SGA Diversity Committee to redesign annual Halloween campaign By Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com

In an effort to reach more students across campus, the Student Government Association’s Diversity Committee plans to redesign its yearly “We’re a Culture, NOT a Costume” campaign. With the new campaign “I am ___ not ___,” SGA hopes to combat not just racial and cultural stereotypes, but stereotypes about gender and sexuality as well. This will debut in the weeks before Halloween as a public service announcement to inform students about the campaign and sway individuals from wearing offensive costumes. “We want to attack the different stereotypes and I think making (the ‘I am __ not __’) statements is a very powerful way to say ‘yes I do come from this particular group of people but that doesn’t mean I am these stereotypes associated with it’,” said Head of Diversity Committee, Shayna Haynes-Heard. The aim of the old “We’re A Culture, Not a Costume” was to educate students who use blackface, dress as racial stereotypes or mock cultures through their Halloween attire. This year, “I am___ not ___”

hopes to include the issues of the old campaign, but broaden horizons to include costumes which may be perceived as offensive to the LGBTQ community. A video announcement is set to be produced in the near future though a finalized date has not been decided upon. “(The committee) wants to do both but we are currently unsure about the vendor providing the poster as things aren’t really finalized yet,” Haynes-Heard said. The idea for a video, rather than fliers, came from SGA Press Secretary Kyle Cortez. The change to include gender and sexuality came about at the Sept. 28 Diversity Committee meeting in which certain members expressed how costumes of transgender celebrities such as Caitlyn Jenner can be just as offensive as racist costumes. “(The new campaign) is good because the LGBT community is often times easy to overlook compared to the more racial side of (Halloween dress-up) culture,” said Petersberg sophomore, Jay Goodin. “It’s all about being a respectful person. No one is trying to censor anything. It’s just a good reminder that what you ware on Halloween, even as a joke, can send negative messages that some people really don’t need at all.” Chuck Mahone, president of SGA, said the change

in direction is a positive one and embodies what the organization stands for as a whole. “We are an organization that represents all students. Sexuality is a big topic right now and it’s an everyday reality for some students,” Mahone said. “The ‘Our

Culture is NOT a Costume’ campaign went very well. People recognize (the message) we’re trying to get across when they see it, but I think it’s time for us to progress. This is an area we can progress and represent more students.”

Nuisance party violations increase during Homecoming Weekend By Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

Students receiving nuisance party violations were the biggest source of homecoming citations this year. Mount Pleasant Police Officer Jeff Browne said this was because after receiving noise complaints, students weren’t letting police inside houses. Thirteen people were cited for attending a nuisance party, and 13 more were cited for hosting a nuisance party. In total, 122 people were cited or arrested this weekend. “Unfortunately this year we met some resistance,” Browne said. “We were going places and people weren’t working with us to resolve the issue, so everyone there received tickets. We had to secure search warrants.” Police responded to 87 calls for service on Friday night and 113 on Saturday, when Central Michigan University played Northern Illinois University. Last year, police responded to 429 calls. Eleven people were cited or arrested for open intoxication. Police gave out 16 minor in possession citations, compared to 27 last year. Browne said most problems police dealt with were CMU students, different from Welcome Weekend when police traditionally run into issues with students coming from out of town. Browne said these students feel that they have no responsibility for Mount Pleasant. “It wasn’t like Welcome Weekend,” he said. “Most of the people were people who are affiliated or formally attend Central.” With five extra officers on duty during the Homecoming tailgate and game, and five more on duty for the night shift, police wrote

five citations for disorderly conduct and five for disturbing the peace. One person was arrested for driving with a suspended license. Two were arrested for drunken driving, and one for possession of drugs. One person was arrested for violating probation. Browne said this year’s Homecoming wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for CMU. “The weather probably helped keep the foot traffic to a minimum,” he said. “We did have some, but not as many issues.”

Beyond awareness Members of CMU’s community share their stories dealing with breast cancer By Kate Carlson News Editor @k8erzz | news@cm-life.com

llie Lichtenstein clearly remembers when a friend asked her to help shave her head. She also remembers being there as her friend contemplated getting a double mastectomy. The Illinois senior was 19 when her sorority big, Stephanie Urbanawiz, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Urbanawiz lost her battle with the disease last March, just before she turned 30. “She was going to school to be a pediatric oncologist, because she wanted to help children with cancer,” Lichtenstein said. “She died from cancer right before she started her clinicals.” Lichtenstein said Stephanie kept going to classes through her treatment and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. “She’s a badass,” she said. “She went into remission and that was great. Then she told me in person at Homecoming two years ago that (the cancer) came back.” The rarity of breast cancer taking the life of someone so young shook Central Michigan University’s campus. Stephanie’s involvement in Greek Life especially affected her chapter and the rest of the community. “Obviously it hurts and breaks my heart every single day, but I know she would be the kind of person who would rather preach about awareness and give everybody all of the medical advice that she could, making sure that there is information for people our age,” Lichtenstein said. Lichtenstein said it is her honor to carry Stephanie’s legacy and she tries to say things her sorority big would have wanted people to know. She advocates for breast cancer awareness and

stressed the importance of knowing how to perform self exams and giving people basic education about the disease. “We can preach all day everyday about finding a cure. Until then, we need to know how to take care of ourselves,” Lichtenstein said. Pink ribbons passed out by student organizations will be worn by CMU students during October to raise awareness for the disease. Whether they donate money to research or not, many businesses have separate logos that incorporate the color pink during October to raise awareness for breast cancer. Between clothing lines and other pink merchandise, breast cancer road races and various volunteer and awareness opportunities, there are a plethora of ways to be involved during breast cancer awareness month. Being affected by the disease sometimes pushes people to be advocates, or makes them withdraw from the month that brings back memories of how breast cancer affected them or loved ones.

Survivor’s perspective Despite being a breast cancer survivor, Associate Professor of Marketing Crina Tarasi has distanced herself from the activities surrounding breast cancer awareness month. “In a way, I ignore it,” Tarasi said. “But I’m very grateful for the people who participate and offer their support. I don’t feel drawn to participate in it because for me the cancer was an awakening. It was in many ways a ‘Wake up and live life, don’t postpone the things you want to do.’” She found comfort in support groups when she had the disease, but now builds other communities through people who are like-minded, Tarasi said. The cancer was a wake up call, she said, and

Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com y OCT. 5, 2015 made her want to take advantage of opportunities and life her life to the fullest. She has since taken up dance classes, and has found an outlet there to express herself. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and one in 36 women will lose her life to the cancer, so the disease still affects students who might have a family member or a friend with the disease.

Missing premise Dr. Sandra Howell is an instructor at the College of Medicine at CMU, and has specialized in the treatment of benign and malignant breast diseases in the Mount Pleasant area for the past 15 years. Howell said there is a term in the medical community that she believes is being inconsistently used in medical literature and inappropriately in some research. The idea of “over diagnosis” has been gaining steam in the medical community in the treatment of various diseases. Studies have shown that encouraging screening and testing for breast cancer and diagnosing it in its early stages will not affect the survival rate of the person diagnosed, she said. “We’re seeing a lot of articles that jump from that conclusion, ‘If we diagnose this but it doesn’t affect survival, why are we trying so hard to diagnose it, and why do we treat it.’” Because people are focusing on the survival rate alone, Howell said they are leaving out a key premise: survival is not the only thing that matters when treating breast cancer. “Treating stage zero breast cancer and premalignant breast regions will allow a percentage of women with these conditions to potentially avoid major surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.” There are studies that suggest that the diagnosing of early-stage or premalignant breast conditions is unnecessary, calling the practice “over diagnosis.” These ideas are flawed because they do not discuss, or account for, quality of life issues. “We’ve gotten better and better at diagnosing (early stages of breast cancer) and removing it before it can become a cancer, and that has contributed to the decreasing incidents,” Howell said.

We can preach all day everyday about finding a cure, but until then, we need to know how to take care of ourselves. Allie Lichtenstein, Vernon Hills Ill. senior

Mammography rates have decreased, which Howell attributes to the idea of over diagnosis. Howell predicts the rate of breast cancer may increase as well if people aren’t properly being checked. Tarasi said she felt pressured into full treatment when she was diagnosed, even though she knew that was not the right option for her. Her view is that screenings that won’t affect survival rate instill unnecessary fear in people. Lichtenstein, on the other hand, said she would push for additional screenings.

“They tell us you don’t need a mammogram until you’re 35, but (Stephanie) would have never caught this then,” she said. Howell acknowledged that if screenings and treatment were handled incorrectly, it could potentially instill unnecessary fear in patients, but she said that accounts for a very small amount of cases. Howell, Tarasi and Lichtenstein had varying opinions on the topic of “over diagnosis,” but generally all came to the consensus that empowering women to educate themselves on the disease, their own risk factors and performing self examinations is the most important thing. “The amount of information we get about sexually transmitted illnesses, I think we should get the same amount of information about taking care of ourselves and warning signs of illnesses (like breast cancer and other forms of cancer),” Lichtenstein said.

for breast cancer, not money for funding of treatment and research because of how little it impacts college-age students, said Yale junior Maddi Klause. Klause’s mother fought breast cancer for four years before she passed away when she was 15. At CMU, Klause advocates for cancer awareness by being a member of CAC. Instead of raising money for breast cancer research specifically, CAC focuses on raising money for the American Cancer Association through Relay For Life. “Our money from Relay, we have to pay the Student Activities Center, so Relay is still a good thing to donate to but part of your money could be paying CMU, or could be paying one of the acts we have to

hire,” Klause said. “Go right to the source. As much as I don’t like to say that because I do Relay and I try to raise money, go right to the source — don’t give your money to me, donate to the ACA website instead.” She has donated to the breast cancer nonprofit, Susan G. Komen before, and liked how she could donate in memory of her mom. “When you look into where the money goes, it doesn’t all go to cancer research,” Klause said. “A lot of it goes to funding for their advertisements.” Focusing on smaller charities and “going right to the source” is one of the main things Klause does now before she donates. “I think it’s important to raise awareness, but a lot of it is the hype about the big name brand,” Lichtenstein said. “You can help more sometimes by reaching out to the little people. That’s where your impact is going to lie,” Tarasi also donated to Susan G.

Komen, before she realized her name had been added to an email list and her information had been solicited to other organizations. “From the point of view of nonprofits in general, they often capitalize on that goodwill of people and quite often they will pay a huge chunk — up to 80, 90, or 95 percent of what they can go towards other forprofit operations,” Tarasi said. Tarasi said doing a simple Google search is sometimes enough to see if a charity is credible or not, but the best way to know for sure is to get involved and donate time in addition to money. “If you’re going to look into where you’re going to buy a car, why not look into where you’re going to donate money to,” Klause said.

International Students promote cultural understanding By Paige Sheffield Staff reporter @paige_sheff | news@cm-life.com

International students wearing traditional clothing and waving flags from their home countries walked through campus and into downtown Mount Pleasant in the Homecoming parade Oct. 3. The International Student Organization organized this event, with representation from the Bangladeshi Student Association, Indian Student Association, Saudi Student Club and Chinese Students and Scholars Association. This was their first year participating. ISO President Jillur Rahim said one of ISO’s goals this year is to promote culture exchange and build bridges between international students

“I like dressing up, seeing people dress up and walking around town in this crazy cold weather.” Shaminul Shakib Bangladesh Senior

and American students. By participating in the parade and representing different cultures, the students aimed to celebrate the diversity at CMU, the graduate student said. “It’s a time to show our culture and invite everyone,” said graduate student Divya Teja Muvva, who is from India. This is her first year at CMU, and she said she is excited to get to know everyone from other countries. Senior Shaminul Shakib participated in the parade to present his country to others and to promote the recently formed

Bangladeshi Student Association. “(I like) dressing up, seeing people dress up and walking around town in this crazy cold weather,” he said. Vishwa Teja Reddy G, president of Indian Student Association, said he was excited to display his culture and partner with ISO to participate in the parade. The students wanted to not only show their pride for their cultures, Rahim said, but also show that they care about the things other students at CMU care about. “Everyone here is very excited,” Muvva said.

Spirit Photo essay and column by Samantha Madar

Staff Photographer

t is a fear unlike any other. In the spring of 2013 I found a lump in my left breast. In the following three months, doctors told me they did not know if it was cancer, but that I should be prepared for the worst. I was living a nightmare. After undergoing surgery in March 2013, the results came back as a fibroadenoma, a benign tumor. Despite the clean bill of health, I was hurting and full of anger because I had to face this situation. These emotions were too great for me to break away from on my own. As a photojournalist, I am passionate about sharing stories that can change the lives of others. I became determined to find someone who could show others, and myself, how to beat the negativity that comes with cancer. Virgina “Ginnie” Levin’s battle with cancer is one to memorialize. Ginnie, at the age of 29, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer Stage III in 2010. Despite a double mastectomy and lymph node dissection, she was deemed terminal in January 2013. The cancer spread to her liver, stomach and bones. Ginnie lived her life on her own terms. Before and after the diagnosis, she experienced more than most people could ever imagine. She joined the Marines Corps, went skydiving in Chicago, celebrated Mardi Gras in New Orleans and went white water kayaking in Washington D.C. w Spirit | 12-14 Ginnie Levin 34, of St. Louis, gets prepared for surgery at McLaren Central Michigan in Mount Pleasant, on Oct. 28, 2014.

Ginnie was not the only one in her family to face cancer, and had more reasons to be angry about her situation than anyone. In the summer of 2012, her grandmother and mother both lost battles to cancer. In April 2014, her father was diagnosed with cancer as well, but found it early enough to receive treatment. Even with so many cancer battles within the Levin family, one thing always remained clear: Family was the most important thing. Since Ginnie never had kids of her own, besides her dog Drake, she treated her seven nieces and nephews like her own. As her last wish, she hoped to take a trip to Disney World to make long-lasting memories for her family to remember her by. “I’ve learned that too many of us put things off that we want to do and then may never get to do them,” Ginnie said. “I had so many things I wanted to do, but I just kept saying ‘some day.’ For me that ‘some day’

almost never happened. So if there is something you want to do, you should do it. Make your life fun and exciting. Take those trips you’ve always wanted to take. Go skydiving. Whatever it is, do it because you never know. I’ve been blessed I was able to realize that and do those things that I wanted to do.” When I met Ginnie, I was so honored to be able to share her story, to help others facing cancer. Little did I know she would be saving me, as well. Ginnie lived a life full of love and adventure, despite the label “terminal” always following in her shadow. She taught me that there is no point in being angry, because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow. I never expected to have a cancer scare, but I did. Ginnie taught me many lessons that I will hold on for the rest of my life. I learned to be happy because life is way too short to live it any other way. Ginnie died in February 2015. Although she lived two years with the knowledge that each day could be her last, Ginnie never gave up on her plans for the future. She had a plan for each one of those days and no matter her health, Ginnie Levin lived exactly how she wanted.

City gives final approval to demolish Todd’s Party Store for student housing By Ben Solis Staff Reporter @bensolis1 | news@cm-life.com

Developers who will turn Todd’s Party Store into new student housing were given permission to move forward Thursday. Joe Olivieri wants to demolish the vacant beer and wine depot at 104 E. May St. and build a five-person student housing. The building is zoned as a non-conforming property in the M-2 district, an area composed of mostly student housing. Mount Pleasant’s Planning Commission reviewed the site plan and held a public hearing on Todd’s at its Oct. 1 meeting. Commissioners approved both a special use permit and site plan at the meeting. Olivieri hopes to raze the single-story building this year. He expects construction to begin soon thereafter. Demolition and construction will not affect surrounding roadways or student traffic. The party store was a fixture in Mount Pleasant for 30 years under a number of different owners. The property itself is owned by Marshall Real Estate. Todd Gurzick ran the most re-

cent incarnation of the party store, which closed March 2014 after eight years of business. Mount Pleasant’s City Commission passed a resolution to overhaul the M-2 zoning rules to reduce the occupancy of student rentals. It will also create a buffer zone between student and residential housing. The new rules will not affect the project, said City Planner Jacob Kain. The changes will go into effect after construction begins. Having a party store in the middle of student housing and so close to residential areas was a source of frustration for city officials and residents alike, especially considering the building’s bright blue and orange Detroit theme. Despite growing opposition to new student housing, most residents approve of the project. “I’m one of those people who can sit on their front porch and see the property,” said Nancy Fulton at the Sept. 23 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. “I like the property and I’m a big Detroit Tigers fan, but I will not miss the building.” Planning Commissioner Mark Ranzenberger praised the project, saying a new building will help put decades of unease to rest. “(The new project) will replace a problem child in the area with what seems to be a really nice looking home,” Ranzenberger said.

Check Yourself to Protect Yourself I

magine every student at Central Michigan University standing side by side in an open area. Then double that number. That is just slightly more than the number of women the American Cancer Society estimates will die from breast cancer this year alone. With Breast Cancer Awareness month upon us, it is in the best interest of all students, staff and faculty to look into breast cancer screenings. Either through monthly self-examinations or cancer screenings through your local hospital, it is important for everyone to be checked. The simplest way to self-examine is either in the shower or lying down, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Using the pads of your fingers, move around the tissue of the breast area in a circular motion — from nipple to armpit — checking for lumps or tenderness within the area. Thickening of tissue, knots or lumps are typically the most telltale signs of breast cancer in an individual. Breast cancer is not gender discriminatory. Non-Hispanic white women have the highest rates of contraction, but African American women of all ages are more likely to receive a fatal diagnosis than any other race or ethnicity. Men have a much lower contraction rate, but the Susan G Komen foundation estimates that 440 men will die from breast cancer this year. As breast cancer for women typically does not occur until over the age of 40, the likelihood of a student being diagnosed is incredibly slim. But that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Five minutes in the shower self-examining could be the difference between finding a lump in its earliest and most easily treatable stages and finding it when it’s too late. Be safe, but above all, be smart. As of 2015, there is a one in eight chance of a woman contracting breast cancer in her life. There is a one in 36 chance that she will die from it. There is nothing more important than your own health. Check yourself to protect yourself.

A message to my fellow allies This week isn’t for us. As Coming Out Week commences, that’s important to remember. As straight people, or those not part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, we aren’t inside any closet. Please do not “come out” as an ally this week. As an ally, we don’t have to keep “coming out” to everyone we meet. It’s a privilege we were born with; society looks at people and assumes they are straight, unless something stereotypical says otherwise. Your intent might be good, but for a lot of people, the concept of coming out will alter the rest of their lives. A person could face issues with

family, their social circle, risk employment or their living situation to come out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Coming out as an ally diminishes the issues we will never have to face. According to the Human Rights Campaign, Coming Out Day serves as a reminder that one of the most basic tools for LGBTQ+ equality is

the power of coming out. One out of every two Americans has someone who is close to them who is gay or lesbian. For transgender people, that number is one in ten. When people know someone who is LGBTQ, they are more likely to support equality under the law. Notice there were no statistics on how many people will come out as allies this year, Coming Out’s 27th anniversary. To be blunt, no one cares that we’re straight. That’s how it should be. “Straight pride” exists 365 days a year, because that’s how often we are allowed to exercise a full array of human rights. This week isn’t for us.

Understand that your voice and input doesn’t belong everywhere in this movement. The bulk of what happens here will have little to no affect on your life, so let the people who matter most raise their voices. We are simply here for support. Sometimes the best thing you can do to support someone is to shut up and listen to voices that are so often silenced in society. Allies aren’t part of the LGBTQ community because we are straight. If you try to shove yourself into a community you aren’t a part of, you take away safe spaces reserved for people who actually are. Allies can be helpful in other ways, like using our privileged voices to spread awareness and education. Call out people on being homophobic and transphobic. Call out people

Curfew times aren’t just unreasonable, they’re a pain It’s a little past 11:30 p.m. and I’m walking home from work. The fastest way back from Moore Hall to my dorm in Merrill is to walk by the Health Professions building and cut through Sweeney by the POD. Especially in the winter, being able to cut through the adjacent dorms helps me stay warmer longer. This year, I’m somewhat resigned to freezing my fingers off. Even now as I type this, I’m kissing them goodbye one by one and trying to make the most of the time I have left with them. In light of the new residence hall policy change — all halls locking their doors at 10 p.m. rather than midnight — I almost feel like I’m back in middle school with a set curfew. And keeping with the theme of middle school, I’m going to describe this situation with a phrase middle school me liked to say a lot: This sucks. Shutting the doors of residence halls at 10 p.m. is completely unreasonable. I understand, after speaking to the Executive Director for Student Af-

Jordyn Hermani

News Editor

fairs, this change was put into effect in an effort to keep “unwanted traffic” from entering the dorms after hours. I respect that. Furthermore, I deeply respect the push for keeping our students at the university safe no matter the time of day. But there comes a point when you have to ask, how much is too much? On a campus where students attend class late and work even later, the idea of a 10 p.m. curfew is unreasonable. It’s frustrating when lock-happy deskies make a point to shut residence hall side doors at 9:45 p.m. instead of at the correct times. It’s frustrating when I’ll get to a door at 9:59 p.m. and be told that I’m not allowed to enter through this door because it’s “after hours.” It’s even more frustrating when I

try to grab something to eat from Tidbits, the in-hall restaurant for South Campus, and find out that I can’t even use the door to get back into Merrill — I have to walk outside in my pajamas in the cold, half-way around the building to get back in. I can only imagine how much worse it’s going to get when it’s negative 15 degrees outside, without wind chill factored in, and six inches of snow on the ground. Personal complaining aside, my point in all this is simple: This is college. I came here so I could learn how to be an adult, to go to school and to be entrusted with a modicum of freedom. I didn’t come here to be told that if I’m not home at a specific time there’s going to be hoops to jump through and consequences to follow. I get why the change was implemented. I get the reasoning behind it. But at this point in our lives, maybe it’s time to skin our knees and learn to deal with problems like adults instead of putting curfews in place. Until then, I’ll be looking up wool gloves on Amazon.

who make “harmless” jokes and those disgusting guys who wish all women were bisexual just so they could watch. Participate in activism and learn all you can about the movement. Because if you’re that “in the closet” about it so the bigots in your life would be surprised to learn you’re “not really one of them,” it sounds like you’re not really an ally. Before crying your straight tears, remember that you don’t get extra points for doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Being kind is something all humans should aspire to, so much so that it goes unnoticed. Be kind to your LGBTQ+ friends and family — show them that you’re an ally. If you do this, you should never have to “come out” as one.

Planet Fitness to open on Mission Street By Ben Solis Staff Reporter @bensolis1 | news@cm-life.com

A new Planet Fitness will open at 2135 S. Mission Street in December, said company officials. Planet Fitness will replace JoAnn Fabrics in the same strip mall as Kmart and JC Penney. Planet Fitness Mount Pleasant will feature amenities such as various workout machines, free weights and other cardio exercise equipment, said Hoyt Frericks, part-owner and developer with Planet Fitness. Hydromassage, tanning equipment and full-service locker rooms will also be available. The new business will not offer a student discount in Mount Pleasant, Frericks said. “We have a location in Kalamazoo that has a few student memberships, so I’m sure we’ll have a few,” he said.

Construction crews will continue interior work until November. Only a few updates were done to the exterior, Frericks said. One obvious change is a portion painted deep purple — the company’s trademark color. Planet Fitness offers standard memberships at $10 per month. A $20 membership allows patrons to bring guests and access to massage and tanning equipment. The decision will come down to whether students are getting the best bang for their buck elsewhere. Students may consider the new gym if they can get more for their money off campus, Frericks added. “The advantage for us is that we’ll be open 24 hours, seven days a week with a full staff,” he said. “The (other work out facilities) won’t have the same amenities.” Chicago sophomore Tyler Matulef said the decision to go to an offcampus gym would come down to cost and how full the SAC becomes. “If it were less expensive, then maybe,” he said.” It really depends on how busy they are. If (the SAC is) too busy and I can’t work out, then (I’d) definitely (switch).”

Football wins first conference opener since 2009, topping NIU 29-19 By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor @TDesOrmeau | sports@cm-life.com

For the first time since the Butch Jones era in 2009, Central Michigan football won its conference opener on Saturday, taking down Northern Illinois 29-19 on a sloppy day at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The Huskies have won the Mid-American Conference West Division five years in a row and are 35-0 in MAC regular season play against teams other than CMU since Nov. 27, 2009. Against Central Michigan in that span, the Huskies are now 3-4. “This one feels real good,” said junior quarterback Cooper Rush. “To go 1-0 in the MAC, defeat the defending champs and a very good football team that’s going to be in it right until

the very end, this one feels good.” The victory catapults the Chippewas to the top of the MAC West alongside the 24th-ranked Toledo Rockets. Toledo comes to Mount Pleasant for some Tuesday night MACtion on Nov. 10. The Chippewa offense was out of sync in the first half, with wet and windy weather conditions playing a factor in the Homecoming matchup. The CMU offense had the wind at its back in the third quarter with slightly less miserable conditions, Head Coach John Bonamego said. “It was an ugly day,” Bonamego said. “Hands get cold. (The) ball gets wet. It’s windy. It’s really challenging to throw into it. I think it was more of a factor in the first half of the football game than it was in the second half. It wasn’t as bad throwing into it, it kind of died down.”

With the help of three NIU third quarter turnovers, Rush took advantage of the Huskies’ sloppy play. The Chippewas scored 23 points in the third quarter, which gave them a 26-13 lead. Rush was 8-for-12 with 120 yards and two touchdowns in the third quarter, while only going 8-for-19 with 62 yards and an interception in the other three quarters. “We got some good scoring chances,” Rush said. “We were able to take advantage of going downwind, it didn’t rain in the third quarter. We were able to capitalize.” Senior linebacker Tim Hamilton, who had 11 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception, said Saturday’s showing was not CMU’s best work. “We know we could have played a lot better than we did today,” Hamilton said. “We really just rallied together and realized we

could pull this off and just kept fighting.” Rush agreed, and said salvaging a win on a rough day is what good football teams do. “I think we learned something about our team, to pull through when you’re not playing well,” he said. “That was big for us, I think. That’s what good teams do. To be able to beat a good opponent on an ugly game and just make enough plays.” With Western Michigan on deck, the Chippewas have a chance to come out of their grueling first-half schedule at .500. “It’s important to get off to a good start and it was important for these kids to win a game,” Bonamego said. “These kids have put a lot into it the last four weeks and come up short. To earn a win against a quality opponent in conference, it’s great for them to see the fruits of their labor.”

Drive summary: Turnovers lead to 23-point third quarter Central Michigan football struggled in soggy conditions in the first half, but three third-quarter turnovers helped spark the Chippewa offense. Two fumbles and an interception resulted in 21 points. Junior quarterback Cooper Rush threw a pair of touchdowns to senior wide receiver Jesse Kroll. The other score came from junior running back Jahray Hayes on his first career touchdown. The Chippewas would go on to win 29-19 to move to 2-3 and 1-0 in Mid-American Conference play.

On the first run of Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois, sophomore running back Devon Spalding suffered a fractured clavicle. Spalding will be reevaluated early this week. Junior running back Jahray Hayes filled in for Spalding, carrying the ball 29 times for 78 yards while picking up a 4-yard touchdown, the first of his career. “I just knew I had to go in there and step it up,” Hayes said. “We lost a good running back in Spalding, so I just knew I had to go out there and do it for my team.” Head Coach John Bonamego praised Hayes for his efforts and said fans will be seeing Hayes in the backfield frequently while Spalding is sidelined. “I thought Jahray did a great job,” Bonamego said. “He just got here in training camp. He didn’t have the benefit of spring practice or any of those things. He’s a strong runner, definitely a guy who can move the pile. You’re going to see a lot more of him moving forward with Spalding out.” Junior running back Martez Walker is listed as the top back on the depth chart but only had two carries for five yards Saturday. He’s carried the ball five times in the past three weeks after a minor early-season injury. Similar to Spalding, NFL running backs

Adrian Peterson and Ryan Matthews have fractured their clavicles. The length of time off the field with this injury can vary greatly, depending on the severity of the fracture, according to a 2010 Louisville Orthopedics study. The study found that the average return time for an NFL player suffering a fractured clavicle was 8.8 weeks, although some returned in as little as three weeks. The clavicle is located between the ribcage and sternum and is more commonly referred to as the collarbone. The Chippewas play their final regular season game Nov. 27 against Eastern Michigan, one day short of eight weeks from Saturday’s game. For Hayes, he had his own issues to deal with. The junior college transfer from the City College of San Francisco was challenged by the weather conditions. “That was the coldest game I’ve ever played,” Hayes said. “I’m from California. It’s scary to me, because I know it’s going to get worse.” Hayes put extra attention on holding onto the ball in Saturday’s slippery conditions. He fumbled five times last season for San Francisco. “Since it was slippery and wet out there, I pretty much had two hands on the ball at all times,” he said. Hayes had the most rushing touchdowns in the California Community College Athletic Association last season with 21 scores on 212 attempts and 1,016 yards.

Coming into the season, I said the Central Michigan football team would be lucky to have two wins through the team’s brutal first six games of the schedule. It only took Head Coach John Bonamego and company five games to earn a second W, beating the team that has topped the Mid-American Conference West Division five years in a row. Speaking of row, the Chippewas have a rested Western Michigan team on deck, perhaps CMU’s toughest game left this year — excluding the Nov. 10 Toledo game. No matter what happens next Saturday, the Chippewas are in prime position to break out of their 5-3 rut in the MAC. What was once supposed to be a rebuilding year is now the year CMU could finally break back into relevance. There is a lack of playmakers this season without Thomas Rawls, who’s making strides with the Seattle Seahawks, and Titus Davis, who’s on the New York Jets practice squad. It hasn’t mattered. Cooper Rush finds a different weapon every week, from Ben McCord, to

Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor

Jesse Kroll to Devon Spalding. Those who have watched closely know CMU’s 2-3 record doesn’t tell the whole story. Central Michigan’s three losses have come to opponents with a combined 13-1 record, including a pair of Top 25 teams. Saturday, the team had one of its worst performances — partly due to soggy weather — yet still topped Northern Illinois, who came within a touchdown of No. 1 Ohio State. Seniors Tim Hamilton and Kavon Frazier were turnover and tackle machines, while Rush found a way to recover from a first half as depressing as the weather forecast. If the Chippewas play like they did in the third quarter Saturday — snatching three turnovers and scoring 23 points — they’ll be spending Dec. 4 in Detroit for the MAC Championship game instead of watching from home

for the sixth straight year. While there’s plenty of credit to spread around, much of it falls on the shoulders of Bonamego. He’d already won the hearts of students and alumni before the season even started, but now he’s earning the wins on the field. We’ve even already seen a player he’s brought in make an impact, with junior college transfer Jahray Hayes leapfrogging Martez Walker for carries and earning a respectable 78 yards and a touchdown on Saturday in place of the injured Devon Spalding. Bonamego doesn’t shy away from taking the blame, either. He welcomed responsibility for the end-of-first-half confusion, which led to 12 seconds wasted and a missed field goal. “It’s just one of those things you can chalk up to my inexperience,” Bonamego said. “I won’t make that mistake again, though, I promise.” He’s right when he says “there’s a lot of football left to be played.” There’s no doubt there’s work to be done. Things could fall apart. As of now, there’s no reason not to be fired up about where this program is headed in 2015 and beyond.

Team deals with several injuries headed into Western Weekend By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | sports@cm-life.com

With Mid-American Conference play now underway, Central Michigan football picked up its first conference win of the season Saturday, but the team took a blow to its roster. Here is where the CMU football team is in terms of health after the 29-19 victory over Northern Illinois.

running back Sophomore running back Devon Spalding suffered a fractured clavicle on CMU’s first drive of the game, and is out indefinitely according to Head Coach John Bonamego. Spalding is set to be reevaluated this week and it is unclear if he will need surgery.

defensive end For the third consecutive week, junior defensive end Joe Ostman did not play for CMU. Ostman has been nursing a severe ankle sprain sustained during CMU’s Week 2 victory over Monmouth. He did not travel to Syracuse the week after his injury and did not dress against Michigan State or on Saturday. Ostman has been slowly increasing his activity, participating in individual drills last week. Bonamego improved his playing status to “questionable” late last week before eventually keeping him out of Saturday’s conference opener. linebacker Right before he virtually took Saturday’s game over, senior line-

backer and captain Tim Hamilton had to be helped off the field early in the third quarter due to back spasms. Hamilton said he was “fine” after the game and went on to force a fumble and record 11 tackles and an interception.

offensive lineman Senior offensive lineman Kenny Rogers played his first full game last week before starting Saturday’s game after tearing his pectoral muscle during spring practice. Rogers and fellow senior offensive lineman Nick Beamish were able to keep junior quarterback Cooper Rush upright for most of the game. Rogers presence should help improve CMU’s struggling running game as the MAC season continues.

Soccer wins first home night game, 1-1 on weekend By Andrew Surma and Joe Judd Staff Reporters

Bringing a two-game shutout winning streak into Sunday, Central Michigan soccer couldn’t make it three as conference front-runner Ball State capped off the Chippewas’ weekend with a 2-1 loss. After splitting the weekend against two teams with four-game winning streaks, the Chippewas are 2-2 in Mid-American Conference play and 3-7-1 overall. With Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green coming to town this Friday and Sunday, the Chippewa offense will need a kick start to get back on track in MAC play. The team has four total goals in four conference matches, while allowing three to opponents. “Our (offensive) rhythm at times is really quite good,” said third year Head Coach Peter McGahey. “I think we need to find a little bit of balance between being so width dominant and being able to attack in the center channel, to make sure the team can’t just sit on us, on the width, and make our attack overly predictable.” McGahey said his team’s ability to bounce

back after losses excites him moving forward this season. “Every time we’ve asked them to respond this season, they’ve responded,” McGahey said. “I told the team, sometimes when you are climbing to the top of a mountain, the hardest last little steps are the time to get over the top. Now, we are saying who will get us over the top — a group of players or player? We’ve got to find that moment now to carry us over the top and say we can be consistently good.” McGahey said he knows his team is competitive and knows there’s a lot of soccer left to be played this season. “We just need that final push to get us up onto the top and feel like we can keep climbing,” McGahey said.

Sunday: Ba ll Stat e 2, CMU 1 The Chippewas only recorded five shots on goal in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Ball State. After getting down 1-0 early in the second half, Central Michigan freshman forward Alexis Pelafas headed in a bouncing ball in the box to tie the game 1-1 at 58:10. “I thought we responded well after their goal,”

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer The CMU soccer team plays against the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks Friday at the CMU Lacrosse/Soccer Stadium. The Chippewas defeated the Redhawks 1-0.

McGahey said. “To come back and take the tying goal about seven minutes later is pretty good.” Penalties would ultimately doom the Chippewas, however. At 81:12, Ball State junior Leah Mattingly struck the back of the net on a free kick from 22 yards out. “Hats off to (Mattingly) who scored on the free kick. It’s quite a good finish and sometime you just have to tip your hat,” McGahey said. Junior goalkeeper Maddy Bunnell started in net Sunday. Bunnell said she was told she’d be starting five minutes before the game. Despite losing, Bunnell played well, recording four saves on Ball State’s 13 shots on goal. “I got a lot of action, but some of it is planned action, which is a smarter way of defending,” Bunnell said. “One thing that is consistent about us is our fight on the back line.”

Friday: CMU 1, Miami (Ohio) 0

Friday night’s match was the first home night game in program history and first victory in the new CMU Soccer/Lacrosse Complex. Facing windy and cold autumn conditions, the Chippewas put forth a quality effort against Miami for CMU’s second shutout victory in as many games. Junior defender Taylor Potts scored the lone goal for CMU. With 3:22 left on the clock, Potts took the ball into the opposing box and was abruptly knocked to the turf, forcing the referee to call the foul. Potts scored on the penalty kick for her second goal of the season. It was also the first penalty-kick goal of her collegiate career. “I went to turn and I kind of jumped be-

cause I knew she was sweeping with her leg, but, as I jumped over her foot, she clipped my foot and I just made the best of the play. I knew I wasn’t going to get a shot off,” Potts said. “I needed to score for my team because if I didn’t, the other team was going to get a crazy amount of momentum.” Miami entered Friday’s match riding a fourgame winning streak with a 6-3-0 (2-0-0 MAC) record while sitting atop the MAC East Division.

Practicing on the pitch: A glimpse into a CMU soccer practice By Joe Judd Staff reporter @josecan_yousee | sports@cm-life.com

Soccer fans at Central Michigan University see the 90 minutes of action on the pitch between the Chippewas and their opponents, but don’t see the hours of dedication put in by the team’s coaching staff, athletic trainers and 28 players who make up the 2015 soccer unit. Head Coach Peter McGahey said practices typically take longer to plan than they do to execute. Weekly practice is where a majority of the team’s fine-tuning occurs, since a coaching staff can only control so much during the course of a match. Central Michigan Life got a glimpse into what goes into a typical weekday morning soccer practice, from the opening warmup drills to the final cool down and injury-prevention exercises at the end of practice. “It is a matter of finding activities from your stable of activities that engage (the team),” McGahey said. “It’s a matter of finding the activity that fits with what you want and that fits with the team.” Wednesday, Sept. 30 Players begin arriving at the CMU Soccer/Lacrosse Complex just before 8 a.m. From there, the team gathers in their team meeting room for a quick film session. It is typical to go over footage from previous matches on Wednesdays. At 9 a.m., the team hits the pitch and begins practice. 9:10 a.m. A typical practice will begin with what are called “pre-hab” drills. Utilized primarily for injury prevention, these drills on this particular Wednesday were moved to the end of CMU’s practice to change things up. Volunteer Assistant Coach Tomás Barrett said the team decid-

ed to focus on starting slow, with some light running and stretching followed by more running to keep players loose — especially on a chilly morning where the temperature was below 55 degrees. “(McGahey) will vary it from day to day,” Barrett said. “We’ll either go straight into something competitive to get (the team) switched on fast or we’ll gradually build it up.” With Miami and Ball State on the ledger for the weekend at the time of the practice, McGahey chose for the more competitive style of practice. 9:20 a.m. The team then splits into smaller groups to work on finetuning, from 4-on-4-on-4 drills to defensive drills to goalie practice. An example of a competitive drill is 4-on-4-on-4, where a player in the drill wears either an orange, yellow or blue vest over her practice attire. Two teams will then work on passing the ball and keeping it away from those wearing blue vests in what an onlooker might call ‘keep away.’ “Whoever doesn’t have the ball has two teams against them so you’re outnumbered by two when you don’t have the ball,” Barrett said. “You need to work at, instead of just running at the ball, closing

the spaces. From a defender’s point of view, because you’re outnumbered you need to be creative in how you close people down.” At the same time, the goalkeepers on the roster go to one end of the pitch to work on goalie drills in the net with Assistant Head Coach and Director of External Affairs Joe Nemzer. Working with freshman Zoie Reed, and seniors Maddy Bunnell and Kristen Knutson this year has been a positive experience for Nemzer. He said he has seen their games improve over the course of the season. “We build our sessions kind of like a mechanic,” Nemzer said. “You put them in situations where all of the technical issues are at the forefront where you can see them, expose them and really work and fix them. I can point out stuff at a really technical, foundational level.” Each of the goalkeepers has a different set of skills and a different way of attacking the position. Nemzer said he is proud of how all three of them with how they’ve dealt with adversity this season. “It’s different because (Reed), for example, is in her first season and her progression has been really good,” Nemzer said. “She’s kind of picking up on my lingo and how we’re working as a group. (Knut-

son), this is now season number two, so she’s really familiar with the progression of the season and how it works. (Bunnell), in year three, she and I have very good rapport in regards to what the expectation is in training, what we’re trying to build toward and what we value.” Simultaneously, another small group breaks off with Assistant Head Coach and Director of Internal Affairs Cassie Weik to work on more of a defensive-focused routine, similar to the one monitored by McGahey. 9:35 a.m. CMU’s proceeding drill trains the midfielders in linking up with the strikers and then supporting the strikers once they have the ball, as they approach the opposing goalie’s box with hopes of scoring a goal.

Another important preparation tool, this exercise helps to tidy up the communication between players, whether it’s on the attacking or defensive side of the ball. “We’re getting the ball into our strikers’ feet and they hold it up quite well but they need to come and support too because they’re stranded on their own.” 10:10 a.m. Continuing with the theme of putting his players in game situations, McGahey prepares his team for MAC play by training for what they would most likely see against the RedHawks that Friday and the Cardinals that Sunday. As a team, the Chippewas place importance on having quick transitions so they can press fast and get a shot off in as little time as possible.

Opponents are most vulnerable right when they lose the ball on the attack, so pushing a team fast with possession of the ball and limiting them to five shots is part of the process of working out what CMU’s adversaries will try to do. 10:31 a.m. Free, corner and penalty kicks are one area that a team has a good deal of control over during a match. Barrett said this is a part of the game the team needs to put a lot of stock into. It is the only time during the course of a match where teams can stop, get into formation and actually have a play ready to go. “These will be practiced over and over at the highest level and w Soccer | 29

Field hockey still looking for first win, 0-3 at home game By Ashley Szymanski Staff Reporter @aszymanski17 | sports@cm-life.com

In the first half of its six-game homestand, the Central Michigan field hockey team lost to Pacific, Ohio and Kent State this weekend, still trying to pull out its first win of the season. The Chippewas fell to 0-11 and 0-3 in MidAmerican Conference play. CMU has a week to prepare for Iowa (7-3), ranked 18th in the country. The game will be at noon next Sunday at the CMU Field Hockey Complex. The Chippewas have been outshot 20-5 per game by their opponent. Overall, CMU is being outscored 50-11 through 11 games.

Sunday: KSU 1, CMU 0 The last time CMU and Kent State faced each other was last season, when the Chippewas defeated the Golden Flashes to capture the MAC Regular Season Championship.

With both teams struggling for offense success, the Chippewas lost 1-0 on a late secondhalf goal. Kent State’s Madison Thompson scored the game’s only goal with 20 minutes to play in the second half. The Golden Flashes outshot the Chippewas 20-7 while CMU goalie Sadie Lynn Reynolds made 12 saves.

Friday: Ohio 3, cmu 1

Hinkle to bring the score to 3-1. It was the seventh goal of the season for Gregory. Ohio outshot Central Michigan 20-3 by the end of the contest. “I saw good things,” Pelowski said. “It just comes down to the execution of our game plan and we just need to keep executing throughout.”

T hursday: pacific 3, CMU 0 Neither Pacific nor CMU had offensive

success in the first half until the Tigers scored with thirty seconds to play in the half. Rylie Corneau earned the goal for Pacific, the only goal the Tigers would need. After the break, Pacific scored early in the first four minutes. Minutes later, Pacific struck again with another insurance goal. Pacific outshot CMU 17-2 and Central Michigan’s goalie Sadie Lynn Reynolds made seven saves.

Ohio started the scoring early, netting a goal in the first minute of the game. Seven minutes later, Elena Curley made it 2-0 for Ohio. Just before the half, the Bobcats went up 3-0. “We shouldn’t have been discouraged by the early goal,” said Head Coach Molly Pelowski. “We just need to work on our passing game and pay attention to the details.” After the break, both teams had trouble scoring offensively. With two minutes left in the second half, CMU senior Kaysie Gregory scored for the Chippewas, assisted by Kianne

people will be staying after practice just to get these right,” he said. “Soccer is a very unpredictable sport. This is the one predictable part you can have. If you can look after things you can actually control, that’s a big deal.” On average — depending on the caliber of the league — a team will receive less than six corners or free kick chances per match and next to zero penalty kicks. 10:45 a.m. The day’s practice begins to wind down as players regroup and begin their pre-hab exercises, normally done at the beginning of practice. Barrett said he has noticed a positive effect on the overall health of the roster in his brief time volunteering with the program. The
