Life in brief Metro City considering ‘Party task force’ Couch burnings, dumpster fires and break-ins caused Mayor Sharon Tilmann to say enough is enough and she’s looking for options for how to curb the problem. The parties during Welcome Weekend and other times are getting out of hand, Tilmann said. She added it’s a safety issue for residents and other students. “What’s happening with the civil disobedience that’s happening with parties now is unacceptable,” Tilmann said. “We’re trying to figure out what we can do to nip it in the bud.” Tilmann said the parties are getting worse, and city officials like Vice Mayor Jim Holton feel unsafe in the student section Jeff Browne, Mount Pleasant’s public information officer, said they are looking into different options to fix the safety issues. “We want to allow individuals to have fun,” Browne said. “We also want to provide an environment that’s safe and secure. We’re getting more people from out of town, which is a problem. We need to come up with a way to protect our students and our residents.” A time and place of the meeting has not yet been announced.

Chippewas sit Rawls, drop to 2-1 on season after blowout to Syracuse By Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

On a highly anticipated and brisk autumn afternoon at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, the Central Michigan University football team was force-fed a dose of bitter reality by the best team it has taken on this season.

Without senior running back and graduate transfer student Thomas Rawls, CMU (2-1) was pummeled by Syracuse 40-3. Rawls, CMU’s leading rusher this year, was announced as inactive Saturday morning due to “an issue that came to (the program’s) attention Friday,” according to a statement from

the team. Following the game, Head coach Dan Enos refused to answer any questions regarding Rawls’ absence. CMU entered the game with a great deal of momentum following a 38-17 thrashing of Purdue last week and a 16-point comeback win in the Chippewas home opener the week before.

“You’ve got to move on. You can’t let one team beat you twice,” Enos said. “It’s human nature. Guys walk around campus and people tell them: ‘Wow you guys really kicked Purdue’s butts’. I told them not to take any complacency pills. We went from the penthouse to the outhouse pretty quick.” w LOSS | 2

Enrollment reaches 27,069 students Numbers bolstered by freshmen, international students

By Ben Solis Editor-in-chief

An influx of freshmen and international students has helped Central Michigan University raise total enrollment to 27,069, according to finalized enrollment figures released Friday. The new numbers represent the fourth-highest enrollment figure for the CMU community in the past 10 years. Freshman enrollment is up 26.5 percent, bringing in a class of 3,811 students. That number is up from 3,012 last year. Bolstering the increase is a boost in undergraduate and graduate international students. The 39.3-percent increase equates to 1,064 students. More than 2,500 minority students were also added to CMU’s on-campus frame-

work. Graduate students helped raise enrollment numbers with a 12.4-percent increase. Steven Johnson, vice president of Enrollment and Student Services, said the increase in freshmen is impressive because Michigan’s total high school senior class is expected to decline to 90,000 by 2020, compared to 119,000 in 2008. The freshmen have an average high school GPA of of 3.34 and an average ACT score of 22.7, according to a university press release.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Trustees to hear audit results, discuss CMED Saginaw By Katherine Ranzenberger News Editor

Marking its first meeting of fall 2014, the Central Michigan University Board of Trustees will present the university’s annual fiscal audit at its Sept. 18 meeting. President George Ross will also give a report about the university and his final 2014-15 goals. This includes discussing and ultimately moving to approve new university priorities and initiatives for the next five years, according to the meeting agenda. Plante Moran, a Michigan-based accounting firm, conducted the audit for

the fiscal year that ended June 30. CMU’s overall net position increased by $32.3 million to a yearly total of $673.4 million in 2013. Net position is defined as being the difference in total value of assets and the cost it takes to maintain that value. The calculation is created by looking at increases in CMU’s total assets and non-operating revenues, as well as decreases in total liabilities, account payments and long-term debt. As compared to 2012, the university increased its total net position to $641.1 million. Operating revenues took a $2 million hit as compared to last year’s figure of $321.5 million – total operating

revenues stand at $319.5 million. Operating revenues are comprised of factors such as tuition and fees, federal, state and local grants, as well as “auxiliary enterprises,” according to the audit. Trustees will receive updated 2014 net position figures from Plante Moran at the meeting. Any increases in revenue were brought about by CMU’s non-operating revenues, including state appropriations and increases in investment income. State appropriations grew in 2013 to a total $71.3 million, up from $68.1 million last year. External financial investments rose to $24 million, up from $1.6 million last year.

Although these figures show signs of growth, the audit shows the university’s physical cash-on-hand is down by $9 million from last year. Trustees will also be discussing contracting for construction, furnishing and equipping of the CMU College of Medicine Phase II building in Saginaw at the meeting. Barton Mallow Company of Southfield was hired as contractor for Phase I of the project. Steve Lawrence, vice president of Facilities Management, said the project has a $25.2 million construction budget. Saginaw’s CMED building is scheduled to be complete by May 2015.

Sound bites: Syracuse 40 CMU 3 Loss to Syracuse was a taste of reality “Went from the penthouse to the outhouse pretty quick. It was for CMU football humbling today. They beat us in all Here are some comments from players, team officials, and Head coach Dan Enos following the Chippewas’ first loss of the season, 40-3, against Syracuse on Saturday.

Reality can be difficult to deal with. For most every team in college football, losing is inevitable. After CMU’s impressive 2-0 start, Chippewa fans felt the feeling that we as sports fans crave the most: Hope. It’s that little glimmer of optimism that only concrete wins can bring. But then Saturday morning’s news came down the pipe. Wide receiver Titus Davis was scratched with a bum knee. Leading rusher and emerging ground threat Thomas Rawls was also listed as inactive for no apparent reason. Another capable pass catcher, Andrew Flory was suspended indefinitely earlier in the week. The Chippewas’ offense was suddenly coming apart at the seams. This was a unit that was supposed to boast best receiving corps in the Mid-American Conference. This backfield was supposed to be deeper than Bill Gates’ pockets. What we saw on Saturday was pitiful. CMU’s offense struggled to gain yards and inspire any reaction out of a crowd of more than 25,000 at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. You have to feel bad for quarterback Cooper Rush, his most viable offensive weapon against

LOSS | continued from 1 The loss snapped a fivegame CMU win streak dating back to late in the 2013 season. Senior wide receiver Titus Davis (knee) also sat out of Saturday’s loss. Enos said playing Davis was not an option for him. “I don’t make that call,” Enos said. “Someone tells me if he is

Syracuse was Jesse Kroll. Syracuse was faster, stronger and smarter on Saturday. But it was not the Orange who erased our hope. It was our team’s twisted misfortune and unexplainable decision-making. One player does not make a team. But three or four key competitors, whose numbers and leadership directly affect the outcome of the most crucial games does. The Chippewas have proven they can survive without Titus Davis. Rawls was not suspended or injured as of Sunday, but the loss could put his future into serious trouble. I do not believe the Chippewas’ collective spirit has been irreversibly broken, but Syracuse put a major dent in it Saturday. As the team prepares for its final non-conference game of the season against Kansas, let’s all hope we get our most essential players back as soon as possible. Because this weekend it was glaringly obvious precisely where we would be without them. available to us and he wasn’t. Hopefully we’ll get him back soon.” The Chippewas gained only 34 yards without Rawls in the game. After CMU took an early 3-0 lead, the Orange scored 40 unanswered points to put the game away. The Chippewas defense had no answer for SU quarterback Terrel Hunt, who carved CMU’s defense up for 175 yards passing, 92 yards rushing and four all-purpose touchdowns. “He was a playmaker today,”

“There’s a lot we can learn from this game, in all three phases. We’re going to rebound; we’re going to come back stronger, better, faster.”

three phases, really. We’ve just got to move forward from here.”

"Before coach comes up, we will not be answering any questions about the status of Thomas Rawls. If there are any questions about the status of Thomas Rawls we will just move on to the next question. We will only talk about the game. If we can't talk about anything other than Thomas Rawls, we will stop the press conference."

Rob Wyman Director of Athletic Communications

CMU senior linebacker Justin Cherocci said. “We really didn’t execute well. He was able to do a lot of different things on us.” In what was one of his poorest performances to date, sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush made key errors late in the first half and early in the second. Rush’s first blunder came with 10 minutes until halftime and the game tied at 3. The Orange ran Rush’s fumble back 57-yards for a touchdown. The game started to get

away from the Chippewas when Rush was backed into his own end zone and forced to throw the ball away on CMU’s opening drive of the 3rd quarter. Rush was called for intentional grounding, Syracuse led 19-3 and CMU never narrowed the gap. “I talked to Rush (about the fumble). He’s got to learn to just take the sack sometimes,” Enos said. “He has to be better than that and he knows it. We forced him into some different situations today.”

Dan Enos, head coach

Justin Cherocci, Linebacker

“I guess with Titus being gone, I’m getting more reps. I have to try to step up and make some plays, but we’re definitely looking forward to getting Titus back.”

With the lack of Davis and now twice-suspended receiver Andrew Flory, slot pass catcher Jesse Kroll was thrown to early and often, bringing in five receptions for 86 yards. “I made some big mistakes out there. That’s all I’m thinking about right now,” Kroll said. “Winning like we have been obviously feels great. But I hate this.” For the first time this season, Rush was sacked more than twice in a game. Saturday’s loss was CMU’s worst since the

2013 season opener, when the Chippewas fell to U-M 59-9. Enos insisted that his running backs were ready for the challenge they ultimately failed to complete. It remains unclear what Rawls’ status with the team is. During the press conference following Saturday’s loss, reporters were told that any questions about Rawls would be ignored and multiple questions would end the discussion.

First impressions Annual high school open house sees record attendance By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

More than a thousand prospective students filled the academic buildings, spilled onto the sidewalks and cheered on the football team during this year’s CMU and You Day on Saturday. Beginning at 9 a.m., high school students and their families explored Central Michigan University’s campus, met and spoke with faculty members and professors and found the answers to their questions about admissions and academic programs. Over the last two years, the annual event has grown both in attendance and registration, according to Ray Wilson, assistant director of admissions at CMU. As of Saturday morning, Wilson said pre-registration had reached 1,550 students, not including their family members. “We won’t know final attendance until probably Monday,” Wilson said. This year’s numbers are an improvement from the last event, which Wilson said brought roughly 1,320 pre-registered students to CMU’s campus. He attributes the event’s growth to better and earlier marketing and advertising and improved marketing materials.

“We’ve been a little better at planned marketing,” Wilson said. “One thing that I think has helped us out as well we don’t have proof of, but I’d like to think so. CMU and You Day the last two years has been earlier in the year than it ever has been and we’ve now seen two years in a row that we’ve had a considerable increase in attendance.” Members of Campus Ambassadors were posted all over campus to guide and help visiting families. Scottie Steele, a senior from Litchfield, said he hopes prospective students leave CMU better acquainted with the campus and with a good idea of the academic options the school has to offer. “I think it’s a great opportunity to be able to give back,” Steele said. “I mean, I’ve been in the same situation, lost and not knowing what to do, so being able to provide guidance and understanding is pretty neat.” Each visiting family was provided with a free meal at either Real Food on Campus or Fresh Food Company as well as three tickets to the afternoon football game against Syracuse. There were also bus tours of the campus, residence hall tours and options to submit early assurance applications for admission and scholarships.

Several of the buildings on campus had informational presentations playing periodically along with numerous staff members lining the halls ready to share information about their specific programs. In the Engineering and Technology Building, Juan Peralta, an associate professor in the physics department, demonstrated several material examples of physics for passersby with the help of seniors Amber Hockemeyer and Troy Lyons. “They are very curious about the demos,” Peralta said. “People want to understand what’s going on when they see something.” Hockemeyer and Lyons volunteered to help Peralta at his table when he petitioned one of his classes. “People are looking for future career options in physics and what kind of classes they might take,” Lyons said. Peralta said he hopes to gain more diversity within the physics department in the future. “We hope to increase our number of majors,” he said. “We still have the capacity to receive more students in the department. Elsewhere on campus, parents

and family members formed their own opinions about CMU as a potential option for their children. Patsy and Rich Payment accompanied their daughter, Riley, as she toured the Education and Human Services Building. They said they enjoyed the campus and are looking for the school that will give their daughter the best options. “We want somewhere where she’s safe,” said Rich Payment. “And somewhere where she can get involved in a lot of things so she can get the full experience of being away at a university. Also somewhere that really offers her a good opportunity and program she wants to take, and it sounds like this one’s pretty good.” Riley Payment hopes to go into early childhood development and learned several things about the CMU program at one of the tables scattered throughout the EHS Building. “You get to actually be with little children during your program here,” she said. “The representative said that you can get done within four years and have two smaller minors, so I liked that.”

Mentor program unites CMU with tribal youth By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

When David Kinney launched a pilot program for bringing Native American youth and Native American mentors together last year, he was hopeful for the future. A professor in the Sociology Department at Central Michigan University, Kinney worked for three years developing the mentoring program, called Niijkewehn, which roughly translates to “one I walk with” or “friend.” The mentoring program is a collaboration between CMU and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. It introduces Native American college students enrolled at CMU to children at local tribal schools for the duration of the school year and summer. During last year’s pilot program, 20 mentors were paired with 20 students in two tribal elementary schools and one tribal middle school, Kinney said. “It’s really three-pronged,” he said. “It’s cultural first. In our program, that’s the centerpiece.” In addition to the focus on teaching the youth about their Anishinabe culture, the program engages them in recreational activities to emphasize good health and academic work to help them think about future aspirations. “For the children, their benefits seem to be increased pride in their culture, increased participation in cultural activities and generally it appears as though they’re developing a stronger connection to school,” Kinney said. Alysha Machuta, a freshman at Michigan State University, participated in the pilot program as a mentor while she was dual enrolled at CMU as a senior at Mount Pleasant High School. As a student planning to enter the medical field and a direct descendant of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, she said the combination of working

Aquatic facilities in the Student Activity Center are getting a facelift.

Seat materials will be replaced with a composite product made of recycled plastic and wood, a hardy material made to withstand the scalding temperatures, which lie around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Work on the first sauna has been completed. Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of Facilities Management, said the second is scheduled to be complete soon. The renovations are costing the university $20,000 total. Malachi Barrett, Senior Reporter

transportation

CarShare program expected to come to campus later this fall Students who choose not to bring cars to college may not have to worry about being stranded without a ride thanks to a new campus car rental program through Enterprise CarShare. The program is scheduled to be in place at CMU by the beginning of the spring semester. CMU officials do not have an exact date for when they will receive its CarShare vehicles. Already working in universities around the U.S., CarShare is a way for students to rent a car on university property for several hours at a cheaper than normal rental price. Judy Lannen, senior buyer of Contracting and Purchasing Services, describes the rental process as “pretty simple” and fairly easy to use. “You make the reservation online,” Lannen said. “And then with the card you get, you go to your car, and then you return it to the same spot [when finished].” Two CarShare cars will be located on campus. There will be one car parked by Lot 27 by the Library and one parked by Lot 42 near Kulhavi Hall. After an initial $35 start-up fee, which the student will then make back in accredited fees for future rentals, it will cost $7.50 per hour for a student to rent a car. On the weekends, the price goes up to $8.50. The return system operates a lot on an honor system, Lannen said, but those cars can be monitored by the company. If they are returned late, Car Share will know who has the car and for how much longer than initially applied for. Jordyn Hermani, Staff Reporter

with kids and culture was a great part of the program. Kinney said local support for the program has allowed him to expand it, and he is currently seeking additional funding from either the federal government or a private entity. Currently, costs to run the program are split evenly between CMU and the Tribe. “We’ve had increased interest from local schools and parents and educators, and we’re expanding into two more middle schools,” he said. “Our goal would be 100 CMU Native American students and at least 100 Saginaw Chippewa children.” Nichole McLachlan, a graduate student at CMU, is the Niijkewehn

Mentoring Program coordinator and is in charge of recruiting new mentors and students. She volunteered to coordinate the program when it looked as though it might be lost. “In February I had mentioned that I wanted to take over that part of the program so that it wouldn’t go under,” McLachlan said. McLachlan said she is thankful for the opportunity to work with the program, as it feeds into her bachelor’s degree in social work and her journey as a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in public administration. “I think mentoring is huge and I’m excited to work with Native American students,” she said. “I think it’s going to be a really good asset to the college

students as well as the youth.” Kinney said Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs, and Hunter Genia, director of the Department of Behavioral Health for the Tribe, were an integral part of getting the program off the ground. University President George Ross also has been supportive of Kinney’s efforts. “Both the mentors and their protégés benefit,” Kinney said. “The mentors learn more about their own culture. They learn that they can make a positive difference in a young person’s life. Many of them become more interested in careers and professions in which they can make positive contributions to their own tribe.”

Pinterest Party hosted by Program Board From 7-9:30 p.m. students are invited to bring their Pinterest boards to life during the free event in the Bovee University Center, 221 Terrace A.

Planting CMU’s international flag

entral Michigan University announced its official enrollment for fall 2014 on Friday, and the figures reflect positive growth after years of decline. Our growth is being greeted with

both celebration and caution. One area that must be celebrated is the increase in international and minority students. The number of freshman this year increased nearly 26.5 percent to 3,811 students. In addition, the number of international students rose to 1,064, nearly a 40 percent increase from last year. Total enrollment is now at 27,069 students, representing a one-year increase of 167 students. We are proud and excited to see CMU fight its way back from what some have considered an enrollment crisis. By increasing marketing expenses by over 2,000 percent, targeting more out of state and out of country students, doling out more scholarships and lowering the criteria for those scholarships, CMU’s enrollment has been thankfully stabilized. But officials must not forget this is only half the battle. Now the focus must shift to retaining students, which CMU failed to do in 2010 when it achieved record enrollment and, subsequently, a record loss of returning students the following year.

Officials expressed concern about admitting too many students into this year’s freshman class. Crowded classrooms, packed residence halls, lack of parking and overall resources can have just as detrimental an impact on the university as dipping enrollment. Steven Johnson, vice president of enrollment and student services, told Central Michigan Life last semester that he wanted a maximum of 3,500 to 3,600 students in this semester’s freshman class. “I am not going to admit more than the capacity we have to handle,” he said. Director of Undergraduate Admissions Thomas Speakman told CM Life last semester that the university would stop taking deposits from new freshman after the number topped 3,600 or 3,700 students. “We want to take small steps climbing back,” he said. “We don’t want to go from 2,900 to

Growing through challenges Before I started college, I thought I wanted to be in an environment that challenged me. Early on in high school, I grew tired of consuming spoon-fed information, and I craved more knowledge and experience. I started to “challenge” myself, or so I thought.

I became a copy editor for my school newspaper, started working with different publications online and reached out to companies about ways to get involved. But those experiences didn’t teach me what challenge feels like. Instead, they bred me to be a complete and

4,000 in one swoop.” In one year, the number of new freshman has increased by over 800 students. This is a drastic increase that university officials may have not predicted. As our typical student fishing pools decrease – regional and statewide freshmen and transfer students – building our international and minority numbers are imperative. Globally speaking, accepting more international students helps plant the CMU flag in the soil of countries some of us can only dream of visiting. By giving these students the ultimate CMU experience, both academically and socially, officials can spread the mission statement of the university to lands where many of us can’t even speak the language. With more than 1,000 new international students on campus, and hopes to grow that number in years to come, CMU must work

hard to accommodate these students. That doesn’t just mean in terms of housing and services, it means building specialized areas on campus to meet their unique cultural and spiritual needs. Doing so will not always be popular, but it will be necessary. All indications point toward the university taking a strong stance against naysayers and those in opposition of things like prayer rooms for Muslim students. The university is bound to grow, and not just in size. Embracing a level of diversity beyond what we consider our normal, Midwestern student body will make us stronger and prolong the university’s identity as a premier learning institution. The changing shape and face of our university is a reflection of the changing shape of the world around us, and we commend CMU for wanting to be at the forefront of it all.

If anything, those experiences challenged me to take charge of my passions and explore opportunities that weren’t explicitly offered to me. But no one ever pushed me out of my comfort zone. “I want to be challenged,” I thought.

The Student Activity Center can be a scary place. I know this because the first time I decided to go there for a workout freshman year was almost the last time. Seconds after walking in, I realized I was embarrassingly underdressed for the occasion. It seemed everybody in the building was sporting Under Armor’s finest. Sleeveless bro-tanks and skin-tight yoga pants swarmed menacingly everywhere I turned. And then there was me – painfully average from ragged sneakers to dollar store headband. How could I possibly feel comfortable sweating into such unattractive, offbrand attire? I moved past my initial apprehension and headed toward the free weight area, where I was promptly greeted with Herculean grunts and a wave of testosterone. I ventured carefully through the row of bros, dodging any weights they threw to the ground in an apparent effort to assert dominance. It was the beginning of the semester, and the gym was packed with people looking to show off their summer’s work. I thought working out was all about exercising muscles and bettering the self, but studying the behavior of the SAC rats quickly taught me otherwise. Apparently, the best way to work out is to work out as little as possible. The aimless laps around the gym, during which you stare down the mirror and flex obnoxiously, are crucial for the workout. Also, it’s good etiquette to claim gym equipment by laying your towel down and walking away for extended periods of time. Feel free to answer your phone at any time during the workout, and the louder you talk, the cooler you look. Needless to say, working out is not about being cool. It is about setting personal goals, achieving them and ultimately feeling good about yourself, physically and mentally. It would take me a while to overcome my anxiety of gym culture, but nowadays, I frequent the SAC and make it a point to utilize the resources at my disposal. I might not be able to bench 300 pounds or have six-pack abs, but every workout clears my mind and increases my confidence– even without the top-shelf protein shake or fad juice cleanser to cap it off. exactly what I wanted and have no one question any of it. Now, I realize that when I’m challenged, I become better. I grow. Challenge isn’t about doing what you find comfortable in bigger, better ways. Challenge is about doing what scares you and keeps you up at night thinking. Challenge redefines what we believe ourselves to be and forces us to analyze ourselves. It makes us stronger individuals than ever before.

Student United Way sparks CMU community involvement, giving back By Amanda Brancecum Staff Reporter

Student United Way has found its way to Central Michigan University’s campus this year to help students better understand the community around them and how to give back to it. “We teach students to speak up for causes in an articulate way,” said Andrew Brown, an Okemos senior and Student United Way president. “They learn how to engage with the community and facilitate positive change and lifelong civic engagement to stay connected and feel a part of the community.” Brown was a student representative chair on the United Way board last academic school year.

Tom Olver, United Way of Isabella County president and CEO, said he believes the organization is a great way to get students more involved in the community before they graduate from CMU. “The purpose of the Student United Way is to engage (CMU) students in the community while they’re here,” Olver said. The United Way of Isabella County has 31 different organizations that it umbrellas and conducts tons of fundraising around the county for. Detroit senior Vincent Thurman, Student United Way public relations and #ChatUnited chair, said students need to know the organization does not just take the money for organizational expenses. “United Way is an organization that gives back directly what was given to them so the community can benefit,” Thurman said. The two biggest ways students can help out and become a part of the Student United Way’s efforts are to participate in the High FIVE campaign and the Twitter chats. The Student United Way’s High FIVE campaign

begins Sept. 15 and ends Oct. 13 to raise a goal of $25,000 for the community. Those who donate will have the ability to choose a non-profit to donate to in increments of $5. “The High FIVE campaign is our way to show the state of Michigan how much students care about Isabella County,” Brown said. A Twitter feed #ChatUnited will discuss education, income and health with an emphasis on community needs and issues. The live Twitter chat is a one hour conversation from 6-7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month through @HighFIVE4IC. “We set up the Twitter account specifically for the High FIVE campaign to help individuals to advocate and inform people what we’re doing,” Brown said. “It’s created to dive deeper into those topics to help solve issues or problems in the community.” The first Twitter chat was conducted on Aug. 26

and discussed education. It also focused on how to help children achieve their potential in education, driven by a set of seven actionorientated questions. The next discussions will be on income and health and how to connect students to valuable resources. Thurman believes these discussions will help more than just Isabella County with more and more followers. “Increasing our followers will increase awareness of the campaigns that the United Way provides, and it allows United Way to give back on a larger scale than to just one community or just one organization,” Thurman said.

CMU’s Baja Team builds dreams By Kelsey Smith Staff Reporter

From designing, fabricating, and building automobiles to homework and classes, Central Michigan University’s Baja Team has a lot on their agenda, including the groups’ plans for this year’s upcoming races. The team focuses on designing and creating a single seat off-road vehicle right from scratch. After designing the vehicle, the team takes their finished product to a variety of races across the country. Some of the races that the team travels to focus on acceleration, rock climbing, maneuverability and hill climbing. The team tests and drives the car numerous times before competition dates. Engineering classes at CMU offer students insight and knowledge when it comes to off-road vehicles, providing the students with many tools they can use while building and designing for the Baja Team. “Through all of our classes here at Central we learn how different parts of a vehicle work, and we get to put them into play with our car,” Derek Donovan, Baja Team Secretary and Farmington Hills junior, said. “We go to class, then come here and see how everything works.” Aside from building and designing a new vehicle, the team also builds a business. Each year, the team comes up with a sales presentation that is pitched to large motor vehicle companies like Honda, Polaris and Yamaha. Being a member of the Baja

team has many benefits. Not only do the students get excessive hands-on training, they get to build onto their resume. “Everyone who has been on this team has gotten job offers from different companies,” Donovan said. “It’s great for careers and it’s a huge resume builder.” Lake City senior, Walter Robertson, is especially glad to be a part of this year’s Baja Team. “As an engineer, we spend a lot of time in the classroom, we spend a lot of time doing homework, and we don’t necessarily get to put our hands on things,” Robertson said. Hands-on activities are what help the students learn the full concept of designing and building a vehicle. “This is a perfect opportunity to get your hands dirty, apply what you’ve learned, and apply what interests you. It’s one of those things where it looks good on paper, and it’s a good way to spend your free time,” Robertson said. “There is a lot of camaraderie. For the people who want to put the time and energy into it, it’s a lot of fun.” Building friendships and communicating with one another plays a big role in the Baja Team. Being able to work on activities outside of class helps build a strong bond among the members. “I like to be working on stuff,” Donovan said. “That’s my favorite thing. I’m always tinkering with stuff, whether it be my truck, my motorcycle, I like to work on stuff and build stuff, get dirty, and hang out with people at the same time.

I’ve met a lot of my friends through here. It’s an easy way to meet people.” Race season goes on throughout the year, and the team is constantly learning and innovating their vehicle. Races help the team learn more about different vehicles and what they can improve on in the future. “Even when it fails, you learn from your mistakes,” said Michael Gollin, Vice President and Livonia junior. “You see what you can do differently, you can expand different design techniques and innovations. It’s a huge team aspect, you learn how to work with people by communicating ideas back and forth.” Travel is huge for the Baja Team. This year, they will be traveling to Oregon, Alabama, Maryland, Kentucky, as well as to Michigan Technological University. Teams compete nationally as well as internationally with teams coming from India, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Mexico and Venezuela. “We do lots of traveling, you get really comfortable with the guys you bring with,” said Justin Wade, President and White Lake senior. The Baja Team has opened many doors for Wade. At the end of the year, he is happy seeing the team’s hard work pay off. “Everything on that car is something that you built, designed, created, and dreamt up,” he said “At the end of the year when you actually get to see it out on the race track doing laps, that’s probably the coolest feeling.”

Smoke-free Saturday Tailgaters happy with campus-wide tobacco ban; Student smokers say new policy ‘just sucks’ By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Emily Brouwer | Staff Photographer St. Clair Shores junior Faye DeCouto, center, laughs while fellow students chant at the tailgate Saturday before the CMU vs. Syracuse football game in the freshman parking lot.

In the midst of all the tailgating commotion during Central Michigan Saturday’s football game against Syracuse, Macomb Community College student Sara Balash smoked a cigarette in defiance. Standing off to the side, she waited until her cigarette was finished before joining the fun. Balash didn’t want to risk getting in trouble. However, she still felt the urge to smoke. “It just sucks,” Balash said. “We’re outside and everyone else is having fun, so why can’t (smokers?)” As of on July 1, CMU’s tobacco-free campus policy went into effect. The ban prohibits tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes from use while the smoker is on campus. Some students and some faculty members have expressed displeasure with the new policy, while others believe it is quite literally a breath of fresh air. When it comes to alumni visiting town for football games, some are unimpressed with the change in policy believing that individuals will smoke regardless. Jim Frendt, a 1989 alumnus, remembers smokers being an integral part of campus. The smoke, he said, never really bothered him. “I don’t see a problem with (smoking),” Frendt said. “In the buildings, no – but in common areas I don’t see why not. It’s not like it’s going to stop anyone.” His sister, Janice Frendt, a 1993 CMU grad, sees the policy as a nice step forward. “I’m surprised it took them this long to ban it,” she said. Though they may not agree with the smoking ban, students and alumni respect and adhere to it. Lt. Larry Klaus of Central Michigan University Police

visit cm-life.com for a video on what students have to say about cmu’s smoking ban

Department said that the biggest perpetrators of violating the non-smoking ban aren’t students, but visitors. “If we see [people smoking] we request people put out their smoking material and abide by policy,” Klaus said. In the event of an individual smoking, CMUPD will tell the offender they are breaking school policy. If the perpetrator refuses to observe the ban on smoking, then the police reserve the right to take action. “It’s not against the law, but it is against university policy,” he said. “As a police department, we haven’t had a real issue with the smoking ban, though.” During Saturday’s game, an announcement came over the PA system reminding patrons that smoking was not allowed in the stadium. A corresponding advertisement for the “Breath of Fresh Air” program played on the video screen. Certain exceptions will be made for procedures that involve tobacco. Religious ceremonies, theatre productions and research procedures that involve tobacco are the only allowed with prior approval from administration. If an individual has a question whether or not they are able to use tobacco on campus, they are encouraged to visit the frequently asked questions section of the Tobacco-Free Policy section on the Central homepage, or call Human Resources at 989-774-2010.

Annual Chippy awards feature top Central Michigan athletes, coaches By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

On a night honoring the athletes and coaches at Central Michigan University, the most powerful moment of Sunday’s Chippy’s — CMU’s version of the ESPY’s award show — came from the athletes of Special Olympics Michigan (SOMI). The fifth annual Chippy’s filled Plachta Auditorium with athletes, coaches, family members and community members. All proceeds from the $5 entry fee were donated to SOMI. “It’s just a terrific opportunity each year to celebrate what is right about our program,” said Athletic Director Dave Heeke. “Certainly great accomplishments on the field, but memorable things that

happened off the field that are just as important.” The one athlete that earned a standing ovation didn’t earn it because of his play on the field. Senior tight end Deon Butler was awarded the “Spirit of Special Olympics Michigan Award,” for his relationship with the athletes. Butler walked on stage, shook the hands of all 18 SOMI athletes on stage — including a big hug from one — told them “I miss y’all” and wiped away the tears before giving the acceptance speech. “In my first year (volunteering with SOMI), I didn’t know what to expect,” Butler said. “It’s life-changing. Y’all see them as athletes. I see them as family. It’s a power moment. They changed my life to be a better person, to

be a better man and I just want to say thank you guys.” Following a standing ovation, the group of athletes decided to give him a giant group hug on stage. “That was a really powerful moment,” Heeke said. “One that tugs at my heart, there’s no question about that. Deon’s a special person and is really an illustration of the kind of student-athletes we have here and the powerful moments that can occur. “It’s the power of experiences that go way beyond the wins and losses. That is what intercollegiate athletics is for, is to be more than just what we count on the scoreboard. What we count in life is what it’s really all about.” Hosts Joe Houlihan and Halle Enderle emceed the show, which started out with an “Anchorman”-style news team opening video. The duo chipped in with jabs at kicker Ron Coluzzi for his “SportsCenter Not Top 10” tackle, joking that he still thinks he’s in Purdue. The night included countless famous Chippewa sports moments from 2013-14 and a few popular non-CMU sports memories, including Allen Iverson’s practice talk, Mike Gundy’s “I’m a man, I’m 40” speech and Terrell Owens’ tearful press conference. Among the more prestigious award was “Best

Play,” awarded to senior women’s basketball player Crystal Bradford’s for her buzzer-beating three pointer that shocked Dayton in McGuirk Arena. “I want to thank my teammates,” Bradford said. “I didn’t pass myself the ball.” Bradford, also known as CB23, took selfies on stage with the crowd in the background after accepting the award. “It was nice to go through the memory book and see some of the terrific moments,” Heeke said. “Crystal’s shot at the end, the way that one came together was al-

most incredible. I walk away going, ‘hey, what’s next.’” Former left-handed pitcher Pat Kaminska was awarded “Comeback Athlete of the Year,” but couldn’t attend the event because he was in Arizona at prospect camp. With a Texas Rangers hat and a Chippewa t-shirt, Kaminska sent a video accepting the award. “I work hard everyday,” Kaminska said. “I feel like I owe it to this university.” Senior wide receiver Titus Davis was awarded “Best Male Athlete,” and accepted the award while holding his

newborn baby, now just a week old. Davis thanked God, his teammates and ended thanking his wife for sticking by him and giving him a son. Gymnastics Head Coach Jerry Reighard was awarded “Coach of the Year,” to go along with his Mid-AmericanConference Championship team earning “Best Team” honors. “We’re here because of you,” Reighard said to all athletes in attendance. “Chippy’s is a great event. This year may be the best I’ve attended.”

Volleyball claims first victory of season at Evansville By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Ending a six-game losing skid, the Central Michigan University’s volleyball team might have changed the course of its season after finishing the Evansville Tournament 2-1. In its match against tournament host Evansville, the Chippewas (2-7) captured the first match victory of the 2014 campaign. Even after the first victory, CMU coach Erik Olson said he knew there was still work to be done before the weekend was through. “I didn’t celebrate for probably longer than a minute,”

Olson said. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, but it felt great for the team. For me it was yes, good, but I was on the next task.” Olson said celebration comes after a tournament is completed. “There’s not a whole lot of time to celebrate in these tournaments. I’m certainly proud they finally ground that out,” he said. The women took down the Purple Aces in four sets (25-18, 25-19, 21-25, 25-21). The

Chippewas were led by senior Kaitlyn McIntyre, who tallied 14 kills and 11 digs in the first match The key in the tournament for the Chippewas was side out play. In both victories, the women averaged 67 and 60 percent on side outs respectively. “We have to be able to be our opponent in that category,” Olson said. “We would have little peaks in the 60s in the previous two weekends, but we weren’t getting there on a consistent basis.”

ASSISTS VS. DEPAUL

The women battled IUPUI during Saturday’s morning match but were defeated in four sets (25-18, 25-19, 20-25, 25-23). Freshman Jordan Bueter had 14 kills and 9 digs in the loss. “We certainly had opportunities to beat IUPUI,” Olson said. “We had a very slow start, and I think our energy was low in that match.” The women bounced back against DePaul later Saturday evening, downing the Blue Demons in four sets (25-21, 25-21, 20-25, 25-17). Bueter finished with 17 kills and McIntyre added 14 of her own. The women were out blocked 9-3, but edged DePaul in kills by 10. “I’m very

impressed with us bouncing back in that final match,” Olson said. “I think the team knows we let an opportunity go (in Saturday’s first match), but they didn’t let their confidence dip.” The Chippewas communication on the court improved over the weekend. “Our pass quality was much better this weekend,” Olson said. “That translates to giving our setters many more options to the right set attack.” Freshman setter, Kylie Copple was the catalyst to a strong Chippewas passing game. Copple finished the match against IUPUI with 36 assists. She had 45 against DePaul. “(Copple) was the one that turned the match around

against IUPUI,” Olson said. “She did a good job and got her first win as a college setter against DePaul.” The expectations on the season never changed even through the team’s struggles in the first two weekends. “I expected us to get through the season,” he said. “Even through losses we got better and now it’s starting to show in the win column. To me it’s just all a part of the process.” “It’s just a step,” Olson said. “They were decent teams this weekend, but this week is all about preparing for next week, but it’s a step forward.”

Soccer team drops both games of weekend series in Colorado By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

Dropping both games this weekend, the Central Michigan University soccer team headed home Sunday with a record of 1-5-1. The Chippewas suffered an overtime loss to Air Force 3-2 Friday before losing to Colorado College 3-1 Sunday. “I think of this weekend as a buffet,” Head coach Peter

McGahey said. “You stand at some parts it looks good. At others it doesn’t looks so good. We’re scoring goals at a better clip than we were a year ago. We’re also conceding in a way that is not acceptable.” Chippewas senior Captain Laura Gosse tallied her third and fourth goals of the season this weekend despite the pair of CMU losses. Gosse has two thirds of all of the team’s goals in 2014.

Air Force 3, CMU 2: Senior Emily Cooksey was sent off with a red card in the 80th minute against Air Force. Kaylin Hoomaian scored the game-tying goal in the 84th minute. The Chippewas survived playing a man down for more than a half hour of game clock before eventually falling in overtime. The Chippewas were heavily outshot (24 to 7) against

26-5 during their loss to Colorado College Sunday. McGahey started sophomore goalkeeper Heather Laeufer in place of Maddy Bunnell. Lauefer stopped 12 shots during the loss. “We wanted to make sure that we got Heather some exposure going into the MAC season,” McGahey said. “We want to make sure we have a full goalkeeping crew that is ready.” CMU has yet to win an away

the Falcons. Air Force did not concede a corner kick to CMU during the match. McGahey did not deny the role the increased altitude played in the final decision of Friday’s game. “It was undoubtedly a factor,” he said. “How much you never know but it definitely had an impact on them.” Colorado College 3, CMU 1: The women were outshot

game in 2014. With five losses and a tie away from Mount Pleasant they look forward to their next three games, which will all be home. The Chippewas host their last non-conference opponent (IPFW) at 4 p.m. Friday at the CMU Soccer Complex. The Chippewas will then host their first two Mid-American Conference opponents the following weekend.
