Number of faculty leaving CMU remains consistent By Alayna Smith Senior Reporter
Data shows the number of faculty who left Central Michigan University during the 2011-12 academic year remained fairly consistent despite turmoil between the Faculty Association and the administration. There were 40 total faculty separations. This includes 20 retirements, 17 resignations and three cases of denied tenure and non-reappointment. These numbers are consistent with previous years. In 2010-11, there were 37 total faculty separations from the university: 18 retirements, 14 resignations, two non-reappointments and one death. There were similar numbers in 200910 with 17 retirements, 20 resignations, one discharge, one death, six non-reappointments and two who did not return from leave, making a total of 43 separations. Matt Serra, director of faculty personnel services, said Friday he did not think last year’s contract negotiations affected the number of faculty separations or hires for this year. “I have no knowledge of any such claims and cannot comment on what appears to be speculation,” he said. “... Based on the data, it does not appear to have had any effect.” Serra said departments employ various methods to attract and maintain faculty members. “After hiring a new faculty member, the department, college and university make every effort to create an environment in which he/she can be successful,” Serra said. “This includes providing resources, guidance and, in some cases, direct mentorship.” Faculty members voiced their concerns about the tense relationship with the administration and were uncertain of the future, Central Michigan Life reported in January. Sociology Department Chairwoman Brigitte Bechtold told CM Life in January she didn’t think the contract was a good compromise. “I am disappointed by the outcome,” she said. “I don’t think this is a good contract. I think that faculty and administration relationships still have a lot of issues and the contract is only one of several.” James Hill, a professor of political science, told CM Life previously he felt the relationship between the FA and administration was severely damaged. “The wounds are very deep,” Hill said. “This will take some positive outreach to the faculty by the administration to begin what I think will be a long healing process.” university@cm-life.com

‘A change of pace’ All American Rejects, Boys Like Girls bring new genre to Events Center Sunday By Ryan Fitzmaurice | Staff Reporter
Sunday night’s concert was the first concert Milford junior Josh Manning has attended in his three years at Central Michigan University. He didn’t find the “hip-hop stuff ” Program Board usually brings in appealing, he wasn’t into a lot of mainstream music, but rock and roll — that Manning could do.
“This is a change of pace for Central Michigan: It’s different, and I think it’s a change for the better,” Manning said. “I love rock and indie rock, and I thought this was the concert to go to.” More than 2,000 people came to see The Ready Set, Boys Like Girls and The All-American Rejects at the CMU Events Center. The concert was Program Board’s first rock show since We The Kings in fall 2010. John Bachor, a Dearborn Heights freshman, said this was the first concert in his life. He was excited that the first bands he got to witness firsthand were going to be Boys Like Girls and All-American Rejects. “These bands are different from most bands,” Bachor said. “Most hip-hop bands just sing about themselves. These bands sing about real issues.” The Ready Set started the night blistering through a raucous set, even breaking into an

Football isn’t the only thing that got the crowd on their feet at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium on Friday night. Thousands of fans unleashed the loudest of cheers, not for the football game, but for the many veterans who were recognized during Friday’s game against the Navy Midshipmen. Sgt. Randy Richmond, a U.S. Army veteran who served in the 11th Armored Calvary Regiment in Vietnam from December 1970 to 1971, was among those honored. “I felt very honored to be able to get recognized (during the football game),” Richmond said. “Seeing everyone stand up and cheer for all of us almost brought tears to my eyes;

VETERANS| Spc. Nickolas Easterling, from Hillsdale, carried the U.S. flag, while Pfc. Larry Westcomb, from Three Rivers, carried the 126th Calvary flag and Pfc. Wesley Tahash, of Bay City, carried the 125th Infantry flag. During timeouts in the first quarter, the veterans were invited onto the field to receive recognition and mention of the accolades they achieved while in service. Drafted in December of 1970 and deployed to Vietnam, Richmond said he loves his country and gladly did whatever was asked of him. “I never really asked any questions,” Richmond said. “I just showed up and did everything my officers asked of me the best I could.” Richmond received a Bronze Star, Air Medal with “V” designation for Valor, Vietnam Service Medal and the Combat Infantry Badge for his service during the Vietnam War. After his tour in Vietnam, Richmond came to Mount Pleasant and graduated from Central Michigan University in 1978. Lauren Lironis, an Army veteran of World War II, also received recognition. Lironis was deployed to
Omaha Beach and participated in the initial invasion of Europe. Serving as a member of the 246th Combat Engineers, he was involved in every major battle from Omaha Beach to Berlin. Lironis was accompanied on the sidelines by his wife, Lizzy. He said he felt a little overwhelmed by the crowd and their response to him being recognized. “I was so happy, you would almost think I was in my right mind,” he said. Lizzy said watching her husband, Lauren, stand on the field and seeing the crowd honor him was a very emotional experience. During his service in World War II, Lironis received a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, six Battle Stars and three Purple Hearts. Lauren has several connections to CMU, with two nephews in the Chippewa Marching Band, as well as having four of his brothers graduate from CMU in the 1940s. Lizzy graduated from CMU in 1981. During the break between the first and second quarter, Derek Gagne was recognized for his service and sacrifice during the war in Iraq as a continuation of Military Appreciation Night. Gagne, a member of the Wounded Warrior Project and a Michigan Army National Guard veteran, was deployed from
2006 to 2007 in Operation Iraqi Freedom as a member of the 46th Military Police Battalion. While on patrol as a gunner in January 2007, Gagne’s Humvee was hit by an improvised explosive device. The driver of the Humvee was killed in action, while Gagne and his truck commander suffered multiple severe injuries, which included the loss of Gagne’s right leg from the knee down. “It was a great honor to be invited onto the field to receive recognition for serving our country,” he said. Other veterans who were recognized include WWII Navy veteran Winfred Bachman, a Korean War Army veteran Jack McConnell; Wendell Phenix, a Marine veteran who also served in Korea; Command Sgt. Major Terry Richardson, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam; Tim Prescott, a Navy veteran who served in Grenada; 1st Sgt. Pete Kirley, Michigan Army National Guard veteran who served in the Gulf War; Staff Sgt. Joseph Garvie, a Michigan Army National Guard veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom; Sgt. Andrew Rasmussen of the Michigan Army National Guard serving in Operation New Dawn; and Lt. Mike Major, a Navy veteran who served in Operation Enduring Freedom.
One,” their collaboration with pop sensation Taylor Swift. With Taylor Swift not in attendance, Boys Like Girls pulled Grand Blanc senior Kimberly Hanksworth on stage instructing her to look longingly into the lead singer’s eyes and sing Swift’s second verse. She followed the instructions to the letter. Boys Like Girls ended the
concert telling the audience to put away their cameras and cell phones so they could “rock and roll like the old days.” Lansing senior Rachel Chilcote said the next band up had special significance to her. “I’ve been listening to the All-American Rejects since my childhood,” she said. “I have a lot of memories attached to them.”
All-American Rejects burst on the stage with a rendition of “Dirty Little Secret” and followed that up with the crowd favorite “I Wanna” for their third song. “There’s not much to do here except drink and rock tonight,” AAR lead singer Tyson Ritter said to an eruption of cheers.
“(Begala is) going to be talking about the value of political participation, particularly for young adults and how important it is for citizens to be engaged in the political process,” Perez said. Perez said Begala will be talking about important political issues but in a way that regular people will relate to. “They’re serious issues, but he can make them very interesting and funny,” he said. The event is not just aimed at political science students. Anyone who wants to learn about the political process is encouraged to attend.
“Anyone that’s interested about being an informed citizen would be interested in Mr. Begala’s talk,” Perez said. Perez said Begala will speak for about 45 minutes, followed by a question-and-answer session for another 45 minutes. A book signing will be held after the lecture. Hill said if students want to get an insider’s look at the campaigns and understand the significance of the presidential race, this is the event to attend. “It beats the heck out of talking heads on TV,” he said.

House bill would limit fees charged on FoiA requests
US SENATE RACE
Stabenow, Hoekstra will not debate By John Irwin elections Coordinator
By Elizabeth Benson Staff Reporter
Those who file Freedom of Information Act requests might pay less in the future. House Bill No. 5879, introduced Sept. 11 by Rep. Mike Shirkey, RClarkville, would amend Michigan’s FOIA legislation placing a limit on how much public agencies can charge for public records. “House Bill 5879 has been referred to the Committee on Oversight, Reform and Ethics,” said Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant. “There would likely be committee hearing and testimony before this bill would move to the house floor for consideration by the full House of Representatives.” If passed, state agencies would no longer be able to charge for the inspection of records, and hourly wages can only be charged for the lowest paid employee capable of retrieving the information at a public agency. Under the proposed bill, if a FOIA is denied and the case is brought to court, agencies will not be allowed to cite new reasons for denying the request beyond those given in the initial denial. According to the legislation, “A public body shall not charge a fee for a record produced more than five days after the deadline.” The bill would limit copying costs to a maximum of 10 cents per page. Fees will also be reduced by 20 percent a day for any requests filed past the deadline, creating an incentive to complete FOIAs in a more timely manner. “Charging enormous costs for a FOIA request is a form of economic stonewalling and must never be tolerated in our democratic society,” Shirkey said. “The people have an inherent right to view public documents. The legislation is about ensuring transparency and accountability in our system of government.” Cotter said the bill would create a uniformity in charges amongst municipalities. At present, agencies have up to five business days to approve or deny the request and can ask for an additional 10-day extension. But there is a long road ahead of this bill, though, from introduction to being passed, Cotter said. “There has already been discussion both in support and against the legislation, and I look forward to hearing more from both sides as the bill works its way through the legislative process,” Cotter said. metro@cm-life.com
issues. “It wasn’t police brutality,” Mioduszewski said. “It was medical. We had nothing to do with it.” Ketner will be arraigned when he is released from the hospital in the next day or two, Mioduszewski said. Mioduszewski said the victim was taken to Clare Community Hospital, where he received stitches for a head wound, and was then released. The Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department continues to investigate the situation.
A Michigan political tradition of sorts will end this year as U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Republican nominee Pete Hoekstra will not debate before the election. Debbie Stabenow The Stabenow campaign announced in a statement Thursday that it would not be participating in any debates after they and the Hoekstra campaign failed to reach an agreement on how many debates Pete Hoekstra to have. Both sides blame the other for failing to decide on debate times and locations. Stabenow had previously agreed to debate Hoekstra at the Detroit Economic Club and at Grand Valley State University, the two locations of every Senate debate since 1996. Hoekstra had been asking for six debates, and his campaign says it had agreements with television stations to broadcast them. “Unfortunately, rather than agree to continue Michigan’s tradition, Pete Hoekstra has instead chosen to launch repeated political attacks and has refused to even start negotiations,” Stabenow campaign manager Dan Farough said in statement, urging the Hoekstra campaign to move on because of there being little time left in the election season. The Hoekstra campaign sees things differently. “Michigan families should be appalled that Debbie Stabenow is attempting to cancel all debates,” Hoestra said in a statement. “She saw what happened in the presidential debate when the incumbent is held accountable for the failed Obama/Stabenow economy, and she clearly now feels that she cannot defend her record.” The two candidates have been locked in a heated battle for one of Michigan’s Senate seats for months, but Stabenow has held a solid lead in most polls all year. A poll conducted for The Detroit News and WDIV-TV last week found Stabenow with a 12.6-percent lead over Hoekstra, 50.1 percent to 37.5 percent. The poll was conducted by Glengariff Group Inc. and sampled 600 Michiganders. Similarly, an EPIC-MRA poll of 600 likely Michigan voters conducted for the Detroit Free Press found Stabenow beating Hoekstra by 20 percent last week, 55 percent to 35 percent. Stabenow, seeking her third term as senator, has raised about four times as much money for her campaign as Hoekstra. As of their last campaign finance reports in July, Stabenow had raised about $12 million compared to the roughly $3.5 million Hoekstra had raised. There is little reason to think that gap has closed much considering Hoekstra’s recent appearance at Oakland University with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. Speaking before Ryan at the rally, Hoekstra urged those in attendance to donate money to his campaign to help pay for more advertisements. Former president Bill Clinton recently attended a fundraiser for Stabenow in Royal Oak. The event raised $350,000 for her campaign.

The two teams competed Saturday night at Spinning Wheels Arena, 1241 N. Mission Road. Both teams consisted of players from all over mid-Michigan and all different teams to make a hodgepodge of willing contestants. The game is played

A point is scored for each pass through the pack after the first. Kristy Saxton, or KrushNer, of Mount Pleasant knows there is much more to roller derby than picking out a derby name and being tough.

Mount Pleasant man Blake Ketner arrested following armed home invasion By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
A Mount Pleasant man is in police custody following an armed home invasion Friday in Isabella County’s Wise Township. The Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department arrested 29-year-old Blake Ryan Ketner Friday night following a standoff with police. They allege Ketner broke into a home in the 9000 block of East Coleman Road and stole a handgun and possibly more firearms from it. While Ketner was inside, the owner returned home, and a struggle ensued, ending in Ketner
hitting the homeowner in the head with a handgun and running out of the home. The homeowner fired a shot at Ketner but did not hit him, police said. Blake Ketner Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said police were in the process of getting search warrants for both Ketner’s home and his mother’s home when his mother told police her son was at her home on the 8000 block of North Wise Road. Police arrived to Ketner’s
mother’s home about 3 p.m, where they found Ketner had barricaded himself inside the home. Mioduszewski said police are unsure how long Katner was barricaded inside the home before they arrived. With the assistance of surrounding law enforcement agencies, Ketner was taken into custody about 8:51 p.m. Friday. He has been arrested on five charges: home invasion first degree, assault with a dangerous weapon, larceny of firearms, assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer and felony firearm. Ketner is currently being treated at McLaren-Central Michigan hospital for unidentified medical
College students adopt puppies, kittens without knowing responsibility involved By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
A trip to the animal shelter is difficult to finish without taking home a dog or cat. In Mount Pleasant, students can venture to Isabella County Animal Control, 1105 S. Isabella Road. The animal shelter houses 140 cats and upwards of 40 dogs at any given time. Volunteers and employees keep busy caring for numerous animals, but puppies and kittens are few and far between. Humane Animal Treatment Society staff member and Mount Pleasant senior Amanda Tillotson said puppies typically stay at the shelter only as long as they have to be held to receive medical treatment. After that, they’re adopted out quickly. Tillotson said Friday three puppies went up for adoption, and all three
were adopted that very same day. “Everyone wants a puppy, because they’re cute and adorable,” she said. Assistant Feline Supervisor Autumn Scott said although many people have good intentions when adopting from the shelter, many are also irresponsible. “It’s sad. They’re investing in a life; it’s not a toy they can return,” Scott said. “You’re their family; all they know is you.” Like with puppies, feline care specialist Mary Anne Tompkins said people are drawn to kittens because of the cuteness factor. However, many aspects play into the suitability between a pet owner and a cat, and many people have unrealistic expectations when adopting from the shelter. Cats, like humans, have distinct personalities. When adopting a kitten, its personality type is not
apparent, Tompkins said. People need to see past an animal’s size and appearance when adopting. “If you can look beyond color, you can get something better for your match,” Tompkins said. “You’re getting an imperfect pet because of where they came from. An adult would be better suited, because they know where they came from.” She said if students aren’t sure if they’re ready for the lasting commitment of an animal but still want the companionship of a pet, then they can help by fostering kittens. Tompkins said people need to do their homework before adopting an animal and realize they could have their cat for the next 20 years. “Know what you’re getting into,” she said. “Don’t make a rash decision.” A PUPPIES| 5A

EDITORIAL | no debates hurts Hoekstra, Stabenow
Pointing fingers
I
t turns out Democrats and Republicans can’t even
can think on his or her feet. This race needs a moderator like the one a debate could have provided, but it seems Hoekstra is hoping to instill shock-and-awe in undecided voters, while Stabenow is unable to part from old habits. Now, voters are left in the dust, having to rely on campaign messages and TV commercials hand-craftily spun to fit each candidate’s platform. Hoekstra looks particularly bad here. The idea of having six debates was ridiculous and doomed to fail from the beginning. Now, Hoekstra’s best chance at re-introducing himself to Michigan voters as a plausible alternative to Stabenow is gone. His refusal to compromise on debate times and locations might have sealed his fate as
come together to figure out a place and time to disagree with each other.
At least that’s the case with Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Republican challenger Pete Hoekstra. In a huge disservice to Michigan voters, Stabenow and Hoekstra have announced they will not debate each other before the Nov. 6 election, because they cannot decide on how many debates to have and where to have them. Stabenow was calling for two debates at the Detroit Economic Club and Grand Valley State University, the two traditional locations for Senate debates, while Hoekstra wanted six debates, all televised on network TV.
In yet another example of the increasingly partisan political world we live in, any thought of compromise was thrown out the window, and finger-pointing ensued. Before, debates were considered commonplace, a chance for voters to get a first-hand account of where the candidates stood on issues and the differences that set them apart. It is one thing to prepare a statement or a commercial, but it is quite another to debate head-to-head. It is only in that vulnerable situation that we can see how well a candidate
the loser in the Senate race, one that some considered he had a serious bid for prior to his infamous race-baiting Super Bowl commercial. With challenger Hoekstra trailing Stabenow by double digits in the polls, a series of debates can only help him. And while Stabenow declined Hoekstra’s call for six debates, a smart campaign move on her part, the real losers in this sad case of gridlock are Michigan voters. We hope that both campaigns can come together soon and agree on at least one debate prior to election day. While both candidates might not be able to come together on the number of debates, they should be able to agree on the necessity of them to our democracy.

Proud to be an American Have you ever had one of those moments of such intense pride that feelings of happiness and excitement take over to the point that tears are almost in your eyes? We all have. It happens to each of us at different times and different ways. A few of these moments, for me personally, include taking the field for my last game of high school football or seeing my dad rush out the door at the sound of his pager, not hesitating for a second to go fight a fire that was consuming a complete stranger’s house. But I had another moment on Friday that far surpasses others. As I stood on the sidelines covering the recognition of veterans during Friday’s game, I was so proud to see the way the crowd responded to the ceremony. At first, I just tried to take note of which veteran was which, in order to set up interviews after the ceremony. But I was quickly distracted by the crowd. As the names of the veterans were being read off, along with their service achievements and awards, I turned around to see the entire crowd respond in the only way that seemed appropriate: A standing ovation. That gesture of respect, accompanied by cheers louder than any I have ever heard at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, overwhelmed me with a sense of national pride. Moments like those are precisely what I am talking about—where goosebumps cover your arms and the smile on your face is so big that your cheeks hurt afterward. Throughout the night, I had an opportunity to talk to several veterans who served in wars ranging from World War II to the war in Iraq. I must admit, it was tough to keep my own composure as I talked with a Vietnam veteran who couldn’t hold back his tears. He shared how this was something totally new for him, because, when he came home from the war, there was little welcome for him and his fellow soldiers. Eventually, I couldn’t stop thinking about the sacrifices these soldiers make, whether it is missing holidays with their family or literally sacrificing limbs for this country, there really are no words that could ever fully describe how thankful I am for the service men and women in this country. Seeing the CMU fans respond the way they did was what led me to have one of those moments. It’s the things like that, seeing people leave their seats and yell louder than a game-winning touchdown pass in order to thank this nation’s veterans that make me proud to be an American.

[LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]
Club hockey ban leaves questions Was there misuse of power in the Club Hockey ban? I urge CM Life to take a deeper look at the five-year ban on the CMU Men’s Club Hockey team for allegedly hazing and providing alcohol to minors. The school has not shared their process for reaching their conclusion nor have they provided sound evidence to support the ruling. The week following the alleged incident, the school told team members they had to go online to sign the student policies “if they want to play hockey this year.” Not only did they mislead the team, they are now trying to hold members to a policy that was signed AFTER the incident for which they are being punished. (see policies http://cmich.orgsync.com/osrr). A school official, with whom none
of the team members had met, arrived five minutes prior to the hearing to deliver the ruling. In addition, the decision-making committee only allowed one team member to represent the team at the hearing. Why would the school label these kids without proper evidence or representation? Hazing is a very serious allegation with a real stigma attached to it. Has the school accurately defined the term hazing, and does their evidence support their definition? By the way, has anyone interviewed the rookies who were allegedly hazed? Do they feel they were hazed? My guess is no. The team has successfully represented CMU on-ice against dozens of schools, becoming 13th in the Nation for their division last year, as well as off-ice with
charitable work and weekly work with Mt. Pleasant Youth Hockey. I don’t think these things were considered when the committee made their decision. In fact, I’m not sure what was considered when the committee made their decision. Who was on the committee, and what was their process? Why would the committee only allow one team member to represent the team at the hearing? My questions for CM Life: Did these young men receive an unbiased hearing before being labeled with hazing? Was there a fair and equitable process to reach such a significant conclusion? Is the university simply exercising absolute power in a small town? -Theresa O’Dea Birmingham resident
Lawrence allegations uncalled for I am writing this letter in response to the defamatory allegations made in a recent Letter to the Editor section entitled: “Disgusted by campaigns actions”. I am a volunteer with the campaign and would like to share some actual facts in response to what was recently written. The “Adam Lawrence for Mid-Michigan” campaign recently released a song called: “Whistle While You Vote,” to promote the importance of voting this election. The song was put to a slide show filled with campaign photos and posted onto YouTube for viewers to see. The letter written to CM Life addressing this video strays too far from the truth to not be addressed with facts. The claims of “stolen intellectual property” and “dirty
politics” by the author are both misleading and irresponsible. The photo in question came from Lawrence’s own Facebook page and has been available for public view since April when he was “tagged” in it. Viewers can see this photo at the 31-sec mark of “Whistle While You Vote.” Relating this to a purposeful pilfering of intellectual property could not be further from the truth. Ms. McDonnell addressed the photos usage to the campaign by posting her “disgust” in a demeaning social media rant. In this tirade, she never once asked for it to be taken down or for her to be credited. Based on that and the article, I believe McDonnell was using this
as an opportunity to attack Lawrence for personal reasons. Letters written to a newspaper should have a purpose other than malicious intent for the sake of self-gain. If McDonnell was actually concerned about her intellectual property, she would have privately asked to be credited or it to be taken down. This is simply an instance where an individual saw the opportunity to take a shot at a public figure, and she took it. If any voter wants to know the actual character of Adam Lawrence, ask any of the teachers, workers and seniors he is out there fighting for every day. -Tim Vanwoerkom

Courting the black vote Conservative talking heads are fond of noting the African-American voting bloc’s near uniform support of Barack Obama. In 2008, they’ll remind you, Obama captured 95 percent the black vote. In constantly recalling of this number, which is indeed factually accurate, conservatives invite their audience to presume Obama’s skin color is the sole reason he enjoys such ardent support from the black community. Blacks, conservatives imply, don’t really care about policy. Blacks, they insinuate, just want one of their own in office. Blacks, they snicker and snort, don’t know what’s best for their own community. And then that’s it. After announcing some cherrypicked statistic, constructive conservative commentary on the issue comes to a halt, punctuated by a coy smirk and an advertisement for Hoveround or Goldline. With such inherently insulting commentary about blacks coming from the right wing, it is little wonder the black community’s blood runs a deep shade of blue. Conservatives can’t even do us the courtesy of disguising their borderline-racist rhetoric behind a few streaks of camouflage. And yet, the insensitive blather constantly emanating from today’s right wing isn’t the root reason why Obama enjoys such staunch support from blacks. During his 2008 presidential run, Mitt Romney stopped in Jacksonville, Fla, for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event. Romney, ever a paragon of intercultural savvy, uttered clumsy banalities while posing for photos with black youths. “Who let the dogs out?” he chuckled, tacking two barks at the end of the sentence for good measure. At the same event, Romney said to a black infant, “Oh, I see you’ve got some bling-bling here,” evidently in reference to the baby’s attire. Romney’s awkward banter is indicative of conservatives’ general ignorance about Black America. The prominent conservative image of Black America, it would seem, is a haphazard collage pasted together by an aging white plutocrat who once caught a glimpse of BET at the turn of the millennium. Conservatives like Romney treat blacks like intellectual inferiors, not a demographic whose perspective deserves to be considered for the simple fact that they, too, are American. The right wing loathes to put any real effort into understanding the black community, so they shamelessly mock it to eke out political gains from their myopic base.

Ancestral remains honored during Friday Saginaw Chippewa ceremony By Adam Niemi Senior Reporter
The human remains of 120 Chippewa ancestors were returned to their home region on Friday after being in the back rooms and museums of the University of Michigan and elsewhere. “A lot of this is celebratory,” Frank Cloutier, the Saginaw Chippewa tribe’s public relations director said. “It’s symbolic.” Members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe walked the remains of the ancestors to the Nibokaan Cemetery, 7525 E. Tomah Road, a repatriation burial ground dedicated to the sole purpose of repatriating ancestral remains in 1995. Cloutier said it is considered a high honor to be someone who carries the remains. The spiritual belief of the tribe includes the belief that tribal members and ancestors who pass on must make a walk after death into the afterlife. To carry the remains is in essence the beginning of the deceased’s walk, he said. Since the remains of the ancestors were mostly hun-
puppies | continued from 3A Aside from looks, canine care specialist Zach Patton said many people hold the belief a puppy will be easier to train to their needs than an adult dog, who is already trained a certain way. However, Tillotson said that’s not necessarily the case. Rather, many people who adopt puppies don’t realize the amount of work and the hours that go into training them. “A puppy is like having a baby; it’s really not an ideal situation,” Tillotson said. Being an unprepared pet owner is one of the main reasons innocent animals end up back at the shelter, Tillotson said. “They don’t necessarily do anything wrong,” HATS volun-
dreds of years old and some of them thousands of years old, they already made their walk. Most of the remains were at the University of Michigan and used for studies and museum display pieces at the Robert S. Peabody Museum of Archaeology. However, the ceremony was important to honor their ancestors who were buried before and dug up again. The remains were once made up of ancestors who lived in the Turtle Island region, a band of Native Americans from south Michigan to southern Ontario. On Oct. 7, the remains of one ancestor came from Andover, Mass. A small group of Saginaw Chippewa tribal members drove there to retrieve and sign for control of the remains. Delegates from Ojibwe, Ottawa and Potawatomi Tribes joined Saginaw Chippewa members at the University of Michigan Tuesday through Thursday to sign for control of the majority of remains brought back to the cemetery. Members of various communities of tribes came from as far as Montana to honor the ancestors.
The ceremony itself took place in a wigwam, adhering to a tradition in which the setting for honoring tribal members has not changed in centuries. Those who carried the remains entered the east door walking forward. After the ceremony, they carried the remains out, walking backward facing east, taking the remains to the burial site in the cemetery. The cardinal direction west is symbolic of death and the afterlife, and only those who have died may face west. All the remains were prepared in burial bundles, colorful cloth sheets in which the remains were wrapped and blessed for burial. Sheets of burlap were laid on the bottom of a six-foot-deep hole with cedar leaves laid on top. Cedar is considered by the tribe to be a medicine and is traditionally used in burial ceremonies to help aid the dead in their walk to the afterlife. An offering of food wrapped in a red cloth is also buried with,to provide nutrition for the journey. Sheets of birch bark were then laid on the cedar, and
teer Jennifer Souva said. “It’s not their fault.” Patton said dogs, like humans, experience emotional and psychological trauma when their owners neglect them. “It’s something they have for the rest of their life,” he said. “We do our best to make them as comfortable as possible.” Patton said it’s not just college students returning animals to the shelter; unprepared pet owners range from college students to grown adults. Returned even more often than dogs, are cats, Tillotson said. However, with cats, training typically isn’t the problem. Tompkins said 15 to 20 percent of the kittens and cats adopted out of the shelter are later brought back. That number is even higher when counting cats given to the shelter who were adopted elsewhere first.

Saxton said the idea for zombies vs. vampires came last year. “Last year, we wanted to do a fun fundraiser for Halloween,” she said. “I don’t even know how zombies and vampires were the two that we picked, but it was what was thrown up, and we were like ‘Oh yeah.”’ Roller derby is a contact sport that relies on teamwork, speed, finesse and strength in combination.
City of Mount Pleasant to spend more than $850,000 on Jockey Alley reconstruction By Emily Grove Staff Reporter
A firm has been selected by the city of Mount Pleasant to plan the extensive reconstruction of downtown’s Jockey Alley. Fleis & Vandenbrink Engineering, Inc. of Midland was selected to engineer the project at a cost of no more than $51,000. The total cost of the entire project will be much larger, with the city spending more than $850,000 for the overhaul of Jockey Alley, also known as Parking Lot 2. The deteriorating conditions of Jockey Alley, located south of the county building and north of Broadway Street between Main and University streets, called for a long-term solution after more than 20 years with no major improvements. “The surface of the alley and parking lot are at the end of their life cycle. They’re just wore out and need to be replaced,” Director of Public Works Roger Rousse said. “When roads and lots get older, the cost to maintain them go up, and when you’re spending considerable resources on fixes, that’s an indicator to just totally replace. This is a total reconstruction.” A grant of $583,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation will cover the majority of the cost, while $287,500 from the city’s capital improvement plan will cover the rest. Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller said when the city had the Main and Mosher streets roundabout installed, excavators found the base of Parking Lot 2 had lost its integrity. “There are different layers of gravel, sand and then asphalt on top. The base is bad and sinks in certain spots,” Sponseller said. “You can see potholes and patches we’ve done, but ultimately with a bad base you have to pull everything out.” A major part of the project will be burying the utility wires. Rousse said this will be a big change, and one of the most difficult parts of the reconstruction.
“I believe there are six different utilities with overhead wires,” Rousse said. “Our biggest challenge and biggest expense is burying those and reconnecting them to the businesses.” Another issue will be looking at the storm sewer under the lot, which Sponseller said also hasn’t been addressed in some time. The storm sewer runs directly into the Chippewa River, Sponseller said. “That’s a horrifying thought,” she said. “We need to look at good ecological ways to filter water before it goes into river. We’re looking at maybe layers of sand to filter impurities so it’s already cleaned naturally by the time it reaches the river.” Other updates for the lot in-
clude LED lighting, a dumpster enclosure, increasing universal access and an electric car charging station, Sponseller said. Rousse said there is no scheduled date for construction to start, but the city would like the project to be completed by the Fourth of July, though it could be bumped back if more time is needed. The reconstruction will be a huge benefit to downtown, Sponseller said. “It’s the most-used public parking spot downtown. Max and Emily’s does 60 percent of their business through that back alley,” Sponseller said. “It’s vital that the alley is well-maintained, looks good and performs well.”

Saginaw Chippewa Tribal member Julie Whitepigeon, center, carries the remains of Native American ancestors to the Nibokaan Cemetery, 7525 E. Tomah Road, Friday afternoon on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe reservation. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery following a repatriation ceremony. It is considered a high honor to carry the remains as they begin the journey for the ancestors’ walk through the afterlife, according to the tribe’s spiritual beliefs.
sprinkle tobacco in the hole. After the ceremony, Dennis Banks, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, spoke to an audience at the Elijah Elk Cultural Center Ceremonial Building, 7957 E. Remus Road. He questioned the right of other people to disturb the final resting place of the Natives’ ancestors. “What’s there to study about our bones?” Banks said. “What gives them the right to dig up our graves?”
finally, the bundles were placed into the hole. Birch bark was laid on top of the bundles. Those who carried the remains had then cleansed their hands by rubbing cedar leaves on their hands and wave sage smoke in their faces to soothe their emotions. Cloutier said the cleansing ended their responsibility for carrying the ancestors. Attendees of the ceremony were then allowed to Players, referees and community members danced to Michael Jackson’s Thriller during halftime. Annie Mitchell, known as B.A. Betty, of Hell recounted the first time she started in roller derby. “I’d just moved to Mount Pleasant, and my mom and I were walking downtown (when) they were having this art (event), and one of the gals was sitting in the booth and had an itty bitty little poster that was a recruitment flier. My mom told me that I should do it, and I would be perfect and that was the start of it for me,” Mitchell said. Mitchell said the teams compete for free.
Nevertheless, the ceremony brought closure to the ancestors and the tribe, which is also apparent in the tradition of leaving a ceremony. When the tobacco was sprinkled, they were told not to look back. “When you make that final turn, you don’t look back,” a tribal member in the crowd said. “That’s what our relatives told us. We have bid them a good journey.” metro@cm-life.com

Friday night lights disappointment
By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
The Central Michigan football team spent all week preparing for the 15th ranked rushing offense of the Navy Midshipmen. Navy used seven different ball carriers to gain 238 yards Friday night, but it was the passing game that did most of the major damage in its 31-13 win over the Chippewas. On the first play of the game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Navy freshman quarterback Kennan Reynolds completed a 26-yard pass down the middle to senior slot back Bo Snelson. The play would become a recurring theme. The Midshipmen, who made their first-ever trip to CMU, scored three times via the pass after scoring only one time through the air in its previous five games. “It’s real simple,” head coach Dan Enos said. “It’s option offense; they put your safeties in run-pass conflict, and we talked all week about reading your keys. Our true freshman safety peeked in the backfield, and the guy ran by him. Kavon (Frazier) will learn from that.” The Chippewas scored their only touchdown with 56 seconds to go when senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff connected with sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis on a 29-yard touchdown pass to make it 17-10, Navy. “That was a big drive to cut it to a one-possession game,” Enos said. “We knew we were getting the ball to start the second half. We had the ball down on the four–yard line twice. If we score touchdowns there instead of field goals, it’s a different game.” On their first drive of the second half, senior kicker David Harman made a 22-yard field goal to make it 17-13. Navy responded with an 11-play, 61-yard drive on its next possession, capped off by a two-yard touchdown run by senior fullback Prentice Christian to make the score 24-13 with 4:08 to go in the third quarter. On the CMU’s next drive, Radcliff dropped back to pass but fumbled the ball and recovered it for a nine–yard loss. Following a drop by Davis, an overthrow by Radcliff and a 35–yard punt, Navy took over on the Chippewas 41–yard line. On the first play, Reynolds hit senior slot back Gee Gee Greene on a seam route for a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Midshipmen a 31-13 lead with 2:53 to go in the third quarter. Greene finished with seven rushes for 39 yards and two catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. In the first half, Navy made it 7-0 on its first drive when Reynolds completed a 23-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Brandon Turner. On the ensuing kickoff, CMU freshman running back Saylor Lavallii returned the ball 69 yards to the Navy 22-yard line. The return set up a 29yard field goal by senior kicker David Harman to make the score 7-3. “Saylor Lavallii is going to be a great football player,” Enos said. “He’s tough, he’s thick, he’s explosive, and he’s a gamer; he likes to play. Any game we put him in, the environment has never been too big for him. He’s had that look in his eye since he’s been here. His role will continue to grow as the season goes on.” On Navy’s next drive, another breakdown in the defensive backfield led to the second Navy score of the game; a 19-yard touchdown pass from Reynolds to Greene to make it 14-3 with 3:49 to go in the first quarter. Radcliff threw for 139 yards and a touchdown after throwing for only eight yards in the first quarter. He was benched in the fourth quarter in favor of redshirt sophomore Cody Kater. The Chippewas were outgained 372 yards to 221. “We were trying to get a spark by bringing in Cody,” Enos said. “We hit a lull on two straight offensive possessions. He practices very well, but he went in there and wouldn’t set his feet and throw either.”

A CMU soaker Women’s soccer faces wild weather, beats Buffalo 3-0 By Ryan Solecki | Staff Reporter
Check out a photo gallery of yesterday’s game on cm-life.com The women’s soccer team won its 37th consecutive home game 3-0 against Buffalo Sunday in a game where there were more puddles than players on the field. “I’ve never seen anything like the weather we had today, either as a player or a coach,” head coach Neil Stafford said. The rain and wind started off slow, much like the pace of the game, with no shots or fouls recorded within the first ten minutes of the game. But as the game went on, the conditions worsened, and the pace picked up offensively for Central Michigan. Junior midfielder Kaely Schlosser got CMU started by getting four of the team’s first five shots, two of which were on net. The Chippewas continued to pile on shots, out–shooting the Bulls 12-1 in the first half. The puddles started to accumulate at the start of the second half,

which made playing conditions much worse. The Chippewas capitalized on a break in the weather with a goal by senior midfielder Autumn Hawkins inside the 18-yard box with a sliding left kick ten minutes into the half. Rain and wind made their way back into the game and caused severe problems for both teams. “In the second half, the puddles on the field were the biggest problem,” Hawkins said. “Passes would just stop, so we had to compensate and try to over hit the ball, but the wind also made it hard.” Despite the troubles, CMU maintained control of the game, playing almost all of the second half in Buffalos’ territory. With twenty minutes left in the half, the Chippewas added an insurance goal by freshman forward
Danielle Rotheram. CMU put the game out of reach with a third goal by junior forward Jennifer Gassman with eight minutes left. The Chippewas maintained control the entire game, out–shooting Buffalo 23–2. “I’m so happy with the way our team has dealt with adversity the past week,” Stafford said. “Going back to the Northern Illinois game and being down a man and still out–shooting the other team,and today with these weather situations; we stepped up our game.” The Chippewas have won six of their last seven games and will ride the momentum into another home game at 4:30 p.m. Friday against the Mid–American Conference East leader Miami (Ohio). sports@cm-life.com
Coming home from a three– game road trip, I was really expecting CMU to put together a better performance Friday. It was a nationally televised game on ESPN2 and the first time the team has been home in a month. But Navy outplayed the Chippewas in pretty much every aspect on the field. CMU virtually had no answer for the Navy triple–option offense. Almost every run, it seemed like the Midshipmen would gain at least four to six yards. The Chippewas were not able to get any penetration at the line and could not limit the Navy offense to short gains. The Midshipmen routinely had short second and third down attempts, and, even if CMU was able to hold them on third down, Navy was 5-for-5 on fourth-down attempts. The Chippewa defense knew the Midshipmen would run the ball a majority of the time, but they also needed to be wary of the big pass play; they weren’t. Navy had just six completions but for 134 yards and three touchdowns. It entered the game with just one touchdown pass this season. On offense, CMU was not able to find any rhythm. The offensive line gave Ryan Radcliff and Cody Kater ample time to throw, but they were not able to do much with it. Although the Chippewas had just 4:59 minutes of possession in the first quarter, Radcliff was limited to eight passing yards. Yes, it was cold, but the wind was mild compared to most games at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. There are no more excuses left for the Chippewas. They just need to play better. The remarkable comeback victory against Iowa on Sept. 22 is becoming a distant memory. Once again, fans are beginning to give up on this football team, and the only way to prevent it is to put tallies in the win column. And with the schedule it has left, there is no reason why CMU should not be able to do that. Ball State is the only team with a winning–record, and Akron, Eastern Michigan and Massachusetts are a combined 1–18 this season. CMU needs to go at least 4-2 in that stretch to finish with a .500 record. Anything less than that will be considered another disappointing season ... for the third–straight year.
Field hockey drops two weekend games to Indiana, Northwestern By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter
The field hockey team was outscored 10–2 in back–to–back losses in Evanston, Ill. to Indiana Saturday and Northwestern Sunday. “Both of these Big Ten teams have some really solid players on defense,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “We have to go to the area the defense gives us instead of trying to force it.” Northwestern’s Chelsea Armstrong, one of the top–five scorers in the country, unleashed the first two goals of the game off penalty corners in the 16th and 20th minutes to lead the Wildcats to a 6-0 victory over CMU Sunday. “They’re very strong,” Freese said. “(They have) a couple really good scorers, and I thought overall they played a really good game.” The game was halted with 12:55 left because of a tornado warning with Northwestern leading 3-0. After the delay, Caroline Troncelliti added two goals in the 59th minute for NU. Mary Susan Bro added one more
with 22 seconds left in the game. “We stayed focused, and we were ready to go out and play again,” Freese said. “Northwestern came back and maybe picked up the pace of the game. They’re not going to have mercy on us.” Simone Lazar returned after missing Saturday’s game with a foot injury against a team she called “fast-paced.” She played for 65 minutes. “We just have to learn from our mistakes and practice at a game pace,” Lazar said. “I think if we do that, we will be able to compete with the (MidAmerican Conference) teams this weekend.”
SATURDAY
The field hockey team allowed Indiana to score three goals on four shots on net in the second half Saturday to lose 4-2 in Evanston, Ill. The Hoosiers used penalty corners to tie the game in the 52nd minute and take a 3-2 lead three minutes later. Immediately after the Chippewas lost the lead for the first time in the game, they called a timeout, but it did

not do them any good. They allowed another goal in the 60th minute. “The first half, we did a very good job of really being disciplined defensively,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “Maybe the second half we lost a little bit of that.” In the first half, it was CMU that
made the most of its scoring chances. The Chippewas used two shots on goal in the first half to take a 2-1 lead going into the break. A FILED HOCKEY | 4B

Week seven: Ohio makes top 25 in AP rankings By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
Sunday morning, when the Associated Press poll was released, the MidAmerican Conference had a ranked team for the first time in the past two seasons. No. 25 Ohio Bobcats (7-0) are the only undefeated MAC team remaining. Out of the five other conference unbeatens, four kept its unblemished record in week seven. There are still five teams without a conference win, and Eastern Michigan and Massachusetts are completely winless.
Toledo Rockets 52, Eastern Michigan 47 Saturday was a classic MAC shootout at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti with 99 points scored and 1,279 total offensive yards tallied by both schools. EMU sophomore running back Bronson Hill had a career day with 283 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Terrance Owens threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns for Toledo.
Kent State 31, Army 17 The Golden Flashes took care of the academy opponent and triple–option offense, unlike Central Michigan. Army still had a whopping 457 total yards and dominated time of possession but struggled to put points on the board after solid drives. Kent State junior running back Dri Archer had 222 rushing yards and a score.
Ohio 34, Akron 28 Even though the Bobcats earned a ranking by the AP poll, it is the third–straight week they won by a touchdown or less against three MAC teams that have a combined 0–9 conference record and 2–17 overall record. Akron quarterback Dalton Williams threw for all four of the Zips’ touchdowns and 298 yards.
Ball State 30, Western Michigan 24 In arguably the most intense MAC game of the week, Ball State scored a touchdown to take the lead
with 50 seconds remaining in regulation. The Broncos true freshman kicker Andrew Haldeman then booted a career-long 52-yard game– tying field goal as time expired. Haldeman missed a field goal in the first overtime before the Cardinals scored to win the game.
Bowling Green 37, Miami 12 The Falcons’ defensive front dominated Saturday, limiting Miami to two rushing yards on 20 attempts. BooBoo Gates scored a defensive touchdown for BGSU on a 37-yard interception return, and the Falcons

cruised, handing Miami its first conference loss.
Northern Illinois 45, Buffalo 3 Junior quarterback Jordan Lynch continued his stellar season with two rushing and passing touchdowns, 232 passing yards and 129 rushing yards. He leads the MAC in total yards by nearly 300. NIU has now won six– straight games and faces only one team with a winning–record the rest of the season in Toledo on Nov. 14.— a game that will likely decide the MAC West Division.

Cody Kater struggles after replacing Ryan Radcliff as quarterback Friday By Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

Navy’s triple option gives CMU defense fits, Chippewas offense kept on the sidelines By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
When senior safety Jahleel Addae was asked how he felt about not having to defend the triple option the rest of the year, he said one word: excited. He did not say it with upbeat emotion, going on to talk about how the defense did not play ‘Chippewa’ football against Navy and how it bothered him. But the triple option clearly frustrated the Central Michigan defense this season. In the first game of the season, Southeast Missouri State also ran that offense and put up 27 points and more than 300 total yards. Navy not only had 372 yards Friday but controlled most of the game – keeping the CMU offense on the sideline. “On offense, they do what they always do,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said. “I think we only ran 22 plays in the first
Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
Football report card: Week seven There was plenty of hype leading up to the Central Michigan football team’s first home game since Sept 8. But even a night game on national television with the debut of the new gold uniforms wasn’t enough to produce positive results in the Navy Midshipmen’s first-ever trip to Kelly/Shorts Stadium. In the end, the only result was a 31-13 defeat and CMU’s thirdstraight loss. Passing Offense: (D) The Chippewas gained just 151 yards through the air after averaging 241 yards per game in its previous five. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff was benched in the fourth quarter after throwing
half. They possessed the ball, and, when they possess the ball like that, it kind of chokes your offense. You feel like you have to score on every drive ... it just becomes difficult.” The Midshipmen were able to control the clock and possession with long drives. With an offense built around picking up three to four yards a play, they kept the CMU defense on the field and the offense sitting. Every Navy drive during the first two quarters was at least eight plays long, outside of running out the game clock to end the first half. The CMU defense only forced one three-and-out, which came with 6:21 left in the game. “It was frustrating ... that’s what Navy likes to do,” Addae said. While Navy is a run–first offense, three of the biggest plays of the game came through the air. Navy quarterback Keenan for 139 yards and a touchdown. He had just eight yards passing in the first quarter. Radcliff and sophomore wide receiver Titus Davis did provide CMU’s only touchdown; a 29-yard pass with 56 seconds to go in the first half. Rushing Offense: (C-) The Chippewas gained just 70 yards rushing compared to Navy’s 238. Junior running back Zurlon Tipton gained 58 yards on just 11 carries, averaging five yards per carry. Freshman running back Saylor Lavallii was impressive, gaining 34 yards on five carries, including one when he hurdled a Navy defender. The play landed him a spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10. Passing Defense: (E) Coming into Friday’s game, Navy had just one passing touchdown. Against CMU, it had three, all on similar seam routes down the middle of the field. After the game, head coach Dan Enos said true freshman Kavon Frazier was caught peeking in the backfield a couple times, but he will learn from the experience. In terms of yardage, the Chippewas only gave up 134 yards, but the breakdowns in the defensive secondary that led to touchdowns are worthy of this grade. Rushing Defense: (C) Coming into the game, the Midshipmen had the nation’s 15th best
Reynolds threw three touchdowns, after the Midshipmen only threw for one score in their first five games. Along with consistently gaining three to four yards a play, Navy put itself in plenty of fourth–and–short situations. The Midshipmen were 5-for-5 on fourth down tries. Enos said all the academy schools, which run the triple option, use all four downs to their advantage. “That makes field position so critical,” he said. “They can’t go for those fourth and ones when they are on their side of the 50.” The rest of the season, CMU will not face another traditional triple–option offense. “We have all conference games left,” Enos said. “We are good enough to win all of those games, but we are good enough to lose all of those games, too.” sports@cm-life.com
rushing offense. Navy runs a triple–option offense, which can be very difficult to stop. Navy had 238 yards rushing, but the Chippewas did a nice job limiting big plays in the run game. Out of the seven players to record a carry for Navy, sophomore fullback Noah Copeland had the best game, gaining 70 yards on 15 carries. Special Teams: (B) The special teams were a bright spot for CMU after being a weakness for the most part in its previous five games. Lavallii had a 69-yard kick return, which set up the first CMU score of the game: a 29-yard field goal by senior David Harman. Harman also made a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter. The Chippewas made a change at punter, replacing junior Richie Hogan with senior Curtis Huge. Huge preformed well, averaging 44.2 yards per punt with a long of 58 yards. He also had two punts inside the 20–yard line. Overall: (D) Many people, including myself, felt that CMU had a very good chance to win this game. This matchup with Navy was a big opportunity for the Chippewas to show they are a much better team than the 3-9 teams of the past two years. Instead, we saw more of the same. The Chippewas displayed shaky quarterback play

Yes! Yes it is!
Sophomore quarterback Cody Kater replaced senior Ryan Radcliff for the second time this season in Central Michigan’s 31-13 loss Friday against Navy. CMU went three–and– out late in the third quarter after the Midshipmen took a 31–13 lead, which led to the switch. “We were trying to get a spark,” head coach Dan Enos said. “We hit a lull there on two offensive possessions, and we wanted to play Cody. He practices very well, and he gets better every week. And he went in there and wouldn’t set his feet and throw the ball a couple times either, so we’ll go back and look at the video of what he did, too.” Kater completed his first throw, finding running back Tim Phillips on a short swing pass for a four-yard gain. But on his second play, he failed to get the snap on time, and CMU was called for delay of game. On third–and–four, Kater rolled out to his right, but his pass was nearly intercepted by linebacker Brye French, and the Chippewas were forced to punt. During his second drive, CMU had to call a timeout before the first play. Then, on third–and–five, his offensive line gave him time, but the sophomore was unable to find an open receiver, getting sacked for a loss of six. Once again, the Chippewas were forced to punt. Enos said the lack of offense was the main difference between Friday’s game and the 38–37 loss to Navy in 2010. “Our defense played much better, but offensively, we did not execute like we did two years ago,” he said. “The reason we and a defense that allowed too many big plays. As usual, the student section was practically empty by the end of the third quarter, and if performances like this continue, it’s hard to blame them.

Win streak snapped in MAC leader matchup By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter
The volleyball team’s six–match winning streak came to an end Saturday night when it lost to Bowling Green in a match between two Mid-American Conference leaders. The MAC West leading Central Michigan dropped a five-set match to the MAC East-leading Falcons. CMU got out to a 7-2 lead in the final set, but the Falcons went on to a 13-4 run to take the set and the match. “We were good enough to get the win tonight,” head coach Erik Olson said. “We were up 7-2, and we sided out at 35 percent, and that’s the worst in a while.” The Chippewas were able to hold BGSU to a .152 hitting percentage with 77 digs while being held to a .160 hitting percentage. “There were two good teams getting after it tonight, and we knew going into it that it was going to be a good
Check out a photo gallery of Saturday night’s game on cm-life.com match,” senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude said. “We didn’t get the outcome we wanted, but we were fired up for the match.” CMU used an aggressive serving approach in its six– match winning streak, but it hurt them Saturday with 17 service errors. “(The service errors are) why we lost set one,” Olson said. “Single handedly, I put that right there.” The Chippewas went on to win set two 25-21 and forced a pivotal fifth set with a 25-23 win in set four before dropping the final set to the Falcons. The Chippewas were able to extend their winning streak Thursday night against Miami (Ohio) in a four-set match. But Olson feels his team has been grinding through
the past few weeks, and that’s not what he prefers with his team. “I don’t want to be grinding; that’s not our process,” Olson said. “I want us to work on becoming a smoother (team), and I want each player to come in and do what they’ve been trained to do.” CMU is now at the halfway point of MAC play and sits in first in the MAC West at 12-7, including a 6-2 record in conference play. Despite being atop the conference, Olson said he would like to see his team improve. “I like that we’re 6-2; I don’t think we’ve ever been that at this point of the season,” he said. “But I’m not satisfied with where we’re at, and we’ve trended down.” sports@cm-life.com
Willie Randolph dissatisfied with men’s team despite season and career–bests By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter
Career and season–best times were in the hands of some members of the Central Michigan men’s cross-country teams Saturday morning at Pre–Nationals in Lousiville, Ky. Director of cross-country Willie Randolph said the season–best finishes were great but only when the team as a whole succeeds. “Having season bests is only good when you have accomplished your season goals,” Randolph said. “We’re not excited about it at all, because we have to be able to execute our overall game plan, and we didn’t do that. We’re not excited about our personal records at all. As a coach, there is always room for improvement.” The men’s team finished 29 of 40 teams in their 8k redseeded race, which was loaded with eight ranked teams. “The men’s team needs some work,” Randolph said. “There
FIELD HOCKEY | CONTINUED FROM 1B Junior Bailey McKeon had the first goal of the game in the 10th minute, scoring her second goal in her last two games. “Up to that point, we were really pushing the ball,” McKeon said. “From there, we really played well as a team. Actually, I thought we were going to come out with a win in that one, because we played very well in the first half.” Sophomore Cayleigh Immelman added a goal in the 25th minute to retake the lead, after Indiana scored four minutes prior. The Chippewas play at the CMU Field Hockey Complex for the rest of the regular season, starting with Ohio Friday and Michigan State Sunday. The team hosts Kent State and Michigan in the last weekend of the season. sports@cm-life.com
were two different sides of the story this week between the two teams.” CMU finished second among Mid–American Conference schools (698 points). Sophomore Kyle Stacks led the way for the men’s team with a 74th place finish and a career–best time of 24:15.5. He was the 14th Kyle Stacks fastest sophomores, in the race. Junior Nathan Huff beat his season best by more than a minute and his career–best by four seconds with a time of 24:55.5. He finished third for CMU and 157th overall. Sophomore Ethan Lievense ran a season–best by more than a minute and a career–best by 22 seconds with a time of 24:57.2 to finish fourth for CMU and 159th overall. Sophomore Nate Ghena ran
a career–best 25:03, finishing 172nd overall. With only two weeks until the MAC Championships, Randolph said the mental aspect is all that’s left to improve. “The mental aspect is all that’s left to improve, and it will be fixed,” Randolph said. “The competitive aspect for both teams needs to improve so we can keep moving in the right direction. The training aspect will speak for itself, but we need to get the mind to compete and do the things that make the body follow, which will be the main focus over the next two weeks.” No. 7 Colorado won the men’s race with 72 points, and UTEP freshman Anthony Rotich finished first overall in the men’s 8k red-seeded race with a time of 23:01. CMU will have a week to rest before heading to Buffalo, N.Y. for the MAC Championships on Oct. 27. sports@cm-life.com
Krista Parks was one of the many Central Michigan women’s cross-country runners to record season–best times Saturday at Pre-Nationals in Louisville, Ky. The junior finished 11th overall and first for CMU with a season–best 21:40.8. Krista Parks Randolph said he was more impressed with the women’s team than the men’s this week. “The women ran really competitive. We’re more pleased with their results, and we’re much closer to their goals than the men,” Randolph said. “... there are mixed emotions as a coach.” The women’s team finished sixth in a field of 27 for the 6k black–unseeded race. Senior Maddie Ribant ran a season–best time of 22:07.1 to finish second for CMU and 38th overall, though she said she still wants to see the team work on their
FOOTBALL | CONTINUED FROM 1B The Midshipmen were five for five on fourth downs. “If you can get that team in third–and–five, that’s third–and–long,” Enos said. “They choke you; they eat the clock up, and they make you feel like you need to score on every possession.” Junior running back Zurlon Tipton had 11 carries for 55 yards. Davis caught two passes for 48 yards and a touchdown. The sophomore wideout has five touchdowns in four games. Senior linebacker Shamari Benton and sophomore linebacker Justin Cherocci each recorded 14 tackles for CMU. “We have to look at these next games one at a time,” Enos said. “We’re good enough to win any of them, but we can lose any of them. We have to play, execute and play with great effort.” The Chippewas (2-4) host Ball State at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. sports@cm-life.com
“The women ran really competitive. We’re more pleased with their results, and we’re much closer to their goals than the men.” Willie Randolph, Director of cross country consistency as a group. “I felt that I focused more on being competitive and was able to push through the pain better than in the past,” she said. “We need to work on having that one consistent race as a group. We work great running together as a group in practice; we just need to transfer that over to the race.” Following Ribant was senior Veronica Garcia, who ran a season–best time of 22:24.8, finishing third for CMU and 57th overall. Redshirt freshman Alyssa Dyer finished in 22:36.4, which was her career best and enough to finish 77th. Another career–best time was turned in by freshman Kelly Schubert, who finished in 22:47.2 and placed 90th overall. Freshman Bailey Parmelee rounded out the scoring lineup for CMU with an 83rd place finish in 22:41.6.
There are only two weeks until the MAC Championships. “The mental aspect is all that’s left to improve, and it will be fixed,” Randolph said. “ The competitive aspect for both teams needs to improve so we can keep moving in the right direction. The training aspect will speak for itself, but we need to get the mind to compete and do the things that make the body follow, which will be the main focus over the next two weeks.” Utah Valley placed first among the women’s team with 154 points, while South Carolina freshman Kayla Lampe won the women’s unseeded 6k black race with a time of 21:03.5. CMU will have the next week off before heading to Buffalo, N.Y., for the MAC Championships on Oct. 27. sports@cm-life.com

Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
What we learned from the first half of the season
1) Central Michigan will not be winning its division. I know the Chippewas have only played two Mid-American Conference games, but the West Division is already out of reach. Toledo (4-0) and Northern Illinois (3-0) both have a commanding lead, and it will be even tougher to catch up considering CMU already lost to both schools. 2) This team has great potential but can also look lost. Head coach Dan Enos said it best after the Navy game: “This team is good enough to beat any team left on the schedule and good enough to lose to any team left.” That is absolutely true, partially because the remaining schedule is full of mediocre
this season. Davis has found himself wide open several times after putting moves on safeties and corners for big gains. He has five touchdowns in the past four games, and take away a drop or two, and he might have had more. Wilson consistently “moves those chains” for the CMU offense. He has an incredible knack for finding the soft spot in the defense right past the first–down line for a reception. Sophomores Deon Butler and Courtney Williams have shown the ability to make big catches and shake defenders after the catch. Radcliff has several lethal weapons at his disposal: he needs to take advantage of that.
teams. But this team has also showed it can play up against good teams. Obviously, winning at Iowa City showed the potential, as did going into halftime at Toledo with the lead. At that same point, this team has looked awful at times. The CMU offense against Navy was nowhere to be found the second half — when they actually had the ball. Quarterback Ryan Radcliff looked masterful against Iowa and then threw two interceptions for touchdowns against Toledo to seal the CMU’s fate. 3) Titus Davis, Cody Wilson and the wide receivers are legit. Hopefully fans are enjoying the NFL talent at wide receiver
CLASSIFIEDS
4) The offense has pressure to score. This is a combination of the defense struggling with young players and just the state of the MAC with shootouts every week. The defense has allowed 39 points a game, and, while the Chippewas have faced the most explosive offenses on their schedule already, that is still a lot. When offenses are putting up those points, it has to put pressure on the offense to score every possession. CMU will need to tally upwards of 30 or 40 points to be able to be successful the rest of the season. 5) There are still plenty of goals within reach. Last year, at the midway part of the season, CMU lost
to its rival Western Michigan and had a grim outlook to a bowl game with such a difficult remaining schedule. This year, CMU still has a huge game against WMU and could win the Michigan MAC Trophy for best record against EMU and WMU. Ultimately, though, a bowl berth could still happen. CMU really needs to play consistently up to its potential—something they have not shown. With Akron (1–6), Massachusetts (0–6) and EMU (0–6) still on the schedule, it is very promising. Beating the three six – loss teams and one solid team would make CMU bowl-eligible at six wins.
