LIFE

Administrators, shocked students and members of the Mount Pleasant community gathered together to watch a team of divers remove the body of an 18-year-old Dearborn Heights man from the pond in the Fabiano Botanical Garden at 7 p.m. Sunday. Michael Anthony Hartnett was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:10 p.m. by the Isabella County Medical Examiner. Sherry Knight, associate vice president of university communications, said it is too early in the investigation to determine the cause of death. CMU police received a call from Hartnett’s father 2:15 p.m. Sunday reporting his son was missing. Police and a group of Hartnett’s friends began a search near St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Park Library and spotted a body in the pond, which is 6 to 9 feet deep in some places,shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday.

The Isabella County Sheriff’s Department assisted CMUPD with its Dive Rescue Team. The team arrived on-site at 5:31 p.m. and created a barrier made of tarps and Mount Pleasant Fire Department trucks to shield their work from view. According to CMU police, Hartnett was last seen walking on Washington Street near St. Mary’s church at 2 a.m. Sunday. His father told police that he is an insulin-dependent diabetic. An autopsy will be performed Monday as police continue their investigation. Anyone with information about Hartnett should contact CMUPD at (989) 774-3081. As students became aware of the situation through social media, more arrived on the scene to watch the search. The atmosphere became more somber as the night progressed and students could be seen consoling one w police | 2

Chippewas keep conference title hopes alive with 28-10 Homecoming victory

LIFE INSIDE EDITORIAL: National Newspaper Week highlights the importance of the press »PAGE 4

Former and current Central Michigan University students watched alongside one another as their football team’s two most prevalent names led the Chippewas to its third victory of the 2014 season. Wide receiver Titus Davis and running back Thomas Rawls accounted for 91.2 percent of CMU’s yardage in its

28-10 victory over the Bobcats. It was the first victory for the Chippewas on Homecoming Weekend since 2009 and snapped a three-game losing streak. About 18,200 people attended the game. “We’ve played a pretty difficult schedule so far,” said Head Coach Dan Enos. “I just want to say how proud I am of this team right now. Last week, we had a lot of guys that felt like they didn’t play very well. We challenged

them heading into this one.” Davis caught a career-high 10 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Rawls carried the ball 40 times for 229 yards a pair of touchdowns of his own. With a Western Michigan loss on Saturday, the Chippewas sit at third place in the Mid-American Conference West Division standings behind Northern Illinois. The Chippewas head to DeKalb, Ill. Next Saturday for a showdown with

the Huskies. A week after surrendering nearly 600 yards in a blowout loss to Toledo, the CMU defense held Ohio to just 187 yards. The Bobcats were a miserable 3-of-12 on third down. “We got exposed last week,” said defensive back Tony Annese. “We wanted to make a statement. Our defense as a whole got after them.” w football | 2

Alumni Village unites generations of Chippewas By Arielle Hines Staff Reporter

The music of a past generation and the laughter of old classmates filled the air of the Alumni Village. The Alumni Village was a free homecoming event all weekend near the Rose ponds that was open to alumni and students. Spirited displays of CMU pride varied from younger alumni, with young children dressed head-to-toe in maroon and gold, to older couples with Chippewa apparel linking arms.

Alumni swarmed to several tents sponsored by all the academic colleges and other Registered Student Organizations. New Era senior Casey Ten Brink was there representing the College of Science and Technology. She said she comes to the village every year for the free food and atmosphere. “Everyone is inviting and willing to socialize,” Brink said. “There are more generations here than the student tailgate. It’s more low key and calm.” One tent specifically was designated for alumni who had

graduated 50 years ago. James Wynes, who graduated with his undergraduate degree in 1962 and stayed to earn his master’s degree in 1965, said has come back to campus with his wife, Mary Ellen more than 25 times. Wynes said many things have changed since his days as a student. When he first came to CMU, there was less than 5,000 students. He said he remembers back to when the university was named Central Michigan College. His old residence hall Bar-

nard, and Mary Ellen’s, Tate, has since been demolished. Wynes said he enjoys being around the older part of campus. Michael and Jamie Radjewski, both graduated in 2007 and met during in the first weeks of school in their freshmen year, while the two were living in Wheeler Hall. They have since come back to the university many times. “It feels like home,” Jamie said. “The atmosphere is really awesome; it’s great to see how the campus has changed since we graduated.”

CM Life takes more than 20 MPA awards By Adrian Hedden Managing Editor

Although it took second place in the general excellence category, Central Michigan Life took home the most awards from this year’s Michigan Press Association contest. The student-led newspaper of Central Michigan University won 22 awards from the contest that evaluates campus newspapers for editorial content, page design, multimedia and advertising. CM Life took home eight first place awards, five seconds, six thirds and three honorable mentions. For their months-long coverage of the Delta Chi fraternity, and the ensuing campus investigation, CM Life editors Justin Hicks, Ben Solis, Adrian Hedden and Nathan Clark won first place for investigative reporting. “Thorough investigative coverage of a frat’s suspension for misbehavior at a party,” judges said. “A FOIA request brought out the facts that were not revealed otherwise. Balanced reporting with lots of input. Multifaceted approach worked

Steve Smith, director of public relations, said it took some time to assemble the dive team, whose members live across the county. CMUPD Chief Bill Yeagley praised the work of police officers and emergency personnel. “We want to thank the students, CMU Counseling, the staff of St. Mary’s, the Isabella County dive team, Mount Pleasant Fire Department and Mobile Medical Rescue for coming together in what clearly is a tragic incident,” Yeagley said. “The officers and all first responders on-site did a thorough job while also supporting Michael’s family and friends. Our hearts and prayers are with all of them. The incident left a mark on spectators, who were not addressed by CMU officials at the scene.

well. Comments from readers following the stories were interesting. Timeline of events in one story was helpful.” CM-Life also won third place in investigative reporting for Sports Editor Malachi Barrett’s look into the reported attendance at CMU football games, against the NCAA requirements. University Editor Ben Solis also won first place for news story, for his incremental reporting of a CMU professor accused of being inebriated at work. Reporter Mark Johnson was awarded second place in this category for a story about some health concerns investigated at a building on campus. Metro Editor Adrian Hedden won first place in the feature story category for his story on an abandoned Native American boarding school near campus. CM Life swept the editorial category, taking first, second and third place for three editorials coordinated by Voices Editor Kyle Kaminski. Senior Reporter Katherine Ranzenberger and photographer Shannon Millard won first place in the multimediareporting category, for their

multi-faceted coverage of the annual zombie walk in Mount Pleasant. That category also saw CM Life win a second place award for coverage of a zombie vampire roller derby by reporters Megan Pacer and Katy Kildee, and an honorable mention for Hedden’s feature on a blind news reporter. The sports news and features category saw CM Life take a third place award for reporter Jeff Papworth’s coverage of two brothers meeting on the gridiron, and an honorable mention for Assistant Sports Editor Dominick Mastrangelo’s article on a two-sport athlete. For feature or sports photography, CM Life won three awards. Second place went to Kildee for a shot of a soccer player injured on the field. Third place was awarded to photographer Taylor Ballek for coverage of popular hip-hop artist Big Sean’s performance on campus. An honorable mention in this category went to photographer Daytona Niles for coverage of victory from CMU’s women’s basketball team.

For the front-page design category, CM Life staff took second place for a front page from Jan. 13. Art Director Mariah Prowoznik was awarded third place for another front page layout. Prowoznik also took home a first and second place for inside page design. For a single ad, CM Life’s advertising staff won first place for an ad for the Slower Donkey’s Festival. The advertising staff also won first place for a special advertising section titled Apartment Life. “The university community should be very proud of the achievements of our student journalists,” said Dave Clark, director of student publications and CM Life’s adviser. “I want to thank our student editors for their leadership and our entire team for its tenacity and creativity.”

Defensive end Blake Serpa pointed to the CMU offense, which scored a pair of touchdowns on its first two drives of the game. “When the offense can do that, it is going to make it hard for the other team to get any sort of rhythm,” he said. Davis, who caught CMU’s first two touchdowns, said it was a “mindset of desperation” that led to the unit’s best performance of the year. “Something that we said the last couple days was fourth-and-goal,” Davis said. “Just play every play like it’s fourth-and-goal, and we did that. We needed this win bad. Anytime you lose three straight, that’s rough.” As the CMU defense held, Enos wore the Bobcats linebackers down with his most productive power back: Rawls. The Flint-native fumbled on his first carry before going on to have a career day. “As a running back,

there’s no excuse,” Rawls said. “It did kind of get me upset. Sometimes, certain plays get you going a little bit, just a little bit of motivation. It did ring the bell in my head to say, ‘hey, you’ve got to make up for it,’ and that’s what I did.” With a Western Michigan loss on Saturday, the Chippewas sit at third place in the Mid-American Conference West Division standings behind Northern Illinois. The Chippewas head to DeKalb, Ill. Next Saturday for a showdown with the Huskies. Enos said his team got back on track with a win that keeps CMU’s MAC title hopes alive. “We certainly did not play perfectly,” he said. “But we have to maintain this intensity … this mentality. We can’t have a dip now. We can’t lose focus. “Don’t believe a word (the compliments) say.”

Larzelere Hall placed second with their performance of a 50’s skit on Friday at Rock Rally in Plachta auditorium.

Students go back in time for Rock Rally By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

Plachta Auditorium was over full capacity Friday evening when the Marching Chips started off this year’s Rock Rally with a bang. Students chanted with pride for their school and alumni gathered to watch everyone kick off homecoming weekend. Before the show began, the football team was introduced and the cheerleaders were brought out to pump up everyone before seeing the main performances. The Homecoming Committee talked about how they raised over 1,700 dollars for United Way to help people achieve their full potential in academics and in life. The “decades” theme was in full swing, starting off with Phi Mu Alpha doing hits from the 2000s. Their performance included a live band, singer and popular hits from Sean Kingston and Muse. They even brought out an Ohio State sign and sang, “We will be victorious” to get the crowd going. Next on the stage was Calkins Hall, who started out their performance of the 1970’s decade with the That 70’s Show theme song. They then moved into songs by Marvin Gaye and Queen, where they did a well-choreographed version of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The next group to put on a show was Cobb Hall. They did a very interesting version of the 1990s. Instead of going along with certain songs by artists of

the 90s, the performers decided to spice it up by bringing back the hit shows that everyone could remember. “We wanted to make decades a little bit more personal,” senior Alisha Harper said. “We can all relate to the shows of the 90s. Music is one thing, but we wanted to stand out and bring back memories that everyone knows and loves.” Between the performances there were many guests like Andrew Dost from FUN, who received the special engraved CMU blanket and Central’s all male A Capella group “Fish ‘n’ Chips.” There were about 15 teams signed up to perform for all of the guests, as well as special guest Ben Schul-

ler, who is also an alumni. Each team had to come up with its own music mash-up as well as choreograph their performances. The homecoming ambassadors also got to make an appearance and speak to the audience. The final 2014 Gold Homecoming Ambassadors, Lydia Miller and Chuck Mahone, were announced at this event and cheered on by fellow students. “Working with the ambassadors is really fun,” sophomore Libby Bradley, coordinator of Rock Rally, said. “It was my first year on the event board and I’m glad I got to learn from everyone involved. Hearing what everyone is involved in makes me want to be more involved too.”

Some performances that really stuck out from the rest were Larzelere Hall, who did a 1950s theme and Sweeney Hall who had the 1940s. Sweeney’s performance included a little history lesson referencing New York City, the ‘We Can Do It!’ campaign and the kiss that ended the war. Larzelere’s performance was a modern day twist on the classic musical film, Grease. There were over 50 performers and they included some swing dancing, lifts and ballet. The group even had all matching outfits and did the hand jive. “This was my first year at Rock Rally and Larzy’s performance was definitely my favorite,” freshman Anna MacDoug said. “I love how spirited everyone is and how we just all come together to have an awesome time. Each group of performers put an individual spin on their decade and had fun while doing it. Even the Program Board and Office of Student Activities did their own performances. This whole event could not have happened without the help of students, participants and the Office of Student Activities and Involvement. “Seeing people put in so much effort each year is so great,” senior Ashley Burpee said. “It’s not about necessarily winning, it’s about the school spirit and celebrating homecoming together.”

Homecoming parade unites CMU students, alumni By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

West Campus and Main Street were lined with maroon and gold Saturday morning. Students, alumni and Mount Pleasant residents were strung across the streets waiting to see what each float had to offer in Central Michigan University’s Homecoming Parade. The two-mile parade began with the cheerleaders getting the crowds pumped for homecoming by holding up signs and doing the chants everyone knows and loves. Shortly after, CMU President George Ross and his wife rode down the street waving and smiling to the children and people of Mount Pleasant. “Homecoming is an exciting thing

because it really brings people together,” said Monroe senior Lisa Hughes. “It’s bittersweet knowing that once I graduate I’ll be able to come back and celebrate Central, just like all of the alumni here today.” Behind them was Fun. keyboardist and CMU alumnus Andrew Dost, this year’s Grand Marshall, in a red topless jeep. He donned a CMU baseball cap and alumni sweater. The homecoming ambassadors were being carried down Main Street on a horse drawn carriage, and the “10 within 10” winners followed behind them on their own float. Some floats played classic rock music including the Beatles. One had a bright yellow “Here Comes the Sun” sign on their float. There was also a Super Mario float, Campus Life, Beddow Hall’s 1920s

portrayal and a “Central Diner” float. The New Towers’ float had a 1970s theme with lava lamps and a sign that read “Right on.” Some others included one portraying the 50s and Larzy’s 80s float, which read “Sweet Larzy of Mine.” There were students dressed like they were from the 80s, and a giant rubix cube. “This was my first homecoming at Central,” said Livonia freshman Colin Flavin. “I wanted to be a part of it and I didn’t have any 80s clothing, so I volunteered to be the Rubix Cube. It’s awesome to see so many students participating and fired up for homecoming.” Some candidates for senate and state representative were also walking along side the students and alumni. One of these candidates was Brian Mielke, who was waving at people and

inviting students to join them and pass out candy to kids. “I asked one of the guys running for office if he’d kiss my baby, jokingly,” said North Carolina senior Mike Davis. “He laughed and kissed my face instead.” Everyone was out and about this Saturday afternoon just being a family. It didn’t matter whether or not students were in a fraternity or know alumni, everyone just came together to celebrate. “As a senior in a fraternity, homecoming is really important to me,” Davis said. “It’s great getting to see all the alumni from Sigma Pi have a place to come back to and find a home here. I’ve met so many people that have done amazing things for us and the community, it’s just a great experience to be a part of.”

Students launch boats made of cardboard to victory Rachel Schuit Staff Reporter

Crisp, cold air persisted as almost two hundred engineering students gathered Saturday to participate in the cardboard boat race at the Rose Ponds near Kelly Shorts Stadium. Students in the EGR 120 class were required to participate in the race. The students are given one hundred “boat bucks” to spend on supplies like cardboard, liquid nails and duct tape. Even though students spend a week working on their vessels, many boats sacrificed to the chilly waters. “I had a really fun time we really didn’t expect to make it all the way but sure enough we made it,” said freshman Damion Kilts. Holly freshman Logan Greer was surprised his team was suc-

cessful. He said he was expecting to sink. “It was a lot of fun,” Greer said. “I was expecting to sink.” Teamwork was cited as a positive of the experience, Kilts said. “I learned a lot of what it takes to build a project with a team, and make a goal and succeed,” he said. Brian DeJong, the engineering professor who runs the program, said. It is a good bonding experience for students in the EGR120 class and a good opportunity to apply their skills. “I think it’s important because it’s a chance for them to apply engineering you can still make floats,” she said. Successful teams cited duct tape as the material that held their boats together. “All of the duct tape. There was so much duct tape,” said Logan Greer, a Holly freshman.

Luke Roguska | Design Editor Students race to the finish in the cardboard boat race event Saturday at Rose Pond.

Slocum attributed her team’s success to modeling their boat after a canoe. “The design of our boat was we made it canoe-like and we used a lot of duct tape on the bottom,” she said.

Dejong said she finds it rewarding that students’ positive memories make all the work worthwhile. “I think today is a lot of fun,” Dejong said. “I really like that students back on the event fondly.”

“N*gger Wetb*ck Ch*nk: The Race Play” will visit Central Michigan University at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Plachta Auditorium. This humorous group will bring an educational, yet comedic combination of theater, stand-up comedy, hip hop, slam poetry, and stories from personal experiences to take on racial slurs, stereotypes and the concept of race itself. N*W*C, debuted in the 2004, written and performed by three former University of CaliforniaLos Angeles students. The show quickly became a success in Los Angeles and has been touring throughout the U.S., being performed at colleges, theaters and performing art centers across the country. The show opens with a chant that bombards the audience with stereotypes and words that often make people uncomfortable to speak. As they chant racial slurs, they are able to captivate and amuse their audience, however, the play aims to strip racial slurs of their pejorative power. Malachi Barrett News Editor

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is open for business. Construction plans for the drive-thru restaurant were approved by the Mount Pleasant planning commission in early April. Popeyes offers a variety of chicken-centered dishes and seafood, including sandwiches and wraps, tenders, popcorn shrimp and Cajun fish, as well as sides, deserts and a “Live Well” menu featuring items that are 350 calories or under. According to the Popeyes website, the first restaurant was opened in a New Orleans suburb in 1972 with a focus on serving traditional, Southern fried chicken. The Mount Pleasant location has a minimum seating capacity of 25 people, but the line of poultry-lovers stretched far beyond on Sunday. Malachi Barrett, News Editor

n informed and engaged citizenship is the cornerstone of a strong nation. This week – National Newspaper Week’s 74th Anniversary – we are reminded that healthy journalism makes for

flourishing, vibrant communities. From the local level to a national scope, today’s media looks drastically different than it did five years ago. With the advent of the Internet and other smart technologies, the way in which we consume news continues to change. Instantaneous, aggregated news is increasingly the preferred method of dissemination. “Listicle” and blurb news requires little effort to read, and the audience is much less engaged as a result. In addition, an emphasis on entertainment has sometimes lowered standards of reporting. Total employment in newspaper publishing has dropped by more than 40 percent in the last 10 years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics. Meanwhile, the number of Americans who read papers

Age of internships We are constantly told that our education is about more than the classes we take and the grades we get. Internships are seen as one of the most important ways to gain experience in the field, develop a professional portfolio and build connections for a future job. Although there are plenty of internship opportunities available, far too many are tagged with this disclaimer: “You must be a junior, senior, or recent graduate to apply.” At Central Michigan University, there are several

opportunities for students to get involved as underclassmen. However, many of the programs at the university require students to be juniors or seniors to receive credit for internships. This puts students in a tough position because even if outside organizations don’t specify that they only want upperclassmen to apply, many of them require students to receive credit for their internships. Furthermore, many organizations do specify that applicants must be upper-

classmen in order to apply. This requirement doesn’t make sense because experience is not dependent on age. Older students have had more time to gain work experience, but that doesn’t automatically mean they have used that time to do so. It is difficult for upperclassmen to gain experience because of the guidelines they faced as underclassmen. If they couldn’t get internships as underclassmen, they’re not going to have more experience as upperclassmen. It’s the same situation as applying for your first retail job and being told you must have prior retail experience. If most places requires prior experience, there aren’t

many other places to obtain that experience. Upperclassmen have taken more classes and have “learned more,” so to speak. But much of what people learn is acquired outside the classroom, and the amount of credit hours someone has taken isn’t any indication of how much he or she knows. We’re told to “dream big,” but when we try, we get “oh, sorry, wait until you’re older.” We’re told a college degree isn’t enough anymore. We must have experience to back it up. We’re trapped inside this paradox in which we need experience to get a job, yet we face so many guidelines and limitations when it comes to getting experience.

Students can navigate those guidelines to the best of their ability, but instead of looking at class standing and completed credit hours, companies and universities should look at the skills, qualities and experience students have without setting inflexible guidelines that could push away qualified applicants. Obviously, with the amount of students in college, internships are going to be competitive. Companies and universities should consider many factors when selecting interns and employees, but age or class standing should not be among those factors. Such information says nothing about who a student is or what he or she has accomplished.

I am writing this letter in regards to the recent article about the SGA’s attempt to reform the student survey for incoming freshman by asking students if they feel comfortable living with a person who identifies as LGBTQ. While I can understand why this would theoretically seem reasonable, I am extremely thankful this was not approved. What I do have an issue with is Spectrum and several other LGBTQaffiliated groups endorsing this reform. As an out-and-proud lesbian, this may seem like a strange stance to take, but I do have good reason. The whole point of higher education is to learn, and part of the experience is learning to accept alternate lifestyles that one may not have been exposed to prior to coming to college. According to a CM Life article from last week, the goal was to have people who all answered yes to the question, or all answered no to the question, residing together. Separation was the goal. If CMU is open and diverse, why would the separation of these two groups be so sought after, especially by a group that adamantly endorses LGBTQ students? The separation of people who are not comfortable living with an LGBTQ identified person would only contribute to the ignorance that surrounds homophobia. People need to be exposed to learn. Education is the cure to ignorance. Education on this issue comes from being around people who identify as LGBTQ, learning we are not different than anyone else and finally accepting us as peers. Our generation is the one that is going to make waves. We are the start of acceptance for all people, and we are the ones who need to stop the separation and isolation of these groups. I recognize safety was the main concern regarding this reform and no harm was meant by it. As a former resident assistant, if there are safety issues in a residence hall, I have full faith that the resident assistants, residence hall directors and other hall staff would make it their priority to solve the problem in the best interest of all the students. We need to make it our priority as students to educate each other. We are our best allies, and we are our own solution. SGA and Spectrum, I know you meant no harm.

Greeks help keep streets clean after homecoming weekend By Malachi Barrett Senior Reporter

Members of the Greek community armed themselves with trash bags and gloves to clean the streets of Mount Pleasant after a rowdy Homecoming Weekend. “I just like to do something to help the community and build ratlines between the city and university,” said Tyler Khan, Grand Blanc junior and member of the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity. “I want the city to know we are about where we live and we appreciate the opportunity to be here and do what we do.” The students meet with members of the Mount Pleasant Police Department in Lot 3 one weekend a month, where they are assigned a street to clean, generally around student housing from Douglas to

Lansing Streets. “Greeks Clean the Streets” is a partnership between Enforcement Officers, the MPPD and greek volunteers, who hit the ground after big football weekends. Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said this is one of the many ways fraternities and sororities give back to the community. All it takes is an hour of time, he said, three or four times a year to make a positive impact. This is the third year of the organization, which was started in fall 2011 by now-graduate assistant John Reusch. “It shows leaps and bounds how much we care about this community,” said Sarah Otto, a Tauas City senior and member of Phi Mu. She said she participates in the effort whenever possible because she wants to change the

stereotype of Greek life making a mess of the residential blocks. The impact in the community is felt; as Otto and Miami, Fla. senior Scott Norcoss bent over to pick up trash, a man on his bicycle shouted his thanks. Norcross said they usually get a positive reception from residents. “It’s all about getting involved and having people in your chapter who really pay attention,” Norcross said. “I got a text this morning and I would have no idea this was happening if I didn’t.” The idea is to keep all the streets from Bellows to High clean and maintained after big event weekends in the city. These streets are where most Greek houses are located, although they are not the only ones responsible for trash or debris.

Alexis DelosSantos, remembers coming out. The Saginaw sophomore and spectrum co-president asked her mother to attend the Queer Monologues, a Coming Out week event where participants memorize a monologue and perform it in front of an audience. “She was like ‘why are you doing that?’ And I said ‘well, I just wanted to’. She said she didn’t know if she could make it because it was the middle of the week and I was like you really need to come, so she asked why I needed her there so I said ‘Well, I have something to tell you,” DelosSantos said. With nearly nine million Americans identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, Coming Out week has become an important segway for much of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual and intersex (LGBTQIAP) community to come out to their peers and family without a fear of being judged. Spectrum is a social organization on campus that seeks to unite members of the campus LGBTQIAP community and their allies. “I think coming out week is important because it’s a chance for people to explore themselves and just to see what the different sexuali-

ties are,” DelosSantos. “It’s also important for those who aren’t in the community to get a sense of what exactly it means to be a part of the community.” Marysville freshman Delany Lemke believes Coming Out Week is important because it’s a way to help a largely invisible community find support. “When coming to college, one is suddenly surrounded by diverse sexualities and gender identities, so this might be a student’s first time being able to fully embrace their identity and have a community that validates their experiences,” said Lemke, who identifies as a lesbian. “Coming out week really let’s people celebrate themselves.” Allendale freshman Sydney Nummer finds this to be an important step because it’s a way of “showing that they’re proud of who they are.” “I think that this week allows people to remember that no matter the sexual preference, we are all the same and all deserve to be treated like a human,” Nummer, who is an ally of the community, explained. “We all deserve to be loved for who we are, not the way that we choose to live our lives.”

Davis dominates In return to Kelly/Shorts, senior wide receiver propels Chippewas to season-saving win

By Joe Judd Assistant Sports Editor

Senior wide receiver Titus Davis said his health was at “90 percent” after last weekend’s 42-28 CMU football loss at Toledo. On Saturday against Ohio, Davis compiled 181 yards on 10 catches for two touchdowns in CMU’s 2810 victory. His 10 catches and two touchdowns on the afternoon were good enough to make and tie career-highs in both categories. “Wait until he is 100 percent,”

said Head Coach Dan Enos. “He’s still explosive and has a really good knack for running routes and creating space.” Enos said the entire team benefits schematically from Davis’ return. “It’s always good to have him out there,” Enos said. “It helps your run game, it helps everything.” From the first offensive possession of the game, Davis appeared as close to his old form as he has all season. Davis was targeted four times and caught three passes including a fouryard touchdown from sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush during the

Chippewa’s first drive early in the first quarter. Rush went back to Davis again for a 32-yard score on the next drive. That touchdown grab put the Chippewas up 14-0. His performance on the team’s initial two drives was indicative of the way the rest of the game would go. Big gains helped keep the Bobcats behind. “This week in practice we really took advantage of (working on explosive plays),” Davis said. “I think we’ve perfected the plays that we had scripted and obviously it carried over

into the game.” Davis has been nursing a left knee sprain since the season opener. When asked if he felt close to perfectly healthy, Davis’ response was clear: “No, not at all,” he said. Going into next weekend’s matchup with Northern Illinois, Davis has 17 catches for a team leading 320 yards with two touchdowns, despite missing significant time due to the injury. “Anytime you lose three straight that’s rough,” Davis said. “This (game) was the one we had circled. We needed this ‘w’ and from here it’s just one step at a time.”

Five takeaways from CMU’s 28-10 victory over Ohio Rawls can be a tool for the defense While senior running back Thomas Rawls didn’t play on defense, he may have been the Chippewas biggest defensive asset. His 40 carries for 229 yards and two scores kept the clock moving and forced Ohio’s offense to stay sidelined for more than two-thirds of the game.

Enjoy Davis while he’s here

For most wide receivers, 10 catches, 181 yards and two touchdowns signify a career day. For senior Titus Davis, this stat line comes on a day when he wasn’t even at 100 percent health. Davis has the ability to take control of a game, regardless if he’s full speed or not. “I’m hurting,” Davis said. “You’re going to be sore after games like that. I felt good pregame and during the game, but I can tell you right now, I’m feeling it.”

Rush still struggling to hold on to ball Sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush had a solid day throwing the ball, going 17-for-27 with 233 yards, two scores and zero picks. Rush has brought the interception numbers down from last year, but his biggest struggle is holding onto the ball. Rush fumbled twice Saturday, including one in the final minute of the first half that gave the Bobcats the ball in the red zone. Ohio couldn’t convert and settled for a field goal, moving the score to 14-3 at the half.

Third down really was the key play

There’s a reason the student section pulls out and waves their keys on every third down. CMU converted 13 of its 17 third down attempts (76.47 percent) while Ohio was three out of 12. The Chippewas came into Saturday 108th out of 125 teams in the country, converting 33.33 percent of third down chances. Part of the reason for the success was senior running back Thomas Rawls, who was able to convert on many short third down situations throughout the game.

Chippewas look to start new homecoming streak

CMU’s win Saturday broke a streak of four consecutive homecoming losses and was the first homecoming victory in Head Coach Dan Enos’ career. Prior to the four straight losses, the Chippewas were on a five-game homecoming winning streak. And prior to that, they had lost six consecutive. The Chippewas have a streaky homecoming past, with a string of eight consecutive victories from 1950-1957 and a 17-game winning stretch from 1966-1982.

Every team has at least one player that is head and shoulders above the competition. As we learned on Saturday afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, the Central Michigan University football team has two. Seniors Titus Davis and Thomas Rawls put on a show against Ohio. Right out of the gate, Davis blew past OU defenders and lit up the scoreboard. Rawls got off to a slightly slower start, but ended up being the difference maker in a win that saved CMU’s championship dreams, effectively keeping head coach Dan Enos off the hot seat for the time being. Rawls and Davis were a perfect one-two punch for the Chippewas Saturday. Against Toledo, both men had underwhelming performances. This makes sense, given Davis’ nagging leg injury and Rawls’ off-the-field distractions just days before CMU’s most recent loss. For the first time all season, the tandem CMU talents played to nearly their full potential. Davis and Rawls seemed somehow connected Saturday afternoon. The wavelength they shared floated high above both Bobcat defenders and the team’s critics around the conference. The two men have distinctly different personalities. Davis is a silent leader. A stone face and straight-forward approach has earned him the respect of his teammates and fans. Rawls likes to talk. A lot. I was in the room when Rawls learned he had broken career records on Saturday. His grin could have stretched from here to Ann Arbor and back. When asked if he and Davis had established themselves as the best one-two punch in the MAC, Rawls replied “Who else?” With CMU’s two most talked about athletes playing at an equally as high and incredibly advanced level, a MAC title seems a legitimate possibility for the first time in a long time. This is the first time CMU played with confidence from beginning to end since the wheels fell off three weeks ago. Rawls and Davis are both mostly healthy and happy. The rest of CMU’s schedule is stuffed with very beatable teams. Let’s hope our two guys keep it up. If it was not clear before, there is no question now. As Davis and Rawls go, so goes the 2014 season.

Volleyball defeats Toledo, loses to Ball State By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Despite a rough start to the season, Central Michigan University’s volleyball team was able to take a win this weekend. The Chippewas defeated Toldeo University on Friday, but lost to Ball State University Saturday. The Chippewas now sit at 7-9 overall and 2-2 in the MidAmerican Conference. After the victory over UT, the women were a win away from becoming 8-8 and reaching .500 for the first time this season. “(BSU) was just a better team than Toledo,” said CMU Head Coach Erik Olson. “Sometimes you play a team that is struggling and then you play a team that is pretty good. That’s what happened this weekend.” The Cardinals took Satur-

day’s match in four sets. “We didn’t execute as well as we wanted to,” said senior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre. “We knew Toledo was struggling coming in, so we knew we could get away with some things even when we didn’t play well. We couldn’t do that against Ball State.” BSU jumped out to a 15-10 lead and ended the first set on a 10-5 run to win 25-15. The women had to overcome a 16-10 deficit to win the second set 26-24 and tie the match at 1-1. Ball State won the final two sets 25-21 and 25-18 respectively. “Ball State passed better and played better defense than we did,” Olson said. “We played good defense and we even out blocked them, but we just couldn’t get it done.” The Chippewas defense

tallied 12 blocks to BSU’s eight, but Olson said playing on the road remains a struggle for his team. “Ball State is always good at home, they have a great winning percentage there,” he said. “Their arena is just so much bigger than most of the places we play in. “ McIntyre led the way for the Chippewas with 16 kills and 15 digs. Freshman Jordan Bueter ended the match with 11 kills and freshman setter Kylie Copple had 40 assists. CMU made quick work of the Toledo on Friday, defeating them in three straight sets, handing the Rockets their fifth-straight loss. Despite 10 serving errors in the match, the Chippewas were able to hold off the scrappy Rockets. In the first set, CMU broke a 14 all tie with an 8-0 run to pull out a close 25-23 win. The Chippewas ended the

second set on an 11-5 run and won 25-19. In the third set, the women started fast and pulled away winning 25-20. McIntyre finished the match with a team-high 16 kills, followed by 11 kills from Jordan Bueter. Olson made sure his team did not overlook Rockets despite their recent struggles. “I thought we passed well and executed well,” he said. “We had a plan coming in, and we stuck to it. Our defense was great and it has been all season.” With the 2-2 start in the conference, Olson said his team needs to find a way to be more consistent in conference play. “We just have to execute better,” Olson said. “And that will come through practice and working hard. We have some tough teams coming up this week, and we have to be ready.”

Field Hockey wins in OT By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

Cayleigh Immelman’s hat trick goal in overtime clinched a 4-3 win for the Central Michigan University field hockey team (3-8) over Longwood (4-8) Sunday afternoon. It was CMU’s second straight victory in the Mid-American Conference. The Lancers lead by two goals in the first half before CMU senior Jordyn Brengosz scored to bring the women within one goal. In the second half, Longwood scored a penalty stroke goal to take a 3-1 lead. Immelman scored her third and fourth goals of the season in under a minute to tie the game. “It took a lot for us to come back, I think that says a lot about our team,” Immelman said.

Late in OT, Immelman sent a high shot into the left side of the net to complete her hat trick. “I did not want to lose in overtime,” Immelman said. It was the first hat trick of Immelman’s career. “The goal before halftime was huge for us,” said coach Cristy Freese. “I was really proud of our team and how they came back to win it.” In overtime, CMU goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds stopped six Longwood shots. “Sadie is a smart player and realizes that (playing aggressive) is what works for her. Her timing was great,” Freese said. Junior Kaysie Gregory assisted on two goals in the game. Senior Jordyn Brengosz had a goal and an assist as well. CMU hosts Miami (Ohio) at 3 p.m. Friday.

Soccer loses fourth consecutive MAC game By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

After a 2-0 loss to Miami (Ohio) Sunday, the Central Michigan University soccer team finds themselves at 0-4 on the Mid-American Conference schedule. CMU sits at the bottom of its division and has scored only one goal against MAC opponents. The Chippewas gave up goals against MU in the 18th minute and late in the game in the 85th. CMU goalkeeper sophomore Maddy Bunnell recorded nine saves in the loss. “I thought we responded well from our heartbreak on Friday night,” said Head Coach Peter McGahey. “The hard part is we had three clear chances to score and did not capitalize on them.”

Missed scoring opportunities remains a theme of the Chippewas 2014 season. “If you don’t take advantage of chances like that at this level against a good defensive team like Miami, you’re going to be in trouble,” McGahey said. “We won’t have many more chances.” The Redhawks have given up 10 goals two of those coming during conference play. The Chippewas have allowed 24 goals and six in the MAC. “Now we have the test of character,” McGahey said. “The challenge is to find the positives. It’s much easier to find the negatives out of today.” CMU will travel for another set of road matches as they face Bowling Green on Friday before heading to Ypsilanti for clash with Eastern Michigan on Sunday.

Missed scoring chances plague women’s soccer By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Midfielder Jamie Rademacher gathers a header during the CMU soccer team’s 2-1 victory over Oakland Sept. 5.

Mid-American conference struggles continued for Central Michigan women’s soccer following a pair of 2-0 losses to Ball State and Miami of Ohio. CMU is now 0-4 in the MAC going into their final seven conference matchups. The women were unable to get their offense started over the weekend as they where outshot 35-15. The Chippewas were unable to find their footing early against Ball State tallying three shots to the Cardinal’s 13. Central was stronger in the second half forcing seven corner kicks but conceded two goals. Miami pounced on Central with an early first half goal. Their defense held strong allowing only four Chippewa players to shoot. The Redhawks would seal the Chippewas’ fate in the 84th minute when Kelsey Dinges scored her

seventh goal of the season. The pair of shutouts mark the fourth and fifth times the Chippewas have been unable to find the back of the net this season. CMU is now averaging less than a goal per match and are ranked 11th in the MAC in goal scoring. The team has also allowed 22 goals this season putting their goal differential at -12. Their record now stands at 0-1-7 on the road this season. They have been outscored 20-5 over that span. With seven conference games remaining, the Chippewas still have the ability to earn 21 points. Northern Illinois leads the MAC West with 10 points, giving CMU a very small window of opportunity to top the division. Western Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University dropped points this weekend. Both teams sit at six points apiece, giving the Chippewas the prospect of climbing back into the conference tournament picture.
