Obama, Romney make their final case for Tuesday election By John Irwin Elections Coordinator
With Tuesday’s end to the campaign season quickly approaching, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are looking for any edge they can find. On Saturday, Romney unveiled a new television ad and stump speech line criticizing Obama for telling a crowd that voting for him would be “the best revenge.”
“Vote for revenge?” Romney asked supporters at a weekend New Hampshire rally. “Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place.” GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan echoed Romney at a Saturday rally in Ohio, turning Obama’s 2008 campaign slogans against him. “We don’t believe in revenge,” Ryan said. “We believe in change, in hope. We really do.”
Obama’s “revenge” comments were made at a Springfield, Ohio, rally on Friday after supporters booed when the president mentioned Romney. “No, no, no, don’t boo — vote,” Obama said. “Vote. Voting is the best revenge.” The Obama campaign defended the comments, saying the boos came after Obama blasted the Romney campaign for releasing misleading ads suggesting Chrysler was outsourcing its Toledo manufacturing jobs
to China because of the 2009 auto bailouts. The ad has been criticized as hugely misleading by several fact checkers and officials from Chrysler and General Motors. For his part, Obama is presenting himself as someone voters know and trust and Romney as a political opportunist. “You want to know that your president means what he says and says what he means,” Obama said at a Saturday Ohio rally. “And after four years as
president, you know me.” Since the first presidential debate last month, Romney has been presenting himself as someone who can work with members of both parties to break through gridlock. CMU political science professor and chairperson Orlando Perez said Romney would have his work cut out for him, though. “Given the likely partisan division of Congress after the election, I don’t think Romney will be able to garner any more
bipartisanship than Obama,” Perez said. A RealClearPolitics polling average finds both virtually tied, with Obama slightly ahead 47.5 percent to 47.3 percent. metro@cm-life.com
CMU’s grad student union to bargain for healthcare
Murder suspect pastor at area church, cared for 3 year old
By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter
By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
The Graduate Assistant Union at Central Michigan University is the only graduate student union without health insurance in Michigan, union president Michelle Campbell said. Campbell, a graduate assistant in the English language and literature department, said the GSU was organized in 2009 and has only bargained for one contract so far. Of the graduate assistant unions in the state, CMU’s GSU is the newest union compared to those at other universities in Michigan. Campbell said it’s her understanding that the original bargaining team went into bargaining wanting health insurance, but the administration was not interested in providing it. As a compromise, the GSU agreed to a stipend for full-time graduate assistants. The 2010-13 bargaining agreement states that CMU will provide a wellness allowance of $175 during the academic year 2012-13. “That doesn’t do much,” Campbell said. Many graduate assistants are covered under auxiliary plans, Campbell said, such as their parents’ health insurance or an international student plan. She said the GSU has not had any official grievances as far as someone not having any health insurance. Other universities across Michigan provide medical insurance for graduate student organizations. The contract for Wayne State University’s Graduate Employees Organizing Committee states that medical insurance is available to all employees covered by the contract. Insurance provides coverage to the employees and their spouses and dependents to the same extent as it is provided to the members of the
A Friday night vigil brought friends and family of 24-yearold Rebekah Gay together, celebrating her life and mourning her death. Police say 55-year-old John Douglas White, a pastor and ex-convict, murdered Gay around 2 John Douglas White a.m. Wednesday morning in her home, 3303 S. Coldwater Road, in Broomfield Valley Mobile Home Park, where she lived several houses away from White. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski told Central Michigan Life Friday Gay’s autopsy was currently taking place in Grand Rapids, and it will take awhile for results to be known. Mioduszewski said White beat Gay’s head with a rubber mallet and slipped a plastic zip-tie around her neck to strangle her. The news comes as a shock to congregation members at the Christ Community Fellowship, 3554 S. Gilmore Road, where White was pastor for the past three years, the Associated Press reported. Before his arrest Thursday, White asked church members to begin a prayer chain for Gay, who was still missing at the time. White was arraigned Thursday in the Isabella County District Court on charges of open murder and first-degree, pre-meditated murder and ordered jail time without bond. White served prison terms for assault with intent to murder and for manslaughter and was released in 2007, CBS News said. White deposited her body in a stand of pine trees off Coldwater Road and parked her car behind The Barn Door, 3029 S. Coldwater Road, after the murder, police said.

Leading by example Eric Buschlen awarded for excellence in leadership program By Alayna Smith | Senior Reporter
Visitors to the Leadership Institute webpage are greeted with a banner proclaiming “Leadership is Central.” But what makes the leadership program at Central Michigan University so definitive? Though there are a handful of leadership majors and minors available at universities across the nation, CMU is the only Michigan university to offer the minor. Eric Buschlen, assistant professor of leadership studies, recently received the Outstanding Contribution to Student Affairs through Teaching Award for the Mid-West by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. The award recognized him for his work in coordinating and teaching the leadership minor at CMU, as well as contributing to the professional development of
his colleagues and students. Communications Professor and Leadership Council Chair Diane Krider, who teaches one of the required courses for the leadership minor, said she knew Buschlen was destined to be a great leader when she met him in his senior year of college. “Behind any successful program is at least one champion, and Dr. Buschlen is indeed the leadership minor champion,” she said. “One need not look further than the awards he has won and the growth of the program as evidence of his outstanding work and com-

mitment to the leadership minor.” Had he not been able to make important connections to campus and student affairs programs when he was a student, Buschlen said, he would have ultimately just become another statistic as a dropout. “As a first generation student, I felt lost, as many students do,” he said. “But
I found Student Affairs, and they took the time and invested in me along with some outstanding faculty. What I do now is give back the attention they gave me as a freshman who needed guidance. That’s what everyone’s job is at the university, to provide support to make sure (students are) not a statistic.”

Freshmen, sophomores take in first Central-Western weekend By Charnae Sanders Staff Reporter
With visitors filling up extra space in the residence halls, parking lots full of people tailgating and proud Chippewas and Broncos sporting their school colors, it was clear Saturday’s rivalry game was a big deal. Since the Central/Western game was played in Kalamazoo last year, this weekend was the first time freshman and sophomore Chippewas got to witness
the rivalry on their home turf. “My first Central/Western game experience was a lot of fun,” Clark Lake sophomore Curine Demeuse said. “It was what I certainly expected it to be like, big and have everyone all over the place, but it was good to see everyone come together. I really liked that, because a lot of people haven’t been to the last couple of games.” Though the home team did not end up with the victory, several students still had an
entertaining weekend. Demuse hung out with friends and felt as if her expectations for the game were met, despite the loss. “That was the bummer about it,” Demuse said. “It was still a lot of fun to see everybody come together. I’d rather have it be a close game than not having a chance at all.” Freshman Meita Porter enjoyed her first Central/ Western game experience, despite the disappointing 42-31 CMU loss.

“It was a good experience,” the Farmington Hills native said. “It was the rivalry game, and for some people, it was the first one. So, it was really cool. I didn’t want to miss it. So I made sure I went.” Saginaw freshman Brianna Haynes said the most exciting thing about Saturday was the rivalry in general. “I love the atmosphere and how into it everybody was,” Haynes said.

Dependents between 19 and 25 years old are required to maintain full time college student status in order to receive medical, dental or vision benefits coverage. Michigan State University graduate assistants in 2012-13 are automatically enrolled in a graduate assistant health insurance plan, the premium of which is paid by the university. Enrolled students also can insure their eligible spouse and dependent children, and MSU will contribute a total of $2,300 annually toward the cost of coverage. Western Michigan University contributes $1,025 in 2012-13 toward the premium cost of a student health insurance plan made available by the university to the Teaching Assistants’ Union. WMU’s contribution is proportional to the level of the appointment, and premium payments made to the teaching assistant are deducted in proportional amounts from paychecks. The Graduate Employees’ Organization at the University of Michigan is eligible to participate in the university’s health plan coverage programs, including medical and prescription drugs.

Another thing that stood out for her were the skydivers who delivered the game ball before the game. “The skydivers were absolutely amazing,” Haynes said. “I was not expecting them, so it was a total surprise. Great asset to the game to hype everybody up.” Even with students dressed up from head-to-toe in Central or Western gear, yelling at the top of their lungs against the opposing team, it was not nearly as wild as some students thought it would be. “I could say my worst moment is that fumble at the end of the game,” Demeuse said. “But ... the best moment I would have to see is being able to see the rivalry between Western and Central and having all our friends come together, hang out and have fun.” The cold weather had several people layering up to stay warm. The crowd was filled with students in gloves, scarves and hats, snuggling under blankets. However, that did not stop people from Gay’s jewelry was found in the bed of White’s pickup truck, Mioduszewski said. Police said the mallet and bloody towels used were found off Pickard Road, near Woodruff Road and Gay’s cell phone was found in a dumpster in the mobile home park. White confessed to the murder, blaming it on a twoweek sexual fantasy he had to kill Gay and have sex with her dead body according to the AP. White said he stripped her body, but drank four or five beers before going to her home and did not remember carrying out a sex act. Police said White told them the murder was fu-
um cost of the two lowest-cost comprehensive plans available to all university employees. U-M’s contribution toward the cost of plan premiums for other tiers of coverage including dependents is calculated so the university pays 85 percent of the aggregated premium cost for all covered individuals. Campbell said it is too soon to tell how far the graduate assistant union will go in order to bargain for health insurance. “Right now we’re just looking into our bargaining platform and our different options,” she said. “We’re confident the administration will realize that healthcare is a basic human right.” Campbell said the contract does not cover issues such as medical leave or bereavement for the death of a loved one, and it is important for the graduate student union to have health insurance for these situations. “I think a lot of the things that we’re going to bargain for are basic human rights,” she said. “Those basic human rights are going to be at the forefront of what we’re looking to do at the bargaining table this time around.” The contract between CMU and the graduate student union ends June 30. Campbell said the graduate student union is in preliminary talks with the administration, and they will meet at the end of November or early December, withhopes to begin bargaining over the winter break and into January and February. university@cm-life.com
cheering on their team. Porter said she was really cold but still had a good time. “If you’re a true football fan, it doesn’t matter if it’s raining, cold, hot, sleeting or snowing, because you love the game too much,” Haynes said. “I was very cold, but I stayed the whole time to support my team, even though we lost.” What made the experience special to some were the people they chose to attend the game with. “I guess just being around friends and being around everyone, so we could hype each other up for cheering and stuff,” St. Charles freshman Paige Kushion said when asked what made her first Western game interesting. Haynes said she stayed the whole time, cheering on her football team. “There were many things that made this experience unforgettable, but being with other students that cheered and were excited made it unforgettable,” Haynes said. “Whenever we scored, it was just excitement and noises of joy everywhere I looked. This has truly been a great experience.”

BUSCHLEN| CONTINUED FROM 1A Buschlen said the leadership minor stands out in student development and research opportunities and allows for important personal growth to occur as an undergraduate. “The role of the minor is to prepare students in the program for a life of positive social change,” he said. “For some, leadership is about a position. But in the minor, it’s about a philosophy, about actively giving back to the community in a variety of ways.” There are approximately 550 active students in the leadership minor this year, compared to just 70 when it began in 2006. The leadership minor is for anyone and everyone, Buschlen said, including students at different points throughout their collegiate careers and in different majors or fields. It is a common misconception that only freshmen sign the minor, he said. Last semester, there were many seniors who signed, and they only had to add an extra class or two because previously taken courses counted toward the minor.

is Central.’” Dale-Elizabeth Pehrsson, dean of the college of education and human services, said having transferrable leadership skills is essential in an increasingly globalized world. She is pleased to see so many CMU students demonstrating such solid leadership qualities. “Every time I go on campus, I hear about our students engaging in leadership experiences, and (Buschlen’s) name comes up constantly from students who are engaged with leadership roles. He pushes them to take on leadership challenges,” she said. Buschlen said he never would be where he is if it had not been for support from EHS, RPL and the Leadership Council. Each has served as developing entities of the leadership minor and has made success of the program a possibility. “Really, all I’m doing is standing on shoulders of great mentors who were there for me in my past,” he said. “I’m trying to help students navigate college life and become productive citizens. That will help us all in the future.”

eled by pornographic videos. White was engaged to Gay’s mother and regularly watched Gay’s three-year-old son when she was at work. Following the murder, White returned to Gay’s home to help her son get ready for Halloween and dropped him off at his father’s home, Mioduszewski said. It is unknown if the son was asleep or witnessed anything during the murder, he said. A preliminary examination is scheduled for 8:15 a.m. Thursday before Judge William Rush.
“The most common question I’m asked is, ‘What is the best major to take with the leadership minor?’ I always answer, ‘What field doesn’t need better leaders,” Buschlen said. “The interconnectivity between leadership and human communication, and really any field, is vital to the success of those fields and those careers.” Buschlen said he has a vision for the future, though he said this vision is only in the basic discussion phase so far. He would like to see the development of an entire school of leadership, to include all academic and co-curricular programs under one roof. Programs included would be the minor, Leadership Institute, Leadership Safari, Leadership Camp, LeaderShape and more. “I think Central Michigan University has some of the most unique leadership programs in the country, curricular and co-curricular,” he said. “I would like to see an alignment of these programs at CMU to better serve our students as future leaders.

Charlevoix graduate student Ezra Bakker holds his sugar-glider, Master Shi-Fu, while she enjoys her afternoon snack. “She loves to eat, so it helps to calm her down when meeting new people,” said Bakker, who brought Master Shi-Fu downstairs to meet the neighbor’s hedgehog, Quilly, owned by Iron Mountain junior Krista Testolin Thursday in a Mount Pleasant apartment.
Creative creatures CMU students embrace not-so-average pets Melissa Beauchamp | Senior Reporter
Krista Testolin watched as her pet hedgehog poked its head out of its quill-covered body and ate a strawberry placed on her bed. “He’s a little shy,” the Iron Mountain junior said. “It takes him awhile to warm up.” She was searching Craigslist in August and came across an ad for a pet hedgehog. The next thing she knew, Quilly made himself at home. “It was really an impulse thing,” she said. “It’s probably not the best idea, because this isn’t just a normal pet.” Quilly’s habitat sits on the floor at the end of her bed with his pink blanket and green wheel he runs on at night. Testolin said he is pretty active at night and sleeps most of the day in his hut. Although
Quilly isn’t the liveliest or most vigorous animal, she said she enjoys the short and stout animal’s company as he sits on her lap when she studies. “Sometimes I let him roam free,” she said. “He just trots around my room.” Although the animal is shy, it thrives on human interaction, which Testolin said she makes sure of every day. “How could I not?” she said. “We bond. He’s so adorable.” Testolin said she took a “crash course,” researching
the web how to care for the not-so-average pet. She said the biggest challenge is maintaining her room between 72 and 78 degrees at all times to ensure the exotic animal doesn’t go into hibernation. She had a scare when the temperature decreased at an unsafe level and Quilly wasn’t responding. “It scared the crap out of me,” she said. “They die if it goes into hibernation.” She feeds Quilly cat food, meal worms, fruits and vegetables. His favorite treat is strawberries. “One day, he took the whole bowl of meal worms and ran,” she said. When he’s nervous, Quilly communicates by vocalizing a hissing noise. His long snout nose makes him rely on smell. Testolin said he knows her scent as soon as she opens his cage. Although he seems comfortable with Testolin, she said there is room for improvement. “They live for about five
to eight years,” she said. “We have some time.” Testolin said she doesn’t know where her obsession with hedgehogs came from. For Halloween, she dressed as the exotic animal, quills and all. “I just love his little face,” she said. “It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.” Testolin is not the only one in her apartment complex with an unusual pet. Her neighbor, Ezra Bakker, hangs out with his sugar-glider in his pocket. “I forget he’s there sometimes,” the Charlevoix graduate student said. Master Shi-Fu got his name from the movie “Kung Fu Panda.” The acrobatic animal can do back flips and is known for gliding across the floor. After talking about wanting the animal, Bakker’s girlfriend surprised him last Christmas. Master Shi-Fu came from a breeder in Lansing. A ANIMALS| 5A
Sherry Knight, current interim vice president of communications, is in the running for the permanent position, she said in a recent interview with Central Michigan Life. The search for the associate vice president of university communications began in May, when former associate vice president of communications Renee Walker resigned following a tumultuous year in terms of university communication, including a $10 million university investment for the “privately funded” events center and incorrect amounts paid toward the cmich.edu website redesign. Knight, a CMU alum, was named interim shortly after the announcement of Walker’s resignation. Since then, a committee
has been formed to search for a permanent candidate. Maria Marron, chairwoman of the department of journalism, is head of the search committee, which includes Cali Clark, director of Employment Services; Deborah Gray from Marketing and Hospitality; Merodie Hancock, vice president of Global Campus; Steven Johnson, vice president of Enrollment and Student Serives; Monica Mull, associate director of integrated marketing for University Communications; Bryan Griffin, director of annual giving for Carlin Alumni House and Alumni Relations; Rick Sykes, professor of broadcast and cinematic arts department; Derek van der Merwe, deputy director of Athletics; and Frank Cloutier, public relations director of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

Sheriff: Lawsuit over ‘things we have no control over’ By Hailee Sattavara Metro Editor and Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski was caught by surprise when he learned American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department Tuesday. The suit, the first of its kind while Mioduszewski has been sheriff, claimed conditions at the Isabella County Correctional Facility violate the Eighth Amendment, which protects citizens from cruel and unusual punishment. When the suit is presented to a judge, Mioduszewski said, it will quickly be realized that there is no merit to the case. “We’re going to work with the ACLU the best we can,” Mioduszewski said. The lawsuit includes the complaint for declaratory, injunctive relief and other relief all filed against Isabella
County, Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski and Jail Administrator Lt. Thomas Recker. The plaintiffs, Michael Dunmire, Amanda Hester, Marcus Jackson, Ashley Bush and Sara Dunmire, are all current and prior Isabella County Correctional Facility inmates. “They’re suing us for things we have no control over,” Mioduszewski said. “My goal would be for everyone to do community service in the community.” The plaintiffs claim jail inmates are not permitted to any out-of-cell exercise, have limited opportunities to leave cells and must eat, sleep and shower in cells roughly 20 feet by 25 feet that they share with other inmates. But Mioduszewski said inmates have ample room to exercise in their cells, he said. “In a perfect world, I’d love to have a big gymnasium, but we’re landlocked,” he said. A LAWSUIT| 5A
Stabenow has huge lead against opponent Pete Hoekstra in U.S. Senate race By John Irwin Elections Coordinator
U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., appears to be a lock to be re-elected for her third six-year term, according to a poll released last week. The poll, conducted by the firm EPIC-MRA for the Detroit Free Press and WXYZ-TV, finds Stabenow beating her Republican challenger Pete Hoekstra by 21 percent, 54 percent to 33 percent. The poll
has a margin of error of plus or minus four points. Multiple factors are working in Stabenow’s favor heading into Tuesday’s election, including a money advantage and
high favorability ratings. As of their latest financial disclosure reports to the Federal Election Commission in mid-October, Stabenow has raised nearly three times as much in donations as Hoekstra has. Stabenow has raised more than $14.3 million, compared to the roughly $5.3 million her challenger has raised. “Hoekstra has never had the money to introduce himself to Michigan voters,” EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn told the Free Press.
The poll found very high name recognition and personal favorability rates for Stabenow, who has served as a U.S. Senator since 2001. Only one percent of Michigan voters have not heard of the incumbent, compared to six percent who have not yet heard of Hoekstra. Meanwhile, 54 percent of voters have a favorable impression of Stabenow, while only 34 percent feel the same way about Hoekstra. Stabenow is running away with independent voters, 56
percent to 20 percent, and has peeled 11 percent of the Republican vote away from the former U.S. representative. In comparison, Hoekstra has the vote of three percent of selfidentified Democrats. Similarly, liberal-leaning Public Policy Polling released a poll over the weekend showing Stabenow with a 13-point lead over Hoekstra. PPP pollsters found that Hoekstra’s favorability rating, which stands at 36 percent of likely voters compared to a 41 percent of voters
having a negative opinion of him, fell after his controversial Super Bowl ad. Stabenow holds a 49-percent favorability rating and 38-percent unfavorable rating. According to RealClearPolitics, the last five Michigan U.S. Senate polls all find Hoekstra falling behind Stabenow by double digits. The website’s polling average finds Stabenow ahead by an average of 15.6 percent, as of Nov. 2. metro@cm-life.com
Police hand out 24 MIPs, businesses keep busy over tame Central-Western weekend By Hailee Sattavara Metro Editor and Elizabeth Benson Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University police and the Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department handed out 24 minor in possession citations over the weekend, falling in line with years past. Between the football game against Western Michigan University and police activity, people flocked to and from various locations in the city. Police agencies said weekend arrests and citations were similar to previous years when the rival Broncos have come to town. CMU police handed out 16
MIPs, while Isabella County sheriff ’s deputies issued eight. “These numbers are pretty much in line with previous years of Western weekends,” Lt. Cameron Wassman siad. “The majority of activity occurred offcampus in the evening/night.” Wassman said CMU police noticed that activities Friday and Saturday night were tamer than in the past. “For the football game, while there really wasn’t anything ‘extraordinary’ that happened, this was a very active tailgate,” he said. “It was more active and populated than Homecoming, and while there weren’t quite as many people around, it was a very similar atmosphere to
MSU weekend.” Overall, eight arrests were made by each agency, with two by sheriff ’s deputies and six from CMU police. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said less activity could have been caused by the weather. “One contributing factor might have been the cold weather keeping everyone inside rather than lingering in the courtyard,” he said.

EDITORIAL | A pointless class, fYe suspension the right move
The First-Year-Experience is the last thing we need
Katelyn Sweet Staff Reporter
Every action has a reaction I don’t believe I’m just making it up when I heard somewhere in science class that every action has an equal or opposite reaction, or something of that nature. Science isn’t my forte. But, I believe the same saying can be applied to forms of communication. That is why I write. The sole purpose is to put my emotions, even if they’re stupid and sarcastic, into words. I write because it lets me funnel out everything I’m thinking, and then people can give feedback, but sometimes the feedback isn’t a sincerely thought-out message. A lot of people, myself included, say things they don’t necessarily mean. Typically, these things are instant thoughts and induced off emotion that happens initially without processing any real or well-thought-out feeling. Saying something without any constructive feedback is pointless. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but why say something out of purely unintelligent background of the subject or situation? For example, someone once commented on my column saying “quit complaining!” — totally valid thought, but how is that supposed to enhance my future writing or make me a better writer? If you don’t know me, know my situation and you are just simply reading it to complain to me about my first complaints, where is the logic? And isn’t that kind of hypocritical? I’m a fairly optimistic person, and I love receiving commentary on my writing. I just want people to think about how they react and how it can actually say something about their communication. If your boyfriend or girlfriend, for example, annoys you, do you say something out of initial frustration? Does that really get you anywhere in the grand scheme of things? I have challenged myself lately to hold back from saying things out of my first thoughts in my head and have tried to take into consideration my surroundings, knowledge of the person and my ultimate goal in the situation. I love that we have a freedom of speech and are able to communicate freely with others through the way we place our words. But it’s best to keep in mind that your words are controlled by you, and, once you say them, they can’t be taken back. Every time you say something, there is a reaction initiated by someone else who you have no control over. Thinking about what you want to portray with your words is crucial, and how you say them in context to what else has been said is important.

H
ow many times have you sat through 16 weeks of a class and walked out thinking to yourself, “This was pointless. Why did I just waste my money?” Well, it appears the university has finally realized that, too, opting to suspend the First-Year Experience class promoted to incoming freshmen as a way for them to further become acclimated to campus. Never mind the fact that we already have Leadership Safari and countless registered student organizations to help freshmen, CMU feels the need to continue to walk our freshmen through their first year, or at least the first eight weeks.
The FYE course takes encouraging students to get involved on campus to a whole new level. Through mandatory participation, students are immersed in the way of life at CMU, whether they care to be part of it or not. The students who will make a difference and become involved members of the campus community will do so by choice, not because a one-credit introductory class forced them to. While some who teach the course
bring excitement and worthwhile assignments to the classroom, most do not share their excitement, and FYE becomes another meeting to autopilot through. FYE could be worthwhile if it was executed correctly and was a legitimate use of students’ time. But alas, for $365, students sit through RSO meetings they’re not interested in and write one-page papers that mostly end up being fluff. A worthwhile first-year experience does not arise from being forced to attend meetings and writing short papers. It happens when people intentionally seek out clubs and groups they are interested in
being a part of. Those who enjoy their time at CMU seek out their own extracurricular activities and, as a result, are more likely to stick with them. It should be noted, however, that some freshmen might need an extra push to get involved on campus, but charging them to sit through a lackluster class and pay for an extra credit hour is not the answer. Perhaps putting FYE on hiatus will help the University reevaluate the impact the course has had a students, but hopefully they will put together a committee before the last of a dying FYE veterans breed graduates or drops out of CMU.

Election indifference
[ YOUR VOICE ] Online Reader comments on the Nov. 3 “SLIDESHOW: Broncos score 28 fourth-quarter points, beat Chippewas 42-31 Saturday“ story “As a fifth-year senior, I have attended all five Central-Western games home and away. It truly saddens me to compare the atmosphere my freshman year to this year. There was a lack of alumni and students today. I laugh at the idea of CMU considering selling tickets to students, because the stadium would be empty. Enos has driven this program into the ground. When will someone admit this hiring was a mistake and correct it? Even if we have a couple years of rebuilding, would it be any worse than things are now? Many like to talk FCS, but let’s be honest, that will not happen. Look at Eastern, Akron and some of the Sunbelt schools; if they haven’t hit FCS, we won’t. Time to move on, Heeke” -Student “Hopefully CMU will be seeking a new football coaching staff and a new athletic director after this season. There is no way that Enos ever should have been hired. You don’t hire a running backs coach as head coach. Enos destroyed the CMU football program and his coaching future. There is no way he will ever coach Division 1 again.” -BrianC “From #22 in the country to #96+ in just 2.5 years! Let’s make it a trifecta --- Ross, Heeke, Enos et al out the door!!!” -CE “Are you kidding? This is coaching malpractice. Again, where is the president? FCS next year?” -Admiral
“I see now the CMU PR dept. lists 15,000 and some change. Was that really the crowd? Or less. Maybe, if we throw some gift certificates into the deal from the Pixie, Dantonio might rescue us. Sparty lost again today, although on a bad referee’s call. They got robbed. Wonder when the last time we had a crowd that low for the Western game in Mt. Pleasant? Probably have to go back to the 1960s.” michmediaperson “It’s funny how three good years spoils everyone. News flash, CMU is in the MAC. We aren’t going to be winning national championships anytime soon, and players like Dan LeFevour aren’t going to be walking through the door every single year. That team was a once-in-a-lifetime team. It takes time to win, especially changing systems. Dan Enos coaches the offense; he calls the plays. The offense has been good enough in the three years in order to win, and Ryan Radcliff has taken a big step forward this year. If you want the problem, point the blame at Joe Tumpkin, the defensive coordinator who might be on his way out after this year. Sure, ultimately the blame falls on Enos for keeping him this long. However, it is very rare to find a coach who knows both offense and defense. They usually are a specialist in one and rely on good assistants for the other side of the ball. Dan deserves one more year with a new defensive coordinator. If he doesn’t have the guts to fire him, that’s on him. The talent is there, but a new defensive look is needed. BTW, for those of you who keep crying about the spread, we threw the ball 40 times this weekend.
Look at the success of Ohio, no spread and are usually right at the top of the league. It’s a lame excuse. We also beat Iowa with this offense.” -A realistic fan “Fellas and gals, we are wasting our energy in this forum. Even if we get a new head coach, CMU will still hire a bum from the same “former Big Ten associate” hiring company.” -hurricanebilly “Many programs, once they see the direction a coach is going, will change course after three terrible seasons. Anyone remember Rich Rod at U of M after three lousy seasons? He went 6-6 his last year and was still sent packing after his embarrassing bowl game loss. He could beat lesser schools but was not competitve in the Big 10. See a similarity? Enos cannot win in the MAC and barely beats any non-conference opponents. Hoke came in at Michigan and saw the type of players that were there and changed his style to fit the athletes. Enos came to CMU and tried to mold the remaining players from Kelley/Jones into his Big Ten style offense. A new coach coming in after this season to CMU could not be any worse than Enos.....unless they were to lose EVERY game. I believe the stadium is announcing tickets sold and not actual butts in the seats. Enos has alienated the fan base with his “I have a vision and plan”.......cut your losses before nobody but the band is left in the stands. My string of four-straight season ticket purchases is over until a product worth spending my money on is put on the field. Players, not your fault....bad decisions by AD and a terrible coach have ruined your college football experience.” -CMU 87
Tomorrow, the election will occur, and, hopefully by late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, we will know who the next president of the United States will be. I’m kind of indifferent, and I almost don’t care. I care just enough to tune into CNN and stay up-to-date about the happenings of the Obama and Romney campaigns right up until the final votes are tallied. It’s sort of like the last few innings of the World Series or the last few minutes of the NBA Finals. I’ll tune in for a moment, then once, I know the winner, I go back to whatever happened to be occupying my time. That’s about the extent to which I care about the elections this year, or any year for that matter. And the old creed of “if you don’t vote, you can’t complain” applies here. So I won’t complain. I’ll just go on living. For me, on the most basic level, elections and voting don’t change how I live my day-to-day life. Or maybe they do in such ways I’m totally unaware of. It’s probably a bit of both. I’m a journalist. Staying informed on local, state and national issues is kind of a prerequisite. Mostly though, my television in my room is off, and I’ll check CNN on my phone a couple times a day. Not too much on the informationgathering front. Staying informed and making an informed decision about who the next leader of the free world will be is pretty important. That’s the reason I’m not voting this year: I honestly care too much that I hold myself to a high standard of knowledge regarding issues, and, if I don’t know the issues, voting on them seems kind of absurd. It’s like buying a house without a thorough inspection first. No one would do that. It’s not that I don’t care. It might seem that way since I’m not voting, but it’s quite the opposite.

CMU theater debuting romantic play ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ on Wednesday By Katelyn Sweet Staff Reporter
Charlotte Bodak/Assistant Photo Editor
Walled Lake junior Courtney Lindsay plays with her six-month-old child Liam Wednesday morning at 3738 South Isabella Road. “The Student Parent RSO has provided me with so much encouragement throughout my life with Liam,” Lindsay said. “It has shown me that being a single parent, following through with college and obtaining your degree is achievable, although you will be very busy.”
New RSO plans to provide support, guidance for student parents By Sarah Donetti Staff Reporter
A new registered student organization is seeking to change the struggle some student parents face on campus. Katelyn Gerardi, a Saint Charles senior and president of the new Parents Attending Central RSO, said the group’s goal is to help student parents however they can to finish their degrees. “We’ve been spreading the word that it’s possible to parent and stay in school and not drop out,” Gerardi said. Gerardi said the idea for an RSO for student parents came about last year after Gerardi was featured in a CM Life story last year about balancing her schoolwork and raising her son Brayden, now two-and-a-half years old. “Three different individuals contacted me asking ‘How do you manage it?’” Gerardi said. “That’s when it came up that maybe there should be an RSO for parents. It was concerning that there wasn’t already one with a university this large.” One of those individuals was Walled Lake junior
Western | continued from 3A “We usually get more MIPs and furnishings,” Mioduszewski said. This weekend, 10 furnishing citations were handed out by sheriff ’s deputies. In addition, 20 citations were handed out for loud parties, and 19 warnings were given. Overall, Mioduszewski said he was pleased with the way the weekend played out. It wasn’t as bad as it could have been, he said, but he would have liked to see CMU win the football game. In addition to the aforementioned citations, CMU police made one non-
lawsuit | continued from 3A The jail was built in the 1950s, and there is no room to expand outwardly or through building up from the current jail, Mioduszewski said. A new facility would be a multi-million-dollar investment, which is something the county doesn’t have resources for and Mioduszewski said he wouldn’t make taxpayers pay for. Additionally, the three women on the case argue female inmates are denied opportunities available to male inmates, including serving as trustees, a position that entitles them to time off their sentence. They allege Lt. Rucker rejected requests by women to be trustees on several occasions, claiming ICCF to be a “male-oriented jail.” They claim women are no longer allowed to participate in the community-service program, which allows inmates to be released from the jail during the day to complete the community service component of their sentence. The plaintiffs said the jail vindicates the rights of female inmates under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, which states the facility’s custom, policy or practice violates the right to be free from gender discrimination.
Courtney Lindsay, now Parents Attending Central’s vice president. “I was about 15 weeks pregnant and was sitting at my apartment when I glanced down at the paper that one of my roommates brought home,” Lindsay said. “Katelyn’s story and picture of her with her son, Brayden, was on the front cover. Thanks to Facebook, I was able to get in touch with her.” Lindsay said the communication she had with Gerardi was very helpful, because she had someone to share her experiences with as she started the process of parenting her son Liam, now six months old. “I guess this is all a huge reason as to why I wanted to be a part of this RSO and help start it,” Lindsay said. “Katelyn was such a big help to me. Friends don’t really get everything that you go through when you are pregnant and have a baby, unless they are a parent themselves and have gone through it.” Having a baby brings a lot of joy and happiness to Lindsay, she said, but it is also a lot of hard work.
“There are lots of late nights staying up to do homework after the baby goes to sleep, because he just wanted to be held, preventing you from doing homework earlier in the day,” Lindsay said. She looks forward to showing similar support for other students through Parents Attending Central. “You far too often hear of young girls getting pregnant and dropping out of school because they don’t think they can handle it,” Lindsay said. “But that’s not the case. Sometimes all that it takes is a friend and some motivation from seeing another mom do it that helps you get through.” One of the goals Gerardi would like to look at with Parents Attending Central is to pursue volunteer-based daycare options for when parents are in school in addition to the HeadStart program on campus. “Even if there are only five people to help with daycare, we want to do anything to help parents graduate,” Gerardi said.

doesn’t change a lot for us, because we know it’s going to be busy, and we prepare for that.” As the weekend came and went, many community businesses saw much more traffic than usual. Morgan Saxton, service manager at Bennigan’s, 2424 S. Mission, said the business saw its busiest rush happen between 3 and 9 p.m. And while it wasn’t as busy as when MSU came to town, the store was pleased with the amount of business it saw. “The economic impact of the game met our expectations,” Saxton said. “Although, we would always like to see even more business (during) community events.”
Economic impact
With WMU on Mount Pleasant soil, local businesses took various measures to adequately prepare. Big games like this often have a big impact on the business community of Mount Pleasant. “We overstaff, make sure our orders as far as beer and food are bigger,” said Craig Stage, manager at the Cabin, 930 W. Broomfield. “It

Senior Kelsey Braman said having the “Scarlet Pimpernel” as her final show in her days of theatre at Central Michigan University is a dream come true. The Holt native said there is something everyone can enjoy in the production, which will be taking place Wednesday through Sunday in Bush Theatre. “Romantics will enjoy the love triangle between Percy, Marguerite and Chauvelin,” Braman said. “History buffs will love the time period and the references to real events and real people. Everyone will be smitten with the costumes, hair, set pieces and talent, and the orchestra is incredibly talented.”
Animals | continued from 3A The marsupial spends time during the day sleeping in the hanging hammock on his cage or in Bakker’s pocket. “I’ve gone to the grocery store with him in my pocket before,” he said. The nocturnal animal goes “crazy” at night and roams around the apartment as he pleases, Bakker said. “It wouldn’t be hard to
knight | continued from 3A “It is a national search with the goal of hiring the best possible person for the job,” Marron said in an email. “The search committee is conducting video conference interviews with seven semifinalists this week, with a view to narrowing the search to two or three finalists.” Marron declined to name any of the semifinalists.
The play is set in the late 1800s, telling a story of a brave group of Englishmen who risk their lives to save victims of the guillotine in a tale themed of loyalty, betrayal, passion and love. Sophomore play member Alexander Cabala said the play is a superhero story like “Batman,” but it’s set in the time period of the French Revolution. The Portage native said this play has something for every member of the audience. Cabala said he wants students to come see the play, because it is relative to real life with its main theme of loyalty. “Whether that something is a person, their country or anything else, loyalty is something everyone has in their life in some form,” Cabala said. Braman said the plot is
filled with variety and intricacies, making the plot very powerful for the audience. “This musical is part action movie; there are sword fights and heads being sliced off. It is part comedy, (and) there are some hysterical scenes,” Cabala said. Braman said this show is one of the biggest that she has seen or been a part of at CMU. The show is based on historical events, so Braman said there were a few challenges in getting character roles as accurate as possible. “Everything, from the way we speak to the way we walk to the way we hold our arms, is different than what we are used to. Being in this show is like stepping back into time,” Braman said.
lose him,” he said. “I keep close tabs.” Bakker said the sugarglider gets an attitude when he wakes up, and getting him back into his cage after freedom outside of the habitat can be a difficult process. Along with watching the animal’s acrobatic tendencies, Bakker plays “dressup” with Master Shi-Fu. Master Shi-Fu has a cowboy hat and sombrero he wears when eating. Bakker said his friends will come over just to visit his animal, and no one can seem to
get over his big, bubbly eyes. For the first time, Testolin and Bakker brought together their exotic animals to meet. The two didn’t seem to be bothered by each other and went about their business. As Bakker held Master ShiFu as he snacked on a strawberry, Testolin held Quilly in her hands. “Man, I wish everybody thought I was that cute when I was eating,” Bakker said.
As vice president of communications, the candidate would work to promote CMU through strategic communications and by providing creative consultation and production coordination to help those at CMU reach their communication goals. Knight, a semi-finalist in the search, signed a sixmonth contract in May that pays her $1,500 per day of work in Mount Pleasant. She said she knew what needed to improve at CMU and would use openness and integrity to move forward.
“CMU needs to be top of the mind across the state among students, parents and alumni,” Knight told CM Life in May. “We need to have strong consistent communications to achieve it.” Knight declined comment Thursday in respect to her candidacy. On-campus interviews will take Nov. 12, Nov. 14 and Nov. 16., although the date to announce who is chosen for the position is still to be determined.

Women’s soccer loses MAC tournament title game, still hopes for NCAA bid By Emily Grove Staff reporter
High hopes of another Mid-American Conference Tournament championship were dashed for the Central Michigan women’s soccer team on Sunday with a 2-1 loss to Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The game-winning goal came from freshman forward Hailey Pleshakov, who scored on a header that went off the fingertips of senior goalkeeper Stefanie Turner.
In the 59th minute, as the ball rolled to the end line, freshman Haley Walter kept the ball in play Stefanie Turner with a sliding pass to sophomore midfielder Katy Dolesh, who then centered the ball and set up Pleshakov’s header to give the RedHawks the 2-1 lead. Senior defender Bailey Brandon said the loss
couldn’t be chalked up to one thing in particular. “They have a great offense, and we made two mistakes that cost us,” Brandon said. “We went into the game and said we had to score a couple of goals, and we couldn’t do that either.” The Chippewas battled for 90 minutes but were not able to find the back of the net after the team’s only goal by freshman defender Danielle Rotheram. The first goal of the game came when Walter scored
at the 4:17 mark off a pass from junior forward Jess Kodiak. Sliding the ball past Turner as she charged forward, Walter scored her ninth goal of the season. “We were dealing with speed,” head coach Neil Stafford said. “They have a lot of quick players that can get in behind you, and that’s what they did. It’s unfortunate, because we worked on it quite a bit, but we couldn’t keep up with the pace of Miami’s forwards.” Rotheram answered the first goal in the 32nd min-
ute, tapping the ball in off a cross booted in from junior midfielder Kaely Schlosser. Another Danielle Rotheram shot by Rotheram came in the 51st minute and was one of CMU’s best chances to score again, but the ball was saved by sophomore goalkeeper Allison Norenberg. Norenberg recorded four saves in the game, while
Turner had a pair. The Chippewas out-shot the RedHawks nine to seven, and each team had 10 fouls called. Brandon had the only yellow card of the game. Senior defender Katie Slaughter said MAC games are always physical, and tournament games bring a whole new element. “The emotions are running high because of the possibility of this being the last game for the seniors,” A SOCCER | 5B

Loss epitomizes the Enos era The Western Michigan game Saturday epitomized the season and Dan Enos’ three-year tenure at Central Michigan. CMU looked strong out of the gates but couldn’t capitalize on early opportunities. Miscues came back to cost the Chippewas, and the opposing team came back to win it at the end. That’s what we’ve seen from CMU in the past three years under Enos. He has brought in good recruiting classes and has a talented team that can play. The potential is there, but that hasn’t shown on the scoreboard at the end of the day. CMU dominated the first quarter of the game but only led 6-0. Three long drives ended with only six points. Then WMU scored on blown coverages and missed tackles in the second quarter. It’s been those kind of dumb mistakes that have killed this program the past three years. On the opposite side of that, the offense looked phenomenal at times. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff was putting the ball all over the field for 383 yards. Sophomore receiver Titus Davis had a career day, and, once again, Zurlon Tipton ran for more than 100 yards for the third consecutive game. You can see the pieces are all there, the talent is there, but the wins aren’t. It’s little mistakes – not from one guy, but the collective group. Davis had a great day, no mistake about it, but he had two drops in the end zone. Sophomore Courtney Williams fumbled the ball away with two minutes left on a kick return. Avery Cunningham did not wrap up a receiver after a reception, allowing him to bounce off him and rumble into the end zone. Most of those players had good games, but the small – sometimes big – miscues add up. The Chippewas have made mistakes all season and throughout the Enos era at CMU. CMU has to start winning these games. Yes, you can see the program has talent and has potential, but, at some point, you have to reach that potential and turn it into wins. And right now, Enos is not doing that. sports@cm-life.com

coming up short Broncos score 28 fourth-quarter points, beat Chippewas 42-31 Saturday
By Brandon Champion | Staff reporter
Before Saturday’s game, the Central Michigan football team had only lost to its rival Western Michigan twice in the last eight seasons. But this season’s defeat will be hard to swallow after allowing 28 fourth-quarter points and committing a costly turnover late in the team’s 42-31 loss. Saturday’s loss to the instate rival Broncos in front of 15,322 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium dropped the Chippewas to 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the Mid-American Conference. “It’s unfortunate to say, but the last couple years we’ve been in this situation before,” quarterback Ryan Radcliff said. “There’s no quit in our guys.” The Chippewas have three games remaining on their
schedule, which means a .500 season is still an attainable goal, and head coach Dan Enos said that would be a succesful season. “Absolutely,” he said. “We have to get win number four right now, that’s our goal. We’re going to Eastern Michigan next week. We need to look at this game, critique it and move forward.” Saturday’s game featured five lead changes, especially in the fourth quarter when neither defense could stop the other team’s offense.

Junior midfielder Erica Garwood runs the ball down the field at the Field Hockey Complex during the game against Kent State on Oct. 27. The Chippewas lost the game 1-0 in double overtime.
The 2012-13 field hockey season came to a disappointing end Friday as Central Michigan was bounced from the Mid-American Conference tournament by Kent State in Oxford, Ohio. The team’s defense that kept it in the hunt for a conference title was exposed by KSU’s second-ranked offense, dropping the tournament opener, 3-2. It was the third-straight season the Chippewas were eliminated a round before the MAC Championship game by KSU. Sophomore Julia Hofmann,
the conference’s leading-scorer, scored the game-winner for KSU in the 60th minute off a penalty corner. Her first goal, a shot that bounced off a CMU player, gave KSU its first lead of the game in the 29th minute, 2-1. “She’s got my vote for player of the year in the conference,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “She’s just that kind of player.” CMU challenged first offensively. Sophomore Mary Alice Moore was the first to take a shot, which went left of the net. Sophomore Cayleigh Immelman was more accurate, giving the Chippewas the 1-0 lead in the 9th minute. “We were really excited,
really pumped,” junior Erica Garwood said. “We knew what we needed to do, and it was to score, because last weekend, when we played them, we couldn’t score.” It was the first goal by CMU in the previous 214 minutes of play, going back to its game against Michigan State on Oct. 21. But one minute later, the Golden Flashes responded with a goal. “It certainly gave our team confidence, getting on the board first,” Freese said. “But Kent (State) was able to answer everything, and we were not able to sit on that first lead very long.” A FIELD HOCKEY| 5B

Red zone struggles, defensive woes continue By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter

Sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis reaches for a pass during the second half against Western Michigan Saturday afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. CMU lost 42-31.
Ryan Radcliff, Titus Davis rack up stats in loss to WMU By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter
Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff’s season-best 383 passing yards and sophomore receiver Titus Davis’ career-high 208 receiving yards were not enough to propel the football team to victory Saturday against Western Michigan. Radcliff completed 26 of his 41 passes, but several drops, including two in the end zone, could have improved those numbers. “I thought Ryan Radcliff played outstanding and thought, for the most part, our offense played very well,” head coach Dan Enos said. His one touchdown pass was a 58-yard connection to Davis on a seam route. Davis was able to continuously find holes in the WMU secondary, catching four passes longer than 25 yards. He finished with 10 catches, tying a career-high. “We thought they (the Broncos) couldn’t hold up on him, and it turned out to be true,” Enos said. “We had more downthe-field routes to Titus this week based on all the man-cov-

Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff looks to the scoreboard during the second half of Saturday’s game against Western Michigan at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Radcliff completed 26 of 41 passes for 383 yards and one touchdown during Central Michigan’s 42-31 loss to the Broncos.
erage and everything we saw. I thought Ryan did a good job of finding him, and I thought our offensive line did a good job of giving him protection.” Saturday’s game was the third time this season Davis eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark. He is also the first CMU player to have over 200 receiving yards since 2005.
“Titus definitely stepped up today,” Radcliff said. “He was getting open and making plays, so we kept giving him the ball, and, if we can continue to get that from him the rest of the season, that would be great.” As a sophomore, Davis’ 16 career touchdowns is tied for sixth all-time in CMU history. He is also tied for second in
the Mid-American Conference with eight touchdowns this season. His 831 receiving yards ranks him second in the conference as well. CMU will travel to Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m. Saturday to face the Eagles. sports@cm-life.com
Wrestling
CMU to open season Tuesday at home against U-M By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter
The CMU wrestling team has a winning record all-time against every Division I team in the state of Michigan but one. The one team is No. 13 Michigan, and it will wrestle No. 17 Central Michigan 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at McGuirk Arena. “We want to try to be the best team in the state, year in and year out,” head coach Tom Borrelli said in September. “And, usually, Michigan is battling us for that.” CMU is 5-20 against the Wolverines all-time, losing its last two duals against them. U-M will bring four wrestlers ranked by InterMat’s weight class rankings to Mount
Pleasant. The Chippewas have five ranked wrestlers who will visit the mat. But the 125-pound division is only one that will match two top-20 wrestlers. No. 10 ranked Joe Roth, a junior, will square off against junior No. 15 Sean Boyle. Roth did well in his first year as a full-time starter last season, only losing two matches in 20 dual meets after going 0-2 in dual meets his freshman season. “Joe Roth made huge strides last year,” Borrelli told CMU Wrestling Insider. “We’re looking for that to continue.” Boyle also improved from his freshman to sophomore season, winning eight more matches than his freshman
season overall, to tally a 28-15 record. But he did redshirt last season, though. Seniors Scotti Sentes and Jarod Trice return to the lineup after redshirting last season. Sentes, a 133-pounder, did not compete because of an undisclosed injury. Sophomore Zach Horan, filling in for him, was one win away from being an All-American and will likely redshirt this year. Trice, a heavyweight, took a year off of school to pursue the Olympics. “I got great experience from all parts of the world,” Trice told CMU Wrestling Insider. “It helped me reach that next level of wrestling I was looking for.”
Peter Sturgeon, who has graduated, filled in for Trice by making it to the NCAA Championships. Sentes, Trice and senior Ben Bennett are all in the top of their divisions nationally, entering the game at No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5 respectively. “All three bring tremendous scoring potential, which creates excitement with the fans,” Borrelli said. Borrelli said Sentes uses his long physical frame to score points from many positions. He called Bennett “the workhorse of our program,” while Trice brings passion and charisma. sports@cm-life.com
The Central Michigan offense had more than 500 yards of total offense Saturday, but all the talk after the game was about its miscues. The offense moved the ball deep into Western Michigan territory for the first three possessions of the game, but dropped passes and a blocked field goal held them to only six points. Not capitalizing on touchdowns was what head coach Dan Enos and senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff harped on after the game. “The stats are all very similar; we each had a turnover,” Enos said. “We just didn’t capitalize in the red zone, and they had about two more (big) plays than we did.” Radcliff threw for 383 yards and a touchdown but had two more touchdown passes dropped by sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis. “We can’t be kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns,” Radcliff said. “Anytime we can get points, that’s great, but, especially games like this, you have to get in the end zone.” It wasn’t just the failure to score that cost CMU. Sophomore wide receiver Courtney Williams fumbled on a kick return with 2:26 left in the game down by five. “I thought our guys played with great effort, and there was an unfortunate fumble on the kickoff,” Enos said. “We would have had the ball on the 50-yard line, first-and-10. We were moving the ball and felt good.”
Defensive woes
Enos didn’t put all the blame on the offense’s inability to score touchdowns, pointing out the
“That’s the frustrating part, because when our defense was playing well, they’re pretty good. But we have too many lapses, and we gave up too many explosive plays.” Dan Enos, head football coach defensive issues, too. “We are still not where we need to be on defense,” he said. “They had 500 yards of offense and scored 40 points. So, when you get in games and we’re scoring 31 points, 38 points, 34 points, we’ve got to start winning some of these games. “That’s the frustrating part, because when our defense was playing well, they’re pretty good. But we have too many lapses, and we gave up too many explosive plays.” WMU particularly scored at will in the fourth quarter. The Broncos scored a touchdown on each of the four possessions they had in the last 15 minutes. Radcliff said while it is frustrating having to score a lot of points to win, the offense didn’t put the defense in good positions. “It’s disappointing; we had opportunities and didn’t score,” Radcliff said. “In a game like this, a big rivalry game, it’s going to come down to the little fine details, and we didn’t do them.” sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball defeats Ohio 3-2 Saturday, snaps six-match losing streak By Morgan Yuncker Staff Reporter

Senior midfielder Bailey Brandon, left, and senior goalkeeper Stefanie Turner pose for a portrait Wednesday at the Indoor Athletic Complex. “We’ve been playing soccer together since we were six years old,” Brandon said.
A winning friendship: Bailey Brandon, Stefanie Turner bond on and off the field By Emily Grove Staff Reporter
After 15 years of playing soccer together, Bailey Brandon and Stefanie Turner are preparing to hang-up their cleats together. Both seniors on Central Michigan’s women soccer team, Brandon a defender and Turner a goalkeeper, have been playing on the pitch together since they were six years old. Because they went to different elementary and middle schools, it wasn’t until attending high school at Livonia Churchill and continuing to play club soccer for Livonia United that the two became close. Attending CMU solidified their bond. “We’re together all day, every day. It’s hard not to be close,” Turner said. “In high school, you go home and may not see each other, and you just see each other in school and at practice, but, here, we live together.” During freshman year, the two attempted to live apart in order to meet new people, but, by sophomore year, Brandon and Turner decided to move in together. Although Brandon said they have similar living habits, there were still some things learned about each other that tested their patience, if only mildly. Turner has a disdain for cheese and its stringy nature as it drips off pizza, which Brandon happens to love. Brandon also has a tendency to not clear the microwave timer of any remaining minutes or seconds — a small pet peeve of Turner’s. “I didn’t realize people find that so irritating,” Brandon laughed. On the field, the girls both agreed they balance each other out. Turner admits to being too laid back at times, and Brandon said she knows she can be a little too energized. “She’s got the drive and makes me want to keep going when I don’t necessarily want to, because she’s determined and she’s competitive and I want to jump on that,” Turner said “And she reels me in. She has no problem telling me when to cool it or to pull me back to reality,” Brandon said. Although Brandon and Turner were close in high school, they didn’t really decide together to come to CMU — Turner visited first to get the ball rolling.
However, once she knew CMU was the place for her, Turner then began working on convincing Brandon to join her. “She told me how I needed to go to Central and how much she liked it,” Brandon said. “At the time, I liked to say I didn’t go here because of her. I mean, obviously I didn’t, but, looking back, I guess I admit it was definitely a perk.” Playing in college was an adjustment for both Turner and Brandon, with Turner not clocking much playing time her freshman and sophomore years. Having goalkeeper Shay Mannino behind Brandon instead of Turner was something Brandon had to get used to. “It was hard for me, because (Turner’s) always been behind me. Shay was amazing, but she’s different,” Brandon said. “I have no problem putting (Stefanie) under a little bit of pressure, because I know she can handle it.” In their four years at CMU, Brandon and Turner earned numerous honors. Together, they have two MAC regular season titles and two MAC tournament titles under their belts from 2009 and 2010. In 2009, Brandon was named MAC Freshman of the Year. For the 2011-2012 academic year, Brandon earned the Dick Enberg Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, and, this year, she was named MAC Defensive Player of the Year. Turner joins Brandon with All-MAC first team honors this year, and they both have also been selected for the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic AllDistrict V first-team. This year, Turner recorded 11 shutouts and a 0.67 goals against average. Sunday, Brandon and Turner failed to come home with another MAC tournament championship to end their careers after they were defeated 2-1 by Miami University. Though devastated by the loss, Brandon said she’s hoping the team will be able to continue their season with a run in the NCAA women’s soccer tournament. “Nobody wants to go out this way. We’ve been fortunate enough to be in the final four every year since I’ve been here,” Brandon said. “… We have our fingers crossed and hope all the hard work pays off and we get a chance to represent the MAC the way it should be represented.”
As their last year being able to call themselves collegiate soccer players draws to a close, Brandon and Turner both are preparing for the future with mixed emotions. “We’re both going to miss soccer a lot, but we’re ready to start the next chapter in our lives,” Turner said. “Soccer’s been our lives since we were four and it’s kind of exciting and nerve-racking to move on to adult life. It’s completely stepping out of our comfort zone.” Brandon said soccer has been like a security blanket, and soon she will have to step out into the world as the blanket is ripped away. Conversations between the two have turned from what they will eat for dinner to what the next step is going to be as they step out into a world post-soccer and post-CMU. Turner, a biomedical sciences major with a 3.85 GPA, plans to get her master’s degree at Wayne State University in genetics counseling. Brandon, a law and economics major with a 3.94 GPA, will look for a job while taking a year off to prepare for law school and the LSAT. When leaving the game, Brandon and Turner both know they’ll walk away with plenty of fond memories, such as Brandon’s winning penalty kick in 2009 against Toledo to advance CMU to the MAC tournament championship or this year’s 2-0 win against West Virginia where Turner recorded five saves. But for the girls, those are just a few instances in the span of their lengthy careers together. “I can’t tell you how many times she’s bailed me out, and I’d like to think I’ve kicked a few balls off the end line a couple of times for her, too,” Brandon said. “It’s not specific memories we have; it’s more the confidence of having each other. I don’t think people realize how much it helps when you hear the one voice of the person you’ve been hearing for so long, telling you it’s OK when you mess up.” No matter where they go or end up as their lives take different directions, they both know they’ll be able to remain friends, telling each other that things will be OK. “We’ll always be in contact,” Turner said. “Whether or not we’re in close proximity doesn’t matter.” sports@cm-life.com

Women’s volleyball defeated Mid-American Conference leader Ohio 3-2 Saturday night to put an end to its six-game losing streak. “It felt right, in terms of our team; we play with passion,” head coach Erik Olson said. “I think there was a much better momentum-building on our side of the net tonight.” The night not only put an end to a losing streak, it also secured a spot in the MidAmerican Conference tournament for Central Michigan. Senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude became the 15th player to join the 1,000-kill club after recording 15 kills Saturday. She has 1,004 career kills. CMU came out strong the first game, leading the Bobcats from start to finish. CMU won the match 25-20, earning the match point after a four-point rally by Ohio. “I thought our team did a great job of fighting tonight; we certainly fought and fought well,” Olson said. The second set was point-
Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter
Finally! It has been more than 10 years since the women’s volleyball team beat Ohio in the regular season, and it has been 23 days since Central Michigan’s last match win and 14 days since it last won a single set. That all came to an end for the Chippewas on Saturday with an intense five-set win over the Bobcats. “That was a big deal for this program, to get that initial win in the regular season
for-point the entire way. After two controversial calls, the Chippewas prevailed in extra points, wining 26-24. The Bobcats started off the third match with a comfortable lead until they found themselves stuck on point 19 while the Chippewas played catch-up. CMU failed to finish the comeback as Ohio won 25-20. The excitement continued into game four where both teams fought for the win of every point. Ohio came out on top, defeating the Chippewas 25-23. CMU ended the match with a 15-12 win over Ohio. “In practice, all week, we have been talking about passion,” junior defensive specialist Jenna Coates said. “Just looking in everyone’s eyes tonight, everyone knew and could tell we were going to get this win.” The offense was led by senior outside hitter Val Deweerd with 16 kills and Dulude with 15. “That was the most aggressive, best match I have ever seen Val play tonight,” Olson said. “You could just see it in
her eyes and the way she was playing, she was feeling it.” Sophomore middle blocker Halle Enderle came into the match the last two sets and had five kills and three blocks. “I always love the opportunity to get in and provide for my team,” Enderle said. “I just liked to hit the ball super hard. I figured, if I hit it hard enough, fast enough, they couldn’t touch it.” Defensively, Coates held strong, recording 30 digs. Junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre and Dulude also made big plays defensively. “My block was awesome and did a really good job,” Coates said. “We got a lot of digs and got the ball high so Kelly could step in and get some good sets.” CMU will wrap up its regular season at McGuirk Arena Friday against Toledo and Saturday against Ball State. At 13-12, 7-7 in the MAC, the Chippewas sit behind Western Michigan, Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan in the West.
(against Ohio),” head coach Erik Olson said. “Now we’ve done it in the tournament and the regular season, and it really helps us move forward.” Before the six-match losing streak, CMU was sitting atop the Mid-American Conference West Division, and it looked like qualifying for the MAC Tournament was a given. But, 23 days later, the Chippewas came into the match still needing a win to solidify its spot in the tournament and they were sitting as the No. 8 seed, the last spot in the tournament. Last year, CMU ended the MAC Championship drought with the program’s first title. Saturday’s match had a lot of similarities to that MAC Championship match against Northern Illinois. The Chippewas took an early 2-0 match lead and then dropped sets three and four to go to a decisive fifth set, which CMU won 15-12 this year, and
beat the Huskies 15-11 last season. Ohio was the top team in the MAC, as was NIU in the finals last season. And much like that match last season to win the MAC Championship, the Chippewas played their most competitive match of the season. This match was an important one for CMU for so many reasons. It needed to end the match and set losing streak to clinch a spot in the tournament. But a win over the Bobcats for the first time in the regular season in more than 10 years is a much-needed boost of confidence for the Chippewas. “This win was important more of in an emotional sense,” outside hitter/middle blocker Hallie Enderle said. “More than standings and record, because, after a while, you just get hungry for that win.”

recap | continued from 1B The only turnover for the Chippewas came just after WMU junior quarterback Tyler Van Tubbergen threw his fourth touchdown pass of the game to senior wide receiver Eric Monette to give the Broncos a 35-31 lead with less than three minutes to go. On the ensuing kickoff, sophomore wide receiver Courtney Williams returned the ball to the CMU 39-yard line. He was hit from behind and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the Broncos. Even after the turnover, CMU still had a chance to get the ball back, but, three plays later, WMU junior running back Dareyon Chance scored from 42 yards out to make it 42-31. The deficit was too much for the Chippewas to overcome. “We have to build Courtney up,” Enos said. “We need to show support, because no one feels worse than he does. I’ve been in football a long time, and I’ve seen guys react in different ways when something like that happens. We’re going to support him, because that’s not the play that cost us the game.” The Chippewas attempted
field goals on their first three drives of the game. Senior kicker David Harman made the last two from 37 and 22 yards, respectively, after having his 43-yard field goal attempt blocked on the first drive of the game. The CMU defense set up the only touchdown for the Chippewas in the first half. With WMU operating out of its own end zone, Van Tubbergen was pressured and threw an ill-advised pass over the middle, which was intercepted by junior linebacker Shamari Benton, who returned the ball to the WMU 1-yard line. From there, junior running back Zurlon Tipton ran it in to make it 14-13 WMU. CMU took the lead in the third quarter when Radcliff connected with sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis for a 58-yard touchdown to make it 23-14 with 4:06 to go in the quarter. Davis finished with a careerhigh 10 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown and became the first Chippewa to have 200 yards receiving since 2005. WMU responded minutes into the fourth quarter when Van Tubbergen completed a 28-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Justin Collins to cut the CMU lead to 23-21. Collins scored his second touchdown pass of the game
FIELD HOCKEY | continued from 1B Garwood, the team’s thirdleading scorer, tied the game at 2-2 in the 40th minute. “Even though we did score against them today, we needed more from our offense,” Garwood said. “It just didn’t work
out the way we wanted it.” In the middle of the second half, Hofmann had a chance to score, but it went off the goalpost. Her game-winning goal was her 16th of the season. Freese had high hopes for
on the Broncos next drive, catching a 22-yard pass to give WMU the 28-24 lead with 8:52 to go. With their backs against the wall, CMU responded with a seven-play, 75-yard drive, which was capped by a oneyard touchdown run by Tipton. A successful two-point conversion made it 31-28 CMU. That was the last time CMU led. “We had a lot of chances to win the game,” Enos said. “As you look back on it, you’re going to see some dropped passes in the red zone. Our inability to get stops in the fourth quarter was also a key in the game.” The Chippewas defense gave up 513 yards of offense. “On defense, we are not where we need to be,” Enos said. “They had 500 yards of offense and scored 40 points. We need to start winning some of these games when we’re putting up points. We have too many lapses, and we give up too many explosive plays.” Radcliff finished 26 of 41 for 383 yards and one touchdown. Tipton had 22 carries for 112 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore linebacker Justin Cherocci had 12 tackles for the Chippewas. CMU travels to Ypsilanti Saturday to play Eastern Michigan.

that’s up to the committee. “That destiny is out of our hands,” Stafford said. Slaughter said the team is hopeful to continue its season. “It’s the reason we play a hard schedule. We’re a national team, and we have a national presence,” she said. “Although (the MAC) didn’t go the way we hoped, we hope to prove we can play with the big dogs, and we deserve a bid.”
continued from 1B Slaughter said. “I think that was shown in the physical presence of the game, and that’s a credit to them and to ourselves.” Brandon, Rotheram and sophomore forward Laura Gosse led the team in shots with two apiece. CMU’s season could continue if it is selected for a bid in the NCAA women’s soccer
tournament. The 64 teams to receive bids for the tournament will be announced at 4:30 p.m. today. Thirty teams automatically qualify, while the remaining 34 slots go to teams receiving at-large bids. CMU has been ranked nationally in the 30s all year, so to fall out of the top 64 because of one game would be shocking, Stafford said, but
