Student killed in hit and run Michigan State Police asking for information about death of 17-year-old Merrill Hall resident Online Exclusive

life in brief

striking the student, the driver, who was also heading north on Crawford, did not stop. Investigators have no idea how fast the car was going, Vetter said. “The only way we could determine that is if we had the car,” she said. The likelihood of finding the driver depends on public awareness and response. “What we need is the public to help us out,” Vetter said. “Somebody hit this kid. They will tell someone, and that person needs to let us know. They can’t keep that a secret.” In the meantime, police are pulling traffic camera images from surrounding areas to get a description of the vehicle.

S. crawford Rd.

Michigan State Police Troopers are investigating the death of a Macomb freshman who was struck by a car on his way back to campus just after midnight on Nov. 1. Sgt. Kimberly Vetter said the 17-year-old student was walking northbound on South Crawford Road between Bilbrael and Concourse streets in Union Township when he was struck by a car. He was walking with friends in the area, which has no sidewalks and is poorly lit. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Vetter said state police are still looking for any information on the vehicle, which is a dark-colored, older four-door sedan that would have passenger-side damage. After

Police aren’t releasing the name of the student, though friends of the victim have expressed their condolences on social media. “Speaking with the mother this morning — they’ve been through a lot,” Vetter said. “We normally release (the name) after a couple hours, but this is tough.” The department has no suspects so far. The student’s friends gave statements to police after the incident. Investigators are in the process of re-interviewing students now that they are all sober. No one else was injured. As the victim was a resident of Merrill Hall, the adjacent halls are responding on site to support students, as well as counselors from the CMU Counseling Center. Troopers request anyone who may have information about the driver call (989) 773-5951. Those wishing for counseling or assistance are encouraged to call Listening Ear at (989) 773-3329.

SGA and Dean of Libraries partner to extend library hours be a huge waste of university services,” Mahone said in September. Student use of the library is measured by door sensors students walk through when they enter the library by either side of the information desk, Irwin said. During pre-finals week, a daily headcount will be taken to measure if extended hours are necessary. In an average academic semester, the library is used by 3,000 people each day. While longer hours gives more resource availability, it also comes at a higher cost to the library, mainly with staffing, Moore said. “We always have resource limitation, so we have to be mindful of costs to be open more,” he said. “One of the things we run into is the marginal costs change considerably depending on what we do. It depends on where an hour falls within a day or in a week because our regular staff have shifts and we can’t bring people in at weird or irregular times and expect to maintain employees.” Finalized costs of running the library are not actually known, Moore said, because utilities are not paid for by the library. If late-night use does not see an influx of students relative to its daytime hours, the library will reinstitute the hours of operation they employed in the spring 2015 semester Mahone said. “If no one’s using it, then there’s obviously not a need for it,” he said. “You don’t want students just to get in there for a head count; you want to make sure students actually use it. If that’s not the best use of university resources because students don’t actually need it, then we want (those resources) to go somewhere else.” As of Oct. 26, Mahone said he has not been made aware of student feedback, but believes students are taking advantage of the extended hours. Irwin said a plan is in action for advertising the extended times through means of Facebook, advertisement boards and other social media sites. “We will keep doing (extended pre-final hours) as long as there is a need for it,” Irwin said.

Partnering with the Student Government Association, the Charles V. Park Library is extending library hours to as late as 2 a.m. most weeknights. Sunday through Wednesday until 2 a.m., the library will stay open for student use. During that time, the fourth, third and second floor will close, but the first floor will stay open to allow students to study. Dean of Libraries Tom Moore said SGA President Chuck Mahone approached him during the spring semester and asked if it were possible to extend library hours prior to the week of finals. Moore extended it for the entire semester, Monday through Thursday and Sundays, until Dec. 20. “The pattern of library time usage has gradually been getting (later and later) so if there’s demand, we will continue (to stay open later),” Moore said. “We want to meet the expectations and requirements of giving our greatest possible support to students and other people who use the library. ” During the 2014 fall and 2015 spring semesters, the library featured extended hours the weekend prior to finals. Now, the library will also stay open until 2 a.m. the entire week prior to finals, along with certain days during the week said Associate Dean of Libraries Kathy Irwin. “We’re having the whole building open to give people more access to study spaces, to the printers, to the computer resources and other things (students) need to accomplish their work,” Irwin said. “The important thing is to support student work.” Initially, SGA pushed to establish 24-hour library times. This was changed to extended hours when a lack of overall student use of library services was examined, Mahone said. “The reality is our library isn’t used to the point to justify a 24-hour library and (it) would

Student-athletes balance personal social media accounts with intrusiveness of the digital age By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor

hrough social media, sports fans can interact with athletes and teams anywhere in the world. And they can add their opinions to the conversation. Athletes, who used to only directly interact with the public during autograph sessions and media appearances, are now some of the most accessible people on the planet. But when it comes to college athletics, social media can further complicate the student-athlete balance. While their classmates can tweet and post with few consequences, 18 to 23-year-old athletes have to balance using accounts for personal use while representing the Central Michigan University brand.

Death Threats and Arguments In the second quarter of the Sept. 19 CMU-Syracuse game, sophomore defensive end Mitch Stanitzek was ejected on a targeting call. Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey was sidelined with an injury for the rest of the game as a result of the play. While sitting in the locker room, Stanitzek received death threats and vulgar messages via Twitter before the game was even over. An account called @FMitchStanitzek was created with tweets calling him “a clown,” among other things.

The video board outside Kelly/Shorts Stadium shows social media accounts on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Stanitzek said he’s “not a big tweeter,” but does use his account. He made his account private after the incident. “It can just be blown out of proportion,” Stanitzek said. “People like to say a lot of things when they’re behind closed doors. Ultimately, social media you just have to ignore sometimes.” Assistant Athletics Director for Communications Rob Wyman told Stanitzek not to get dragged down to the level of the angry Syracuse fans. “I think Mitch handled that very professionally,” Wyman said. “We did report some issues to Twitter, to Facebook, just so those messages were removed and that those accounts were disciplined. That’s the one thing you can do.” With the anonymity social media provides, people often say outrageous, vulgar or threatening comments without any

consequences. College athletes are held to a different standard. “Being representatives of the university, they don’t have, technically, that same freedom,” Wyman said. “They’re held to a standard. I think our players get that.” Stanitzek’s case — similar to Michigan punter Blake O’Neill, who received death threats after not being able to handle a punt to beat Michigan State on Oct. 17 — exemplifies the inherent danger that can come with social media use. “It’s sad that you need people to have to say ‘Stop, this is ridiculous. Why are you threatening to kill a kid because he dropped a punt and lost the game?’ That’s what happens,” Wyman said. “The Michigan athletics director has to put out a message telling people to stop. Because you’re hurting the brand, you’re hurting the reputation.”

CMU sets its own rules Scott Hirko, a professor who teaches PES 297B: Sport Communication and Media at CMU, said social media is changing faster than legislature can keep up with. He said universities are responsible for monitoring how their athletes are using social media. “The NCAA doesn’t really have any formal regulation about how current college athletes are to use social media,” he said. “They leave that up to the institutions to do that.” To keep CMU athletes informed about social media guidelines, the CMU Sports Information Department meets with each team before the season. Wyman tells athletes they should treat social media postings the same way they would treat other public interactions. “It’s easy to snap out 120 characters

about something and not think about it,” Wyman said. Head Men’s Basketball Coach Keno Davis said he believes players and recruits alike don’t always realize the reach they have with a simple tweet or post. “We continue to work with our guys to understand what message they are sending on social media,” Davis said. “We’re learning as a staff and we’re trying to share that knowledge with the student-athletes.” While Davis’ point guard, senior Chris Fowler, doesn’t use social media any more, the Southfield native said it is a way for athletes to build personal brands. He credits his parents and his brother — Denver Broncos wide receiver Bennie Fowler — for teaching him how to carry himself professionally. “Even the student that is least known on campus is a role model to somebody,”

While Michigan State’s quarterback Connor Cook has more than 25,000 Twitter followers and Michigan point guard Spike Albrecht’s number tops 56,000, CMU’s prominent pair of athletes, Fowler and junior quarterback Cooper Rush, choose to lay low in the social media landscape. “I got rid of (social media) my fresh-

man year of college,” Fowler said. “I don’t want to necessarily call it a distraction, but I just didn’t want to have it. When I got rid of it, I started to see that you can really carry yourself over social media as a person that you’re not.” Rush keeps his off-the-field social media presence reduced to Facebook. For redshirt freshman offensive lineman Shakir Carr (@TheeShakirCarr), social media brings attention to him he wouldn’t have had 10 years ago. “We’re definitely in a fishbowl,” Carr said. “Everybody’s got their eyes on us and waiting for us to mess up, so we’ve got to stay positive on social media, make sure not to put anything inappropriate or anything that will harm the program.” Carr, a business administration major.

Student, faculty bring back Russian language courses By Grant LeFaive Staff Reporter @Grant_Lefaive | news@cm-life.com

For the first time in 15 years, Russian will be available as a language option for students at Central Michigan University. One course, Russian 101: Elementary Russian, will be offered this spring as a pilot to gauge student interest in the program, said Foreign Languages, Literatures and Cultures Departmet Chair Christi Brookes. Russian was a foreign language option at CMU for decades, but interest began to wane after the Cold War and courses stopped being offered altogether after 2000. “There used to be whole Soviet Studies and Russian language departments, but interest just went completely out the window,” she said. Until Midland junior and computer science, information and technology major Andrew Holland approached her last year with a desire to learn.

Foreign language Department Chair Dr. Christi Brookes sits in her office in 305 Pearce Hall on Oct. 21.

“It’s still a very important and large language — 230 million people still speak it,” Holland said. “Russian is the second language on the internet.” Holland is also interested in learning more about Russia’s culture, and would like to see the art and history unlocked

for a new generation. “He presented me with a list of seventeen names of interested students, so I went to Dean (Pamela) Gates and she gave us the OK,” she said. Brookes will be the course instructor for the pilot class, but more may be brought in should the class be a success. Brookes has a Ph.D in French, but studied Russian in Moscow as part of a study abroad program for the Univesity of Arizona in 1996. She grew up during the Reagan Era of the Cold War, and was excited to learn more about a culture that had been buried by the threat of communism. But in 1996, Russia was still raw from the collapse, and Brookes’ stay in Moscow was full of surprises from the emerging state. Brookes plans to use Russia’s history and some of her own experiences to educate students on the nation’s culture and history. “I ended up doing a dissertation that looks at French takes on Russia and Russians at the

end of the 19th century,” she said. “That’s how much going to Russia meant to me.” How did you become an instructor for Russian courses? My job is actually French (courses). That’s what I have my Ph.D in. As an undegrad, I went to Moscow and lived there for several months while studying Russian language and culture. I haven’t had a chance to do it professionally because there wasn’t enough interest in Russian. So I pursued my Ph.D in French. If there is enough interest, we can look into hiring another instructor. Tell me about studying in Moscow. I left Arizona in January and lived with a Russian woman. At the time, they were having the first presidential elections since the fall of the Soviet Union. Boris Yeltsin was a candidate. I actually met Gorbachev, who was campaigning. I lived in central Moscow, on Tolstoy street, where the author used to live. It was an older part of Moscow. I would look out

and see the remains of the soviet union. They hadn’t taken down all the statues of Lenin in my metro stop. There was a beautiful, beautiful, mosaic of Stalin. Knowing what we know about Stalin it was a horrible thing to see, but you saw all this Soviet propaganda. It was still there. You also saw the remnants of a former empire, all the churches and the kremlin and the leftovers of imperialism from the 19th century until 1917. And then you saw capitalism coming in, European banks and American companies. This was the beginning of the war in Chechnia too. There were bombs on public transportation and such as well. The mafiya was also coming in as these markets were opening up. It was really a wild west period when I was coming in. It really is a world class city today. There’s even a shopping complex under Red Square and none of that was there back then. Then, you could tell the Soviet Union had just been

there and they were trying to figure out who they were. It was pretty cool. With all that unrest and change going on, were you nervous about being there? You think about it, but you have to study and eat and go to the market and figure it out. It was nowhere near as bad as other places. Tell me about the Mafiya in Moscow at the time. Was their presence visible to you? Everything in Central Moscow was owned by the Mafiya. You’d go to meet somebody for a cup of tea and there’d be someone standing there with a machine gun. Wars between the mafiya were going on. As someone without a lot of money, I was able to blend in. If I had been a person of color or someone who looked like I had come from anywhere other than Russia or Europe, I would have been met with a lot of racism and outright prejudice. There were a lot of people I knew who were stopped on a regular basis. There was a heightened sense that things were changing.

Derby Days to fundraise for cancer research By Brianne Twiddy Staff Reporter @Brianne_esque | news@cm-life.com

Zach Stout sat in the Zeta Rho Chapter of Sigma Chi’s living room with two fraternity brothers next to him, and a full head of hair. A few minutes later, the Livonia senior’s head was shaved into an embarrassing hairstyle to raise money for cancer research. “I had it done the past two years. It was funny,” Stout said. “Sorority girls are non-stop shaving head after head, so it’s embarrassing to have the shaved head, but it’s

really fun when it happens.” Derby Days is a weeklong philanthropy event hosted by the Sigma Chi Fraternity where sorority women participate in a series of competitions to earn points and raise money for cancer research and events from Sunday through Friday. Last year, the chapter raised more than $7,000 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute, which is one of the world’s top cancer institutions for cancer and genetics research. The “Pie a Sig, Shave His Wig” event leaves volunteers from the Sigma Chi chapter with ridiculous haircuts for at least 24

hours a year to kick off Derby Days, which raises money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. A brother can also be pied in the face for an additional $1. Each head shaved is worth 50 points for the sorority and each pie is worth one point. The event takes place Monday 6 p.m. at 604 S. Main St. Tuesday will have Sigma Chi’s styling their Derby Days shirt for the “Tag a Sig” event. Sorority women will search for the men in the shirts to take a photo with before tweeting it to @Zeta_Rho_ Sig. Each photo is worth two points. Tuesday will also feature the Derby Chase scavenger hunt,

where hats will be hidden around campus. Sigma Chi will tweet clues from its Twitter page and each hat is worth 50 points. The event begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m. and takes place on campus. “The events are important for a couple reasons. One reason is just to have fun overall in the week and because of turnout,” said philanthropy chair Northvile junior Mark Guidobono. “People become more aware of cancer research and what’s being done. It raises money to hopefully one day find a cure to some types of cancer.” Sororities will each elect

one member to compete against other sororities at Wednesday’s Derby Pageant at 7 p.m. at the Broadway theater. It features three rounds: a best outfit, a talent show and a question and answer round. The first place winner wins 500 points, second place 300 points and third place is 100 points. The winner is named “Derby Darling.” Tickets are $5. Sigma Chi brothers will be bid off to the highest bidder at the Derby Date Auction at 8 p.m. Thursday at Wayside Central. Once bought, the

brother is “owned” by the sorority until 2 a.m. Puppies on the Porch will feature a dozen puppies on the porch of Sigma Chi at 3 p.m. Friday at 604 S. Main St. The first 150 people will receive a free Insomnia cookie. Tickets cost $5. Each ticket is worth 20 points. “It brings people together who are from different groups and bring them closer as a community,” Stout said. The sorority with the most points will be named the winner of Derby Days and will receive $1,000 dollars to donate its philanthropy.

Evolving art wall becomes canvas for student artists By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter @jasteralaina | news@cm-life.com

An evolving art wall in the North Art Studio could look completely different each time someone walks by. The wall contains many different art forms, including stamped police reports from a minor in possession charge and a painted visual of Donald Trump’s head on Donald Duck’s body. Stamps of “Bro, send pics” are across the bottom with a yellow background and there are flying horned creatures throughout the whole wall. Any student can add to the evolving art wall. Some of the works included are assignments given by professors, including printmaking classes taught by Professor of Art Johanna Paas. “We are hoping that (the wall)

will continue to evolve as the semester progresses,” Paas said. “Students are invited to add to the existing image, or cover it and start something new. The collaborative aspect of the wall is interesting and playful.” A Printmaking Studio class started the wall at the beginning of the semester. The wall only has a few rules; that the art doesn’t violate the CMU Checklist for Hallway Exhibit Safety and that no spray painting is done directly on the wall. The introductory printmaking class put its prints up so they appear to be shattering and ripped. The objective of the wall is to provide students with an opportunity to share artwork outside of class. “We want the wall to be an alternative space for students to share their images,” Paas said. “We just ask that students be

respectful of other people’s work and leave new work untouched for at least three days. After those three days, it can be covered or altered.” Some things featured could be considered controversial or inappropriate by some viewers, like Coleman sophomore Danielle Little’s piece on Bill Cosby which reads “step up and rape the rapist.” Her art comes as a response to Cosby’s rape allegations this summer. “As soon as I heard about the evolving wall I started thinking of ideas on how to utilize it,” Little said. “I wanted to make something about rape culture, in a way that would make people think about the issue. By connecting a well known person like Bill Cosby to a certain situation or culture, it makes people think.” Many writers will use people

in the spotlight to catch readers’ attention on certain problems in society, Little said. “I like to convey meaning in my pieces, no matter what they are. I want to get a message across, whether it is obvious or

not,” she said. Another artist, Meadville junior Tate Verduin, originally came to CMU for athletic training but after taking a drawing class she changed her major. “I like the idea of an evolving

art wall,” Verduin said. “It teaches people to be less permanent in their art. It’s weird to put things up because I feel like I’m covering up someone else’s work, but that’s the point.” Read the full story on cm-life.com.

How to make condom use more enjoyable Ok, so you’re in college now and meeting tons of attractive people. Maybe you’re thinking about hooking up with one or more of them, or maybe you already have. In any case, if you’re going to have sex, you need to be smart about it. I’m not going to lecture you about STIs, their frequency in college-age populations, or abstinence. I will teach you things you weren’t taught in junior or senior high sexual education or health classes — things that can improve your sex life. This week’s lesson focuses on enhancing male condom use. If you’ve ever worn one, you know that condom use, while protecting against many STIs and

unintended pregnancies, also comes with a few drawbacks. One such drawback is that condoms can be uncomfortable to wear. First of all, make sure you’re putting it on correctly. Figure out which way it will roll down, pinch the tip of the condom and — leaving room for semen to collect — then roll it down, carefully, all the way to the base of the penis. If it still feels too tight, experiment

with different size options. Do your research online about condom sizing, and you will find that larger condoms accommodate for larger girth, as well as length. Check your local pharmacy or any large grocery store in the family planning section, which is within the health and beauty section, for the best selection. You can also shop online from these same major chain stores, or from specialty stores online. Another common complaint is that condoms chafe the skin of both sexual partners. The best thing to do in this situation is to add a water-based lubricant, both to the glans (head) of the penis, as well as to your partner’s genitals. Don’t hesitate to reapply if too much

friction occurs again. Popular brands of lubricant include Astroglide® and K-Y®, and these can be found right next to the condoms in stores, as well as online. There is a great variety of pleasureenhancing lubricants, in addition to traditional lubricants, that you can experiment with. For water play, a silicone-based lubricant works wonders. Do not use oilbased lubricants, as these can deteriorate latex condoms, thereby decreasing their effectiveness. Finally, I’d like to point out that sex can actually be better with the use of certain condoms. For example, young men can be concerned by premature ejaculation. Condoms with benzocaine

decrease sensation, which can help you last longer. You can also obtain benzocaine specifically formulated for sex in various topical forms, such as creams, lubricants and sprays, which you can use with your favorite type of condom. Again, these can be found with the condoms in stores and online. Textured condoms, like those that are ribbed or studded, increase pleasure and sensation for your partner by stimulating your partner in different ways that are not otherwise possible without a condom. Even the act of putting a condom on can be arousing for partners. I hope these tips have been helpful. Be smart, safe and have fun.

Addressing skepticism about faith and Greek Life Going Greek is one of the few things students can do to become more involved on campus. However, many students are hesitant about whether they should. One reason why some students are reluctant to go Greek is because of their faith. Some of the things fraternities and sororities do might go against things they believe in. The values their religion have set for them might coincide with the values of their future brothers and sisters. There are a lot of negative aspects associated with going Greek, which stem mainly from television shows, movies, and the internet. One major

Leah Townsend Columnist

factor is hazing. Few even view Greek Life as being a cult involving sacred symbols, rites of passage and places where everyone follows the same ideals. Being in a co-ed fraternity, I don’t view the symbols of my fraternity the same way I do the Christian cross or any other religious symbol. There are certain ideals that are set

when you are a member of Greek Life, but they are accompanied by ones I set for myself. Before coming to college, I was skeptical about joining a sorority because of what I have seen and heard from others. I understand now that what I heard may have been a bit distorted or even exaggerated. I talked to my family about joining a Greek organization, and they told me be careful and make sure it didn’t change me. After that, I became even more reluctant because I wondered if joining a sorority meant I was going to change everything I believed in. I soon realized that was not the case.

Throughout my recruitment process I still attended bible study and went to church on a regular basis. I know quite a few people who are part of a fraternity or sorority and are religious. There aren’t any rules against religion in Greek Life. There are also some Christian fraternities out there that are less social and more faith based. Some actions done by students in Greek Life can be deemed immoral, such as drinking, smoking and partying. If a student was brought up in a more strict and religious household, those things may make them uncomfortable. However, not everyone that is a part of

the organization will be engaging in these antics because not every one person in that fraternity or sorority are the same. If drinking, smoking and partying is not a student’s cup of tea and a Greek organization on campus has a bad reputation for engaging in immoral acts, one might want to steer clear. The impact a Greek organization has on someone is completely up to them and the actions they choose to partake in. No one can make you do anything that you aren’t comfortable with doing. No matter what “oath” has been made, one should always be able to turn away from certain situations that go against their beliefs.

Cell phones are taking over our lives Are you following events on campus? How about the presidential debate? Are you aware of recent music, movies, and other trends? If so, you probably have your cell phone to thank for this. For most college students, phones are their main connections to the world, from global news and national affairs, down to school events and hometown friends. It’s easy to feel caught up after scrolling through Twitter, CNN, ESPN, etc. and seeing what’s popular or trending. Because of this — along with the convenience of carrying a pocket-sized

Thomas McKinney Columnist

multitool — students on campus are always attached to their phones if not glued to the screens. Cell phones are grasped in the hands of students waiting for class to start. They’re wired into the brains of students walking to class. Cell phones follow students during the day and lay next to them at night.

With Pocket Points, students use their phones even when they’re not using their phones. Naturally, this addiction is unhealthy. Cell phones, while convenient, have a negative effect on students’ physical and mental faculties. Being so absorbed in one’s phone has a lasting effect on certain aspects of the user’s mind. For example, overusing a cell phone weakens communication skills. From cell phones, students give and receive information in tiny bits at a time. A text message, a headline and a Snapchat all deliver short, simple

messages. A tweet is no more than 140 characters. Even recent news stories are frequently condensed down to paragraph length. This makes it easy for the reader to quickly absorb the piece of information and move on to the next piece. Unfortunately, in-person interaction comes in greater lengths. So when it comes time for a two-hour class period, cell phones may be to blame for a difficulty in focusing. Cell phones are made for time saving, and efficiency does not call for punctuation, grammar, or the correct spelling

of words. After typing informally for so long, trying to email a professor or a boss is likely to result in errors. In fact, cell phones do not even require the user to socialize at all to receive information. It’s completely possible to sit in bed all day and catch up on what happens in the world spinning by outside. It’s interesting how much cell phones connect their users with the outside world, while simultaneously making the two less effective at communication. When mixed with how much we rely on our phones, it’s becoming increasingly worrisome.

OPINION

Odds are stacked against dorm storming debauchery

ccording to statistics released each year by the Central Michigan University Police Department, if

you are using illegal drugs or drinking underage on campus, there is a high likelihood that you will be busted. CMUPD’s annual fire and safety report revealed a large increase in the number of on-campus liquor and drug violations, most of which were committed in the residence halls. Coming off the hangover of a cold and wet Halloween weekend, it is likely that more students opted to start the party in their dorm rooms or even stay hunkered down all night. Partying in the residence halls can seem like a better alternative to a house party or Greek Life gathering, but you could get into a different kind of trouble by staying in. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act requires universities to share crime reports so students are aware of criminal activity on campus. You should be aware that the statistics show you’re more likely to be caught drinking underage or doing drugs in the residence halls than you’d think.

Editorial

There were 125 drug violations referred for disciplinary actions through the Office of Student Conduct in 2014 compared to only 65 in 2013. There were 473 liquor law violations referred for disciplinary action in 2014, 140 more than last year. Realistically, some students will always get away with violating residence hall policies. However, more students are being caught every year. Those who aren’t as lucky face penalties that are not worth “storming the dorms.” On the first alcohol offense, students are fined $200 and are required to take an online alcohol education course. Secondtime offenders receive a $300 fine, must take another online

is the most-followed CMU athlete on Twitter, with more than 10,000 followers. He said most of them are people from his hometown of South Bend, Indiana, but he said he does interact with people who still keep up with him today. “I respond to people. It’s just wishing good luck on the game and stuff like that,” Carr said about his interactions on social media. “I just like to give insight throughout the day, you know? How I feel about certain things.” Carr said his favorite Chippewa to follow is WNBA player Crystal Bradford (@get_em_cb), because of her humor. The 6-foot-4, 316-pound lineman said he hasn’t had any major issues over social media, but now mostly just uses it leisurely as a mode of expression. But for college coaches, social media use has turned from a niche pastime into a necessary component of the job.

The recruiting game Social media accounts provide a direct line of communication to fans and students to promote a team, while direct messaging recruits on Twitter has become as commonplace as a campus visit. “We’ve spent a lot of ways with our staff talking about creative ways in the future that we can come up with to improve where we are,” Davis said. “The things that made successful athletic programs in the past didn’t have anything to do with social media. We’ve got to figure out what we can do to be ahead of the curve.” The best example of the value of social media is the viral video on YouTube showing the football team’s reaction to being selected to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl. The video has more than 560,000 views and was picked up by numerous media outlets, further promoting the brand to fans and recruits. While the NCAA doesn’t allow coaches to contact recruits pub-

licly over social media, there are not restrictions on private conversations through social media. “Kids that are in their junior year, we can’t call them right now,” said Head Football Coach John Bonamego. “We’re not allowed to text them. But we are allowed to direct message them on Twitter.” Recruiting Coordinator and Running Backs Coach Gino Guidugli said each football coach contacts around 25 high school recruits every week. “A lot of kids are more likely to respond through Facebook messaging or Twitter direct messaging (than more traditional methods),” Guidugli said. “So I think that’s our main avenue for social media, just to contact recruits. Especially when you’re only getting one phone call a week (under NCAA bylaws).” Many high school athletes use social media as a public resume. They post links to highlight videos and build up their own personal brand for college recruiters to see. But in addition to the videos and statistics, coaches also see the

tweets high school athletes post. Both Guidugli and Davis said they’ve stopped looking at athletes because of what they posted. “There have been circumstances where we’ve found (vulgar or inappropriate tweets) that kind of turned us off from a kid,” Guidugli said. “That’s why it’s important that the high school coaches, just like college coaches, tell our guys to watch what you’re putting out on social media.” Davis said his program is committed to bringing in high-character student-athletes, even if that means turning down high-profile, talked-about players. Besides talking to a player’s family or high school coach, Davis said social media is a way to help determine a recruit’s personality. “When you see somebody posting things and you don’t feel like their focus is where it needs to be, we’re better off finding that guy who might be a step below in talent,” Davis said. “It’s our belief that they will surpass that other recruit because of their attitude.”

Cross country teams take third, fourth at championship By Ryan Warriner Staff Reporter @WarrinerRyan | sports@cm-life.com

CANTON, Ohio — After achieving top five finishes at the Mid-American Conference Championship meet on Saturday, the men’s and women’s cross country teams now turn their focus toward the Regional Championship. The women, led by sophomore and First Team All-MAC selection Kirsten Olling (21:10, seventh place), finished third overall, just one point behind Bowling Green in the 6K race. The men, led by senior and First Team All-MAC selection Nate Ghena (24:33, fifth place), finished fourth overall in the 8K. All MAC teams, with the exception of Northern Illinois and Buffalo, will be present at the Great Lakes Regional Meet on Nov. 13 in Madison, Wisconsin to attempt to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Big Ten teams and Atlantic Coast Conference team Notre Dame will be in attendance. University of Michigan is the favorite in both the men’s 10K

and women’s 6K races. “We want single digit numbers at the regional meet, that’s been our goal all season long,” said Associate Head Coach Matt Kaczor. “It’s the last meet of the season and

you want the best finish for that last meet. For us to (get to) where I can say ‘Yeah, that was awesome,’ I want to see a single digit number. If we run like we did today (at the MAC Championship meet) we’ve

got a shot.” The men’s team finished 12th out of 30 in last year’s regional while the women finished 14th out of 32 teams. Kaczor said both teams have a shot to finish in the top

ten, and believes the women’s team can finish as high as seventh in a field that currently has them ranked tenth. “Is that a lofty goal? Yeah, but look at the way they are running,” Kaczor said.

With the top five runners from each school counting toward the team score, the top five Chippewa women finished in the top 22 out of a field of 102 at the MAC Championship, all within less than one minute of each other. The men’s race (10K) is two kilometers longer than any race CMU has run this year. “You’ve got to mentally make yourself toughen up for the extra 2K,” freshman Luke Anderson said. “The MAC Championship race will help immensely in preparing for regionals because of the hardships, like the rolling hills, of this race.” The Chippewas hope to be physically and emotionally rested and hungry by the regional meet. “MAC week is definitely an emotional week,” Kaczor said. “The next couple days, the ‘decompress days’ as I call them, we’ll get our lives back together, then we will get back to the workouts this Tuesday. The Great Lakes Regional Meet will be held in Madison, Wisconsin on Nov. 13, with only the top three teams and 25 individual finishers advancing to the NCAA National Championship.

Women’s cross country will end drought soon Disney’s The Incredibles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Mean Girls, 50 First Dates and The Polar Express. These are all movies that came out the last time a Central Michigan cross country team won the Mid-American Conference Championship. The men’s team won it back in 2004. For the women’s team, the drought has been even longer. The last time they won it was all the way back in 2000,

before George W. Bush’s first term as president. This year, the Chippewas women’s and men’s teams placed third and fourth respectively and the women were only

one point off second. Since 2012, neither the men nor women have finished outside of the top five in the conference, so they are on the right track. Next year, however, could be the best chance the women’s team has had in a long time to win the MAC Championship. The women’s team returns four of their top five runners with only senior Alyssa Dyer leaving the team after this year.

Fellow senior Kelly Schubert redshirted her freshman year and has one more year of eligibility. The four runners they return all finished in the top 22 this year at the MAC Championship and all will improve with another year of training and experience under their belt. They will be led by sophomore Kirsten Olling, who finished seventh this year in the MAC Championship, and Schubert,

but will also field a healthy dose of very young talent in freshmen Samantha Allmacher and Megan O’Neill, both of whom received championship experience this year. This year’s MAC Champion, Eastern Michigan, by contrast will lose two of their top four runners, as will second place Bowling Green. The next closest team to CMU at the MAC Championship was Western Michigan in fourth place by a

wide margin of 45 points. With the Chips returning so many from this year’s top five and EMU and Bowling Green taking a step back, they have a very real shot to overtake both of them and capture the championship. It has been 15 years since the last time the Chippewas won a MAC Championship. That drought, I am sure, will come to an end next season.

Pelafas’ 89th-minute equalizer not enough Heartbreaking first-round exit to Buffalo on penalty kicks ends soccer’s season By Joe Judd Staff Reporter @josecan_yousee | sports@cm-life.com

With two seconds left on the clock in Central Michigan’s soccer season, freshman forward and midfielder Alexis Pelafas buried a game-tying shot to send CMU and Buffalo into overtime. Her fifth goal of the season made it 2-2. But ultimately, CMU fell to Buffalo in the Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinals Sunday. The Chippewas’ first postseason match in two years ended on penalty kicks Sunday at a windy UB Stadium, after a pair of overtime periods weren’t enough to decide a winner. With the loss, CMU’s season comes to an end, while Buffalo moves on to the semifinal round of the tournament where they will play Western Michigan, who defeated Toledo 3-0 Sunday. After missing out on last year’s eight-team tournament, the No. 6 Chippewas had a chance to capture the first conference championship since 2010. “In the context of the game today I’m very proud of the Chips as a team,” said Head Coach Peter McGahey. “I think that you cannot discount the competitive character that we showed during the game.” Going up against the No. 3 Bulls as underdogs, CMU proved to be a nuisance for Buffalo through the game’s concluding minutes. Buffalo opened up the scoring as the second minute began, with a goal off a crossbar, deposited into the lower left corner of the net. Freshman forward Madison Pogarch helped CMU respond in the 20th minute with a goal coming from 30 yards away. It was Pogarch’s third goal of the season and it tied the game at one goal apiece going into halftime. Statistically, it was an even match as the two teams headed to their locker rooms for the intermission. Buffalo having attempted six

shots, three on goal and CMU with five shots, two of which were on goal at the half, made for an evenly-contested first 45 minutes. The Chippewas lost the lead on a goal in the 56th minute. After the Bulls pushed across the go ahead goal, they limited CMU’s attacking chances by maintaining possession of the ball until the time they needed it the most. Pelafas’ goal in the 89th minute forced overtime, in which the Bulls controlled. Pelafas was also given two yellow cards following fouls committed in the 107th and 109th minutes respectively. After two overtime periods failed to yield a result, the game was sent to a round of penalty kicks to determine the winner. Senior Kaelyn Korte scored the lone goal in this period, however, Pelafas along with juniors Taylor Potts and Eliza Van de Kerkhove couldn’t get anything past the opposing goalkeeper. McGahey went on to say it is easy to look straight to the penalty kicks and draw their opinion from those alone, but that isn’t a fair assessment of how his team played. “You have a tendency to look at the penalty kick shootout and say ‘Okay, that didn’t go exactly our way’ and somehow that devalues the performance or the character they showed throughout the game. I certainly do not believe that.” Freshman goalkeeper Zoie Reed made her final start of 2015. She made four saves and faced six shots on goal. Before the penalty kick round began, Reed was replaced in net with junior Maddy Bunnell, who proceeded to give up three penalty kick goals in the loss. McGahey said going with Bunnell was part of the plan from the beginning. “(Bunnell coming in) had always been the plan,” he said. “If we had gotten that far, then we were going to utilize Maddy’s strengths on penalties to try to take us through the penalty kick shootout. That was by design.”

Football team spends $30,000 donation on iPads By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com | @TDesOrmeau

An annoymous alumni donation of $30,000 in the offseason allowed the football team to buy tablets for each member of the team, something Head Coach John Bonamego said “has been a big shot in the arm.” “Every kid on the team, right down to the freshman walk-on, can watch practice film, they can watch as much game film as they want, they can watch everything that’s up there,” Bonamego said. “All of our practice schedule and all of our scouting report information is pushed to one of the iPads.” In the past, players wouldn’t have most of the information until Tuesday morning meetings. Now, the same information is uploaded

almost immediately. “The games are up and I’m not even home (or have had) a chance to change (on gamedays),” said senior defensive end Blake Serpa. “Last year, you’d come over (to the Indoor Athletic Complex) to watch film and people would be watching it, so you’d be sitting around waiting. I think it just lets people be that much more prepared and that helps us as a team.” Besides schedules, scouting reports and game film, the team uploads practice footage and game film of opposing teams. Junior quarterback Cooper Rush said players can also use the tablets for academics. He said he uses it between an hour and an hour-and-a-half to watch game film every day. “It makes it much easier. It’s just

easy access, right at home,” Rush said. “You can sit on your couch and watch it. You don’t have to come in (the IAC) or travel anywhere, you just take it anywhere.” While the tablets are knew to most of the team, Bonamego said the technology has become commonplace in the NFL, including his past few years with the Detroit Lions as the special teams coordinator. Just like the professionals, the Chippewa players don’t receive anything on paper anymore. “As soon as a certain part of the game plan gets done, it gets uploaded and it gets pushed out to them,” Bonamego said. “That’s a big benefit for us that we didn’t have a year ago. That’s kind of the world I lived in the last three years in the NFL. It was paperless. That’s been big.”

Chippewas ‘win ugly’ in Akron; face MAC leaders Toledo next its winning streak to three games with Saturday’s defeat of the Zips. The 4-1 record is the best start to a MAC season the program has had since 2009, when Butch Jones’ squad began conference competition 5-0 and won the MAC Championship that December. That was also the last season CMU topped Toledo. This year, a conference title has become a serious possibility for the team. “Right now, I think the best thing is that we’re relevant and we’re going into November and we get a couple days to rest up our team,” said Head Coach John Bonamego. “It’s better to win ugly than to lose pretty.” Ugly is exactly how CMU has played during their last two games, scoring a season-low 14 points in Saturday’s win and committing a season-high 10 penalties for 55 yards two weeks ago against Ball State.

By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | sports@cm-life.com

AKRON, Ohio — The stage has been set for the most significant Central Michigan football game in half a decade. And the Chippewas will have more than a week to prepare for it. Following Saturday’s 14-6 defeat of Akron, the Chippewas enter aweek off, giving players and coaches three days away from football activities and time to collect themselves physically and mentally. When they return to practice on Thursday, the team will be getting ready for No. 20 Toledo — the only undefeated team in the Mid-American Conference and the first ranked opponent to visit Kelly/Shorts Stadium since 2013. After dropping three of its four nonconference games, CMU has lost just one conference game and extended

With the offense struggling to find the rhythm that helped CMU gain confidence as the MAC season began, Bonamego has turned to Defensive Coordinator Greg Colby and the Chippewa defense to win games. On Saturday, senior defensive end Blake Serpa had the best game of his career, recording six tackles, two sacks and

two forced fumbles. Serpa’s biggest play of the game nearly caused a turnover and pushed the Zips back 27 yards. He is one of CMU’s senior leaders who hopes his college career culminates in a MAC Championship victory at Ford Field in December. “It’s kind of exciting because you know it’s still your opportunity,” Serpa

said. “It’s your chance to do something. It’s on your shoulders, really, so you take that with great pride.” Outside of Saturday’s mediocre performance at Akron, junior quarterback Cooper Rush is off to the best single-season start of any CMU quarterback in history. Rush said he knows CMU is going to have to improve to keep up with high-octane passing attack of MAC-elite teams like Toledo and Bowling Green. “(We played) sub-par,” Rush said. “(With) 14 points, we’re lucky to win the game.” After playing three teams that were fresh off a bye in four weeks and defeating all of them, CMU gets its turn to reflect as the final stretch of the season approaches. “(Toledo is) one of the best teams in the country, so we’re excited,” Rush said. “We’ll be ready.”
