FA meets Sunday to discuss status of labor contract CMU rejects union’s proposed counter offer By Theresa Clift University Editor

Central Michigan University rejected the Faculty Association’s counter offer Tuesday night, meaning CMU’s Nov. 11 final offer still stands. The FA proposed a oneyear contract, instead of the traditional three-year contract, which accepts a one-year pay freeze. The FA also withdrew its proposal for a $600 signing bonus for 12-month faculty. “We thought that offering a one-year tentative agreement that included every concession from the faculty that the adminis-

Brethren residents Kip Witt Bailey, 3, laughs and looks up at his mother, Jill Witt, as his father, Steve Bailey, smiles Tuesday during an Adoption Day preceding at the Isabella County Courthouse, 300 N. Main St. Kip was abandoned at six months old in Kampala, Uganda. “Waiting is difficult, but after it’s all over you just totally forget it — it doesn’t matter, you’ve got an instant family,” Jill said of the adoption process.

t only 6-months-old, Kip Witt Bailey was left between a chapel and a maternity ward in Kampala, Uganda. Three years later Kip, dressed in khakis and a navy argyle sweater, toddled into the Isabella County Courthouse, 300 N. Main St. to become an American citizen and the adopted son of Brethren residents Jill Witt and her husband Steve Bailey. Kip was one of four children adopted Tuesday before Isabella County Probate Judge William Ervin in the ninth annual Michigan Adoption Day. “These kids need a second chance,” Ervin said.

University tutor fired for organizing meeting through Blackboard By Catey Traylor Staff Reporter

Unknowingly violating university policy cost one student tutor his job. In early October, former tutor Tom Jackson, a Waterford junior, emailed colleagues via Blackboard to organize a meeting to discuss qualms about the tutoring services policies. Ten days later, Jackson was fired from his job. Central Michigan University Police were sent to investigate after a complaint was filed against Jackson by Jane Johnson, assistant director of Academic Advising.

According to the police report, Johnson said Jackson was a tutor hired through her office, and after becoming aware of the emails he sent to fellow tutors, she asked him to remove the messages and stop further postings. A future meeting between Jackson and Johnson was scheduled to be held at the Academic Advising office, but the police report said Jackson came to the office early to question the meeting’s purpose, and because Johnson was not there, he instead had contact with a staff member.

COMING TO AMERICA Jill reminisced of the day she and her husband told Kip they were taking him to his new home in America. She said she would chant to Kip, “We’re going to America ... today! We’re going to America ... today!” Her soon-to-be adopted son looked up at her with a smile as he remembered. Steve said the toddler now sports a Michigan accent, thanks to his mom. Jill and Steve agree Kip is adapting to his American lifestyle, his first taste of the U.S. was pizza and he is learning to be friends with his new pets. “Kip came home scared to death of animals,” Jill said. “He would see a dog or cat and just shriek.” She said kids in Uganda are told dogs and cats will eat them. “Now he just loves cats, loves dogs,” Jill said. “He has his kitties — he just cuddles

tration demanded would allow all of CMU to move forward,” said FA President Laura Frey in a press release. “In doing so, it also would provide a longer cooling-off period before the teams return to the table next year to begin work on a new three-year contract.” The FA has pushed a meeting scheduled for today back to 7 p.m. Sunday for general membership in the Mount Pleasant High School Auditorium. Frey said the plans for the meeting are not finalized.

Steve, a worldwide traveler, said he felt like it was time to give something back to the world. “We were like instant parents,” he said. “Besides, I was ready to be a dad.” Kerry Wiese, Lutheran Social

Jason Lantz Fish being held on several charges By Orrin Shawl Staff Reporter

What started as an Amber Alert on Nov. 20 resulted in the death of Stephanie Rochelle Fish and the arrest of her husband Jason Lantz Fish on an open murder charge. Stephanie, a 34-year-old Weidman resident, was found dead in the home she shared with Jason, also a 34-year-old Weidman resident, located in the 900 block of North Rolland Road in Sherman Township.

year-old son Brody Fish were first reported missing Nov. 18 and an Amber Alert was issued for Brody. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said Brody and Jason were located in Genessee County on Nov. 20 by a deputy, who saw Jason’s green 2011 Ford Explorer at a rest area. “He knew that was the Amber Alert vehicle. He made contact with both Jason Fish and Brody,” Mioduszewski said. “He indicated they were both fine and Brody did not seem to be in any kind of distress.” Jason and Brody were brought back to the Isabella County Jail, where Jason was interrogated.

‘The Buried Life’ coming to campus today By Anamaria Dickerson Staff Reporter

The cast of “The Buried Life” will be digging up ways to help students cross items off their bucket lists tonight. The free Program Board event, featuring cast members Ben Nemtin, Dave Lingwood, and brothers Jonnie and Duncan Penn from the MTV reality series, will be held at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium. The idea for the show came about in 2006 when the group of friends created a list of 100 things they wanted do to before they died. The cast signed a deal with MTV and aired its first season in January 2010. “The Buried Life” comes from the title of a poem written by Matthew Arnold in 1852.

The cast attempts to complete tasks on their bucket lists while traveling the country and helping others along the way. “It’s important they’re coming here because it reminds people everything they want to do in some way, shape or form, is possible,” said Belleville sophomore Chelsea Davis. Muskegon sophomore Katie Rummery said she was surprised, but pleased the cast was coming. “I’m pretty surprised they’re coming, considering we’re not a Big Ten school,” Rummery said. “But I think it’s great they’re showing us our dreams are reachable, and even though they had a show on MTV, they’re still average people like us.” Rothbury sophomore and Program Board Speaker Chairman Brandon Kieft said he wanted to bring a

member described Jackson to Johnson as “intimidating” because of his clean-shaven head and black trench coat, which was a drastic change from his former appearance, the report stated. Jackson said he questioned the meeting’s purpose and wanted to move its date up because of anticipation, the report stated, and Jackson said he had owned the trench coat since high school and he shaved his head because he was “tired of messing with his hair.” Jackson said CMU Police Officer Michael Morrow investigated his apartment and examined his Facebook account. Jackson said he allowed Morrow into his apartment because he believed it was regarding a domestic abuse case that occurred the night before in his apartment complex, and expected basic questioning. He said when he learned the reason why Morrow was there, he denied him consent to search his bedroom. In the police report, Jackson’s account seemed to revolve mainly around the legalization of marijuana, but no reference of violence as the solution to problems was found. “I requested consent from Jackson to search his room for weapons or signs indicating a plan of violence,” Morrow stated in the police report. “Jackson, who seems to be a person who understands his rights, declined to give consent. He explained that he has nothing to hide and was not planning anything violent. I spoke to Jackson about weapons and did not get any indication that weapons are a significant part of his persona.” Jackson said he did not know

LEARNING THE ROPES OF PARENTHOOD Steve said adjusting into parenthood has a steep learning curve. “It’s not like starting with a baby,” Jill said. “We started with a toddler so we have all the ‘being a toddler’ things, but at the same time, you can reason with a toddler.” She said the day they stepped off the plane in the U.S. was the day they knew they were a family. “We were like ‘okay, he’s our kid,’ he knew we were his parents and that was it,” Jill said. “Waiting is difficult, but after it’s all over you just totally forget it — it doesn’t matter, you’ve got an instant family.” Steve stopped to smile at Kip playing with his toy truck on the Isabella County Courthouse waiting bench. “And then you can’t imagine you never were a family,” he said. metro@cm-life.com

Jason said Stephanie had run off with another man and he was very upset and thinking about suicide, an affidavit stated. He said he did not know where Stephanie was, but that she left her phone at the residence and she must have acquired a phone through her new boyfriend. Chad Paulsen, Stephanie’s boss at Blanchard Lanes Bowling Alley, received a phone call from Jason at about 10 a.m. on Nov. 19. Jason said he was taking Stephanie to rehab for finding needles in her purse, and she would not be at work for 30 to 45 days. Paulsen said Stephanie was at his house Friday evening visiting with his girlfriend Deanna Page. While there, Jason called her repeatedly and said he wanted her to come home.

using Blackboard to email his colleagues was prohibited. CMU Police declined comment, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. According to the Student Employment Services guidelines, a supervisor must first talk to the student about any problems they come across and if the problem persists, Student Employment Services is to be contacted. Jackson said those steps were never taken because he was fired after only one meeting with Johnson. He said his intent in emailing his colleagues was to organize a meeting to get an opinion on Tutoring Services policies. According to the Student Rights and Responsibilities document, those meetings are allowed and encouraged. “Students individually and collectively are free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, including questions relating to University policies, and to express opinions publicly and privately,” it states. Since being fired, Jackson said he is working with Paralegal Brenda Bove from the American Civil Liberties Union to determine if he can take any legal action against Tutoring Services. “Once (they are) finished reviewing my case concerning my termination and harassment by campus police, then it will be decided if legal action will be taken against CMU,” Jackson said in an email. Jackson has contacted the Institutional Equity office on campus, and has drawn from information found in the National Labor Reform Act. Representatives from the office of academic advising, the Institutional Equity office declined comment. university@cm-life.com

The FA bargaining team has full authority to decide when the contract is ready for a vote. “We will not vote on a bad contract,” Frey said. In his recommendation, Fact-finder Barry Goldman favored the university on salary and benefits and the FA in retirement and promotion issues.

Jason said he argued with Stephanie about leaving with Brody while she was intoxicated. During the interrogation, Jason said he drove Stephanie’s Jeep behind the house and got it stuck in the mud, preventing her from leaving. When he walked back into the house, Stephanie had a 22 cal. rifle pointed at him, he said. He then got into a fight to grab the rifle from her, resulting in Stephanie being shot in the head, he said during the interrogation. Brody was sleeping in the bedroom across from the bathroom during the gunshot. “Daddy put Mommy in the bath tub and shot her with a gun bang, bang,” Brody said to Todd Graham, the forensic interviewer. Jason said he then dragged Stephanie’s body from the bathroom into the northwest bedroom and put her down in a crawl space and covered her up with gravel, the affidavit stated.

The rifle was found on the shelf behind the bar in the recreation room. Blood was found on the kitchen floor, kitchen door to the recreation room, in the bathroom, on the barrel of the rifle and on the carpet in front of the crawlspace. The suspect had scratches on his left shin and on his left cheek. He also had bruises on both of his shins. Jason is being held without bail on one count of homicide, open murder, one count of possession of a firearm by a felon and two counts of felony firearms. An autopsy for Stephanie was scheduled for Tuesday, according to a press release sent out by Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick. Mioduszewski said he thought the autopsy was done by Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, which could not be reached by time of publication.

In the university’s final offer, CMU adopted all of Goldman’s recommendations, including a pay freeze for one year and modest increases for the following two. It also allowed FA members to keep MESSA as a primary insurance provider, but under certain conditions. “Our students should remain focused on their academic pursuits without the distractions of faculty negotiations,” said Provost Gary Shapiro in a press release. “They deserve the best

educational environment, and we are committed to bringing this matter to resolution in the best interest of our students and university.” An injunction signed by Isabella County Judge Paul H. Chamberlain will expire Nov. 30, 20 business days after the fact-finder’s report was released. At that time, the FA can issue a job action, including a strike, as it did on Aug. 22.

Library receives $15,000 grant Award will help finish documentary By Sammy Dubin Staff Reporter

Some unemployed Mount Pleasant residents have turned to growing and selling marijuana to help pay the bills and put food on the table in a tough economy.

p u s h in g p o t Local resident sells, grows marijuana to supplement incomes By Jordan Spence | Senior Reporter

Editor’s note: The featured source’s name in the story has been changed for anonymity. Facing an economy with fewer job opportunities, growing and selling marijuana is not reserved for the young or criminal anymore. A local mother and grandmother said she felt in order to make up for lost income, it was a realistic alternative. Jane has been growing marijuana in her basement and selling it for the past few months. She said her husband was making about $2,400 each month at his previous job, and because they no longer can receive unemployment, they began supplementing lost income by growing and selling marijuana. “After my husband lost his job, people said it was a quick way to make some money,” Jane said. “It helps to put food on the table.”

She said they did not make as much as when her husband was employed, but the extra income from growing and selling helps cover the difference. “He still had his medical marijuana card from when he had cancer, so we started from there,” she said. “We only sell to other people that have their cards as well — it’s not like we do this under the table.” While laid off from his job, Jane’s husband got sick and their family was faced with having to pay for the mounting medical bills. Because they no longer have medical insurance, she said selling marijuana has helped to alleviate some medical expenses. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said he is not sure if growing

“After my husband lost his job, people said it was a quick way to make some money. It helps to put food on the table.” and selling marijuana is a growing trend because of the economy. “After we arrest people for dealing or growing, we don’t know immediately why they are doing it,” he said. Since the dispensaries have closed, Jane said she has seen an increase in the number of patients she provides for, but she could not provide an exact number of clients she has. If Michigan’s job market continues to be one of the worst in the nation, she said she could see more people relying on growing

and selling marijuana as a way to make money. The people Jane provides marijuana to have different conditions, she said, and they are not the type of people most would assume would use marijuana. “These aren’t just people off the street. They’re not what you think of when you think of marijuana users,” she said. “Most of them are middle-aged and most of them are just your average person.”

Clarke Historical Library received a grant of $15,000 to complete its documentary on American Indians fighting in the Civil War. The library was among 14 organizations awarded the major grant by the Michigan Humanities Council. “This grant will support the completion and dissemination of ‘The Road to Andersonville: Michigan Native Americans Sharpshooters in the Civil War,’ a film documenting the history of the Native American soldiers of the first Michigan Sharpshooters during the Civil War,” according to a news release. Frank Boles, director of the Clarke Historical Library, said the project has already started and the grant will allow it to be completed in late summer or early next fall. “There are still some more interviews to be done and more production work,” Boles said. David Schock is the film’s producer and said the film will be documenting the 139 American Indians who served in the Sharpshooters and some who were sent to Andersonville Prison in Georgia. “These men did not have to serve, (but) they realized if southerners were successful, they would be nothing better than slaves,” he said. Robbe DiPietro, program director for major grants, oversees all of the applications that come in. DiPietro said there were 21 applicants who were considered, but only 14 were funded. “Public programming is very important, as well as how culture is brought to the public,” DiPietro said. The grant’s criteria are how committed the applicant is and also the scholars behind the applicant who

EDITORIAL | Financial stability of college students warrants more attention

Loaded with loans

recent Associated Press article addressed an issue that at first glance hardly seems to be a problem — too little student loan debt.

Several students were featured to represent a large number that, to avoid student loan debt at most costs, either live at home, attend smaller schools, do not buy textbooks or work many hours each week. The article cited that some educators do not believe this is the most effective way to move through college, because a college degree may not always be the result for these students. The money-saving methods most commonly implemented by students, listed above, were said to be “well-documented risk factors that makes students less likely to graduate.”

alone the basic value of money. The truth is we are living in a very different world than our parents did. If a student were to work 40 hours a week through college, earning $8 an hour, they would still only make out with about $16,000 each year. For a student at Central Michigan University, tuition averages more than $10,000 per year. Add in the cost of living in either an apartment or residence hall, food, books, bills, transportation or any other necessity, the $16,000 cap has already been exceeded, and most students are not even making that much. Our generation is no less hard-working that those prior, but we have to learn to work in a different way. Deciding to live at home or attend community college or not buy books falls on

We live in a generation where students must decide based on personal finances, field of study and their willingness to take risks as to whether or not they will accrue a significant amount of student loan debt. The light shed by this article on students who are afraid to take out loans in fear of not being able to attain a career after graduation to pay them back is one of many warning signs that the student loan system in our country is heavily flawed. In recent years, the blame has easily fallen on students for not understanding the repercussions of taking out loans, let

each student. They must choose what works for their lifestyle. Another negative aspect of the student loan system is the ease in which money is handed out. While the money is most definitely necessary to cover the costs of college, students become accustomed to buying things with money they do not have, which is hardly a good mindset to charge into adulthood with. There is a clear problem with the organization of the student loan system, yet there is a complete lack of anyone willing to attempt to flesh~out a plausible solution. Looking into the future of higher education, a collapse of the student loan system’s fragile backbone and higher education as a whole is sure to combust if changes are not made soon.

Study abroad anxieties I had the opportunity to study abroad almost anywhere in the world, and I chose to go north. I have never been a winter person, but my decision to study in Edinburgh, Scotland, for next spring involved more than considering the climate. There are countless destinations around the globe I hope I have the opportunity to travel to some day, but if I were to live in a foreign country for a semester, I had to make that commitment carefully. I knew studying abroad would be more than just a vacation, so I wanted to evaluate each program on multiple academic and cultural criteria. I did not care about the popularity of my destination, as long as it fit my interests. I always struggle to come up with a concise answer when asked why I decided to study abroad in Edinburgh. After extensively researching the city and university, it just seemed like the perfect fit. Academics were an important aspect to my decision. My program allows me to take classes that will apply toward my major, and as a journalism and political science student, I am excited to visit the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Although my family is more German than anything else, I was thrilled to discover recently that some of my ancestors were born in Scotland. Studying abroad at this destination will give me the opportunity to reconnect with my family history. Admittedly, pop culture also had a tremendous influence on where I chose to study abroad. I read Irvine Welsh’s “Trainspotting” when I was in high school and I’ve been fascinated by Edinburgh ever since — but with considerably different interests than those of the main characters. While cities such as London, Paris and Rome make wonderful study abroad destinations for many students, I would encourage students to also consider programs that might not have the biggest markers on the map. After waiting months for my confirmation letter, I am ecstatic to count down the days until next semester. Studying abroad is something I have wanted to do my entire life, but until I came to Central Michigan University, it seemed more like a dream than an attainable goal. My main concerns for adjusting to life as an international student remain the same as any other first-day-ofschool anxieties: Will the students and professors be nice? Will I fit in? Instead of worrying about catching the bus to class, however, I need to catch a flight.

[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]

An invitation to learn The department of foreign languages, literatures and cultures strongly supports Central Michigan University’s mission statement encouraging the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom as well as preparing students for responsible citizenship in a global society. For this reason, while we realize that journalism Associate Professor Timothy Boudreau had the right to bring controversial Rev. Terry Jones to campus to illustrate the importance of freedom of speech in our country, we are strongly opposed to hate messages that undermine the core values that we are trying so hard to create through the study of other languages and cultural perspectives. On the third floor of Pearce Hall — the same floor where Terry Jones was

interviewed — we have been offering Arabic classes for the last three years. Additionally, our department, along with the departments of history, religion and political science are working on a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies. Our classes and programs have as their goal not only the acquisition of languages, but also enlightenment about other cultures. They also intend to foster CMU’s core values of “integrity, respect, compassion, inclusiveness (and) social responsibility.” The Central Michigan Life article entitled “Local Muslims Say QuranBurner Terry Jones Is Wrong about Islam” (Nov. 14) raises an important question: How can you condemn Islam without having studied it? While freedom of speech is one

of the founding principles of our country, speech based on lack of facts or prejudice does nothing to foster global understanding or global peace. For these and other reasons, the Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures would like to extend an open invitation to all members of the CMU and Mount Pleasant communities to learn about our global society. Take classes in our department or others, talk to your professors and peers about these issues, and join us in our campus-wide discussions that aim to understand and value cultures and traditions within and outside the U.S. Department of Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures

Problems with no policy We’ve all read about the $550,000 being spent on the new http:// cmich.edu Web-design, but what about more relevant information such as policies regarding guest speakers on campus? I’ve discovered a 20-year veteran employee within Central Michigan University who says there is “no formal written policy” and the whole process is “very informal.” According to www.MLive.com, Terry Jones was invited by Associate Professor of journalism Tim Boudreau to speak about his First Amendment right to ridicule Muslims. For those of you who don’t know, Jones is the Florida pastor that’s gained world recognition for

burning the Quran, the Muslim bible. According to the Washington Post, this burning “incited a riot in Afghanistan resulting in a raid on a United Nations compound that left 7 employees dead and protests in Kandahar that left 9 dead and 90 more wounded.” Jones admits that he had considered the possibility that burning the text might elicit a violent response and that innocent people might be killed, but he still renounces any responsibility for the deaths. The Washington Post and the Daily Caller both cite that “Terry Jones was informed, by the FBI, that the terrorist group ‘Hezbollah’ has placed a $2.4 million bounty on his head.” In effect, we have welcomed

a terrorist target to our campus for the purpose of slandering an entire religion and spreading intolerance in a higher education establishment that publicly claims to encourage tolerance and diversity. My assignment was to write about a social policy, but perhaps we should establish a policy before we try to analyze it. Perhaps the administration here at CMU will consider the safety of its students and faculty when doing so and encourage people who preach intolerance to practice their First Amendment rights somewhere else.

Where has the school spirit gone? The fire that I knew in “Fire up Chips” was extinguished long ago. As I watched the Michigan and Michigan State football teams win this Saturday, I was faced with the disheartening realization that most Chippewas will never get to experience football and school spirit the same way that our neighboring Spartans and Wolverines will. A sea of maize and blue filled The Big House as Michigan beat Ohio State University for the first time in almost 3,000 days. After the game, students rushed the field and celebrated with senior players as they finally broke the losing streak against their rival, potentially giving Michigan the opportunity to play in a Bowl Championship Series game. The Spartans handled Northwestern University, securing a spot in the Big Ten Championship game against Wisconsin after having an admirable 10-2 season and winning the Big Ten Legends division. While both U-M and MSU football programs found success in 2011, their victories bring back memories of the 2009 Central Michigan University season that now seems so long ago. For the first time in school history, our football program was nationally ranked, going undefeated in the Mid-American Conference and ending the season with a 11-2 record. Who could possibly forget the 2009 nail-biter between CMU and MSU, where CMU edged out a victory in East Lansing with a last-second field goal? I attended the game and remember cheering at the top of my lungs, more than proud of my school’s unexpected victory. Any prestige the Chippewa football team once held seems dead and gone, but the football program isn’t to blame. The most noticeable problem is with school spirit, or should I say, the absence of school spirit. By the fourth quarter of most CMU 2011 football games at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium, no more than a few hundred students were usually in the stands. Throughout my time at CMU, I had never seen so many of my friends and peers act so unenthusiastic about attending the games, which unlike MSU and U-M games, are entirely free. Looking back to the 2008 and 2009 seasons when the Chippewas found success on the football field, I remember one key difference — football games were actually fun. After three years of the strict tailgating policies implemented in 2009, Parking Lot 63 is largely empty on game day. I remember my freshman year when four or five rows of the parking lot were guaranteed to be packed with thousands of students, most of whom would attend the game. Even the historic rivalry between the CMU and Western Michigan football teams has dissipated, and excitement for the match-up that was once seen is now overshadowed by the massive police presence during the weekend. I’m assuming the tailgating policies have prevented more than underaged drinking and the overintoxication of the student body. Imagine Coach Dan Enos inviting potential recruits to a home game and having to explain why only a few hundred members of the on-campus student body, which amounts to more than 21,000, are in attendance for most games. While MSU and U-M have no common area for students to tailgate, they are allowed to gather before games in their university’s attire and enjoy themselves, a privilege that CMU used to give students. I understand that the university is seeking to reduce the number of accidents on game day, but the consumption of alcohol by college students is inevitable. For many students, removing the ability to drink before games simply eliminates their desire to go. As I remember my freshman and sophomore year, it saddens me to know that many younger students may not see the school spirit that CMU once displayed. Photocopies of stories are 25 cents each.

Motorcycle helmet law one step closer to repeal By John Irwin Staff Reporter

PHOTOS BY CHARLOTTE BODAK/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Hillsdale senior Erin Batt laughs while demonstrating how to begin knitting a scarf Nov. 21 in the Charles V. Park Library. “For me, knitting is very calm and relaxing,” Batt said. “It’s good to practice and relieve the stresses that come with school.”

Students express themselves, relieve stress through knitting By Octavia Carson Staff Reporter

Jeff Browne has strong feelings about the potential repeal of Michigan’s motorcycle helmet law. Browne, Mount Pleasant Police public information officer, said he likes the law because he was once struck on duty while on a motorcycle. “Had it not been for my helmet, I’m not sure how much of my head would have been left,” Browne said. “I got hit and then bounced off the cement several times, and it left a pretty big patch in my helmet.” Earlier this month, the State House approved to repeal the current law with legislation that gives motorcyclists older than 21 the right to drive without a helmet if they have at least two years of ex-

For Erin Batt, knitting is a family tradition that started 94 years ago in Germany. “My great-grandmother gave me knitting lessons when I was 15 years old,” the Hillsdale senior said. Batt said in Germany girls like her great-grandmother were taught knitting in school at age 4. “She didn’t have girls, so she taught my mom and I,” she said. “She told me it was a part of my heritage.” With a busy schedule, Batt manages her time to knit a scarf in one day, a sweater in a month and a large blanket in three months. “It’s not easy to find time, but you can work it into your schedule,” she said. When Batt finds spare time, she said she picks up her knitting needles and quickly works on a project. “When my friends and I are watching a movie I’ll whip out the knitting,” she said. Batt said she believes the hobby is a great way to relax. “It takes patience and time, but it is very relaxing, especially when stuff gets stressful,” she said. After years of knitting, Batt lost count of how many items she has made, but estimated more than 30 blankets, sweaters and slippers combined. “Even though my friends jokingly call me ‘old lady,’ they are always happy when they get a sweater from me,” Batt said. She said it is very rare she gets paid to knit for someone; she just likes to give them away as homemade presents. “I don’t charge often, but every once in a while someone will make a big request and pay me for it,” Batt said. Unlike Batt, Gladwin freshman Nathan Kistler makes and sells knitted hats for his Honors Program philanthropy project that raises funds for the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “At the beginning of the school year when I wasn’t very busy I could make one hat per week,” Kistler said. Kistler has been knitting for two years. “My sister and I didn’t

are familiar with the project, DiPietro said. “People don’t realize how Native Americans were in-

volved with civil war,” he said. Boles said there is no official premiere date set, but it will premiere on WCMU. Schock said $15,000 is a good start but is looking for more money to complete the film.

“It gets expensive for the time and equipment,” he said. “It would be helpful to raise some more. We’ve looked toward the tribes (for additional funding), but nothing yet.”

have anything to do, so as we watched an episode of Desperate Housewives, we saw someone knitting, so we taught ourselves,” Kistler said. Kistler said he has continued to knit because he feels it is productive. “I like it a lot better than playing video games,” Kistler said. “I can sit in front of a movie and knit.” Kistler said there is no longer a double standard for girls and guys when it comes to knitting. Meanwhile, Batt said she hopes knitting will become a lasting tradition throughout her family. “I want to keep this in my family because it’s great for presents and it’s a great tool to have,” Batt said. Batt has already taught her younger cousins and her

friend, East Lansing senior Eric Denby, how to knit. “I’m not really artistic, so I thought it would be a neat way to be creative,” Denby said. Denby said he also picked up knitting to help break his smoking habit and calm him down. Like Kistler, he said he feels the double standard society holds for girls knitting rather than guys is no longer a factor. “I really don’t care about the gender specific rules society places on people,” Denby said. He has only been knitting for two weeks and he said so far he has made an “extremely horrible dishcloth.” “It is my goal to learn how to knit a nativity scene,” Denby said. studentlife@cm-life.com

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — With the roar of an Atlas 5 engine, NASA began its boldest venture yet to another planet, sending its Mars Science Laboratory on an eightmonth journey that is expected to provide Earth with new and more detailed information about whether the red planet is — or ever has been — hospitable to life. After being postponed by

one day to replace a faulty battery, the launch went off flawlessly at 10:02 a.m. Saturday, the rocket rising on a column of white smoke into a blue sky mottled with puffy cumulous clouds. The rocket’s payload was the rover Curiosity, the largest and most sophisticated in a series of robotic vehicles that NASA has landed on Mars. Built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Curiosity is a sixwheeled, one-ton, car-sized vehicle crammed full of sophisticated scientific gadgets.

Its mission, NASA officials stressed, is not to find life on Mars, but to find out whether life could have existed on Mars in the form of microbes, tiny organisms that are abundant on Earth. It also will try to find further evidence to suggest whether astronauts could survive on Mars. “I like to say it’s extraterrestrial real estate appraisal,” said Pan Conrad, a JPL astrobiologist, at a prelaunch briefing earlier in the week.

Browne added enforcement of the law is rarely an issue because Mount Pleasant motorcyclists usually follow it. “I understand that people want their choice to wear a helmet, but for me, it’s just a big safety precaution,” Browne said. The bill could be approved by the Senate once state legislature comes back into session after Thanksgiving. Gov. Rick Snyder’s office said it is unclear if the governor would sign the bill into law. “Gov. Snyder has been consistently clear that in order for him to consider any repeal, it would have to be in the context of broader auto insurance reform, so that motorists and drivers aren’t held responsible,” said a spokeswoman from the governor’s office.

Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, co-sponsored the bill, which will now head to the state Senate, where a different version of the bill was already approved in June. “The (helmet) law should be repealed because it is a matter of personal choice,” said Vince Consiglio, president of American Bikers Aiming Toward Education of Michigan. “Michigan motorcycle fatalities are higher when compared to the surrounding states, which are all adult choice. Helmets do not prevent accidents.” Tougher motorcycle licensing, motorcycle safety and car driver awareness of motorcycles are the ways to prevent motorcycle accidents, not mandatory helmet laws, Consiglio said.

Police officers surround Zuccotti Park during the Occupy Day of Action Nov. 17 in Manhattan.

On Nov. 17, Kent Miller, assistant professor of journalism, took eight Central Michigan University students to Manhattan to cover the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Protestors declared Nov. 17 a Student Day of Action. Gathering at multiple locations around the city, participants protested against a myriad of issues including corporate influence in politics, unemployment and student loan debt in the U.S. economy. While there, Miller and his students found themselves in the middle of an altercation at Zuccotti Park between protestors and the police. The incident kicked off after a protestor removed a policeman’s

hat, as tensions built between the protestors and authorities. Miller and his students followed the protests to different locations throughout the city, including the rally at Union Square, which ended with a march down 16th and 5th avenues, obstructing traffic and defying police orders to move to the sidewalks en route to Foley Square. The New York Times reported more than 32,000 protesters gathered at Foley Square for a night of rallying, including chanting and singing before marching over the Brooklyn Bridge in protest. Occupiers also demonstrated by protesting Black Friday as way to defy indulgence. According to www.occupytogether.org, the Occupy movement will be calling for an Alternative Day of Action taking place on United Nations Human Rights Day, Dec. 10.

She said the handmade bracelets are comprised of different color arrangements, so it’s hard to find someone with the same one. “That makes them unique,” she said.

“Miracle” Pura Vida bracelets for a friend dying of cancer. “It’s a neon, bright color bracelet. It’s really nice,” Debbie said. Debbie said she liked that the money from the bracelets sales was going to help the people of Costa Rica. “The themes to them appeal to me,” Debbie said. “The breast cancer and miracle bracelet make it meaningful.” She said supporting Emily and a good cause is a good feeling.

UNIVERSITY BAND DIRECTOR FIRED AMID HAZING INVESTIGATION By Arelis R. Hernandez and Jeff Weiner The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)

ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida A&M University has fired longtime band director Julian White, four days after the death of a drum major in which police say hazing was involved. “Dr. White has been terminated from employment at the university,” said FAMU President James Ammons, citing White’s “inability to stop hazing in the department of music and in the band.” “We are serious: This has to stop,” Ammons said in an interview with The Orlando Sentinel. “The highest priority we have as a university is protecting the health, safety

and well-being of our students.” The news comes a day after Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings announced that hazing is being investigated in the death of Robert Champion, who collapsed aboard a parked charter bus in front of the Rosen Plaza hotel Saturday night after the Florida Classic football game. The FAMU band performed during halftime. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital. The 26-year-old was a first-year drum major poised to become the top student in the band next year. Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday sent a letter requesting that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement assist in the investigation “to assure

that the circumstances ... become fully known.” Parents of several members of the FAMU “Marching 100” band told the Sentinel on Tuesday that they have implored university officials for months to end verbal and physical abuse in the band. Administrators stressed to students “the illegal nature of hazing and the consequences,” Ammons said, and the university’s police chief attended their practice before the Florida Classic. Ammons said he had hoped students would heed the stern warning. Now he hopes they’ll take the tragedy of Champion’s death to heart. “If this doesn’t change behavior, I don’t know what will,” he said.

cancer risks By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Birth control pills may help decrease the risk of ovarian cancer in women but increase the risk for breast cancer. A study in the British Journal of Cancer showed for every 100,000 women on the pill for 10 years, there are 50 extra cases of breast cancer and 12 fewer cases of ovarian cancer. The risk of ovarian cancer is therefore almost halved for users. Lori Wangberg, a health educator and HIV counselor, at Central Michigan University Health Services said there has been research over the past several decades on oral contraceptive use and cancer risk. “While research has found that oral contraceptive use might decrease the risk of ovarian cancer, research supports a strong link between oral contraceptive use and an increase in breast cancer risk,” she said. “Certain types of cancer rely upon higher levels of hormones to activate tumor growth and development. “ The question many women now face is whether to risk not developing ovarian cancer, but in turn possibly be diagnosed with breast cancer. Wangberg said it depends on the woman’s family history. “If there is a strong family history of breast cancer or strong family history of ovarian cancer, it is critical to have that discussion with their healthcare provider, and provide honest and accurate information at the appointment,” she said. Women also need to be aware that oral contraceptives do not offer protection against sexually-transmitted infections, Wangberg said. The HPV virus, which is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, is linked to cervical cancer.

She said condoms can be helpful in reducing the risk, but it is important to remember that HPV can still be transmitted through the areas of the skin the condom does not cover. Troy junior Sienna Violett said she knows the risks of taking the pill, but still takes it religiously. “I’m not worried about getting or not getting cancer from the pill because I think it’s all in your genetics,” she said. “If I am going to get cancer it will just happen and I don’t think the pill will play that big of a role.” Violett said she takes the pill every day at 8 p.m. and has an alarm set on her phone as a reminder. “I’ve been taking the pill for two years, but I don’t take it to reduce my cancer risk,” she said. “It is more for health reasons and I think it’s more effective by taking it at the same time every day.” Wangberg said the risks of taking the pill include increased blood pressure, heart disease and an increased risk for blood clots. The European Prospective Investigation of Cancer also showed evidence that having a baby reduces the risk of ovarian cancer. Wangberg said based on some research studies, the less active the ovaries are (non-ovulation), in theory, the risk goes down. The most common signs of ovarian cancer are bloating in the lower belly and pelvic area, pelvic pain or discomfort, nausea, indigestion and an increase in size of the abdominal area, Wangberg said. While these symptoms are typical of ovarian cancer, she said it is important to remember these symptoms can be associated with other illnesses. metro@cm-life.com

Port Huron junior Emily Shinavier was surfing the Internet when she came across Pura Vida bracelets — now her job is to help them expand. “I always look for cool stuff online, like random stuff that no one has,” she said. “I ran across the website and noticed they were looking for campus reps.” According to its bracelets Pura Vida bracelets started when two college graduates vacationed in Costa Rica and discovered a poor man, Jorge, making bracelets on the street. The two asked Jorge to make 400 of the bracelets for them to take home. After returning to California, they displayed the bracelets at a local boutique shop. Soon the bracelets were gone and people

were asking for more. For Jorge, selling two bracelets a week in Costa Rica turned into a business selling 15,000 a week in surf shops, college bookstores, boutiques and nationwide chain stores. In just a year, Pura Vida has more than 700 stores in nine countries selling its bracelets and their story. While providing jobs for people in Costa Rica, Pura Vida also donates a portion of the profits to the Surfrider Foundation in an effort to protect and clean up beaches and oceans worldwide. Before the success of the booming business, Jorge was living in a one-room space with three beds that he shared with family members.

Google adheres to more removal requests By Melissa Beauchamp Staff Reporter

Google has either fully or partially complied with 63 percent of the requests for content removal between January and June according to a recent transparency report. This is a 70 percent rise compared to the previous reporting period. The transparency report said there were a total of 757 items requested to be removed and 92 content removal requests from government agencies and courts for reasons including allegations of defamation, copyright, privacy and security, or claims that the content violates laws prohibiting hate speech and pornography. Tim Boudreau, associate professor of journalism said because Google is a private company, it can largely censor content. “The First Amendment bars the government from abridging our rights, but it doesn’t bar private companies,” he said. Boudreau said it is entirely up to the company whether or not to remove or allow content that was requested to be removed, unless the requests are dealing with copyright infringement.

“Google users and the American people generally, especially Internet users, are accustomed to a freewheeling, anything-goes medium with few limits,” he said. “Those users would likely bring pressure to bear on Google if the company began acting as a censor.” Ken Sanney, assistant professor of business law and regulation, said Google automatically has liability for copyright infringement because it is a common meeting place for technology users. He said the Constitution created the copyright law before the First Amendment was enforced. “The two have to be read to be harmonious with one another. The two have to coexist,” Sanney said. He said Google is not particularly infringing on free speech laws by accepting removal requests because every law has its limits. “The limit to the first amendment is when you endanger others or you violate their property rights,” Sanney said. Google is protected because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, he said, which provided a safe-harbor for Internet service providers from being held liable for copyright infringement.

“If Google receives a takedown notice for something that has been copyrighted, however, they must take it down,” he said. As a private company, Google chose to comply in 63 percent of the cases for some sort of infringement, he said. Sanney said it gets complicated to determine what is appropriate as far as what can be posted online. “It’s hard to know who makes the determination as to what is a threat to national security,” he said. “What is threatening to national security to one might be pure political speech to another.” He said Google is ultimately trying to manage their risk and reach a balance between being user-friendly and managing violations to copyright infringement and defamation. “They are trying to comply with the law, but at the same time, have a robust business that people still want to post on,” Sanney said. He said the law is having a hard time keeping up with fast-paced technology. “It’s impossible to filter through everything,” Sanney said.

SHOPPERS, STORES GO MOBILE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON By Joan Verdon The Record (Hackensack N.J.) (MCT)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — This holiday shopping season, retailers are trying to get consumers into their stores by getting inside their cellphones. The number of major retailers with mobile websites jumped 210 percent, and those with a mobile app leaped 278 percent, according to a study by consulting firm Acuity Group, which called 2011 the year mobile took off. Retailers are using mobile applications to answer questions about products, alert shoppers to deals and let consumers select and pay for merchandise while walking to the store, and then pick it up when they get there. And more shoppers than ever used smart phones and mobile applications this weekend to navigate Black Friday shopping deals. A survey this fall by the National Retail Federation

found that half of the consumers who own cellphones will use them while doing their holiday shopping this year. Most will be using them to search out information about products while in stores, and 16 percent of phone owners said they will use them to make purchases. “Mobile has definitely arrived,” said Tom Nawara, vice president, digital strategy and design for Chicagobased Acuity Group. “The retailers understand that it is definitely a channel or a touch point that consumers not only want but now need. A lot of consumers expect the retailers that they are working with to have a mobile presence.” And if the retailers don’t, he said, those consumers will go elsewhere. Executives at the Wayne, N.J.-based retailer Toys “R” Us say mobile commerce is their fastest-growing sales channel. And the rest of the retail world is jumping on the mobile bandwagon as well, in ways that are expected to quickly change

the way America shops. Trade publication Internet Retailer says Americans this year will use mobile devices to spend $5.4 billion at the 300 largest U.S. retailers that accept mobile payments, more than twice the amount spent last year. Retailers such as Best Buy and Lowe’s also have equipped their salesclerks with smart phones they can use to help shoppers find sold-out items in other stores or check prices. More shoppers are using their phones to get information about a product, rather than to purchase that item, Nawara said. Most transactions, he said, are still occurring the traditional way — in stores and at the cash register. “Most people are using those phones for things like comparison shopping, getting last-minute details about a product or checking ratings and reviews,” he said.

Volleyball to make NCAA debut Friday @ By John Manzo Sports Editor

It’s new territory for the Central Michigan volleyball team, and history is on its side. CMU has made it to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, and it faces No. 3 Illinois on Friday at Huff Hall in Champaign, Ill. Something has to give in this matchup.

The Chippewas are 4-2 alltime against the Fighting Illini, but UI is 14-1 at home this season. CMU earned its way into the NCAA Tournament with an improbable run through the Mid-American Conference Tournament. It swept No. 3 Western Michigan and No. 2 Ohio en route to a five-set victory over No. 1 Northern Illinois. Illinois earned an at-large

bid as the No. 3 overall seed in the tournament. The team started 20-0, not dropping a set until its third game. The top-four seeds in last season’s NCAA Tournament were ousted in the first two

rounds, so the Fighting Illini should not count out the Chippewas — a team playing its best volleyball at the right time. The winner of the CMUIllinois match faces the winner of the Marquette-Western Kentucky matchup on Saturday at Huff Hall in Champaign, Ill. The Chippewas are 1-1 in their last two matches against teams in the NCAA Tourna-

ment. It beat the Huskies to win the MAC Tournament, but fell to No. 23 Long Beach State in four sets on Friday. NIU, Ball State and WMU join CMU from the MAC to earn spots in the field of 64. Five teams, including CMU, are making their first appearences in the NCAA Tournament. sports@cm-life.com

A Triple Play

Men’s basketball wins three-of-four on roadtrip By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

While the majority of Central Michigan students were home for Thanksgiving the men’s basketball team went 2-1 in Alaska. The Chippewas beat the University of California-Irvine and Dartmouth after losing the Great Alaska Shootout opener to New Mexico State in Anchorage, Alaska. “I thought we had a really great trip,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler. “The kids really rebounded well from the loss. We got better.” New Mexico State won 7849 on Thanksgiving night over CMU. The Chippewas had a hard time offensively, turning the ball over 21 times and shooting 34 percent from the field. “We struggled to score,” Zeigler said. “We couldn’t handle the pressure they put on us. We weren’t ready to play.”

Sophomore Joe Roth provided an early spark for the Central Michigan wrestling team in all four matches Saturday at the Northeast Duals in Troy, N.Y. Roth jump-started the Chippewas to a 3-0 lead in all four duals, helping them earn three out-of-four wins on the day. “I was real impressed with his performance,” said head coach Tom Borrelli. “Especially because he really improved in some of the areas we have been really emphasizing.” CMU opened the day defeating Northern Iowa 31-6 before earning a pair of one-point victories over No. 14 American, and No. 16 Rutgers. It concluded the day with a 23-15 loss against No. 12 Maryland, leaving with a 5-1 record overall this season in dual meets. “We wrestled three pretty good teams back-to-backto-back and most of the other teams in the event only wrestled three matches,” Borrelli said. “I think the grind caught up with us a little bit at the end there.” CMU received contributions throughout the lineup with eleven different players winning at least one match during Saturday’s four duals. Junior Christian Cullinan was 3-0 at 133 pounds while senior Peter Sturgeon won three of his four bouts in the heavyweight division. One of his wins was a

2-1 decision over Maryland’s No. 6 ranked Spencer Myers. His loss coming to American’s No. 2 ranked Ryan Flores, the defending national runner-up. No. 9 junior Ben Bennett scored bonus-point victories at 184 pounds, giving the Chippewas the lead in eventual come-from-behind victories. “I think we are looking pretty darn good right now,” Roth said. “I think guys are buckling down throughout the week and I feel we are heading in the right direction.” With Roth’s undefeated performance on Saturday, he improved to 6-0 in dual meets and 15-2 overall. “I feel individually they were really solid matches for me,” he said. “From a team standpoint, we were doing the right things, winning matches and scoring team points.” With such a young team, Borrelli is pleased with its 5-1 start. “We had quality competition the whole weekend and our guys figured out how to win pretty big matches,” Borrelli said. CMU returns home next weekend for its first two home games of the season. It hosts No. 4 Minnesota at 7:30 p.m. Friday and then welcomes Ohio at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The match will be the Mid-American Conference opener for both teams. sports@cm-life.com

Women’s basketball splits pair of overtime games in Alaska By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

It was an up and down week of play for the Central Michigan women’s basketball. The Chippewas started their week with a loss on Wednesday against South Florida, but were able to breathe a sigh of relief Thursday after getting their first win of the season at the Great Alaskan Shootout against Alaska-Anchorage 9084 in overtime. “It was good to see our team execute and finish the game off,” said head coach Sue Guevara. CMU saw its lead dwindle down to one at the half after taking a 10-point lead. The Seawolves continued to pressure CMU, gaining a 10-point

lead late in the second half. “We had a couple lapses in our defense, especially in our perimeter play,” Guevara said. But the Chippewas didn’t quit. Junior guard Brandie Baker knocked down a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left, tying the game at 73.

CMU never trailed in overtime, scoring the first four points and outscoring UAA 17-11 during that stretch. “Our bench was really big in this game,” Guevara said. Freshman guard Kerby Tamm hit four big 3-pointers and sophomore forward Lauren Bellamy played strong down the stretch in the post off the bench. “We were 0-4 and really needed a win,” said freshman guard Crystal Bradford. “It was a big team effort win.” Bradford had another good night, despite fouling out in the overtime. She had 13 points, six assists, five rebounds and two blocks. Baker led the team in scorPHOTO COURTESY OF CMU ATHLETICS

Offense

Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler and junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto were the driving forces of the entire team. Zeigler responded against UCIrvine and Dartmouth after a dismal performance against New Mexico State, in which he shot 0-for-5 from the free throw line. He put up 21 in the final two games of the Great Alaskan Shootout. Mbaigoto scored a career-high 23 points in the game against UC-Irvine.

Offense

Freshman guard Crystal Bradford will be a force for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team for all four years. She was the best player over break for CMU. She scored 22 points and hauled down 17 rebounds in the overtime loss to South Florida. Junior guard Brandie Baker seems to be finding a rhythm. She knocked down a 3-pointer that sent the game against Alaska Anchorage to overtime, helping the team win its first game of the season.

Men answer questions about play during break

Underclassmen provide energy

Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor Before Thanksgiving break, we looked at five aspects to watch for during Central Michigan men’s basketball four-game roadtrip across the country. The Chippewas were able to answer some, while leaving some doubt with others. 1. Can the team improve with free throws? The Chippewas improved their free throw shooting to 69.2 percent from the foul line in the Dartmouth game as a team. But more importantly, they may have found reliable foul shooters for the end of games. Freshman point guard Austin McBroom went 7-of-8 on the trip and sophomore guard Derek Jackson went 11-of-12. Sophomore forward Trey Zeigler struggled in the team’s only loss in Alaska, missing all five attempts. He went 13-for21 in the wins. 2. Will the offense find its rhythm? CMU’s offense struggled to do much of anything against New Mexico State. The Aggies

pressure forced 21 turnovers and CMU couldn’t dig itself out of a big deficit. The offense made additional strides. Junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto became an offensive weapon by the end of the trip. “He puts us in a position to be successful because he makes us so much more balanced,” said CMU head coach Ernie Zeigler. “That allows us to be so deep. We have seven or eight guys who can score in double digits.” Assists were also a statistic that piled up during the trip. Trey had six in Malibu, Calif., and Jackson dished out seven in a game. McBroom constantly found open scorers.

and seven assists against UCIrvine

Saylor didn’t provide much of a boost off the bench for CMU, but did see floor time. It’s clear Ernie will have to piece together big men until sophomore forward Colin Voss returns from injury. Ernie expects Voss to return in mid- to late-December. “Auston Barnes gave us good defensive minutes and Zach and (Jevon) Harden had opportunities out there,” Ernie said. Barnes recorded five points and three rebounds in one minute against UC-Irvine. Ernie got creative in the post, putting last year’s point guard (now small forward) Trey at power forward at times. “We’ll have to keep mixing

4. Which newcomers are for real? It appears Mbaigoto and McBroom are offensive weapons that the Chippewas can rely on. Mbaigoto was great in the exhibitions, but before this trip he struggled. Ernie said he had a sore knee and wasn’t feeling comfortable in the offense. “He’s starting to gain confidence,” Ernie said. “Things are starting to slow down for him on offense as he’s getting more comfortable. He can score in many different ways.” McBroom’s play at point guard has eliminated any competition in the starting lineup. He had a complete game with nine points, six rebounds

5. Can the defense keep up the low shooting percentage?

ANDREW KUHN/ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR

Ernie said one defensive goal for every game is to hold teams to under 40 percent from the field, and his team has done that in six-straight games. CMU allowed 78 points in the loss to New Mexico State, but still held it to 33 percent shooting. The Aggies were able to capitalize on a lot of positions and easy buckets from CMU turnovers. Blocks and steals went up for CMU. Mbaigoto had five blocks against Dartmouth and the Chippewas snatched 8 steals against UC Irvine. sports@cm-life.com

Sometimes all a team needs is a little momentum. The fourth set between the Central Michigan volleyball team and the University of California-Irvine was one for the ages. CMU stormed back and won a thrilling 37-35 set victory and used that momentum to outlast the Anteaters in five sets Saturday in Irvine, Calif. After dropping the opener to UCI 25-16, CMU was able to get going into the break

with a split after it ran away with game two, 25-11 with a hitting percentage of .484. The Anteaters took game three 25-16, holding the Chippewas to a hitting percentage of just .069 percent. In the final set, CMU won the match 15-10. In the win against UCI, the only roster change head coach Erik Olson made was in game two, when he took out junior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude and put in fellow junior outside hitter and middle-blocker Katie Schuette. CMU put up some big numbers in the high-scoring win. Senior middle-blocker Kaitlyn Schultz recorded 28 kills with a .533 hitting average and seven blocks. Sophomore setter Kelly Max-

well passed out 61 assists and recorded eight digs. Freshman outside hitter recorded 12 kills and 19 digs, while sophomore libero Jenna Coates had 17 digs of her own. Junior right side hitter Val DeWeerd also had 12 kills and Schuette added eight kills. Junior defensive specialist Samantha Brawley was tough with her serves recording four aces and had seven digs. The momentum from Saturday was a day late, however, because the Chippewas weren’t as fortunate when they played the No. 23 Long Beach State. CMU won the first game 25-19, but the rest of the way it was all 49ers as they took games two, three, and four in demanding fashion (25-14, 25-15 and 25-19).

Volleyball splits on California roadtrip 37-35 fourth set win propels CMU in victory vs. UCI

The major hurdle for Central Michigan wrestling is overcoming inexperience, as it emerges as one of the youngest teams in head coach Tom Borrelli’s 21-year tenure. So far, inexperience has not been a hindrance as the team has stormed out of the gates to a 5-1 record. Of those five victories, three came against ranked opponents, including two on Saturday at the Northeast Duals. The Chippewas beat No. 14 American 21-20, and No. 16 Rutgers 16-15. The close victories may be a serious confidence booster moving forward, especially for the young guys that have performed well so far. “I’m excited with the potential of our team,” Borrelli said. “I know we are young and have a lot of improvements to make, but I am definitely excited.” The upperclassmen have played a vital role in the younger guys’ development, despite only having three seniors with the program. “Our guys that have been to the nationals or were

starters last year,” Borrelli said. “I think they have done a lot with trying to help those guys (underclassmen).” For team members, they certainly are not using youth as an excuse to avoid high expectations. “We know we have a young team, but we don’t let that get in the way of anything,” said sophomore Joe Roth. Mike Ottinger is a freshman that has gotten off to a hot start to begin his collegiate career. “I think it’s a great start for me coming in as a freshman,” Ottinger said. “It’s really good for our team to beat some ranked teams early on, but I think we still have some work to do to reach our goals.” He agreed the upperclassmen have played a major role in his development. “The older guys are a huge help, especially helping me stay relaxed before matches,” Ottinger said. After going 2-1 in his matches on Saturday, Ottinger is now 4-1 in dual meets and 8-2 overall this season.
