FA to create its own survey of membership to review Ross By Alayna Smith Senior Reporter
The CMU Faculty Association will survey its own members to provide a review of University President George Ross. This is in addition to several leaders of the FA who have already been selected to be interviewed by the three-person Presidential Review Committee, chaired by Trustee Brian Fannon. Interviews with 75 people across campus and the larger community will take place the week of Nov. 12. FA President Laura Frey; Tim Connors, professor of communication and dramatic arts; and Joshua Smith, associate professor of philosophy and religion and FA president-elect were selected to take part in the interview process on Nov. 13. All three confirmed via email that they have been selected to participate but said they do not know yet what that process might be like. According to an email sent by Frey to the FA, the FA will create its own performance review survey of Ross. Frey asked FA members for input regarding topics and specific questions to be included. The survey is expected to be released in mid-November. The FA will also conduct its own performance review survey of Ross in mid-November. The FA Executive Board is currently seeking input from its members on review area topics and specific questions to be included in the survey. Presidential Review Committee member and Trustee John Hurd said presidential reviews have been done in the past. Ross was reviewed following his first and second years as president, Ross told Central Michigan Life last week. A FA | 2A
Former RB Austin White sentenced to one-year probation, fines By Aaron McMann Managing Editor
Former Central Michigan running back Austin White was sentenced to a one-year probation and more than $2,000 in fines and court costs Friday following his April arrest on campus. White, with his attorney Mary Chartier by his side in Isabella County Trial Court Friday afternoon, issued an apology to judge Paul Chamberlain, taking “full responsibility” for his actions. “I have no excuse for my actions,” White said, reading from a prepared statement. “But, like I have been told before, I do not weigh a man on his mistakes, but on how he responds to his mistakes.” White, 20, of Livonia, entered into a plea agreement on Sept. 21 to charges of delivering and manufacturing narcotics, possession of narcotics and maintaining a drug house. CMU police arrested him and former teammate Joe Sawicki in April after detectives said the two grew psilocybin mushrooms in the bathroom the two shared in their Celani Hall room. Prior to Friday’s sentencing, Chartier asked Chamberlain to consider probation for White and not issue a jail sentence. White has matured as a person and is ready to be a “productive member of society,” Chartier said. A WHITE | 2A

Ghost town Attendance issues plague home football games: Athletics confident tickets will reach NCAA benchmark
Ryan Zuke | Staff Reporter
Derek van der Merwe said he is confident Central Michigan football will be in compliance with Division I attendance requirements, despite an announced attendance of just 10,172 at the football game Saturday. “We are going to be compliant,” the Deputy Director of Athletics Derek said. “There (are) a couple of different ways to reach for compliance, and we are going to use one of the two mechanisms to be compliant.” When submitting its report to the NCAA at the end of the season, CMU athletics can use either a headcount system or a paid ticket system. Whatever system it uses, the average attendance number must be at or above 15,000. “If you use the paid system, you can make sure you don’t end up below 15,000,” van der Merwe said.
“Other groups can buy tickets; sponsors can buy tickets that help you get to that provision. That’s how other schools in the (MidAmerican) Conference have done it.” After next Saturday’s home game against Western Michigan, van der Merwe said CMU athletics will gain a better understanding of which method it might use to comply. “The Western game is a big game for us,” he said. “We always have very strong attendance at Western, so once we see where we are at after Western week, we can
figure out how things are going to line up going into the last game of the season.” CMU athletics announces the estimated attendance after every game, but that number includes student groups (band, cheerleaders, working staff and possibly players), which cannot be used when submitting its final attendance numbers to the NCAA. So far this season, the average estimated attendance is 17,791. Last year, the average estimated attendance was 15,291, but CMU athletics reported to the NCAA that it was 10,466 — well below the Division I benchmark needed once every two years. But beginning this year, CMU Athletics is using a new method to estimate attendance. It is using scanners for all tickets. “We are continuing to test the scanning,” van der Merwe said.
“Obviously, it’s going to provide greater accuracy.” However, van der Merwe said just how much more accurate the scanner readings are will not be determined until after the season. “Our estimates are still preliminary estimates until we sit down with the auditors,” he said. “I think we are trying to be as careful as possible, making sure they are as close as possible to what the audit numbers will be.” With seven home games on the schedule this season including matchups against Michigan State, Navy and WMU, attendance was expected to see a major increase. But after a crowd of 35,127 Sept. 8 against MSU, CMU has failed to hit the 16,000 mark in any of the other four home games thus far. A ATTENDANCE | 2A
Dance workshop immerses students in African-style movement By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter
Performer, educator and choreographer Karen Prall has moved her body to the beat of the drum for 30 years. As a bossy little girl, she said she would take her friends in the yard and make them dance how she wanted. She then stumbled into African-style dancing in high school and has shared her passion with dancers ever since. Artistic Director of University Theater Heather Trommer-Beardslee took a class at the American College Dance Festival with Prall in March 2012 and was captivated by her teachings. “As we were going across the floor and she was talking and teaching, I knew we had to get her to CMU,” she said. Trommer-Beardslee’s dream became a reality when more than 40 students participated in multiple workshops Friday through Sunday, learning dance from Congo-Brazzaville in Central Africa. With three drummers, students moved with the rhythm. “This type of dance is low to the ground, the knees bent,” Prall said. “It’s different, because they are used

to legs straight or up, lifting the body. Now I’m telling them to get down.” Standing in parallel position is not easy for dancers, she said. The dance incorporates different pelvic movements, circling the hips and working the head. Muskegon sophomore Misti Conley said she felt the intensity taking her first African-style dance class. “It’s very similar to hip-hop, which I’m more accustomed with,” she said. Conley said in order to submerge into the dance, the culture must be understood. Prall said she felt love from the students and their willingness to learn a different style of dance. Even if students didn’t catch on right away, they “worked it” until they had it down. Trommer-Beardslee said, each day, students were less afraid to make mistakes and were more engrossed with the movement, culture and history. Fraser senior Eric Miller said he found his body could move in different ways than before. He said he was impressed with Prall and her passion for each student to learn. She would take extra time to pull students to the side and slow things up, he said. “It was completely new, and nothing was holding me back,” he said.

Prall founded the Art of Motion Dance Theatre in 1986 and has performed in venues in the state. She has been an instructor of the dance department at Wayne State University since 2000. She is also director of the first African dance company at Wayne State, “To Sangana.” At the end of the last session Sunday in Rose 127, students gathered in a circle and would come to the middle
joining different dance moves into one. “It’s the drumming that makes you want to move,” Prall said. “It’s all about the rhythm.” She told students to use what they have learned and make it their own. “My heart is dance,” she said. “I will dance until the day I die.” studentlife@cm-life.com

247 employees to receive $600 checks for participating in CMU’s wellness program By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University will reward 247 employees for making healthy life choices through participation in the university’s wellness program. “Ca$h in on Wellness” is a program with four components encouraging good health practices. Employees who completed all four components of the program will receive $600. The money comes from a gain-share fund, which is the result of a positive cash balance in the university’s health plans at the end of each fiscal year, which occurs when claims for the year are lower than expected. In order to determine the amount received by each person, the balance is divided by all eligible employees. This year’s payout was capped at $600 per person, although that cap has been removed for the 2012-13 fiscal year. Funds left by employees who don’t participate are divided evenly and put toward wellness programs and the university’s general fund. “At the end of the day, we want to strive for good general health,” University President George Ross said Tuesday in a meeting with Central Michigan Life staff members. “It costs less for us, and a huge plus is
that our employees remain healthy.” The four phases of healthy living that must be fulfilled in order to receive the stipend are: the completion of a health risk assessment, exercise for 30 minutes a day, three days per week, get an annual physical and lab work and participate in four wellness screenings or programs. “Gain-sharing is a part of our wellness program to help make healthy living a priority,” Lori Hella, associate vice president for Human Resources said. “It is a challenge to complete all four phases. (Exercise) seems to be the hardest portion, while some is a challenge of just tracking.” Just over 16 percent of the 1,490 employees eligible to participate completed all four components, which translates to 247 people. More than 850 employees completed at least one component in the last fiscal year. “I think it’s been a great program, and it greatly impacts their benefits cost,” Hella said. “Last year, we saw around a 20-percent increase.” The wellness program was originally launched in 2006-07, with payment added as an incentive the following year. university@cm-life.com
ers from SGA and RHA, and other important figures across campus and throughout the community. Individuals not interviewed are also encouraged to send in their feedback to the three-person Presidential Review Committee. Following the completion of the interviews, the committee will compile a report to submit at the Dec. 6 Board of Trustees meeting, where Hurd expects most of the information to be made public.
Ross said this review is standard policy and has nothing to do with tensions between the faculty and administration last year during contract negotiations. “I don’t think the review has anything to do with last year at all,” Ross told CM Life during a meeting last week. “It just has to happen between years three and five, and the board chose to do it this year.”
direction, and now after backto-back 3-9 seasons, and this year not looking much better, people are getting frustrated.” Freshman Mitchell Schrader said he believes the team’s performance plays a role for students deciding to come to the game, but the main factor is the weather. “I think the weather really affected this game (Akron),” Schrader said. “It’s pretty chilly out. If it was nice, I think a lot more people would be out here.” And the small crowds do not
just affect the CMU athletics program. Zimmerman said it must be deflating for the players to look up in the stands and see the abundant number of vacant seats. “It’s got to be depressing for the players when none of the students show up to watch,” he said. “I mean only three rows of the student section were filled today. That’s got to be at least a little bit discouraging.”

“Mr. White has done a lot of introspection of his life,” she said. “If you asked him a year ago if he’d be standing here in a court room, pleading guilty to drug charges … It’s been a wake-up call. He feels embarrassed for his family.” His father, Michael White; mother, Karen White; and brothers Mitchell and Miles each wrote letters to the court in support of Austin. White was granted Holmes Youthful Trainee Act status, eligible to youths between the ages of 17 and 20 who have committed a crime and are serving prison time or probation. If White complies with all terms of his probation, the conviction will be removed from his record. Prosecutors attempted to block White from being granted HYTA status, citing pending legal issues in Wayne County and an “uncharged felony complaint” failed in Isabella County last fall. White was charged over the summer with two separate home invasions in his home town Livonia, one of which is alleged to have occurred in November while he was a member of the CMU football team .“I’m
a little perplexed that the prosecutors don’t want to grant HYTA status but have information they don’t want discussed,” Chamberlain said. “He has not plead or been convicted in Wayne County … he stands innocent as far as I’m concerned. “For me to project the charges in Wayne County, I’d be remiss. For me to look at an uncharged felony against him, that’s dangerous.” Senior assistant prosecutor Stuart Black recommended Chamberlain sentence White to a short time in jail and longer probation sentence than Sawicki (one year) and Dearborn sophomore Kevin King, who was charged in April with delivering and manufacturing narcotics. White and Sawicki were kicked off the CMU football team by head coach Dan Enos in April. King, a defensive back, remains with the program, having served a two-game suspension at the beginning of the season. “Your behavior is unacceptable, reckless, foolish,” Chamberlain said to White before issuing his sentence. “Your idea was to make money off a criminal enterprise. That’s immoral … and not a good choice.” Chamberlain also lifted
White’s restriction to leave the state, allowing Austin to join his father in Illinois, where he is the principal at Bolingbrook High School. His mother has remained in Livonia and has accompanied him at recent court appearances. During past court appearances, Chartier said White plans to continue going to school and playing football in Illinois. A 2010 graduate of Livonia Stevenson High School and standout running back, White committed to the University of Michigan before transferring to CMU for the 2011 season. Under NCAA transfer rules, he was required to sit out the season, during which he was “indefinitely suspended” by Enos for undisclosed reasons. White’s suspension was lifted prior to the 2012 season, and he was expected to be the team’s top running back before he was suspended again prior to the program’s April spring game. He never played a game in a CMU uniform. White and Chartier declined comment after sentencing, with Chartier forwarding all questions to her Lansing office. news@cm-life.com

Prediction markets see Obama as favorite By John Irwin Elections Coordinator
Much of the political news cycle is devoted to poll tracking, but online prediction markets are quickly becoming a new way to measure who is winning an election. Prediction markets like InTrade, Betfair and the Iowa Electronic Markets allow Internet users to bet on who they believe will win elections countrywide, and, right now, the markets favor President Barack Obama over Republican nominee Mitt Romney in the presidential race. PredictWise, a website that averages the odds of the InTrade, Betfair and IEM, found Barack Obama Obama with a 65-percent chance of winning, compared to 35 percent for Romney, as of Sunday afternoon. The markets, while Mitt Romney certainly a flawed tool for measuring a candidate’s chances of winning, provide an opportunity to see how public opinion, or, rather, the collective conventional wisdom of traders, shifts in real-time instead of waiting for days for a new poll. “Markets like Intrade are very imperfect,” Justin Wolfers, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania, told the New York Times. “But they are also very useful. And when you need an election forecast in real time, I’m confident that they are better than the alternatives.” For example, following the first presidential debate, the consensus among both the public and talking heads in the media was that Romney won decisively, giving him a much-needed boost after a rough few weeks on the campaign trail. Romney’s chances of winning were down to almost 20 percent on InTrade before the debate. As soon as the debate ended, Romney’s chances of winning increased drastically as more people placed money on him to win the election. At one point, Romney’s odds were as high as 49.5 percent, though his odds have since fallen in the wake of favorable swing state polling for Obama. The markets also allow users to place bets on who they think will win each state. While these markets are not traded on nearly as much as those for the national race and more traditional gambling fare like sports, they can provide a chance to gauge public opinion on the state of state races. For example, recent polls out of Colorado have shown a virtually tied race since the first debate, which took place in Denver. While it is now considered a toss-up, Obama was previously considered the favorite to win the swing state. InTrade’s data had the odds of the Republican nominee winning Colorado as low as 24 percent before the debate, but the numbers have since moved more in Romney’s favor. InTrade now gives him a 49.5-percent chance of winning, down from 60 percent a couple weeks ago. metro@cm-life.com

Trevor Dicicco thought the food on the plate in front of him wouldn’t be that bad to eat. Until he took that first bite. “This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted,” the Sterling Heights senior said, having just dined on pigs feet and buttermilk.
This wasn’t a typical Friday night for Dicicco. He consumed this as part of the “Breakfast for Dinner” challenge in the “Face Your Fear at CMU” event hosted by students in an RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events at Finch Fieldhouse. “It didn’t even taste like food,” he said. “I would’ve thrown up if I had taken another sip of the buttermilk.” The event raised $32 and had 75 cans of food donated, which will go to the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen,
621 S. Adams St. Sixteen contestants competed in a variety of challenges including transporting multiliquid concoction from cup to cup and having to feel what was inside a box while blindfolded. Ludington freshman Megan Franklin was eliminated from the competition during the “Fill Er Up” portion of the competition, where contestants had to transport a concoction of ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, orange juice and more from one cup to the other. “It was horrible,” Franklin
said. “I tried not to swallow it.” Clarkston sophomore Aaron Wright attended the event to cheer on his brother in the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, who was a participant in the contest. He said he was glad to help give back to the community through a monetary donation. “The best way to find yourself is to give selflessly to others,” Wright said. He said the food and money raised at the event, no matter the amount, helps the community.

Copper Beech adding 10 buildings for fall 2013 By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter and Rachel Harrison Staff Reporter
Copper Beech Townhomes is planning to add 10 buildings with 256 bedrooms, a pool, tennis court and a basketball court to its 4750 E. Blue Grass Road housing complex. The project will cost an estimated $8 million. The Charter Township of Union Board of Trustees Wednesday approved a special use permit to rezone property on Bluegrass Road. The land has been rezoned from commercial property to multi-family residential property, allowing the complex to build at least five new units across the street from its current location. “The buildings will be ready for next fall for the 2013 school year,” said Woody Woodruff, zoning administrator for Union Township. The commission also has plans to construct Commons Drive, a new road extended to Isabella Road, giving Copper Beech a second exit, he said. Supervisor John Barker said the construction of a new road will help by giving residents an option to have another entrance. “It would be nice,” Barker said. “A lot of people will take the southern exit and head back into town that way.”
The planning commission said the new apartments will not have any significant impact on the surrounding properties. The additions are estimated to bring about $1 million in tax revenue to Union Township, Woodruff said. Copper Beech is currently working with Union Township to expand for more upscale student housing to be built. The rezoning request was submitted July 26, and a public hearing was held Aug. 15 by the planning commission, which then recommended approval to the board. “The property is currently owned by Isabella Bank as collateral for the previous development,” Woodruff said. “It is my understanding that the purchase is contingent on getting zoning approval. Typical condition of sale of use where there are numerous steps with discretionary approval.” Calls made to Copper Beech Townhomes were not returned. - Metro Editor Hailee Sattavara contributed to this article. metro@cm-life.com

Rocky Horror Picture Show at Broadway Theater sells out through weekend By Adam Niemi Senior Reporter
Yelling quotes and lines during a movie in a theater is usually a just cause for being kicked out. But it’s encouraged at the Rocky Horror Picture Show, held every October at Broadway Theater, 216 E. Broadway St. The show was performed four times by the Alpha Psi Omega co-ed fraternity from Friday to Saturday, with showings at 8 p.m. and midnight. Each show began with a brief costume contest. The audience voted, with loud applause, for the sexiest male, sexiest female and most creative costumes. Then, the audience voted on the best “Rocky Horror Picture Show” costumes, based on characters from the 1975 film. Samantha Taylor, a Mayville graduate student and partici-
pant in the show, said the show sold out all four shows. “It’s kind of like Christmas for me,” Taylor said. “I get real excited for it. You feel like a rock star up there in front of the audience.” Taylor, who has been affiliated with the show for four years, said she thinks the event attracts such a large draw from the community because it allows people to be different. “You get to be something you’re not,” Taylor said about the different costumes in the audience and attitude of the audience during the show. APO has put on the show for more than 30 years, and students unaffiliated with APO also helped out. The sexual themes and vulgar comments from the audience during the show weren’t what Bellaire freshman Morgan Ritt expected.
“It was a little crazy,” Ritt said. “I didn’t expect it to be so outrageous. I thought it was great.” Jennie Wright, a Mount Pleasant junior, has gone to the show for years. “I’ve been going since before I was in high school,” Wright said after the 8 p.m. Saturday show. “It wasn’t the best I’ve seen, but a lot of people are involved, and it obviously takes a lot of work.” Wright said the show is good for an older generation of Halloween participants. She said the crowd participation is her favorite part of the show. “You get too old to go trickor-treating, so you go to Rocky Horror,” Wright said. “I like yelling stuff and singing. I also like that I don’t have to turn my phone off.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Eating healthy isn’t simple As I walk toward the Thorpe Hall cafeteria, I go over the intended meal plan in my mind. Fruit, chicken salad, water. Simple enough. And then I get to the cafeteria. And what do I see? Food and beverages that look much, much more tasty than fruit, chicken salad and water. Butterfinger cupcakes. Fresh pizza straight out of the oven, the gooey, melted cheese still steaming. A big, fat cheeseburger with perfectly seasoned, greasy fries. Well, you only live once, right? Right. And that’s the problem. You only live once, which means that, in my case, I’m going to die by 60 if I keep this up. What’s worse is that my weight doesn’t fluctuate as much. Fivefoot three and 120 pounds, I’m average. I’ve been blessed with decent genes. So since eating healthy or eating junk pretty much results in the same body, I choose the latter — although my fast metabolism might only be temporary. What I often don’t take into consideration is the possibility of poor health later in life due to consuming food with low nutritional value. Diabetes. Memory loss. A higher chance of disease in general. According to livestrong.com, an unhealthy diet can even cause night blindness, due to a lack of Vitamin A. A couple of short-term effects of eating poorly are exhaustion and mood swings. I think back to the past week. Yes, I felt tired quite a bit. Yes, I might have snapped at my roommate once or twice. Could it be because of the junk food I consume on a daily basis? Probably. The stress of classes, tests and projects are also factors, but I’m sure that eating garbage certainly doesn’t help. I know I don’t need junk food. A couple of weeks ago, I ate healthy for an entire week. I use the word ‘entire’ because five days of eating nutritional foods was a little painful for me. But during that week, I realized that the need for sizeable amounts of sugar gradually decreased as the health kick endured. So I survived. My cut-back of bad foods ceased once the following weekend hit. And I shrugged it off, as usual. But you know what? I think it’s time to stop shrugging the matter off. After all, I’d prefer not to have dementia, diabetes, fatigue, mood swings or (heaven forbid) night blindness. What I eat now affects both my current health and my future health. It took me years of brushing off the truth to finally realize eating healthy is important. And I think that Monday morning, starting with breakfast, is the perfect time to begin again. Hopefully, the chefs hide the cinnamon rolls.

P
No on Proposal 2
roposal 2 is an unnecessary and potentially harmful power grab by Michigan unions and could have harmful long-term effects on how the state
operates.
The proposal, if approved, would amend the state constitution to guarantee collective bargaining for both public and private employees and nullify many of the state’s existing collective bargaining laws. Virtually everything, even drug testing for police and firefighters, would be subject to bargaining. While unions have an essential role in a capitalist society and in protecting workers’ rights, this proposal is completely unnecessary. Sure, collective bargaining
has been under fire in states like Wisconsin and Indiana, but any real attempt at right-to-work legislation in Michigan has been shot down instantly, and there is almost no public pressure for any of those laws to be put into place. Proposal 2 essentially fixes a nonexistent problem and puts in place more road blocks for the state and local municipalities to get back on the road to prosperity. Much of the financial crises facing cities and towns statewide
can be traced back to the expensive contracts and pensions on the books for public employees negotiated by unions. The last thing those municipalities need is more red tape. At present, legislation already exists to allow unions to collectively bargain, but this proposal would make public employees subject to the wants and power moves by others. One voice can speak louder than a group of disorganized, unfocused voices, and people should be able to choose when to use their voice without being subjected to groupthink. Unions can be helpful in some instances, but people should be able to opt out of them if they choose to. Vote no on Proposal 2.

[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]
Sexualization of Breast Cancer Month saddening As Breast Cancer Awareness Month winds down, I am greeted with relief. The sexualization of breast cancer is not only on CMU’s campus, but it’s becoming a nationwide phenomena. Between “save the tatas” bracelets and “grope your wife” T-shirts, the fight against breast cancer is turning away from the movement of camaraderie and hope to a sexual exploitative campaign to make money. It saddens me that this new, degrading method of cancer awareness seems to be the new trend. What about the women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer?
What about women who must undergo mastectomies in order to survive? What about the thousands of men who get breast cancer? This sexualized campaign against breast cancer alienates all of these groups of people. It takes away focus on the person and only spotlights the parts. I am particularly disgusted with a group of CMU students who annually decorate the front of the Bovee University Center with bras to raise awareness for breast cancer. These actions turn away focus on the issue itself and turns a terrible experience into sexualized objectification. It treats women as being faceless body parts and fails to honor the
women (and men) who really are affected by cancer. There are real, hope-filled organizations in Mount Pleasant that promote dignity to women and families affected by breast cancer. One in particular is the Angel Wings Fund, an organization that works to assist families of breast cancer victims. I am disappointed that this Breast Cancer Awareness Month focused so heavily on women as sexual objects, and I hope that in the future the CMU community sees beyond “saving the tatas.” Brynn McDonnell Rockford sophomore
[YOUR VOICE] Online Reader comments on the Oct. 27 “Football team snaps fourgame losing skid, gets first MAC win against Akron“ story “Even if CMU did win six games.......which they won’t, do they deserve to get to a bowl game? A win against a 1AA, two one-win teams (Akron+Eastern), possibly two of the worst programs in Division 1, and a first-year Division 1 and winless UMASS team isn’t very impressive. If this team goes to a bowl game than that just further proves how ridiculous that system is.” -Student “Beating crAKRON is like saying we beat Mt. Pleasant High School. The attendance says everything about this program.” -CE “If CMU wins the rest of their games, they will probably get a bowl bid since there is a shortage of teams with Six wins to go to bowl games. Remember, Penn State and Ohio State are ineligible. Conferences like the Big Ten might have 3-4 teams that don’t
finish with six wins. So, it’s still possible, believe it or not. What was the actual attendance? How many showed? Did 10,000 show, or is that how many tickets they sold?” -michmediaperson Online Reader comments on the Oct 23. “AP lists Enos on top 10 coaches on hot seat; he says he’s not feeling pressure” story I am a 1980 Graduate...even when I lived two hours away, I made it to nearly all the home football games..I live in Mt. P now, and I am here to tell you ..I AM DONE..not another game until they get rid of Enos. Send him back to Sparty! -Tawasdave After Enos’ response, I would have asked, “What areas have you shown improvement in?” From where I’m sitting, there is no improvement. Also, Enos is working to rebuild the program that he tore down. When he came in, there was already sustained success. Ugh... -Mike
I can’t believe Enos said “No, I think we have (shown improvement)”! If this was a true statement, he would have more wins than losses! And then for Heeke to say they are still supportive of Enos? I guess Heeke will find out how supportive the students and fans are when 1) the students stop attending the games, and 2) fans stop contributing to the 1100 Club and attending the games! This situation is becoming even more pathetic than what we went through with DeBord! -centmich77 A failed experiment, a ruined program. There exists a Grand Canyon-size leadership void. The Board, the President and the AD can share the blame (but they won’t). We might have just enough juice to beat an Akron team, the caliber of a poor 1AA team, but don’t count on beating EMU or U-Mass in Amherst late in the season. Pathetic. -Admiral

Evolution of Halloween costumes Do you remember your first Halloween? I was a “Jackson-in-the-box.” Get it? It’s a pun. My parents are hilarious. Reflecting on Halloween growing up, I remember always going trick-or-treating with one of my neighbors at the time. I still remember a picture of us dressed as Darth Vader and Princess Leia when we were seven years old. I haven’t spoken to her since 10th grade, but I’m still friends with her on Facebook and, from time to time, her posts will pop up on my news feed. Friday, she posted a picture of her costume for this weekend: a ‘slutty’ cowgirl. Booty shorts that barely covered her butt, low cut and cut-up flannel to fully expose her cleavage and mid-section and a cowboy hat to complete the look. As I saw that picture, I couldn’t help but think, “Really? This is the same girl that I used to play house with, who used to dress up as an innocent princess?” But it’s not just her. It’s girls everywhere. This weekend, I don’t remember seeing too many modest costumes. When and why did the paradigm of Halloween costumes shift from film characters and athletes to anything with the word “slutty” thrown in front of it? The only answer I can think of is that girls think that they need to dress like that just to get a guy to notice them at a party. However, this explanation couldn’t be further from the truth. For me, seeing girls degrade themselves by dressing the way they do on Halloween is one of the biggest turn-offs. Before disagreeing with me, I want to ask the guys out there a question: Is that really what you want your girlfriend or future wife to look like? Do you truly want a girl whose cleavage and rear end is free and on display for every guy at the party? Do you really want to date the girl parading around the party like a Las Vegas stripper? That’s not romance, it’s just pathetic. Girls, if you feel the only way to get a guy to notice you is to dress slutty and show your boobs to everyone, please stay away from me, because you must have a painfully dull personality. Guys, think about your attitudes toward girls, especially on Halloween. When you see a girl in a suggestive costume, just think, is this the kind of girl that you want standing across the aisle from you one day? Think about how you see yourself; you don’t need to dress like a slut to be beautiful. You don’t gain popularity by choosing to dress like a slut; you lose dignity and self-respect. Have respect for yourself, because if you don’t respect yourself, no one else will.

MOUNT PLEASANT
State Sen. Judy Emmons opens office By Adam Niemi Senior Reporter
State Sen. Judy Emmons, R-Sheridan, opened her new Mount Pleasant office on Thursday. The office, located at 405 S. Mission St. Suite D, of the LaBelle Management building, was prepared with a food spread including pretzels, brownies, dips, crackers and bakery items. Emmons’ visitors included Mount Pleasant city manager Kathie Grinzinger, Isabella County commissioner George Green and other officials from Clare and Carson City. “I found the space while we were driving around in Mount Pleasant,” Emmons said, referring to her aide Laura Toy. “This will be a good, central location.” Emmons is a senator representing Michigan’s 33rd district, which includes Isabella, Montcalm, Clinton and Ionia counties, based on the 2000 census. The 2010 census will cause a readjustment of the 33rd district to include Isabella, Montcalm, Mecosta, Clare and Gratiot counties. She will represent the district until the end of
her term in 2014. Emmons said the Mount Pleasant office will be a good location to represent the counties and give residents of the counties a place to meet with Emmons when she will be in the office two to three days each month, beginning in January. A staffer working in Emmons’ office will run the Mount Pleasant office, which will be open three days a week. The Mount Pleasant office is the only office outside of the one she works from in Lansing. Specific dates and hours that Emmons will be at the Mount Pleasant have not yet been finalized. Emmons said she plans to announce those dates and times in the near future. Green said the office will be good for the residents Emmons represents but will be especially good for residents and officials in Mount Pleasant. “I think it’s excellent,” Green said. “If we have issues or questions, we call her, but, now that she has an office, we can meet with her. It’s face-to-face; you can do so much more. This means a lot.” Emmons represents more than 200,000 people in the four counties.
“It’ll make it easier for people to get assistance,” Emmons said of the new office. “Sometimes they need to bring in paperwork and other things for the help that they need. This will make it easier for people, and cheaper, because of the cost of gas to drive to Lansing.” Emmons said that half of her work involves revising laws enacted before her time because of the attitudes about the laws and unforeseen circumstances that require a change in some laws. Emmons said that much more of the in-depth knowledge she gains comes from committee meetings and speaking with the public about various issues, topics and concerns. But, Emmons said, the problem is getting the laws right. The Mount Pleasant office will fundamentally serve two basic purposes. It will give the public a location to get assistance, which for many is a shorter drive than Lansing. Emmons said it will also be a new avenue to listen to the public and gain enough perspective and knowledge that the laws won’t require revisions in the future. metro@cm-life.com

Soccer advances to MAC tournament semifinals with 2-0 win over Northern Illinois By Emily Grove Staff Reporter
A 2-0 victory over Northern Illinois Sunday kept the women’s soccer team season alive and secured them in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference tournament. After a scoreless first half, sophomore forward Laura Gosse headed the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute off an assist from freshman midfielder Josie Seebeck. Seebeck entered the game five minutes before her assist due to her skills under pressure. “She’s tactical and sees good opportunities; she’s an intelligent soccer player,” Central Michigan head coach Neil Stafford said.
“When you make a substitution like that and it pays off, it makes a coach look like a genius.” After getting the ball wide, Seebeck dribbled, cut in on a defender and crossed to set up Gosse for the goal. The goal was Gosse’s fourth of the season, tying her with junior midfielder Jennifer Gassman to lead the team in goals. “I was just trying to get around them and try to find those wide players, and the only thing I could think of was to hit the line and try to do something with it,” Seebeck said. CMU continued to pile on shots, out-shooting the Huskies 18 to four. NIU was unable to get off a shot on goal in the match. In the 83rd minute, senior for-
ward Laura Twidle extended to the lead to 2-0 with an unassisted goal from 15 yards out. It was her third goal of the season “It’s always nice to get the second goal from the game winner, so that it gives us more of a breather,” Twidle said. “It’s a good feeling to get that goal in this game.” The Huskies came out in the second half looking to get on the board first, with freshman forward Nicole Gobbo breaking away and shooting within the first minute of resumed play, but her shot went wide. Senior goalkeeper Stefanie Turner recorded eight saves in the shutout. ChuCk Miller /Staff PhotogRaPheR

team loses MAC Championship in double-overtime
Men finish runner-up at MAC Championships
By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Senior goalkeeper Anastasia Netto laid her body out, used her glove and kicked the ball out of the circle countless times to make 10 saves deep into double overtime against Kent Sate at the Field Hockey Complex. But it was not enough, as the Central Michigan field hockey team lost 1-0 Saturday in its regular season finale. A ball rolling quickly to the left side of the net got by Netto in the 100th minute, which nullified a shutout and gave the Golden Flashes the victory. “I think Anna (Netto) stepped up to the challenge,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “I think she always gets very motivated by playing Kent (State), because she knows that they are a very good offensive team, and she knows she’s going to see a lot of different shots.” Without the help of the offense, CMU lost its shot at its third MidAmerican Conference Championship in program history. “They gave it their heart and soul,” Freese said. “We certainly had opportunities to win it, but that was the game.” Freese said the team failed to expose the weakness of the Golden Flashes, which was their defense. A pressuring KSU defense caused turnovers but also allowed breakaways as a result. Junior forward/midfielder Abby Roth smacked a ball deep in CMU’s zone, and, after it ricocheted off multiple sticks, it rolled to the Chippewas breaking away from the Golden Flashes, but they failed on the opportunity in the 25th minute. Sophomore forward Cayleigh Immelman maneuvered to get a clean shot at goal in the 82nd minute. It nearly went through the five hole but hit the right side of the goalie’s left leg and bounced out. KSU came into the game ranked second in the conference in goals per game with 2.42. Northwestern was the only team to shutout KSU. “We were up to the challenge,” Netto said. “We know that they’re a very strong offensive team.” Netto said the Golden Flashes often lofted passes skyward, but that did not faze CMU as a result of Freese launching balls at the defense during practice. There was a large crowd to see the team try to win a MAC Championship. The 300 people who CMU said were in attendance were awed by one of Netto’s last saves of the game in double overtime. A KSU player lifted a shot that was about shoulder-high, and Netto causally blocked it with her glove. “I know she’s disappointed about that last goal, because we’re always talking about the short side,” head coach Cristy Freese. “But, you know, she played a great game. I’ll take that Anna any day of the week.”
The men’s cross-country team finished second overall at the MidAmerican Conference Championship meet in Buffalo, N.Y. this weekend with 72 points. It was one point ahead of third place Akron and Miami (OH). The underclassmen led Central Michigan this weekend, with sophomore Kyle Stacks finishing first for Central Michigan. Fellow sophomore Ethan Lievense finished second on the team, edging senior Jason Drudge out by one-tenth of a second. “The men ran quite well,” director of cross-country Willie Randolph said. “They ran as a pack; they ran away and matched well with the other schools out there. They worked together, and we’re able to pull further ahead, together.” Stacks finished the 8k race in 24:57.7. He finished only 13 seconds behind MAC Champion Terefe Ejigu of Eastern Michigan. “We didn’t get the ultimate goal, but we shouldn’t be too disappointed, because (we) fought as hard as we could,” Stacks said. “We’ll step it up for the regionals. We get stronger as the season goes on, and we’re learning from testing ourselves.” Lievense finished 12th overall with a time of 29:19.9. Rounding the scoring line-up was redshirt freshman Nate Ghena, who finished 20th in 25:29.1, and senior Matt Lutzke finished 22nd for the Chippewas. Junior Nathan Huff finished 28th, and sophomore Ben Wynsma finished 34th outside the scoring line up. Randolph was satisfied with the men’s performance and their unity. “Hopefully we continue going into the direction we want,” Randolph said. “We just came a little short of what we wanted this weekend.” Three of the men’s runners earned All-MAC honors this weekend. Drudge earned the distinction for the third consecutive year, while Stacks and Lievense received the honors for the first time in their careers. “It means a lot after all the hard work and teamwork,” Stacks said. “It’s a big jump from where I was last year, and it feels great to be where we are.” Randolph said he found the weekend bittersweet. “I am very excited for the student athletes,” Randolph said. “I am happy and proud, but I know that they would trade those individual titles for their whole team being up on the podium, so it’s a little bittersweet.” CMU will continue their season at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships Nov. 9 at Madison, Wis. “I think we’re ready; we’ve been training for this all year,” Stacks said. “We’re more confident with the longer distances, and we know we can beat the schools, as a team and individually.”

Junior running back Zurlon Tipton catches a screen pass during the first half of Saturday’s game against Akron at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Tipton finished the game with 37 carries for 243 yards and three touchdowns, all career highs. The Chippewas won 35-14 against Akron.
running solid Zurlon Tipton rushes through the Akron defense for a career day, 243 yards By Ryan Zuke | Senior Reporter
Head coach Dan Enos said he wanted to give junior running back Zurlon Tipton more carries after the Oct. 20 loss to Ball State. Saturday, he did — and it paid off greatly. Tipton had 37 carries for 243 yards and three touchdowns in Central Michigan’s 35-14 win over Akron at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The 243 rushing yards is tied for eighth-highest in Chippewa single-game history. “Anytime you leave a mark at your school, it’s an honor,” Tipton said. “But it wasn’t just me. The whole team stepped up.” Tipton has rushed for 10 touchdowns this season and is fifth in the Mid-American Conference in rushing yards with 871. “I think Zurlon is just starting to show people what he can do,” Enos said. “When we can get into a game where we have the lead, we can give him more touches ... that’s a good formula for us.” But because CMU trailed most

Junior running back Zurlon Tipton slips through the Akron defense during the first half of Saturday’s game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Tipton finished the game with 243 yards, good for eighth all-time in CMU single-game history.
of the time in the previous four games, Tipton did not receive as many carries as the coaching staff would like. Against the Cardinals, he averaged 7.4 yards per carry and had 126 yards on the ground, but the Chippewas fell behind early and were forced to try and move the ball through the air. Saturday, however, CMU wasted little time getting on the board first and never trailed in the game. On the second play from scrimmage, Tipton dashed down the visiting sideline for a 72-yard score. “When I got through the line and saw I had one guy to beat, I thought in my head, ‘Just please beat this cut, and you got it,’ and, after that, it was easy,”
Tipton said. Despite carrying the ball a career-high 37 times, Tipton said he never felt fatigued. “My confidence level just kept going up after every run,” he said. “I wasn’t tired at all. I was just ready for the next play.” Akron head coach Terry Bowden said he was impressed with Tipton’s ability. “The way that the Chippewas run their offense allows Tipton to be one of the core players on their team,” Bowden said. “When he is pounding those yards like he did throughout this game, it makes the game that much harder and longer. He is definitely one of the best running backs in the MAC.” sports@cm-life.com

Terezin was a prison to thousands of scholars, performers, musicians, actors, writers and philosophers from Central Europe. Overwhelmingly Jewish, these prisoners performed, created, taught, lectured and composed not merely as entertainment, but as necessity and nourishment, as critical to staying alive as eating and drinking.

Saturday’s win snaps four-game losing skid, Chippewas get first MAC victory By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
Report card for football team against Akron Saturday’s football game between Central Michigan and Akron was a must-win for CMU. Akron is a team that has won just one game all season and three games in the last three seasons. As it turns out, the Chippewas won easily and kept their hopes for a bowl game alive for another week. So let’s hand out some grades. Passing Offense: (B) Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff was efficient, completing 15-of-25 passes while throwing for 180 yards and two touchdowns. More importantly, he didn’t turn the ball over. Radcliff wasn’t asked to do much because of the success the Chippewas had on the ground. Sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis was Radcliff ’s favorite target on the day. He had four catches for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Rushing Offense: (A) Junior running back Zurlon Tipton ran for a career-high 243 yards on 37 carries, also a career high. He also scored three touchdowns for the second time this season. It was apparent Tipton was in for a big game from the start. He scored on a 72-yard touchdown run on the second play from scrimmage. Freshman Saylor Lavallii was effective as well, gaining 22 yards on five carries. Passing Defense: ( C ) Akron came into Saturday’s game as the top passing team in the MidAmerican Conference, and the Zips didn’t disappoint against CMU. Dalton Williams threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns. The Chippewas did intercept him twice, however – one by senior cornerback Lorenzo White and one by senior safety Jahleel Addae. CMU also played well in the red zone, stopping Akron on fourth down twice. Rushing Defense: (B) CMU allowed the Zips to rush for 140 yards, 92 of which were gained by freshman running back Conor Hundley. CMU didn’t allow any rushing touchdowns. It was a much-improved effort from a group that has struggled against the run this year. Special Teams: ( C ) Senior kicker David Harman missed his only field goal attempt from 41 yards out in the third quarter. Punter Richie Hogan was improved in the punting game, averaging 44.7 yards per punt. The Chippewas still didn’t gain much in the return game, however. Overall, special teams didn’t play a huge role in the game. Harman’s missed field goal is the main reason for the low grade. Overall: (B+) The Chippewas had to win this game against a weak Akron team. The game was at home, and CMU couldn’t afford to head into next week’s rivalry game with Western Michigan on a five-game losing streak. During Saturday’s game, the Chippewas got an early lead and ran the ball with Tipton, a ton. I think that’s a formula that could work for CMU in the future. A solid run game means Radcliff doesn’t have to throw as much, and that’s a good thing for the Chippewas.
Before Saturday, the last Central Michigan MidAmerican Conference win came Oct. 29, 2011 at Akron. Exactly 363 days later, the next MAC win for the Chippewas came; it was Saturday with a 35-14 score against Akron (1-8) again at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium in front of a 10,172 announced attendance. Junior running back Zurlon Tipton ran away any hopes Akron had for its first two-win season in three years with a career day. Tipton had career-highs for rushing yards, carries, longest rush and tied a careerhigh of three touchdowns. “We decided at halftime we needed to stay persistent with the running game,” head coach Dan Enos said. “The defense came out and got a turnover and three and out (after halftime).” CMU (3-5) scored two touchdowns in the first few minutes of the third quarter, taking a previously close game to 28-7, helping to snap a four-game losing streak. It all began when senior Bethany Walter /Staff PhotogRaPheR safety Jahleel Addae caught his second interception in as Senior defensive back Jahleel Addae tackles University of Akron sophomore running back Tyler Williams on Saturday afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Around the MAC: Kent State upsets No. 15 rutgers; ohio taken down By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
The Mid-American Conference is second only to the Southeastern Conference with six eligible bowl teams. The league flexed its muscles in non-conference play again Saturday when Kent State knocked off undefeated No. 15 Rutgers. It was the MAC’s second win over a ranked team in as many weeks. On a low point, the MAC’s only ranked school, Ohio, lost its first game Saturday.
keNT sTATe 35, No. 15 rUTGers 23
The Golden Flashes won their first game over a ranked opponent after 22 attempts, mostly due to six interceptions thrown by Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova. Kent State defensive end Mark Fackler had two interceptions, one returned 25 yards for a touchdown. Keith Spencer threw two touchdowns for Kent State.
MiAMi 23, No. 24 ohio 20
The Bobcats lost their undefeated record and top25 ranking on a last-second decision. Ohio could have attempted a short field goal with no timeouts and nine seconds remaining from the seven-yard line, but coach Frank Solich went for the win. Miami sacked the Bobcats quarterback Mickey Tettleton as time expired.

Chippewas defense holds strong in red zone, stopping Akron twice By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. The performance on the defensive side of the ball has been less than impressive through seven games this season, but, in game eight, it did enough to secure a win. “Our defense gave up some yards, but, overall, I think they played pretty well,” head coach Dan Enos said. “ The defense gave our offense some turns to possess the ball.” Coming into Saturday’s game the Central Michigan defense was giving up an average of 464 yards per game. Against Akron’s Mid-American Conference top passing attack, the Chippewas gave up 492 yards, but two stops in the redzone on fourth
down were huge for CMU. The first fourth down stop came on Akron’s first possession of the game, after the Chippewas scored. The Zips had the ball first and goal on the CMU nine-yard line. After two short completions from Dalton Williams to Keith Sconiers, the Chippewas stuffed an Akron run for no gain on third down. An incomplete pass on fourth down gave CMU the ball. The second came in the fourth quarter with the Chippewas leading 28-14. The Zips had the ball on the CMU six-yard line. The
Chippewas then forced threestraight incomplete passes after a short run by Akron to retain the ball and essentially ended the hopes of a comeback for the Zips. “Those fourth down stops were huge,” Enos said. Sophomore linebacker Justin Cherocci said after the game that, when the defensive unit is in the huddle in the redzone, the talk is about pulling together and making big plays. The Chippewa defense also forced two turnovers against the Zips, a pair of interceptions. “There were times in the game when the defense played very well,” Enos said. “We got some three and outs, and, as a result, the offense had a short field to work with.” sports@cm-life.com
two consecutive touchdown runs, then threw two straight touchdown passes. He finished the day with 274 passing yards, 136 rushing yards and six total touchdowns.
BoWliNG GreeN 24, eAsTerN MichiGAN 3
During the first possession of the game, Falcon running back Jordan Hopgood threw a 53-yard touchdown on a runningback pass, which was all the offense the BGSU defense would need. That defense held the Eagles to only 178 yards of total offense and out of the end zone – they also forced three turnovers.
Toledo 25, BUffAlo 20
The Rockets used three third-quarter touchdowns to reclaim the lead from Buffalo and take control of the game. Both teams scored in the first quarter from defensive touchdowns. Toledo running back David Fluellen rushed
for 228 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Rockets to their eighthstraight win.

UMass avoided a shutout halfway through the fourth quarter on a touchdown pass from the backup quarterback Deion Walker.

Women’s soccer can make strong postseason run Another Mid-American Conference title is within reach for the women’s soccer team, along with a slot in the NCAA tournament. After defeating Northern Illinois 2-0 on Sunday in the quarterfinals, Central Michigan will now face No. 6 Toledo Friday in Miami for the semifinals. Holding the No. 2 seed, the Chippewas are a solid

team that’s grown tremendously since the beginning of the season. Earlier this season, CMU bested Toledo 2-0. The Chippewas have only had two conference losses this season—Eastern Michigan and Miami (Ohio). Back in September, CMU fell to the Eagles, suffering their first conference loss. During that game, the Chippewas faced accuracy issues they haven’t encountered since. Offensively, CMU is in a better place than when it first played EMU this year. Since that game, the Chippewas have scored 17 goals. Sophomore forward Laura Gosse and junior midfielder Jennifer Gassman lead the team in scoring throughout the season with four apiece, while six other teammates have recorded more than two goals. There’s no denying the team is well-balanced in scoring and in no way one-dimensional in their execution. With a hunger for a third MAC title in four years, expect the Chippewas to come out full throttle on Friday and connect with their shots, unlike the first time
they played the Eagles. Assuming CMU clinches that win and moves on to the finals and the No. 1 seed Miami (Ohio) also remains, I foresee a completely winnable game for the Chippewas. The RedHawks handed CMU its only other conference loss after EMU in a 1-0 double overtime heart breaker. The Chippewas will look to avenge that loss and also give their senior class, which holds the most wins in program history (62), another title as they end their collegiate careers. The regular season game against Miami came down to one play that didn’t go right for the Chippewas. This time, it’ll work hard to make sure everything goes its way. As witnessed in Sunday’s win over the Huskies, the Chippewas have become a patient team. The game was scoreless midway through the second half, but CMU didn’t fall apart or become sloppy, even in a physical game with a lot at stake; it waited. The upcoming game, and presumably the one after, are some of the highest

stakes the team will ever face, but don’t expect it to be fearful or crack under the weight of it all. As the season has progressed, the team has continued to cope under pressure and come out on top, save the unfortunate outcome of the regular season Miami game. The Chippewas have what it takes
to come reclaim their title if they stay on the course head coach Neil Stafford has put them on and maintain their mental focus. It also seems likely for CMU to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament, maybe even regardless of a MAC championship. In the latest NCAA RPI rankings, the Chippewas are ranked 32nd
of 323 teams, the highestranked MAC team in the standings. Don’t be surprised if this team continues to win, break records and achieve new milestones for the soccer program; I know they won’t be. sports@cm-life.com
Volleyball continues Krista Parks leads women’s cross-country to 4th place finish to struggle as team suffers fifth-straight MAC loss By Anthony Rizzo Staff Reporter
By Morgan Yuncker Staff Reporter
Five straight losses. That’s what the women’s volleyball team has to deal with after being swept Saturday night by Northern Illinois in straight sets. The loss drops the Chippewas to third in the MidAmerican Conference West Division and sixth in the MAC. “We need to get our middles going; our offense is based on our middles and right sides,” head coach Erik Olson said. “The last three or four weeks, our outsides have had to carry a heavy load, and that’s not CMU volleyball.” Olson said he thinks he knows how to get back on track. “We have to fight, and I’m not talking about matches; I’m talking about practice,” Olson said. “Right now, every position needs to step it up.” The most recent losses came against Western Michigan and Northern Illinois, who both swept the Chippewas. CMU defeated WMU earlier this season. “We played a lot better, but Northern (Illinois)
played some of its best ball of the year,” Olson said. “Those are two good teams, and we’re working on getting back on the right track.” The losing streak started against Bowling Green when the Chippewas lost at home in five sets. The team hasn’t won more than one game in a match since the loss to the Falcons and has lost eight-straight sets. Following BGSU, the Chippewas went on the road and faced Buffalo and Akron where it fell to both teams in four sets. The loss to the Bulls marked just their second win the MAC season. “Our passing started to break down and struggle during the Akron and Buffalo weekend,” Olson said. “That kind of reared its head again (at WMU and NIU).” Prior to the losing streak, CMU was on a six-game winning streak and only had one loss in the MAC, which came from NIU. “We just have to weather the storm and fight for every contact and make it better,” Olson said. sports@cm-life.com
The women’s cross-country team finished fourth in its 6k at the Mid-American Conference Championships Saturday morning in Buffalo, N.Y. Central Michigan out-ran its projected placement, according to the regional poll, which predicted it to finish fifth. The Chippewas haven’t finished lower than fourth in the MAC since 2009. “We’re proud, because six of our nine women were freshmen. The girls came out strong,” Randolph said. “We are a bit disappointed, because we didn’t perform as well, but those younger girls speak for a bright future.” The top performer was junior Krista Parks. She led CMU by finishing sixth overall. Krista Parks She completed her race with a time of 21:52.1. “I felt real good. We put it together today,” Parks said. “You could tell everyone is
excited, and we did our best, and we are real proud of all our performances.” Parks was the only one of her team to place high enough and earn first-team All-MAC honors. Although Parks is thrilled with her finish and Randolph appreciates the hard work, Randolph would have liked a whole-team win. “I know that they would trade those individual titles for their whole team being up on the podium,” Randolph said. None of Parks’ teammates finished near her. Junior Shelby Thren finished 22nd in 22:19.4; senior Maddie Ribant finished 31st in 22:29.1. Following those finishes and rounding out the scoring line-up was freshman Kelly Schubert, who finished 34th in 22:32.2; senior Veronica Garcia finished 35th in 22:33.0. Redshirt freshman Alyssa Dyer finished 40th in 22.2, which concluded CMU’s participants. Despite not finishing the championship as well as the team would have liked, they are looking forward. “Once we’re done with the race, we try to forget it and focus onto the next one,” Parks
said. “There will be more people to run with (at regionals); we would like to place as high as possible. Eighth is our goal.” Randolph said he will not change his team’s preparation plans as the regional competition nears. “We have a plan,” Ran-

25-21 and 25-21. “We felt we needed a little (to take the focus) off (Kelly) Maxwell,” Olson said. “She has had a lot of pressure on her as of late.” Maxwell averaged 6.5 assists per set this weekend — well under her season average of 11.23 assists per set. “Her numbers have been down for a few weeks, and some of that has to do with passing, and some is a result of choices,” Olson said. “We need to get our middles going so we can get our offense around them.” It was much of the same Friday in Kalamazoo with the Chippewas being swept by WMU 25-17, 26-24 and 25-15. The offense had a MAC season low .106 hitting percentage, the worst since a .086 hitting percentage at

Volleyball swept by Western Michigan, Northern Illinois on the road this weekend The woes continued this weekend for the women’s volleyball team as it was swept in back-to-back matches at Western Michigan and Northern Illinois. Central Michigan has now lost five-straight matches and eight-straight sets. The slide has dropped CMU from first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division to third. Offensively, the Chippewas had a .124 hitting percentage this weekend, with 41 errors, while the Huskies and Broncos combined for a .289 hitting percentage. “We just fell short (this week),” head coach Erik Olson said. “One thing we have to work on is our connection with the middles; we’re probably not setting it enough.” Saturday, CMU was in DeKalb, Ill. at NIU where it went with a different starting lineup, looking to shake things up and create a spark. Sophomore middle blocker/outside hitter Hallie Enderle got the start after a Friday night performance where she hit a .294 hitting percentage with five kills. There was also shared time at the setter position between junior Kelly Maxwell and freshman Jordan Timmer. Maxwell got the start in all three sets with 21 assists, while Timmer recorded five. It wasn’t enough for the Chippewas, as they were defeated in straight sets 25-14,
dolph said. “We will continue to have a good mindset and reach our goal.” The Chippewas will continue their season at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championships Nov. 9 at Madison, Wis.
Michigan on Aug. 31. “We had some passing struggles, and (the Broncos) aren’t a great serving team, but they served different types of serves,” Olson said. “Very odd and very high and deep balls that are hard to pass.” Senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude had a strong night, leading the team with 10 kills at a .308 hitting percentage while recording 10 digs, which also led the team. CMU will return home at 7 p.m. Saturday when it takes on Ohio after traveling to Eastern Michigan 7 p.m. Thursday. “We get to sleep in our beds the rest of the season,” Olson said. “It’s going to be crucial for the rest of the stretch here.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Both schools fired up as Western week begins
No. 15 Michigan blanks Chippewas, 1-0; KSU up next
By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
Dan Enos was relaxed, funny and easy-going in his press conference after the Akron win Saturday. But when the Central Michigan head coach was asked how the Western Michigan game is different, his tone sharpened. He became more serious, direct and intense. Why? Because its Western week. “People are very passionate about this game,” Enos said. “It’s one of the best rivalry games in the country – it’s intense.” He also reminded the media that CMU didn’t play well last week. And Enos said the team will enjoy the Akron win for 30 seconds Sunday before watching film of last year’s game. Those players will see WMU’s Jordan White catch 13 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns as a part of a 44-14 beat down in Kalamazoo. In the first season, Enos was at CMU in 2010, he beat WMU, one of two Mid-American Con-
ference wins that season, also the last time the Broncos came to Mount Pleasant. “We know it will be crazy in Mount Pleasant,” WMU Alex Carder said during MAC Media Day this summer in Detroit. Carder has been injured most of the season and won’t play Saturday – but you could feel the passion from the WMU side of the rivalry before the season even began. It is not all hatred between the schools. “Everybody on the team dislikes them, but I love Western,” CMU running back Zurlon Tipton said. “I say that because, when we play them, it makes everyone want to give their all and play their heart outs. And I love that. I love the atmosphere.” The rivalry continues at 1 p.m. Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “We’re going to have to strap it up,” Enos said. “You can take their record and our record and whip them out the door. It’s going to be fun.” sports@cm-life.com
continued from 1B Netto said she was not frustrated by the lack of help from the offense. “I have all the faith in my team,” Netto said. “Onehundred percent faith in my offense; one-hundred percent faith in my defense. They know what they’re doing, and they’re working their butts off.” The Chippewas also lost at home to Kent State in double overtime last season. Their last three games, which they have a 1-2 record in, all needed extra minutes to decide the victor.

Earlier in the season, the Chippewas defeated the Huskies 2-1 in double overtime — a physical match where CMU played with 10 players for 83 minutes. Sunday’s game was also aggressive, with 10 fouls on the Chippewas and eight on NIU. Freshman midfielder Christen Chiesa was given a yellow card late in the first half. CMU (14-5-1) will be in action on Friday in Oxford, Ohio for the semifinals against Eastern Michigan or Toledo. EMU (12-6-1) is the No. 3 seed in the tournament and handed the Chippewas their first conference loss this season. Toledo is the No. 6 seed in the tournament and lost 2-0 to CMU in regular season play. Stafford said the team will continue their mentality of taking things one game at a time. “We’ve got to take care of business on Friday,” Stafford said. “We’ve got to go through everybody at some point to get the MAC championship.”
“I’m going to spend the entire spring season practicing overtime,” Freese said. “You always think about the 70 minutes, why would you practice overtime? But I think in the spring, maybe, we’ll practice overtime.”
The field hockey team played even with Michigan for all but the first 17 minutes of the first half Sunday at the field hockey complex. The No. 15 ranked Wolverines capitalized in the fifth minute, scoring the only goal of the game to win 1-0 by making a long pass that rolled by multiple Central Michigan defenders to Aisling Naughton, who shot past diving senior goalkeeper Anastasia Netto. “They had us spread out. We just weren’t ready. But we learned, and we didn’t let any more goals in after that,” senior back Emily Girasole said. “We proved ourselves, considering we played (Michigan), and I think we played a really good game.” Girasole, the leader of the defense, said she texted the defenders words of encouragement after their 1-0 double-overtime loss against Kent State Saturday that cost them a Mid-American Conference Championship. Head coach Cristy Freese said she was proud of the way the team rebounded. The Chippewas were mentally and physically exhausted from 99 minutes of game action Saturday, Freese said. She was worried before the game started, because the team was quieter than usual. “We’re walking out of the locker room, and some of my seniors are in tears, and I’m thinking, “okay this is going to be a struggle today,” Freese said. “We struggled a little bit initially.” U-M controlled the game until CMU caused a penalty corner in the 18th minute.
The Wolverines withheld a goal but no longer had complete command of the game. Junior forward/midfielder Bailey McKeon had one of many interceptions made by the Chippewas in the following minutes and missed a difficult shot as U of M collapsed on her. The Wolverines did not have any penalty corners in the first half but earned five in a 10-minute span, starting at the 40th minute. CMU’s defense held steady, sometimes not even allowing the U-M to get a shot off.

Molly Barker, MSW, founded Girls on the Run in 1996. A fourtime Ironman triathlete, she used her background in social work, counseling and teaching, along with research on adolescent issues, to develop the program. Today, there are Girls on the Run councils in over 190 cities across North America serving over 150,000 girls and women each year. The “Girl Box,” a phrase coined by Molly, describes the imaginary place many girls go around adolescence, where cultural and societal stereotypes limit choices as well as opportunities. Molly’s idea is to create a social movement which provides girls and women with the tools and the courage to see and eliminate their own buy-in to the Girl Box and its limiting messages. Molly has been featured in People, Runner’s World, Glamour, Self, Shape, Redbook and Woman’s Day. She has authored two books, “Girls on Track: A Parent’s Guide to Inspiring our Daughters to Achieve a Lifetime of SelfEsteem and Respect”, and “Girls Lit from Within” which is specifically for 3rd-8th grade girls.
