Running back granted permission to leave state for upcoming football schedule

By Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

After a two-week suspension, running back Thomas Rawls has been cleared to rejoin the Central Michigan University football team.

Suspended from the team Sept.8, Rawls pleaded guilty Tuesday in Isabella County Trial Court to one count of attempted larceny in a building, a high court misdemeanor. The charge is punishable by up to two years in prison, or a $1,000 fine.

CMU Athletic Director Dave Heeke confirmed hours later that Rawls had been reinstated to the team.

“His opportunity to play will be evaluated by our coaches,” Heeke said.

“He had fulfilled disciplinary measures that we feel are appropriate at this time. We decided to move forward.”

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley brought the warrant for Rawls’ arrest to the department’s attention.

“We had been hearing some rumors,” Heeke said. “It was confirmed by campus police that there was a potential issue.”

Head football coach Dan Enos was not available for comment.

Rawls agreed to testify against codefendants in the case. His sentencing is set for 3 p.m. Oct. 21. He will serve no jail time.

As part of his plea agreement, Rawls also asked Isabella County Trial Court Judge Mark Duthie for permission to travel with the CMU football team to Toledo this weekend.

At Tuesday morning’s hearing, Duthie asked Rawls’ attorney Tom Hausmann if the running back would be reinstated to the football team.

Emily Brouwer | Staff Photographer Thomas Tyrell Rawls, 21, of Flint sits during his plea hearing at the Isabella County Trial Court on Tuesday morning. Rawls pleaded guilty to one count of larceny in a building.

“It is my understanding he will be reinstated,” Hausmann said.

Duthie allowed the travel exemption for “football team activities.”

Assistant prosecutor Bob Holmes detailed the events of the night Rawls conspired with an accomplice to steal a 62-year-old Holly woman’s purse.

Rawls testified Tuesday that he did not touch any contents of the purse that night, but moved the purse to the floor so his friend could steal it.

Rawls, now 21, was 20 years old at the time of the crime. Duthie said he would contemplate the possibility of placing Rawls in the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act program should he cooperate with court directives. State

law allows a judge to place a youth between 17 and 20 who is alleged to have committed a crime and who has pleaded guilty to that crime to avoid a criminal record. If the youth successfully completes the program, there is no criminal record.

Rawls and a friend are accused of using credit cards stolen from the purse to purchase food and gasoline totaling in $33.77.

The Flint-native was charged with three felonies stemming from the April 8 incident at the Soaring Eagle Casino.

A warrant was issued for Rawls’ arrest on May 16. He officially joined the CMU football team on July 2. Heeke said the department was unaware of

the warrant issued for Rawls’ arrest before Sept. 5.

On the morning of CMU’s most recent home game against Syracuse, the university announced Rawls would not play against the Orange due to “an issue that came to the department’s attention” the day before.

After the game, team officials refused to answer any questions regarding Rawls. The next day, Rawls surrendered to Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Police.

Heeke said Rawls’ scholarship to play football at CMU is unaffected by the case.

Enos and Rawls will be available to reporters after practice Wednesday.

Zellner brings ‘A-Team’ of entrepreneurial talent to CMU

By Malachi Barrett Senior Reporter

Deb Zellner has brought together an “A-Team” of industry professionals to make the Isabella Bank Institute of Entrepreneurship one of the leading programs in Michigan business.

“Deb has been part of leading Michigan investor groups for five or six years,” said Charles Crespy, dean of the College of Business. “By virtue of that alliance, she brought in a group of nine or ten people that participate in (the New Venture Competition) who have experience in hands-on business start up experience.”

A blue water angel investor and boasting 30 years of experience as a high-powered chemist with Dow Corning, Zellner worked in leading a healthcare development lab that

created permeable membrane patents.

Chances are students use one of her products every day, which as applications ranging from breathable bandaids to tooth whitening strips.

Through business contacts made over the course of her sizable career, Zellner attracted the attention of valuable partners to add external resources that compliment the experience of faculty members.

Crespy said some of the finest entrepreneurs in the state of Michigan are in the department.

“What we’ve been asking is how can we help students at CMU catch the excitement of starting a business,” Zellner said. “They can be highly successful and even if their business doesn’t go as they planned they can start another one.” w Zellner | 2A

Obama wins praise for wooing Arab nations to embrace anti-Islamist State campaign the nonstop bloodshed since the rebellion against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime began in 2011.

The United States was so preoccupied with the jihadist outgrowth of the civil war that Sunni states feared Obama would strike a truce with Assad or work more closely with their archenemy, Iran. Instead, the administration went in the other direction, wooing back the Sunnis in a diplomatic charge that resulted in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State positions. Qatar didn’t bomb but flew patrols, officials said.

Bloomberg Terminals put student hands on progessional tools

By Malachi Barrett Senior Reporter

Completed this summer, the Bloomberg Terminal room in Grawn Hall allows business students to monitor and analyze real-time market data and make trades as if they were on Wall Street.

“Instead of spending time calculating ratios, I encourage students to go to a terminal, download (the ratios) and tell me what they mean,” said finance and law professor Pawan Jain. “The most important concept is to interpret them. That was missing.

Bloomberg made it easy.”

The idea behind installing the terminals is to connect classroom theory with practice on the trading floor.

Every student in his FIN 448 class has certification with the machines– an objective and standardized measure of their competency that is essential for getting hired.

The accreditation makes CMU students more attractive to employers, Pawan said.

In his courses, around 200 students have access to the terminals. Most were certified.

Charles Crespy, dean of the College of Business, said

Zellner | continued from 1A Zellner intends to continue bringing together a network of people who are doing similar work with start ups in Michigan.

She eventually left the lab setting at Dow after earning her master’s degree in Management at Central Michigan University, where she translated her technology background to study market needs for new products.

After Zellner’s retirement, she moved to the MidMichigan Innovation Center, a business incubator that gives entrepreneurs the resources and network to help turn their ideas into profitable commercial enterprises.

After hearing of strength of CMU’s business college from finance and law professor and long-time friend Jane Watkins,

alumni in the industry have spoken to him about how they benefitted professionally from using the terminals.

Jon Voigtman, managing director with Royal Bank of Canada in New York City and a CMU alumnus, recently visited Mount Pleasant for CMU and You Day. Voigtman said the starting salary for new hires is $85,000 and students could be making over $100,000 in their first year.

Because of this, Crespy said the goal of his college is to get all finance students Bloomberg certified.

“It’s not easy to master the use of those terminals but the return is enormous because it allows you to participate in the financial sector in a way few do,” Crespy said. “You need to learn how to use the terminals to be hired.”

He added that the biggest challenge is making students feel less intimidated by the sophistication of the machines; he has had many students ask if they have permission to use the terminals outside of class.

The college is working on how to integrate the new technology into the curriculum, Crespy said. In this

regard, CMU has a big of a head start compared to other universities.

CMU is one of just four Michigan universities that has 12 terminals and one of eight in the state to have any at all.

CMU is one of 280 schools in the nation that has Bloomberg Terminals and strives to make them accessible. At $209,800, the newly completed terminal room in Grawn Hall 117 was funded mostly by private donations.

It was one of projects aligned with CMU’s 20132018 Strategic Plan.

Crespy said these initiatives will “help students get a leg up over a Bronco” in their future endeavors.

Terminals also reside in the Park Library, Ronan Lab and two are available on laptops for classroom use.

Zellner accepted a position as director of the entrepreneurship department.

This includes people like Bruce Marble, alumnus and former Dow Corning employee.

Zellner got him out of the board room and out into hands-on work with students in the New Venture Competition.

“Working with students is very energizing,” Zellner said.

“They put time and energy into this and while they don’t get class credit, they get life credit and that’s what they carry with them forever.”

Marble has been a judge in the past, but she asked him to get involved as a resource to work with student-led business teams. He works with other members of New Venture Competition in-house staff one-on-one with student groups developing their business ideas.

“What we’ve done with NVC I think is very special in the state of Michigan,” Crespy

said. “Maybe only U of M is at the same level of expertise and support that we have down here.”

This includes staff like NVC mentor Ragnar Avery, who Zellner said has valuable experience as as an engineer.

One of her major goals has been to make sure these contributors are have a diverse range of talents.

Avery is a prime example of this. He has a lengthy profile with business incubators, marketing, supply chain and his own consulting firm.

As a sales professional with a broad level of situational expertise, students can get advise from every level of the business process.

“For me what helped was being able to modify my functions,” Zellner said. “I’m always looking for how to bring more to what we’re delivering, so in that sense I’m looking for opportunities that will bring us to a better spot.”

UNITED NATIONS – For an undertaking so fraught with sectarian tensions and regional rivalries, the U.S.-led air campaign against Islamist extremists in Syria was a diplomatic feat for its inclusion of five Sunni Muslim states that traditionally are skittish about bombing in the neighborhood, foreign policy analysts said Tuesday.

Obama met with representatives of the five Arab partners on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, praising them for the “opportunity to now send a very clear message that the world is united” in the fight to eradicate the Islamic State, which is also called ISIS or ISIL. “This is not going to be something that is quick and is not something that is going to be easy,” Obama told reporters. “It will take time and it is not only a military effort.”

interacted with, and thought about, others.

“It just completely made sense to me when I first started hearing about it,” Gimesky said.

“Commonly in society, we hear ‘autistic kid,’ for example, acknowledging a disability first.

With person-first language, the way you speak is completely flipped.”

Person-first language is a concept originated in 1990 after several pieces of legislation were altered to acknowledge people before acknowledging their disabilities. This mindset is the basic concept for person-first language.

“It first became recognized nationwide when the Education for All Handicapped Children Act was renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act,” said JoDell Heroux, professor in the Department of Counseling and Special Education. “Terms like ‘disabled person’ or ‘handicapped person’ serve to marginalize individuals with disabilities.”

While it may come as a challenge at first, advocates for person-first language say that it is about manners and respect, not being politically correct. The main idea is that the person is not the disability, and when people are described by their disabilities, they are devalued and disrespected as people.

“Person-first language encourages us to see people as having no differences between them,” said Saline senior Karleen Koskinen.

“There are differently-abled people, but at the end of the day, we are all people.”

Students who advocate for person-first language are often very passionate about this

“It’s very easy to label an individual by something that’s different about them.

That’s only one characteristic about them, when they are an entire person with abilities, feelings and dreams.”

Grace Gimesky, Dundee senior concept. It is usually something they learn about in class, or after someone hears them using language that does not put the person first.

“Students learn about it during their first two Special Education courses,” Heroux said.

“They really embrace it and become outspoken about it; they will correct you. It’s great because we are educating students who are then educating the broader community.”

Though it is largely applied to people with disabilities, advocates say person-first language can be applied to other social categories.

“I think person-first language is something we should all strive to learn,” Gimesky said. “I think it can be applied to other categories of people like race, gender and sexual orientation because we are all human beings.”

Although it has been recognized nationwide, Heroux said that the use of person-first language isn’t all that common. She said al-

though there are still other battles in equality to be fought, acknowledging people before their disabilities is one of the last.

“We have made a great deal of progress with disability awareness, however, there is more work to be done,” she said. “Person-first language has implications outside of education. It is important to the broader community because you will encounter people with disabilities all the time.”

Gimesky encourages other people to learn about person-first language because it acknowledges a human being in entirety instead of only one factor about them.

“It’s very easy to label an individual by something that’s different about them,” she said. “That’s only one characteristic about them, when they are an entire person with abilities, feelings and dreams. It fails to recognize that they are incredible human beings because you are only acknowledging them by their differences.”

SGA committee to increase involvement for students with disabilites

Often compared to the Make a Wish Foundation, the Rainbow Connection is dedicated to raising money and granting wishes for children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. But this RSO has one important difference: They exclusiverly help children in Michigan.

“Even if it’s just one kid, we feel like we’ve made a difference,” said Grand Ledge senior Kelly Gwardzinski.

Gwardzinski, founder and president of the RSO, said she is passionate about helping kids. She also wants to help people with disabilities and kids with life-threatening illnesses.

“Seeing this side of it, instead of always the physical side—it’s kind of what drives me to do it,” she said.

The Rainbow Connection hosts several fundraisers over the course of the school year, including the sale of hair-bows for $5 during the football season. Students can buy them every Wednesday in the Bovee University Center before a home game or order them through Facebook.

Thanks to fundraisers like this one, the Rainbow Connection raises enough money each year to co-sponsor a wish with its parent organization in Rochester. However, students in this organization want to do even more.

“We would love to be able to

completely sponsor somebody,” said Muskegon junior Emily Vanderlaan.

Lindsay Dymond, a senior from Livonia, said it takes $5,000 to sponsor a child’s wish.

“We are just kind of a new organization and its ambitious to raise that much money, so we’re trying to at least co-sponsor,” she said.

Last year the Rainbow Connection co-sponsored a child named

William, who went to a resort in Florida called Give the Kids the World. They will not know the name of the child they are sponsoring this year until all of the proceeds from this school-year’s fundraisers go to the original Rainbow Connection in Rochester, their co-sponsor.

Aside from fundraising, the Rainbow Connection also educates

students about childhood illnesses and writes birthday cards every month for seriously ill children.

“It’s a really cool way to kind of feel closer to them,” said Dymond.

Students interested in joining the Rainbow Connection can contact their Facebook page, or stop by the next meeting at 8 p.m. Sept. 26 in the Lake Michigan Room of the Bovee University Center.

The Student Services Committee discussed implementing peer to peer groups for students with disabilities at the Student Government Association’s Monday meeting.

Peer to peer groups are designed to create interaction among students with disabilities and students without disabilities. The groups have been discussed in the previous year and the Student Services Committee has been debating bringing the program back.

Paige McCarroll, a special education major and Macomb senior said she is not sure if or when the peer to peer groups will be adapted, but that it is a common topic within the committee.

Student Disability Services has a new director and the student services committee is new this year. McCarroll hopes that if the peer to peer groups go through, they will start in November.

EDITORIAL | CMU’s $95 mil. investment in STEM plants seeds for the future

Parking in Peace

Betting on STEM N

Luke Roguska Design Editor

early 15 years ago, the College of Science and Technology’s founding dean voiced the need for Central Michigan University to continue its commitment to research in science, technology,

engineering and math (STEM).

Last week, the university officially broke ground on the new 169,000 square-foot Biosciences Building and marked the next chapter of the journey.

By the time the building officially opens its door, which officials say will be January 2017, classrooms will be filled with cutting edge technology that will help put students ahead of the innovation curve.

The building will include a vivarium, a molecular biology core, an isotope laboratory, a herbarium and electron microscopes, according to CMU’s website. It will also house an imaging center for scanning and transmission as well as a staging and processing storage area for ecological fieldwork.

We believe the project exemplifies CMU’s commitment to STEM learning, and it is a necessary decision for our future.

But at a time when our nation is

struggling to produce competitive aptitude scores in mathematics and science, and job prospects are uncertain, our mission to promote STEM will undoubtedly face challenges.

The United States ranks 52 in quality of mathematics and science education worldwide and continues to decline in overall global competitiveness, according to the World Economic Forum.

Some educators have attributed the decline to a nation that has become increasingly apathetic while resting on its merits and achievements of the past.

Some news reports claim the demand for workers in STEM fields will increase in response to President Obama’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal. The proposal includes $170 million in new funding for the next generation of innovators, according to the U.S. Department of Education. The move would curb the dramatic decline in federal

research grant funding.

The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported that 74 percent of those with a STEM-related bachelor’s degree do not work in STEM fields.

At CMU, there has been a 23 percent increase in STEM majors and 38 percent increase in undergraduate STEM degrees.

The university has also invested in the Dow Science Center, with projects like the Active Learning Classrooms, but the future of STEM at CMU will be in the Biosciences Building.

Channeling our resources and energy into building a reputable medical program, attracting more international students and expanding STEM research on campus are all efforts to put CMU on the same stage as bigger universities.

University President George Ross said in the 2013 State of the University address, “This facility (the Biosciences Building) – CMU’s

largest capital construction project ever – will propel our faculty and students far into the 21st century, with teaching, learning and research that has far-reaching impact across our state and indeed, our globe.”

We hope the increased focus on STEM learning will attract more students and leading researchers to CMU in the future and help Ross’s plan come to fruition.

CMU’s decision to invest in the STEM program is aligned with our nation’s drive to once again become the leader of STEM fields. The success of STEM at CMU relies on the government fulfilling its obligations of funding research, expanding the job market and ultimately putting our nation back at the forefront of innovation.

CMU’s commitment to STEM could place our university at the forefront of that movement.

sentiment to human rights, but when that right interferes with another’s right to liberty and bodily autonomy, a right to life cannot be established. Pro-life philosophies argue to “love them both,” meaning the woman and the fetus. But when the interests of the fetus and the woman collide, there is no way to grant both life to the fetus and liberty to the mother.

Annually, 47,000 women die from unsafe abortion practices worldwide. This is a crisis. Most

of these women have an established family, and many are completing their procedure for this reason: they want to be better mothers.

Last week, Students for Life brought to campus the Planned Parenthood Project to “expose” the supposed atrocities of Planned Parenthood and its “abortion agenda.”

But they neglect to realize that abortion doesn’t exist because Planned Parenthood exists. Planned Parenthood exists because abortion exists, and women will have abortions no matter the law.

It’s time to stop being ashamed of the word “abortion.” It’s time to celebrate the right to terminate pregnancies, and it is time to be unapologetic about it.

Each individual who has an abortion has a story to tell. Some share stories of regret, and others share stories about how their abortion let them continue their life in the direction of their dreams.

The government has no right to tell human beings what they can and cannot do with their bodies. The pro-life campaign likes to tell you that Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are murderers. In reality, abortion providers are heroes, there to help women make difficult choices in their lives and carry out those choices when decided upon.

Abortion is unapologetically a human right, and no display can ever steal it from us.

I would be more than happy to purchase a parking pass if I thought there was a remote chance of finding parking in Moore Hall’s Lot C. While I do not necessarily have issues parking on the rest of campus, I’m sure other students do.

Parking woes are nothing new at Central Michigan University. We all know how difficult it can be to find that coveted piece of pavement between those painted lines.

Parking Services has added more spaces to campus in recent years.

However, for me, Lot C still remains a struggle.

Especially at the beginning of the semester, there are seldom any parking spaces available. Since I have yet to purchase a parking pass, I resort to parking in metered spaces. Surprisingly, I have avoided collecting any parking tickets this fall, but I cannot tell you how many tickets I accumulated last year.

But why should I spend $175 for a parking pass that won’t even get me close to my classroom?

Parking Services has said that while there might not always be open spaces where students need to be, there is always room in the Student Activity Center parking lots.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not lazy. But that is a huge inconvenience.

Between work and a full course load, I’m often in a rush and simply don’t have time to journey from the SAC to Moore. Even if I leave early, by the time I scour the parking lot for a space, I often find myself late to class or work.

Is there hope for a future where there is parking for all, and in convenient locations?

The Campus Master Plan proposes moving parking to the edges of campus in an effort to make it more pedestrian friendly. I give the proposal two thumbs up.

There is plenty of room to expand parking and allow students to park much closer than the SAC. I think all students deserve to be able to park at least somewhat close to their destinations on campus. Until more parking is added to Moore’s Lot C, I cannot justify purchasing a parking pass.

I’ll save my money and remain feeding the meter. But I hope one day soon, students at CMU can park in peace.

CMU College Dems Showcase touches on importance of youth voters

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Joan Brausch remembers a time when her two children could pay for their college education on nothing more than a part-time job at Burger King and small student loans.

That was 20 years ago.

Today, she’s running for the 98th District seat in the Michigan House of Representatives, hoping she can discuss education reform during the campaign.

“If we want to have a successful state, if we want to have a successful job market the state has to put up,” Brausch said. “Put up, or shut up.”

Like the 11 other candidates who made an appearance Monday at the Bovee University Center Rotunda, Brausch’s ultimate goal was to get the word out about who she is and to reach out to voting age college students.

Hosted by the Central Michigan University College Democrats, the candidate showcase gave students a chance to meet with Democratic candidates for 2014 and register to vote.

Candidates in attendance included Fred Sprague,

Jeff Holmes, Garrett Arwa and Jon Hoadley. Much like Brausch, candidates who spoke on the podium Monday night talked about education reform and taking back the State House.

Arwa touched on the importance of mobilizing younger voters and getting them more active in the voting sphere.

“You saw what happened in Scotland, (their election) had like an 80 percent turn out,” Arwa said. “If 80 percent of students voted, if 80 percent of people under 35 voted, do you think (government officials) would listen?”

He also discussed the importance of teaching young voters that their voices through an election could affect issues like women’s rights, economic reforms and education reforms.

Sprague also spoke about education reform, and how it relates to the average CMU student. As a CMU alumn, Sprague said he feels that students bound by loans and debt run the risk of becoming “surfs to a capitalistic system.”

“State support for our public university has plummeted,” Sprague said. “When I went to Central, the state support was in the 70 per-

CMU leads in SAP certification

By Malachi Barrett Senior Reporter

Nearly 850 of the Fortune 1,000 companies utilize System Applications and Projects software.

Because of Central Michigan University’s proficiency with several certifications, the Ford Motor Company recently listed the university as one of 20 premier recruiting institutions.

The SAP certification offered by CMU’s College

of Business Administration enables students to see how a modern enterprise system functions.

“The purpose of what we’re doing is to get an upper hand to a Central Michigan University student,” said Frank Andera, director of the SAP University Alliance Program. “They’re going to have knowledge of special technology that companies want them to have.”

Companies like 3M, Dow Corning, Harley-Davidson,

Hewlett Packard and IBM recruit at CMU because of the SAP certification.

CMU’s SAP University Alliance Program has offered certification to its undergraduate and graduate students since 2000. The SAP certification test, TERP10 is incredibly strict; only 50 percent of students pass worldwide.

Certification is considerably better at CMU. While the goal of the TERP10 is to be intentionally discouraging in order to maintain its exclusiv-

on the important points of women’s rights issues, cuts to education spending and the importance of the Democratic vote.

“There is enormous need for (womens’) voices to be in the process (of voting)– ” Whitmer said. “And for my female friends who are even

toying with the idea of running, I encourage you to run.

It’s hard, but it’s so important.”

In order to be able to vote in the November election, individuals must be registered by Oct. 6. Students are eligible to register to vote at CMU.

To be eligible to vote, people must be a U.S. citizen, a Michigan resident, at least 18 years of age and not incarcerated on election day for a felony or a misdemeanor.

Registration papers can be found at http://cmuvote. cmich.edu/.

ity in the industry, Andera said he wants to get as many students prepared as possible to earn their certification.

The key distinction is that the resources exist to get students the opportunity to succeed if they put in the work, not to spoon feed them.

“For traditional four year institutions like CMU we’re going to be increasingly held accountable for how we add value and how we measure how we add value,” said Charles Crespy, dean of the College of Business Administration. “That was what Gov. Snyder is interested in. Those are things he is measuring. I

think we are doing a good job of adding value in those areas.

As a faculty we are proud of what we do. These are decisions we as a faculty have made not myself as a Dean.”

Dow came to the university in 1997 to encourage CMU to partner and help train faculty how to use SAP software.

Andera said it was one of the better moves the university ever made, despite how tough it was to adapt the software to the curriculum.

“It was difficult to encourage people the mission we were on was commendable,” I look over my shoulder after these years and see yes it cer-

tainly was. Its more popular now than ever before.”

This popularity gives students the leg up they need.

Tyler Reinelt, Bridgman senior and president of the SAP Student User Group is a testament to that. He said after signing his information systems major his resume was barren.

Just making it clear he was taking steps to pass the TERP10 helped walk into an Information Technology job.

“Whatever major student are companies have to have software that tie all parts together and that’s what SAP does,” Andera said.

Heat stroke research aims to bring CMU to national light

Cori Kromrei | Staff Photographer Hannah Homrich reads a passage from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at Tuesday afternoon’s Banned Books Week reading event at the gazebo.

Students ‘read-out’ against censorship for Banned Books Week

By Alex Carriere Staff Reporter

Hannah Homrich couldn’t imagine a world without Harry Potter.

The Dundee freshman kicked off Tuesday’s Read Out event, part of Banned Books Week, by reading a chapter from her favorite story, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.”

“I love Harry Potter and can’t imagine a world without it,” she said. “Taking notice of these books will really make you more knowledgeable about the world.”

Thinking of the many times people have tried to ban the “Harry Potter” series since first being published in 1997, Homrich said she was thankful to have the opportunity to share author J.K. Rowling’s contested words with her peers.

Both students and faculty met at the botanical gardens gazebo under clear skies to read from books that were either banned or contested over the years.

But this wasn’t just a chance to read controversial pieces. Organizer Betsy Richard said it was a celebration of all the great works of literature that exist in the world.

“Sooner or later you’ll read a book that others don’t approve of,” she said. “But that isn’t a bad thing; it creates an opportunity for discussion. It is a broader look at our First Amendment rights.”

Katelyn Polhemus, a junior from Macomb, said she felt so connected to the cause that after hearing about the event, she immediately contacted Richard to participate.

Cori Kromrei | Staff Photographer Some popular banned books sit outside by the gazebo where students read passages from banned books on Tuesday outside the Charles V. Park Library.

Polhemus helped set up and shared a passage from The Giver.

“I’m an English major so I’m very passionate about books,” she said. “I first read (The Giver) in fifth grade and found it very powerful.”

One of the more popular titles was “The Bluest Eye”

by Toni Morrison, Detroit sophomore Cabrina Felton shared a passage, as did senior Adam Baker.

In fact, Baker hadn’t planned on joining the read out at all, but it caught his attention when he was just passing by. He felt compelled

to read what he called “the horrible, devastating ending” to Morrison’s 1970 novel.

“I first read it in high school and felt a very powerful connection to it,” he said.

English professor Tracy Collins shared Atticus Finch’s powerful closing statement from “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and theater teacher Elaine Daugherty read the first chapters of “The Scarlet Letter.”

“Just because a book is banned doesn’t mean it’s a bad book,” Polhemus said.

“Read it and decide for yourself.”

International student and pianist Miguel Sosua dedicates recital to CMU

By Zahra Ahmad Assistant News Editor

Most international students go through a difficult transition period after moving to Mount Pleasant from their homes, but for Miguel Sousa that transition was made easier by faculty and new friends.

The Portuguese graduate student and pianist is dedicating a piano recital to Central Michigan University, its faculty and his new friends at 5 p.m. on Saturday in Chamichian Hall in the Music Building.

“I’m so appreciative of being here at CMU with all of the instructors and friends,” Sousa said. “The first day moving here was okay, but the weeks after it got hard and I really felt the difference in just everyday interactions. The biggest difference is expression.”

For international students, understanding a new culture can be difficult.

Steven Egler, organ professor in the Music Department, said the most significant barrier is understanding the language.

“Students understanding the subtleties of the language, that’s pretty universal,” Egler said.

“However, Miguel had a very good command of the English language. He has dealt with a lot of getting comfortable with the language and he, along with other foreign exchange students, are better for it because

many of us wouldn’t do that.”

The adjustment for foreign exchange students is apparent with time. Adrienne Wiley, piano professor in the music department, said Sousa’s social change has been visible.

“He can speak (English) better and is starting to understand some of our slang,” Wiley said.

“Miguel is also understanding the difference in music here when compared to Portugal.

There are much more performing opportunities in great facilities..”

Portugal’s economic atmosphere has limited many musicians ability to expand their careers, Sousa said. That was the reason he traveled to CMU. “I’ve always had a dream of becoming a musician,” Sousa said. “But the economic situation in Portugal was not allowing me to expand my career.”

Sousa said he was working a job that didn’t fulfill him.

“I wanted to change. I had co-worker come in and talk to me about studying abroad,” he said. “After that I said ‘Okay I am going to America’.”

While here, Sousa has taken advantage of performing in the community of Mount Pleasant.

Egler said even though there has been criticism about Sousa taking on so many performances, it’s a skill other students should pick up.

“Quite frankly, I look at it at that as being a good entrepre-

neur of your skills,” Egler said.

“Many of us who have been performing for so many years know that is what you have to do. Our students should be doing it themselves as well.”

While performing around the community, Sousa keeps his musical career going by keeping a positive attitude. Wiley said it’s more than just being a hard worker that makes him stand out.

“He is also very passionate about playing the piano,” Wiley said. “It’s his career. He loves to accompany other students, four string students and vocalists.

I think he is setting his sights on becoming a collaborative pianist, playing for singers and stuff like that. ” Sousa plans to continue working in the United States after he finishes his studies. He said his passion for music, along with continuously making connections with people, is due to a dream he will never let go of.

“What makes me fight everyday for the dream is, since starting my practice in music, people have always told me I couldn’t do it,” Sousa said. “I never had the support of doing this and that is what makes me work hard towards it. I want to use the music I make to change the world, I know it sounds cheesy, but music is for everyone. I want to use to reach all of them and show them it relates to all different types of people.”

Nearly 100 high school and college athletes have died due to heat stroke, mostly within the first two to four days of football practice, according to a sports medicine report written by William O. Roberts.

Although the condition is easily preventable, the damage can be catastrophic.

Dr. Kevin Miller, a professor in rehab and medical science at Central Michigan University, has been conducting experiments to test whether removing football equipment is necessary to save time and cool the patient’s core body temperature down.

Dr. Blaine Long worked with Miller in understanding and developing the research.

“For the university this is some ground breaking evidence,” Long said. “This isn’t just a nationwide concern, it’s international.

The results we get from this has a huge impact on the health care of athletes and how they are treated.

This for CMU is a going to be a impact because of recognition, and it’s going to impact increased research productivity.”

Millers goal with this experiment was to find the best and safest way to treat a football player with heat stroke. Long also said these types of studies are important to the university not only for recognition but its impact nationally.

The idea came to Miller after discussing heat exhaustion and heat stroke with a friend. He wanted to know if taking the football equipment off would help with cooling the athlete down.

“My question wasn’t so much how long it took, but whether it was even needed,” he said. “There wasn’t anyone asking this, so I wanted to look into it.

My research involves heat illness and muscle cramping.”

Heat illness and heat stroke can be differentiated by the fact that having a heat stroke can be fatal and can lead to death if not treated in time.

“People need to understand the physiological difference between the two,” Long said. “When an athletes body endures a heat stroke it is a full body shut down and the worst that can come out of it is someone can die from what we’ve seen across the country.”

To conduct this research Miller had volunteers put on football equipment and run while in a heat chamber at a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Miller would then have them run and walk until their body temperature was at 103.1

Symptoms

w Core body temperature is greater than 104 degrees Fahrenheit w Central nervous system is dysfunctional w The patient is irritable, unconscious and displays symptoms similar to that of a concussion w Best way to determine core body temperature is through rectal temperature

Treatment w Treat heat stroke by placing patient in ice water tubs. Rectal temperature can be reduced from above 108 degrees Fahrenheit to below 102 degrees Fahrenheit in 20 to 30 minutes. w Football gear does not delay cooling of body temperature in ice baths. w There is a 100 percent survival rate if the patient is treated within 30 minutes. w If you see someone suffering from heat stroke, treat them immediately by cooling them off, then call EMS for transport. w It takes four minutes for a healthy person that is conscious, nondelusional and hydrated to remove all of their football gear.

degrees Fahrenheit.

“I would have them stop at 103.1 degrees Fahrenheit and then put them into a 50 degree fahrenheit cold water bath to see how fast their temperature would go down,” Miller. “We found that the removal of football equipment does not change how fast the athletes body cooled down.

People with heat stroke are often unconscious, vomiting and exhibit nausea.

Removing equipment is thing on their mind, and they can get irritable.”

According to Roberts, symptoms of heat stroke are blurred vision, dizziness and weakness, unconsciousness, dry skin and vomiting.

“Vomiting is not normal during exercise, especially in the heat.” Roberts said.

“Vomiting occurs because the gastrointestinal tract is no longer working properly and the ingested fluids are not absorbed. Sweat losses are not replaced so the athlete becomes dehydrated and has a higher risk for heat stroke.”

According to Roberts, it is not the degree of tissue temperature elevation that is important in survival of a heat stroke, but rather the length of time that the body temperature is elevated at a critical level, which is in the range of 106 degrees Fahrenheit.

“In mathematical terms, reducing the area under the heating-cooling curve above the 106 degree line in minutes is critical to the outcome of heat stroke no matter what the initial or peak core temperature,” Roberts said.

Results from Miller’s experiments concluded a healthy, non delusional, conscious athlete takes four minutes to remove the football equipment.

It takes more than four if they are delusional and unconscious. The presence of football equipment does not delay the cooling of the athletes body temperature.

“We want to cool the athlete down within thirty minutes, this ensures a survival rate of 100 percent,” Miller said. “It’s best to cool the athlete down immediately by placing them in a cold bath, and then seeking EMS, we are trying to save time.”

To prevent heat stroke, Miller said to pay attention to the environment exercise is being done in, going on long runs in hot humid conditions is not advised.

The humidity plays a large part in whether or not heat stroke will occur because the skin is not able to absorb sweat, it just drips off and is ineffective in cooling body temperature.

“If we take a look at when heat stroke occurs most it is when athletes exercise passed their physical ability, they tend to ignore their brain’s signals of telling them to stop,” Miller said. “We need to listen to our brains when they tell us we’ve had enough. Also staying hydrated and making sure you are hydrated can prevent heat stroke from occurring.”

The best thing to do when someone is experiencing a heat stroke is to cool them down immediately. Miller said cooling down the patient in an ice tub is the first thing to do and then transport should be followed up.

Survival rate for heat stroke is 100 percent if treated immediately. If the body isn’t cooled down until a transport is made to the hospital, a patient may have to stay in the hospital for two weeks and suffer from organ dysfunction.

Midwest Fest returns to Hunter’s Ale House

By Megan Pacer Senior Reporter

Seeing the burgeoning culture of independent music festivals growing by the year, Corey Densmore was inspired to curate his own collection of local musicians and talent.

Midwest Fest is just around the corner and gives music lovers yet another chance to enjoy music from local artists.

“I was seeing a lot of other small music fests like Mittenfest,” Densmore said. “I said ‘I could probably put something like that on in Mount Pleasant,’ and I guess the rest is history.”

After some trial and error, Densmore established an annual event that has grown in popularity. This year’s event will span three days starting Thursday, Sept. 25 with 16

bands set to take the stage.

“A lot of people think I’m crazy for doing it every year,” he said. “I do it because I like the bands. I like Michigan music, and I think Michigan and the Midwest have a lot to offer.”

It is that unique Michigan sound that Densmore thinks keeps people coming back for more. Some genres of music, especially folk, have very deep roots in the state.

Folk music festivals, such as the Wheatland Music Festival in Wheatland Township and the Hiawatha Music Festival in the Upper Peninsula, offer fans a cultural experience along the music.

Joe Hertler, songwriter for the alternative band Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers, began his career in folk music

and agrees it is deeply rooted in Michigan culture.

“There’s a strong human connection in a lot of folk music,” he said. “It’s something that people connect with.

Some of the festivals are going on 34 years now.”

Hertler said his band often gets lumped in with the folk category because of its folk and R&B roots, so he and the other band members often get asked to play at folk music festivals.

While many people attend for the music, he said, most turn out to partake in the folk culture that exists in Michigan.

Densmore, too, spoke of the culture that underlies the unique music in the state.

Though some genres, like folk, have been around for decades, he said the culture that supports them is so strong

the music will always draw supporters.

“I don’t think it ever really went away,” he said. “Folk has been around for so long that it’s kind of ingrained in us. It’s a lot of the same bands, but people keep going because they want to be a part of that community.”

Student disabilities services accommodates students

Brianne Twiddy | Staff Reporter Young Americans of Liberty hosts the second annual Freedom of Speech Wall where students and faculty can write and share anything.

Celebrating free speech

By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter

Jessica Predium a Bellevile freshmen, worries that she and her peers often lose sight of one of their most essential American rights: free speech.

“I think sometimes people forget their freedom because it’s easy to be swept up with the crowd and keep your opinion to yourself or resist the opportunity to say what’s on their mind,” Predium said.

“Sometimes you just need to say something and here was a perfect opportunity.”

A large blank canvas stretching across the Bovee Center lawn, Monday, served as an avenue for the freshman and other passing students to express, and be reminded of their First Amendment rights.

The Young Americans of Liberty erected their second annual Freedom of Speech Wall as one of their many activism projects of the year.

Anyone passing the display was allowed to write on it, free of judgement.

Americans of Liberty member and junior Victoria Dennis of New Baltimore, said the wall was filled throughout the day with comments varying from personal stories to funny

Being unable to hear your professors is not something many students think about.

But for students who are deaf, the issue is more than a thought.

Student Disabilities Services and Residence Life offer accommodations for these students so they can have the most typical college experience possible.

Brenda Mather, assistant director of SDS highlighted the accommodations offered to students who are deaf, including sign language interpreters, caption systems and microphones that pick up hearing aids.

“We also have things like priority seating so they can sit in front (at events) if they read lips,” Mather said.

Roughly 660 students currently utilize Student Disabili-

th

ties Services, with 30 of these students being deaf or hard of hearing. The group works with individuals whose disabilities range from moderate aid to severe.

The program itself is meant to allow students who are disabled their own agency. Once the student has made contact and has received aid for their disability, they are free to make contact with SDS as much or as little as needed.

For students to register for disability help, arrangements must typically be made by August 1st. However, for students who find themselves in situations of transferring late in the school year or suddenly finding themselves disabled, added accommodations can be made.

“They can register any time,” Mather said. “They would just come in the office and do it on paper or online.

It’s just a one page paper, just

general information and that starts the process for us.”

While SDS assists students who are deaf with academics, Joan Schmidt, Director of Residence Life, has also helped students live more comfortably in their residence halls.

“We have done things such as install doorbells that are connected to strobe lights so they know when someone comes to the door,” Schmidt said. “We’ve also had accommodations where the phone would have a light on it so that they would know that it was ringing. And we’ve put strobe lights in the hallways so they know if a fire alarm goes off, they need to get out.”

Student Disabilities Services’ on-campus location can be found in Park Library, office 102. Their doors are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Confronting brutality Panelists discuss race relations and police interaction in wake of Ferguson

Speak up speak out w Elections 7-9 p.m Tues. Oct. 21 at Park Library auditorium

Morgan Taylor | Staff Photographer Detroit junior Derek Thornton talks about his experience growing up in Detroit at the Speak Up Speak Out panel meeting Tuesday in the Bovee University Center Rotunda Room.

By Arielle Hines Staff Reporter

After the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley said it caused him to revisit the sensitivities within our own community.

“At universities, we have a lot of people who are not from Mount Pleasant, and that gives them a lot of life experiences that we don’t have,” Yeagley said. “We as police officers don’t think about it that way all the time.”

Nearly 140 students, faculty and community members came to the Bovee University Center Rotunda on Tuesday to discuss the difficult subjects of race and the role of the police.

Soup and Substance, a luncheon program that showcases research on

diversity and on traditionally underrepresented groups by members of the Central Michigan University community, partnered with Speak Up, Speak Out to hold “Ferguson to Mount Pleasant.”

Tuesday’s lunch was a discussion on how the shooting of Michael Brown relates to the community and culture on campus.

Justin Smith, faculty in the sociology department, hosted the event.

Panelists included students Jacquelyn Taylor, Tre Mason and Derek Thornton.

Mount Pleasant Police Officer Jeff Browne and Central Michigan Police Chief William Yeagley along with Professor Liz Bradshaw and Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of University Recreation, were also on the panel.

To illustrate their frustrations with race relations in the wake of

Ferguson, the student panelists gave some of their personal stories of their encounters with the police.

Taylor, a Detroit sophomore, shared her father was once pulled over and during the stop went to check his blood pressure because he was a diabetic. The officer thought her father had a gun. He then tried to explain what he was doing, yet, the officer shoved him against his car and then put him in the police car.

“It really shocked me that things like that are still going on,” Taylor said. “I tell my black friends who are males to be careful on how they react to situations in public.”

Mason, a Saginaw junior, said she has seen many cases where minorities were being stereotyped by police officers. She did acknowledge, though, that police officers have a difficult job.

w International hot spots 7-9 p.m. Wednesday Nov. 19 at Park Library

“I have seen the small stuff add up to big stuff, but I can see it from the law enforcement perspective,” Mason said. “Law enforcement is here to do their job, and I think a lot times we have to take that into account,” For many at the event with Bradshaw included, the Michael Brown incident is not an isolated incident, and that race relations are still a major area of improvement for America.

“While we may not have the same race relation problems here in Mount Pleasant, across Michigan in a lot of the big cities, we do have a lot of racial segregation,” Bradshaw said. “When a student leaves those environments and come up here, it might change how the view and react to police officers.”

Shingles, who has openly taken a strong stance against police brutality and segregation, described an incident in 2004 where he was chaperoning a fraternity dance, and the police were called because a fight broke out.

Dreamer Coffee Shop now open near campus Kelsey Smith Senior Reporter

Groggy mornings and lazy afternoons have a new nemesis as the Dreamer Coffee Shop opened its doors on Tuesday.

The new coffee shop is located at 1027 S. Franklin St. and general manager Rebecca Liu is more excited than ever.

“Within a couple of minutes of signing the final papers this morning, we had our first customers,” she said.

“Everyone has said that it looked so different but very cool. I was so happy to hear about that.”

The coffee house offers students a new experience compared to other popular coffee chains. Serving high quality coffee from all over the globe, Liu hopes to see students experience a different taste in coffee.

“We don’t carry many syrups here on purpose so our customers can really taste the flavor of the coffee,” she said. “I hope people can feel the difference.”

The Dreamer Coffee Shop serves MadCap coffee, a Grand Rapids based brand that many students have become addicted to. Worker and Dearborn senior, Marie Wolski, said that this shop brings a new atmosphere to students at CMU. “I feel like this place is something that we need in Mount Pleasant,” she said. “It’s open and very relaxing. I feel like it’s something that we don’t experience here.”

The Dreamer Coffee Shop hopes to give students a relaxed experience for studying and meeting up with friends.

Worker and Morley sophomore Eliza McGowan-Stinski talked about how the bright environment is perfect for students to study and work on homework.

“It’s very open in here,” she said. “It’s such a great place to do homework. You

“I grew up in the inner-city of Chicago, and I have seen a lot of terrible things in my life, but I never thought I would see a police officer towards a student activities center cocking a shotgun,” Shingles said.

“This happened right here, so we too are Ferguson, Mo.” To counter potential problems of police aggression in Mount Pleasant, Browne said his department is discussing getting cameras and microphones to protect both police and citizens.

However, Tamika Williams, grad student from Detroit, said that she thinks that although the event was good and much needed, she thought it should have focused more on the events that occurred in Ferguson.

“They are two different places, and I felt that some people got sensitive about their jobs and perspectives,” Williams said. “Police have a hard job, but you have a different perspective seeing it from the outside, and it’s something they should keep in account.

Customers have been flowing into the coffee shop frequently and have already grown attached to the new and inviting atmosphere. CMU graduate Tommy Zylka has already made The Dreamer Coffee Shop one of his favorites.

“I really like MadCap coffee, the fact that they serve MadCap is a big plus for me, also this place has the most comfortable coffee shop chairs that I have sat in in awhile,” he said.

The Dreamer Coffee Shop is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 12 p.m. to 9 p.m Sunday.

Taryn Wattles | Assistant Photo Editor Lauren Bindschafel, 16, of Mount Pleasant, makes a latte Tuesday evening at The Dreamer Coffee Shop during their first day of business.

Best-selling author and army combat veteran Wes Moore will be speaking at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1 in Plachta Auditorium.

Moore’s first book, “The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates” became both a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best seller. The book focuses on Moore’s hometown and his discovery of another boy with the same name. The “other Wes Moore” is now serving a life sentence.

Anne Hornak, associate professor of education leadership, said that while speaking about his encounter, Moore will also be talking about the power of education and both the privileges and burdens of receiving an education.

Hornak, who helped bring Moore to campus, hopes the turnout of students is significant since the presentation is really for them and the message will be different for each person who listens.

“I think his message will really have faculty members wondering how to push the students,” Hornak said. “It’ll make teachers realize there’s so much the faculty can do in the classroom to make sure students aren’t lumped into a social category.

I think about the student leaders too and what they can take in from the presentation.”

The event is free and no tickets are needed for admission.

Health Services offers help for students far from home

By Kelsey Smith Staff Reporter

Cori Kromrei | Staff Photographer Autumn Scott, a 4-year employee at the Humane Animal Treatment Society says that the majority of adoptable animals are cats, and originate as strays brought in by students.

Students urged by HAT Society not to house stray cats on campus

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

Residence halls on campus have a strict no pet rule.

However, that doesn’t stop stray animals from trying to wiggle their way inside with students.

Rachel Kitchens, a Merrill Hall Desk Manager, said that cats, dogs, turtles, snakes – anything that doesn’t live permanently submerged in water – are not allowed in the residence halls.

“You can have as many fish and as big of a tank as you like, but only fish,” Kitchens said. “If an RA finds (the animal) they give (the student) a certain amount of time to get it out of the dorm.”

Within 24 hours, a student must either find a way to give the animal to a friend who lives off campus or remove the animal, Kitchens said. If a stray animal is found, students are not encouraged to try and house them, due to possible infectious diseases.

She added the best option is to bring the animal to the proper care facilities located throughout Isabella County.

Kellee Terry, a veterinarian assistant at the Isabella Cat Clinic, said that the clinic unfortunately doesn’t house stray cats, but does advise students to bring in animals if found.

However, she does warn of the dangers of trying to help strays.

“I would leave them be unless you could get them into a cat carrier,” Terry said.

If a student can safely capture the stray, then they may bring them in for potential spaying and

Enduring an illness while away from home can be tough. Luckily, Central Health Services can help ease the pain of carrying a chronic illness for students who are struggling.

Health Services can help make diagnoses for students, make future appointments, provide medication, and conduct lab work. Health Educator Lori Wangberg, M.A. is also on sight to help counsel students, get them in contact with support groups and other resources, and education them based on their diagnosis.

“In our building at Health Services we have the counseling center that will handle cases of depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses,” Wangberg said. “We also have psychiatry medicine available too.”

Students seeking help can access University Health Services for support and knowledge on their disease.

It’s important for students on campus to feel welcomed and positive when it comes to their diagnosis.

“It’s very important for students on campus to know that they are not alone,” said Tam Crabtree, Clinical Operations Manager at University Health Services.

“Diabetics, for example, will require a lot of support. They will get the tools needed to communicate with roommates for support and professors in case they need to leave suddenly or get something to eat.”

Health Services also collaborates with a student’s family doctor at home. They gladly accept lab slips from family doctors so they can work together to provide the best support for students.

If a student just has a question, they can easily call the main line for University Health Services and choose the option to speak with a nurse. The nursing services line for questions and concerns or anything illness or injury related is 989-7746591.

From there, the nurse can help the student with answering their questions and setting up a future appointment if needed.

“We have a wonderful nursing staff at Health Services,” Crabtree said. “They really help with the comfortable level for students.”

There are two walk-in clinics located on campus, one at Foust Hall and the other at the Towers.

Students do not have to live in the Towers to access that clinic. Clinics are open 2:304:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Be Smart.

neutering services. The Isabella Cat Clinic also has the ability to check the animal for a microchip to see if the cat belongs and return it to its owner.

If the animal is confirmed to be a stray, then Terry recommends calling the Humane Animal Treatment Society, or HATS. HATS, located on South Isabella Road, specializes adoption services and hands-on care for animals.

Open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, the facility

houses strays, hosts adoption events and allows individuals to foster animals.

If a student is interested in potentially caring from an animal from the Humane Animal Treatment Society, they are urged to contact the facility at 989-775-0830.

If students have stray animals that they need to drop off at the shelter, they are also urged to call ahead of time so that HATS may make the necessary accommodations to prepare for the animal.

Residence Halls work to transition students into life on campus

By Kelsey Smith Senior Reporter

Island Park, Mt. Pleasant

September 27, 2014 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm

Justin Loughrey has lived on campus, away from home, for four years.

The Thorpe Hall resident assistant and Howell senior believes life on campus to be a cornerstone of student success and happiness at Central Michigan University.

“I have been in the res halls since my freshman year and I am a firm believer that they can be one of the best parts here at CMU,” he said. “I think it is the role of the RA/MA staff to create a sense of community and get the residence to bond and feel like they are a part of something.”

The success of residence halls and the programs they put on, Loughrey said, relies on the RAs, MAs, and residence life staff behind it all.

“It starts with the RA’s, their energy is what residents follow behind,” Loughrey said. “But, it requires the effort of everyone to not only make the Hall a better place but CMU as well.”

While CMU’s residence halls offer students their own sense of community they also provide a variety of resources to help them cope with living alone.

“Each area on campus has a Student Success Center that hosts a counselor in residence, success coach and an academic advisor,”

said Director of Residence Life Joan Schmidt. “The Towers hosts the writing and math centers. The Towers and East campus also have a community police officer.”

Transition programs are provided for students based on what they are facing during the school year. The program is called ‘PASSAGES,’ which stands for Personal, Academic Initiatives, Self-Awareness, Seasonal, Acceptance, Growth, Emotional and Send-Off. Students can learn life skills as well as enjoy their time during it.

“I believe our residence hall students learn how to live on their own, live with people they do not know and learn how to function in a community,” Schmidt said.

Each residence hall has student lounges as well as labs or computer access for students to study and focus in a quiet area. Schmidt stressed the importance of living in a residence hall during a student’s college years.

“It is an opportunity most will never have again and I encourage each student to take advantage of all we have to offer, leadership and employment opportunities, programs, great dining options and the chance to make lifelong friends.”

Schmidt said that research has been done at CMU highlighting the benefits by living on campus as a

college student.

Whether it be educational, social based, or promoting awareness on specific issues, there is always something for students to seek out in the residence halls.

“CMU Institutional Research studies have shown that students who live on campus are more likely to make better grades, will be more involved in campus and community activities, are more likely to graduate in four years and will form closer friendships with a wider variety of people,” Schmidt said. “Our resident satisfaction survey results continue to show that our residents are satisfied with their diverse community and living environment.”

Living in a residence hall can prepare students for the future in many ways, Halverson said. The halls give students their very first step of independence in college life.

“Residence halls, while they may appear to limit fun and be all about the rules, are actually about something more,” he said.

“It’s about finding your footing in a community that is separate from your family, it’s about taking the first steps into becoming an independent adult.

“It’s about finding a potential within you to give back to a community that gave you a place to call a home-away-from-home.”

KEY FOOTBALL MATCHUPS T

he Chippewas enter Mid-American Conference play at 2-2 with MAC West Division title hopes. CMU went 6-6 in 2013 with a 5-3 record in the MAC, including winning its final three games to gain bowl eligibility and finish fourth in the MAC West standings.

Toledo began their MAC schedule Saturday with a win over Ball State.

2014 record: 2-2 (1-0 MAC) 2013 record: 7-6 (4-4 MAC) Series record: 22-5-2 2013 matchup: CMU won 26-23 In the earliest homecoming in CMU history, the Chippewas face an unpredictable Bobcats team. Cooper Rush led a last minute drive to propel CMU to a 26-23 victory in Athens in 2013. The Chippewas have lost their past four homecoming games.

Their 36.3 points per game allowed in 2014, in the bottom 10 of the FBS, shows potential holes in their defense. CMU’s only loss in this brief series that started in 1999 came in a 36-6 decision in 2004.

Linebacker earns MAC Defensive Player of the Week honors Joe Judd Assistant Sports Editor

Central Michigan linebacker Justin Cherocci has been named Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

The senior from Rochester Hills had a quality performance in last Saturday’s 24-10 loss to Kansas.

Against the Jayhawks, Cherocci compiled 18 tackles, 12 of which were of the solo variety and both were career-highs.

He also had a sack during the defeat.

“Coming into this game I knew we had to pick it up,” Cherocci said. “We watched a lot of film but I give a lot of credit to the defensive line-they opened the flow up and opened things up for me a bit.”

It is the second time this season a Chippewa has received such an honor.

Along with his being humble, the Rochester Hills native takes a certain amount of pride in his position. Playing defense, let alone linebacker, for a Football Bowl Subdivision school, is no easy challenge.

“The way I think of my position is the quarter back of the defense,” Cherocci said. “You’ve got to do a little bit of everything out there. You’ve got to be be a little crazy too.”

Head coach Dan Enos appreciates the linebacker’s efforts, even though the effort resulted in a loss.

“He led the league in tackles last year so he’s pretty involved every week,” Enos said. “It was just one of those games where (Kansas) ran a lot and ran between the tackles. He’s a very instinctive player and his MAC honor is well deserved.”

Cherocci has averaged 12 tackles per game this season, which is good enough for him to be tied at 10th in the nation in the category.

His 330 career tackles has put him within striking distance of the record books in Mount Pleasant.

Cherocci needs five more tackles to move into the top-10 in program history.

“He’s a tough guy, he loves to play and he’s really been a spark for us,” Enos said.

Volleyball to continue season turn around against EMU

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s volleyball team is on the hunt for a Mid-American Conference championship.

The women started the season 0-6, but have won five of its last six games and are currently on a four game winning streak heading into MAC play.

“We had deficiencies with our play, and we certainly worked on those pretty early, and that allowed us to train at a higher level,” CMU coach Erik Olson said. “Our start to the season allowed us to give us an idea of where we’re at. Overall I didn’t think our competitive temperature was high enough, and that came from every player on the court for us.

“It’s not how I liked to train always, but it was what this team needed to do. The team has certainly turned the corner for sure.”

Conference play starts Thursday for the Chippewas as they host in-state rival Eastern

Michigan University.

The Eagles come into the match with a solid 8-5 record but have lost three of its final four games of non-conference action.

EMU is led by junior outside hitter Stacey Perinar who leads the team with 164 kills and is second in digs with 143. Senior setter Jill Briner enters the match averaging 35 assists per match and senior Natalie Folk is the team leader in aces with 15.

CMU and Eastern have split their last four matches between the two teams with each team winning at home and on the road.

“We do a lot of bouncing back and forth with Eastern,” Olson said. “Eastern certainly has it’s own style, and they always have.

It’s one of those things where it’s different jerseys, but the same style. I think we’re playing pretty well, and they are playing pretty well, so I think it will be a good match.”

CMU’s junior defensive specialist Kristen Reenders said she is looking forward to the

start of conference play.

“This week we start out with a new record,” Reenders said.

“We are starting out 0-0 and it’s a new season really. We are going in strong this year, but I think the competition is going to be a lot higher, but we just have to keep turning it up.”

Reenders said the team has to maintain its focus on Eastern Michigan and not look ahead to other opponents in the MAC. “We have to come out strong and keep it steady the whole way through, and take it one match at a time,” she said.

“We have some good things going and we just have to keep working hard. It doesn’t matter who’s on the other side of the net, it just depends on what we are doing as a team. “ Olson said the key to the match would depend on how the team works together.

“We will need a team effort,” he said. “We are very focused on one opponent right now, so we just have to go out and play our match.”

Central Michigan University’s volleyball team senior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre is starting to hit her stride at all the right moments.

McIntyre was named Mid-American Conference West Division offensive player of the week for the second time of her career after her performance in the Cincinnati Invitational last weekend.

The two-time All-MAC selection finished the event with 43 kills, 32 digs and six serving aces and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

McIntyre’s recent performance has been a large contributor to the Chippewas latest success. CMU coach Erik Olson knew that

“Once Kaitlyn realized that she could fix her play with just her quick feet, she started to play really good. That empowered her to step it up and take her game to an even higher level.”

Erik Olsen, CMU volleyball coach it was just a matter of time before McIntyre started to improve her play.

“She (McIntyre) was playing below average for her standards the first two weekends of the season,” Olson said. “Once we got the connection between McIntyre and the setters going, she really started tearing it up.”

CMU is currently riding a four game winning streak and has won five of its last

six matches. McIntyre leads the team in kills with 145 and is second in digs with 125 this season.

“Once Kaitlyn realized that she could fix her play with just her quick feet, she started to play really good,” Olson said. “That empowered her to step it up and take her game to an even higher level.”

CMU hosts Eastern Michigan Thursday in the MAC match of the season.

Softball begins its fall season at home Joe Judd Assistant Sports Editor

Six months after the conclusion of the 2014 season, Central Michigan University’s softball team started its fall season on Sept. 23.

On Tuesday the Chippewas took on the Timberwolves of Northwood University at Margo Jonker Stadium to kick off the fall season.

CMU is scheduled to travel to Traverse City and play in a tournament on Sept. 27. The University of Michigan, Oakland University and Western Michigan University are also featured in the upcoming tournament.

The Chippewas took on all of these teams last season, posting a 3-2 record in the process.

They swept OU in a doubleheader, split the final series of the season against WMU and

lost to a successful Wolverines team who is on a streak of 20 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

After the Traverse City tournament, they will play Ferris State in a double-header at 3 p.m. on Oct. 2. to finish the fall season.

CMU’s regular season will begin in February of 2015.

It will be Margo Jonker’s 35th season as head coach of the Chippewas.
