Program Board loses more than $26,000 on comedy act By Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com

A total of $37,500 was spent by Program Board to bring comedian Nick Swardson to campus for his Sept. 25 show in Plachta Auditorium. An additional $5,000 was spent on his support act, Ashley Barnhill. Selling 1,042 tickets for a total of $16,400 in revenue, the concert was shy of selling out the auditorium by 184 seats. Although a $26,100 deficit was taken on by Program Board, paid out of their $295,000 budget, Director of Student Activities and Involvement Damon Brown said success is not measured in terms of money made, but student enjoyment. “(Losing money) on these shows is pretty standard. Our vision and goal as an organization is not to make money off of students,” Brown said. “We’re provided our

funding through the Campus Programming Fund because students have already paid into that fund (through tuition), so our goal is to bring concerts, comedians and other shows to campus at low or no cost to students.” Tickets for students were sold at $20, $17 and $12 with the more expensive tickets being closer to the stage. The concert was originally planned to be in McGuirk Arena, but was moved to Plachta, downsizing the crew to eight or nine people working lights, sound, backstage and doors. This reduction in both seating and crew size brought the costs of producing the show from an additional $25,000 to just $4,500. Brown said the only show which Program Board has profited from in his eight years as director of Student Activities and Involvement was T-Pain in 2007. “(Program Board) goes into shows thinking, ‘What’s a reasonable amount to be willing to subsidize?’” Brown said. “We never go in

with the intention of making money off of our students, because we know (CMU) students just aren’t going to pay past a certain level. It becomes really tough for students to make commitments to those types of shows once tickets pass $20.” Program Board attempted to bring Swardson to campus three years ago. Due to a scheduling conflict, in which Swardson was appearing in a movie, the show had to be cancelled. This time around, Swardson requested in his contract an “adequate quantity of soda, diet soda, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, etc., full bar set up with complete snacks and sandwiches,” for his dressing room, along with a “full-length mirror for exclusive use of (the) artist.” A “one bedroom suite at a deluxe hotel” for at least two nights was also requested, along with a limousine for his own personal use “to and from airport,” and “between hotel

and venue.” His first-class, round-trip airfare arrangements were made by his agency, with reimbursements and pick up from the airport paid for by the university. Requests like this aren’t unusual, Brown said. The university works in partner with the artist’s agent to meet most of the items listed. “You always hear those crazy stories of an artist wanting something like M&M’s in (their dressing room) but no green ones — luckily we haven’t come across any of that,” he said. “We haven’t really had any strange (requests) like that.” In rare instances, Program Board will refuseto meet requests made in a contract. Alcohol and condoms fall under just some of the things Program Board would not supply for an artist if asked. Program Board is planning for its spring concert line up. A finalized list is set to be released in November.

Uncle john’s resumes selling cider after E. Coli testing A consumer advisory was issued Tuesday for Uncle John’s Old Fashioned Apple Cider, produced by Uncle John’s Cider Mill in St. Johns. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development found certain batches of cider have the potential to be contaminated with Shigatoxin, which produces E. Coli bacteria. Those who have purchased cider from Uncle John’s are urged not to drink it, and dispose of it immediately. The advisory said about 1,200 gallons of cider produced on Oct. 17 could be affected. The cider was sold at the cider mill from the retail cooler, packaged in various-sized plastic jugs will a “sell by” date of Oct. 30, 2015. It was also served directly to customers by cup as cold

cider, frozen slushies and hot cider from Oct. 18-21. Yesterday, on the cider mill’s Facebook page, owners announced its most recent batches have tested negative for E. Coli. The mill has resumed selling cider. The positive test results were the first in more than 40 years of service, said Uncle John’s Cider Mill president Mike Beck. To make sure it’s not a problem again, sample testing of batches will no longer be random, but consistent instead. “We are doing testing of all batches of cider from here,” he said. “Other than that, you can see our pressing area, which we keep very clean. We have one of the cleanest systems in America, quite frankly. We are going to do consistent checks. We will change the frequency

with every batch of cider, though in 25 years of random sampling, we’ve never had this before.” The findings came out of a routine sample collected by the Department of Agriculture food inspector. No illnesses have been reported so far, and the cider mill has voluntarily stopped selling cider while waiting for more test results. E. Coli symptoms vary between individuals, but often include stomach cramps and vomiting. Around 5 percent of those diagnosed with Shiga-toxin producing E. Coli develop potentially life-threatening complications. - Sydney Smith and Brianne Twiddy Managing Editor | Staff Reporter

For the first time since 2003, the Chippewas were named the No. 1 team in the Mid-American Conference Preseason Poll. CMU and fourth-year head coach Keno Davis received 23 first-place nods in the poll, voted on by media representatives from each member school. A total of 15 voters picked CMU to win the conference tournament championship next spring. CMU lost to Buffalo in last year’s MAC Championship Game and earned a bid to the National Invitation Tournament after finishing the season 23-9 overall and a conference-best 16-1 at home. The Chippewas return all five starters from a season ago, including senior point guard Chris Fowler who was last year’s runner up MAC Player of the Year. The Chippewas open the season against Jacksonville State at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13 in McGuirk Arena.

Minority religions, like modern-day Witchcraft, celebrate sacred holidays at the end of October

Most are unaware there is a community within Central Michigan University that identifies as Witches year-round. The end of October is a sacred time for many religions, specifically those who practice Witchcraft. Their holy day, Samhain, the traditional Celtic holiday focused on the end of the harvest, falls on Halloween. Practicing Witchcraft as either a Witch or Wiccan usually falls under the umbrella of Paganism, explained religion professor Dr. Laurel Zwissler. Paganism is usually classified as the practice of reviving ancient religions in conjunction with a spiritual appreciation for the earth. “There are so many misunderstandings about what Witchcraft as a religion is, it makes sense to me that a lot of people would choose to be a little more private about their beliefs,” Zwissler said. “I do know there is a Pagan presence on campus.” The population of people who practice Witchcraft is difficult to track, mostly because of the stigma attached to the minority religion, and lack of brick and mortar places of worship, Zwissler said. In popular culture Witches are typically portrayed as cartoon characters and are demonized. The fictitious myth of a Witch that exists in the media does not reflect people who actually practice the religion, but is still associated with them. That does not stop some, however, from practicing their religion despite negative backlash and lack of religious diversity on campus. Roze Bentley has identified as a Witch for 20 years. The Mount Pleasant student is studying religion and said she instantly found a community within a registered student organization formed for religious diversity, Open Grove Society, at CMU. The group was very welcoming, though she is disappointed they are less active this year, she said. “A lot of people have a very negative, visceral reaction to the word ‘Witch,’” Bentley said. “There’s a stereotype of a harmful person, and really the religion is completely the opposite of that.”

Witchcraft practices have deep roots in feminism, and have self-care as a central message to the faith. “I think the reason we still claim that title is because we’re willing to identify with the least of us,” Bentley said. Bentley said reclaiming the stereotype is an act of empowerment, and taking a stand against stereotypes. That is one of the reasons she dresses up as a “stereotypical” witch for Halloween. “It’s sort of symbol reclaiming,” Bentley said. “The whole idea of when we gather together and use those symbols, it’s to set the space apart.” Reviving and practicing historic, ancient religions is a big part of being Pagan. “It is a mish-mash of different traditions pulling all together and saying, ‘OK, we want to preserve some of this (over this) other overwhelming perspective,’ so in that way it is sort of an underdog faith,” she said.

Bentley said she is cautious of cultural appropriation in her own practices, especially when exploring religions in cultures that are still being practiced today. “While I really love to celebrate Day of the Dead, I try to be a little more careful about it because I’m not actually Mexican, I just grew up around it,” she said. Bentley said because of the stigma attached to being Pagan, Witch or Wiccan, practicing these minority religions involves a sort of “coming out” to family and friends about one’s spiritual identity.

Witchcraft GLOSSARY Samhain

A Celtic holiday recognized by modern Pagans that signifies the end of the summer. It is a time when the veil between the world of the living and dead is the thinnest, so it is considered a good time for mystical practice, connection to the earth, gods and to those who have passed.

Wheel of the year The annual cycle of seasonal festivals, observed by many modern Pagans. It marks equinoxes and solstices and the midpoints in between.

Wicca/Witch Two different religious sects of modern Witchcraft, founded in England in the mid 20th century, with origins in pre-Christian Pagan religions.

Paganism Pagans may be trained in particular traditions or they may follow their own inspiration for their spiritual practices, which are natureoriented. *Not all Witches are Wiccan, but Wiccans see Wicca as part of Witchcraft. The DogmaFree Society is a registered student organization on campus that promotes religious diversity, focusing on Atheism. “We’re definitely interested in being able to promote freedom of religion and from religion,” said vice president Kaylie Johnson. “Every student should be able to practice whatever they want without facing stigmas.” Johnson said she has heard of people practicing Witchcraft, and knows there is a bad stigma usually attached to identifying as a Witch or Wiccan. “I don’t think people should judge or base their ideas of what Wiccans are from what is portrayed in the media,” she said. “People should cherish their diversity by being out about it if it’s safe.”

Johnson said she also faces stigmas for being nonreligious as well. “If people assume everyone is the mainstream religion of Christianity, it’s like we don’t exist,” she said. Bentley explained some of the stigmas attached to witches are that they are “drawn to evil things” have derived from movies and pop culture. “I think the biggest area of (negative) stereotypes is that witches are drawn to dark archetypes,” Bentley said. “We believe really strongly in balance and that you have to have the dark to have the light. A fair number of us have seen some dark things in our lives, and in some ways that brings comfort.” Witchcraft was formed in medieval times when Christian leaders lumped together all non-Christian religions and called them “Witchcraft.” The movement of reviving the traditions of folklore is practiced today by contemporary witches like Bentley. “There is no coherent witchcraft tradition, there was never anything like that, there were different

people in different places who did stuff that wasn’t Christianity,” Zwissler said. “The language that the church developed for all of those things that weren’t Christianity — they gave it a single name and they call it Witchcraft.” In terms of diversity of religions represented on CMU’s campus, Zwissler thinks there is room for improvement. “Mount Pleasant has many churches, but not a lot of other kinds of religious places (of worship),” Zwissler said. “This means that as a community, we are missing out on a lot of what goes on because there is not a lot of public space for people to talk about what is important for them if it’s not mainstream Christianity.” Canton senior David Nymberb is a member of St. Mary’s University Parish. He said religious diversity on campus is a good thing because of the w Reviving | 8, 11

Tribe celebrates Halloween with unique traditions By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter @jasteralaina | news@cm-life.com

While Halloween is a highly celebrated holiday, students may not think about other cultures and how the modern celebration can have an affect on them. Hannahville junior Hannah Bartol is part of the Potawatomi tribe in her hometown. For her, Halloween is nothing to celebrate. Instead it’s a stab at a culture that she knows and loves. Rather than dressing up as a character or some costume, her family has a different way of celebrating the holiday. “Some of the things my family celebrates at this time include something called a ‘Ghost Feast’,” Bartol said. “You make traditional foods and have a big feast with your family. You feed all the family members that have passed, so if I were to go home, I would have a big feast and we would offer food to my grandparents or other family members. There isn’t any dressing up in masks and dancing around a fire like it’s seen in movies. It’s more of a private thing you do with your family.” Bartol also stressed that every tribe is different in how they celebrate the holidays. Michigan celebration can be very different from how someone would celebrate in California, Washington or Arizona. “I don’t think dressing up (as a Native American) for Halloween is right,” Bartol said. “My culture is not a costume, or anyone’s culture for that matter. If the tables were turned, there would be a lot more criticism and spotlight on it. But since we’re a minority culture, they don’t care. I went to a Halloween store the other day and they called one of the costumes a ‘buckskin princess.’ That’s not okay.” There are some things that are done on certain reservations to celebrate the holiday. In the Hannahville Potawatomi tribe, youth

services puts on activities such as a potluck or feast. On the Saginaw Chippewa Reservation in Mount Pleasant, there are plenty of activities, including a “Trunk or Treat” for the children. On Friday, Oct. 23 the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe held a special event for the kids and families at the Pow wow Campgrounds.

The “Haunt on the Hill” included trick-or-treating, multiple costume contests, a haunted tunnel and fear factor. “We’ve been doing Halloween celebrations like this for the last four to five years, but it’s fairly new,” said tribe member Alice Jo Ricketts. “My family doesn’t personally celebrate the holiday

besides taking the kids trick-ortreating and helping out with events like these. I usually help coordinate it, but this year I got to do the ‘trunk or treat’ part of it.” Trunks of cars were decorated for Halloween and children of all ages collected candy. Participants were asked to bring a bag of candy to donate. Everyone

was dressed up as characters from movies, ghosts, ghouls and witches. Some of the trunks went all out, decorating with webs, spiders, orange lights and haystacks. Tribal police officer Matt Gibson was the first trunk passing out candy when the kids entered the circle. It is his first year working for the reservation, but he was happy to be able to get out in the community and interact with everyone in attendance. A fear factor event was full of themed eating competitions. The kids version consisted of three challenges: a bowl of worms with a skeleton hidden inside, two marshmallows covered in mustard to be eaten, and a bowl of crickets with an apple inside that had to be dug out with their mouths. A haunted tunnel, featuring dark shadows and heavy fog, was a popular attraction. The tunnel has evolved over the years from a small attraction to a 60-foot tunnel that ended near the edge of the woods. Receptionist for housing staff and tribe member Betsy Weekley worked the door of the tunnel and her family helped by volunteering as scarers.

“It’s really neat to see families come out and spend time together,” Weekley said. “We welcome everyone and we stand behind our community. Haunt on the Hill is really neat because we have different levels of events for different age groups so everyone can be involved. The tribe is really about community.” Youth LEAD Organized Sports Specialist and tribe member Luke Sprague said while celebrating culture around Halloween time is important, tribe members also participate in the more commercial aspects of the holiday as well. “We celebrate Halloween just like any non-Native American culture, nothing is really different,” Sprague said. “We usually go uptown and trick-or-treat in the suburbs because there isn’t a whole lot of it on the reservation anymore on actual Halloween. Overall, there isn’t anything special we do besides the Haunt on the Hill, but it’s all about the kids and if they’re having a blast out there.”

Theatre students get ready to do the ‘Time Warp’ again By Greta Ginter Staff Reporter @mommaocelot | news@cm-life.com

Risqué musical theatre entertainment can be found in the production of “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” put on by Central Michigan University theatre students this Halloween weekend. For Owosso junior Kailey Grubb, it will be her first time taking part in the performance. She is playing Magenta, a housemaid for the mysterious Dr. Frank N. Furter. “It’s my junior year and I don’t want to leave here with any ‘what if ’s,’” Grubb said. “I just thought, ‘You know what? It’s a little out of my comfort zone, but I’m going to try it.’” This Thursday, Friday and Sat-

urday, Alpha Psi Omega fraternity will be putting on twice-nightly performances of the cult classic at the Broadway theater. Shows will be at 8 p.m. and midnight, and Thursday’s midnight performance will feature a gender-bent cast — women playing men’s roles and men dressing in drag and cast in female roles. Along with audience members who have never seen the show before — commonly referred to as ‘Rocky Horror virgins’ — Grubb might not be the only one out of her comfort zone. “My favorite part is watching my friends come out to the show — especially if they’re ‘Rocky virgins’ — not knowing what they’re getting involved in, and just having a blast,” said Dewitt

senior Kaitlyn Riel, who will also be a part of the production. For the gender-bent show, Riel will be playing Brad Majors, the straight-laced main character, as well as the role of Columbia, who is a groupie living in Dr. Frank N. Furter’s mansion. Audience participation is also a big part of the Rocky experience — there are cues throughout the movie to toss certain items, such as rice for the wedding scene and toast when Dr. Frank N. Furter raises his glass and says, “A toast.” Prop bags will be available for purchase at the door for $1. “The fact that everyone is there having fun, dressing ridiculously, throwing rice and toast and screaming callouts is

hilarious,” Riel said. “The fact that people experience it for the first time and love it and come back again is the best part.” The original film premiered in America at a Los Angeles Westwood Theater in 1975 and was initially deemed a failure. However, it gained popularity after a midnight showing at the Waverly Theater the next year. It

continues to be shown in theaters nationwide 40 years later. Katrina Thennes, a senior from Garden, and head of the committee in charge of organizing the show, has been working on the production since September. “There are people who come from all over to see the show,” Thennes said. “I’ve been told that we put on a really good,

polished shadow cast.” Proceeds will go to the philanthropies supported by Alpha Psi Omega, including It Gets Better Project, which is a foundation that helps LGBTQ youth, and The Fourth Wall, a special needs theatre program in Midland. Tickets cost $10.50 and can be purchased at the door at the time of the show. Seating is limited.

exchange of different ideas it allows. “Of course minority religions are welcome,” Nymberb said. “Neither campus nor the Catholic church is exclusive.” He said if the topic came up and a witch was willing to have a civil conversation about their religion, he would be willing to talk it through with them. “We’ve been taught to be as understanding as we can, but not to the extent where we compromise our own beliefs,” Nymberb said. “Our goal would be to explain our side. If they can agree with that, that’s great, but if not, we’ll leave it there. We won’t try to force the issue or anything like that.” Bentley celebrates Samhain with other Pagans by performing a ritual where they each name the deities and ancestors they plan on honoring. The witches form an altar in memorial for them. They also take part in a potluck dinner where they try to bring favorite recipes of their family members who have passed on. There are eight major holidays most witches recognize and some choose to celebrate with a community of Wiccan or Witches. Most Pagans use the Celtic Wheel of the Year, which marks holidays on the equinoxes, solstices and the

midpoints between them. The holidays will often match up with holidays on the American calendar, like with Samhain and Halloween, and Yule and Christmas. “It’s not untrue that we do spells,” Bentley said. “Spellwork is generally aimed at the person performing the spell.” She said there is such a thing as negative spells, or hexes, but most Witches will never use them, because it is the same as self-harming — putting negative energy into the world that will also effect the spell caster negatively. Zwissler explained spells as setting goals. “A spell is a fancy way of saying they put mental energy into imagining the world in a way that they want it to be,” Zwissler said. “If you imagine your problem already solved, then you can shift your own attitude and attitudes of the people around you to help make that real.” In terms of day-to-day-practice, Bentley has a meditation space in her home. She also journals, and said it is a way to find personal power. Keeping records of thoughts and meditation is important in Witchcraft, Bentley said. Some call journals their “Book of Shadows.” Courses related to Witchcraft being offered next fall include REL: 302 Witchcraft, Magic and the Occult and REL: 303 Goddesses.

Four Frightening tracks for your 2015 Halloween Playlist Jordyn Hermani News editor

No party can be complete without a soundtrack. This Halloween, make sure you download some of the hottest Halloween tracks, old and new, to really make your hair stand on end.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s “The Time Warp” You can’t mess with the classics. This song comes from the hit movie-musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” following the adventures of newlyweds Brad and Janet as after they break down on the side of the road. While it’s not what would constitute as a banger, it’s one of those songs that you can’t really get tired of and need to hear at least once a year. Like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas is You.”

Dead Man’s Bones’ “In the Room Where You Sleep” If you’ve seen James Wan’s 2013 hit The Conjuring, you’ll probably recognize this song. Complete with organs, a kid’s choir and a muffled drum beat, you definitely get that feel of being stuck in a haunted house with a really killer DJ. Funnily enough, this band is actor Ryan Gosling’s pet project. he provides not just the vocals to this song, but the electric and bass guitar. And you thought you were talented.

Micha el Jackson’s “Thriller” Speaking of classics, it would be a sin not to include Michael Jackson’s hit “Thriller” to any Halloween playlist. Although the majority of people at your party probably don’t even know the dance, you can all still get down to this song because after a few beers — you’re all going to be moving like zombies anyway. He’s called the king of pop for a reason, people.

Living Tombstone’s Remix of “Spooky Scary Skeletons” Just like how you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, don’t judge this song by its title. While it’s a remix of a Halloween song from 1996, the remix has completely cleared off the cobwebs of time from this track and attached a great bass beat to it. It’s the perfect mix for getting down and spooky on Halloween night.

Films to spook you into the Halloween spirit Rudi Parker Multimedia coordinator

The hosts of Central Michigan Life’s podcast Horror Central chose their top five horror films that changed the genre for them. Plenty of these films spawned multiple sequels that were quite forgettable. Each had a huge impact in cinema history.

4) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) This 1920 film was one of the first horror films ever created. It is a German expressionist silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene. The set of the film features a dark and twisted visual style. Even though it is a silent film, the storytelling is topnotch. Also, the set helps create an eerie feeling to the film.

3) Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) A supernatural slasher horror film written and directed by Wes Craven. After Craven had a real life incident with an ominous fedora-donned stranger and read reports on people dying in their sleep in a newspaper, Freddy Krueger was born. The story is about a burned child murderer getting revenge on the kids of Elm Street after their parents killed him.

2) Halloween (1978) An independent slasher film directed and scored by John Carpenter. It’s another low budget film that did great in the box office and became a cult classic. It has a timeless story that still makes anyone feel uneasy. The killer can be anyone under the mask, which heightens the fear. Another reason for the success of this film was the moody music, particularly the main theme.

1) The Shining (1980) This may seem typical for number one, but it should be. It is a psychological horror film by Stanley Kubrick. The story is another timeless masterpiece. The killer can be anyone. The shot composition has been carefully planned out scene by scene. Even though Stephen King hates the film, you shouldn’t. It reflects on the reality that real horror comes from people and not the supernatural.

Invalidating others’ experiences halts social progress

recent survey of minority students and faculty revealed a significant number of people of color say they experience racism and discrimination on campus and in Mount Pleasant. Minority students make up a small number of the students attending Central Michigan University. Only 3,267 of 19,549 oncampus students identify as belonging to a minority group. Out of nearly 1,000 faculty members, only 190 identify as belonging to a minority group. According to the 2015 survey of minority students, nearly 50 percent said they have seen evidence of racism in Mount Pleasant. Another 40 percent said racism exists on campus. While the survey responses should give us concern, the personal accounts of your peers bring a real, honest perspective to these issues. In the days following our reporting, a growing conversation about the prejudice that exists in our community was met with sadness and outrage. Most telling, however, was the ignorance of these very real concerns. It is easy, even convenient, to assert that the negative experiences of the survey participants are isolated anecdotes. We encourage university and community residents to take these concerns seriously. Minority groups in Mount Pleasant are a present and vocal demographic that should not be ignored. We will continue to give voice to the issues that are brought forward. Because 84 percent of the student body

is white, microaggressions and institutional discrimination can come from students and professors who haven’t had much experience with other races and are unaware their actions or comments offend. Though society has become more progressive in acknowledging its unenlightened past, the fight against racism is not over, especially at our university. In 1993, men’s basketball coach Keith Dambrot was fired for using a racial slur in a halftime speech during a game against Miami University. Dambrot addressed his team — made up of 11 black players and three whites — stating that they needed to play harder, “like n----rs.” His comments resulted in on-campus protests. Dambrot was fired by the university because “public reaction to the incident had created an environment that makes it impossible for the university to conduct a viable basketball program under his leadership.” In 2007, a student found four nooses in a classroom in the Engineering and Technology Building, which led to a painstaking eightmonth federal investigation. The Isabella County Prosecutor filed no charges in the incident, but the damage caused by racist iconography had already been done. More recently, a 2012 study commissioned by the Isabella County Human Rights Committee showed systemic issues with racism, bias and harmful behavior between between Native Americans and others in the community. The surveys referenced Monday in Central Michigan Life were preceded by research conducted in 2007 and 2010. That research resulted in similar conclusions about the university having a hostile environment toward students of color. The anecdotes of faculty and students in the 2015 report are a reaffirmation of these facts. Ignoring the evidence does not solve the problem. Racism will not go away without reasonable and open-minded conversation. Don’t step on the personal experiences that

The costume shop that’s here all year!

On Oct. 31, 1990, Central Michigan Life reported on student magician Steve Mahlburg, or “The Amazing Lorenze.” The magician celebrated Halloween as “National Magic Day,” and the anniversary of Harry Houdini’s death. Mahlburg would regularly perform in a vampire’s costume, and had one act where he would stick a needle into his arm, but not bleed, and then drink some (fake) blood, so his arm would start gushing. He was quoted in Central Michigan Life’s story saying college students are the easiest demographic to fool with magic. Halloween has been celebrated through the ages, first documented around 1,000 B.C., when the Celts believed that on the night before their new year, which was then Nov. 1, the portal between the world of the living and the dead would open, allowing the dead to return to earth.

Nothing to Fear

Energetic defensive specialist looks to fire up teammates on and off the court By Greg Wickliffe Staff reporter | @GregWickliffe10 | sports@cm-life.com

Haley Barker goes by the nickname “Chucky,” but the persona she embodies is the opposite of the horror character she resembles. As a redshirt freshman defensive specialist on Central Michigan’s volleyball team, three of her former teammates gave Barker the nickname of “Chucky” because of her crazy hairstyle, and hysterical laugh that resembled the evil chuckle of the famous murder doll from the “Child’s Play” franchise. “I was on the bench, so I would cheer as loud as I possibly could. I have this really scary laugh that kind of sounds like the evil doll,” Barker said. “When you looked down the bench, I looked like I was going to kill you with excitement and cheering.” The senior defensive specialist also took on the nickname to escape any mistaken pronunciations of her first name. “I didn’t like being called ‘Hallie’ by mistake, so everyone was like ‘Well, let’s call you Chucky,’ and it just stuck real quick, and forever.” Associate Athletics Director for Corporate Sales and Marketing Nick Williams also works as the announcer at Chippewa volleyball games. Every time Barker enters the game, Williams introduces her in a comical tone yelling “Chucky, she’s back!” Williams didn’t find out about Barker’s nickname until last year, thanks to her coaches, but the unique introduction mixed with the nickname has taken on a life of its own.

Clarkston Senior Haley Barker, left, celebrates an ace against Akron with her teammates Friday Oct. 23 at McGuirk Arena.

“They told me to just call her Chucky because that’s what she responds to, and she was fine with it,” Williams said. “That’s how I refer to her, and she’s kind of taken on her own little persona for the team.” Not only does her laugh and hairstyle create the Chucky comparison, the redshirt senior defensive specialist stands at 5-foot-4, making her one of the shortest players on the team, furthermore fueling the resemblance. “At first, some people thought

it was rude, but I always embraced it,” Barker said. “It’s kind of like my persona on the court, just crazy little Chucky.” Unlike the doll from the film that is always out for blood, Barker uses her energy to pump up the team. “It’s energy, but in the opposite sense of the Chucky doll,” Barker said. “He’s more ready to kill, and I’m ready to pick people up and make them happy. The energy levels are both high, but in different directions.”

Even her teammates believe the nickname fits the Clarkston native’s personality. “She’s just a ball of energy,” said senior middle blocker Kalle Mulford. “Even if you see her walking to class, she’s just skipping, I swear. She’s a great person to be around, she just lifts your spirit up and it’s great.” The nickname is so common, other players on the roster don’t even mention Barker by her actual first name. “I don’t remember the last

time I called her Haley,” said sophomore defensive specialist Courtney Hiltibran. “She introduced herself as Chucky.” The “Child’s Play” doll is known for his relentless efforts of trying to transfer his soul into a human, and Barker is similar because she is relentlessly enthusiastic. “She’s such a little spitfire,” Hiltibran said. “I know that getting older, you slow down a little bit, but she just stays speeding up, it’s really cool to see that, and it’s

really inspiring.” So when Barker hears her nickname called during the game, it gives her confidence, and humors her when she steps on the court. “Honestly, it’s kind of like empowering to me,” Barker said. “I can’t help but try to hold back a smile because it makes me inside laugh all the time. I like it a lot. It makes me feel good (to hear it) going back to serve. I’ve never thought of it as silly, I’ve actually always really liked it.”

Akron win would give football momentum into bye week By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | news@cm-life.com

On Halloween, a date with Central Michigan is likely to conjure up some serious nightmares for the recently hapless Akron football team. The Chippewas (4-4, 3-1 in MAC) have won seven straight and 10 of the last 11 games against the Zips. CMU is attempting to extend its winning streak to three games and enter the bye week with momentum. Akron, meanwhile, did not play last week. The Zips will be the third team CMU has faced off a bye in four weeks. “Sometimes it can help you and sometimes it can hurt you,” said Head Coach John Bonamego. “I can’t do anything about it. In the long run, everything balances out.

This year it was our turn, next year it will be somebody else’s. I know it wasn’t done intentionally. It’s just the way things worked out.” Both of Akron’s losses this season have come against the top two teams in the Mid-American Conference East Division — Bowling Green and Ohio. CMU has defeated 10 consecutive MAC East teams, the latest instance was Week 7’s 51-14 dubbing of Buffalo. “We want to get a run going,” said senior defensive end Blake Serpa. “We really believe we just have to focus on being 1-0 this week and there is a lot of confidence out here we can do that.” CMU’s secondary, which struggled in last week’s 23-21 defeat of Ball State, will be matched up against Akron sophomore quarterback Tommy Woodson, who is at the helm of an offense that ranks second-to-last in the

MAC in pass offense. What Woodson lacks in pass efficiency, he makes up for on the ground. Woodson has rushed for 311 yards and two touchdowns

through seven games. Serpa and Mitch Stanitzek will need to keep Woodson contained on the edge. “You have to be a little more

cautious with your inside moves,” Serpa said. “If you get pinned in there, there is not much room to recuperate. It’ll be a good challenge.” In the days leading up to Saturday’s game, the Chippewas cited mental mistakes and undisciplined pre-snap errors as the reason last week’s win over BSU almost didn’t happen. CMU committed a season-high 10 penalties for 55 yards last week. After the game, Bonamego said he and his staff are closely monitoring which players are committing which fouls and are considering taking playing time away from multiple offenders. “You really have to look at the type of penalties they are,” Bonamego said. “You are not going to eliminate penalties from the game. You see NFL players jump offsides. The ones you want to minimize are the

concentration ones.” Bonamego chalked CMU’s recurring issues in the discipline department up to inexperience. “Sometimes you have to step back and look at the big picture,” Bonamego said. “I believe it’s a process. We really spend a lot of time talking about what you can do and can’t do. Sometimes it is a product of lack of experience.” CMU’s veteran quarterback Cooper Rush is likely to continue his unprecedented statistical outpouring against Akron’s weak secondary, which has given up an average of 251 yards per game and 14 touchdowns total. “The formula for winning never changes,” Bonamego said. “You have an opportunity after this game to rest your team a little bit. You’ll get a few days to get healthy and hopefully back to feeling right.”

rugby: a team of tough competitors

he Central Michigan University Rugby Rebels are a club sport, but relationships between teammates

are just as strong as any varsity team, said Ohio senior Ally “Sonic” Gryczewski. “I know that no matter what, we always have each others back,” she said. “We’re like the island of misfit toys. Everyone is super accepting and supportive.” The sport gives women an opportunity to

play a full contact club sport. This year, the Rebels will competed in the Mid-American Conference Women’s Rugby Conference against Ohio University, Ball State, Miami University, Kent State and Bowling Green State University. The Rebels finished their fall competitive schedule last weekend against Davenport University, ending the season with a 3-3 record. Ohio senior Ally “Sonic” Gryczewski prepares to catch the ball during pre-game in Toledo, Ohio on Oct. 11. “Sonic” started playing rugby her freshman year at Central Michigan. “It looked really interesting and different,” she said. “How often are you able to learn about a sport you’ve never heard of?”

“Sonic” high fives her teamate at a rugby practice on Sept. 9 at the Intramural sports fields.

Newport senior Nate Ghena runs down the track for a portrait during practice on Monday at the Indoor Athletic Complex.

By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter @Kullen_Logsdon | sports@cm-life.com

Senior Nate Ghena didn’t grow up running cross country. He didn’t even run his first race until his freshman year at Central Michigan. Ghena grew up playing soccer and hoped to find a school that would offer him a college scholarship. Midway through high school, his goal of earning a soccer scholarship became unrealistic. “My junior year I had a major knee injury and it kind of ruined my chances for college soccer,” he said. Ghena started running track in seventh grade to get in shape for soccer season. After his injury, he focused more on track and had a breakout year. From there, he constantly emailed college coaches to give him a shot. The only coach that got back with Ghena was CMU Head Coach Matt Kaczor. “Nate wasn’t the most talented guy coming out of high school, but I could tell he had heart and he wanted to be great,” Kaczor said.

Since getting his shot, Ghena hasn’t just met expectations, he’s demolished them. As a sophomore, he earned All-MidAmerican Conference honors after finishing fifth at the Spartan Invitational and seventh at the Notre Dame Invitational. As a junior, he placed seventh (25:06.8) at Pre-Nationals. And as a senior this year, he finished first (15:29.46) at the Jeff Drenth Memorial and has been named MAC corunner of the week twice. Ghena has finished first among Chippewa runners in his last 11 cross country races, dating back to 2013. “I wasn’t recruited out of high school, so I had to prove my worth,” Ghena said. “The better I got, the harder I worked to stay there. Now I’m running to prove a point to others that you don’t have to be some stud in high school to get somewhere.” Now that he is a senior, Ghena said he tries to help out the younger runners as much as he can. “He’s very hands on with us and how we do things,” said freshman runner Luke w ghena | 24

championship Kirsten olling GYMNAST TURNED RUNNER starts anew By Ryan Warriner Staff Reporter @WarrinerRyan | sports@cm-life.com

Most sixth-graders don’t start athletic programs at their middle school. Sophomore cross country runner Kirsten Olling is not most people. It all started with a botched back handspring in the fifth grade, which completely fractured the ulna and radius in her forearm. Olling participated in gymnastics for the majority of her life up until that point. As a result of the injury, Olling was nervous to return to gymnastics and looking for another outlet after her arm healed. It was Olling’s father who first introduced her to cross country. “He comes out into the living room with this butter container that is just full of cross country and track and field medals,” Olling said. “He was telling me all of the stories about all of them, and I was like, ‘This is pretty cool.’” Olling expressed her newfound interest in running to her gym teacher, who began to help train her. The next year, when Olling

was in sixth grade, she and her coach recruited some other runners, and together they started the Breckenridge Middle School Cross Country program. Since then, Olling never looked back on her rise to success during her high school career from 2010 to 2013, including being crowned Michigan State Division IV Cross Country Champion each of her four years and earning a spot on Team Michigan at the Midwest Meet of Champions in 2013. Her success continued in college as she was recruited by Arizona State, where she ran for one season. Olling participated in five races and placed 46th out of 230 runners at the NCAA West Regional 6K with a time of 21:18. After just a semester at ASU, Olling realized it was not the right fit. She reached out to Chippewa senior runner Kelly Schubert to get a sense of what cross country was like at Central Michigan after the Roy Griak Invitational in Minnesota, which both CMU and ASU participate in. Schubert, who hails from Manistee, knew Olling through high school cross country and various road races where the pair w Olling | 24

“Field hockey challenges me in all aspects of life. I’ve loved it from the start,” Reynolds said. “I started as a forward because I wanted to score. But then I got to middle school, and they asked who wanted to be goalkeeper and I volunteered. Ever since middle school, I knew I wanted to be a goalkeeper.” Standing between the goalposts, Reynolds said she sees the game from a different perspective than most. “Being a goalkeeper is definitely added pressure,” Reynolds said. “I love the pressure as an added adrenaline rush. I think being a goalie helps with the understanding of the game

because I can see a lot of things people don’t see. I think it’s exciting to see everyone succeed in front of me.” When the opponent scores on Reynolds, she quickly bounces back and focuses on the next play. “When you make a mistake as a goalkeeper, it’s usually fatal,” Reynolds said. “But you just have to keep in mind to move on and I immediately think, ‘Get the next one.’ After that, I ask myself what happened that the ball went in and thirdly I don’t let that mistake happen again.” When trying to decide what school to play Division I field hockey for, Reynolds found

Central Michigan to be the right choice. “I knew I wanted to play Division I field hockey,” she said. “I went online to search for Division I field hockey schools that had communication disorder majors, and CMU fell under that. I wanted to stay kind of close to home, so Central was a pretty good fit for me.” Reynolds is majoring in child development and double minoring in American Sign Language and communication disorders. “The plan right now is to go to graduate school for communication disorders and get my w Sadie | 23

speech therapy license,” Reynolds said. “I would like to work in a school system working with kids specially.” Reynolds has succeeded at CMU, receiving Second Team All-MAC honors and was awarded the 2015 Dick Enberg Scholar Athlete of the Year Award. She has a 3.34 GPA and has started for the Chippewas since her sophomore year. The annual award is presented to a student-athlete entering his or her senior season, carrying a 3.2 or better GPA along with being a team leader and having success in his or her sport. “She’s a wonderful person,” said Head Coach Molly Pelowski. “She does her very best in the classroom, on the field and in the community. She’s a great representative for CMU’s athletics and

a great asset for our program, and certainly one we’ll remember long after she’s gone.” Aside from on the field and in the classroom, Reynolds keeps herself busy in various groups. Reynolds is on the StudentAthlete Advisory Committee, one of the two representatives for the field hockey team and vice president for that committee as well. As her senior year comes to a close, Reynolds has accomplished great things in her career at CMU and said she will not forget the relationships she built along the way. “I’m going to miss the girls a lot, especially my class,” Reynolds said. “We’ve been playing with each other for four years, going through struggles together, seeing each other succeed, and together winning a MAC Championship. We’ve became a really good support system for each other.” Senior midfielder Kaysie

Gregory is one of seven seniors on the team, including Reynolds. “I would consider Sadie Lynn one of my good friends,” Gregory said. “We’ve spent the past four years together and I know if I needed her and she needed me, we would always have each other’s backs. Sadie will always be Sadie to me. She is that southern belle and has that goofy personality.” The season comes to an end Friday against Ball State in Muncie, Indiana. It will be the last game in Gregory and Reynolds’ Central Michigan career. “I’ll miss always having a support group and always having someone there,” Gregory said. “I will miss how hilarious every single one is in my class. We’ve been through our fair share of good times and bad times. When it comes down to it, we always have each others’ backs. If I ever needed someone, I can always turn to (one of the seniors).”

Anderson. “He’s very disciplined with how we act outside of practice, but also very comforting and supportive during practice. He doesn’t let anything fly.” Ghena is studying neuroscience and is applying for graduate school. He said he would love to stay at CMU, but will go wherever he has the best opportunity to succeed. Before continuing his education, Ghena will have at least two more chances to compete as a Chippewa, with the MAC Championships Saturday in Canton, Ohio and the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Nov. 13 in Madison, Wisconsin. If Ghena does well enough at the regional, he’ll have a chance to make the Nov. 21 NCAA Championships as an individual or with his team. Ghena, the same guy only one team gave a chance four years ago.

competed against each other. “She Facebook messaged me and asked how I like it here,” Shubert said. “I told her I loved it and asked her, ‘Why, are you thinking about transferring?’ and (Olling) said, ‘Yeah, I think I am.’” After coming to CMU in January 2015, Olling noticed considerable differences from her time at ASU. “I was at Arizona State and the girls there weren’t entirely what I expected,” Olling said. “The coach that I signed with actually ended up getting another job, so he left and then the girls’ attitudes completely changed. They were partying and drinking, and that’s not my style.” After one semester in Mount Pleasant, Olling said she fits in well. “The girls here (at Central Michigan) actually care about each other,” she said. “They actually want to work hard and they

all have the same goals, the same drive for the sport.” Head Coach Matt Kaczor believes that it was this sense of community that really drew Olling to Central Michigan as opposed to Michigan State, the other school the runner was looking at after deciding to transfer from ASU. “I think that’s what she was looking for, that family setting. We’re smaller, and she knew a lot of the ladies that were here,” Kaczor said. “She was very comfortable making the decision because of that.” So far this season, Olling has led the Chippewas in each of the races she has run. At the Jeff Drenth Memorial 5K on Sept. 4, Olling finished in second place overall with a time of 17:27. Olling ran a 22:37 and finished 40th at the Roy Griak Invitational 6K on Sept. 26. “(Olling) has really solidified our group and where we are going,” Kaczor said. “She has really helped move this group in the right direction and next phase of where we want to go in terms of trying to be a conference contender, trying to remain in

the top ten in the Great Lakes Region and trying to get to that next step of being a national qualifying team.” The Chippewas are ranked third in the MAC and 11th in the Great Lakes Region. As for personal goals, Olling said she hopes to make it to the NCAA Championships this year, and wants to break 21:00 for the 6K race. Her personal record is 21:11. Olling is majoring in dietetics and minoring in family studies, with hopes of becoming a pediatric nutritionist, specifically helping children and adolescents dealing with major diseases such as diabetes or cancer. “I’ve always been really fascinated with nutrition, because I have to monitor my own diet constantly, since as a runner, you do have to eat healthy. I’m used to doing that and I’ve learned to enjoy it,” Olling said. “I’ll watch documentaries on nutrition and dietetics, and working with kids is something I’ve always wanted to do. I do running clubs over the summer for little kids, so it really interests me to connect the two things I love the most.”
