also help medically under-served communities.

students, we are recruiting nationally. There’s no quota.”

CMED’s Senior Associate Dean of Administration and Finance Deborah Biggs said the two medical schools have very different visions. She explained that while CMED is aimed to serve specific regions in middle and upper Michigan, WMED is positioned to operate as a more traditional medical school. “(WMED) has more of a

Henry Ford Museum and cultural center, Mooradian felt that her background in knowledge-based institutions would serve her well at the university.

“The Henry Ford is education driven,” she said. “There are some similarities that can be drawn with CMU.” As her first board meeting drew near, Mooradian readied herself to learn the ins and outs of the university with a zeal for leadership and public service.

“The first thing I wanted to do was learn a lot about CMU,” she said. “I gathered information from various sources to figure out what the issues would be.”

At her first meeting, a board retreat in September, Mooradian was able to gain a strong understanding of the university’s direction.

Naming the decline in enrollment as a main issue facing CMU, she was certain the administration would rise to the occasion.

“I was very fortunate to attend the retreat,” Mooradian said. “The strategic plan was discussed and I was able to get very well grounded, to get that strategic foundation. They have very strong policies to reach their

According to CMED’s Senior Associate Dean of Administration and Finance Deborah Biggs, WMED aims to offer a more traditional medical school format.

Pointing out the unique, and undeniably essential, agenda of CMED, Biggs explained that WMED would hope to serve a broader range of students. But after speaking with WMED’s Founding Dean Hal Jenson, it seems CMED’s aspirations might not be so unique after all.

Although WMED has taken a broader aim when recruiting students — pulling admission from 16 states, including one student from California — it has chiefly expressed the same concerns for under-served Michigan regions.

Jenson also admitted a large majority of WMED students will be from Michigan. This made it clear that although they might not compete academically, the schools will obviously be competing for students and job to placement them in.

WMED’s inaugural class will be comprised of 50 students. That number is hoped to grow to a first-year class of 70 next year.

CMED’s first class numbered 64 students. They hope to expand as well, with a goal of 104 for next year.

The question is: How many medical students in Michigan will go to a start-up medical school for their training with such a regional focus?

Both schools are counting on hundreds.

Especially with the renowned medical school at the University of Michigan, that target audience for these developing colleges has got to be slim.

Driven by a dedicated faculty and student body, both universities will undoubtedly continue to develop. The presence of both is healthy, as students will be able to weigh both options and serve to measure the success of the differing visions.

As CMED moves forward, it needs to analyze this possible source of competition and consider expanding its vision as well.

goals. We spent a lot of time on (enrollment).”

Mooradian hopes to continue to further the mission of higher education, despite changing industry tides.

“I think there are a lot of challenges the industry is facing,” she said. “Fundraising is very important. To maintain a campus this size, to build on the need takes capital expenditures. That money has to come from somewhere.

You need good strategies to manage those issues.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL Team shows off offense in scrimmage

MONDAY, OCT. 21, 2013 | MOUNT PLEASANT, MICH. | ISSUE NO. 25 VOL. 95 »PAGE 5B

NIU’s Lynch sets rushing record against CMU Saturday

By Seth Newman Staff Reporter

There have been more than 10,000 college football games played in history.

None of them featured what Northern Illinois senior quarterback Jordan Lynch did on Saturday against Central Michigan.

Lynch rushed for 316 yards; a Football Bowl Subdivision record for a quarterback. He averaged 9.9 yards per his 32 carries on the day.

The previous holder for the rushing record? Northern Illinois quarterback Stacey Robinson in 1990, when he rushed for 308 yards against Fresno State.

As a Heisman Trophy candidate in 2012 and leading Northern Illinois to the first-ever BCS bowl for a Mid-American Conference team last year, head coach Dan Enos knew trying to emulate Lynch in practice was difficult.

“We used (freshman quarterback) Darrien Boone,” Enos said. “He is very athletic and works it. We used Alex Niznak a little bit in situations, too. We had our offense go real fast and use two huddles against them.

At the end of the day, Jordan Lynch is outstanding.”

At one point, Lynch lost his shoe dropping back, then took off for a 30 yard run wearing only one shoe.

Aside from his ability to run, Lynch also scored through the air.

He passed for 155 yards and threw a nine-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to wide receiver Tommylee Lewis.

Last week, Lynch became the 10th quarterback in FBS history to rush for more than 3,000 yards and pass for more than 4,000 in a career.

While Lynch gained all the stats, Enos believes his team was out blocked on the line of scrimmage.

“Absolutely,” Enos said. “Him and the blocking, he is a great player.

You just don’t go and rush for 300 yards with no blocking.”

Lynch agreed with Enos’ assessment of the blocking.

“The holes were so wide open; it was nothing I did,” Lynch said. sports@cm-life.com

Run over NIU quarterback Lynch runs for a record day as the Huskies beat CMU on homecoming

By Jeff Papworth | Staff Reporter

Head coach Dan Enos is just fine with never having to face Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch again.

Who can blame him after the senior rushed for 316 yards – a FBS record for a quarterback – and also passed for 155 yards to lead his team to a 38-17 win on Saturday in front of 18,796 fans at Kelly/Shorts Stadium?

“Jordan Lynch is outstanding,” Enos said. “But the offensive line and tight ends did a good job.”

Northern Illinois’ lead widened, as the holes for Lynch to run through did the same.

The Huskies took the lead for the first time in the game at the start of the third quarter with a field goal, making it 17-14. Then Lynch, who had 232 rushing yards in the second half, contributed to a drive that extended their lead to 10 with a 40 yard carry and a one yard run into the end zone with 3:22 left in the third quarter.

He was not done, as he ran another 40 yards on the first play of NIU’s drive in the middle of the fourth quarter and then he followed his blockers to score a three yard touchdown to extend the lead to 31-17.

“He’s a tough guy. He’s a competi-

tor,” said senior safety Avery Cunningham. “He has a certain drive to him, so that’s going to help him out.”

CMU, looking to tie the game prior to that drive, moved to midfield, but redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush was sacked for a loss of nine on third and seven.

Rush completed 16 of 32 passes for 271 yards. He had his best quarter in the first with two touchdown passes and eight completions out of 11 throws for 146 yards.

Only against Michigan, did the running game do worse than it did against the Huskies, tallying 75 yards with sophomore Saylor Lavallii leading the running backs with 58 yards.

In the first quarter, the CMU defense looked like it was going to keep Lynch somewhat under wraps.

The Huskies scored its second

touchdown to tie it at 14 by the middle of the second quarter after Rush put the defense in a bad spot, throwing a pick to give them the ball at CMU’s 26 yard line.

Senior receiver Jerry Harris was responsible for a fumble after catching a pass that would have been

enough to convert a fourth and four.

“Against good teams, you can’t have missed opportunities and we missed one right there with that,” Enos said. sports@cm-life.com

Lavallii, CMU rushing attack shut down by aggressive NIU defense

By Aaron McMann Senior Reporter

Gregory Cornwell | Staff Photographer Running back sophomore Saylor Lavallii carries the ball up field against NIU Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Looking at the stat sheet after Central Michigan’s 38-17 loss to Northern Illinois on Saturday, Dan Enos was able to diagnose what went wrong.

Sure, stopping Jordan Lynch from rushing for a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 316 yards might have helped, but CMU couldn’t get a ground game established itself, making it particularly difficult to score in the second half.

“Our longest run of the day, I see, is 8 yards,” Enos said. “We couldn’t get it like we had been the last few weeks.”

As expected, CMU came out throwing the ball, an effort to attack a NIU secondary that ranks last in the Mid-American Conference in passing yards allowed. By the end of the first quarter the Chippewas had a 14-7 lead, relying on big passing plays to move the offense. They ran the football just four times.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush found junior receiver Titus Davis for 38 yards on CMU’s second drive of the game, returning to Davis

three plays later on a 9-yard touchdown pass to put the Chippewas up 7-0. Rush connected with sophomore Andrew Flory for a 36-yard touchdown catch on CMU’s next possession, and thinks appeared to be rolling.

Enos said NIU began to change to change their defensive schemes, especially in the second half, forcing the Chippewas to run the ball. And they couldn’t.

“They started forcing us to run the football,” Enos said. “We had gotten some big plays in the pass-game, they kind of changed their philosophy and went to a lot of 2-deep zones … And we didn’t get any explosive runs.”

The Huskies tied the game at 14 midway through the second quarter, and Enos opted to try to push the run-game.

Sophomore Saylor Lavallii couldn’t break a tackle or find a hole, unable to pick up a carry of more than 4 yards.

After setting career-highs in back-toback weeks, Lavallii rushed 16 times for 53 yards. Redshirt freshman Maurice Shoemaker-Gilmore didn’t fare much better, rushing 12 times for 37 yards. w LAVALLII | 2B

CONTINUED FROM 1B

Enos said he tried inserting Shoemaker-Gilmore in the second half to “change things up,” but CMU couldn’t muster a carry for longer than 7 yards.

They rushed for 75 yards total in the game, the third time CMU has been held under 100 yards rushing this season.

“When you can’t run the ball it’s hard to get the offense moving, and we take pride in running the ball,” said senior left guard Andy Phillips.

“We’ve done it well the past few weeks, we just didn’t get it going. It’s hard to win when you can’t the ball.”

Things became difficult for Rush, too. After going 11-for-19 for 206 yards, and throwing an interception, he became a non-factor, going 5-for-13 for 65 yards. Part of the problem was not having the football — NIU dominated the time of possession, holding on to the football more than six minutes longer through the first three quarters.

You can chalk that one up

Staff Reporter

You missed out again This will sound like a broken record. And it is. But why do students continue to leave after halftime?

Is that what you did during high school football games?

I’ll give students credit for showing up to this game, and at one point the student section was close to 90 percent full, but why leave during halftime?

I feel like students have one football game to attend a year: Homecoming.

It was perfect weather for football. If you’re coming to the game, you should know it’s going to be cold. Dress in layers, it’s always easier to take something off. Leaving because it’s cold is no excuse.

I’m all for drinking and tailgating. But you also have to know that the football game will last around three hours.

I know most students drink a ton before the game, show up for a quarter or two and then leave to go home and pass out.

What’s the point?

If you actually enjoy watching football and you left, then shame on you the most.

Northern Illinois is a Top 25 team that is undefeated. They haven’t lost in the Mid-American conference in almost two years. Their last loss? Right here in Mount Pleasant.

You also had an opportunity to watch one of the best college football players of the past few years in Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch. He was a Heisman Trophy candidate last year, and you bet he is one this year as well after this game.

I wrote an entire article on Lynch because he did something on Saturday that has never been seen before.

As a quarterback, he rushed for 316 yards. The most ever in FBS history.

And you missed it. A performance of a lifetime.

It’s not like CMU is the worst team in the MAC. It just came off of a huge upset against Ohio last week and is probably going to be eligible for a bowl game for the second straight season.

Even Western Michigan, who is winless and has eight losses, gets more excitement from the students.

You know these guys playing for CMU, you have class with them, or you’ve seen them on campus.

They’re fellow Chippewas.

Support them for once. Show up for 60 minutes of football.

Then, continue the party.

Rush struggles as run game fails to produce, receivers step up

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Quarterback Cooper Rush could not have started the game against No. 23 Northern Illinois any better on Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

He had eight completions in 11 attempts for 146 yards and two touchdown passes in the first quarter to give his team a 14-7 lead.

Then Rush’s efficiency declined and the offensive production came to a halt. CMU scored three more points and Rush completed eight of 21 passes for 125 yards in the next three quarters.

Head coach Dan Enos, who said Rush did “well,” had a diagnosis of why the passing game went awry, which entailed struggles with running the ball and a schematic change from the Huskies’ defense.

“They kind of changed their philosophy a little bit and went to a two deep zone,” Enos said. “We’re getting three yards (rushing), we’re getting two yards (rushing).

We need to get a 15 yards (rushing) in there.”

The longest carries by CMU in the game were 8 yards by running backs Saylor Lavallii and Maurice Shoemaker-Gilmore.

Central Michigan rushed for 75 yards for the game, second worst of the season.

Enos said the offense’s time of possession could have been better in the second half with a run game that could be relied on, and it gave NIU’s offense a chance to establish itself, as it amassed 299 rushing yards in the second half.

“It really comes down to, at the end of the day, their ability to run the football and our inability to run the foot-

“When you put it on your quarterback and say you’ve got to throw every down or you’ve got to convert all of these third and eights, it’s going to get really difficult.”

ball,” Enos said. “When you put it on your quarterback and say you’ve got to throw every down or you’ve got to convert all of these third and eights, it’s going to get really difficult.”

Rush was not beyond criticism. In addition to speaking about easy throws he missed, Enos touched on his costly interception.

“He couldn’t see somebody and you’ve got to understand as a young quarterback if you can’t see him don’t throw it,” Enos said. “He was going by ‘I thought he was going to be in a certain spot’ and he wasn’t there.”

The CMU receivers were there for Rush more than the running backs.

Titus Davis, returning from a shoulder injury, had five catches for 109 yards and accounted for the first touchdown of the game with a catch in the corner of the end zone.

“The coverage dictates who gets the ball,” Enos said.

“Early in the game, they were singling him and we probably took advantage of it too quickly. We should have not done so many so they would not change the coverage so fast. But Andrew Flory made a couple big plays, too. That was really nice to see him do that.”

to Lynch and NIU’s offensive line, who had their way with the CMU defensive line.

“When you’re just going to put it on your quarterback and throw every down, and convert all these third-and-8’s, it’s going to get very difficult,” Enos said NIU: Better than last year?

After the game, Enos was asked if this year’s Northern Illinois team, out to a 7-0 start and ranked in the Top 25, was better than 2012.

“I don’t know, I don’t know,” Enos responded. “I don’t want to say that right now, because I’m not sure. They’re very good, and I thought last year’s team was outstanding too.

We’ll see.”

Last year, CMU trailed NIU 24-21 early in the third quarter in DeKalb, Ill., before the Huskies went on to outscore the Chippewas 31-3.

“When you look at them you don’t see any glaring weakness,” Enos said. “You don’t say you’re going to attack this or attack that. You see places where you think you can attack.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Team gets into an offensive rhythm

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

For the fourth straight game, the women’s soccer team held their opponent scoreless.

The defense was strong for the Chippewas early on in Sunday’s game against Buffalo but it was the offense that determined the outcome.

Head coach Peter McGahey said the offensive rhythm his team has gotten into is all the result of finishing on the scoring chances created.

“I think we are finding a good rhythm in creating chances, and, more importantly, now we are actually finishing those chances,” McGahey said.

Forward Laura Gosse continues to be a key contributor offensively for CMU. She has four goals in the last four games for the Chippewas, including the game winner against Buffalo in double overtime.

Offensively, the team has come alive during conference play, scoring 10 goals in eight games. The offense is being set up by a strong defensive efforts early in games.

Although the team struggled to find the back of the net, it was the relentless

offensive attack throughout the second half that helped lead to another CMU win.

McGahey said that Gosse’s success has been based on many of the little things she does in order to create chances to score.

“I think her form right now is really good,” McGahey said. “For four games running now, it’s all about the other things she is doing that is creating the

goals for her.”

With a four-match winning streak since starting Mid-American Conference play 2-2, the Chippewas are now tied for first in the MAC West with Eastern Michigan, who holds the tiebreaker after a 3-0 win at Mount Pleasant two weeks ago. sports@cm-life.com

VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball splits weekend with a pair of four-set matches

By Taylor DesOrmeau & Joe Judd Staff Reporters

After winning Friday’s game with an impressive offensive effort against Miami (Ohio), volleyball traveled to Bowling Green to try to keep up its winning ways.

It was not in the cards for CMU, as it dropped the match 3-1 to the Falcons, 1725, 19-25, 25-23 and 10-25.

Senior libero Jenna Coates collected 22 digs in her team’s losing effort, while junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre had 13 digs of her own, to go with 14 kills.

It was a different story Friday night, when the Chippewas beat the RedHawks in four sets.

For the second straight week, senior outside hitter Katie Schuette helped CMU win its first game of the weekend, leading the team in kills.

“I thought Schuette was very aggressive in set three and that changed the match around for us,” said head coach Erik Olson to CMU Athletics. “When Schuette’s playing great, we’re a very good team.”

Schuette and junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre had 15 kills in the Chippewas 3-1 victory. Schuette eclipsed her career-high in

kills, which was 13 in a 2010 match against Northern Illinois. She’s recorded 12 kills twice this season.

Friday’s match was the first time CMU has won a match in which it lost a set since Sept.7, when it beat Robert Morris 3-2.

The regular veterans played to form, as Coates recorded 24 digs and senior setter Kelly Maxwell had 43 assists.

“Kelly did a great job distributing the ball and put up some great numbers once again,” Olson said to CMU Athletics. “She also had 10 digs. I thought Coates was outstanding

with 24 digs. Coates made some great reads and was almost digging half the court tonight.”

With the loss to Bowling Green coming right after a dominating victory against Miami, this weekend is a good representation of the Chippewas season thus far.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Team shows off offense in scrimmage

By Kristopher Lodes Sports Editor

Before kicker Ron Coluzzi was kicking field goals at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, the men’s basketball team was making baskets at McGuirk Arena.

The 2012-13 Chippewas were in action for the first time prior to the CMU homecoming football game and the Maroon squad, comprised of sophomores: Guard Chris Fowler, forward John Simons, forward Blake Hibbitts, guard Austin Stewart, guard Spencer Krannitz and Gregory Cornwell | Staff Photographer guard Rayshawn Simmons; Sophomore guard Sheldon Lowman dribbles down the court during a freshman guard Josh Kozinski preseason scrimmage Saturday at McGuirk Arena. and senior center Zach Saylor, ran past the gold team with well, as they come in as freshing the middle of the season, a strong shooting effort from men. It’s going to take some something got to me and threw three-point range. time to develop. It doesn’t me off – maybe the change of “It was good, but that’s mean the way we shot (Saturthe game from high school to what the Maroon squad does,” day) is going to be every game, college – but now I’m used to it Krannitz said. “We push it and but we’ve got several guys who and my shot feels good.” look for our shot.

Guard Keel sprains ankle, not expected to miss significant time

By Aaron McMann Senior Reporter

Central Michigan guard Austin Keel is day-to-day after suffering a sprained ankle in practice last week.

He sat out of the open Maroon & Gold scrimmage Saturday, wearing sweats and a walking boot on his left foot. Keel and head coach Keno Davis both said after that he is not expected to miss any significant time and could play in CMU’s exhibition game Oct. 28 against Lake Superior State.

“He stepped on somebody’s foot in practice,” Davis said. “This was his first practice ever missed of his career, and I told him that if there was ever a good time to miss a couple of days, it’s right now.”

Keel played in all 31 games last season, starting in 20, at the shooting guard spot on a team that was in transition. A few players from the Ernie Zeigler era remained, and Keel played about 17 minutes per game while averaging 4.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.

Many of those players have since left, with Keel and sixth-year senior center Zach Saylor the only two left. Barring injury, Saylor is expected to play significant minutes while Keel will have some competition to deal with on a guard-heavy team.

“That’s the plan,” Keel said of landing in the starting lineup. “There are definitely some guys who can play. As long as I make shots, I should see a lot of

playing time.”

Davis said Keel’s injury allowed others, citing sophomore combo-guard Spencer Krannitz, to get more playing time. Expect senior DeAndray Buckley and sophomores Austin Stewart, Rayshawn Simmons and Derrick Richardson Jr. to compete for minutes, too.

“You can’t press and run and play five, six guys,” Davis said. “You have to have at least eight, and we’ve got more than that. When we have an injury, like Keel not practicing today, it doesn’t affect us much. It’s kind of like the next man up, so we’re going to be a tough team to go against.” sports@cm-life.com
