VAMPIRES ‘Undead’ teams battle for roller derby supremacy

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

Zombies and vampires from across the state went head to head in a heated battle Saturday night at the Spinning Wheels Arena in Mount Pleasant.

Behind the makeup, women of all ages came together to celebrate their love of roller derby.

Beginning with a less-experienced bout at 6 p.m., the mixed scrimmage hosted the home team, Central Michigan Mayhem, and members of several other groups including the South-central Michigan Renegade Rollergirls and the Ann Arbor Bruising Company.

The only requirement to compete was that skaters must have completed a roller derby skills test.

Sabrina O’Neil of Alma and Jessica McQuarter of Linwood, also known as Flash Fatale and Curvy Q, were members of Central Michigan Mayhem in 2010 when the group was formed, and said they are proud of how far the team has come since then.

“There was a group of people who started it,” O’Neil said. “Some of them have come and gone. There’s a few of us left who are founding members.”

Both women attribute their interest in the roller derby to an early love of skating in their childhood.

“I used to do it as a kid like every weekend,” McQuarter said. w DERBY | 2A

Professor Jen Green has seen about 21 cases of academic dishonesty during her 12 years teaching at Central Michigan University.

That’s almost one case for every semester of every year the history professor has been at the university.

More recently, she’s seen two students turn in the same paper to two different classes. She’s also received papers reused from previous years and paragraphs ripped from Wikipedia.

CMU has no specific definition of academic dishonesty, but its policy lists behaviors that can be considered dishonest. Academically dishonest actions include cheating on examinations, plagiarism, fabricating information, submission of identical or similar assignments to two separate classes, misconduct in research and creative endeavors, using computer resources in acts of plagiarism or illegal activity and being complicit in another students violation of the policy. w ACADEMIC DISHONESTY | 2A

CM Life wins Pacemaker Award; first since 2010 CM Life Staff Reports

Central Michigan Life was named a 2013 national Pacemaker Award winner Saturday at the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Association Conference in New Orleans.

CM Life was one of 11 newspapers to win in the four-year, non-daily newspaper category. The Pacemaker is considered by some to be the highest achievement in collegiate journalism.

Aaron McMann, who served as the Spring semester editor-in-chief, was in downtown Detroit eating dinner when he first heard the news.

“It’s exciting to know that all the hard work put in last year paid off,” McMann said. “We had a bunch of big stories, which helps.”

McMann said what really pushed the paper over the top last year was comprehensive breaking news coverage and investigative reporting, including stories on the abduction of a CMU student and the arrest of professor William Merrill.

“One of the big things we had was the professor who was arrested for child pornography,” McMann said. “We handled it really well and followed up on it.”

Eric Dresden, the Fall editor-in-chief and current city reporter for the Pioneer newspaper of Big Rapids, said the Pacemaker has validated everything the staff has been working toward since its last nomination in 2010.

“We were very good at matching photo, design and investigative pieces up well,” Dresden said. “I think that’s one of the things they noticed. When we had very good stuff, we knew how to show readers how to interpret that information.”

The Pacemaker is awarded by the Associated Collegiate Press. CM Life was one of 22 finalists out of 300 national submissions. editor@cm-life.com

Central Michigan Mayhem has many new additions this year, some of whom still need to complete the skills test to compete, according to O’Neil.

Several students from Central Michigan University are included in the group of “fresh meat,” or inexperienced skaters.

“I feel like we have more students right now than we’ve had in quite a while,” McQuarter said.

This is the third year that Zombies vs. Vampires has served as the theme for the team’s annual mixed scrimmage. Scattered throughout the seats were costumes, bloodstained clothing and face paint.

Katy Kildee | Assistant Photo Editor Covered in fake blood, a zombie team member circles the rink to warm up for a bout on Saturday at Spinning Wheels Arena.

“We wanted to come up with something that no one has really done before,” O’Neil said. “It’s always pitting people against each other.”

According to McQuarter, the mixed scrimmage is the most popular event of the season for the Mayhems. Tickets for the bout were completely sold out.

No matter the team of origin, the common thread tying the roller derby women together was a strong enthusiasm and love for the sport. A member of the South-central Michigan Renegade Rollergirls, Leigh Burrill, also known as General Leigh, said sport manages to combine elements of two very different worlds.

“I instantly fell in love with it,” Burrill said. “Just the mix of being athletic and being able to look sexy and feminine

drew me to it.”

Burrill and teammates responded to a Facebook announcement for the event, and were selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. Burrill said competing in a mixed scrimmage creates a more relaxed and fun-filled atmosphere and provides an opportunity to network with skaters from all over the state.

“Last year was my very first mixed scrimmage,” Burrill said. “I didn’t know what to expect, and I had so much fun.

It was crazy.”

This year’s mixed scrimmage derby had both a strong turnout and an exciting atmosphere, which was heightened by the skater’s commitment with costumes and makeup.

Other violations do exist but are not specifically mentioned in the policy.

Green addresses the problem in the classroom and makes extensive efforts to teach her students how to cite sources, but she said talking about the problem in the classroom doesn’t lessen the chances for academic dishonesty to occur.

“It’s an individual choice students make,” Green said. “I can’t stop them from doing it.”

Green said the rate of cases she discovers stays roughly the same year to year, but statistics from the Student Conduct Office show a rising trend at CMU. Forty-seven cases of academic dishonesty have been reported to the office since 2010. More than half of them, 26, were reported last academic year, compared to just three in 2010. Three cases have already been reported this semester.

Professors have a great deal of control over a student’s fate when academic dishonesty occurs. Professors, under the university’s academic integrity policy, are expected to discover violations of the policy and institute a conference between the professor and the

student. No other party needs to attend, and the student is not required to respond.

If, after completing the process, the professor believes there is a case of academic dishonesty, the professor may require a revision of the work, enact a reduction in the student’s grade or give a warning, a written notice that the student has violated the Policy on Academic Integrity and that further violations might result in additional sanctions.

The professor is encouraged, but not required, to report the matter to the Office of Student Life.

If reported, the student will have a chance to appeal by submitting a written statement to the instructor and dean of the college within a specific time limit. As soon as is practical, the dean will convene a committee comprised of faculty and students to hear the appeal and to make a recommendation to the dean.

The dean’s decision on the matter is final.

Director of Student Conduct Tom Idema said his office will usually only institute further penalties at the request of a professor. This usually includes a period of Disciplinary Probation and a fine. Suspen-

sion or expulsion is unlikely unless a history of academic dishonesty has been recorded.

Idema said it is crucial that professors report violations so a history can be established.

“If someone violated the Academic Integrity policy in the English department, and then did it again in the biology department, neither the English nor the biology (departments) would be aware of violations that occur in different departments,” Idema said.

Academic dishonesty appears to be found primarily within the lower level courses. Green said she finds the majority of her violations happen in her 100-level classes, while professor Kathleen Donohue, who teaches mostly graduate students and upperclassmen, said academic dishonesty is an issue she just doesn’t run across.

Green said the reason most students commit academic dishonesty is because they were strained for time.

“I think at least for me, if someone asks for an extension two days before it’s due, I’m likely to do it,” Green said. “I think a lot of (professors) would be reasonable.

Problem is, students don’t think that way.” university@cm-life.com

No contest plea entered for John Meixner Central Michigan University philosophy professor John Meixner entered a plea of no contest this month for a disturbing the peace charge at the Mecosta County Agricultural Free Fair in July.

The nocontest plea, submitted Oct. 2, will prevent Meixner from facing any future civil suits stemming John Meixner from the incident.

According to the Big Rapids Pioneer, Meixner was fined $345 for the charges.

He was allegedly observed photographing young girls from below the waist at the fair.

The Mecosta County Sheriff’s Department led the investigation. Police said the photographs “centered mostly on the buttocks and thigh area.”

Police also noted none of the photos contained faces and that each individual was fully clothed.

A warrant was issued, and Meixner was arrested on Aug. 7, Mecosta County Sheriff Todd Purcell said.

Isabella County sheriff might make move to Florida ‘Threads Best of the Best’ offers

Samantha Madar | Staff Photographer Models pose for photos after taking to the catwalk on Saturday in the Education and Human Services building.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski might be continuing his service in the Sunshine State come January.

After applying and being interviewed, Mioduszewski was offered the position of police chief for the city of Umatilla, Leo Mioduszewski Fla., about 40 miles north of Orlando.

“They were advertising in some of the law enforcement journals,” Mioduszewski said. “Nothing is definite yet. I’ve been offered a job, but nothing beyond that.”

Whether the sheriff gets the new position depends on a number of factors, including proper certification.

If he is certified, Mioduszewski would not assume the position until January 2014.

Mioduszewski already has ties to the area. He and his wife previously ran their own business in Florida. Starting off as a police officer and later being promoted to a sergeant in the Mount Pleasant Police Department, Mioduszewski has been the Isabella County Sheriff for the last nine years.

students chance to present favorite designs, raises more than $18K

By Adriana Cotero Senior Reporter

One look is never enough.

That’s why some of the designers from the annual Threads Fashion Show on campus had an opportunity to bring back some of their best pieces of work in a show this weekend.

The College of Education and Human Services’ apparel merchandising and design (AMD) and recreation event management (RPL) departments combined forces on Saturday to present the “Threads Best of the Best” fashion show for the first time on Central Michigan University’s campus. Dean Dale Elizabeth Pehrsson and First Lady Elizabeth Ross cosponsored the event alongside hosts professors Carol Beard, Tim Otterman and Lori Irwin.

“This event gives the community an up-close view of the designs, highlighting all the students accomplishments throughout the years,” Pehrsson said. “It’s amazing to watch both departments collaborate.”

The night was filled with desserts, designs and a silent auction of 22 pieces, helping students gain experience while raising money for AMD and RPL student scholarships in the process.

The showcase was created by a management committee of seven RPL students and two AMD student

producers. The showcase, which featured 15 AMD design majors, allowed the opportunity for the designers to display their “best of the best” designs from previously created collections.

Grand Rapids freshman Claire Kupris is an AMD major who modeled in the show to gain experience and to be involved.

“Someday, I want to be a designer, so to help me grow in this major it is important to have experience with both sides,” she said.

Each designer presented three or four collection designs. Riverdale senior student designer Jason Gagnon displayed a timeline of his progress.

“I showed a piece from every year, three different collections,” he said. “It was my chance to show how far I have come. I love the idea of this event and think there should be one every year.

It lets us have another runway opportunity and to dig up our older designs and relive memories.”

One hundred and seventy-five seats were available for a $30 ticket purchase, and the show was sold out one week prior to the event.

Manistee junior Lauren Henry was in attendance to view the catwalk Saturday night. Henry plans to design in the spring production of Threads.

“This is just another way for people to see the talents of the students here at CMU and what they can do with

their design abilities,” she said.

Platinum, silver and bronze Sponsors donated $1,000, $500 and $250, respectively. Including silent auction winnings and donations made during the night, the event fundraised a total $18,800.

All proceeds will be allocated between the two departments toward students’ professional development.

“Coming from a student running this, I think it is amazing to sell out and raise such a great amount,” said Macomb senior and event management committee member Courtney Watts. “Threads is always a hit show, so to be able to come together and put on a like show it a big accomplishment within itself.”

AMD faculty coordinator and host of the event Carol Beard said that the show was perfection.

“It was everything I hoped it would be,” she said. “This was a great experience for the designers, audience and students. People could actually view the little details since everything was so upclose. I am so proud of them all, I will probably just go home and cry because of how thrilled I am with the outcome.”

The Threads Best of Best show plans for annual returns, giving students further opportunities to showcase their unique talents. studentlife@cm-life.com

Slightly more than half of a typical freshman class at Central Michigan University will graduate with a bachelor’s degree within seven years.

Only 20.6 percent of students in that same class will graduate in four years or less.

According to a 2012 university report, persistence rates for firsttime freshman students over the past decade have remained at 75.4 percent or above. Of the most recent threeyear means, 76.9 percent persisted to their second year, 68 percent persisted to their third year and 64.6 percent persisted to their fourth year.

The report also detailed graduation times for an average freshman class, with only 20.6 percent graduating within four years or less and 47.6 percent graduating in five years or less.

“We aspire to help each person discover their passion,” Jason Bentley, director of the Office of Student Success, said. “Retention rates are one gauge – like the mileage on your car – and they help tell us if we are making good progress in helping students achieve their goals.”

The report also revealed that female students are statistically more likely to graduate within seven years at a rate of 59.7 percent, compared to males at 54.5 percent.

There are a number of services and initiatives that CMU is currently working on to help improve these numbers, including the Higher Learning Commission Quality Initiative, the expansion of academic advising and the online Advising Workbench.

“The more grit we have, the better,” Bentley said. “Individually and as an institution, we must articulate clear goals, work hard toward achieving them, and overcome challenges along the way using resources and support. No person or organization can be perfect all the time. We can, however, be gritty. We can collaborate, see challenge as a motivator, and use feedback to continually drive our improvement.”

Provost Michael Gealt also said high retention rates are crucial for university success.

“In my opinion, the most important factors are great advising and promoting student engagement,” Gealt said. “Advising is central to helping students progress toward their career goals and includes not only course selection but also helping students sort out all the possible careers open to students graduating in a specific major.”

Along with advising, Gealt cites active teaching practices as a way to achieve higher retention rates.

“Advising is central to helping students progress toward their career goals and includes not only course selection, but also helping students sort out all the possible careers open to students graduating in a specific major,” Gealt said. “We know that several programs are enhancing their level of active teaching practices, which are also known to support student success.”

First Sights and Sounds event a success, more to come

By Katherine Ranzenberger Staff Reporter

Painters joined guitarists on stage as they jammed and created works of art at the first Sights and Sounds event at Rubble’s Bar in downtown Mount Pleasant last week.

Tree Love Art Collective of Mount Pleasant put on the event as a fundraiser for Art Road, a non-profit organization hosting free art classes for schools that lost funding for their art classes.

“We think the art aspect is huge and love giving back to the community,” said Royal Oak senior and organizer of Sights and Sounds Gordie Morton.

“We did it last year and reached capacity. We want to utilize CMU students, as well.”

Morton said Sights and Sounds took about a month to fully organize.

Rubble’s Bar was packed by 11 p.m. with students painting, musicians tuning their instruments and others watching the spectacle take place.

“The whole idea behind the collective is to collaborate with other artists,“ said Traverse City senior Russell “Rain Language” Tandy.

Tandy was a DJ at Sights and Sounds and is a founding member of

Tree Love Art Collective.

“We’re trying to build a community on art, sharing art, showing what you can do,” Tandy said. “People are going to have a good time. It’s a really creative environment.”

Tandy said he wanted to share his style of DJ-ing, which he described as ambient, chill and groovy. He said he wanted to share the different songs he’s discovered as well.

“There’s a whole world out there (to be discovered) just by listening to new stuff instead of just songs you know,” he said. “Most bar scenes are the same.

I want to express some down tempo music you can chill to.”

Grand Haven sophomore Tate VerDuin was collaborating with another painter on a canvas near the back of Rubble’s Bar. The pair was working on a painting of an elephant sunflower.

“The music is my favorite part,” VerDuin said. “They’re pretty good. I think they need to do more nights like this.”

Rubble’s Bar was grateful to have a different crowd brought in by the different event.

Melissa Gross, the bar’s manager, said they were excited to have an event like Sights and Sounds happen at a local bar.

Taryn Wattles | Staff Photographer Royal Oak resident Kyle Smith, 21, paints on stage during TreeLove Art Collective Presents: Sights and Sounds at Rubbles on Thursday. The piece was later raffled off to Tawas City junior Lu Colby; the proceeds of the raffle go toward Art Road non-profit.

“It’s always good to get new people and new music and awareness in the bar,” Gross said. “Just getting people aware of the whole downtown scene and seeing local establishments is important.”

Students from all sorts of backgrounds came out to enjoy the experience of a different event. Macomb Township junior Candace VanBuhler said she really enjoyed the event.

“I’d come every week if there was an event like this,” she said. “I think this is awesome. This is what I like to do.

There are never any shows in Mount Pleasant where you can check out live

painters and music like this.”

VanBuhler said she enjoyed the music the most because of its vibes.

“It’s not mainstream Wayside music,” she said. “It’s organic.”

Tree Love Art Collective plans to host more events in a bigger venue throughout the semester and the rest of the school year.

The best day of my life Before you read any further, take a brief moment to set aside all the generalities and stereotypes you probably have about any number of people. The story I’m about to tell you is very true, and very awesome.

Let’s get this out of the way.

I’m blind, so the experience I’m talking about is extremely unique.

In the summer of 2012, I had the pleasure of driving a 1975 Corvette.

For those of you who live in southeast Michigan, there is what’s called “Downriver”.

Around this area, I went with my dad and some longtime high school friends of his to an automobile cruise. It wasn’t very exciting for me, but what happened after was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had.

It had always been a dream of mine to be able to drive. All legalities aside, I went with one of my dad’s friends, who’s kind of a kid at heart, so he didn’t mind the fact I was driving his beautiful blue baby.

As I sat myself into the driver’s seat and Mike got in the passenger’s seat, my heart began racing. I could really feel it now, but I still couldn’t actually believe I was going to be able to drive this thing.

Needless to say, Mike helped steer, since that was sort of his area of knowledge, and I gassed and braked appropriately.

We worked as a team, if you will, where he would give me verbal commands so I didn’t crash us into any light poles, street signs or even at one point, a cop who we both waved to.

It was a beautiful summer’s afternoon. The windows were down, the sun was hot, a smile was plastered on my face and the wind was whipping through my hair.

We were cruising a good 60 miles per hour at some points, and I loved just hearing the engine go full throttle on the wide open road.

It’s something you can’t particularly describe unless you’ve experienced it.

I think most people take the ability of being able to drive for granted. Most people can just jump in their cars and drive, and they don’t give it a second thought.

This was a whole new experience for me. I was actually driving a car.

It was one of those once in a lifetime experiences I probably won’t have again, which is why that was probably one of the best days of my life.

EDITORIAL | Policy on Academic Integrity not strict enough

E

very syllabus in every section of every class has a portion dedicated to an explanation of Central Michigan University’s academic dishonesty policy.

Although the policy is always mentioned and examples are provided, the university fails to provide a specific definition of what qualifies as an academically dishonest practice.

In addition to blatant copying and cheating, students can also face punishment for failing to cite sources and for submitting the same assignment to multiple classes. Students even face consequences for plagiarizing themselves.

When reported, the Office of Student Conduct documents the incident and might initiate a formal proceeding for disciplinary action. However, it’s not required that instructors report any incidents at all.

That’s where the structure of academic integrity is failing.

Generally, students who violate the policy for the first time would be

Blame athletics department for early exits TO THE EDITOR: I noticed your appeal in (last week’s) CM Life for students to remain in the stadium to support the team in the second half.

If you examine the history of Kelly/ Shorts Stadium, you will discover that up until 2004 this was not a problem.

Kelly/Shorts Stadium had some special traditions.

Brian Kelly arrived and re-arranged the stadium.

For the first 32 years of the stadium, CMU students had a reason to arrive early and stay late at all the games.

Until then, the CMU team was on the east sideline and the band was on the 50 yard line directly behind the home team. Many students would line up early on football home game days to get first come, first served prime seating behind and around the band

between the 30 yard lines.

This provided the team with great student support until the end of every game. Visitors were appropriately shuffled off to the end zone.

Brian Kelly decided he wanted his team to be on the west sideline. So, to comply with NCAA rules, we had to move our band out from behind the opponent’s team and down toward the end zone. Ignoring the students who pay the bills and thinking they might make more money, the athletic department decided to make the east side reserved seating and shove the tuitionpaying students into the south end zone.

Now you have many empty seats on the east side and provide better seating for visiting cub scouts and high school bands than you provide for CMU students. The students lost the incentive to go into the stadium before the kick-

I’m a coffee addict I, Megan Pacer, am a self-proclaimed coffee addict.

It’s taken me quite a while to come to terms with my condition.

For nearly a year, I pacified myself with denial and a long list of excuses: I don’t really need it. I don’t buy it that often. I can stop any time I want.

Lies. All of them, lies.

There are several days a week when I feel I really do need caffeine just to function properly, I’d probably faint if someone showed me how much I spend on coffee each month, and I’m not exactly sure what would happen if I ever tried to stop. I’d also bet the fact that I’m writing this in a coffee shop is a pretty solid indication that I have a problem.

But how did I find myself in this predicament in the first place? How did I, along with hundreds of other college students, get pulled into such an addicting and money-sucking habit?

I can still remember my first encounter with the beloved espresso shot. It was a crisp fall morning, crammed around a table at the University Cup (may it rest in peace) with several other students for an Honors Program coffee tasting event.

That first sip, I’ll admit, was revolting.

When I recall it, I can’t imagine how someone who hated coffee as much as I once did could wind up a bona fide coffee enthusiast.

Maybe it was the long hours of studying that have only gotten longer as I progressed from a freshman to a junior in college. Perhaps it was the early mornings of volunteering, the 8 a.m. exams or seven-hour commute from school to home on the holidays.

My slow-growing addiction was probably due to a combination of all these factors, rather than one life-changing event. Whatever your reasons for drinking coffee, I encourage you to indulge the habit, but to proceed with caution.

The incentives to drinking coffee are nearly endless. It gives you a boost of energy, extra motivation and lifted spirits. And, let’s face it, it’s basically a sliver of heaven in a cup.

However, I’ve found that if I’m not careful, coffee can actually have a very negative effect on my productivity and general state of being.

One moment, I’m on top of the world, the sun is shining a little brighter, and birds seem to be serenading me as I walk through campus as if I’m some kind of Disney princess.

Cut to 20 minutes later, and I’m falling asleep in public as my body crashes and exhaustion sets in.

Moral of the story: Coffee is like Mother Nature. When utilized in moderation, it can provide endless happiness and improvements to human life, but when abused, it just might turn against you.

off since they are stuck in the end zone regardless of all the empty seats on the east side. Very few, if any, students arrive early to get into the game.

You might want to ask who is the genius that put together this year’s schedule with one home game from mid-September until late November, and finish the season with two of only five home games in the last two weeks of November, with Friday night of Thanksgiving weekend to conclude the year?

And someone thinks the athletic department deserves credit for trying to bribe the students into sticking around in cold rainy weather to win a cheesy T-shirt? Plan on continuing to watch the better high school recruits go elsewhere to play.

left with a warning and probably a decreased grade on an assignment.

By not requiring, but rather “encouraging” cases to be reported, the Office of Student Conduct is left with an incomplete history for every student, allowing each offense to appear as their first time.

For example, a student who is caught plagiarizing in a biology classroom would essentially be given a chance to cheat in an English classroom — receiving nothing but another warning, when a repeat offense might have called for further punishment.

Professors often take it upon themselves to dole out punishments as they see fit, ignoring the system of formal proceedings and appeals at the Office of Student Conduct.

While avoiding an incident report might be more streamlined and give

professors more disciplinary control, it undermines everything the academic dishonesty policy was created for.

Documenting each case of academic dishonesty a student commits is essential to its enforcement.

It allows the university to properly utilize discretion when dealing with first-time and repeat offenders. By allowing dishonest students to cheat from subject to subject, receiving possibly nothing but a warning each time, the policy is ultimately ineffective.

Enforcement of the university’s academic integrity policy is impossible when incident reporting is optional.

Although requiring each case to be reported would call for an exponentially larger amount of investigations and formal proceedings, it would establish a clear stance on how CMU deals with cheating.

In addition to ensuring that warnings actually function as a deterrent, mandatory reporting paired with consistent enforcement would ultimately dissuade those who think cheating is the answer.

Rocky Horror promotes community, provides unique source of entertainment

By Elizabeth Benson Staff Reporter

Amid a flurry of fish net stockings, feather boas and leather corsets, hundreds of overzealous moviegoers rose in unison and began to dance along to the age-old classic “Time Warp.”

For several years, the Broadway Theatre, 216 E. Broadway St., has hosted Alpha Psi Omega’s presentation of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”— the campy and kitschy movie musical from the ‘70s that has turned into a pop culture classic with a cult following.

Mount Pleasant junior Conor Hall has been attending the show at the Broadway for years, and has been involved in the production since last year.

“I’ve been going to the performance since I was 14, so it’s been one of my favorite events for a long time,” Hall said. “Now that I’m in the fraternity, it’s a

great opportunity, and not just because I get to dance around in garters and underwear.”

Fraternity members act out the movie on stage in front of the big screen, mouthing along to the lines and performing dance routines when needed.

Hall worked as an emcee at Friday’s show, sharing announcements and running the costume contests pre-show. He also played Dr. Frank N. Furter, the “sweet transvestite” who spurs the movie’s action on during the performances.

“The movie itself is absolutely ridiculous, so it’s a cult classic for that reason,” Hall said. “It’s just a lot of fun to dance and get dressed up and have costume contests and all.”

The fan’s dedication to the show was evident from the first moment in the theater, as people in bustiers and high heels crowded into the lobby of the theater a full hour before the show started.

Grand Rapids sophomore Daina Beebe attended the live show for the first time Friday.

“I’d seen the movie, read about the show in books and heard great stuff from my friends, so I knew I wanted to check it out. It was so much more fun than I’d anticipated,” she said. “It’s insanely fun to dress up and to be able to shout out things during the whole show. It’s not something you normally get to do in a theatre setting.”

The sense of community that is present at every show enhances the fun for the theater-goers.

“There’s a real community feeling when you’re out at the Broadway doing the “Time Warp” and call outs; you really feel like you’re a part of something,” Hall said. “Even if that something is based on a truly terrible movie.” metro@cm-life.com

CMU PINK hosts Yoga Pants Party at Wayside to celebrate new RSO

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Students took part in a Yoga Pants Party event at Wayside to show off their favorite skintight apparel on Saturday night.

CMU PINK, a group on campus that promotes Victoria’s Secret, promoted the event. The group, which came to be this semester, has two representatives on campus, as well as many volunteers who provide support for the company through events and free handouts.

“Basically, the event offered raffles for the new collection and the rest of Wayside was still open to the public,” Plainwell senior Kaitlyn Horton, a Victoria’s Secret intern and one of the CMU PINK representatives, said.

The doors at Wayside opened at 10 p.m. for the Yoga Pants Party, which was only held in the VIP section of the bar.

“We’re a new RSO,” said Annie Mackenzie, a senior from Plymouth and a member of Her Campus. “We’re nationally sponsored with PINK, too, and we want to help promote it on campus.”

The event at Wayside was co-sponsored by Her Campus, which is also nationally sponsored by Victoria’s Secret. The event featured a door drawing where participants put their name and number into a fishbowl and were entered for the chance to win an outfit from the Street Sport collection.

Megan Bayham, a senior from Ypsilanti and a volunteer for the Street Team, said there were a lot of freebees at the event and numerous chances to win PINK products.

“We have the fishbowl, where you enter your name and number to have the chance to win a PINK outfit,” Bayham said. “But we also have the PINK wall, where whoever

takes the most creative picture can also be entered to win.”

Other freebies also included foam fingers and drink coozies, as well as possible prizes for whoever had the most “PINKed-out” outfit.

As a volunteer, Bayham said she works to promote different events on campus and meets with the campus representatives to talk about them, as well as wearing PINK to promote the product.

“I think it’s going really well,” Maggie Mackenzie, a sophomore from Grand Rapids said. “I liked all the free samples, and I think it’s a really good partnership between CMU PINK and Her Campus.”

Horton said other events coming this fall for PINK include a fashion blogger event, a mystery campus box, a bra and panty party and a fashion show viewing party. studentlife@cm-life.com

SEHA helps to raise awareness for environmental health majors

By Taylir Emery Staff Reporter

F N S C O R L E A OW H 20 SI O 1 N O 4/ G LY 2 EA 015 R!

Students can now further explore the environmental health field through a new registered student organization: the Student Environmental Health Association.

“The environmental health major was just accredited by the National Environmental Health Association,” said Casey Glynn, a Midland senior and president of SEHA. “Now that it’s accredited, (the university) thought it would be a good idea for us to start this organization.”

Glynn hopes the RSO will promote and attract more students to the health professions program.

“We want to get people interested in environmental health and show how it’s applicable in life and explore different career options,”

Glynn said. “For the environmental health majors, it’s also sort of a social support group where we can share internship information and contacts and do activities to prepare us for our career.”

Northville senior and SEHA Officer Shelby Foerg hopes the RSO will debunk misconceptions about the profession.

“A lot of students don’t understand what it’s about,” she said. “They hear environmental and think ‘green,’ but that’s not what we do. Every business needs someone to manage their waste or their water treatment. It’s a major that you can get a job with right away or go to grad school with.”

The academic club strives to provide a learning atmosphere through fun activities.

One way they have done this is with a mock epidemiology study of “the zombie virus.”

“Epidemiology is the study

of population medicine as whole, instead of just individuals,” Glynn said. “We had the infection happen in Vancouver and performed interviews with friends and family members of those infected to see what they all had in common. It’s kind of like detective work almost.”

Each person received a character and checked off locations where people were exposed. At the end, checkmarks were compared and other influences were examined to determine where the exposure had started.

“It makes you take double look and see that what seems obvious might not be what really happened,” Foerg said.

SEHA is planning games surrounding zoonotic, or inter-species diseases and a tour of the Michigan Brewing Company at future meetings. studentlife@cm-life.com

Men’s basketball begins season against LSSU

By Kristopher Lodes Sports Editor

For the second straight year, men’s basketball will start the season with an exhibition at 7 p.m. today against Lake Superior State of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference.

Last season, the Chippewas started head coach Keno

Davis’ tenure with an 86-76 win in the exhibition. In year two, he’s expecting more out of the team.

“It seems like it was just yesterday I had the opportunity to become the head coach at Central Michigan,” Davis said during Media Day. “Really, a lot has happened with the men’s basketball program.”

It’s the third-straight season that the program has played an exhibition with a GLIAC school. In 2011, under then head coach Ernie Zeigler, the Chippewas played Northern Michigan and won 90-82, and then followed it up with an unimpressive 65-60 regular season win against Ferris State.

Times have changed in the

program. After one season as head coach, Davis, with his up-tempo offense, has put an emphasis on work ethic, believing that his team will be in a position to win every game this year if the work ethic is there.

“I’m not the type of coach who is going to be critical as long as we have the work ethic,” Davis said. “When

fans come to the game, they are going to throw their two cents in and they’ll be upset at times. That’s OK, as long as they don’t come out of McGuirk Arena thinking we got outworked. Our goal last year was to come in and be competitive. Now we truly believe we can win.”

Soccer needs help to grab higher seed in MAC tournament

finishing strong Senior Nicole Samuel scores game-winning goal in double overtime on Senior Day

By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter

Senior Day could not have had a more perfect ending.

The soccer team defeated Ball State 1-0 in a double overtime thriller Sunday afternoon at the CMU Soccer Complex.

Senior Nicole Samuel scored her second goal of the season on a breakaway attempt with just over six minutes remaining in the second overtime.

Samuel snuck past the defense and popped the ball just over the outstretched arm of Ball State goalkeeper Layne Schramm, igniting what the forward called a “flurry” of emotions.

“It was pretty emotional for me,” Samuel said. “Having gone through so much this season and my entire time here (at CMU) made it really special. I’ll really remember this for a while.”

Head coach Peter McGahey called the moment unforgettable.

“All the ups and downs this year and then to be recognized before the game was very nice for all of them,” McGahey said.

“To get a senior to score a very

good goal in one of her last games here on a day like today … that’s a memory that will last a lifetime.”

The memory would not have happened if it had not been for another stellar defensive performance from Grace Labrecque, who stopped all eight shots the Cardinals put on net.

Late in the first half, Labrecque made a diving save that kept the game scoreless after CMU blew a defensive assignment.

Labrecque might not have saved a rocket shot from the goal line Ball State put on just 40 seconds before Samuel’s eventual game-winning goal.

Thankfully, freshman defenseman Kaylin Hoomaian made a diving kick save to keep the game going, and the Chippewas scored on the ensuing offensive possession.

“It was a total team win.

These are the types of games we feel very proud about,” McGahey said. “Our confidence is key as we end the regular season and prepare for the postseason.”

The soccer team might not know it’s seeding in the 2013 Mid-American Conference Championship Tournament until the last possible minute.

With wins by Western Michigan (7-1-2 MAC), Eastern Michigan (7-2-1 MAC) and a tie by Miami (Ohio) (6-1-3 MAC) on Sunday, the Chippewas hold the No. 4 seed heading into the final week of the season.

CMU (7-3-0 MAC) will host winless Bowling Green (0-8-2 MAC) at 3 p.m. Thursday at the CMU Soccer Complex in the final game of the regular season.

The Broncos play the Eagles to decide the winner of the MAC West Division on Thursday. The RedHawks head to Ball State looking to secure the No. 3 seed on Thursday.

“We don’t dwell on rankings and standings and things like that too much,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “Since day one we have been taking this one step at a time and taking

care of what is in front of us first.”

In the event that WMU and EMU tie and MU loses, the Chippewas would have an opportunity to grab the No. 3 seed heading into the tournament.

The Chippewas only conference loses this season have come at the hands of WMU, EMU and MU. “Those are all really good teams,” said senior forward Nicole Samuel.

“We can beat them or anyone else if we stick to our game plan and play the way we know we can.”

CMU claimed an emotional victory Sunday when Samuel scored in double overtime on Senior Day to give the Chippewas a 1-0 win over Ball State.

Team leading scorer, junior Laura Gosse, said CMU would love an opportunity to knock off or surpass one of the three teams in particular.

“It would be really nice to beat Miami,” she said.

“They knocked us out of the tournament last year. It would make that victory a little bit sweeter.”

It happens every season in every sport.

That doesn’t take away the special feeling players get when they realize this will be the last time playing in front of the home crowd.

Six seniors on the women’s soccer team were honored in a pre-game ceremony prior to Sunday’s game against Ball State.

Head coach Peter McGahey said this day was special in that this senior class has been through so much to get to where they are today.

“This senior class has been on a journey of coaching changes and all other kinds of difficulties and challenges,” McGahey said. “To have them recognized before the game is tremendous, but to have them perform so well and to have a senior score the game winner is a memory

that will last a lifetime.”

Seniors Estee Outcalt, Tory Kinniard, Meghan Caldwell, Nicole Samuel, Grace Labrecque and Tammy Long all took part in the ceremony and were recognized for their hard work and commitment to the program for the last four years.

Each of these athletes has made major contributions to the soccer program at CMU as leaders both on and off the field.

Labrecuqe has been the heart and soul of this team in goal throughout the season by making game saving stops keeping her team in contention.

Although it doesn’t show in the box score, Outcalt and Samuel have provided the defensive prowess in locking down offenses all season, which helped in part to four-straight shutouts during conference play for CMU. w SENIORS | 2B

This will be the first look of the team in action against an actual opponent and will be the only look until the 2:30 p.m. matinee on Friday, Nov. 8 at home against Manchester.

Unlike last year, the Chippewas return eight letterman and four starters, whereas Davis was greeted with only five players total and one starter going into his first season.

One of those players who didn’t return was freshman guard Jorddan Myrick. While at CMU, Myrick appeared in 15 games, starting one.

After Zeigler was fired, many players left the team,

including Myrick, who transferred to Lake Superior State University. This will be the second game the junior will play in McGuirk Arena since his freshman year.

Myrick played 13 minutes in last year’s exhibition, scoring eight points while the student directed jeers toward him with “Traitor” and “We don’t want you.”

Myrick helped the Lakers to a 16-13 record overall and 8-4 in the GLIAC by leading in assists per game with 3.8. sports@cm-life.com

SENIOR DAY | CONTINUED FROM B1

Emily Brouwer | Staff Photographer Senior forward Nicole Samuel moves the ball down the field during CMU’s game against the Ball State Cardinals on Sunday at the CMU Soccer Complex.

Samuel said senior day was unique in that it was emotional knowing this was a sign that her career as a Chippewa was coming to a close.

“It was really emotional because you don’t realize it is one of your last games,” Samuel said. “It was a lot at the end of the game. I got really emotional. I really love playing with these girls and I’m going to miss them a lot.”

Offensively, Kinniard has been a consistent performer for the Chippewas. Coming into the weekend, she was tied for second on the team

with four points.

Long is just one of the senior players on the team who has displayed strong character and leadership qualities in helping out her younger teammates.

For Caldwell, she has been another strong role player for CMU, playing in ten games this season.

Samuel said she remembers when she was a freshmen never even thinking about this day, but now that it has come and gone she hopes the senior class has left something positive behind.

Even on a day when the spotlight burned brightest in her direction, Samuel refused to take total credit for the victory.

“Being able to get that goal for my team … that’s the important part; it made me so excited,” she said. “We trust each other. We don’t expect anything less than our best from one another. We do this for us.”

CONTINUED FROM 1B Although her season statistics might not reflect it, McGahey said Samuel, at times, is the best forward on the team.

The Chippewas took care of Missouri State on Saturday, moving their MAC record to 3-1.

Miami (Ohio) clashed with first place Kent State.

The Golden Flashes defeated the RedHawks 3-1, despite Miami taking an early 1-0 lead. The Kent State victory clinches the No. 1 spot in the tournament and the MAC regular-season title.

The win also means CMU’s match against Miami (Ohio)

means close to nothing to the seeds for the MAC tournament.

The two will play each other in the tournament six days after their regular season matchup.

“The game is big because we can still finish 4-1,” said head coach Cristy Freese. “It would have been nice to play Miami knowing that game could win it for you. The two and three seed will only make a difference on what jersey you wear.”

Kent State plays their rival Ohio University, a matchup that has a lot of meaning for the Golden Flashes. If Kent State is victorious it secures the MAC title outright, an undefeated MAC season and a win against

its’ biggest rival.

If Ohio loses to Kent State and Ball State defeats last place Missouri State, the Cardinals secure the No. 4 seed and the Bobcats see no postseason. Any other result would put Ohio with the No. 4 seed against Kent State in the first round of the tournament.

When the Chippewas faceoff with Miami, they will play on the same field for both the conference matchup and tournament.

“It will be nice to go down there and play on the field the weekend before, but it is six hours down, six hours back the next week,” Freese said. sports@cm-life.com

Senior Day honors seven players

By Morgan Yuncker Staff Reporter

Seven seniors took the field Sunday for the last time at the Central Michigan Field Hockey Complex.

With parents and some sibling teammates, the seniors were celebrated for academic excellence as well as team accomplishments.

“We came in with 10 and then dwindled down to seven,” said Baily McKeon, a senior honored in the event. “I think that made us closer. We did everything together. I think having good chemistry off the field definitely helps with on the field; you have to know when to draw the line and tell them what to do or what not to do, but essentially that is a big part of it.”

Other seniors celebrated on the day include Alexis Gersbach,

Simone Lazar, Julianna Makrinos, Bailey McKeon, Ellen Riley, Abby Roth and Skylar VanNatta.

“It’s a great group of seniors and it was nice for them and I think they were pretty inspired to go out together,” said head coach Cristy Freese Two seniors might have been more inspired than others, as McKeon and Riley both leave behind sisters on the team; sophomore Taylor McKeon and junior Maureen Riley. “(Bailey) is always kind of my outlet,” Taylor said. “If I was having trouble with practice or trouble with school she was always there. She is always giving me positive feedback.”

Not only will it be hard for younger sister Taylor to see her sister go, it will be equally as hard for Bailey to say goodbye.

“For Taylor I’d say that there are definitely going to

be difficult times.,” Bailey said.

“Everyone has them. I mean, you’re playing a Division 1 sport so it’s never going to be easy.

I think she just needs to keep going with it.”

Parents John and Lisa McKeon claimed next year will be bittersweet.

“It was fun to watch Bailey play her four years and to come back and watch Taylor play will be equally as fun,” John said.

However, Dad didn’t forget to sneak in some kind words about daughter Bailey’s years at CMU. “I think she has had a very good experience, she has had the ability to play some pretty good hockey,” he said. “She was lucky enough to earn a starting position as a freshman and I think she grew as a player, and certainly as a student.” sports@cm-life.com

Field Hockey fell to No. 13 Northwestern on Sunday 2-0 as the seniors took the field one last time.

The Wildcats came out shooting to start of the game, putting up three early shots with one going in four minutes into the half.

The Chippewas took two shots early in the game, and these would be the only shots they would get off in the first half.

At the 32-minute mark, the Wildcats struck again, scoring once more off a penalty corner, putting them ahead 2-0 going into the half. As the second half got stated, both the Chippewas and the Wildcats were gifted with penalty corners. Neither team scored.

“Statistically, by the end of the game it was a very close game,” said head coach Cristy

Freese. “Obviously you saw the difference in the game; the game was execution of the penalty corners.”

With six minutes left to go in the game, the Chippewas earned another penalty corner, as the ball bounced off many Chippewas sticks, a hopeful shot was taken by junior Jordyn Brengosz that would be blocked.

With under a minute left in the game, the team had one last chance at a goal with a penalty-corner but remained unsuccessful.

At the end of the game, the Chippewas remained scoreless as the Wildcats maintained control of the final seconds.

“Northwestern is a very good team and I thought we settled down better in the second half defensively,” Freese said. “It has kind been the theme of our season; we have to score more goals.”

SATURDAY

CMU dominated the first half of Saturday’s game against Missouri State in terms of scoring opportunities with six shots, three of them on goal to MSU’s one shot off and eight corners to MSU’s one.

The Chippewas failed to score on any of their shots, though.

It was different in the second half. On their ninth corner attempt of the day, the Chippewas scored on a goal by Brengosz 45 minutes into the game to take the lead 1-0.

Neither team would score again until the 70 minute mark, when senior forward Bailey McKeon scored on a penalty shot to expand the lead to 2-0 and seal the victory for the Chippewas.

“In the second half, we kind of took the game over a little bit offensively,” Freese said. sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball comes back to beat Akron

White, McIntyre lead weekend block party

By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

By Taylor DesOrmeau & Joe Judd Staff Reporters

Since Sept. 6, volleyball was 10-0 when winning the first set of a match and 0-9 when losing.

CMU (11-11, 5-5 MAC) changed that Saturday, losing set one to Akron (6-15, 0-10 MAC) 25-20, but taking the next three sets 25-17, 25-22, 2515 to win the match.

“I was very impressed with our team’s resiliency coming out of set one,” said head coach Erik Olson. “We made a lot of changes in terms of our passing defense and offense and did a great job pushing through and closing it out.”

Olson wasn’t stressed about losing the first set because the team didn’t have much information about the Zips coming into the match.

“What went wrong in the first set was we didn’t know anything about where they were going to start,” Olson said.

“Our team had to learn the scouting report as we (went), and that’s quite unusual this deep into the MAC season to see something like that.”

Saturday’s win gives the Chippewas their first weekend sweep of the season and makes them tied for sixth place in the Mid-American Conference standings with Northern Illinois. The top eight teams advance to the MAC Tournament at the end of the season.

Much of the credit goes to senior setter Kelly Maxwell, who recorded a four set season-high 55 assists in the victory while playing with an injury.

“I think this is the best I’ve felt since I’ve been back,” Maxwell said. “I think we’re managing it really well and my teammates definitely helped me that last part of the fourth set, so it was great.”

One of the turning points in the match was a 5-0 run from CMU in the second set when

Tianyu Han | Staff Photographer Senior setter Kelly Maxwell sets the ball for a teammate Friday in McGuirk Arena.

the game was tied at nine. Two big kills from senior middle blocker Danielle Gotham allowed CMU to take the lead for good in the second set to tie the match at one game apiece.

The South Lyon native had 10 kills Saturday and was one of four Chippewas with doubledigit kills.

“This week in practice, we really worked on transitioning and having the middles be up and early,” Gotham said. “I think we did that really well.”

Senior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre led the team with 19 kills and also had 14 digs and three blocks Saturday.

A 3-0 run in set three when the score was tied 20-20 – including a kill from sophomore defensive specialist Kristen Reenders — also helped CMU hold off Akron.

CMU finished off the fourth set on an 8-0 run, which included three service aces in the last four points from senior defensive specialist Jenna Coates.

FRIDAY

The Chippewas had complete control in the first match of the weekend, sweeping Buf-

falo 25-17 in all three sets.

“This was a very good win tonight,” Olson said after the match Friday. “Buffalo has been a much-improved team and I think their blocking is pretty good. We played one time, one heartbeat and this was a night where we felt like we did in 2011 during the MAC tournament.”

Sophomore middle blocker Angie White bested her careerhigh total in kills with seven, a number that was set by White just a week after she set her career-best total with five. Her fellow middle blocker, junior Hallie Enderle, also collected seven total kills on the night.

“This year, my mental process has been completely different and I have a lot more confidence in myself,” Enderle said.

The match started off with the Chippewas and the Bulls trading points early, but soon enough, CMU began to control the tempo.

“The whole night I felt that we were in control,” McIntyre said. “We were making (Buffalo) change and forcing them to do new things out there.” sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball went into Friday’s match against Buffalo ranked No. 234 in the nation in blocking, while Buffalo came in No. 11 and the best in the MidAmerican Conference.

Watching CMU take down Buffalo 3-0, you wouldn’t have noticed the discrepancy. The Chippewas out-blocked the Bulls 11-6.

“I think their blocking is pretty good,” said head coach Erik Olson. “That was the biggest worry we had. (Blocking) is a skill that we’ve been working on all season long and I’m very happy with that blocking performance tonight.”

Leading the way for the Chippewas was sophomore middle blocker Angie White with seven blocks, watching her career-high which she set last weekend. Two of her seven blocks were solo.

Junior Kaitlyn McIntyre set her own career best in blocks with six, three of which were solo.

Olson said the team approached blocking in a different way Friday since it knew Buffalo has some of the best blocking numbers in the nation.

“We actually did attack the blocking a little bit, different players at different times,” Olson said. “We respected their block and knew that it was a risky game plan, but we sure saw Western Michigan do it very well last weekend.”

Olson has talked about the need for his team to be the aggressor for most of the season, and CMU responded with energy right out of the gates.

Junior middle blocker Hallie Enderle was third best on the team with two blocks and also had seven kills, being one of four Chippewas to total seven or more Friday.

CMU recorded nine team blocks Saturday against Akron with the versatile graduate student Katie Schuette leading

with three solo blocks and an assist. McIntyre, along with senior middle blocker Danielle Gotham, had a solo block and two block assists. White also recorded two block assists. sports@cm-life.com
