Freshman pickpocket faces additional charges By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

A Chesterfield freshmen arrested for pickpocketing cell phones at Wayside Central, faces multiple charges following his arrest. Mount Pleasant Police Department public information officer Jeff Browne said after receiving multiple complaints, Wayside staff members reported and identified

18-year-old Kenntel Watson as the thief. Police followed Watson from Wayside to the McDonald’s on Mission St., where he was arrested Kenntel Watson with four stolen cell phones. Browne said all phones have been returned to their owners.

Upon running a background check, officers found an outstanding warrant for Watson on three counts of fraud, stemming from the theft of an ATM Card. Police interviewed Watson about the stolen ATM Card, which was used three times at the Burger King on Broomfield St. Watson is charged with four counts of larceny in a building, three counts of fraudulent use of

a stolen credit card, one count of receiving and concealing stolen property, and one count of minor in possession of alcohol. Watson has retained attorney Anne McLellan of Mount Pleasant and is being held in Isabella County Jail on a $35,000 bond. Browne commended Wayside staff members for “taking action to protect their customers” in cooperation with the police.

Student activists make sure Ferguson is not forgotten By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Hans Schroeder’s voice cut through the cold October air as protestors made their way through campus Tuesday. Waving signs and chanting “No justice, no peace, no racist police” and “Black lives matter,” the East Lansing junior and his planning partner, junior Portia Brown, made it their mission to keep the shooting death of Michael Brown

in Ferguson, Mo. in the public conscience. “We want to let people know that (police brutality) is still a problem within communities,” Brown said. “We don’t want people just to say ‘Oh, that’s sad,’ we want them to realize that this is a problem and hopefully feel motivated to do something about it.” The pair organized two 40-minute marches which took protesters from the bus stop behind Moore to the front steps of the

University Center. Afterwards, an open dialogue took place were protesters talked about their thoughts, feelings, and even experiences with police brutality and racism. Recently returning from their trip to Ferguson to participate in protests, Brown and Schroeder had the blueprints for this campus march were laid out before returning home. “What we discovered when we got back, and before we even left,

was that there just wasn’t a lot of awareness about (police brutality),” Brown said. Brown and Schroeder believe it’s their civic responsibility to bring to light the problems individuals face with the current state of the police system. They believe it’s important for those uninvolved to realize the broader scope of the issue of racism, prejudice, and police brutality in America. w Ferguson | 2

Mount Pleasant

Celebrate autumn this month with one of these entertaining activities By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Mount Pleasant offers entertainment for residents and visitors all year long, but the season of autumn is especially busy. From football games to visiting area haunted houses, there’s something for everyone.

1. One of the most popular things college students can experience during the fall is visiting pumpkin patches. Uncle John’s Cider Mill, located on US-127 between Mount Pleasant and St. Johns, offers a cider mill, bakery, wine tasting and many open nature trails. Papa’s Pumpkin Patch and Country Farm Market in Mount Pleasant or Phillips Orchards and Cider Mill in St. Johns offer many activities. Papa’s Pumpkin Patch provides hayrides, pick-your-own pumpkins and a variety of vegetables and fruits to pick. At Phillips, you can pick apples or pumpkins, or ride in a horse-drawn wagon. Muskegon senior Deborah May said she enjoys picking apples in the fall. “Picking apples or carving pumpkins are some of my favorites,” she said. 2. Go to a football game. Going to see the Chippewas play at Kelly-Shorts Stadium is a great way to get involved in campus culture and support your school. Bath senior Brionna Hardin said this is one of her favorite things to do in fall. “I love going to the games and just being a part of that football culture,” she said. 3. Take a walk through a park or on a nature trail. One of the best ways to truly experience fall is to see the autumn colors. So, visit a city park like Chip-A-Waters or Island Park to get a glimpse of Mount Pleasant nature in orange, red and yellow hues.

4. Everyone knows October is the spookiest month of the year. While a few offerings are available on campus, students say one of the best haunted houses around is Terror on 27 which is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in October. Located a half hour south of the city on US127, it offers three different haunted experiences. “Terror on 27 is pretty fun,” said Mike Schmidt, a fifth-year senior and Mason native. “There are two haunted houses and a haunted maze. It’s a little pricey but worth it.” w fall | 2

But due to her cognitive impairment, Myers couldn’t play in middle school or high school.

Keeping tattoos healthy in close quarters By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Nearly every student seems to have a little ink. What many students don’t know is that these permanent pieces of art may be risky when living in a residence hall. Most freshmen coming to campus are just turning 18, the age to finally obtain a legal tattoo. Not every student will take advantage of this, but having three tattoo parlors near campus just adds to the temptation. People with new tattoos tend to get excited and may not think about all the work that goes into the after-care, this is how infection can occur. “I just got my second tattoo a few weeks ago and it was harder to take care of than the first,” said

Shelby Township freshman Natalie Wojcickij. “It was really hard to find Dial soap and Aquaphor around campus. With the tattoo being on my thigh it was hard to air it out. I was kind of ill-prepared.” In residence halls, showers can be small and this can be a problem when trying to clean a new tattoo without fully submersing it in water. A tattoo needs a lot of extra attention, from delicately washing it to making sure it doesn’t dry out from heat. Living in a dorm also can be messy. If the room or bathroom is not regularly cleaned, bacteria may grow. That’s no place for a fresh tattoo. Since residence halls are highly populated and temperatures can get warm, bacteria can grow at a faster rate. According to a PR Newswire

study done on residence hall rooms, people in these small areas are more at risk to staph infection because residence halls are highly populated with busy students who may not have time to clean everyday. Staph is a bacteria that is regularly on a person’s skin. Each person is a carrier of a different type of staph and can be immune to the type they carry, but not to someone else’s. “As long as a person has good hygiene and clean bedding, a tattoo won’t be at high risk for infection,” said Eric Ochsenkehl artist and owner of Evolved Artforms Tattoo. “A tattoo is an abrasion, not a large wound, so if it’s done in the proper environment it shouldn’t get infected. Another thing people don’t think about is sleeping in someone

else’s bed, it may not be clean and this could cause problems.” So many students on campus have tattoos and it’s important for them to be informed of how to take care of them. Using certain soaps and lotions that the artist recommends will definitely help the healing process, as well as not touching or picking at it. According to the Health Services Office in Foust Hall, there have been no recent incidents with tattoo infections. “In the beginning of the semester, I got a tattoo of a quote going down my whole side,” said Charlotte freshman Mikeayla Pellegrino. “I didn’t have any problems with the after-care and it looks really nice. As long as you take care of yourself, your tattoo will be fine, even if you’re living in the residence halls.”

Photography alumnus remembered by coworkers By Ben Solis Editor-in-chief

Ken Stevens, long-time Muskegon Chronicle photographer and a 1985 Central Michigan University graduate, died unexpectedly on Oct. 20, leaving a hole in the hearts of all who worked and lived with him Stevens spent more than two decades of his career capturing the joys and tragedies of life in western Michigan. He leaves behind a wife and two children, according to a story about his life and work published on MLive Muskegon. “What that (article) shows was his wide breath of skill in still shooting in any situation, his understanding of the community and understanding of people,” said Peg West, editor of the Muskegon Chronicle. “I think with any good photojournalist, it’s something that goes beyond skill of the eye, it’s the anticipation and understanding of the story. He was very much able to do that. “We’ve had just an outpouring of support from the community.” Aside from his daily duties as one of the newspaper’s top photographers and multi-media specialists, Stevens was a prominent flag bearer for CMU – particularly its journalism department and Central Michigan Life. Jim Wojcik, a professor in the department and a former CM Life advisor, said that Stevens’ spirit and work ethic were exceptional. “He was just a tremendous person; they don’t make them like him anymore. I can’t think of anyone nicer than he was,” Wojcik said. “In all my 30 years of knowing him, from the time he entered in as a freshman, he was just dearly dedicated to his work.” Talented, poignant and professorial are all words colleagues and friends used to describe Stevens. Wojcik will always call attention to Stevens’ kindness as his defining quality. “What often gets overlooked – he was a tremendous photographer and he really jumped with both feet into producing multi-media content, he adapted – but what was so impres-

sive was that I don’t think I’ve heard him in 30 years ever speak a negative word about another person or an institution,” he said. “He lifted up everyone around him, he made them better, and was extremely loyal to CMU.” Stevens made time to come back to his alma matter for workshops and other mentorship activities for young journalists. He also worked closely with interns, many of whom were current students or recent graduates of CMU. “What we’ve been picking up from people was that they always felt like they mattered,” West said. “Ken was a consistent teacher, very encouraging; he always let you know if you needed to improve, but did it in a way that didn’t make you feel small. He made you feel like one of the gang immediately.” Stevens’ funeral is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Oct. 27 at Grace Lutheran Church, 2651 Shettler Road, Muskegon. A visitation is scheduled between 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 26 at Klaassen Funeral Home, 1500 Robbins Road, Grand Haven.

On Oct. 24, 1975, Central Michigan Life reported on the ongoing construction on a new art building on campus. The North Art Studio, which still to this day stands on the corner of Washington and Preston Streets, is a one-story A-frame structure which occupies about 13,000 square feet. It was built for instructional programs in sculpture and ceramics, and was meant to replace those facilities in Ronan and Pearce Halls. Its construction was 30 days behind schedule. The building cost about $650,000 and was financed through a $200,000 gift from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow foundation of Midland and also a $150,000 donation from the Kresge foundation of Troy. Remaining cost was covered through the university’s One-Point Five campaign. Anthony Paparella, the architect for the university, said the building was the first phase of the consolidation of the art department on campus. Eventually an entrance was added that would directly connect it to Wightman Hall. Paparella also discussed the construction of a planned industrial education building to be built directly east of the site of the now demolished Washington Apartments. The building was to be completed in five years and create space in Wightman for the expansion of the art department. By Andrea Peck, Senior Reporter

Damon Brown speaks to Central Michigan University students, faculty, and staff to share how his family was affected by cancer.

peaking about a loved one who lost a lost a fight with cancer can be painful. But for Damon Brown, sharing his wife’s story with students, faculty and staff on Monday evening showed

Central Michigan University the power of love and acceptance. Moments like these remind us why we recognize breast cancer awareness in October, and for better or for worse, why the entire nation goes pink for one month at the end of the year. “My world stopped. The person I was meant to spend the rest of my life with is gone,” Brown said that night in between brief, but saddened pauses. “As much as I love my wife, as much as I love her now, if she is back she’s still in pain. That means she is still suffering. “That is not a Keisha I want.”

It’s easy to forget why we set aside specific months to recognize people suffering from an ailment that we may never get – especially if the celebration is punctuated with the sale of Tshirts bearing catchy slogans. That’s why stories like Brown’s are so important. They remind us of the work we still have to do – in whatever way we can – to prevent another family from losing a beloved member to a disease that could be stopped with more research and funding behind it. If we are ever to prevent another man from losing his wife, mother or daughter again, we

Give your professors a break When using rating websites to pick your professor, we often hear the phrase “don’t read the comments” or use them as a guidepost to make the final decision. What we should say is “don’t leave the negative comments to begin with.” The Internet allows us to hide behind a screen, instantly sending negative messages to people, including hurtful comments about our professors. RateMyProfessors.com provides students with the ability to anonymously critique their professors.

must continue to be vigilant in raising awareness, no matter how commercialized or overexposed these causes become. Brown has helped the entire university realize that in one presentation. In an effort to support those who have survived or battled for years against breast cancer, the Susan G. Komen foundation has inadvertently created a sense of fatigue in some people. It’s easy to become desensitized by a cause that has been plastered on everything from coffee mugs to license plates. We can’t blame people for feel-

Most of these critiques, however, are more destructive rather than constructive. “I think that a more helpful thing is something where you actually put your name,” journalism professor Teresa Hernandez said. “I think one of the things that’s happened in our society is we’ve become people that are angry and upset with things but we do it without standing behind what we say.” Hernandez added that the comments left on the website go be-

ing put off, either, in October when instead of seeing storefront windows dressed in festive brown or orange, they see a smattering of vibrant pink. On our pages, we too went completely pink, printing a two-section production on brightly hued newspaper stock. For those who have been deeply affected by breast cancer, the pink paper was embraced and applauded. Through Brown and others like him, men and women so willing to revisit, we again realize the profound difference buying a T-shirt or wearing a single shade can make in the

yond being simply critical – they can be scathing. It’s true; many of the comments on RateMyProfessors.com are insulting and they provide almost no useful feedback. Imagine if people went online and ranked you, throwing around angry adjectives and attempting to convince other people that you’re not good at what you love. People often think that professors should just have thicker skin, but negative comments can still hurt no matter how strong a person is. “I think for professors that look at RateMyProfessors.com, it certainly does impact their confidence and can create some element of insecurity or concern about how they’re doing, but most professors understand the biases,” Honors Program Director Phame Camarena said.

lives of women fighting breast cancer. “There’s a poem out there about what cancer cannot do,” Brown said. “It cannot take your joy, it cannot steal your spirit; cancer can do so many wonderful things. It brings families together, it brings enemies together. “I’m stronger because of cancer.” And in turn, Damon, this university is stronger because you reminded us of your wife’s brave fight. Thank you for sharing Keisha’s story. Like you, it is one we will never forget.

Part of the problem stems from our education system and the pressure we feel to succeed. Many students obsess over their grades and their GPAs, and can then feel angry or disappointed when they don’t get the grades they want. This can lead them to take that anger to the anonymity of the Internet. “I gave [my students] an assignment to do a creative project and one of the criteria was ‘are you being kind to yourself?’ and someone asked me what that meant,” Hernandez said. “Later, I thought, ‘Wait, they really don’t know what it’s like to not beat themselves up constantly because that’s kind of the world we live in’ and that’s unfortunate, really.” Obviously, we’re not going to love every professor we have. We’re not going to learn something

They are advertised throughout campus in dining halls and in other locations, but who are they and what do they do? On their websites, they say they provide a medical clinic, post-abortive support services, sexual risk avoidance education and parenting programs. All are good services for women. What about a woman who wishes to terminate their pregnancy? What about her options? While some women struggle with their decision to have an abortion, for other women, they know right away – or when they find out they’re pregnant – that this is the decision that is right for them. Both situations are equally valid and neither should be judged. The problem, however, is that the closest location for women who wants to terminate her pregnancy safely is in Flint. As a reproductive rights activist, I not only fight for legal abortion, but accessible abortion. For Central Michigan University women, there is no avenue of access. It is also unethical for women in Mount Pleasant to be provided for with only two pregnancy options: Adoption or parenting. Jan Wilberg was a CMU student in the ’60s before abortion was legal. She published a story on Salon.com in 2012 titled, “My Illegal Abortion”. “The theory was that by inserting the wire through the cervix, moving it around a bit and then removing it, an infection would result and the pregnancy would be aborted,” she wrote. One-in-three women have an abortion in their lifetime. I believe 100 percent of these women deserve fair access to safe abortions and that includes the students of Central Michigan University. One can engage in a philosophical debate on whether abortion is moral or ethical, however when Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, abortion became a legal right. What is a right without access? Nothing.

life changing from every class. But professors are human. And if we’re struggling in a class or not understanding a professor, posting rude comments online is definitely not the way to address the problem. “What I’m hoping for is that we’re kind of overthrowing that culture (where students think they) shouldn’t be engaged in a conversation with a professor or correct a professor if they have something misspelled; we’re just human beings,” Hernandez said. Going online and saying that a professor is the “worst professor ever” will not make the student or the professor learn anything; it won’t make anyone grow or improve.

Choosing your major can be the most stressful decision in college By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

As a college student, chances are you will be asked at least once a day this reoccurring question: “What’s your major?” The answer provided for this question either solidifies the choice each time, or evokes doubt and stress. Signing a major in college is one of the biggest decisions of a student’s college education. One of the jobs of Honors Advisor Ken Rumsey is to work with students as they decide. “I think students are aware of the requirements for certain majors, degrees and possibly grad school,” Rumsey said. “And they realize that there’s a lot that needs to be accomplished, and if they don’t make that decision soon– then they’re ‘behind.’” Julianne DeMarco relates to feeling overwhelmed by picking a major. The Brighton

sophomore felt pressured by her family and peers to make a choice right when she entered college as a freshman. She decided on communication disorders a month before her freshman year, then decided against it after her first semester on campus. Despite her misgivings about being undecided, DeMarco was receiving encouragement on ruling out a major in communication disorders. She recalled some input she received at the time: “It’s good you’re figuring out this now instead of wasting all of that money your senior year and having to realize that you don’t like what you’re going to major in.” After finally receiving positive encouragement on one of her decisions pertaining to her education, she read the results of her interest survey and ‘speech pathology’ was number two on the list of her suggested jobs.

After initial aggravation, DeMarco considered the extensive care she took to filling out the career survey, deciding it was time to give communication disorders another shot. “When I decided a second time on my major it really felt like my choice instead of someone else’s,” she said. Advisor Rumsey acknowledges the importance of additional steps students should take aside from seeing an adviser. He sends students to Career Services, but points out that students should really go beyond that and talk to professionals in their area of interest. In addition, students should look into job shadowing, or even get a part-time job related to a profession they are curious about pursuing to get a real feel for their potential major and career path. Rumsey recognizes the struggle of choosing a potential career before being qualified

to be on the workforce and see whether it is a good fit. He explains that signing a major is not as intimidating as students think it is, and can only help the decision-making process.

“Something I would always encourage students to do is not be afraid of signing a major or minor,” Rumsey said. “It doesn’t lock you into anything and it can only give you more infor-

Students work to combat stress with healthy outlets on campus By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

In order to keep calm and maintain a stress-free lifestyle, Celedonia senior Micalah Brennan chooses running, reading and socializing as her outlets. In high school, she participated in sports and other extra curricular activities. Now, she uses other methods of combating stress on a tight schedule. Running and reading aside, Brennan finds the most important way to balance her time is to keep a good state of mind. “It really helps to put things into perspective,” Brennan said. She explained that if you turn in one homework assignment late, it won’t really matter in the long run. Everyone manages stress in their own way, and when adjusting to a college lifestyle, CMU students can attest that it is crucial to find an effec-

tive outlet to relieve stress and maintain a healthy mindset. Working out is a popular choice to release stress and proves to be effective for students. Hudsonville sophomore Nicole Bouwma plays basketball when she needs a break from schoolwork. “I think its purpose now is to relieve stress,” Bouwma explained. “Before I played because I just liked to play basketball, and now I feel like I have to implement it in order to control my stress.” She finds being active and other forms of exercise helpful as well. “For college students, there’s a lot of sitting around. It’s good to get up and move,” Bouwma said. “It actually makes me feel less tired to do.” Carpentersville, Ill. freshman Jacob Callihan works out to relieve stress and has actually started a trend on his floor

mation about what you’re potentially planning to do. You can find out about elective courses, and you can talk to a Major Advisor about grad school options and professional options.”

that helps motivate everyone to exercise. “You see more and more people doing it, and I feel like it has brought our floor closer in that way too,” Callihan said. Figuring out how to schedule and manage time was the hardest adjustment Callihan had to make when coming to college. He found that by structuring his day around a strict workout plan and building a community of people in his hall to workout together, he was able to alleviate stress. Instead of going to the SAC to workout, Dearborn junior Jeree Spicer is a member of the Rampage dance troupe – eliminating her stress through a mixture of hip-hop, lyrical and ballet. Spicer finds her stress level in college to be relatively similar to how it was in high school, and has adopted the mindset that things are ‘only as stressful as you make them.’

Students gain new perspectives through Native American Programs By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Native American Programs at Central Michigan University are debunking stereotypes about indigenous people’s culture, one at a time. Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs, and Hannah Bartol, a freshman from the Hannahville Indian Community near Escanaba, spoke to a group of students in JRN 380: Racial and Cultural Diversity: Mass Media’s Role, Monday about Native culture. “It’s about educating people about other cultures,” Green said. “Be allies and advocates for other cultures, not necessarily (just) Native Americans.” Green, Bartol and other staff members with Native American Programs bring their presentation to classes that request it. They discuss common stereotypes against Native Americans, their history, misconceptions perpetuated by the media and resources on campus. Bartol enjoys presenting her insight to students because it gives her the opportunity to quell common misconceptions about Native Americans. “It’s about dispelling the stereotypes and the things their parents might tell them,” she said. “I can educate them on why things are a certain way.” Several students in the class were surprised to learn some of the myths about traditional Native American clothing, as well as other topics. Waterford junior Erica Heintz was surprised to learn the headbands Native Americans are sometimes depicted wearing in popular culture, are not part of their tradition and were created for their aesthetic value by whites. “I thought those random facts were interesting, and I could kind of see where they were coming from already,” Heintz said. Cameron Johnson, a freshman from Lake Odessa, said she is interested in Native American education and getting the facts about reduced costs for Native American students. “I didn’t know about the free education (for Michigan universities). I didn’t know that it was just the tuition, and they still have to pay for other

things,” she said. They discussed the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s relationship with the university, which included the use of the “Chippewa” nickname, an articulation agreement providing easy transfer for Native college students, a universitysponsored archaeological dig at the local boarding school and a resolution signed in 2002 outlining the pair’s mutual cooperation. Green compared the way CMU handles potential issues with a Native American nickname for its sports teams to other schools like Florida State University. Discussion on the Florida State Seminoles and Chippewa nicknames was particularly interesting for Brad Tunney, Clinton Township sophomore. “I’ve discussed a lot about the Redskins,” he said. “It was good to hear from somebody that you actually kind of know and get their opinion on it so you can have both sides of the story on it.” Mike Marn, fixed-term journalism faculty member, said he gave his students a survey asking them about the importance of the issue of Native American mascots and

would be interested to see how the results might have changed after the presentation. “One of the problems with stereotyping is that you’re never in a position to see the perspective of the group that’s being stereotyped,” he said. “We don’t know what that feels like, we can only imagine, so it helps us get to that other side a little bit better when we can actually hear that experience relayed through the people who lived it.” It’s important for his students to realize that Native Americans do not live as they have been depicted by the media, Marn said, and the social issues surrounding them are relevant today. “I might say something that would offend someone who is a Native,” Heintz said. “You don’t mean it offensively, but it definitely makes you think differently, and it gives you different perspective that you never would have thought before.” In addition to visiting classrooms across campus, Native American Programs also hosts cultural workshops in residence halls upon request, where residents often make a traditional Native craft while learning the history and meaning behind it.

goals have been scored by Gosse during her stat sheet-stuffing career in a Maroon and Gold jersey. That figure is good enough for 7th on the CMU all-time scoring list, which is topped off by Stephanie Martin who has 26.

2014 Stats

Laura Gosse’s performance on the CMU women’s soccer team has been unmatched by any other Chippewa this fall. Here are her key statistics and those of the team heading into CMU’s pivotal matchup with Ohio today.

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Laura Gosse has not always been a goal scorer. One of Central Michigan University soccer’s all-time best scoring threats started her soccer career at a position that is a polar opposite to the one she currently occupies. Gosse, a forward, played as a sweeper defender for the Markham Lightning soccer club in her hometown of Markham, Ontario until she was 14 years old. A year later, she made the move to forward and flourished in an attacking role. “Attacking is an adrenaline rush,” Gosse said. “When you see the ball go out wide, you just get this urge to sprint forward because you want numbers in the box. You know that an opportunity is coming and you want to be there.” Her coach and longtime mentor Richard Alexander molded Gosse, she said, by instilling a confidence in her that thrives to this day. For Gosse, confidence has quickly turned to production. It only took Gosse three college matches to get on the score

support her teammates. She was able to keep a good mood on the team.” CMU’s leading goal scorer this year is also its most vocal. Sophomore Eliza Van de Kerkhove said there is a noticeable difference when Gosse is on the field. “Laura is one of the biggest leaders I’ve come across,” Van de Kerhove said. “She has taken me under her wing and shown me the way to be a better leader. The younger players are always following her.” Gosse has an undeniable glowing presence on the field. Always quick to laugh and rarely seen without a smile, her unique blend of laugher and leadership follows her wherever she goes, no matter what the situation. “You can still smile when you are being serious,” Gosse said with a grin. “It is very important to find humor in things, even when life isn’t going your way.” Her positive attitude eventually finds its way to the rest of her teammates, who say they appreciate it. “She is always a weird, quirky person on and off the

Senior forward making her legacy at CMU sheet her freshman year. During the rest of her career she has put the ball in the back of the net 19 times. That’s good enough for sixth all-time in program history. “Being in the top ten hasn’t really hit me yet,” Gosse said. “It will be cool to be remembered. To have that accolade to my name will be pretty cool because of how much I have enjoyed playing here.” Not only has she scored plenty of goals, but she has scored them at the right time. Possibly the biggest moment of Gosse’s career came during her sophomore season when she found the twine to tie the Chippewas with the University of Michigan in the NCAA tournament. While Gosse might be best remembered for that goal, her maturation as a leader over the period of four years is what has been most remarkable about her time in Mount Pleasant said current head coach Peter McGahey. “It has been really quite special,” McGahey said. “After the 18-month calendar the team has been through, she’s really risen to the occasion to

“She’s one of a kind. Everything she says is so Gosse. She is just hilarious. Goofy attitude, but she can be serious. She has a good balance.” Eliza Van de Kerkhove, Sophomore field,” fellow forward and senior Jennifer Gassman said. “She always tries to not say things around me because she knows I’ll yell at her for it. I’m a more serious person, but it’s still funny.” While her legacy might be cemented in program history, there is still time for Gosse to add to her story and that of her

2014 team. CMU’s last match is set for Oct. 30, but Gosse hopes it will not be the final time she slips on a pair of cleats for competitive action. “The past four years have been by far the best years of my life,” Gosse said. “Knowing I’ve gone through so many different experiences

here is crazy. Whenever my last match is, I think I will be sad, but happy with the experiences I have had.” Gosse’s days at CMU might be numbered, but her heirloom will last for generations of CMU soccer to come. “When you look at the legendary types of players, you see they have something special that is indefinable,” McGahey said. “Gosse is exactly that.”

Soccer playing for Mid-American Conference tournament life against Ohio By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

As it embraces the pressure that it faces from the success of the other Mid-American Conference teams, the Central Michigan University soccer team plays its last home game of the season Friday. The Chippewas are just four points out of the final conference tournament spot and will have a chance to keep pace in the postseason race at 3 p.m. against Ohio University. “Pressure is good,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “Pressure is fun. You would much rather play in a pressure match than a match that has no pressure at all. We are experienced enough to understand the urgency that will be required to get a good result. Even before the season starts, you always hope you have something to play for in

your last three matches.” The Bobcats come into Friday’s match fighting for a conference tournament spot as well. OU is currently clinging to the final MAC East playoff spot with a 3-5-conference record. Friday’s matchup will be important for both squads, which both need a win to keep their postseason dreams alive. “You can only control your own destiny as long as you continue to get the results you need,” McGahey said. “We have nine points on the table. We have to take points in every match.” Junior midfielder Kaelyn Korte has seven of the Chippewas 11 points during the conference schedule with three goals and one assist. While her offensive production was key in CMU’s 3-0 win against Akron, Korte’s defense is what her team-

mates say sets her apart. “That’s what created the momentum going forward into the attacking half,” said sophomore midfielder Eliza Van de Kerkhove. “Everyone defended as a team and the extra (possession) wins we needed to get the ball forward were there.” Ohio has scored seven goals on MAC opponents in 2014. Bobcats sophomore forward Alexis Milesky has found the back of the net four times this season including three match winners. Milesky is extremely accurate with 70 percent of her shots getting on frame. The Chippewas have lost every conference match in which they have allowed the first goal of the game. “If there is one aspect of the game that is critical to our team this season, it is understanding how to get the first goal,” McGahey said.

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer The Chippewas celebrate after Laura Gosse’s goal against IPFW on Sept. 19 at the CMU Soccer Complex.

The Chippewas final home game of the year, regardless of the outcome, is likely to create nostalgia from several upper-

classmen on the team. “It’s going to be emotional, but I won’t really think about it too much until the end,”

said senior forward Jennifer Gassman. “I just want to leave it all out on the field for the team and the program.”

Chippewas look to reduce penalties, redeem themselves Saturday at Buffalo der. We’re going to run the ball, we’re going to play great defense and we’re going to try to bring home the win.” Head coach Dan Enos’ “24 hour rule,” allow the Chippewas to celebrate or mourn a game for 24 hours before refocusing on the next opponent. Those 24 hours were painful for sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush, who engineered a fourth-quarter comeback before the defense relinquished the lead with 17 seconds to play. “It stings,” Rush said. “You try to (forget about it). It doesn’t work. You’re just up all night thinking about stuff and certain plays. Interceptions, fumbles, plays that, if this would have happened, this could have happened.” Rawls said he’s had trouble sleeping this week, but not just because of the loss. “I couldn’t sleep period because of my body,” Rawls said. “Even if my body was feeling good I probably would have lost a little bit of sleep.” With the second-most rushing attempts in college

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

Dropping from one of the favorites in the Mid-American Conference West Division to MAC mediocrity with it’s most recent loss to Ball State, the Central Michigan football team heads to Buffalo on Saturday. A total of 10 penalties for 91 yards sank the Chippewas in their loss to Ball State last week. Head coach Dan Enos said sarcastically that he solved the issue in practice this week. “I took my magic wand out, waved it over them and said ‘Now we’re disciplined,’” Enos said. Buffalo (3-4, 1-2 MAC) fired head coach Jeff Quinn after losing to Eastern Michigan two weeks ago. One of the two teams will be at least partially redeemed Saturday. “Nothing’s changed,” said CMU senior running back Thomas Rawls. “Even if we’re out of the race for the MAC Championship, we’re going to play with a chip on our shoul-

football, Rawls has 185 carries, even after missing two games. Rawls is fifth in rushing yards and ninth in touchdowns and insisted that he will be ready come game day. Senior wide receiver Titus Davis echoed statements he has made earlier this season after previous losses ahead of this weekend’s matchup with the Bulls. “You have to look in the mirror and ask ‘what could I have done better,’” Davis said. “The things that I thought I could’ve done better, I really put emphasis on this week.” Davis’ two touchdowns Saturday tied him with Bryan Anderson with 28 career receiving touchdowns, the most in Chippewa history. The Wheaton, Ill. native compares Buffalo’s defense to Ohio’s man-coverage defense. Davis gathered 10 catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns—all season highs— against the Bobcats on Oct. 4. “They have pretty much everyone in the box and they will leave their corners out on an island,” Davis said. “We, as wide outs, see that as an op-

portunity and we want to take full advantage of that.” On defense, the Chippewas will have to deal with a wellrounded Buffalo offense. “Their offensive line is pretty big,” said junior defensive end Blake Serpa. “Their running back does a nice job

at hitting holes and just getting forward.” Buffalo running back Anthone Taylor, is not far behind Rawls in the stat book. The junior is third in the country with 183 rushing attempts and ranks in the top 10 in the FCS in rushing yards.

Joe Licata has thrown for 1,892 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Bulls this year. The game will start at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the University at Buffalo Stadium. The game can be viewed on ESPN3.

MAC finalizes new bowl game agreement; Davis talks Bears By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Head Coach Dan Enos scans the field from the Chippewas’ sideline during CMU’s game against Ohio on Oct. 4 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The potential for the Chippewas to go to a bowl game are looking better, but not because of anything on the field. The Mid-American Conference announced a six-year deal Tuesday that would allow a MAC team to play in the Detroit-hosted Quick Lane Bowl if either the Big Ten or the Athletic Coastal Conference cannot provide a team. The Quick Lane Bowl is the replacement for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in 2014. The game will be at 4:30 p.m. Dec. 26 at Ford Field. Four of the Chippewas nine bowl games in program history have been at Ford Field, including CMU’s most

recent bowl game, a 24-21 victory over Western Kentucky in 2012. Head Coach Dan Enos said it’s still way to early to be thinking about the postseason. “I’m not talking about any bowl games,” Enos said. Ball State’s game-winning field goal is the longest in the MAC in 2014. Ball State kicker Scott Secor booted a 55-yard field goal in the final minute Saturday to lift his team to a 32-29 victory. Not only was the kick a career long for Secor, it was also the longest made field goal by a Mid-American Conference kicker this season. Bowling Green is the only other MAC team with a made field goal over 50 yards. Overall, MAC kickers are

two-for-seven from beyond 50. “It is tough because we did lose the game on over a 50 plus yard field goal,” said senior running back Thomas Rawls. “It’s kind of tough, but I think as a whole we knew we finished the game as much as we could, we just have to move forward from it.”

Davis not happy with Chicago Bears

Senior wide receiver Titus Davis said he’s been learning from film how he can improve Saturday against Buffalo. He had no answer for his hometown NFL team, the Chicago Bears. “I knew it was coming,” Davis said with a smile. “Don’t want to talk about it.”
